Millions of gallons of cream are bought

there that they will start a buyers

Wet Inside and Out

The Marine was up for Office Hours.
The Sergeant of the Guard has ac-
cused him of falling off the dock while
in an intoxicated condition. The ac-
cused Marine stOutly maintained that
he was strictly sober, and that tee
ducking he got was not the result Of
his own misconduct. His buddy was
a reluctant witness.
The Commanding Officer addressed
the witness: ct is reported by the
Sergeant of the Guard that the ac-
cused Private Jones, was intoxicated
at the time he fell off the dock, and
that you assisted him ashore Tell
me, how did he appear to you when
you pulled him out? If you had been
ordered to give an opinion of him
then, what would you have said?"
"Sir," answered his buddy, II should
have said that he was one of the wet
test, if not the wettest, Marine had
ever SEEN"

FOR WORLD CITY
Various Sites Proposed for AM
bilious Project.
Idea, Put Forward by American, Is
to Form International Clearing
House of information.

New Jersey, Hawaii, Cuba, the en-
virOns of Paris, the Riviera, Belgium,
Switzerland, Italy, and Greece have
been proposed as sites for an interna-
tiOnal city, upon the plans of which
Hendrix Anderson, an American, now
residing in Rome. has been cOllabOr
ating for the better part of the last
IS years. Such a city, according to
Mr.. Anderson's projects, would not be
the adaptation to international pur-
poses of a town already existing, but
would be built new and so would con-
tain only those edifices necessary for
its aims and maintenance. There
would be. among other buildings, an
international court of justice, which
Mr.. Anderson willingly comedies would
not do away with war, but would at
least lessen the possibility of it, and
which would be attended by perma-
nent representatives from all nations.
There would also be an international
bank, an international medical con-
greSS, which would always be in SeS
sion, and through which all new dis
cOveries in medicine, hygiene and SAM
tation would at once be disseminated
throughout the world; an internatiOn-
al press building, and an international
chamber of commerce and labor. Each
government would likewise have it's
own building, which would offer to rep
reSentativeS of the other nations the
opportunity of examining all the
works of progress made by each coun-
try. The city would then be an in
ternational clearing house of infOrma-
ton, and from its establishment, Mr..
Anderson declares, only good results
could accrue
The plans of the city have been eX-
hibited at the Smithsonian institute at
Washington and extensive literature
concerning its economic, political and
structural possibilities has been sent
to the presidents and sovereigns Of
practically all the countries in the
world The estimated cost of such a
city is S5OO,OOO,OOO, but the net an
nual gain to each nation participating
in its advantages and facilities would
be $21 100000, according to the calcu-
latiOns in the tracts which have been
sent out.
Lectures will be made upon the
project this summer in the United
States, and the SorbOnne in Paris has
offered a chair for three years for
conferences on it. The plan has re-
ceived the appreciation of Pope Bene-
dict XIV, and both Belgium and Greece
have offered land grants for the site
Of the proposed city.

Cloth Tester Invented,

When high-priced clothes wear out
quickly the buyer must have been
"stung," said the bureau of standards
in a recent Washington dispatch to
the Baltimore American.
The bureau has perfected a device
by which the buyer of suit of clothes
can tell accurately the reason why.
The new invention, worked out by
a minor employee of the bureau, may
in the future be manufactured so
cheaply that every home can possess
one and be used as a sure guide in
the purchase of clothing of all grades.
What the device does is to tell be-
yond all doubt the thread count, fiber
strength and thread width and prob
able 'life" of a particular kind of cloth
that may be given a test 1t also de-
termines the power of resistance to
wear of which a piece of cloth may
be capable.

Mrs. Curtis entered. Tony whirled
and faced her. although she didn't
have the courage to utter word.
The woman looked from the girls
agitated face to Devon's, questioning
ly.
''This is my kid, ma'am," said Uriah,
with wave Of his hand toward Tony.
"Pve come to take her home. Get

Mrs. Curtis caught her arm.

send your things after you"
Tony's eyes gathered a belligerent
expression.
81 won't go without saying good-by
to Cousin Paul. she began.
''If she gets up there once" inter-
posed Mrs. Curtis, in an undertone to
Uriah Devon, you won't see her
again.
Tonnibel had heard the words and
knew they were true. If she could
get upstairs with Doctor Paul and
then lock the door, no one would dare
venture after her.
Devon saw swift intelligence light
up her face. He didn't intend to allow
her out of his sight. He caught at
her roughly as Mrs. Curtis barred
her flight to the door.
'Let me alone" she cried. 'Let me
alone"
Uriah snatched her hands, and Mrs.
Curtis buried her fingers in the dark
curls. AS Tonnibel cried out again, the
door suddenly opened, and John PEN
dlehaven walked into the room. Uriah
dropped the girls hands, and Mrs.
Curtis fell back with a startled ejacu-
lation
what does this mean?" questioned
Doctor John.
"My fathers here" said Tony, her
voice breaking.
"Her father, Cousin john" Mrs.
Curtis repeated.
'Ive come for my girl, mister" said
Uriah, plucking up his courage.
"And she," Pendlehaven kept his
eyes on Tonnibel, ''does she want to
go with your"
Whether she wants to go or not,

snapped at her, his eyes full of hate
"and I'll get even with you too, mis-
ter" He threw the last half of his
sentence at Doctor John, whose only
reply was shrug of his shoulders.
During the struggle between the de-
tectives and Uriah, Mrs. Curtis had
clutched at Pendlehaven's neck, but
he had cast her off without ceremony
Now the three were alone, Tonnibel
palpitating and fearful, Mrs. Curtis
sobbing on the floor, and Doctor John,
looking at her sternly.

didn't interest him. She slipped her
hand into his. Lifting eyes that were
troubled and dark-circled, she begged
"Let 'er stay, Cousin John. Mebbe
she didn't know my daddy would have
killed me if he'd got me back to the

her, and with a ring of fierceness in
his voice, said:

gone. Then weeping, she clattered
away, her sobs audible even after the
door was closed.
For a few moments Tony Devon
wept silently in John Pendlehaven's
arms.

won't be good, he just won't!'

TOTEM POLES" TELL STORY
Are Historical Records, and Not, as
Many Supposed, Idols to Be
Worshiped.

An art in sculpture not resembling
any other art in the world. unless pos
sibly that of ancient Mexico, is found
highly developed among the aboriginal
natives of the northwest coast.
Their material is always, wood, and
is furnished by huge trees from the
forest, which are carved into the
most fantastic shapes. In this style
are sculptured the so-called totem
poles," which, often of great size and
height. astonish the observer by the
intricacy Of their workmanship and
the weird imaginativeness of their
complex designs.
Early missionaries in that part of
the world mistook the totem poles for
idols. AS a matter of fact, they pos
sess no such significance, being merely
heraldfc columns. Each tribal clan
has it's own traditions and myths,
which takes the place of history, and
these are symbolized by the extraor-
binary birds and other animals, some
times human faces or figures, carved
on the totem poles.
Thus the Bear clan will have its
heraldic column topped by the sculp-
tured figure of a bear. The raven
shows up conspicuously' as the totem,
or crest, of the Raven clan; the whale
for the Whale clan, and so on.
To the IMMERSED a totem pole would
have no significance beyond it's queer
ness, but it is in reality whole story
carved in wood.

CHAPTER XIII.
Good for Evil.


That night for dinner, five people
sat about the Pendlehaven table, Reg
gle. pale and miserable looking, sat
next to his mother, and Philip Mac
Cauley was opposite Doctor John.
Katherine, silent and morose, was at
her own place. She had heard her
mothers version of the afternoons
happening in amazement and anger,
and it only added to her discomfort to
hear Cousin John tell the tale to
Philip.

mans child from him, Cousin John"
excused Mrs. Curtis, dull red
mounting to each high cheekbone.
Pendlehaven laughed.

his answer.

eyes on his mother.

remarked Katherine, with a sidelong
glance at Philip. ut does seem sat
isfying, though, to know who she is.

stock"
MacCauley's face grew dark, and
Pendlehaven cast a glance of anger
at his young consin
"Both Kathie and l." began Mrs.
Curtis. "Why, Reggie, my darling, I
never saw you look so sick in my
life!"

steadily. "Tell me what became Of
the girls father"
"He's going to jail for nice long
rest" interjected Pendlehaven. 1T
