SOCIETY men WEAR CORSETS
Fad Spreading in England, and SAID

The corset-wearing habit among

an investigator In England.

supplies most society men, puts down

mum. Let no one imagine that 1t ID

OLD RAGS USED IN ROOFING
Discarded Odds and Ends Play an I'M
portant Part in the Nations
Housing Supply.

Old rags play an important part In
the nations housing supply, as most
of the roofs on modern homes are
partly made from them. In the form
of roll roofings and prepared shingles,
old rags cover more American homes
than all other types combined. In the
preparation of asphalt materials Tor
roofing purposes thousands OF tons OF
nags are made use Of every year,
Thrift states.
After the housewife has thrown
away her accumulation Of odds and
ends or sold them to the leathern-
lunged junk man who roams the
streets of all American cities and
towns with his jingling bell, they pass
through many hands before eventually
reaching the factory, where they are
sorted and reduced TO a pulp. This Is
made into a raw, coarse fabric OF long
fiber and great durability. Into every
pore and opening Of this cloth hot as
| phalt is pressed and the material is
then covered on both sides with as
nhalt and crushed slate. The product
Of the process is very durable, wa
terproof solid material which Is used
to cover most American houses.

FATHER OF BLOCK SIGNALING
Name Of William Robinson Written
Large In the History OF Rail-
way Transportation.

An automatic electric system OF
railroad signaling was put into sue
cessful operation for the first time 90
years ago. 1t was the invention OF
William Robinson, and the trial to
which he submitted his signaling ap-
pliances was made early In September,
1872, at the town Of Kinzua, on the
old Philadelphia & Erie railway In
northern Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Robinson is very generally re
ferred to as ''the father of automatic
block signaling" His invention Is
recognized as the forerunner and at
the same time the basis Of practical
" every automatic electric block sig
nal system in use on railroads today
This tribute to his work appeared
In a recent report Of the interstate
commerce commission: Perhaps nc
single invention in the history OF the
development of railway transportation
has contributed more toward safety
and dispatch in that field than the
| closed track circuit.

THE HOME TOWN"

The Star has received some heart
warming lines from Mrs. E. Van Hood
and Miss Marguerite Porter, now in
Longmont, Colo.,, in the high school
of which town Miss Porter is teacher
of music. The lines are copyrighted
by Edgar A Guest, and are as fol-
lows:
1t doesn't matter much be it's build
; "a. ings great or small,
The home town. the home town is the
q - best town, after all.
The cities of the millions have the
sun and stars above,
But they lack the friendly faces of the
~ "a few you've learned to love,
And with all their pomp of riches and
all their teeming throngs,
The heart of man is rooted in the
'=s;' town where it belongs
There are places good to visit, there
are cities fair to see,
There are haunts of charm and beau
ty where at times it's good to
be, -.
But the humblest little hamlet sings
a melody to some,
And no matter where they travel, it is
calling them, to come;
The cities rise to greatness and are
gay with gaudy dress,
There is something in the home town
which no other towns possess.
The home town has treasure which
| asia the distance cannot gain;
1t is there the hearts are kindest, there
the gentlest friends remain;
1t is there a mystic something seem:
to permeate the air,
To set the weary wanderer to wishing
| he were there;
And be it great or humble, it still
u holds mankind in thrall,
For the home town, the home town il
the best town, after all.
