Record Of Sunshine.

J. y. Kincer OF the weather bureau
has just published In the Monthly
Weather Review n valuable analysis OF
the available sunshine records OF this
country. He presents charts and
graphs showing for all parts Of the
United States the mea jolar time Of
sunrise and sunset, the average length
Of the day, sunrise to sunset, for differ
ent seasons OF the year; the average
for each month In the year, OF the daily
amounts OF sunshine, In hours the sea-
sonal and annual amounts In percent
age of the maximum possible; the
yearly percentage of clear, partly
cloudy and cloudy days. Data OF this
character is comparatively scarce, for
the reason that the instruments re-
qulred to make these records are very
delicate and require expert attention,
A great deal OF meteorological observa-
ton work is done by amateurs or vol
uDteers who IN not equipped with the
necessary apparatus for accurately re
cordlng the periods Of sunshine.

Trading along the west Mexican

The vessel has been sold to Jose
Delallave, a Mazatlan ship operator.
by the United States government for
a few thousand Mexican dollars. Del
sllave has renamed the Marblehead
the Aqua Prieta.
Thus passes the old 'pepperbo1,"

Tie announcement OF coast guard
authorities that the L. s. G. G.. cutter
Bear probably never will sail into the
North again marks n sharp turn in
the history Of one Of the most famous

After more than two-score years OF
battling with ice foes and arctic gales,

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS


THERE is perhaps no surer way Of
and the opportunities OF woman have
b~roadened in the last very few years
than to study the women's magazines.
The business woman Is carefully
considered today In these publications.
Tier trimming, her chances OF success,
new fields where she may try for posi-
lions; these are exploited. There are
articles on subjects that would never
have been touched upon five or six
years ago, or even two or three years
ago.
Finance Is another department that
has shown tremendous development In
such magazines. Women are learning
to manage their own funds. and when
the women's colleges run successful
campaigns for great sums, as they do
sums. the day when woman was not
supposed to understand the money
market is indeed gone.
Naturally the coming of the vote to
women has brought a lot OF political
material Into these pages. The work
women can do In politics. her respon-
sililties, clear expositions OF what the
different political parties stand for,
these are some OF tic directions In
which expansion Is shown. Women
wnnt to know n whole lot OF things
that they did not, as n class, care
about only n short time ago. And what
women want, they get.
There Is hardly n limit TO what the
well-tralned, clever, ambitious girls
may expect Of life in the way OF serv-
Ice. interesting work. n good income,
independence, influence on the future
of her country. and a full home life.
1t Is truly, today, up to her.

every evening after the theater was

Refreshing the Plains.

In the state OF Nebraska there are
twenty thousand square miles Of coun-
try hat is absolutely treeless. The
soil is nothing but sand on which no
plant grows except a long grass that
Is good for grazing.
Anclently. perhaps eve million
years ago, the area In question was
part of the floor OF q sea. Hence, of
course, the sand. But within compara-
lively recent times the region must
have been forested, for here and there
are discovered stumps of trees as
much as two feet In diameter.
Discovery OF these old stumps led
the United States forest service 10 be-
lieve thar trees might be made to
grow there again. Accordingly. the
experiment was begun about eighteen
years ago, and, as a result, about five
thousand acres OF young forest have
been successfully established. Some
OF the trees today r as much as
twenty-five feet high.
The trees planted In this area are
all Of them of c%oniferous varieties
jack pine. Norway pine and yellow
pine. At Halsey. Neb, is maintained
n nursery, which produces two million
of these little trees each year.
For planting them, n novel method
is adopted. Instead of setting each
little tree in a hole by itself, a pillow
Is run along through the sand. and
the baby rec are planted in a row
In the furrow.

perience with boulllon cubes should
make us wise. Cook until the mixture
thickens and add one pint Of sweet
corn put through a colander. Let the
whole boil up once and serve With
croutOns.
Green Cheese.-Take two ounces of
fresh parsley, one ounce of fresh water

II has lost its color. Chop the cress
and celery. add the crumbled parsley
and mix with four ounces of fresh
green cheese. Season with cayenne
and salt. and put through a colander.
Form into small cheeses TO pass with

Decorate with sliced. stuffed olives.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"RENIG"

Used by whist and euchre
~ players to signify a revoke
or failure to play a card OF the
suit called for. the word "ren.g'
Is properly spelled i"renege"
and Is the Old English verb
meaning to refuse, renounce or
deny. 1t probably crept into
whist from the older game OF
"~spoil-fve" which. with its
variations Of twenty-five" and
"forty-five" Is stili played In
the British army and In many
parts OF Ireland. In this game
the player is permitted to renig
Tor TO deny the suit) when hold
ing certain cards. Here the
word retains Its original mean
ing. though Its synonym ire
woke" is not so easy to trace.
The word "renege" is twice
used by Shakespeare, once in
Anthony and Cleopatra" and
once In king Lear" and is oc-
cnsionally found In the works
of other writers OF the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth centuries.
Chaucer uses the form reneys,
evidently from the French re
nier which. In turn. is derived
from the Latin %renegare, the
root.word OF renegade" and
other English derivatives.

LIFE.


MAN, thrust upon the world, awakes
lVl from sleep.
Knowing not whence he came moi
how nor why.
His earliest impulse is an infant cry,
His final privilege is that to weep.
A combatnnt although he sought no
strife.
A CUES, unwelcome come unwilling
ly.
Given his vision that he may not
see,
lie names this unnamed paradox his
life.
He learns to walk the forest and to
Its green and brown. Its song and
seasons change,
Yet will not taste a berry that Is
strange
Or tread a pathway that he knows
mo- Of.
Skeptic and doubter Of the fow'r and
tree,
He questions this and that lnvesti-
gates
Yet drinks the beaker offered by the
fates
And leaves unsolved the greater mys,
terry.
