WHY SOME DYES ARE "FAST"
Vegetable and Animal Compounds Su-
perior to Any Products Of the
Chemists Laboratory.

Some dyes are FAST" others fade
either when the goods are washed or
when they are exposed to the sunlight.
The fastness or otherwise Of a color
depends upon the arrangement Of the
atoms that make up its molecules: If
these be closely interviewer, neither
light nor water can separate them;
but if they are loosely Joined together
light and water make them disinte-
crate. Most of our modern dyes r
derived from coal tar and consist Of
atoms Of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
and other elements. The vegetable
dyes usually contain no other elements
bnt carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
That is why, being so simple, such
colors as logwood and natural indigo
are the fastest Of all. The few ami
NAL dyes-cochineal, for example
are fast for the same reason. But
the so-called anilin dyes are the prod
uct of the chemists laboratory and
are complex and loosely bound COM
binations of the atoms Of many ele-
ments. There are acid dyes and al
kaline dyes, and before applying them
to any stuff one must know whether
the cells Of this are acid or alkaline
in reaction. For opposites attract,
likes repel. Therefore we must use
acid dyes for alkaline materials n
alkaline dyes for acid materials.

INDIAN BOY IS REAL
TARTAN OF THE APES
sts'an and Reared by Leopard,
Boy Has All Characteris-
tics of Wild Animal.

The fantastic stories of Rudyard
Kiplfng's Mowgli and of Tarzan of the
Apes have found a parallel in real
life in the case of q North India hill
baby stolen and reared by a leopard,
according to the Calcutta correspond
ent of the London Morning Post.
Stuart Baker, when in the village Of
Dhungi, in the Cachar hills, in India's
northeastern frontier, was confronted
in the local courthouse with protests
from a certain native that he was I'M
able to do his share of local road
mendfng, because if he left home his
little wild son would run away to the
jungle.
MI. Baker visited the mans hut to
see the wild child" and found there
a boy about seven, naked, who an
about on all tours like a small animal.
At the sight Of the stranger the child
shifted about him and ended by bolt
ing on all tours to his father, backing
between his legs like an animal enter
ing a burrow. The child vas almost
blind, suffering from cataracts, and his
bead was covered with tiny scars and
scratches.
The fathers story is that when the
boy was two years old a female Loop
ard had come upon the child and moth
er in a rice field, snatched the baby
from the mother and bounded away
into the jungle. A search was insti-
tuted, but no trace of the child could
be found. Three years later sports
men tracked a leopard to her lair and
killed her. There they captured two
cubs and the child, who had apparent
ly been reared with the leopard's lit
ter. The parents identified the child
and their claim was admitted by the
whole village.
When first caught the child bit and
fought with everyone who came near
him and seized any village fowls
that he could capture, %devouring them
savagely. He. ran about on all tours
with extraordinary rapidity, and his
knees had hard c%allouses on them,
while his toes remained upright, al
most at right angles to the instep.
Later he learned TO eat cooked food,
consented to sleep in his fathers hut,
and seemed to know the villagers by
ems of smell.
Mr.. Baker has contributed a detailed
story of the case to the Journal Of
the Bombay Natural History society.

Business women by day and society
leaders by night is the dual role being
played by several prominent members
Of New York society. Some have en-
tered the business world because of
shrinking family fortunes-others,
having been active in war work, are
loath to go back to the life of the
social butterfly. The most recent ad-
dition to the society business women
ranks, is Mrs. Charles DeLoosey Del
richs who has taken charge of the sale
IF perfumes for a New York import
Ing company. Miss Elizabeth Mar
bury and Miss Elsie DeWolfe have
long been business women Miss Mar
bury is a play broker and dabbIes in
politics. Miss DeWolfe is well known
as an interior decorator. And appar-
entity all are as successful in the bust
aess world as they are in the social
world, for not one of the enterprises
they have engaged in, has been a
failure.

uOunQ TO STauC In
dependence without further delay.
Congressman King is one Of an in
creasing number of Republicans in the
House who r urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author Of a bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
tic and frame a constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation"
The transfer Of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American In
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
submarine bases in the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed if they
do not get it.
nc nation has the right" said Con-
gresham King ito hold another people
In peonage, even though it may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition is simply one of 'tutelage.'
"a little more observance of the
golden rule in national and interna-
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the ~fiercest foe
Of freedom in the world today.
when we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire of conquest or territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but solely by humani-
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was In
directly a tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:
I'm my opinion these people Gill
pinos) r superior in intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives Of Cuba, and I am familiar
with BOTH"
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20, 1915, and declared it was a
definite pledge Of independence. The
preamble stated ut is as it has always
been the purpose of the people Of
the United States to withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as a stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
eminent and, therefore, it is the
solemn duty of the United States to
grant the promised independence.

CIVIC ORDINANCE IN JAPAN
All Houses Have Tablet Telling Name
of the Responsible Dwelier
Within the Walls.

In Japan you can learn a good many
things about the resident of a house
merely by looking at his door. Ac-
cording to police regulations, says a
writer in Chambers Journal the en-
trance to every residence must have a
small wooden tablet affixed to it. This
tablet has the name and the number OF
the house on it, and on another tablet
is the name Of the responsible house
holder, who in many cases is an in
FAINT, a younger brother of a relative.
Sometimes, though rarely, the names
of other inmates are placed over the
door, but there is no police regulation
that requires it, except in the case Of
boarding houses, which have to place
their boarders' names outside for all
to see. A person fortunate. enough to
possess a telephone always has the
number proudly displayed over his en-
trance. Near it you will often see a
quaint enameled or tin disk. That is
the fire insurance mark. Every fire
insurance company has its own special
metal plate, which it nails to the Intel
when it insures a house.
There are always several small
pieces Of paper pasted over the door,
placed there by the police. One is to
certify that the periodical oshoji, or
great cleaning, has taken place. An
other paper tells US, perhaps, that the
sanitary conditions are satisfactory.
What others stand for is known only
to the police themselves; that they
give secret information about the in
mates is certain.
Formerly it was the rue that, If
there was a well upon the premises,
the fact had to be proclaimed by a
square board marked with the charac-
ter for well-ido. This was to show
where people could obtain water in
case of fire in the neighborhood. The
regulation may still be in force in
country places, but owing to water now
being piped, it is no longer enforced
in the cities.

HELPED PAY AMERICAS DEBT
How Mrs. Monroe Was Instrumental
in Saving the Life of Madame
Lafayette.

An interesting sidelight on history
lies In the story of how the wife Of
James Monroe, fifth President, saved
the life of Madame Lafayette at the
time Monroe was American ambassa-
dor to France. Lafayette himself was
in prison in Germany, and kept in a
foul dungeon. Nine. Lafayette had
been seized by the Revolutionists, and
was confined in the prison of La Force,
and a date had been set for her execu-
ton. The Monroes were very much
alive to the great debt America owed
the young aristocrat, and Mrs. Monroe
determined to do what she could.
She ordered the state coach Of the
embassy, with it's flaring coat Of arms,
to deliver her to the doors of the
prison of La Force, and once there,
calmly requested an interview with the
unfortunate prisoner. An interview
with a person sentenced to the knife
was unheard of, but the dawning
power Of the United States was such
that the officials dared not refuse the
request of the ambassadors wife. A
few words were exchanged between
the women. and Mrs. Monroe drove
away. The next morning she was
liberated, the French Revolutionists
fearing to execute her, and desiring
thus to secure the friendly attention
of the new nation. 1t was a daring
thing to do, for the results might have
been disastrous and all sorts of in
ternational complications might have
arisen.

In a speech which was given yery
close attention and was frequently ap-
plauded.
al n time," said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before it no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations Of the
Irish people, If not actually urging Eng
a n to grant independence to Ireland.
At that time, also the Filipinos were
knocking at your door. Out of the
womb Of war, many European repub-
lies were born, and America has re-
jofced to uphold the same. And yet
the claim of the Filipinos is still un-
needed. Must there be exceptions,
then, in international justice?
my plea, gentlemen Of the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests of a de-
serving people for an independence
that r%ightfully belongs to them. The
granting of independence now affords
the United States a golden opportunity
to give to the world unanswerable
proof Of its, sincerity, its consistency
and its altruism., 1t will be the great
est example of square dealing in the
history Of the ages.
DO not think we are not appre-
ciative of all you have done for us.
We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race in all
history. The high points Of the Amer.
lean policy in the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruism.
We know that you were actuated in
your labors by the desire to contrib
ute to our own welfare.
And we love you perhaps most of
all, for your solemn promise to grant
US that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. independence Is
our national ideal. It is our all alb
sorbfng aim. It grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit of nationalism
never dies. Much less can it be sub
dued. We believe that we can never
hope to be a sturdy nation If we are
to rely forever on the magnanimity Of
the United States.
Americas task in the Philippine
Islands is finished. What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation In
that part of the world has been full
filed. A people with a medieval sys-
ten Of institutions has been trans
formed into a conscious nation, i'm
bued with air that is modern in the
activities of nations. And If you give
us independence our gratitude to you
will increase a thousand fold; it will
last forever If you keep faith with us.
There is but one issue in the Phil
ippine question, and that is: Is there
today a stable government on the Is.
lands? In the Jones law you promised
independence upon the establishment
Of such a stable government. Your
own Governor-Genera has officially.
reported that there is a stable gov
eminent in existence today, and we
also have submitted plenty of evidence
to s~ubstantiate it's existence. There
fore, we hope and expect America will
now, carry out its pledge"

ing OF Mdraudln9 IN POULTRY Yard.
Agriculture. However, some people
look on this cry as an argument in the
guinea's favor, as it gives warning of
marauders in the poultry yard. SINH
1arly, their p%ugnacious disposition
while sometimes causing disturbances
among the other poultry also makes
them show fight against hawks and
other common enemies, so that guineas
sometimes are kept as guards over the,
poultry yard. Often a few. guineas are
raised with a flock Of turkeys and al
lowed to roost in the same tree, where
they can give warning if any theft Is
attempted during the night.
Used as Substitute.
The value Of the guinea fowl as a
substituted for game birds such as
grouse, partridge, quail and pheasant
is becoming more and more recognized
by those who are fond Of this class of
meat and the demand for these fowls
is increasing steadily. Many hotels
and restaurants in the large cities are
eager to- cur prime young guineas,
and often they are served at .banquets
and club dinners as a special delicacy.
When well cooked, guineas are attrac.
tive in appearance, although darker
than common fowls; and the flesh Of
young birds is tender and Of especial
" fine flavor, resembling that of wild
game. Like all other fowl, old guineas
are very likely to be tough and rather
dry.
