Selling a church bell by long-dis.

what a Troy IN. " bell company
actually did recently when a prospec-
tive customer called up from Boston.
He was chairman of committee
appointed to select IL bell for churh

called up to arrange for his commit
tee to visit the bell companys sales
room at Troy. While on the wire,
however, he happened to hear one of
the bells toll, and the telephone trans
mitted the sound so clearly and dis
tinctly that he at once suggested that
instead of making the trip to Troy
the committee select bell of the de-
sired tone by listening to it over the
telephone.
Accordingly. the committee gath
cred at the chalrman's Office In Bos-
ton at the appointed time. and, ac.
cOrding to arrangement. the bell com.
pany at Troy demonstrated the toll.
ing of its bells over the long-distanc0
telephone. After listening to several
bells the committee selected one with
which they were thoroughly satisfied
and saved the expense of trip.

IDEA OF "HUMOR" UNCHANGED
Tricks Which Caused Discomfort TO
Victim Are Not by Any Means
a Novelty.

Disgruntled moderns who comment
cynically on the people who flatten
their noses against the windows Of the
trick and novelty shops, complaining
that these represent the Intellectual
attachments of the American multi
tude. may easily modify their views by
trip to the Metropolitan Museum of
Art.
Perhaps the most widely known of
the novelty shop commodities Is the
glass with small hole in its side
through which the water trlckles on
it's unsuspecting user.
Such a trick as this, say the high
brows, is for Americans the highest
known form of humor. Perhaps
they're right, but anyhow this inven-
ton Is by no means modern one.
At the time in England when Add
son. Steele, Swift, Defoe and other
more or less well known literary lights
Of the Queen Anne period were writ
ing their greatest works for the edi-
ficatiOn of the world, the fashionable
English glassmakers were turning out
wineglasses with the same little per-
foration In the side.
History does not record whether the
onlookers shouted with gee at the
poor victim In those days, but it's
more than a fair bet that they did
The trick glass of that period as
shown at the museum was an even
more ingenious device than that Of the
present, for around the rim Of the
glass was a border Of flowers, in the
center of one of which was the per-
foration.
On the side opposite the hole the
flowers were arranged In a special
pattern which Informed the man who
was in on the joke where he might
safely put his lips.-New York Sun.

Effective Foo Signals.

In a heavy fog there Is danger of
collision between ships because the
uniform signals used merely indicate
their presence, and tell nothing of
their course or direction. A sea cap
tain of long experience has now de
vised system which oyercOmes this
difficulty, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Four signal horns of DIFF
ferent tones are used. two sirens, a
shrill whistle, and steam gong, I'LL
of which are operated by foot levers.
Each Of these corresponds to one
quadrant Of the compass, and is oper.
ated only when the ships course lies
In that general direction. The four
divisions of the quadrant itself are
Indicated by varying the signals. as,
for example. one long blast. long
and short, a long and two short, and
.Wo long. A recording mechanism Is
connected to the signal equipment and
serves as evidence In case Of subse.
quent question as to the handling Of
the ship.

WHY THE TERM "DoUGHBoY"7
Origin Of That and Other Nicknames
Applied to American Army Forces
Somewhat Obscure.

The reason and origin Of the nick
name "doughboy'' as applied to infan-
try soldiers in the American army
battle photographers and soldiers. Col.
James A. Moss, a military author,
famous for his writings on the GUS
toms and courtesies of the service,
once undertook to explain the reason
for calling foot troops "doughboys"
Colonel Moss writes:
"DoughbOy. The following versions
are given of the derivation Of the ex.
preston 'doughbOy' as meaning in
fantryman:
First. In olden times when infan-
trymen used to clean their white trim
mings with pipe clay, If caught in the
rain the whiting would run, forming
kind Of dough; hence the sobriquet,
'dOughboy.'
Second. The tramp of infantry
men marching in the mud sounds as
If their shoes were being worked and
pressed in dough-
third. From adobe (mud), con-
tracted 'dobie'; the idea being infan-
trymen are soldiers who have to march
in the mud; hence the expressions
used in the early sixties and seven
ties In referring to infantrymen as
'dobie crushers,' 'dobie makers and
mud crushers.
Fourth. However, some infantry
men think they are called 'doughboys'
because they are always 'kneaded'
(needeD, while other oldtime infan-
trymen think they are so called be-
cause they are the flower (four) Of
the army.
Probably loyal infantrymen think
this for the same reason that good
artillerymen say they are called
wagon soldiers because they are the
ones who always deliver the goods I"

MANY FAST DAYS IN YEAR
Greek Church Insists on Rigorous OBJ.
servance Of Recognized Periods
of Abstinence.

More strict than any other church
In its observance of fast days, the
Greek Church also Is more rigorous
In It's fasting than other churches.
The Lenten faster must abstain not
only from flesh, but must do without
fish, eggs, butter, cheese and even the
oil which is so much part of Greek
cooking. During Holy week the ortho-
dox Greeks eat hardly anything but
bread.
AS soon as Lent apprenticeship
Greek fast, it is called-the shops
where food is sold are decorated with
evergreen, and the Lenten fare Is
temptingly displayed. AS the Greeks
do not consider shellfish either meat
or fish, crabs, Holsters and other crus-
taceans are sold and eaten with par
ticular relish.
The longest fasting time for the
Greeks Is 1.-THE Great Fast" which
lasts 48 days.
The next longest fast is of 40 days.
1t begins Nov. Is and ends the day
before the great feast of Christmas.
During August there are Is days
Of fasting.
Beginning the Monday after the first
Sunday after Pentecost until June 20,
is the next longest fast. This year
1t was 10 full days.
Add to these long fasts six scat
tered fasts Of one day each, and there
Is total of 119 fast days which or.
thOdox Greeks and all visitors must
observe each year.

American. Made CARPETS.

Since 1897 the manufacturing of
rugs has been an important industry
In this country. The first rugs made
by power and on an American lnven.
ton was in the year 1889. 1t Is true
that America imported a great many
rugs until the beginning of the World
war, and. Of course, all oriental rugs
are imported.
France and Belgium sold many rugs
to us, but when war destroyed their
looms and made manufacturing i'm.
possible America had to turn to her
own looms to fill her needs, and to-
day we are in this country exporting
rugs by the thousands. We are man.
