D-nul FelOniadi, VENT in tara
la virsta de 7 ami, vorbea bine ro-
mIneste. Totusi, avea oare-care
particularitate in intonatia cuvin-
telor sau in pronuntia lor. Aceasta,
treaca- -mearga. In convorbire insa
Gu cineva, patria departata era
tOt-deuna amentita Gu mutt foo :
no @ mai vaZusc de cind venise i'm
Rominia, dar ii lauda groaznic de
tare frumusetea, bogatia 81 vitejia.
Ca mutra, era placut; ca virsta,
intrc 4O-45 ami; ca pozitie soci-
ala, lnSurat, tata doua fete mari

mil franci pc an Gel putin.
Cind intrase capitanul Ropota,
comerciantul era gaia sd inceapa
pOvestirea pozitiunei ce avusesera
parintii lui in Grecia.
Dupa ce capitanul ceru lista 81
alese primul fel de bucate, d. Fe-
lOniadi incepu:
- Oar, scumpii mel prieteni,
parintii mel erau foarte bogati in
Oraselul Corinth... Aveau oi multe
81 faceau comert intins Gu pesti de
mare.
-Bogatii proprietari din Gre
cia au paduri intregi de maslini,
de portocali, de lamii. s., zise ca
pitanul Ropota.

Feloniadi, tusind din pricina unui
ardeiu rosu. AL dracului ardeiu..
La Elada ardeii erau mai putin

- Stu, am constatat 81 ell asta..
- D-ta, die captain? al fost pc

-Da, raspunse Ropota, 81 nu
mai multi decit acum doui ami.
Lucru care ma impresionat mai
tare fost multimea catirilor. ;.
Bogata tara, ce-i drept.. ST nu

FORGOT HER AWFUL MAKEUP
indianapolis Girl Will Have to Do
Much Explaining if Many Ac-
quaintances Saw Her.

"A senior of Technical high school
who prides herself on her contempt
for rouge and lip sticks went to the
photographers. Several class mates
helped themselves to liberal sup
ply of paint" just before posing,
thinking the pictures would be better.
Finally, they persuaded the senior TO
try it Just for the one time. No one
would ever be the wiser. Hesitating-
ly, she applied the crimson puff and
the oily crimson stick and dashed into
the studio for the final pose.
Half an hour later she was on the
car speeding homeward when she hap
pened to glance at the woman across
the aisle. That woman's complexion,
she thought was past forgiveness.
How could some people bear to use
that stuff and continue to appear in
public. Well, one thing was certain
nobody would ever see her rivaling
an October sunset. Then horrors! She
remembered she had forgot to wash
off her own "makeup. indianapolis

ALL IN THE FAMILY-PA'S
HAWAlIANS COMING

Now, do not get confused about the
name. This is once when Pa does
not mean Father. although in a way it
is all in the family. Ma is With the
company but they do not call her
Ma they call her Mrs Pa for that
is her name. Mr.. Pa. the head of
the Hawaiian company which will be
one of the attractions at Chautauqua.
is q member of the faculty of the fl
nous Ziegteld College of Music of
Chicago. although a native of Hawaii.
and that fact should be some indica-
tion of the high grade of the program
they will offer. The lure and charm
of the Hawaiian music. With its weird
melodies, its rhythmic swing, and the
SINGING melody. seem to have lost
nothing of their hold on the popular
fancy and under the trained fingers
of those artists will probably be more
popular than ever.

reason he welcomes any means of
enabling one man to do the work
which used to require two. The
tanning mill is merely one example
of an old fashioned two man job.
Others that might be mentioned
are the corn-shcller, the grlndstone
and the horse clipper.
Today neagly all of these two
man jobs can Ne performed by one
man. This has been accomplished
by substituting a small electric mo-
tor for the man who formerly
turned the crank. These motors
are made either to be attached per-
manently to the machine in ques-
ton, if it is one which is used fire.
quently, or to be moved about from
one machine to another where the
machine is used only occasionally.
For the latter kind of use the mo-
tor is mounted on small three
legged stand and is equipped with
a pulley having several grooves of
different diameter. The old hand
crank is removed from the machine
and a pulley is fitted to the crank
shaft. Pulleys of this kind are
now made with an assortment of
bushings which allow the pulleys
to be fitted to shafts OF different
sizes. A belt is then put over the
motor pulleys and the large pulley
on the crank shaft and the switch
is turned. The electric power
which Immediately begins to turn
the shaft is smooth and strong and
for every hour ii runs, "man
hour is saved.

ELECTRICITY AND
THE IMAM HOUR

1t used to take two men or a
man and boy to operate a fan
ming mill, one to turn the crank and
one to feed the grain into the mill.
In the old days befo;e the man
hour" was matter of interest to
the farmer this was not considered
