Experiments made in France, it is

spun by certain caterpillars are due
to coloring matter derived from the

WHO MAKES THE PROPOSAL
According TO Smoking Room Authority
II is the Woman Who Generally
Suggests Marriage.

The cODtented sOmnolence Of the
afterdlnner group around the smok
ing room fire was disturbed by the
noisy dropping OF a magazine.
"a silly love story all sentimental
speeches." explained the reader
"Sccms very unreal TO me. But /
suppose ] can't judge Of these things
No man knows, for instance, how an
other proposes"
"Alen never DO propose" growled
the misogynlst sprawllng IN the room
lest OF the armchalrs. "Ninety-nlne
women out Of hundred take the pro-
posal for granted, and I'm ready to bet
that not one Of you proposed to your
WIFE,"
There was brief silence as each
man muslngly turned the dim pages
Of his memory Then one man laughed
and said: "Now, when ! think Of 1t
you are quite right In my case. l
didn't propose to Alice. She was one
of large, lively family, and all the
brothers and sisters were my friends.
Gradually it happened that Alice was
my partner at golf or tennis more often
than any of her sisters. When I an
nounced that / had been made junior
partner in my firm, Alice's mother
kissed me and said: I'm 50 glad,
Tom. Now you and Alice can be
married at last So we were-and Il
jolly good thing 1t was for me"
"When you think Of my quiet little
Wife" said Brown, the bOisterous, mas
terful one of the group, you might
imagine that ! dubbed her into sub
mission; but, as a matter Of fact, She
married me. We had known one an
other from childhood, ana one day
when she saw me she said, You have
Il button off your coat and you are
going to have influenza. I'd better
marry you when you get well again
just TO keep you in order That's
all the proposing that took place in
our case. But what about Grays0n
there? A man who earns his living
by writing short stories must surely
have said something poetic when he
proposed"

Hollands Electrical Development

Reports from Holland show that
electrical development is progressing
rapidly there, including plans for cleo
rifying the entire railway system Of
the country. While this project has
not been definitely decided upon, Il
commission, appointed TO study cleo
IRRIGATION in the United States and
other countries, has reported fayora-
bly,, recommending a system operated
by 1,500-volt direct current. The
province of iceland heretofore lack
ing general electric service, is to he
supplied by a concern financed iontly
by the communities and the provincial
government The commission esti-
mates that the cost of similar service

proxlmately $2,2S0,000, Of which $780,
900 has already been subscribed The

humorous and pathetic incidents occur.
IAN old Virginia nanny wanted to
ship herself home parcel post. Every
Christmas She had received a nice
fat package through the mail. 1t
meant direct communication with her
own people. She pictured Christmas
down on the plantation ia all the rosy
glow Of her far-oif childhood. She
craved to go back and she didn't
know how to go. She had just enough
brains to know that she was too ig-

Mr.. Johnson talks like Virginian
and has a true gift OF telling story.
"a negro said there were three kinds
of pies, the ciyered, the uncovered

the barred variety. In a country dis
trict some one made the most beauti-
full barred apple pie. They decided to
send it through the mails to a friend
in Philadelphia. Great was their
trust. They put string through one
of the bars. Tied on a label with the
name and address and the proper

THAT pie arrived in perfect condi-

Mr.. Johnson also had amusing eX-
periences when he worked in the rail
way mails Bags collected at the rural
stations often contain queer guests.
Il have seen a clerk open bag and
small snake come out" continued
Mr.. Johnson merrily; whenever that
happens they look as if they had been
struck by green lightning.
"The bag had been put down some
where and somehow the snake had
managed to creep in.
"At places too small for the ex-
press to stop, the mail bag is hung out
on an iron crane. The postal clerk
grabs it and throws out another as

Unusual results with crystal detector
reception is reported by amateurs of
Lynn, where they have had long ex-
perience with crystals. Newark, Pitts
burgh, Schenectady, as well as Dayton
and Indianapolis are some of the more
distant stations that Minor and Beetly
have been able to get on crystal. Ken
Eeth Benson, living three miles north
of Lynn, purchased a crystal, phones
and sliding tuner from Beetly two days
ago and was able Sunday night to get
in New Albany, n. Y. With a similar
set, Ralph Hollingsworth heard Pitts
burgh his first night.
Beetly also reports KYW, the Chi
cago Westinghouse station, foning in
very satisfactorily at Lynn, although
no one else in this section has been
able to hear that station very well.
The situation of Lynn is credited for
the unusual results. II is suggested
by the Lynn amateurs that the situa-
ton of the town is responsible for the
results.
Denver. Colo, and Harrisburg, Pa,
and Bradley institute in Illinois are
new phones recently heard by Beetly.
The flying parson," Lieut. Maynard,
also was heard by Beetly at II o'clock
central time as he performed an aerial
marriage over New York recently. The
ceremony, which received much com
ment in the papers, was performed in
an airplane carrying the couple and
the "parson" at height of thousand
feet, with radiophone TRANSMITTING

a radio concert staged through the
courtesy of Beetly and other local anna
teurs. Beetly's Westinghouse was
used and special program was given
from the Palladium at Richmond, run
ming from $3.50 to o'clock with a
second program from 10 to IL o'clock.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced in preparation, equipment being
borrowed from two other cities. For
antenna, the only available material
was No. IL insulated wire loaned by
the telephone company, and strung up
to neighboring roof after dark. Very
satisfactory results were reported by
the listeners, the music coming in
loud enough to be heard all over a
large hall.
Eaton Wireless
Several of the Eaton Radio club
members are now using sets made &C
cording to plan worked out in a re-
cent meeting of the club. New sets
are being built by Dr. H. Riley Splitter,
who is using single circuit with a
fixed coupling of a IT'S to 1000 meter
wave length, and by Roy Poe, who is
using the basket vario-couplers. Frank
Miles is improving his set, with which
he has been able to get a number of
stations.

POSTOFFICE REPORTS
INDICATE INCREASED
AND BETTER BUSINESS

Improvement in business conditions
are reflected In the sale of all stamp
ed paper at the postoffice during the
month of April, according to the be-
lief of Henry Deuker assistant post
master.
Sale of the stamped paper during
the past month exceeded the sale of
April, 1921 by s2,33746. The April,
1922 sale totaled S14,561.63.
Not only does this indicate that
business houses are buying more
stamps and envelopes for mailing pur-
poses, but it also proves that purchase
of the paper from all sources has in
creased.
Another sign, it is believed, is the
sale of United States Savings Certific-
ates. Yesterday, May l, was the day
on which the most certificates were
sold of any day since the certificates
were received at the local postoffice,
Dec. 15,. 1921. Sales Monday totaled
S77S0, and Assistant Postmaster
Deuker said Tuesday that a large sale
was being enjoyed on the second day
of the new month.
Sale in April.
Total amount of certificates sold
during the month of April was $16,640.
This amount makes the total face
value sold since last December, $10,-
900 or $4,000 over the 100000 mark.
The fact that these certificates bear
five percent interest if held until ma
turity, and that they are non-taxable,
is a great factor in their sale, Mr..
Deuker said.
In the rural mail department, evil
dence of growth is indicated in the re-
port by Superintendent of Mails Clar-
enee Foreman, showing that nearly
5000 more pieces of mail of all classes
were distributed by the four rural car
riers during April, 1922 than in April,
1921. While the amount of first and
fourth class mail delivered is a little
under the amount carried in April of
last year, the increase in second and
third class distribution more than
equals the loss in the other two CLASH
fieations.
During April. 1921. there were 84,-
615 pieces of mail delivered on the four
rural routes. In comparison to this
/ report, is the announcement that in
the month just ended, 1891 pieces of
mail were taken to the homes of rural
patrons.
