NavaIos Now Blanket Making.

One of the wartime Injuries al
ready declining in price is the Navajo
blanket, says Phoenix, Ariz., dis
patch to the Christian Science Monl-
tor. For several years past the In
dams almost abandoned the weaving
of their famous blankets. 1t was
found that much more profit could be
secured by direct sale Of the wool to
eager eastern buyers. But the wool
market has tumbled, especially in con-
sideratlon Of wool of poor quality such
as comes from the reservation sheep.
The Indians never have attended to
keeping up the breed Of their wool pro-
ducers, though the white men who
range focks around the reservation
produce wool Of high grade. The stocks
of Navajo blankets now are well alb
sorbed and the Indians are setting up
their old looms and are bending to-
ward production a. never before.

No Great Poverty in italy.

Likeness of Italian women to Aineri-
can women In their bearing, build ana
manner of dress, was one Of the things
which impressed Miss Irene Raber,
lust returned from year of recreation
work with italian girls under the ltal-
ian Y. w. c. A.
"There Is a very little poverty and
no destitution among Italihn working
girls" Miss Raber says. "AnI they
dress quite stylishly in much the same
type of clothes New York's employed
girls wear. They are not given, how
ever, to georgette blouses or SILK stock
Tngs for work. But although they do
no, eurn as much money rs girls here
do, they know how to live on much
less.
"Nowherc in Italy did I see great
poverty. In spite Of the Continual
strikes, no home seemed t.. be wrecked.
Living Is not SO complicated there as
here, and when there's strike rhey
lust go without things till It's over.
There's always enough 10 eat"

industrial Ch..r,.rscss..

Shifting use Of wood, because Of
fashion or custom, Is Illustrated by
the result of recent survey of the
wood-using industries Of New York
state. In 1912 there were several
cane, whip and umbrella handle man
ufacturers in the state; this years
survey shows not a single manufacture
er Of walking sticks or whips and only
one Of umbrella handles. And yet New
York and Massachusetts until recently
supplied about forty per cent OF the
total product of these articles, with
most of the remainder coming from
Pennsylvania. 1t has been questioned
whether canes have gone out Of fash
ion as a result Of the war and whether
the automobile has entirely driven out
the whip.

''MAC|U g..
Nothing SO Thoroughly Oils the
Wheels Of Life.
This Old World Would Be a Better
Place II More People Would
Cultivate the Quality.

Tact oils the machinery Of life, de-
clares writer In London Answers.
Without It the world would be very
different thing; 1t would still 60 round,
certainly, but with what creaking
and jolting In every part!
Tact probably has more imitatoes
than anything else; evasion, dishon-
esty, white lies, all these and many
more masquerade under its name, yet
tact, In the true sense, is as unlike
them as gold is from dross.
Spurious tact is detestable. The
woman who manages" people, who
boasts that anything can be done
with a little tact" usually possesses
none. Real tact is spontaneous; a
child can have it; indeed, many sem
sitive children are exquisitely tact.
1t is a blend of unselfishness, imagi-
nation, and nice feeling, these three.
Men and women may be extremely
self-sacrificing, yet utterly tactless.
through their complete inability to put
themselves in other peoples places.
Who doesn't know the man who
drops the most appalling "bricks," SIM
ply because he lacks imagination, and
can't see how 1t will affect the feel
ings of his friends? He often, in fact,
generally is, the most good-natured
man possible, but lacks the precious
quality Of tact.
Some people are deliberately tact
less. These are divided into two
classes:
First, there Is the blunt straight
forward man, who takes pride in "call-
Ing a spade spade" and condemns
any camouflage Of this useful imple-
ment, however truthfully 1t may be
done, as finicking and insincere. Then
there are the callously Indifferent;
those who study no one but them
selves. They say what they like when
ever 1t pleases them totally oblivious
to the feelings Of their friends.
In the old fairy tales we read Of the
prince who had a marvellous pair OF
srectacles, which enabled him to read
the thoughts Of all those round him.
Quite lot of people possess this mag
ic gift today, except that we have
different name for 1t. How often we
hear "So-and-So Is such a comfortable.
restful sort of person; everything she
undertakes is success"
Why? Because, without sinking any
Of her own individuality, she has the
knack Of adapting herself to every
body she meets. A beautiful woman
shines in any place. If the back
ground Is lovely, too, she harmonizes
with It; If ugly, 1t acts as foil.
So 1t is with tact. Fairy tales are
thing of the past, but this one magic
quality is still left to us. --'

Post, Are Captured Cannon.

Before the stately mansion Of Lord
Falmouth, across from Washington
inn, the rest hut and club in st.
James square, in London, stand five
green posts. They are made Of iron
cannon. and are said to have been cap
tured from the French off Cape Finis-
terre when an ancestor Of the present
Lord Falmouth, Admiral Boscawen,
was fighting with Anson's fleet. The
mansion is now to be sold, says the
Christian Science Monitor, but Lord
Falmouth Is reserving the right to re-
move the five cannon In front OF the
house and the two front door knock
ers. The cannon are memorial Of an
age that Is past, and reminder that
the Boscawens occupied this house in
1854, or whereabouts, when George II.
was king of England.

Whales Not Deep Divers.

/, Although 1t Is common BELIEF
among sailors that whales, when they
sssOund," descend to enormous depths
in the ocean, and, although 1t has been
estimated that the larger whales COM
monty dive to depth Of almost two
thirds of a mile, yet a member OF an
antarctic expedition challenges these
statements and AYERS that about 3OO
feet is the maximum depth tc which
whale can dive, says the sun and New
York Herald. ne bases his statement
partly on the fact that the fish on
which they feed and to obtain which
they are accustomed to sound, dwell
near the surface. and partly on the
fact that at the depth Of 1000 yards
or more the pressure is so great that
they could not withstand 1t, and that
their muscular strength Is not SUM-
Client to propeI them into the regions
where 1t prevails.

Ravaues Of Influenza,

A decided relation between epidemic
influenza and tuberculosis has been
traced at the Ohio State sanitarium.
OF SIS tuberculosis patients admitted
since 1919, as many as 249, or 40 per
cent, attributed their tuberculosis
symptoms to influenza, and 81 per cent
of these had not been known to have
such symptoms prior to the Influenza
epidemic Of the last three months of
1918. In 33 per cent Of the cases, ear
lier tuberculous tendencies were re-
vived. A curious feature of 40 per
cent of these so-caIled reactivated
cases was that tuberculosis was not at
first recognized or suspected, but for
an average period Of five months, in
which many patients returned to work,
the symptoms were mild and apparent
ly temporary. Other reports show a
similar proportion Of tuberculous pa
tients among 1acent sufferers from in
fiueuZa
