Mrs. George Drew, whose last meet
ing it was supposed to be owing to
her removal from town in the near
future, produced a surprise in the
shape of farewell poem composed
for the occasion to her sisters in the
department, and the sentiment and
poetry awakened enthusiasm in her
audience. The suggestion was made
and voted on that a book should be
obtained in which to keep the original
work of the members.

as every appliance has to meet GER
tain standrd and is guaranteed abso-
lutely. This is only good business
sense in the compny, for, of course, as
the lecturer said, if the appliances are
not satisfactory they are soon laid
aside as useless and the current is no
longer being used, whereas if they are
real labor savers they are constantly
being used She showed the ingenious
use of the small articles, such as poach-
ing eggs or heating water on an cleo
trio iron, in an emergency.
Interested questions on the part of
the audience showed their apprecia
ton, and the question of the expense
of the cooking in this new way was
answered by the estimate of or 4
cents an hour and the expense of the
new gas range $88 for cash, somewhat
more if in monthly payments.

The Psalm was chosen because mu-

Psalms are common to all churches.
Then followed little song from

so harmonized with the words and

Blew Out Candles
At Epiphany Tea,
Great Occasion

The Annual meeting of the Epiphany
Circle of the Epiphany Church of
Grantwood was very eventful occa-
sion. The attendance was the largest
in it's history, about sixty members
present, with the president, Mrs. q.
Siegrist, in the chair.
The financial secretary showed the
sum of $2,S7503 raised from April,
1919, to April, 1920.
OF this sum, $1,000 has been paid on
the debt of the church, leaving $27l.0o.
The running expenses of the society
were $13S31, leaving in the bank a
balance of $13S.31.
Rev. Father Feretti gave great cred
it to the members for the large sum
realized.
Mrs. James Conroy and Mrs. Sic
grist. the Nominating Committee, pre-
scented a ticket of candidates who were
elected:
President, Mrs. Peter Gautier; vice
president, Mrs. e. lie Clerq; recording
secretary, Miss Lucy Madden; finan-
cial secretary, Miss Carrie Di SciasciO !;
treasurer, Miss Belle Mulholland; for
trustees, Mrs r. Fox, ST., and Mrs.
Koran were elected.
The pleasant surprise planned by the
retiring president was the boys orches-
ira, which, under the direction of Mr..
Wirths, the music teacher, made its
first public appearance on this occa-
sion.
The boys who performed were Harry
Abrams, at the piano; Arthur Abrams,
Johnny COrrado, Edmund Wirths, all
violinists, together with Mr.. Wirths,
who played with them. The selections
played were Gin Spring Time" by
Greenwald :" "Graduati0n Waltz by
the same author, and a selection from
the opera of Martha"
The youthful musicians played as
tonishingly well, giving proof that they
were born musicians.
Mr.. Stannek, the famous bass of the
Epiphany choir, sang ooh, Promise
Me" and Rocked in the Cradle of the
Deep" He was accompanied by Mrs.
J. D. Coysh at the piano.
Mr.. Wirths played selection on the
violin, and Miss Carrie Di Sciascio the
soprano of Epiphany choir, delighted
her hearers with pleasing vocal num-
Der.
Tables were set along the entire
length of the hall, and every seat was
occupied, the guests including some
noted artists. The particular attrac-
ton was the huge birthday cake of
solid chocolate made by Mrs. R. Fox.
1t was most attractive with its white
icing and it's six white candles in vel
low roses to commemorate the sixth
birthday of the circle. The lighted
candles were blown out by the past
presidents of the circle, as many can
dies as each had served in years. Mrs.
Siegrist had three candles to blow out.
She was not only the president at first,
but was the original organizer of the
circle and the one who started the
church in Grantwood, so she had the
first two and the last one candle to ex-
tinguish.
Mrs. Nellie Bastien had two candles
to blow out, as she had served two
years, and to Mrs. c. Yale fell the lot
of one, but as she, on account of her
recent bereavement, was not present
her duties were performed by Miss
Lucy Madden, the faithful secretary of
all these six years.

ROADS
HORN AUTOMATICALLY TooTs
Device Installed on "Dead Mans
Curve" In North Carolina Warns
Of Approaching Motor.

Sound your horni !" Dangerous
curve aheadr" The roads are well
fortified with these bright red warn
ings. But you can't see signs by the
roadside at night, and you surely don't
want to toot your horn continually,
waking sieepers in the houses you
pass. What then7
The solution lies In the unpreten-
tious oblong piece Of metal lying in the
road. AS your car passes over It a
horn o few feet in front Of you auto
matlcally toots loud and long, letting
the people around the curve know that
you are coming.
The device is not unlike the light sig
nal system used in the New York sub
ways and that are operated automati-
cally by the trains.
You will notice two treads running
lengthwise. AS your car passes over
the one on the left II will be depressed
and an arm extending downward from
II will hit a ratchet wheel. This wheel
then rotates and carries with 1t larg-
er wheel attached to its shaft.
Contacts on the large wheel will hit
against electric brushes as 1t rotates.
Wires from the brushes lead to the
horn and its motor. When the circuit
is thus closed the horn will toot.
But why have this revolving wheel
instead of ordinary metal contacts2
Because II your automobile is going at
the usual rate of 20 miles an hour the
tread will be depressed for only about
one hundredth part Of a second
much too short time for even start
ing the motor on the horn. The re-
volving wheel tends to prolong the con-
tact.
And now for the tread on the right
side. This prevents the horn from
footing unnecessarily when a car ap-
proaches from the opposite direction
where 1t has already passed the dan
| ger.
The right tread likewise has an arm
attached to its But this arm is fixed
at an angle so that Il almost touches
the arm OF the left tread. Then, when

IS RACE TO BE HAlRLESS7
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason
That Coming Generations
Will Be Bald.

That the man of the next century
will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again, and the fact
that many men under forty are bald
seems to indicate that this may be
possible, the men Of the coming gen.
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally a hairless
specimen of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But 1t Is through no fault Of
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps I'M
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females Of the species, and
while they may be only working out
the will Of Providence, they are doing
It deliberately by 'bobblng" their hair.
The fashion was introduced, it Is
said, by Russian women, who disguised
themselves trying to get out OF their
MISREPRESENTATION country. Coming to
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention, was first taken up
by the bohemian set in New York,
and now is rapidly spreading. Some
Of the older women, not wishing to
sacrifice their locks, are said to be
wearing false bobbed hair.
