messages b. fiashllght to the sailors

wouldn't enjoy being courted so rO-

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
ABOUT INTRoDUCTIONs

We are more sensible of what is done
against custom than against nature
Plutarch.
RIO ONE has any good excuse for
IN not being able to make intro
auctions easily and in good FORM
1t is simply matter of knowing the
right form and then In little prac-
tIte. 1t Is an act that requires no
originality and no special talent. But
there are lot of people neverthe-
less. who always do bungle an intro
iuction. and this for the simple reason
that they do not give the subject suf-
ficient thought or do not trouble
themselves to look up the right way
to do it.
The other day observed a stalwart
young corporal. proud to have MS
cheery-faced little mother visiting him,
and eager to introduce her to his
friends.
Mother, meet Sergeant Jones'" he
said as one of his friends approached.
and again. smith, know my mother.
To be sure this answered the pur-
pose and as every one was very happy
on the occasion IL probably didn't
mike much difference how the intro
ductlon was made. But the form was
far from courteous.
In the first place a man should al
wars present or introduce his men
friends 10 his mother, or any other
woman, and he should use form OF
Introduction that shows that he Is
making the Introduction In this way.
Moreover the abrupt manner of say
Ing simply "Meet Mr.. Brown" or
"Know my friend Jones' which has
recently become so popular Is really
too abrupt to be i'm good form for any
purpose save possibly for men to In
troduee men to each other In pure
ly business connection. II should
never be used In Introducing women.
The right way for the young soldier
TO have gone about II would have
been to say. Mother. / want to pre-
sent Sergeant Jones" Jones'" this is
nv mother" or "Let me introduce
Sergeant Jones to you. mother; Ser
geant Jones 1 wish to present you to
NV mother" In a case like this 1t
Is not necessary to give the mothers
name. The only occasion where 1t
would be. would be in the case the
mother. through remarriage, bore
name different from the one Of the
son who introduced her.

Authoress, Planning African Trip, Ger
tainIy Is Overlooking Nothing
That Can Be Made Useful.

Using the by-products is the most
characteristic feature of distinctly
modern industry. How thoroughly
this principle has been applied to lit
erature comes out in an Interview with
a charming and able Chicago novelist
who is taking her iive-year-old daugh'
ter into Africa gorilla hunting with
Carl Akeley's party.
The author II question will make the
trip to collect local color, the basic
material In the fiction industry. The
first product will be a novel, with a
movie TO follow. But not all the local
color which an African trip is bound to
yield can be used in a novel, so the
author plans TO work over the waste in
a travel book. which will find. a ready
sale TO that small but choice public
which has wearled of fiction. The third
and rather special product will be the
story of her small daughters reaction
to the adventure, which is expected TO
make another interesting book.
Each of the three books is sep
arate product OF the basic local color |;
each will satisfy certain special
need and reach a public of ITS own.
Between the fiction readers. the arm
chair travellers and the students Of the
child-mind. this author pretty wen
covers the book-buying classes. Con-
sldenng how little daughter will prob
ably react when she sights her first
gorilla, the "child reactions" book may
fairly be called utilizing the squeal."

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
TARTAR"

ffTARTAR," as applied to
the wild tribes which
inhabit middle and cen
trail Asia, is one of those words
I'm which a wrongly assumed
derivation has modified the
spelling and the very shape in
which We now have Ii, for the
people usually designated by
this name are not "rartars,"
but Eaters"
The Interpolation of the 'r"
I'm the first syllable came about
when these hordes burst into
Europe during the Thirteenth
century and swept everything
before them. Many persons
claimed that the ravages of the
invading cavalry constituted a
fulfillment of the prophecy In
the ninth chapter Of Revelation
concerning the opening Of the
bottomless pit and the loosing of
the inhabitants of the Internal
regions. From this belief en-
sued the change of their name
from "Taters" to "Tartars," the
latter being ar, outgrOwth of
Tartarus, or hell, whence these
implacable hordes were sup
posed to have come.
The bravery of the invaders,
together with their stole disre-
gard for pain and the manner In
which they turned upon their
guards when captured, also gave
rise to the expression catch a
Tartar" or she caught a Tartar
which Is in use to this day as
a synonym for being taken by
surprise. particularly when n
person thinks that lie has made
an easy conquest.

FARM OPPORTUNITIES

r AM constantly in receipt Of letters
| from women tired of Office work
who ask what chance they would
have In investing their savings in a
small farm. They want home, they
want to be their own masters, they
long for the country after years Of
combining labor at desk.
Success in farming requires train
ing and experience as we'll as a wish
for that type of work. A good busI-
ness training and initiative are excel
lent as stock in trade, but there should
be more than that. Farming is no easy
job.
Two young women tell me that they
are making money with a small sheep
farm. There is plenty of demand both
for the wool and the meat. But these
two women also run an apiary, mar
keting their honey, in a distinctive
package. 1t is the finest honey, and
they charge high price for it. They
have worked up a trade with a list OF
private purchasers, and sell through
the mail.
The thing lie to have only the very
highest class Of produce, to charge
high for it. TO put it into attractive
and striking packages that are an ad-
vertisement In themselves. and to sell
direct to the consumer. With the par
Gel post this is possible. We find 1t
better to specialize in several things
rather than In one. Establish a mar
ket for one of your items and you es-
tablish it for all.
This sounds like good talk, and 1
recommend 1T to my readers who may
be thinking of turning to the farm as
a source OF income.

Enormous Acreage
Of Lettuce This Year

Organizer Hoppe, of the United States
Bureau of Markets, and County Agri
culturist w. II. Sawhill have a new
marketing proposition on their hands
in Pueblo county which at first blush
looks herculean.
Fifty car loads of head lettuce will
be produced this season in the vicinity
of Rye by independent growers, accord
ing to present indications.
Last year from Pueblo. Florence,
Westcliffe and other shipping points,
the George j. Ton distributing organi-
zation shipped more than so cars of
head lettuce. With added stations and
acreage 1t is said Mr.. Ton will handle
very much moro this season. He is the
originator of the mountain mid-sun-
mer head lettuce producing industry,
not only here but throughout the
United States, and since he made 4
success of 1t, importations from France
at that season have ceased.
Now many others are going into the
buAness hereabouts. and to the extent
Mr.. Sawhill says, that the Rye dis
trict alone will produce so car loads.
