The story thus far.
 Camille Westbrook has journeyed from London to South Africa with her little butterfly friend Dolly Mort inner. who has made the trip to join her husband at Johannisburg. Elliot Glyn is in love with Camille, but be- cause of his poverty does not feel Justified in binding Camille to an engagement.

SWEDEN DOES ORE-THIRD
WORK BY ELECTRICITY
Power Installation Still .Increas-
ing With Rapid Strides in
Scandinavia. ~..

Electricity has conquered one-third
of the entire cultivated area of Swe-
den, according to the latest official
reports. II. DIP.
If Sweden continues electrifying at
the present rate, it will only be a
few years till almost the whole coun-
try will be run: by electricity.
Most of the farms within the cleo
triffed area are now tapping the new
source Of energy, and nearly all the
power used in the daily labor on these
farms Is derived from the high-power
lines which span whole sections Of
the country.
Large power stations deliver most
of the electric energy used in the rural
communities; but in many places the
farmers themselves have installed tur-
bines and built private power stations,
Harvesting for this purpose swift
streams and small waterfalls on their
own properties. Those enterprises,
however. are generally cooperative.
A great deal of the most arduous
farm labor is performed by electrically
driven machinery at a cost far below
the cost of machines propelled by
steam or horsepower, or Of hand labor.
Water is pumped for cattle by elec-
tricity, threshing machines are driven
by electric current, timber is sawed
by motor power, and farm hands are
no longer ordered to cut firewood by
hand because it is cheaper to have
even that labor done by electricity.
Candles have almost disappeared. .
In many cases grain is dried and
cleaned by being passed through cleo
trically driven hot-air tanning ma
chimes. 1t is not uncommon to find on
the larger estates electric elevators
which lift entire wagon loads Of hay
or grain and dump them where desired
in the barns.
One Swedish estate owner has in
stalled an electrically operated irriga-
ton system whereby large field can
be watered in times Of drought. 1t is
now only matter of a short time till
ploWs and harrows will be propelled
by electric power.

Dramatic critics are inclined to
take the view that the English stage
censorship is broadening in regard to
religious plays, probably owing to
the fact that representations Of Christ
have appeared often in the films.
In the past years, several plays
nave been refused licenses because
they included Christ as one Of the
characters. Others received permis-

should appear symbolic Of the con-

CHASTENED BY WAR
Old Travellers Find Port Said
Much Changed City. - /
Gateway to East Has Been Cleaned
Up and Is Now Safe and Nearly
" Respectable.

T Port Said.-Old travellers come
ashore and smile sadly. New travellers
plunge into the stronghold of curio
merchants with surprise and disap-
pointment. Port Said, like the rest of
the world, has been changed by the
war. Port Said, to be quite frank, has
been cleaned up.
Time was when a brief saunter
through the ramshackle bazaar meant
terrific battle with touts. Shady
gentlemen Of all nationalities, most of
them known to the police Of two con-
t1nents, piled their disreputable trades
with impunity. An incredible amount
OF rubbish was carted away by tourists
In memory of few hours stay. Muir
der was pastime after dark, and
many sinister stories were told in the
smoking rooms of departing liners of
Port Said's wicked inhabitants.
Now this gateway to the East is
safe and nearly respectable. The
hand of the A. P. M. has been laid in
no uncertain manner on the under
world which was the real Port Said.
Deportations eased the town Of it's in
ternational 'rogues and vagabonds.
A passport control second to none in
effectiveness keeps tight grip on the
polyglot population. Murder, even
routine robbery, which was a staple
industry on steamer days, is discour-
aged by the representatives of Brit
ish rule.
Gone, too, is the atmosphere Of
piracy and pillage maintained by
brazen guides and other varieties of
profiteers. They we're wont to seize
on amiable and inquisitive tourists
with the persistency Of leech. They
would extract money by entreaties, ar
gument, threats, even violence.
Now the touts and trinket sellers
and ragged bootblacks approach their
prey with marked diffdence. A sin
gle sharp refusal usually suffices to
turn them off. They drop the trail
Immediately they see that no business

MAKES CLOCK IN rs YEARS
Workman, of Delaware, O., Evolves
Elaborate Hand Carved Affair
% From Walnut.

Delaware, O.-After Is years Of
tedious labor, G. G. Cregmile has COM
pleted his construction Of a GRANDPA
ther's clock here. ... #....
The clock, on display in a. local
store window, is hand carved. It was
made out of solid black walnut which
formerly constituted part Of a pulpit
in the old William Street Methodist
church here. @ E>.
All polishing, carving and fitting
was done at odd moments by Mr..
Cregmile.
Standing eight feet six inches high,
the clock is beautifully carved on it's
sides and face panels. All cutting is
original. No design was followed.
Mr.. Cregmile, although offered good
money for the unique masterpiece,
has offered to sell it for relatively
small sum to the William street
church. The clock is built so that it
will house cathedral tubular chimes.
