an average, the advertisers seem convinced that the Womanly
qualities appealing most to a man are these:

It is characteristic of the young generation that ability to
cook, sew and otherwise keep house are considered secondary

BUSES REPLACE TRoLLEYs

Motor buses are to take the place of trolley ears in Brattle-
boro, Vermont. The street railway tracks are to be torn up and
the trolley line abandoned as soon as the motor equipment IS
ready for operation, which probably win be about September l.
According to news dispatches from the Vermont city, the troll
ley company takes the attitude that it is not bound to continue the
operation of street cars at a loss, but may operate a motor bus
line under the provisions of a law passed by the last session of the
Vermont legislature putting buses under the jurisdiction Of the
Public Utility Commission:
Here isa suggestion for the Jersey Central Traction Company.
Why should a trolley company build and maintain a costly right
Of way with steel rails, overhead wires aud a great power house,
when its rival, the bus company, can get its right of way for moth
ing, using the public highway which is built and maintained by
thestaxpayers2 Bus lines are going to take the place of trolleys
everywhere, sooner or later, excepting possible in the larger cities.
Iut as they do, the highways have got to be made larger in order
to accommodate the increased traffic. Bus stations where the buses
cen pull out to one side to take on and off passengers will have
10 be provided. In all future road building this problem ought to
bgtaken into consideration.

GERMAN CENTER OF BOHEMIA
How the specters of almost for
gotten history and heroes infest the
borderlands of the New Europe IN
illustrated in the reported withdraw
al of home rule from Reichenberg
by the Czechoslovakia government"
Says bulletin from the Washington,
ID. c., headquarters Of the National
Geographic Society.
"Reichenberg is the chief Ger
mar manufacturing town of Bohe-
mia. In respect to political bounda.
+, ries it lies between two small prongs
! which thrust into Germany from the
new republic of the Czechs, Slovaks,
and Ruthenians.
"Glance at a race map OF Eu-
rope and the Czechs seem to be a
| racial peninsula, jutting out from
Slav stock on the east but complete
1y circled by Germans on the north,
| west, and south.
EARLY Bohemian kings tolerated
! German ~colonizers, sometimes In
| vited them in. However whep b.
| hemia finally fell under the Haps-
| burg sway the Czech element formed
a solid core of their state by hold
ing to their land, language, and lit
| erature. The Magyars of Hungary
dominated the Slav element in their
midst much more successfully than
the Austrians controlled the Czechs.
ut is no reflection on the Czech
| spirit to note that the fertile Bo-
hemia plateau land contributed TO
this Czech cohesion, and the Ger.
man fringe begins where natural
conditions replace farms by fac
tories and mines.
"Reichenberg has the Oldest school
of weaving in Europe. Meat ana
malt extracts of the Liebig plant
found their way around the CONNER
cial world. The city's industrial mu-
| scum Is notable. Its exhibits range
from oriental p~orcelains and book
bindings to eighteenth century fur
n~iture. French keys and are OBJ

1t also has a municipal theatre.
Manufacture of cloth Is the city's

has developed cotton, carpen and
linen manufacture, and also has i'm

| of almost 10000 is preponderantly
German, and the strength of the

sistency, a few drops of carbolic
acid may be added to preserve the

@. How does the price of the SYM

These fields are well represented in

with sides of life to which women
nave been more recently introduced.
Thus we find Il kinds of inven-
tons relating to power machinery

The list contains such unfeminine

tons most important crops-corr.

not so surprising that a woman
should .contrlve inventions Of this
sort considering that so many wo-
men have recently been engaged in
making munitions for warfare. The
surprising thing is that some of
the inventions are pishly technical.
These random glimpses indicate
the variety of women's inventions.
The lists begin with agriculture
and end with burial equipment. At
n time or another some woman
has been inspired to invent a MOUSE

The final significant point which

many cases the inventions involve

The Prince Rides out.

The ardors Ct the past day and night
brought deep sleep to the two white
men. Con, who wakened but once in
the night, and then merely to relax
into deeper rest again, noted that the
spaces in the caves were seething with
little ugly men, whose twisted spines
bobbed in a light that was sickish and
cold. The crowd seemed to grow as
the hours passed, as if the innermost
crevices of earth were giving up their
human ants. More hoelike weapons
were brought, to add to the rusty
knives. There were tubes for blow
ing darts, containing now long &C.
emulation of the dust of peace. In
fact, the present generation could not
recall day of revolt in their subter-
ranean history. The Arabian sailor
rushed about all this night like one
possessed his old hopes ignited.
Primitive military system prevailed.
The horde was grouped into units.
There were lieutenants. The white
men when wakened would rank as
colonies, with no less a person than
the Arab as their generalissimo.
The miners seemed lost in a dull
glow of excitement. Within their lives
nothing had occurred to interrupt the
next days labor. The seizing of their
four brothers had not seemed unusual,
but the effect promised an infinity of
new turns. There was no thought of
sleep. The old hum0rs of an uprising
seemed at last about to be fulfilled.
Every tortured heart was eased some
what of it's burden of hate in the pros
pect of action. They had never before
attempted to express their loathing of
the city. of their masters.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Ape Repays.

When he Weakened some time later
his first link of consciousness was that
the altar-fre was out, the air changing !;
and he knew without looking that
Helen was no longer on the other side
of the wall. The same green twilight
suffused the top of the tunnel. He re-
called as from months ago how the
party of dwarfs had drawn aside to
permit him to pass on into this maze
below the palace. Con wondered
vaguely if the whole world were
honeycombed. Then he managed to
rise. and his feet at first were like
diving weights.
Nothing less than his intensity of
emotion lifted him up the notched
barrier again. His arms were shaking,
his eyes dim. Again the greenish glow
in his face. The chamber was empty
now, save for one drugged mandarin,
lying full length in his blue robe, one
gau1ft arm touching the floor. The
altar was dead, and only an oppressive

They had been born to pain, toll, ST.
lence. Home, shop, and grave were
one to them. There were no families.
From some warriors house in the city,
each man-child returned to the pits
crippled forever, its spine an arch of
horror. There was seldom any way Of
identifying the broken creature of ten
or twelve. All thought of parentage
was lost. When, by chance. kinship
was re-established, such meeting was
but a renewal of bitterness.
