many's astonishing recovery in foreign
trade demonstrates the German peo-
pie can pay the just penalty which has
been imposed upon them.
Without any publicity, the Germans
have been quietly developing their
overseas commerce since the armistice
so successfully that they are aspiring
to new high records for foreign IN
dustriaI conquest. During the first
five months of last year Germany ex-
ported more than twenty-three bill
lion marks worth of goods, which is
nearly two and one-half times as
much as her exports for the entire
year of 1919.
Trade Wac. Now On.
German manufactures of all kinds
are being sent to almost every part of
the world British working men are
protesting against German rivalry
even in British home markets. There
is mulch alarm in Holland and Scan
dinavia at the influx of German goods.
German machinery, cutlery, toys,
musical instruments, chemicals and
other goods are being forced in large
quantities into South America
German shipyards are working at

COULD NOT RELY ON SUNDlAL
Garden "cIocks" Were Always More
of an Ornament Than Kept fcy
Any Practical Use.

The sundial became a popular gar
den ornament in the sunny parts of
Europe in the Fifteenth century
There were older time recorders.
There were hour-glasses, candles
that marked the time by their burn
ing. Lamps that indicated the hours
by the amount Of oil consumed. and
the water clock, which was the most
reliable Of all these time-recordina
devices. When the sundials came into
vogue they were bought by rich men
who could we'll afford to have a clock,
the cost Of which was less than the
cost of an ornamental sundial. The
peasant who could not afford a clock
did not need a sundial because he
could tell time, or nearly tell the
time by looking at the sun, or by the
slant of his own shadow.
The south of Europe fashion Of the
sundial spread to England with the
fashion of the formal or Italian gar
den, and when English, Irish and
Scotch gentry fed to the colonies, or
simply emigrated to the colonies, they
took with them the idea that a gar
den was not a garden without a sun
dial, any more than it could be
a garden without a box hedge, a bor-
der Of jonquils, some arbor vitae trees,
gravel walk and a rustic bench.
In the older settlement portions OF
Maryland and Virginia and including
the District Of Columbia it is not I'M
usual to find these sundials, or the
"stump" or base on which the dial
rested, in the gardens of old homes.
Yet it is a fair assumption that on
every place where there was sun
dial a clock run by wheels and
weights licked away in the manor
house, or in the mansion house, and
that every land owner who could af-
ford to have a sundial in his garden
carried a gold watch or silver watch
in the fob pocket Of his small
clothes"

PLANTS GUARDED BY NATURE
AS Mnfants," the SapIings Are by No
Means DefenseIess Against In
Jury From Fire.

Young long-leaf plants protect them
selves against forest fires in a most
interesting and remarkable way. For
four or five years the stems OF the
infant trees attain height of only
as many inches above the soil. Dur
ing this time their bark is eXtraordl-
narily thick, and that alone gives some
protection. But in addition the long
needles spring up above the stem, and
then bend over on all sides in green
cascade which falls to the ground in
a circle about the Seeding.
This green barrier can, with dIf11-
Guilty, be made to burn, while the
shade that it casts prevents intiamma-
Bile grass from growing near the pro-
tected stem.
It is thought that it is owing to
this peculiar system Of self-protec-
ton which the pine seedlings have
developed that the growth of the ever
green oaks in Florida has been re-
stricted in regions where fires have
ragged, while pure pine forests have
taken their place.

Fund Conditions i'm State.

At the rate money is now being
drawn out of the state treasury, the
pinch of the shortage, that is the diff
ference between the appropriations
made by the Legislature and the pro-
vision made for funds to meet these
appropriations, will be felt before
the end of the present fiscal year. In
many cases the appropriations made
being for the biennium, the funds for
the second year are available and
can be drawn upon. The way the
money is being paid out and all
legitimately, and in accordance with
the, terms of the appropriation can
be seen in the highway commissions

Not long ago a number of masons

Americans Have Prettiest Feet.

What country possesses women WITH
the largest feet? This question arose
from an inspection of women's feet
in Bond street during the busiest hour
Of the morning Women of many ma
tionalities passed, displaying under
standings that varied considerably
in shape and size.
Dutch and German women have
the biggest feet in the world" said
Robert Wortley, court chiropodist.
British women have the longest
feet, but they are narrow; Japanese
women have the smallest feet OF all,
and Americans the most beautiful,
because they are we'll cared for from
youth.
After the American foot | award
the beauty honor to the French wom-
an, whose foot is triumph of grace,
while dancing has given special at
traction to the Spanish feminine
foot."-London Daily Express.

Made Veil in Institution,

The women of Persia-like the
Mohammedan women of every other
country-go about their duties when
called into the streets with wells
which hide their faces from the eyes
of passersby. Tradition tells us that
one day when Mohammed was with
his favorite wife, Ayesha, who was
unveiled, as all woman then were, a
stranger happened to see her lovely
face, became enamored of her, and
offered to buy her at the price Of one
camel. 1t is said this so angered
Mohammed that the prophet decreed
that women, thereafter. should wear
wells to hide their faces from the
gaze of other men.

The solution is supplied in a form
easily applicable to the new born in

The following remarkable endorse
inent of Tanlac was given recently by
Mrs. Alice Gresham Dodd, at the
Gresham Memorial Home, Gavin Park,
Evansville. Ind. which home was pre-
scented to her by the patriotic people
of Indiana, as evidence of their appre-
citation Of the services rendered to his
country by her son, Corporal james
b. Gresham, the first American soldier
killed in France. Expressions of SYM
pathy were received by Mrs. Dodd
from all parts of the United States,
and the newspapers of the country
carried the story of the first "war
mother"
The shock of her sons death re-
suited in the serious breakdown of
Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone will
learn with interest and pleasure that
she Is now In splendid health again.
When seen at her home recently she
made the following statement, giving
the entire credit for her recovery to
the well-known medicine. Tanlac.
AFTER my dear boys death I had
a general breakdown In health" said
Mrs. Dodd. AT first it was just in
digestion. My food used to upset me
and I had to diet myself very care
fully. which wasn't much hardship.
as 1 lost all desire to eat. Then / had
an attack of rheumatism, with severe
pains in my shoulders, back and arms.
Sometimes I used to suffer u great
deal. and my joints would get all
swollen up and stiff. I was able to do
very little about the house, and at
times couldn't even cook a meal. 1
got very nervous and restless, and at
night would lay awake for hours, and
lost many a nights sleep as a conse-
quence.
"A friend of mine had received a
great deal Of help from Tanlac, and
It was she who advised me to try 1t.
I I'M so glad I did for 1t proved the
best medicine I have ever taken. 1t
soon gave me a good appetite and
seemed to settle my stomach SO that
I was no longer troubled with indiges-
ton. I don't know what 1t is to have
rheumatic pains now, the swelling and
stiffness has all gone out of my
joints and I am able to do the work
of the house with the greatest ease.
My nerves are now steady and strong.
I sleep fine at night, and 1 feel better
in health than ever before In my life.
1 shall always be grateful for what
Tanlac has lone for me. and shall
recommend 1t every chance I get"

HIMALAYAs IN SECOND PLACE
Exploration In Tibet Have Revealed
Existence of a More Massive
Mountain Range.

Among the greatest results achieved
by the Hedin explorations in Tibet
was the discovery of a continuous
mountain chain. 1000 miles long.
stretching east and west, and which,
taken as a whole. is the most massive
range on the crust of the earth. Its
average height above lei level Is
greater than that of the Himalayas,
and although its peaks are from 1000
to 5000 feet lower than Mount Ever
est, its passes average 5000 feet high
er than those of the Himalayas.
The eastern and western parts of
this range were known before, but the
central and highest part. in Bongba.
was unexplored previous to Doctor
Hedin's visit. He crossed ten passes
