Not in the Ritual. but Effective.

General Pershing tells the story of
a volunteer battalion of rough back
woodsmen that once joined General
Grant. He admired their fine ply
sique, but distrusted the capacity of
their uncouth commander to handle
troops promptly and efficiency in the
field, so he said:
Colonel, l want to see your men
at work; call them to attention and
order them to march with shouldered
arms in close column to the left flank"
Without a moments hesitation the
colonel yelled to his fellow ruffians:
Boys, look wild thar! Make ready to
thicken- and go left end-ways. Tote
yer guns Git
The maneuver proved a brilliant
success and the self-elected colonel
was forthwith officially commissioned.

WRITING ALMOST A LOST ART
Typewriter Has Practically Put the
Pen Out Of Business, With
Some Unfortunate Results.

Who remembers the old days when
men of commerce and industry wrote
good business hand"-when hand
writing was one of the accomplish
ments and letters written In ink could
he read with small effort? asks the
Nations Business. Handwriting has
gone out of style because it gave way
to something infinitely better. 1t was
the old story. Hard work could not
compete with machine work-the pen
could not compete with the type
writer.
But we view with sorrow the fact
that the decline and fall of handwrit-
ing has also meant the decline and
fall of the business signature. You
pick up the ordinary business letter
these days, and while the body of
the communication stands forth in
clean-cut Typography, you are lucky
If you can make out the signature.
Unless you know who wrote it, the
name may be anything from "Blatz"

APPRECIATED GIFT OF SHOES
Mismated Footeear Eagerly Welcomed

A shoe factory in Boston recently Of

ment of mismated shoes-offered them
doubtfully, not knowing whether such
a gift would be acceptable. Neverthe-
less, the gift was joyfully accepted by
the organization, and the odd shoes

Too Much for AirpIane.

Efforts to make use of airplanes
for the purpose of assisting In the eff
forts to scale high mountains have
not been attended with any great sue
cess. In the Alps the varying condi-
lions of the snow surface has been a
serious detriment to making landings
and getaways" Again, on heights
above $4,000 feet the rarity of the
air begins to affect the steering and
control Of an airplane. At 10000
feet, pilots say, control for landing is
doubtful and at still higher levels 1t
is impossible. OF course, planes have
climbed to more than $4,000 feet with
the pilots kept alive by oxygen. But
these have been straight up and down
achievements. This Is largely why
the airplane idea has been given up
on Mount Everest.

BACK TO TENT-SKIRT DAYS7
Hoop Craze, 1t 10 Reliably Reported,
Threatens to EnguIf Woman
kind Once More.

! The jazz skirt Is doomed. Those
who have refrained from drinking
wood alcohol for fear of going blind
during the brief skirt epidemic need
have no such conjunction in the fu-
ture. A French fashion journal says
the hoop skirt will be all the rage
within one year, writes Roy X. Moul-
ton in the New York Mail.
The first hoop skirt was designed by
Omar the Tentmaker and the idea
was later used by P. L. Barnum to
house his congress of freaks and ami
mails. So far as history goes Omar's
design was first used as skirt by the
late lamented Queen Elizabeth.
When Queen Liz fioated out of Wind
sor castle to take the air she resem-
bled a full-rigged ship sailing before
the wind, with everything working,
including the foretopI spinnaker and
jibs. She occupied so much territory
that she had to speak In loud tone
of voice to be heard by her large cir
Gle of admirers. They used to hold
the six-day bicycle races around the
edge of her skirt.
In those days the woman herself
merely acted in the capacity of Gen.
ter pole for the tent she wore and
when she was overtaken by a high
wind 1t was customary for her flunkies
to stake her gown to the ground
around the edges.
There was a lull in the hoop skirt
epidemic for some time, and hoop
skirts broke out in this country along
about the Civil war period. They
didn't exactly cause the war, but they
may cause one this time.

Big Price for a Flower.

Ten thousand dollars is an eXtraor-
binary price for a single plant; yet
it was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in the United
States, the Catteleyagigas alba. This
Catteleya was Powered in 1910 and ex-
hibited at an orchid show in the
United States, where it was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found
In 1909 in a lot of other specimens of
Catteleya gigas. 1t was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for a dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most of it's companions had been
disposed of this one, with some others
that were not in very good condition,
was set aside. Finally, all the speci-
mems were potted. To the great sur
prise of the horticulturists when, next
spring, the plant came up it was with
pure white flowers. The plant was
sold in London for perhaps the highest
figures that an orchid ever brought.

More Dwelling Houses.

80. There was a decided increase in the
construction of dwelling houses in this
country during the first ten months of
1921, according to information obtained
by the civic development department
of the National Chamber of Commerce.
Construction figures furnished by
A important cities show that during
the period from January to October of
last year about 1908, 100000 went into
new construction, while during all 1920
the total in the same cities was only
SS,000,000 more. During the shorter
period this year $40 per cent of the
total was for dwelling houses as
against only 36.1 per cent in 1920. 1t
is believed that the dwelling percent
age will be larger when all figures
are in.

SANG AS GUEST, NOT ARTIST
ton Only When He Appeared on
the Stage.

Jean de Reszke is a great gentle.
historical Polish family, but in his
own dignity Of character and of bear
ing. The famous tenor, now retired
is living at Nice.
He found himself naturally at home
within social portals then inaccessible
to the world of artists she was an aris-
tocrat among the most aristocratic.
He insisted on this, not blatantly, of
course; he would not have been an
aristocrat if he had; but in the i'm
portant particular that he accepted
remuneration only when he appeared
ON the stage; never as a guest of So
ciety.
A little anecdOte of the time will H.
lustrate how De Reszke insisted on
thus remaining guest. A great finan-
cier invited him and his brother to one
of his great banquets, and at the end,
naturally, the artists were asked to
sing. They did so. Then the host,
who was generosity itself-it was, in
fact, the late Alfred de ROthschild-
presented them two blank checks.
Herewith dilemma; on the one
hand two proud aristocrats asked to
break their rule of accepting notice
for a performance in social life, on
the other, an act of seeming rudeness
in refusing what was meant to be a
from a host.
They settled the matter by accept
ing the checks, and sending them back
next day blank and torn.
