WHAT HE WANTED TO KNOW
Delinquent Subscriber Evidently Had MenTal Use for Great Organ Of
 Public Opinion.

The editor of the Smalltown Bugle, like some others of his brethren, ex- periences considerable difficulty in per Suading his subscribers to come for ward, from time to time, with the an- nua1 subscription price. If it Is agree able to you," he finally wrote to one hardened delinquent, q will accept two bushels of corn in payment of the amount you owe me-" "I regret to say" responded Farmer Brown, in due course, "that in feeding my stock I have used all the corn I raised" Dear MT. Brown" began the next letter of the series, "'inasmuch as you have used all your corn, I presume you have a large supply of corn cobs on hand, and I would be glad to accept a load thereof in payment of the amount due from you, as I can use them in place of kindling wood" ''Mr. Editor" replied the farmer by the next mail, your letter has been received and contents noted. What want to know is this-what in Sam Hill do you think I'd want with your raper, if I had a supply of cobs to use in kindling es?'-San Francisco Argonaut.

Mythical Mines.

There are frequent reports of parties of men in California going out into the desert in search of lost mines, such as the Gunsite, the Lost Cabin, the Cement Lode, the Pegleg and many others, which perhaps existed only in the minds of the original finders. For example, the Gunsite was so named because a prospector found some where between two mountains what he thought was a rock and when he brought 1t to Los Angeles had 1t fashioned into a gunsight and learned that it was pure silver. Then he so named what he thought was a mine. He made several trips, but failed to locate it.
 He did not know that any more such pieces of rock" could be found there, but so presumed, and this led to the death of ten or twelve prospectors at different periods.-J. M. Scanland in the Los Angeles Times.

Women Making Garments

ing almost daily for which the dress form was 6 great convenience. Here are the details of Elizabeth Browns wardrobe, which required a cash outlay of $1OS.34. conserva- tive estimate places the cost of equiv alent ready-made garments as good in quality at $21O.
 After pricing coats in the stores and finding that she could not buy one of the quality or kind that she wanted for less than $50, Elizabeth decided to make her own winter coat with the aid of the dress form. She bought tan broadcioth and good lining material and made it herself for a total outlay of $24.61 A blue voile dress with a slip, was next attempted Commercial hemstitching for trim ming was $1.S5 bringing the cost of very useful dress up to $11.O9. A tissue gfngham dress came to $6.33, including organdie for trimming and also hemstitching; another gingham dress made out of scraps and a rem nant cost only 45 cents.
 Dresses for Social Affairs.
 A dress of pussy willow taffeta and georgette crepe served for informal social occasions. The investment of $16 for materials produced a dress tIidI cOulu uOt uaN0 been bought TcdOy made in the same quality for less than $35. Similarly Elizabeth's business dress of serge and crepe de chine would have been priced at $40 or more if made of the good fabrics for which she paid $1S.39. Her evening dress, which was of taffeta and silver lace, cost only $21, although 1t was modelled after one seen in store at a much higher price.
 This wardrobe, augmented by two made-over dresses for which new materials had to be purchased, bring ing the entire expenditure up 10 $1OS.34, is not elaborate. It is suffi- cient for the particular needs of the wearer, who remarked in this connec- tion that because of having a variety of clothes this year she had been able to attend many enjoyable social af- fairs which required more than busf- ness clothes.
 Without the aid of the dress form it Is doubtful if any business girl in the time at her disposal could make so many garments. Elizabeth, at any rate, did not believe so; in addition to her other activities she made ten dress forms for other girls, holding meetings at which more than fifty altogether also learned how to make the forms and were enabled in turn to demonstrate this convenience to others.

WORLD WAYS HAD "CANDY"
Honey Probably Is Earliest Form of Sweetenino Known, and 1t Was
 Made Use Of.

The Egyptians made candy as well as pyramids, and made candy without sugar. Sugar and chocolate were un- known to the Egyptians. They used honey as their sweetener, and flour and crude starch were the basis of their confectionery.
 In the Middle ages what we would call candied fruits was the principal confection. They were boiled in honey. AS a business the druggist was the first candy maker. Sugar at that time was considered a drug and from coating drugs with sugar the pharmacist learned to coat nuts and other things. In the Sixteenth century sugared roses were considered the best of confections. It was not until the Seventeenth century that sugar became big industry. and it was fin the latter part of the century that confectioners were recognized as a distinct class. In the first half of the Eighteenth cen tury the first real candy factories ap- peared. It was about that time that lemon and peppermint drops became popular.

cenxlneIna Araumsnts

A counsel for the defense once got the better of Judge Bramwell. He requested leave to address the jury in Welsh, of which Bramw ell was ignorant. It was a simple case, and permission was given. Counsel said only a few words, and the judge left the decision to the jury with little comment from him. He was, however, startled at the prompt verdict of ac- quittal.
 "What was it," he inquired after ward, 'that the learned counsel said to the jury?''
 "Oh," was the reply, "he just said This case, gentlemen, lies in a nut shell. You see yourselves exactly how it stands. The judge is an English man, the prosecuting counsel is an Englishman. the complainant is an Englishman- But you are Welsh, I am Welsh, and the prisoner is Welsh. Need I say more?

ICE IN HOME IS NECESSITY
Can Be Made to Last Considerably Longer if Covered With Few
 Newspapers.

Although quite expensive, ice in the home is a necessity and not a luxury. For that reason it is very desirable to make it last as long as possible While 1t is true that most of the re frigeratOrs and ice boxes are reason ably well insulated, at the same time the life of the ice can De prolonged from one-fourth to one-third provided it is we'll covered with five or six thicknesses of newspapers. The best way to put this paper on is to spread it over the top and sides of the ice, taking particular pains to see that it is we'll covered in front where the door closes.

This type of dress form is made by past ing. over a tight-fitting vest worn by the model, several layers of the gummed paper which comes for bundle wrapping. When the paper casing is cut off the model and fastened together 1t is a stiff, light but perfect reproduction of that per sons form.
 Elizabeth Brown, of course, had the counterpart of her own figure to use as she worked. She did her sewing after office hours, finding time never theless to enjoy wearing the clothes frequently at pleasant social gather ings It would be impossible to es- tfmate the amount of time this simple device saved Elizabeth when it came to designing, measuring, pinning or fitting. Parts could be pasted accur- ately in place right on the form and sewed up without delay; patterns could be adapted, draperies hung, dresses designed entirely.

Group of Business

(Prepared by the United States Department
 Of AGriculture.)
 A great deal has beel written and said on the cost of women's clothes, with special attention to the attire of the business woman and the amount of money that should be spent on dress in proportion to what is earned. The United States Department of Agriculture has received an interest ing record of what can actually be done when a sensible girl makes up her mind that she ought to keep her clothing expenses down to a minimum and at the same time look attractive ly and appropriately dressed both at the office and at social affairs outside of business hours.
 In the first place the premise must be granted that the most successful way to reduce the cost of a commod- ity is to eliminate as far as possible the items of labor and distribution cost A girl who cannot sew has little chance of reducing her clothing budget unless she meets with extraordinary luck in finding bargains. One who is willing and has the time to substitute some of her own labor for that rep resented in the price of the ready made garment is on the road to real economy.
 The business girl may justly claim that she has little time or energy to make clothes for herself, when her day at the office Is over. In the case of skilled sewer, however, who enjoys an occupation that is a change from desk work and has a creative element, both the time and energy may be found.

HAND IN HAND ONCE MORE.

Not so long ago there was a confer
ence between the premiers of France
and Great Britain that resulted in an
understanding regarding the calling Of
an economic conference concerning Eu-
rope. 1t was following that decision
that Premier BRAND tired of the atti-
tude that was taken concerning his pol
icies and the criticisms that were aimed
at his motives and suddenly resigned
That upset the situation bit and be-
cause there was uncertainty regarding
the position of France there was de-
sire for the postponement of the Genoa
meeting. This made necessary q meet
ing of premiers again and with Poincare
representing France that has taken
place and understandings and agree
ments have been reached which do not
differ much from those that were the
outcome of the meeting some weeks
ago. 1t is agreed that, there should be
such a conference as planned at Genoa.
that France and Great B7itaih should
stand and work together, that there
should be a restriction of the purpose
Of the conference and that Germany
and Russia shall be admitted when re-
quirements have been complied with.
Thus everything seems to be harmoni-
Gus again between the cross-channel
countries In other words though there
has been change in the head of the
French cabinet there doesn't appear to
be much difference between the Poin-
care and the BRAND views. When they
get down and lock The situation square
ly in the face they see the same facts
and they understand that the sam1
moves need to be made to meet them
Thus when Poincare reaches an agree
ment with Lloyd George he isn't SC
much opposed to the BRAND policies as
was indicated by his previous state
| ments.
With the virtual endorsement Of tht
| BRAND arrangement there are reasons
| to feel that a period of misunderstood
| ing has been bridged and that hence
| forth France and Great Britain vii
work hand in hand as had been previ-
ously intended and as conditions re
quire. The delay in the date of thu
! Genoa conference Is only a matter of :
month but that time can be put to goo:
use in preparation.

Thus It would appear that II expert

A GOOD MOVE,

When Il IS announced that the opera
tors and miners have agreed to meet in

bring 10 reach an agreement there can
be nothing but a feeling Of approval on

here is a belief that anything will be
actually accomplished. It IS move
looking toward adjustment. however,
md FOR that reason # is certainly to be
welcomed. It is in fact the very course
which ought 20 be expected and If there
IS a fair consideration Of the facts and
conditions there ought TO result such an
agreement as will avoid trouble, make
unnecessary a strike and therefore over
come the possibility Of curtailed pro-
duction with the inevitable jump in
price because Of an existing or threat
sned shortage.
While the willingness to meet in
conference may not mean that either
side has Withdrawn from the position
previously taken. IL seems likely that
some consideration will be given to the
Justification for the demands Of both
sides in the light Of present day con-
sitious.

lstense FOR two years ends with the first
