IF SHE COULD HAVE KNOWN!
Detroit Girl Probably Will Always
Feel That Fate Has Been Most
Unkind to Her.

Some women rush into marriage,
but others give thought to what the
economic experts say man should
be earning and have in the bank be-
fore taking unto himself wife.
: Few will question that the latter
course IS the sensible one, observes the
Providence Journal. But it has Its
exceptions, like everything else. One
of the most romantic of them, psr-
hapS, Is contained in recent news
dispatch from Detroit, telling how an
englne-rOOm worker in one Of the city
hotels at 80 cents an hour was Spurned
by the girl of his dreams because she
was sure that he would never be able
to support her.
In less than week after the spurn-
ing the man received message from
a Toledo attorney saying, that he was
one of three heirs to a Sl5,OUOOO
estate in California. Fiction, which
revels in the happy ending, would have
had the lucky one repeat his offer of
marriage and meet with quick and
maybe fearful acceptance, and then
would have given us pretty word
picture of the smiling couple whirling
westward on a train de luxe.
But truth is cold and exact. The
engine-rOom worker simply said good
by to the girl who had rejected him
and went to lay claim to his inherit
ance-alOne.
Was this decision correct? And will
the young woman, If her hand is
sought again by some humble but
steady workman, consider his earning
capacity above his desire to make her
his helpmate?
Any one in search of first aid TO
conversation may use these questions

NEW VERSION OF "OLD GLORY"
EnaIishInan Offers Opinion That Stars
and Stripes Are Copy of East
India Company's Flag.

A new theory about the origin OF
the American flag is told by the
writer of the BY the Way column
In the London Daily Express. 1t Is
sent by correspondent evidently
yersed in such matters, who expresses
the opinion that the attribution OF
"Old Glory" to the arms Of the WASH
ingtOn family Is exploded.
ut is much more probable, ne
writes, "that the flag of the old East
India company formed the pattern
This flag seems to have been used as
The official flag of the 13 original
states from January, 11I6, to June
l7T7. when & blue canton charged With
l3 stars was substituted for the can
ton bearing the English Union The
flag then became, in substance, that
or today. though stars have been add
ed as other states adhered to the fed
eration." The correspondent quotes
authorities.
Truth must prevail, whatever 1t ID,
but" says the columnist, Il like the
story told by Newman in his address
es to the Brothers of Oratory. There
was once an old priest, he tells u.s.
who for years began certain part OF
the service with the words: 'Quod
ore mumpsimus.' One day a more
learned person heard him and after,
ward told him that the third word
should he 'sumpsimus.' The old priest
admitted that it might be so, but he
added I will not ,change my old
mumpsimus for your new sumpsimus'
I like the old mumpsimus story asso'
ciatng old Glory with Sulgrave
manor"

Woman Bird Surgeon

The only woman bird surgeon in the
world is Miss Virginia Pope Of New
York. Miss Pope treats everything
from blrG Group to birds broken leg
and she goes out at any time of night
to attend her patients Just as any
other physician does. She is also a
bird boarding house keeper, taking
care of canaries and other pets whose
families are out Of town or need a
rest from song. Just now there are
700 birds in her care and her life is
n merry one in consequence. A good
many of the 700 she expects to have
with her the rest of their lives. Peo-
pie get tired of them and bring them
to Miss Pope and then, forget to call
for them. OF course that isn't what
might be called profitable for the bird
surgeon, but she takes just as good
care Of them as she does for her pay
ing guests" Her fondest hope is to
have large bird hospital with plenty
Of room and equipment. Three floors
and basement get. crowded some
times now.

Roman Use 0f Concrete.

The Romans discoveries in concrete
mixing made it possible for them TO
make prodigious strides In engineer
lng and architecture. At the foot OF
vcsuv.us were immense deposits OF
reddish sand or volcanic ash called
poZZuoana, which. when added TO lime
mortar, made hydraulic cement. This
gave to the Romans a concrete OF
extraordinary strength and perman'
,nce. which hardened under water as
we'll rs in the air, and became the
basis of their ertire system Of building.

Eias Flourish In Poorest Soil.

Consul Homer NJ. Bylngton Of Ma.
pies writes that the production of
figs for local consumption and for ex-
portation is an Important industry in
southern Italy. Fresh figs are staple
article of food, especially for the
poorer classes, during the season, and
when dried in the sun may be kept
for considerable periods Of time. OF
peculiar economic value Is the fact
that they may be grown in soil too
poor for other crops. The trees are
planted irregularly and frequently on
steep hillsides along small terraces.
In certain provinces 1t is the custom
for landowners to enter into an agree
ment with the farmer whereby the
llatter plants fg trees in the inferior
or waste portion of land, taking the
entire crop Of a stated number Of years
and at the end Of the contract return.

The Omnipresent Reporter.

American newspapers are spending
considerably more on their service
abroad than for parallel service III
America. Who knows better the
things Americans are interested III
than the managing editors who au-
thorize this? Any event Of more than
local interest in Europe calls the
American journalists to the spot. For
example, one morning at 10 o'clock
in London, I strolled into a British
labor congress. I met there six
American newspapermen, and but
three or four British. Let any trou-
BILE start in Ireland and every New

EVIDENTLY HER LUCKY DAY
Girl at First Thought Plckpocket Was
Cusy, but It Turned Out Just
the Other Way.

The business girl, straphanging IN
The subway at the rush hour, felt
gentle tug on the pocket Of her rain
ccat. Far from being disturbed, she
grinncd sardonically, knowing that
Just exactly one dime rested in the
shabby little purse resting In that par
ticular pocket. She was so hemmed
in by fellow travellers that 1t was
difficult to discover if her suspicious
were facts until she emerged with the
struggling mass at her station. Then
she dipped her hand lightly into the
pocket only to find the ancient purse
intact and in It's accustomed spot.
But that wasn't the only thing In
the pocket. Extracting n hard SUBJ
stance gingerly, she stared in a daZe
at q roll Of bills protected by an elas-
tic band. Exhilarated and excited
over this reverse state Of affairs, she
counted her ill-gotten gains and be-
hold, she was the richer by 30 per-
fectly good dollars. Whether a fellow
passenger had dropped them by mis-
take into her pocket instead of his
own or a thief placed them there for
fear of detection affords wide field
Of speculation. Anyhow the business
girl has turned the money into her
college campaign fund and hopes II
will not be refused as tainted money.
