tier HOMES
ARE EASY To
ACHIEVE
Untold Wealth Not Needed to
Create Place That Is
Cheerful.

The old saw about It's the little
things that count is the maxim
that is put to good use by the mod
ern home-maker. She DOES not need
untold wealth or an immense va
riety OF equipment to create a home
that is cheerful and smoothly run.
She knows, by bitter experience, II
not by the gift Of intuition. how the
little things" will stand her in
good stead.
For instance, that so small a
thing as an electric iron can smooth
away many wrinkles from household
difficulties, that washing machine
allows her not only more time anu
liberty, but permits an lnIlnNe ~.
greater number of wash suits, SILK
shirts and tub frocks for the entire
family. She has found that this
last.named device. together with an
electric cleaner and several small
table appliances, obviate the serv-
ices of a maid and that doing It
the electrical way" actually saves
her many dollars as well.
In a. word. it isn't how you buy,
it's what you buy that matters.
Moreover, electrical devices are like
every other marketable article. You
get what you pay for. II you are
interested only in saving money on
the initial purchase, regardless OF
the fact that the higher-priced ar.
ticle is really an investment, YOU
will get but poor return on your
expenditure. Quality counts every
time, and it is this that makes one
make more expensive than another.
During Better Homes Week, many
a woman will start ''ridding up" her
home by substituting first-class cleo
trical appliances for firing old-style
methods of housekeeping; discarding
the broom for the vacuum cleaner,
the stationary-tub method Of wash
ing for the electric washer, sad
irons for the rapid and tireless
ironer. to say nothing Of Tightening
the preparation of meals by the
use of handy table appliances
Homes are indeed made better,
more comfortable, and are run far
more easily by the women who lean
heavily upon electrical service. It's
a step saver. a time maker, and a
comfort bringer

GIVES CASH FOR
TWO OBJECTS
ALIKE
Freeport PhiIanthropist Has
Novel Way of Stimulating
Interest in Nature.
BY MARGERY REX,

Written for Cosmopolitan News Service
NEW YORK, June 1S.-Are any
two natural objects exactly alike?
Struck by the variety of natures
| output, q resident OF FreepOrt, Long
Island, today offered a 5000 reward
to any man, woman or child who
comes to see him bearing two such
articles as we have described that
shall be exactly alike in appearance
| and structure.
Up to, but not including last sum.
mer, the Freeport philanthropist
was willing. to put his hand down
in his pocket and bring up a new
SIS goldpiece every time anyone
could show him when Mother Earth
repeated herself.
Later the Long Island sportsman
increased his offer to $50.
This is the idea of Mr.. Hotten-
roth:
IF the offer had no other effect
than stimulating natural education
in biology, natural history and the
other sciences, 1t served a useful
purpose.
Children Enjoy Sport.
"Children at the beaches and in
rural sections of the State FIRE.
quentIy enjoyed instructive pastime
hunting for the treasure, with the
reward as an objective. Many
pleasant day was spent by groups
of little ones who interestedly com.
pared notes and incidentally devel.
oped q keener insight into natural
growth and evolution"
And that isn't all; further to en-
courage little boys and girls to
match pebbles, wild hop blossoms
and quarters. Mr.. Hottenroth is
purse of $500 for next years re-
ward.
The objects must be natural, our
naturalist friend specifies, which
eliminates those two identical
poached eggs you get in a restau-
rant when you ask for just one:
the pair Of So marked down to SO
cents silk stockings which are not
and never were anything alike; the
two skin Russian sables, only ono
OF which is a Muscovite, the other
never having been to the theater in
its life.
It's too bad when you come to
think OF it that you can't send in q
rattlesnake and false friend yoked
together as natural duplicates,
WHICH, II not alike III dppcATduCCt
are similar in structure.
Old Wheeze About Twins.
OF course we all remember the
old wheeze Of the chap who met
one Of a pair of twin sisters that
he knew and remarked: "Anabel,
you look more like your sister than
she does" Mark Twain built a
good yarn out OF the loneliness Of
each poor thumbprint.
We've never taken the trouble to
check up on 1t, but our cosnic spies
tell US no two leaves of q tree are
alike, no two specimens of fruit
or vegetable. no two Democrats or
Republicans.
Many people go through life be-
lieving that all walters are identical.
They look about and ask, Are you
the waiter who waited on me:"
without considering that the waiter
could reply, Are you the old turtle
who ordered the pheasant"

IEERS BAT SAVE TOWN RIVER
Acres of Dead Fish on
Coast Thought to be
Volcano Victims

KINGSTON, N. c., June 21.--
The presence Of literally acres
of dead fish along Bogue banks
and Onslow bay, N. c., has been
the cause Of wonderment among
local fishermen the past few
days. Thousands Of them have
been washed ashore. The theory
that dynamiting had caused it is
not accepted. There have been
no bombing operations Of army
or navy seaplanes off this coast
recently.
Several old fishermen say
that whenever the great vol
canos in any part Of the world
become active, great numbers Of
fish perish along the fishing
banks for some unaccountable
reason.
Many dead sharks have been
washed ashore, also, their bodies
bearing no marks Of injury.
During the activity of Mt. Vesu-
vius a number Of years ago
many ships sailed for several
days through seas Of dead fish
off the American coast, fisher
men declare in support Of their
theory.

and several seriously wounded as
a result Of the Jail rush, no further
attempt to obtain the negro Is ex-
pected from people Of Savannah.
The coroner's jury returned 4
