The common volcanic rock known
as basalt cannot be easily shaped with
chisel and hammer. but Dr.. Ribbe. a
French experimental, claims much
success for his method of shaping by

first product was a CLASSY substance.

change 10 the crystalline structure Of
the original rock by a devitrifyipg
process. The rock which has been
melted and nodded is found TO be SUI
perior to the natural basalt in resist

proves TO he especially desirable for
such purposes as paving. curhstOnes

great smoOthness and exactness. As

WoMAN's LOVE DEMANDS ALL
Can Never Be Satisfied With Anything
Less Than Absolute Dominion
Over One Man.

what every woman wants more thar
anything else in fhe world is absolute
dominion over ole man. There is {
peculiarly vampish trend in feminine
love which takes the form of demand
ing entire possession of the creature
upon whom the affections have beer
fastened.
Every woman wants TO feel that. nc
matter what his occupation-be il the
most engrossing business or merely a
game of golf-she is ever the cosn-
polling note at the back OF her mans
head. He must not forget her for a
single instant. and he must be regret
fully conscious that nothing is quite
satisfactory, lacking the saving grace
of her presence. And she requires
continually to be assured of this. She
believes that in boarding her perpet-
ual recollection he holds tausman
rendering him immune from the attrac-
tons or Establishments of all other
women
It is difficult for the feminine men
tally TO grasp the curious power Of
detachment of the masculine. A woul-
an cannot comprehend. much less sym
pathize with. that trait by which
man can divest himself completely of
any thought of her while absorbed in
something else.
mans mind-and this particular
ly refers to the man of many serious
interests-is like a number of COM
partments, each sealed from the other
and docketed as 10 contents. While
he is in one. he shuts out everything
pertaining TO any other.
A woman has not this capability of
detachment Whether she is playing
bridge or apparently obsessed with
some knOtty domestic detail. she is
always subconsciously aware of the
one.
Fhe retentive quality is the pre-
vailing characteristic of woman. 1t is
at once her greatest strength and her
greatest weakness-she cannot bear
to let go. If she sees tie fame of
love on the wane she tries frantieally
to restore it 10 its full force. A man
faced with the same contingency is
apt TO he more resigned-or brutal
and makes haste to finish completely
the cooling affection.
A man likes to do Il thirg. have
done with it, and conSign all memory
TO obIivion-to wipe the slate clean
and be ready for sdmething new

when SUNDAY was Abandoned.

The movement To enforce a Blue
Law" Sunday on the people of the
United States recalls the fact that only
once since the days of Moses on Mt.
Sinai has Sunday been abandoned by
any nation claiming Jehovah as Gcd.
That once was during and immediately
after the French revolution. A decree
was drawn up by Gohet, archbishop of
Paris. that the French should worship
Liberty. Equality and Reason in place
of God. and. TO make sure of the peO-
pies forgetting of the church, the
buildings were denuded of their sacred
ornaments and civic feasts substituted
for the feasts of saints days, while
Sunday was wiped from the calendar
Icy creating months of 80 days each
and giving holiday every ten days.

panuer in uncIean dishes.

Just how serious is the danger of
infection from imperfectly washed
dishes in eating pisces has not been
determined. but the high count of
bacteria left upon restaurant utensils
suggests unpleasant possibilities. In
the investigation of Roy S Dearstyne.
health official of Charlotte. y. c.. the
utensils were from six eating houses,
of which one used a modern electric
dishwasher. The bacteria on hand
washed coffee mugs from different
lunch rooms ranged from 10000 TO
100000; on water glasses, $4,000 TO
10000: spoons, 3.400 to 10000 !;
knives. 1,5O0 to 10000: forks. 1,5OO
to 1000. With the clearly machine
washing. the coffee mugs had $500
bacteria, no other utensils more than
1000.

Of less than cent and half.

titution that warrants refusal to buy
happiness and cheerfulness for this
mass of children"
Gen. Pershing said: To-day even the
most destitute of our children in
America are rich in comparison with
millions of children of the poverty
stricken nations of Europe, who ap-
peal to US for help. 1t seems to me
that if there ever was a time in the
history of the world when human SYM
pathies should be stirred to activity it
is during this after-the-war period"
Gen. Pershing, continuing, spoke in
favor of world disarmament 'FThe
world doesn't seem to learn from ex-
perience,'' he said. 1t would appear
that the lessons of the past six years
should be enough to convince every
body of the danger of nations striding
up and down the earth armed to the
teeth. But no one nation can reduce
ornaments unless all do. Isn't this
time for an awakening AMONG all en-
lightened peoples to the end that the
leading powers may reach some ma
tional agreement which would not
only relieve the world of this terrible
would be long step toward the pre-
ventions of war?
Unless some such move be made
we will ask ourselves whether civil
cation does really reach point where
it begins to destroy itself-and where
we are thus doomed to go headlong
down through destructive war to dark
ness and barbarism."
