Unless you have stopped at the

Tho Electric Iron

ELECTRIC irons are all good,
but some are better than others,
and they all have their personal
peculiarities. The outstanding facts
about the Elektro Electric flatiron
are that it stands on end without
help from any one or anything and
does not scorch the cloth; it has
its heating element running along
the outside edges Of the iron, each
one being about an inch wide and
six inches long and meeting at the
point, whereas most irons have the
heating element in the center. The
scorch test always made in such
cases (placing the iron heated to
$50 degrees on four folds of soft
towel paper for three minutes} gave
quite different results from those
usually obtained, the outer edges,
especially near the irons point
showing very deep brown color
and the next darkest section being
at the tip with very little color
toward the back and lower center.
Tho manufacturers claim that the
greatest heat thus goes where it
is most needed, namely, to the edges
of the iron rather than the center.
As to efficiency the main point is
that the iron heated up from 10 per
cent TO Is per cent faster than the
average, while the time that heat
was retained was lowered 15 per
cent, these two points being usually
reciprocal.
These being the special points dis
covered about the Elcktro iron--in-
side and out, az it was dissected and
uscd in the Institute laboratory

A Narrow Escahe

Jack and Ted were skimming lightly over the surface of the snow 'on their skis. Say, wouldn't 1t be- awful if we should go over the ledger" said Ted. Well, we'd be lucky if we came out with anything short of broken neck, ? said Jack, who was the older of the two. Both boys were strong and graceful and seemed to understand the art of skiing thoroughly. After silent iy coasting along for some time, Ted said: T think we are nearly at the ledge" So the two boys turned and went off at a right angle from the direction in which they had previously been going. Too late they found their mistake:
 They had been going along parallel with the ledge, and now they went right off the end of it. While drop- ping through the air Jack shouted to Ted to keep his legs under him. Then they struck the bottom. The next thing they were conscious of was s large bank. of snow all around them They got up and went home as best they could. On the way home Ted turned to. Jack and said: Say. we must have been lucky" Jack grinned and nodded.

Then he needs to work on the question. dealing with the strength of materials and their durability; asphalt, wood blocks, crushed stone and the like. Then he needs to learn enough architecture and engineering for the building of bridges and culverts.
 In the practical end, it's easy for boy to get a job as a surveyors as- sistant during the summer vacation. If he, lives in a city, there's a lot to be learned by watching the repairs of streets and chumming up with the fore man on the job. A grizzled old fore man will often tell an interested lad secrets which can't be found in any books. Then, too, good nature and the knack of handling men is great asset.
 For the boy who wants adventure there's demand for roadbuilders from China to the Caucasus. For the patri- aotic boy there's chance of doing one of the most needed things in the United States. For the boy who likes city life, there's chance for such work in every city. Everywhere and all the time, there's job for the road-b builder, and, at the end of each days work, he can go home confident that he's made the world better place to live in.

A Goose's Love for a Dog.

Once there was. goose. that loved 8 dog so much she. could not be made to go with the rest of the geese to roost at night. She would sit at the yard gate in sight of the dog. When the dog went out of the yard she would surely follow him. If the dog parked at anyone she would run up to the person he, was barking at. For two years she Kept up this strange love for the dog. ..s S-s..s. s.s ss
 At last the dog fell ill. She would sit beside the sdog all day long. The poor goose would. starve to death but wouldn't go home. Att last the dog died. She did not live three weeks after the dog. Now what do you think the goose loved the dog for?
 It was this: One day long previous 3. sly old fox came to the yard and sprang upon the poor goose. He took her by the neck and started home. He thought he would have a, fine dinner; but the brave dog saw what he was doing and started barking at him. He did not pay attention to him. The dog would say: You old thief of a fox, let that goose go or I'll. bite you to pieces: The dog got hold of the fox and tore him to pieces.
 The goose went up to the dog and said Quack;- Quack, Quack. by which she meant You dear dog, you have saved my life" Now you know why the goose loved the dog.

One summer afterroon, while visit ing friend living in Groton, we de- cided to take an auto ride. There were seven people, four children and three gTownups.
 We started in the afternoon. after having put the house in order. We had wanted to take trip to Norwich but unfortunately we passed by the road which leads to Norwich, so in- stead we went to North Stonington. On our way, We stopped to pick some juicy hukleberries growing along the roadside. Soon we started again, but only went about half mile, when the machine refused to go and came to a sudden sta1dstill. My friend and her mother went to a farmhouse not far away to telephone to Groton for as- sistance from a friend. While they were gone. the auto began to go a lit- tie but soon stopped again. Finally my friend and her mother returned and everyone proceeded to push the auto down the small hill and there we waited.
 We then sent someone to the store to buy some food, as 1t was after SUD- per time and we had not eaten our supper. Soon assistance from Groton came and we had 8 long journey home again.
 We ate supper in the automobile going home and were greatly relieved when we were. safely tucked inr bed that night, being utterly. fatigued from our trip.

 This plot brought such profitable re- turns that she bought another plot of quarter of an acre and set it out with strawberry plants. Katie thinks that strawberries give the best returns for the amount of work expended on them of any of her fruits.
 There is never any question about a demand for small fruits. Katie's are always promised weeks ahead, although there are several men raising berries in the same town. If she wanted to in- crease her output and ship the berries to city fruit or commission man, there would be no doubt about mar ket. Prices for good fruits are high.
 The cost of working small fruit plantation should not be over SIPS to $150 per acre. Strawberries and entrants can be made to yield 5000 quarts per acre, blackberries 5000 quarts, and red raspberries, 2OOO. When one considers that it requires only 2 small piece of land, small capital and no heavy labor, no girl who IS inter- ested in small fruits should hesitate to undertake the venture

i. How Napoleon Crossed the Alps.

About a hundred years ago there lived 8 great general whose name was Napoleon Bonaparte. He was the lead- CT of the French army, and France at this time was at war with nearly all the countries around. He wanted very much to take his soldiers into Italy, but between France and Italy there are high mountains called the Alps, the tops of which are covered with snow and ice.
 "Is it possible to cross the Alps?" said Napoleon.
 The men whom he had sent to look at the passes over the mountains shook their heads. Then one of them said: sIt may be possible. but"
 Let me hear no more" said Napo- leon. Forward to Italy!"
 People laughed at the thought of an army of sixty thousand men crossing the Alps where there was no road. Napoleon waited only to see that ev- erything was in good order, and then he gave the order to march.
 The long line of soldiers and horses and cannon stretched for nearly twen ty miles. When they came to a steep place where there seemed to be no way to go farther. the trunapets sounded "Chargei" Then every man and horse did its best and the whole army moved forward.
 Soon they were safe over the Alps. the plains of Italy.
