DANGER IN STEEL HORSESHOE
Substitution Of Copper, II Is Believed,
Will Lessen Possibility Of De-
structive Forest Fires.

Copper horseshoes as a means of
preventing forest fires have recently
made their appearance In several Of
the national forests Of the West, and.
If the plans Of certain forestry off,
Gals are carried into effect, this metal
will supplant steel upon the hoofs of
all horses to be used on public do
mains where there is any OF
fire hazard.
According to the supervisor Of the
Angeles National forest, in southern
California, steel h~orseshoes used in
fiinty mountain regions may have been
the cause of some of the mysterious
fires that have started In the forest
reserves. Heavy steel h~orseshoes
striking against flint or hard granite
may readily be the source of sparks,
which, falling into dry grass or other
infiammable material. would quickly
cause 1t to burst into flames If famed
by a breeze.
The new h%orseshoes were given
their first try-out recently in Gala
yeras county. California. - Popular

~JInxesn Were Numerous.

A number Of seawise passengers
aboard the Adriatic, which caught fire
from an explosion on Thursday night,
said yesterday that there was a num-
Der Of signs attending the sailing Of
the ship which were construed as
"jinxes" by the sailors. Among these
were:
The ship lost an anchor In the Mer-
sey;
Nearly hit the Holyhead-D Dublin
ferry;
The birds refused to fly aboard the
ship.
And the explosion occurred very
close to the spot where the Titanic
went down In 1912.

MANY USERS OF TELESCOPE
Dealers Report Practically a Steady
Demand for Glasses In All
Months Of the Year.

ave sell telescopes all the year
round. but the demand for them Is
greater In summer than In other sea-
sons" said the salesman in a New
York opticians shop. Perhaps that
is because 1t is easier to remain out
doors and study the stars on a sum-
mer night thar 1t is when the weather
Is colder.
"Also. in simmer people buy tele-
scopes for other purposes than to
study the stars. Folks on the sea
shore get them to look at passing yes
sells, at the clouds and other things.
We sell some also to those who live
In the mountains and use the tele-
scope for lookout purposes. But of
course, the greater number o -teie-
scopes. especially the h~igh-power
glasses, are bought for the study Of
the heavens.
"Annually we sell an average Of zoe
telescopes for amateur use. They
range In size from the hand glass
with Inch lens, to the glass that IL
supported on a tripod and has a len,
3 to 3h inches in diameter. Larger
lenses than the 31h inch size are sci

Moth-proof Wool.

A moth-repellant has been intro

is claimed. viii positively make the
wool fabric absolutely moth-proof. An
additional advantage Of this product,
known as Eulan F. is that 1t does not
discolor the fabric, SO that the wool
can be dyed In bright shades without
any difficulty The product is a white
powder which does not dissolve very
easily In water. Acid must be added
to make 1t dissolve. In this condition
1t Is used In the textile mill, and 1t Is
preferable to put the wooden fabric
through the moth-proofing treatment
in the factory. Another form Of the
product is sold for use in the house
hold. In this form the powder will
dissolve very easily In wafer. The
wooden fabric is then soaked In the
solution and permitted TO dry. Only a

Look! a Gentleman! What!

1t Is just too much for one man or
one woman to say what constitutes a
gentleman. 1t takes crowd of persons
to recount the many qualities.

Der of replies received this week by
The Ardmoreite. Each day number
of the replies will be printed.
There seemed to be great differ
ence of opinion on this specimen gen
tleman." Some say he must be hon
est, others merely intimate that he
must be honest; others believe he
should not treat the flapper too nice;
others say he should give her the
greatest respect.

to be found in Ardmore, since she says

though he may not tip his hat to every
