Sure we did," says the foreman, and has

he confirms your suspicious that nothing

He is correct.

your business is in the city, and you get
more opportunity to look around. Even
then, though, you have your troubles.
How large is your family?" demands the
agent for an apartment that has appealed to
you as desirable in every way.
Just my wife and three children" you
reply, casually.
Three children!" exclaims the agent.
"Why didn't you tell me that in the first
place? We don't admit children here"
"Then what on earth did you suppose 1

You find the antipathy to children COM

their agents. Some don't object to children,
but they won't permit dog in the house.
And yet your little Freddie simply must
have his pet Fido or he would be inconsol-

But everything must have an end.
You finally discover just the place. The
rent is not impossible, the landlord is agree

pets as you please, and you are almost ready
to sign the lease when you decide your wife
had better see the place first. So you bring

New Use for Old Bulbs

TERE Is valuable use for your old
- incandescent lamp bulbs. BY adopt
l. ing this suggestion one can have
fire extinguisher ready any time. Carbon
tetrachloride bombs have found favor in
many American power plants for fire ex-
tinguishing, and their use has resulted in
the prompt quenching of fires that might
have resulted in serious consequences had
quick action not been taken.
Burned out incandescent lamp bulbs of a
suitable size are converted into bombs by
removing the metal base and filling the glass
bulb with the liquid. BY breaking the tip
from the bulb, while it is immersed in a
bucket of the carbon tetrachloride the fill
ing can be easily accomplished. drop of
wax is placed over the small hole at the tip
TO seal the bulb.

Round Headed People

* very different traits from the Brit
ish and Scotch ancestors of so many
Americans. Their descendants are long

The round headed peoples have great
capacity for patient labor, but are lacking
in initiative. 1t is said the immigration OF
these people to Great Britain in the last 200
years has changed the cephalic index of the
ordinary Britisher per cent. The cephalic
index is the ratio Of the breadth of the skull
to its length. Britons thus are said to be
per cent more round headed than their
forefathers of 200 years back.

Before Court Was Formed
People generally do not appreciate that
the foundations for Chicagos trade court
have been in the building for the last four
years In 1917 the new arbitrations and
awards act was passed by the Legislature of
Illinois. Experience Hereunder. chiefly In
the Municipal Court of Chicago, revealed
that there should be amendments to the law,
which were added in 1919, still further
amendments being added in 1921. The law Is
now workable, taving been sustained in a
test case we took to the Supreme Court OF
Illinois
Adjudication in the trade court has re-
ceived the special commentator of persons
residing a distance from Chicago. 1t is found
that nonresident litigants, witnesses and
counsel are often obliged to appear on many
occasions during the course of litigation in
the public courts, and then they often have
to wait their turn. The nonresident Iti-
giant IL pleased with the prospect OF fair

into the courts when direct negotiation fails.
At present these trade disputes clutter
calendars and absorb much time of judges
and juries. Many of Chicago's criminal
courts are months behind on their docket.
This condition is equally true of the Superior
and Circuit courts But with the advent of
this voluntary tribunal a partial solution is
at hand. with the result that the established
courts at last are trying real law cases.
The trade court, while yet in its expert
mental stages, Is proving a success. Chi
cago well as out of town business men
who wish to avoid litigation are using it.
The suitor Is not losing time and money
as is usual when he appeals to the estab-
lished courts. Long delays are unknown.
Chicagos trade court was made possible
officially by the Legislature after 1t had been
advocated by the Chicago Credit Mems AS

the Municipal Court. The final test of its
validity occurred when test case was taken
TO the state Supreme Court through the
activities of the Chicago Association of Com

No Trade Secrets of Importance
Revealed in the Hearings

One of the strongest features OF the new
court Is that neither party to the confer
ence was obliged to appear as witness In
open court; no important trade secrets have
been aired before competitors; no expensive
fees have been paid: no obnoxious harm
full publicity has been incurred. and the YER
dict has been given with the same despatch
that marks the daily decisions in the confer
ence room of any well conducted business
Any civil case now tried in the established
courts In the United States, except divorce
action, may come before the trade court.
The Supreme Court of Illinois has sus-
taned it's legality under the new arbtra-
tior and awards act and has defined Its
authority as extending TO any question OF
fact as distinguished from questions Of law.
Should a point Of law be involved in a case
a law court may revise the decision.
The trade court also has powers which
court of law has not. It may define the
rights of both parties under contract where
no action has yet accrued, even though a
court of law could not entertain an ordinary
suit until damages had been shown for
breach or non-fulfiment of contracts II may
disregard the letter of the law and decide

found, where ordinary court procedure would
require filing of a bill I'm equity to enforce

Perhaps\you remember my scarlet and
whire suit? Well. here is sport cape in
the same combination from which 1 ex-
pect much service and joy. Although it
is sport cape, it is quite lovely enough
to throw over an informal frock OF a
cool summer afternoon.
The salesgirl told me it was tomato and
white. Lovely names for the color, isn't
1t? So exactly descriptive and so sum-
merry and cool in sound.
The cape itself is made Of the tomato
wool in an ordinary machine knitting
stitch, while the collar is nothing more
nor less than a huge scarf Of furry white
angora weighted with a fringe of fat
white tassels.
These great capes of knitted fabric
really came in" last season, though
hardly any one knew of IL, just an ex-
elusive sprinkling of them at Newport
and the truly fashionable places.
Wouldn't one of them lie delightful to
snuggle into after ones bath in an ocean
that was not properly and considerably
tempered?
Fortunately, they have not yet become
common, though l suppose that must be
their inevitable termination, they are al
ready so popular. and when they do, of
course we shall abandon them for a new
favorite. Very perverse, but entirely
feminine and human not TO want to wear
an exact duplicate of the garment Of
some one you neither know nor care for.
With my tomato and white cape l wear
a light and jaunty little sport hat made
Of rows of tomato and white ribbon.

trade expansion through the efforts Of
American merchants in the direction Of
China and the South Seas is sounded in
an editorial appearing. recently in the
Toxic Hochi Shimbun. According TO the
Hochi the trade between China and
America has made steady progress since
the end Of the war, and the realization
Of possibilities in the China trade has
made American merchants take strenuous
steps to Improve trade in this direction,

statistics given by the Hochi show the
American exports to China as valued at

from China at S192, 100000, showing in
creases of $40, 1000, 600 in American exports
and SIS 0O0, 600 in Chinese exports, as
compared with 1919.
The note of warning to japanese mer-
