STRONGER
IN MOIST AIR THAN
DRY, TESTS PROVE
Relative Humidity Increase of
IS to 55 Per Cent Shows
13 Per Cent Stronger.

The strength and elasticity Of leather
are greater when the air is moist than
when it is dry, and for this reason. says
the bureau Of chemistry OF the United
States department of agriculture, it is
important in making comparative tests
of leather to be sure that all pieces
tested are under the same humidity
conditions. A good piece Of leather
tested in a dry atmosphere might ap-
pear TO be weaker than a much poorer
piece tested when the air was moist.
Tests made Of more than 500 pieces
taken from the most uniform part of
the hide, alternate strips being sub
jected to dry air and damp air at a
temperature OF 20 degrees F.. showed
that an increase from 30 per cent rela-
tive humidity to % per cent increased
the strength of the leather Is per cent
and the stretch Is per cent. When the
humidity was raised from So per cent
to Is per cent the average increase in
strength was AZ per cent and in stretch
SO per cent.
1t is apparent that control of the
humidity in a room where leather is
tested is necessary if the results are
to be worth anything. The bureau of
chemistry has devised such a room in
which the amount of moisture in the
air may be kept uniform and at any
percentage of saturation continuously.
II is the only testing oom in the world
where the conditions are controlled so
well.

SHALL WOMEN WEAR TROUSERS?

sort of evening dress will remain a
vague dream.
The fact which makes it seem likely
that knickerbockers will remain popu-
lar is that they have been introduced
naturally, without any suggestion of
dress reform attached to them. The
! vogue of sports brought about sport
clothes. and these became popular be-
cause women were not frightened away
by the words sensible or reform"
! Instead, they were attracted by the
newest styles which happened to COM
bine comfort with novelty. SO long as
knickerbockers continue to be associ-
ated with the latest fashion by reason
of new trimmings, cut, or material,
! they may be expected to rise in favor.
| At any rate, they are here to stay for
actual sport wear.
Mr.. Thompson's Prophecy
Several years ago Vance Thompson,
in his book on Woman" predicted
that women would approach the ques-
ton of trousers by wearing the sort
Of clothes that men wear for hunting,
riding and other sports. Women were
already wearing leather brooches, he
pointed out, for airplane travel. They
wore suitable riding clothes, and were
beginning to wear knickerbockers and
breeches on the golf course. These he
mentioned as signs of women's awaken
ing interest in trousers, and he ap-
proved of the start.
Mr.. Thompson's views on sport
clothes are unusual and interesting. He
says, in part: II do not say that the
dress men wear for sports is the ideal
dress for human beings; but it's the
best We have in our civilization. 1t is
the best thing ONE can get today.
| am perfectly certain that once they
have adopted this kind of dress they
will make many improvements on it.
And the men will be quick enough to
take IN these improvements. So in
the end you will have a tolerable dress
in which human beings, men and wo-
men alike, can go about when they are
concerned in human business.
You see what l am driving at?
The human dress is for humans oc-
cupied in human affairs; it belongs to
men and alike.
Il do not care tuppence how a wo-
man dresses when she Is bent on sex
capture. Then she may put on silks and
~spangles and all the fal-lals that she
has found, by experience, help to blow
g nan down. When she goes out dress
ed like that men will know what she
is about-ard can take to cover.
When, however, a woman is lead
ing the normal life of a human being,
she should (f she has any self
respect) dress like a normal human
being.
And her skirt. just because 1t is
a badge and advertisement of her sex.
belongs on the dust heap-with the
dead bird on her hat"

German B~urglanes
Bring Flexible Key
for Lock Protection

A flexible key. one that will 30 into
and work in atortuous hole, has been
developed in Germany. says the Scien-
tific American. The a robberies
that are constantly reported every.
where have created a demand for such
a key. The wards and the bow are mo-
connected by a stiff stem, but By four
s~uperimposed strands Of ribbon steel,
which prevent any sidewise movement
when the key comes into play. Thus
there need no be a straight-way be-
tween the escutchecn on the front OF
the door and the actual keyhofe in the
lock case, which can be fixed at an
entirely different level, and the point
OF introduction of the locking point.
Between the outside and inside fit
tings there is a tubular channel with
a slit in the bottom to allow the pass
age of the wards. This channel in
German is called Observation-Disclosures
scheme. or literally k~ey-conveying
rail. a word long enough to insure the
prevention Of burglary. The house
breaker is unable to determine the posi-
ton of the locking mechanism. nor can
he open it with a false key, a wire
brush or a tsrip of lead. To blast it
open is out of the question, as the ex-
plosive would fall out through the slit
in the keyway made for the passaa
Of the ward.
The flexible key is no as unweildy
as one might expect. because it can
easily be rolled up into a spiral and
of its legitimate proprietor.

ereign, and whatever else Henry

In commenting on these selec.
tons the Library Digest remarks
while we are talking about the
spiritual leaders of the Christian
era. it is interesting to compare
these E~piscopalian selections with
choices that appeal to Mr.. H. G.
Wells. Bruce Barton, in an inter-
view for The American Magazine,
asked Mr.. Wells this question
"Who in character and influence
has left the most permanent i'm
preston on the world?" Mr.. Wells
in his nswer gave six names in
the following order; Jesus of
Nazareth, Buddha, Aristotle,
Asoka, Roger Bacon and Abraham
Lincoln. OF the importance of the
name Of Jesus, MI. Wells says,
speaking as a historian impartial
as regards religion:
THE world began to be a differ
ent world from the day his doctrine
was preached; and every step to-
ward wider understanding and toll
erance and goodwill is a step in
the direction of universal brother
hood. which he proclaimed.
Readers of Wells Outline of
History" remember his enthusiasm
over the Buddhist king Asoka. In
The American Magazine, Mr..
Wells says of this favorite of his
The monarch l have in mind
lived long before Charlemagne or
even Caesar. He ruled a vast en-
pire which stretched from Afghan
istan to Madras; and he is the only
military monorch on record who
abandoned warfare after victory.
More living men cherish his
memory today than thave ever
heard the name of Charlemagne."
But there is one name on which
Mr.. Wells and the Episcopalians
who selected the nineteen for their
Hall of Fame agree. Both choose
Abraham Lincoln as the bright and
shining star Of the 10Th century.
MI. Wells explains that since
America is the most striking phe-
nomenon in modern history,
America ought surely to have the
right to nominate at least one
member of our list And Lincoln
rather than Washington is chosen
because
America might have imported
her Washington full-grown from
the Old World. She had to grow
her own Lincoln"

HOW TINES CHANGE

THE announcement is made that
1 the public library in New York
has just secured the "Beadle Col
lection" Of dime novels. There are
nearly fifteen hundred of the gaudy
paper covered books collected by
the publishers Of the old dime
novel of about half a century ago.
All the old boys read them, usually
in the barn or in bed by candle
light after the other members of
the family had retired. AS we re
member them they were pretty
good stuff. Many of them Indian
stories or wild west stories, at
least partially founded on facts. In
fact many Of the old timers in
Montana can tell you facts as wild
ly unlikely as any of the stories
we used to read in the Beadle
series of dime novels. We don't
know why the religious people in
those days considered them SO full
of damnation. They we're clean as
mountain air compared to some OF
the sex stuff now running in our
leading magazines. They were ex-
citing stories of adventure, mostly
with a good moral at the close and
the heroine happily married to the
hero and provided with a few beau
tiful children in the closing para
graph Of the last chapter. But the
old folks of that day had an awful
fit over them. They seemed to be
honestly of the opinion that the
boy or girl who read these harm
less effusions was headed straight
for the devil with no chance OF
turning back. Clergymen attri-
buted to them all the evils that
they afterwards attributed to the
demon rum. Indeed, to swallow
a quart of rum in haying time was
considered a much more trivial
sin than to read a dime novel in the
long winter evenings. But now
they are to be opened up to the pub
lie at once and the fact inspires the
New York World to say:
"On July IS the New York Pub
lie Library will place on view the
Beadle collection-1,480 Of those
thin, bright-colored books or PAM
phlets which were known to a pre-
moving picture generation as dime
novels.
"The dime novel was once ana
thema to every respectable COM
munity in the United States.
Preachers thundered against it,
with the ballroom and the cigaret
and the demon rum as one of the
shortcuts to perdition. Careful
mothers warned their boys against

VINEGAR CAN BE
USEFUL TO HOuSEkEEPER

Moisten the stove polish with a few
drops of vinegar instead of cold water.
Only a gentle rubbing will be needed
afterward to produce a bright polish.
When eggs are scarce. add a dessert
spoonful of vinegar and one egg to a
large plain cake for which. without the
vinegar. three eggs would be used.
The vinegar will help to make the cake
light and short" and will prevent it
from having that tough consistency
which is sometimes the result of using
too few eggs in proportion to the
amount Of flour added.
When boiling fish add a few drops Of
vinegar to the water; the fish will then
be quite firm and very white.
If an egg has a very thin shell, or is
Clipped and is likely t. crack when
being boiled, add a few drops of vim
egar TO the hot water.

4 mine and the Henderson mine at Hen
dersonville within few days.
The reopening of these mines will
mark the beginning of the long threat
ened attempt of Pittsburgh coal opera
tors TO place their pits on the open shop
basis. The Montour No. mine is
owned and operated by the Pittsburgh
Coal Company, the largest concern OF
its kind In the world. The Henderson
mine Is operated by the Henderson Coal
and Coke Company and is located at
Hendersonville, Washington county.
Both mines are on the Montour Rail-
