THEFT-PROOF
JEWEL BOX
MONG the newest things that


~ German inventors have sent
US in the last few months is
a box that comes as near to being
burglar proof as 1t is possible to
imagine. 1t looks like an ordinary
steel box with keyhole in its side.
But just lift 1t or move il and
loud alarm bell begins to ring in
side it. This bell keeps on ringing
for five hours and IL cannot be
stopped without unlocking the box.
A burglar might carrying off the
ringing and would give him away
before he could get 1t to a place Of
safety. II he touches 1t, even
stumbles against IL, the alarm will
arouse the household, for the
slightest movement suffices to set
1t ringing. The same Of course Is
true Of the dishonest servant.
The owner can, however, open
and close the box at will, as he
has the key. And the only way
In which he can be robbed is by
some thief stealing the key before
tampering with the box.
This safe is arranged inside with
trays for small articles, money and
jewelry and with space under
them for securities, such as bonds
and mortgages. The whole Is made
of seamless steel. nickel-plated,
with a piano hinge and strong dou-
BILE lock. There are no duplicate
keys, nor is there a master key
that will open it.

Milky Way in that region is
simply to be ascrfbed to the inn
mense depth OF stars through
which the vision ranges. It is
something like looking toward the
center OF an immense city. Among
the plates of the Franklin-Adams
Photographic star-charts one has
been found covering this Sagit-
tarius region Of the Milky Way
on which the star clouds, over
limited portions, ARE so thick
that in the case OF twelve out of
the twenty-five areas counted on 1t
II was found impossible to count
every star shown; the images of
the tainted stars in these regions
merged into one another, form
ing continuous gray background.
On every other plate of the Frank
lin-Adams series even the faintest
star images shown were separate
and distinct, and the counts in
cluded all stars visible.
THE extreme richness of the
Sagittarius region may be judged,
then, when 1t is noticed that the
incomplete counts on II shov tar
more stars than are found inyany
other part of the Milky Way"
The Milky Way is most incon-
spicuous in the evenings Of April
and May, when IT lies along the
northern horizon between the east
and west points. But at the same
time, in the Southern hemisphere
1t spans the sky in the magnificent
arch from east to west, with the
beautiful Southern Cross glow
ing like a golden keystone at its
apex. And, II you get up at an
hour or two before sunrise in April

remark, Happy times with a lot

they're rubes, then we're rubes."
"Oh, WELL" said Henry, whose

little proudly.
Her son had no evidence to the
contrary; there was no mutuality
Of interest between him and his
father and never had been. To
the younger the elder had been
the personification of easy money;
to the older the younger in his
own forceful language had been
a damned fool and never would
be anything else"
He was so convinced Of this
fact he did what many rich men
do not do; he made a will and
left his fortune in trust, the in
terest to be paid to his widow
and Henry to be provided for as
she saw fit.
In doing this he showed a keen
knowledge of his capable wife,
who in spite of his faults was
never known to give away some
thing for nothing.
This had happened two years
before and Mr.. Garrison having
made honey like the Industrious
bee he was signed the document
giving credit where credit was
due and left this mortal hive to
bask in fields of celestial clover

WY Z hear a great deal of talk
" about "the good old days"
We do a great deal of
signing over the sad pass to which
things are coming today. But 1
believe that no matter how dis
couraging surface indications are
now and then, the world is moving
ahead and growing. l think that
We humans are learning more about
living all the time.
Perhaps it takes a century to
show change in the human race.
But think of all the centuries 1t.
took to evolve a flaming mass of
gasses into this earth which we
now know. Reflect how long it re-
quired to conquer the winds which
long ago tribes tremblingly wor-
SHIPPED, and to learn to ride above
and through them in airplanes.
Humanity moved forward slow
ly. We came from life which
evolved in 'primeval ooze." When
our animal forbears learned to
stand upright, they had accom-
plished a great thing in evolution.
To hunt, TO find caves, to evolve
a spoken language, a written liter
ature, all took centuries. Some
scientists put the time through
which man has been evolving at a
million years. Some call it the
trifling amount of five hundred
thousand years. But in any event
and at any count, we've been a
long time on the way!
Even today we know little about
our minds and their workings.
We're just beginning to realize that
sick nerves may make body seem
ill--that a badly functioning diges-
ton may mean nothing more than
a soul struggle. Twenty years ago
this idea might have been laughed

well manicured head.

mother with a well bred air, "you

hope, in such cases, of accom-
plishing good results in the treat
ment.
We are not now concerned with
the graver forms Of arthritis, such
as the condition known as arth-
ritis deformans, in which extern
sive and intractable changes occur,
but with the more common and
less serious varieties.
Some of these cases of arthritis
go by the name of chronic rheu-
matism, but there is no proof
that rheumatism ever passes into
a distinctly chronic condition or
ever begins as a chronic affection.
These cases seem to owe their
origin to special factors bearing
no relation to rheumatism.

general condition of these pa
tients will help the joint trou-

from worry, change of climate,

II is a fact that very many of
these patients are remarkably
benefited by cutting down the
carbohydrates in the diet, in other
words, the starches and sugars.
This, of course, means giving up
such food as bread. which is quite
a hardship for many people. But
since the results are sometimes
curative and almost always bene-
ficial in these arthritis cases the
sacrifices will be found to pay.
The patients promising the best
results are those who have long
been excessive consumers of car
