 In Keeping

L'ANSE, Mich, Oct. 13,-(By Asso- ciated Press.-Peqr amins, nine miles to the north of LAnse, is Henry Ford's town. The highest rent there is S1 a month. electric light and water are furnished at cost the doc tors bill is never more than $150 a month, and fuel famines are un- known.
 The Detroit automobile manufac- turer acquired possession of Pc quaming recently from Charles He- bard and Sons, incorporated lumber men of the peninsula.
 When the town was built in 1871 the owners set about to make It something different from other lum- Der towns. They wanted a commit nity of comfortable homes and happy, contended workmen. They seemed to employees than they did of the profits of their enterprise.

POWER C0MPA BUSY MEETING BIG DEMAND
With Rivers At Low Ebb, Gorgas Plant Delivers 30,OO0 Horsepower

Figures released Saturday indicated that the Alabama Power company has successfully met the largest demand ever made upon their system lat a time when water in Alabama rivers has been close to the lowest ebb in history. The maximum demand upon the Power company system on Octo- Der s was over 175,OO0 XVII, the largest load ever demanded.
 To meet this demand at low water season it was necessary for the Power company to operate every steam plant at full capacity. Gorgas' Gadsden and even the small Birming- ham plant of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company each contributed it's full capacity to south ern industry. The government steam plant at Muscle Shoals, which is now connected with the Alabama power system, delivered close to 30,0O0 rosepower to meet the emergency of the drought and was prevented from delivering its full capacity only by the limitations of the current which can be delivered by present lines.

MARKS USELESS, MANY NOW SWAP ARTICLES
City Dwellers Invade Farms To
 Trade For Milk And Eggs

LEIPZIG, Oct 13.-(By Associated Press.)-The peasants of Germany have food on their farms, but they won't sell it to the cities because the only medium of exchange offered them has been paper marks, which they regard as worthless. Hence the farms have accumulated large stocks of butter, poultry, cheese, eggs, po- tatoes, honey, pigs, and calves, while city people crowd the stores with bundles of paper marks in their hands, but find nothing to buy.
 The solution has been return to first principles. Dealers in food, and individuals seeking to fill their own larders, now travel out to the coun- try in carts loaded high with great bundles of sugar, candy cocoa, pipe tobacco, cigars, coffee, tea, candles, kitchen utensils. etc., all articles they can buyiin the cities with their paper marks, and exchange them on the spot with the farmers.

OYSTER TIME IN PARIS
Parisian Makes A Rite Of Choosing
 His "Daily Dozen"

His "DaiIy Dozen"
 The advent of September is hailed with joy by the Parisian; theaterland reawakens, for one thing, and, for another, the oyster season begins.
 At this time of year in nearly every street or boulevard at least one cafe patron gives over part of his terrace to the oysterman. This worthy puts up an imposing wooden structure, generally of dark green painted shelves, over a miniature counter, with an oyster opener af- fixed on block.
 The stall is embellished with lemons, a mass of dark green foliage and seaweed, and flanked with straw mating, while the oysters are dis played in small, square hampers.
 The oysterman may offer you the homely Portuguaise at a franc and a half a dozen, or he may display whole range from the Portuguaise of the man in the street to the expen sive Marennes, the Belon, and the Cancale of the epicure, running up in price to 10 to 14 francs the dozen.
 Most Frenchmen have their favor ite cafe for partaking of dozen oys- ters and a glass of chablis or light white wine This is a daily cere- mony, and here, as Tn all other mat ters, gastronomic, the Frenchman is most particular about choosing his dozen" and almost invariably he begins with a discussion on oysters in general, and his favorite brand in particular.
 Most of the oysters eaten in Paris come from the coast around Lorient and the neighborhood of Arcachon, on the Bay of Biscay.-St. John E. Bowling, in the Continental Edition of the London Mail.

DIV0RCE-PR0OF WOMAN
Never Pick a Blond, Judge Advises
 WOuld-Be Husbansd

Judge Graham Of the San Francis co superior court has just issued a series of instructions to young men ! on how to pick a "divorce-proof" wife, The judge recently gained world wide publicity by making a statement to the effect that no bob haired woman had ever joined the melancholy procession of would be divorcees through his court. has much as he averages 1,500 cases a year. 1t is evident that the jurist knows whereof he speaks
 Inasmuch as 1t Is the men who have to dig deep into their pockets for alimony money If the marriage Is a failure, it is evident that it is an inn portant matter for the youth to as certain whether the girl of his choice Is one who would lightly sever the matrimonial ties. To do this all ho needs is to catalogue the woman's features and the shape of her head
 She should have high cheek bones and large nose. These features go with the energetic type that is just hungry for hard work. They are also well balanced and not disposed to the weeps, femininity's most dead ly and annoying weapon. Noses that turn up. whether designated as pug or retrouse, should be passed up by the wife hunter; these danes will lend an all-too- willing ear to the temptings of some gay deceiver.
 If possible, ascertain whether she has a high, square head. denoting the calm. well balanced type. To leearn this, however. would require a deal of finesse. as most women, no mat ter how madly infatuated. would ob- ject to having their skull bones thumbed and probed. q moderately full and short upper lip indicates an unsuspicious nature and a great pride in personal appearance. If the girl of your heart has firmly de- veloped jaw and chin, rounded but not square, then leau her to the altar in triumph. She will never hale her husband into the alimcnv court
 The judge has one final word of warning: Never marry blond" He comes out unhesitatingly in favor of brunettes as wives and further em- nhnsizes his belief by stating: "Th~ blondes gre aggressive, practical, material, matter -of-fact, restless, and fond of variety. They like to roam and, unless the home is on four wheels, they do not make good mates as rule" And, if the fair-haired
