SUNSET IN ARABIAN DESERT
Soene Of Remarkable Beauty Under

silver stars.

There is no twilight In the desert.
One moment the sun rides high In the
heavens the next 1t dies in brief, few
moments Of rudy afterglow, and then
at one bound comes the dark. One by
one the stars appear, as when the
lights are turned on at nightfall In a
city, until the purple-velvet sky is cut
across by broad swath of silver dust,
the Milky Way. And so we would fall
asleep, lulled by the murmur of the
Arab voices and the grumbling Of the
camels. Above us a moon that
looked like an enormous silver plate,
and the stars very near. 1t Is usually
late before the camp falls asleep. The
fires die down to beds of glowing en-
bers. The night wind rises, and draw

Of the camels tethered outside the

Try This on Your Links.

Perkins was billiard and pool
"shark" and Watkins had tried for two
years to get good enough to beat him
at the game, but with no luck. Last
year Watkins gave up in disgust and
quit the billiard table for the golf
links. Here he had better success in
becoming proficient, and after one
seasons play. found himself able to
approach within respectable distance
of old Colonel DOGGY.
Watkins borrowed an extra set of
clubs and, after some tall persuasion,
got Perkins out on the links for a
round of golf. Perkins was like flap
per In long skirt Watkins rubbed
it in and gloated over his victim to the
utmost. The game was bit lop-sided
and watkins was soon 10 up on the
IS holes. Perkins. saw how badly
he had been beaten, but he was true
sportsman and a game bird.
"Well, you won that game, l guess,
he said to Watkins. Scratch never
was my game, anyway. Now let's play
a round of call-shot."

MADE ODD BOUNDARY LINE"
Explanation Of Compound Curve That
Settled Dispute Of Early
Colonial Days.

When William Penn obtained q grant
in Pennsylvania he was very DESTROYS
of owning the land on Delaware bay
TO the sea, and procured from the
duke of York a release of all his title
and claim to New Castle and radius
of II miles around 1t, and to the land
between that tract and the sea. Lord
Baltimore protested, but in 1885 the
Lords Of trade and plantation made a
decision in PENIS favor.
The tracts which now constitute the
state of Delaware, Penn called 1.-THE
Territories" or the Three Lower
Counties on the Delaware" They were
governed as part of Pennsylvania for
about 20 years. In 1776 the inhabit-
ants declared them a separate state.
Then ensued long-drawn-out dispute
between Delaware and Pennsylvania
over the northern boundary line. Be-
cause Of the inaccuracy of the original
survey Of 1701, no single curve could
be made to pass through the stones
set up to mark off radius Of II miles
around New Castle. An attempt to
rectify the line was made by the United
States Coast and Geodetlc survey, but
when number Of Delaware residents
found they would be geographically in
Pennsylvania they raised such a howl
that the survey was dropped, and a
joint boundary commission was ap-
pointed to settle the dispute. A COM
pound curve was found to conform
very closely to the original line, so
1t was adopted.

Awake in the stiffness Of the coun-
try, with quiet meadows, white In the
moonlight, stretching beyond your gar
den gate, you hear the approach Of
the wind as he woos your pine trees
to sing with him; for the wind cannot
sing alone; he needs Tyre through
which to sweep his mightiest and his
gentlest songs.
1t is not a rustic, as with pOplars,
but swift, swishing sound, at first
hardly more than the breathing Of a
child, but rising to a powerful Gre
scendo as the boughs flatten under the
mighty sweep Of the wind.
A few moments and the hush fol-
lows, that wonderful vanishing point
of sound, unattained by the greatest
artist SO gentle is the subsidlng
that you hardly know when the wind
left, but the pines are straight and
still again, and the wind is mile away,
stirring the hawthorn buds on the hill
and flinging out their fragrance into
the moonlight.

WANTED: JOBS FOR 10000
VETERANS

Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of
the United States Veterans Bureau,
has isued a call to all veteran or
CARNATIONS to assist him in find
ing suitable employment for some
10000 rehabilitated ex-service men
who will be graduated from the
bureaus vocational training schools
within the next three months. That
is an appeal which must not be in
vain. Not only legionaires but all
employers of skilled labor through
out the countray ought to heed it.
The appeal is not one of charity.
These former sick or crippled SOL
diers and sailors have been educated
by the government at considerable
expense to enable them to overcome
the handicaps suffered through the
war and to become self supporting
and productive citizens. The train
ing was a duty owed to them by the
government in whose service they
had lost their customary earning
power. Now that the government
has almost completed the payment
of its debt the public must do the
rest.
The men involved are highly skill
ed in numerous fields of work.
They can and will earn their own
way and return profit to their
employers if given an opportunity.
It is up to the employers of labor
to find such opportunities for them.
All that is necessary is for every
employer in need of help to write
note to the Veterans Bureau at
Washington or to his local bureau,
stating his requirements, and they
will be filled.
Early in 1924 some 10000 more
will be graduated, and later about
10000 others will follow. To pro-
vide for all as they re-enter civil
life it is necessary that each con-
signment be engaged as soon as it
is ready. The opportunity is one
of service for the veterans, the en-
ployers and the country in general.
All will profit by prompt employ
ment of the rehabilitated men.-Chi-
cago Tribune

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR COFFEE
DRINK ERS

II seems to be the attitude of
some people that anything giving
other people pleasure must necess-
arily have some evil results attend
ant upon it, Such is the attitude of
many people towards drinking coff-
ee. You have been told, (if you like
coffee,) that it will ruin your heart;
that it will give you muddy COM
plexion;" that it will ultimately ruin
your health.
Now comes Professor Samuel C.
Prescott, head of the department of
biology and public health at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, and says that coffee as bev-
erage is not injurious, but on the
contrary, is an aid to both mental
and physical activity. Prof. Pres
colt has made exhaustive investigat-
ions, both by personal experiments
and observations, and by laboratory
research. For the latter purpose an
entire laboratory has been devoted
exclusively to his Investigations.
He is reported in the Literary
Digest as saying, Coffee, if prop
erly prepared, has remarkable
stimulating and fatigue-relieving eff
feet, due to the action of caffein,
which acts ON the central nervous
system. II promotes heart action
mildly, increases the power to dc
muscular work, and increases the
power of concentration of mental

The 'cold window" may be a Joy
forever or it may be a bugbear, so
why not insist on it being a thing
| for joy rather than for draughts
The idea in this sketch is particu-
larly adaptable to old houses with
thick walls and wide window lodges.
The entire window can be fitted with
doors as is shown in the sketch, so
| that when the window is open the
room will be protected from cold
air and draughts. Shelves are built
in the space between the window and
doors--an average space of about
nine inches. The temperature of the
cold window may be regulated by
opening the window-tho frequently
this would not have to be done, as
there is enough cold acquired thru
the cold glass which is chilled from
| the outside.
s. The "cold window" makes an ex-
cellent refrigerator for almost every
thing, particularly milk, butter, eggs
and such staple foods that are al
ways on hand. 1t could be used
equally well for meat and left overs.
as well as for lettuce, celery and
the like--if the main refrigerator is
to be dispensed with entirely for
the winter season. 1t is an ice
saver and added room for the stor-
ing of winter supplies.

WHAT SHE WAS AFTER

Mrs. Skiffington, during the
course of an afternoon call upon
Mrs. Biffington, sought the latter's
advice as to applying for divorce.
WELL" said Mrs. Biffington, up
on the conclusion of her friends
lengthy recital of her woes, "you
have had your marital troubles just
like the rest of us; but really, dear,
to judge from what you have told
me, am not at all sure that you
would be justified in taking this
step. You have no other grounds
for seeking a divorce, have you"
Mrs. Skiffington hesitated mo-
ment and then added: "To tell the
truth, in addition to what have
just said, | have a brother who is
a lawyer and / am very anxious to
give him something to do."-Farm
Life.
