CLEANING polluted oysters.

After several years of effort by the
New York state conservation COM
mission to purify shellfish so as to
make available large areas, suitable
for breeding grounds except for the
presence of some pollution, method
has been found for cleansing oysters
from such grounds so as to make them
edible. This is done by placing the
polluted oysters in shallow layers in
clean tanks full of sea water. With
this is mixed certain amount OF
water, IN which some of the salt has
been electrically changed to sodium
hypochlorite, a compound fatal to dis
ease germs. The oysters are given
two treatments with this mixture, and
at the end Of the process they are
found to be thoroughly purified, With
out any impairment Of their flavor or
digestibility, -Popular Mechanics. 7

New Agricultural Tractor.

An agricultural tractor which is
propelled by feet instead Of by a
wheel is described in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The purpose of the ma
chine is to provide a tractor that will
operate equally well at all times on
ground too soft or muddy for the eff,
fective use of propelling wheels.
Mounted on a pair of steering wheels

plant of automobile type. The sides
and chassis OF the hood are extended
to the rear, and support two piyoted
vertical levers, at the lower ends of
which, in contact with the ground are
flat, horizontal propelling plates. or

Meeting rods and cranks in connection
with the motor, these levers are
caused to move backward and forward
alternately like the legs of any biped,
and the propulsion of one foot contin-

other.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WOOLENS AND WORSTEDS
%. 1922. Harland H. Allen

"Just what is the difference be
tween woolens and worsteds?" is
familiar question to store clerks. And
the answers given ars various: That
wooden is made from short wool and
worsted from long wool; and that wool
is carded and worsted combed, etc.
The best way, probably, to prove to
yourself what the difference is, viii
be to ravel thread from piece of
coarse flannel, which is wooden mate
rial, and compare it with a raveling
from q fine serge, which is worsted.
You will notice that the flbers in the
serge travelling lie even, parallel, and
tightly twisted together. That is what
gives the finished fabric that smooth,
hard surface, showing the weave very
plainly, while the flannel raveling
shows the fiber crisscrossed and lying
In all sorts of directions, with loose
ends that gives woolens their fluffy,
downy appearance. You can see at a
glance that the wooden fibers have not
been combed and Strengthened out to
the same extent as the worsteds.
Making wooden yarn Is the shorter,
easier process. Wooden yarns are used
for such materials as blankets, broad
cloth, flannel, cheviot, kersey and
fancy dress goods where the weave Is
entirely obliterated. In making worst
ed yarn, the wool fbers must be
all cornbed and Strengthened out
until they lie even and parallel as you
saw them In the serge travelling. Many
processes are required for this, and so
worsted goods made from pure wool
are expensive.
The finish of Worsteds and woolens
is quite different. A worsted fabric,
when finished, has a clear, bright we'll
defined pattern, and some close and
finely woven. Generally the weave is
quite distinct. Wooden cloth, on the
other hand, is more elastic, the colors
are more softly blended, and the
threads are not so easily distin-
guished.
In general, good quality of wool Is
used In worsteds. The long, staple
wool is best suited for this pur-
pose, and so is generally the one used.
Shoddies and hard wastes are not used
In worsted yarns, as the long staple
wool cannot have shorter wool combed
into IT,
On account of the close twisting of
the yarn, and the distinct weave,
Worsteds are apt to wear shiny in
places. This can usually be remedied
by dampening the place and rubbing it
with piece of rough cloth, afterwards
pressing on the> wrong side.

Dick felt gleeful and tried hard to

"What's the inconsequential past?

Pleasant dreams.'
Dick turned away then and left the
patio by the opening into the yard.
Nell was really sleepy, and when she
had fallen asleep again he would re-
turn. He walked around for while.
Presently, as if magnet-drawn, he re-
traced his steps to the patio and en-
tered noiselessly.
Nell was now deep in her siesta.
She was inert, relaxed, untroubled by
dreams Her hair was damp on her
brow.
Again Nell stirred, and gradually
awakened. Her eyes Enclosed, humid,

HOW TO BUY YOUR FACE
VEIL

Strangely enough, it was man, q
man milliner, who initiated me into the
knowledge Of veil buying. There is
no detail Of a woman's dress that, as
a rule, she buys so unintelligently, and
adjusts so clunsily as she does her
face veil," he discoursed, as he stood
behind the triple mirror and watched
the saleswoman drape one filmy cloud
and then another across my hat brim.
"And yet the whole effect of smart
street costume can be made or marred
BY this accessory. If veil is dainty,
delicate, and becoming, it can cover
a multitude of SINS" he limited, more
purposefully than gallant, I must adj
NIT.
Perhaps a few suggestions about
veils as he gave them to me, may
help you make your next one look bet
ter and last longer.
If you are a large woman, with pro-
nounced features, you may select wells
with striking patterns and look very
well in them. But haven't you often
seen a small woman with delicate fea-
thres almost hidden under the heavy
patterns that would have been very
becoming to her larger sister If you
have dainty, small features, you
should choose a veil with a small,
delicate design.
And again, when you want veil to
go with small, close-ftting hat,
choose a single-mesh veil; while with
a large hat, where the brim is further
away from the features, the more fig
ured patterns are quite smart and at
tractive.
Care must be used when selecting a
veil that contains spots or large fig
ures that these are placed so they do
not hurt the eyes. If the figures are
placed far enough apart, the veil can
always be adjusted so that the spots
do not come directly in front OF the
eyes.
If you want filmy veil, you must
expect to pay enough to get really
fine mesh. Those made out of stiff
ened cotton are cheaper, but the sticky
dressing soon comes off, and then the
veil easily crumples and tears. Some
women plan to buy these cheaper wells,
wear them a few times, and throw
them away. But the better wells cost
only about twice as much, while they
wear three or four times as long
Having selected your veil carefully,
learn to take care Of it. Don't leave
it on your hat for days together Pin
ming the veil over a pasteboard roll
will keep it from getting stringy.

"Now for some spunk /" he said, I'M

first languorous stage of the siesta

in the hammock. Her sweet, red lips,

Then she was wide awake in a second,

unusual gayety.
"HoW long have you been here?"
''Just got here this fraction of a sec

voice treasured her.

leaped up, and his voice came with a
shrek:
Look out Laddy!'
A big Horse, like a white streak, was
bearing down to the right Of the
ranger Blanco DiabIo! A matchless
rider swung with the horses notion
Gale was stunned. Then he remem-
bered the first raider, the one Lash
had shot at and driven away from the
outlet. This fellow had made for the
mesquite and had put a saddle on
Belongs favorite. In the heat of the
excitement, while Ladd had been in
tent upon the climbing horse, this last
raider had come down with the speed
of the wind straight for the western
outlet. Perhaps, very probably, he
did not know Gale was there to block
it; and certainly he hoped to pass
Ladd and Blanco Sol.
A touch Of the spur made. Sol iunge
forward to head off the raider. Diablo
was in his stride, but the distance and
angle favored SOL The raider had no
carbine He held aloft a gun ready
to level it and fire. He sat the saddle
as If it were a stationary seat. Gale
saw Laid lean down and drop the
400 in the sand He would take no
chances of wounding Belongs best
loved horse.
Then Gale sat transfixed with sus-
pended breath watching the horses
laundering toward him. Blanco Dia-
bio was speeding low, feet as an an
telope, fierce and terrible in his dew
ilish action, horse for war and blood
and death. He seemed unbeatable.
Yet to see the magnificently running
BlancO Sol was but to court doubt
Plain it was the raider could not make
the opening ahead of Ladd He saw
it and swerved to the left, emptying
his six-shooter as he turned.
Blanco Sol Numbered across Then
the race became straight away up the
valley. 1t was a fleet, beautiful, mag
nificent race. Gale thrilled and ex-
ulted and yelled as his horse settled
into a steadily swifter run and began
to gain.
Inc gap between D1aDIO ana sol
narrowed yard by yard. All the devil
that was in Blanco Diablo had its run
ming on the downward stretch The
strange, cruel urge of bit and spur,
the crazed rider who stuck like burr
upon him, the shots and smoke added
terror to his natural violent temper.
He ran himself off his feet. But he
could not elude that relentless horse
behind him.
Then, like one white flash following
another, the two horses cleaned down
the bank of a wash and disappeared
In clouds of dust.
Gale watched with strained and
smarting eyes, The thick throb in
his ears was pierced by faint sounds
of gunshots Then he waited In al
most uncomfortable suspense.
Suddenly something whittier than the
background of dust appeared above
the low roll Of valley floor. Gale lev

He believed she cared for him; but
he could not catch her alone long
enough to verify his tormenting hope.
He had long before enlisted the loyal
Mercedes in his cause; but in spite of
this Nell had been more than a match
for them both.
Gale pondered over an idea he had
long revolved in mind, and which now
suddenly gave place to decision that
made his heart swell and his cheek
burn. He went in search of Mrs. Bel

kitchen.
