He had his wife examined by lun'
acy board. Mrs. Sauer cried as she
told how all the money her husband
turns over to her each pay day "goeE
out as fast as it comes in. l can't af'

1t seems apparent tina: MS French
bride is determined to guard hel
husbands interests. Perhaps a mil
lion French girls would not all prove
as thrifty. Many would not marry
here, but some would. We would
watch their attack on the high cost
of living and American extravaganza
with considerable interest.
A group of such economical ano
temperamental brides as Mrs. Sauel
would give a proteering market man
a chastening half hour when they ap'
peared to do their mornings buying
"How much, re cauliflower?" Marie
would ask.
''It is berry nice; so cents" says the
grocer.
"Mon Dieu! and Marie swoons on

"Forty-fve cents" says the sales
man,
INA foiw and Facette collapses
across the PROSTATE form Of Marie.
And so with the others, until the
proprietor calls a couple of ambu-
lances and his reputation goes
screaming across the town.
We would hardly sugges; such a
method of reducing the cost of liv
ing. But one can never tell what the
importation of a million thrifty
French girls for domestic service
might do to the Ameican habit Of ex.
tavagance-and to the pofiteers.
Thus says the Chicago Tribune
But can one ever tell what the i'm
portation of a million thrifty French
girls for domestic service might de
to the present domestic felicity in g
million American homes?
When the President of France ha!

million Fench girls might not be 81
careful about the fall of a mere

Mrs. Ewait Sauer, the French bride

upon by the high cost Of living and

couldn't understand how such little
thing as extravaganza could produce
a mental storm of such magnitude.

COLLEGE VANDALISM

IA
DR.. D. M. Douglas, president of the
Presbyterian College of this State in
the Founders Day address delivered
recently at the University of South
Carolina had this to say of the abuse
of college buildings by Southen stu
dents; ~ "a .E ,
81 mentioned as part of your in
heritance a material equipment pro
vided for your use. Is there not re-
sponsibility resting upon you to take
care of it? There is one lesson South
ern students have not learned; that
is, how to take care of public build
ings. This is noticed especially By
those who have been connected with
Northern institutions. We do not like
to make comparisons, especially when
they are unfavorable. was visiting a
Northern institution not fong ago,
and said something to the person
with whom I was talking about the
arrangement of the rooms In the
dormitory. He said, "Would you like
to see room?" He walked up to
door and knocked. A student said,
"Come in," and there I found beau
tifully kept room. There is not a
Southern president who is not en-
barrassed when he is asked to show
his dormitories. / know Southern
college which advertised. extensively
a new dormitory. A few years later l
visited the college and thought [
would like to 60 through this modern
dormitory. From the amount of plas-
tering knocked from the walls and
other damage done, you might have
thought it had, been occupied in the
meantime as a stable. There is a de-
sire at the present time on the part
of the State to provide beautiful
buildings for students, but until
there is a change among students,
and they are willing to take better
care of what is being provided for
them, it is going to be difficult to
convince the State and friends of
education that money put into hand
some dormitories is wise invest
ment. 1t is discouraging to erect
buildings, and in few years find
them all abused"
Not only do the remarks of DR..
Douglas aptly apply to our college
property but to public property of
every kind. We have only recently
been told that one reason why the
government did not like to leave the
front doors of the Abbeville post
Office building open after nine
o'clock in the evening was that van
dals-private citizens Of the town
persisted in abusing the funiture and
fittings in the lobby by strewing ink
about, tampering with the lock boxes
and whiting on the writing stands.
Another instance of the inborn
love of destruction anu abuss Of pub
lie property is to be found in the
public schools. Boys and girls, too,
take seeming delight in carving
their initials on desks in the school
room. During the Christmas holidays
a visitor to the high school, a college
boy, evidently prided himself in carv-
ing his monogram on a thrand new
desk in one ST the rooms.
Look through the song books in
any of the churches. You can ind in
Vulnerable caricatures of the. preach
ers, sketches of the choirs and witty
often sacrilegious, parodies of the
hymns or psalms. 1s.t-:.' .

Edison's Paper Shirt.

Importation of paper suits from
Germany by the department Of COM
merce of the United States, which are
heralded as costing about sixty cents
a suit, brings to mind an even more
economical invention at one time an
nounced by Thomas A. Edison, &C
cordng to an exchange.
Mr.. Edison several years ago, in an
interview on great inventions, which
he had perfected or was about to per-
feet, went into great detail concerning
a par Nrt. This shirt, made of very
thin b. durable paper. was to be COM
posed of 365 layers. The highest de-
gree of sanitation could be preserved
by its wearer without the expense OF
single laundry bill.
The idea was TO make new SHIFT
every day by tearing away the layer
which had seen service the day before
1t was not reported that Mr.. Edison
ever put his garment on the market
or whether 1t turned out to be fail
ure.

OCCUPATION FOR THE BORED
To Those Who Find Time Hanging
Heavy on Their Hands Writer
Recommends Washing Dog.

Those who find the days tedious
back-pOrch sport of washing the dog.
After an hour of this, persons who
have been bored to extinction have
been known to feel real pleasure in
just sitting still for two whole days,
with hands folded and eyes closed
Just sitting.
The hard part is to catch the ami
nal. Somehow that jolly instinct
which Mother Nature has given dumb
brutes seems to inform him that all
is not well. He who usually leaps
forward with wagging tail at a friend
~ lift of the eyebrow will at this i'm
portant moment regard his owner with
reproachful look that is quite be-
yond description. You have to see the
look, and try to catch the hound, in
order to appreciate IT. Some favor
the seductive smile and the velvet
voice as the best means of coaxing
the creature to draw near. Person
ally, / favor the ever-ready appeal to
the stomach. Dogs may he long on
sentiment, but they are never so emo
tionally inclined as when in full sight
Of piece of juicy meat.
We will assume that you have
caught him, however, and have started
to drag him toward his doom.
Here 1t is that one notices fo- the
first time the strange relation of the
20 fhn D..
If your dog has long ears, you will
detect no difference whatever. Some
dog fanciers declare that even the
bark sounds brayish, fact for which
the author cannot vouch.
When the hound has at last been
dragged to the edge of the tub or
basin, the best advised move is to
tackle him around the waist and jump
in with him. You'll get drenched
anyhow, so what does it matter? The
real sport begins at this point, and
usually continues until friend dog
playfully swirls his soapy tail In
your eye. Authorities agree that this
is the best time to capitulate. You
may not have succeeded in washing
him, but, by thunder, you have showed
him who's master here, and that's
something, anyhow
Besides, when the family gathers
about and asks you If the hound ac-
tually got bath, no one will dare
dispute your word for it that the op-
GRAFTON was signally successful. In
spite of all evidence to the contrary
and | say evidence advisedly-all
will agree that Rover is clean as a
whistle. Otherwise someone might
have to try it again.-BostOn Herald.

Lipton's First Business Venture.

DR.. j. Fl. Ostrander, a personal
friend of Sir Thomas Upton, told re-
Gently, for the first time, the story of
LiptOn's initial business venture.
Lipton's first business venture was
an event In one little corner of Glas-
gov. He bought, for a few pounds,
a sorry old rundown provision shop
that had changed hands a score Of
times; everybody had failed. 1t was
in a nelghborhood where profits we're
meager, and housewives close traders,
and where sharp practice and indiffer-
ent ethics precluded credit. So, when
Upton announced that he would trust
any decent neighbor once, all fOresaw
his doom.
Upton, however. did not mean that
he would carry accounts 30 days, for,
at this period, five such accounts
would have swamped him. AS he him
self put it: "In misfortune | will car
ry any decent chap till Saturday night.
| will be a friend to you in spite of
prevailing business rules; but it you
break faith with me you will lose g.
friend, and | will lose my business"
Thus he put them on their honor.
And it won; won because sympathy
and fellowship dominated the boy and
excited like attributes in others.-De-
trOit News.

DANA STUMP FULLER
NEW CLEARING DEVICE
Company Organized in Spokane to
Manufacture Land Clearing Ma
chimes Invented by II. J. Dana

The organization of the Dana
Stump Fuller company of Spokane
was completed on Monday, December
q. H. j. Dana, a member of the en-
gineering department of the State
College of Washington was elected
president of the company, the other
members of which are Spokane bust
ness men. The company, which is
capitalized at $250,OO0, was organ
lied primarily for the purpose of
manufacturing hydraulic stump split
tiers and pullers and hydraulic cord
wood splitterS under two United
States patents issued to Mr.. Dana in
February and in June, 1920. 1t is
expected in the near future to start
the manufacture of self-propelled
machine which will split stumps up
to five and six feet in diameter with
out powder and then pull them. The
same machine will also pile the
stumps ready for burning. This
method of land clearing is much fast
er and cheaper than any of the old
methods that are in present use.
Many different men experienced in
stump pulling machinery predict a
great future for this type of machine.
In order to meet the demand for
means of splitting cordwood other
than by man power, the new company
has already started the manufacture
of a new type of cordwood splitting
machine. This is operated by a small
gas engine and will make from one
to five splits per minute on four
foot cordwood. 1t is expected to
have the first machine ready for de-
livery in about six weeks.

producer should be encouraged in
every way. Ultimately this will be

New Phosphate Industry.

The electric furnaces of southern
plant have been diverted from war
time products to the manufacture OF
phosphoric acid and potash, such ma
terials as synthetic pig iron. ferro-
manganese and ferro silicon being
found no longer profitable. In the
new industry, as described by the
Iron Age, phosphoric rock is smelted
in the electric furnace the phosphorus
being driven off as phosphoric oxide
suspended in the gases. Collection
of the gases and treatment by cleo
trical precipitation yields the phos-
phorus as a fine powder, which on
further treatment and concentration
becomes a superior product, free from
the impurities usual when sulphuric
acid is the disintegrating agent
American shales are similarly treated
for the production of potash, the
potassium oxides being formed in the
gases. and precipitated and collected.
