BOYS SUGGESTION ALL RIGHT
Thirteen-Year-old Had Remembered
What He Had Been Taught
About Electricity.

The family washing was going
through its regular Monday electric
washer route. Incidentally the base
ment was damp, because there had
been no furnace fire.
When the lady OF the house started
to wiring the clothes she found an
electric current in the water, due ia
q short circuit in the motor After
several attempts TO wiring the clothes
before the current &c. In It's work,
she was about ready to give up and
wiring them by hand.
"Shu,.ks, MON" said thirteen-year-
old Harry. who knows all about Edi-
son and Franklin. "Pll bet II you put
on your rubbers. so the current can't
90 on out Of your body you won't get
shock at ALL"
And when "mom" tried the sugges-
ton she found the embryo electrician
knew what he was talking about, for
she worked In safety while wrlnging
the rest of the clothes.

done, but there was Felicia and home
and quiet.
Evening came and home once more.
he paused in the front hall and shifted
the air. What was that sitting, ia
milier smell?
Griddle cakesl
With darkened brow he entered the
dining room. 1t was dark and there
was no sign of dinner. He opened the
kitchen door and stopped there. dumb
with amazemehf. Some weird trans
formation had taken place. A large
screen hid the cooking range, Sat in
the middle of the floor was large
white enameled table and in one cor
ner was a small square one, with a
chair before il. On the small table
was glass stand heaped with folded
paper napkins, big sugar bowl of
familiar variety, pepper and salt Shak-
ers and a typewriter menu card.
Felicia was CARRIED in white, with
large white apron, and there was a
glimpse of a grinning maid similarly
attired. Here in his own adored home
was the atmosphere of the hated
| lunchrooms, and there was crude
sign ON the wall, Watch your hat and
oyercoat."
Felicia came and pecked his cheek.
Isn't il great? SO easy TO prepare
things, so easy to serve and so easy
for you to eat, dear. Hurry, now, and
sit down. oakly Ransome has tele-
phoned for you to meet him at the
station at 40 and go into town TO
some new show. and you can make it
if you hurry~
Hurry" How James hated the
word.
He smiled feebly and loked al the
card Felicia gave him. She had been
faithful to detail and had not omit
ted one of the standard dishes IA
miliar to the peripatetic luncher-out.
"Griddle cakes, ordered james sport
ingly.
James did not eat much. though the
new girl was a very good cook; he
was very thoughtful as he finished
the last leathery biz of pie and, leav-
ing a tip on the table, he went out of
the room. But there was a discour-
aged droop to his shoulders and there
was no sign of hurry in his gait. Fee
liCia watched him anxiously as he
went into the library and, calling Oak
! ~ Ransome up, he told him he could
not go into town. He sat down to
read the evening paper when Felicia
/ came in, attired in ona OF her charm
/ ing frocks. She kissed him and called
him dear old Omar" and he did not
smile until the new maid demurely
announced dinner and Felicia laugh
ngly dragged him into the dining
room to the dainty table set for din
ner. The meal was delicious and
James cared not that Felicia lectured
him all the way through on the evils
of hurried eating.
I've got to hurry now" he said;
"she probably won't last long
"She's going to stay forever" prom
Used Felicia wistfully, and then her
husband stopped eating and smiled
tenderly at her. 81 can't help loving

confessed as he kissed her con-

the wind from any direction to the

wheel, the wind escapes from the bot

The news that the French govern
ments has appointed minister for
sports, TO encourage games and phys
ical training. is interesting for sew
eral reasons. In the first place. this
move must mean expenditure, and
France is already sunk good deal
further into the financial quagmire
than we are ourselves. Either. then,
France can face bankruptcy with
smile or she has decided that health"
is an essential service, and that the
road to health is paved with good ath-
letics. Secondly. 1t shows how public
opinion in France has maintained iss
steady trend toward an ideal of mus
