with an apprehensive glance toward

gone to town for some shopping,
and she had an uncanny habit or

"Oh. bother the old money"
shrugged Alison. She'll lead US a
dance all our lives on the prospect
of getting it, and in the end she'll
probably leave it to home for in
digent cats. Besides, feel beastly
bout being nice to people with a
hopeful eye for their demise"
You are very young. Alison,
sighed Mrs. Atherton. You will
feel differently about money when
you've been married longer. I have
tried to save you from ever feeling
the pinch OF circumstances. and
hope Lawrence, who certainly
;
in comfort. will be generous al

any woman to have independent

Alison looked suddenly thought

The Head Nurse
BLOOD A BUSY BEE.
OQuS.

With all the vessels dilated and
every organ holding all the blood it
possibly could we would have to
have double the quantity OF blood
that is now our allowance to keep
up the supply. Our total amount
about twelve pints-is not enough
to furnish a working supply to all
the organs at once.
Consequently the blood rushes
about like a busy housekeeper. do
ing the work that is most neCes-
ssry at the time and then passing
on to another organ where a full
supply is needed. This generally
works well enough when Nature is
allowed to decide where ii is most
needed. Sometimes we determine
to get ahead of Nature and put
something over on her. We eat a
heavy meal-the blood goes TO the
stomach. Then we rush to catch a
train and blood is needed to supply
the lungs. We must call on the
supply in the stomach or the sup
ply to the brain. The result is
either indigestion by taking II
away from the former; or faintinG
by removing it from the latter.
Similar results more or less grave
always follow when we try to do
too many things at once.
On a cold day the blood leaves
the skin and backs up in the ar
teries. On a warm day it sometimes
deserts its post and rushes into the
arteries of the skin and the heart
has to pump a little harder to sup
ply enough to do the work needed
in the interior.
So remember that there is enough
blood to care for the body intelli-
gently but none to waste on silly
stunts.

Two Weeks Time.
By BARBARA BURKE.

Skirts are shorter! At least
ten inches from the ground is to
be the advocated length for
popular fall wear according to
the styles displayed at the re-
cent fashion show at the Hotel
Commodore, New York.
Pretty, shapely ankles will,
therefore, be a most important
feature. To be really beautiful
the ankle should be in proper
tion to ones height and weight
and should measure slightly
more than half the size of the
calf, tapering gradually so that
the lines are graceful.
How to Have Them.
Nature may not have endowed
you with this grace but exercise
and massage VIII improve the
shape OF unsightly ankles in
very short time.
The following exercise will he
found most beneficial:
First of all. relax in a com
Portable position with the knees
crossed so that one foot is raised
from the floor, thereby taking
any support from it, Taking
each foot in turn, exercise from
the ankle, twisting the foot in
circular motion and then up

the work is done from the ankle

TWELVE ROUND CONTESTS WILL,
 BE LECALIz'EL)

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 27 (by As sociated Press) Twelve round no decision boxing contests under super vision of a state commission be- come legal in Kentucky June 15. For years an anti-prizefight law has been on the statute books which has op- erated to bar almost any kind of a ring contest. This measure is still sin effect, but new law passed by the last legislature becoming oper- ative in June contains an exemption clause.
 This provision affords protection for clubs and boxers operating under manner that the state racing com mission protects race tracks to which it issues licenses. Gloves are lim- ited to six ounces.
 The commission, which is to be composed of three persons, will work out the rules for the conduct of matches. It has the power to license or refuse license to any club or person desiring to promote a contest. It may not issue clienses to a non- resident of the state, and non-resi- dent is defined as a psrsOn who has not resided in Kentucky for three consecutive years.
 Licenses will cost $500 each. Five per cent of the gross receipts of each match must be set aside for the state.
 The office of boxing commissioner carries no salary. The expenses an- nual1y of the commission are limited to $5000. This is to include salary to a secretary and travelling and other expenses of the commission.

SITE FOR WOOD PULP
 MILLS BEING SOUGHT
 IN ALASKAN FORESTS

Alaska as a Land of Opportunity for paper pulp manufacturers is rapidly coming into the Iimelight de- clared B. J. White, Director of the Territorial Bureau of Publicity in a statement just made. Every mail from the south, said MT. White brings inquiries from manufacturers of pulp who are seeking to find mill s sites in the territory.
 Recent legislation removing regu- lations heretofore locking up these resources has been given widespread notice. American pulp men univer- sally have turned their eyes to the North and indications strongly point to Alaska becoming in the not dis tant future the greatest pulp and paper producing country of the en- tire country.
 In order to satisfy inquiries and be of every possible assistance in up- building an industry that will add an- nually millions of dollars to Alaska $ revenues, MT. White desires to get into communication with people kav- ing mill sites or knowledge of such, where ample water power facilities can be obtained and where suitable timber can be had. He will do every thing possible to connect outside cap ita1 with holders of all suitable mill Eites.

SCOUTS sTEADYING INFLUENCE

Maj. Gen. Littleton W. T. Waller of the United States marines has watched the Boy Scouts at work and this is what he has to say of them:
 "If lad lives up to the scout oath he must of necessity become a good citizen, making his mark in Lis gen eration.
 'The record of the graduates from the scouts to the military service has been excellent, a record to thrill the scouts with pride.
 "The Boy Scouts of America have done splendid work in the efforts to keep up men at the front in good shape In all the drives for Liberty loans their work has been increasingly valuable The instruction received by the lads spells preparedness for good citizenship and for the living of clean, Upright, moral lives.
 "I am strongly In favor of the move ment, especially at this period of un- rest and uncertainty, when vicious propaganda is doing much to under mine the content and happiness of our people. I hope the movement may wax stronger and stronger year by year."

He was a member of the Royal Liverpool Golf club, which had monthly medal com petitions scheduled The club book contains a record of this event and at one stage of the game the entry read thus: Charles Hutchings, 114-3O-84."
