 Commenting on thunder storms and the safeguarding of property and life from Tightening. the major gave valuable fn- formation and paid tribute to the knowledge of our forebears which im- pelled them to- seek safety in feather beds when the storm was at its height What is the best protection for build inEs in a storm?' I asked. Frightening rods" replied he without moments hes itation. The major then went on to say that rodded building, even though the rods might not be in perfect order was far less liable to damage by Tightening than an unrodded building. A well rod ded building is practically free from danger. As proof of thi statement statis- tics were shown where out of 525 cases of buildings reported to have been struck by Tightening only three were mention ed as having been equipped with rods. In cities the danger is much less than in isolated buildings. "A broken rod is much better than no rod at all," was the answ- CT to one of my questions Incidents were cited where great trees have been protected by rodding in order that their beauty might never be marred by light ening.. Here are a few of tine safety facts for personal protection during storms, as given by the weather expert
 
 your grandmother's feather bed" said the weather bureau man, who said he had no fear of storms and watched them closely, counting the seconds between the flash and the thunder SD as to estimate the distance But he was quite willing to talk about safety devices for others He even agreed that the woman who puts on her rubbers, wraps herself in silk, o1 insulates her chair with glass cups is following a line of scientific precaution It is rubber gloves that the linemen use when handling wires; # Is glass insula- tors that are used by telegraph com panies; 1t is silk and g1tta percha that come in for their share of use as insu- lators. Nearby high trees and slated l roofs are regarded as a protection to un l rodded houses. Sometimes huge quanti ! ties of high explosives are protected b. an Outstanding wire cage, which servei I to cary off any discharge. Here in Wash l ington the monument and capitol dom are protected and though they have beel

 While no woman is entirely free from periodic suffering it does not seem to be the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely and when pain exists something is wrong which should be set right. Every girl who suffers from monthly cramps should give Lydia E, Pinkham's vege- table Compound fair trial.

.ETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mir. Editor: Doesn't it seem about time that something was done towards mak- ing our city streets more safe for ehil- dren, or must we sit idly by and wait until another child is killed and an- other family filled with dumb despair We have signs at the entrances to the ciyt which. caution the motorist to slow down to six miles per hour, but this speed is exceeded every day. What the city should do is to mount a cop on a motorcycle and give him orders to ar- rest every offender of the automobile laws and then give them a stiff fine. Then maybe we wouldn't have to say Ut was too bad" so often.

Stories That Recall Others
Maid Wished Use of Car.

A woman who is visiting her daugh- ter tells of trouble another daughter who lives in another city had in keeping a maid.
 The maid came and stayed a short time, then decided she would leave. When asked for the reason she said that the work kept her employed too much of the time. At the last place of employ ment she said she had a great deal of leisure time, and that she often had permission to use the family car, not to mention going riding with the family. She didn't explain how she came to leave

Monument and Fountain.

MT Editor: As a citizen of Norwich wish to express my views regarding the way the people have honored the world war veterans, and the men who gave their lives for their country. What has the city done in memory of these men? It has nailed up a few blanks in front of the city hall and painted their names on them for the sun and rain to wash off. Why doesn't the city erect a monument in Union or Franklin square for the hon ored dead, with a drinking fountain at it's base?
 What has the chamber of commerce done toward 1t? In regard to tH great White Way you don't need that: There are no high buildings to require it. Put the money into substantial monument and a drinking fountain.

CHRYS' VEIL IS FOUND .Iane,s Book-Chapter 18

If Chrys were actually lost in the tangle of caverns and sub-cellars, beneath Certeis' garden beds, she might as well have been buried alive
 ''The openings into the rooms are all so hard to find" I chattered.
 Put that loot back into its gravel Daddy spoke to Spence who was pom dering above the box in his arms. Let 'em stay buried forever! Now, Jane! Find her!'
 "We'll get her out of here in five minutes, Daddy, dear." Trying to comfort him, I tried to reassure my self. I failed. I realized, that man, lurking in the place might have gagged her, had she fingered behind us.
 Chrys had been silent Throughout the expedition. She had been pre- occupied with her own thoughts Why not, since she was at least in name the wife of the spy whose per fidy we had uncovered? Why not since Jordan Spence was In our party? We retraced our steps, going rapidly from the room of the machine euns to the room of the bombs, slip ping sideways through passage too narrow for the width of the human body. descending steep steps into the sub-cellars. All the rooms were open as we had found and left them Chrys was not to be found. We walked softly-at last we gathered, once
 more. in the wine vault. And nobody dared to suggest that our search hao proved futile.

 I meditated. In wartime, when Bob was with the A. E. F., l had worked as Certeis' secretary.

THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
 
BY JEAN NEWTON

the tenth telling of the same old story, and instead of odes to her beauty he would compose epics to his pains. She would probably wait on him-this old mans darling, and, in stead of glorious sweetheart, he would call her a good little girl.
 When a girl thinks of becoming an old mans darling you will find, nine times out of ten, that he is a rich old man. Conscious of it or not, there is a lure in the knowledge that there would not be the struggle for the worldly things that she would be called upon to share with a younger man. The prospect of life of luxury no doubt plays a part. And in what she seeks here to avoid she would miss one of the best things in life. For it is true that the fight at a mans side. knowing and sharing his work and his dreams and helping him to attain them, is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable of their ties
 Marriage brings happiness only when it means comradeship. common hopes and ideals, fifty-fifty part nership-not a bartering of youth to fire the fading eyes of old age for an indolent, parasitical existence

CONFESS MILK A REALITY

Boston-An absolutely pure COW less" milk or in other words, a sym thetic milk is being made here.
 It can be made by anyone at home for few cents quart, according to pr. Earl B. Carr of the New England sanitarium at Melrose, who an- nounces the discovery. This synthetic milk is made of the following ingre- dients: Ordinary oats: ordinary pea nuts; pure water; dash of salt
 pr. Carr and Dr. G. F. Cornforth, food expert and dietist at the institu- ton, demonstrated how the cowless milk Is made. It took them about i've minutes to produce a quantity.
 They used a little machine not un- like sausage grinder. A handful or raw peanuts was dropped in and ground to pulpy mass. Next. a quantity of steel cut oats was run through the grinder, coming out fine white powder. This was mixed with the peanut pulp and the whole was wrapped in cheesecloth, and placed Tn bowl. Over this were poured a few cupfuls of water.
 The mixture in the cloth was kneaded under the water, which thickened and turned white. The "cowless" milk had been made.-Chi- cago Tribune

Little Stories For Bedtime
 BY THORNTON BURGESS
THE LITTLE CHUCK WHO DIDN'T
 MIND
BY THORNTON w. BI
DO it when you're told to; Do it right away. Don't stop to talk about 1t; Hurry to obey.'

Johnny sChuck's three baby Chucks had to say that over three times every morning before they left the snug house under the apple tree in the far corner of Farmer Browns old orchard That was so that they sure ly would remember it in time of need. Now .one of those baby Chucks was a wee, wee bit bigger and wee, wee bit stronger, and a wee, wee bit smarter than the others. After a while he found it out. It was a bad thing. Yes, sir, 1t was a badthing for that little Chuck to find out that he was a wee, wee bit bigger. and a wee, eve bit stronger, and a wee, wee lit smarter than the others. You see, he was like a lot of other people; he began to think he hadn't anything to learn.
 Of course he had to say that little verse with the rest of them, but he had begun to think that he knew all that there was to know. and that that little verse was meant for the others and not for him. So he began to do as he pleased. He was smart enough to find out that a lot of the danger signals which Johnny Chuck gave out were not for any real danger at all, but just meant for lessons. So sometimes this little Chuck took his time about obeying. When the signal to run was sounded, he would wait for just one or two more bites of sweet, tender young clover. So he would be the last to reach the safety of the snug house under the apple tree. Of course, Johnny Chuck scolded him, but he didn't mind a scolding now and then so long as he had his own way.
 Some day you'll get in trouble by not minding promptly and something dreadful will happen to you" scolded Johnny Chuck.
 But this little Chuck, who thought himself so smart, just kept right on doing as he pleased. Pretty soon he began to actually disobey. He went a little bit further than Johnny Chuck said he should go. He didn't stay with the others when Johnny Chuck told him to. Whenever Johnny Chuck's back was turned he would slip away by himself.
 I'm smart enough to look out for myself. I've learned all there is to learn, and if I'm ever going to see the world it is time I began" he would say to himself. Then he would steal a little further along some path which Johnny Chuck had forbidden him to go on.
 One afternoon the three little Chucks were getting their supper at a favorite patch of sweet clover Johnny Chuck was a little way off, sitting up very straight watching fof

And nothing was ever less true than the saying "Old mans darling young mans slave" Old age is apt to be querulous, selfish, exacting, domineering. Because an old man can make himself look foolish pursu- ing a young girl does not prove that he will make a lover-husband. Be cause a young man does not lose his head over youth itself, but looks to it as his right, does not mean that one must be his slave. On the contrary, 1t takes youth to adore, to idolize, to sustain romance. It is only their com mon slavely to love that is meant by young mans slave"-and who would escape from that?

danger. Suddenly he gave the danger signal. The two littlest Chucks started for home as fast as their small legs could take them. But the little Chuck who thought himself so smart kept right on eating. He didn't even look up. No, sir, he didn't even look up. He just smiled and said to himself:
 How foolish to run for nothing, and then have to walk all the way back here, We've had that danger signal three times today when there wasn't any danger, and it's all fool ishness. I'm going to stay right here and eat my fill and laugh at the others when they come back. My how good this clover does'-
 The smart little Chuck didn't fin ish. Instead, he gave a frightened squeak. A shadow fell across the sweet clover patch. Something dark dropped over him, and then some thing held him tight so tight he could hardly breathe. His littleheart went pit-a-pat with fear. How he did wish he had minded that danger signali
