SAYS LITTLE BUT DOES MUCH
Clerk Of British House Of Commons
ls a Silent Though Highly
important Official.

The clerk Of the British house of
commons is appointed by the prime
minister with salary of $1,000
year. This is much bigger salary
than he received in the Eighteenth
century. In those days he lived chief
ly on fees and presents from members
Of parliament
The clerk sits at the upper end OF
die table Of the house, and wears a
wig and gown, He has the custody Of
records, signs certain addresses and
orders, and reads various documents
in the house. He controls the star Of
the house, and is responsible for many
details In the management of bust
ness.
In addition, he is the speakers
principal adviser, and that is why even
now speakers seldom make mistakes.
He is the great authority on proce-
dure and on all the complicated rules
Of the house.
This official is usually silent and
unobtruslve. The exception occurs
when new speaker is elected.
His position has been described as
"the highest and most important Of
f,ial post in the house, and one Of
The most respected in the civil service;
Its occupancy has long been a person
al distinction and the recognition of
eminent capacity"

BANK ACCOUNT FOR BABY
Recommended as the Surest Founda-
tlon That Can Be Laid for
Happy Future.

What are you doing for your baby's
future happiness?
Have you thought Of opening bank
account for your baby?
These are questions that should be
given thought by every parent, writes
Cecilia Anthony in Thrift Magazine.
Many newly born babes are pre-
sented with gifts In the form Of money.
Why not start an account for the baby
with this money and watch 1t grow
by making regular weekly contribu-
lions, instead Of using the money to
buy clothes or some other articlesH
The weekly deposit Of 81 at A per
cent interest for ten years will amount
to $03S.04; In fifteen years, $1,075.75,
and In twenty years, $1,001.86. II a
deposit Of SO is made regularly every
week for ten years the child will have
In Its favor the sum Of S1,914; In If
teen years the amount will be $3,227.25
and in twenty years $6.378.75.
OF course, as the child grows older
he or she will save the pennies, nickels
and dimes, and help toward the regular
weekly deposit, which will lessen the
drain on the parents pocketbook. In
time to come the child will be the sole
depOsltOr.

SEEKS NEW PAPER MATERIAL
Imperial Institute Of Great Britain
Makes Experiments With All
Sorts Of Growing Things.

At intervals some forestry statlsti-
clan confronts us with the number Of
acres Of forest land that are cut over
each week that the youth of America
may be delighted with the comic sup
plements Of the Sunday newspapers.
Just as we are vislonlng broad
United States looking as II It had been
trimmed by safety razor, we are
confronted by some figures showing
how much paper can be made from the
Alaskan forests without permanent
sacrifice If only proper methods are
followed.
Meanwhile the search for new raw
materials for paper making goes on,
says the Nations Business. The I'm
perlal institute of Great Britain is
struggling with trees and grasses
from India and Africa with more or
less success. A recent publication
lists more than 80 plants on which
experiments have been made In the
Inst eight years. Rice straw and
husks, linseed stalks, sunhOwer stems,
these are familiar sounding and bao-
bab and bamboo are not entirely
novel, but what shall we make Of
mugugybOya bark or tnmbOOkle grass?
Not much out of mugugyb0yn, but Of
tambOOkie we are told that ut Is
well adapted for paper making and
IN normal times the crude material
would probably be worth about $50
a ton In the United Kingdom.

may yet wrap our green tea grown In
China In paper made from grass grown

During her cousins absence, which
was longer than she had anticipated,
Jane alternated between signs Of re-
lief and spasms of dread. What would
Dick say7 How would he take it?
Would he-men did do such things

When Priscilla returned her eyes
held an odd expression altogether UNI
fathomable. "Jane-I--I fully intended
to do as you asked--but, well, 1t seems
that Dick-oh, hang it, Jane, read for

envelope, then folded her hands and

For moment there was silence
silence so deep that the discordant
ticking of two gift clocks in distant
room was distinctly audible.
Then Jane flew to the telephone.
"You. DickP Well, listen You can't

Jane turned to her cousin. Don't

After the ceremony the following
day Dick managed a word with the
maid of honor. "You sure were

me wise how to deal with Jane yes

excitement, but"
"Of course" agreed Priscilla, "only

In the limousine that bore them

that, In 80 far as such a thing was

Dick had come, had seen, and after
a conservative delay all the more pro-

the hour when Jane whispered a pro-
perry hesltant "yes"-and now, In the
near future, nearer than she had
dreamed, tlnkled the wedding bells.
Then, about the ears Of those con-
cerned, on the very day before the
wedding, the universe all but tumbled.
Jane, her nerves worn to an edge by
crowded days Of preparation for an
event which would occupy at most
brief hour or so, went suddenly to
pieces.

Trade Routes Through Lhasa.


By the trade routes that pass
through Lhasa, caravans Of sheep,
mules, ponies or yaks, laden with
wool, hides, cloth, tea-bricks or salt,
come and go, arriving generally In
December and departing In March be-
fore the spring floods. Better cara
van animals then these hardy mules
and the small, tough, shaggy horses
that also serve as beasts Of burden
are the yaks. For they can live, II
need be, on coarse, stiff pasture, they
carry heavy loads, are sure-footed on
frozen surfaces and seem not to mind
the cold, even when lclcles cling to
their long black coats and bushy
white tails. Then, too, yaks arc
blessed with horns, on which especial
ly devout Tibetans cut the sacred
"Om" formula. As another precau-
ton against attack, the caravan Is
provided with prayer-wheels and ac-
companled by nomad dogs. But the
owners Of the mastiffs are not I'M
friendly to stranger Of good intent.
When they meet one, they pull Off
their caps, push forward their left
ears, put out their tongues and bow
politely.-Marietta Neff, In Asia Mag
