Herbert. He was impressive. And
then. because she was loyal clean

into a furious rage at the abominable
impetinence of this wretched man,
John Morrison. Herbert was right
he was an insubordinate swine. How
dare he-how dare he-hand her such
note? He ought to be sacked at
once. She would tell Herbert about
1t after lunch, and he would explain
matters-of course. he would explain,
Of course!

BY-PRODUCTS

THE Standard OIL company has
1 found a way to utilize all the
residue from the distillation of pc
troleum. Gasoline, now one of the
chief products of the concern was once
by-product. All the coal tar de-
rlvatives, from which many drugs and
medicines are made, are by-products.
So are paratfin, candles, and hundreds
of other articles In every day use.
The Standard OH company is big
concern. 1t has thousands of tech
nically trained experts at work for 1t.
1t has plants all over the world-the
biggest plants of the kind in existence.
Such an institution can well afford
to go into the business of making by
products, and TO expend a part of its
almost limitless energies in getting
all that is possible out of the crude oil
which flows from its wells.
But the business of developing by
products Is for corporation, and a
big one-not for an individual.
You may fancy that you can throw
off by-products easily as you do your
daily work. You may believe, If you
are bookkeeper that by spending
a few nights writing moving picture
scenarios you will be able to utilize all
your brains, instead of part of them.
If you are young professional man,
with little to do, you may imagine that
you can take up novel writing, or act
ing, or bridge playing as q side line,
and thus get rich while you are wait
Ing for success in your profession.
1t is possible that you will get rich
at one or the other of these things
But If you do, 1t will be because you
have dropped your profession and de-
voted yourself to the by-product.
Anthony Hope, who wrote The
Prisoner of Zenda' was trained as
barrister but he had no briefs, and
wrote stories to while away the hours
he was waiting for clients He sue
ceeded as novelist because he was
born to write, but he stopped being
lawyer as soon as his first book was
published.
IN this world a man can learn to do
one thing fairly we'll The time he has
is better spent on that one thing. Be
gin to scout around for by-products
of your brain. and you will soon so
scatter your energies that you do moth
ing we'll.
If you want to write movie" see
narlos, write 'em, but don't try to keep
a set of books at the same time. 1t

who are making big wages today were
all satisfied to spend all their spare
time learning how TO keep books

Tuesday night President Stanley Ogg
named the outing committee for 1922.
He at the same time submitted a COM

difference shown in organized labor's
affairs on the part of some of the
delegates While the sayings in his
communication might seem little
bit pointed" yet every word is true,
and some of the delegates seemed to
think that President Ogg might have
gone a little farther and yet not over
reached the facts. Following is the
communication and committee:

SHUT OUT WATER AND DUST
lczt Closing of Nostrils of
Seal and Camel.

Most of US when we go in for diving
have the very unpleasant experience
of getting our nostrIs full of water.
Nature did not design man TO be a
diving animal, otherwise she would
have been as clever with his nose as
she has been with seals, London Tit
Bits says.
The seal is, without doubt, the clev
crest diver In the animal world, and
his nose is very ingenious contriv-
ance indeed. Each nostril Is provided
with muscles which close II hermetical-
ly al the owners will. And the shape
Of the nose is such that when the nos
trils are closed not drop Of water
can enter
With sealssthe closing of the nostrils
at the moment OF diving has become
an automatic process
This Is wonderful enough, but we
can see u still more remarkable appli-
cation OF the same principle in an anil
NAL as far removed from the seal as
chalk is from cheese.
The seal Is a water animal. The

camel, an inhabitant Of the driest
parts Of the world, the waterless,sandy
deserts. Now, why should the camel
