What They Mean
DID you DREAM OF MONEY!

WHEN it comes to matter Of
w money the oracles seem to dis
pute over filthy lucre" just as ordi'
nary mortals are apt to do. Some of
them say that to dream of finding mon
ey is bad sign, indicating losses;
and dreaming of losing money Is a
good sign, indicating gain; probably
working on the dreams 90 by con-
traries" hypothesis. But the best and
most eminent authorities do not agree
TO this. Some of them admit that to
dream of finding money signifies wor-
ries, but declare that out of these TEN.
porary worries great good will come /;
while others content themselves with
the statement that to dream of finding
money is lucky. All agree that 10
dream of losing money is sign of
good business, though one authority
darkly hints that you may have spat
with your wlfe-if you have one-after
such a dream. As to dreaming of saw
Ing money. there are two schools-the
optimlsts and the pessimists. The op-
timists declare that TO dream that you
are saving up money means that you
will have comfort and plenty, while
the pessimlsts think II portends losses
The weight Of opinion seems to be on
the side of the optlmists. II you dream
that you are swallowing money look

WELFARE WORK
By JESSIE ROBERTS

nized. no plant that has forward
looking policy is going to be without
its welfare department, and its trained
welfare expert. This work is especial
ly suited to women, and 1t is up to a
woman who wishes to enter the field
to get her necessary training and then
go out after the job. She will land
1t, for the supply OF good welfare
workers is far below the growing de;
mand.
1t Is becoming generally known to
even the most reactlonary of employ
ers that q contented body of workers
is their safest and soundest asset. The
ences between the employees and the
employer, who can explain the one
to the other, is often able to avoid a
disastrous strike.
OF course, such a woman must un-
derstand the proper installation Of
rest-rooms, the managing Of luncheons
at cost, the proper airing and warm
Ing of the workrooms. But even more
necessary is II that she should have
the power to win the confidence and
respect OF those for whom she works.
She must be known TO he fair and just,
and she must Join sympathy and hu-

In making both sides believe In her.

An Improved Road In the Northwest

are opened up and fills made In this
light soil the wind whips out the fill
slopes and sand dunes creep into rock

OIL is the only agency yet found to
stop the trouble. The equipment used
TO spray the crude oil consists of two

oil is carried from the storage tank
Mt the railway siding. and a tractor,
which draws the oiling rig and sup

steam and forced through hose with

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
MASCOT"

0NE Of the most general of
" superstltions the world
over is that child born with
n "caul" or membrane over the
head is not only a soothsayel
but an extremely fortunate per
son. In Scotland, as well as In
France, ,Sthe caul itself Is regard
ed as bringing good fortune TO
anyone who possesses 1t, and
high prices have been paid for
these unusual appendages.
The French word for a child
born In this manner Is
"masque," meaning masked" q
word which is analogous to
the Latin "masca," for sorcerer
which possibly explains the
connection between the caul and
power attributed to those born
with 1t. 1t was from the French
masque, with a slight change
of final syllable, that the Eng
lish "mascot"-meaning a lucky
piece-was derived. After be-
ing used for years by gamblers
and others Of a superstitious
nature, the word was finally
introduced into literature by
Audran, In his opera la Mas
cotte," In which the term des-
ignates the messengers of the
power Of God, sent to counter
act the influence of the power
of evil.

Glue Stronger Than Steel.

A new field for wood has been
opened by the use of what Is called
ply-wOod and glue made from the
blood OF the animals killed at the
slaughter house and of the casein, OBJ
tanned from milk.
Remarkable sturdiness under all con-
dltions has been shown by this COM
bination. The combination was first
thought Of in connection with the man
ufacture OF airplanes.
Thin sheets of wood are laid one
over the other with dry sheets Of pa
per coated on both sides with the
new glue. The mass Is then heated
under pressure and the result Is that
structure Is formed which is strong
er than steel and has many other ad-
vsntages over metal.
Panels were glued together with
these and tested In boiling water for
eight hours. At the expiration Of this
time none Of the pieces showed any
separation of the plies.

TWILIGHT Varies With Latitude.

Twilight Is the diffused illumination
of the sky which Immediately pre-
cedes sunrise and follows sunset. When
the sun sets below the horizon we are
not at once plunged into total dark
ness. There is an intermediate period
of partial and slowly increasing dark
ness. That period is twilight. 1t Is
caused by the reflection Of the sun
light by dust and particles of water
vapor In the upper atmosphere. The
same phenomenon occurs just before
sunrise, and, to distinguish IL from
the evening twilight, Is called dawn.
Dawn begins and twilight ends when
the sun is about eighteen degrees be-
low the horizon, and consequently
their duration varies with the latitude
and season of the year. The higher
the latitude the smaller the angle at
which the suns path meets the hor-
lion, and hence the longer 1t takes
the sun TO sink distance of eighteen
degrees below the horizon. In the
tropics twilight rarely is longer than
thirty minutes, while in the north of
Scotland about the middle of summer
there are several nights on which twi-
light fills the entire interval between
sunset and sunrise.

"SIMON PURE" A STAGE HERO
Name Of Hero Of Popular Comedy Has
Become Synonymous for the
Genuine Article.

The expression, "Slmon Pure" mean
Ing "the real man." had its origin in
the name Of a Pennsylvania Quaker
in Mrs. Centivres comedy, "A Bold
Stroke for a Wife" Being about to
visit London to attend the quarterly
meeting of his sect, Aminadab Hold
fast sends a letter Of recommendation
and introduction by his friend. Simon
Pure, to another Quaker who is guard
ian of Anne Lovely, young lady re-
puted to have fortune of 100000.
Colonel Feignwell, another character
in the same play. being enamor-d of
Miss Lovely and her fortune, avails
himself of an accidental discovery
Of the letter of introduction and sue
ceeds In passing himself off as Simon
Pure. But virtue is triumphant In
the end. Simon Pure appears with
his witnesses and the scoundrelly
Feignwell is exposed.
The play scored great success, ana
the name of "SimOn Pure" was grad
ually applied to anything which was
genuine and above imitation.

FINEST OF EARTH'S CHURCHES
Men Of Genius Through Many Gen.
turtles Aided In the Erection
of st. Peters at Rome.

The history of st. Peters at Rome,
one of the worlds most interesting
editices, goes back over a thousand
years, for ii was on this spot, the site
of Nero's circus, within walls ornate
with gold and glistening with mosaic
and marble, that Charlemagne received
the crown of imperial Rome from Pope
Leo Ill, and here was slowly erected
throughout subsequent centuries this
building, called the central cathedral
of Christendom. All that man could
do to make st. Peters great and beau
tiful has been lavished upon that
splendid church. Nine. de Stael said
OF Ii, "C'est lie Seul travail de Fart
sur notre terre actuelle qui ait lie
genre de grandeur qui characterize
les oeuvres immediates de la crea-
tiOn." cit is the sole work OF art on
our earth which has the sort of noble
ness that characterizes the works Of
nature.) Marion Crawford puts ones
first impression of st. Peters In a
nutshell when he says, THE first sight
of st. Peters affects one as though
in every day streets, walking among
ones fellows, one should meet with
man forty feet high"
While the interior decorations have
been criticized as being too profuse
An American tourist once referred
to them as too much gingerbread
that great roof covers the work of
some of the most renowned sculptors
OF the world.

FAMED FOR GIANT POTATOES
District Just North Of Denver Has Es-
tablished It's Reputation for the
Sueculent Vegetable.

Wien Horace Greeley gave the
saying. some decades ago: Go West
young man." he incidentally succeeded
In getting n very fine brand of POI
tatOes named for himself, writes viii
liam G. Shepherd In the Saturday Eve
ming Post. A group of men who went
To the West at that time settled In
district north of Denver and east
of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps,
because they thought of nothing else
to raise, they planted potatoes. About
them. in the highlands. the only wild
potatoes in the United States were
growing luXuriantly. This district is
similar climatically and otherwise to
the highland district in Chile where
explorers are believed To have come
across the potato for the first time.
These Colorado wild potatoes prop
agated themselves by means of seeds,
and ii is from the pods of these seeds
that the Colorado potato experts get
the material by means of which they
have produced the Greeleyville potato.
Eastern railroads. on which huge
baked potatoes, served in the dining
cars, have come to be strong allies of
the passenger agent and heavy draw
ers of patronage, send to the Colorado
district for the potato giants. Trans
continental railroads which use the
northern route send men into the Mon
tana and Dakota fields to pick out, al
most by hand, huge potatoes which
have been grown from the Colorado
seed
