 no money executing a small life insur- ance. She was living in a place where she could arrange to have the baby taken care of for an hour or two once or twice a week. She would come. to a customer early in the day; the cus- toner would have the materials ready, and tell her what was wanted. She would do the necessary cutting, perhaps take patterns and go home. In few days she would come to give a fitting, one being generally all that was needed l; if more than one were necessary, how ever, she would come once again before finally bringing the finished order. The plan worked-conveniently
 If one is not up to cutting and fit ting dresses, for older people, a splen- did work for those who must stay at home is making clothes for babies and young children. Naturally, one must be able to do very fine handwork for this, for that is the main charm of baby dresses. For any woman who is able to do this there is a real chance to make considerable money. She can sell to shops as well as to individuals. But if she becomes known to a few people, I am sure she will soon have all the

 To start such a venture you should first think up a name that will attract peoples attention. If possible, get one store to sell your goods for you, either on a commission basis or buying cer- tain amount outright. Get out some attractive and, if possible, novel cir culars. These should give list of what you have to offer, with prices and the statement that you will take mail orders.
 There is a certain woman in the south who has made capital out of the fact that her preserves can be found at no shop. She sends circulars Every at tractive ones) to large number of peo- ple each autumn, with order blanks at tached and all descriptions, prices and smallest quantities she will send clear ly marked. Her vegetables, fruits and jellies are so excellent that she has built up a larg business entirely inde- pendent of assistance from any store. She now has a few people to help her, as the business has grown so. But all the preserving, putting in jars, receiv- ing and mailing the orders is done at her own home.

tige through power or social position physical strength, or a dominating per sonality are some of the things which magnetize the acts and words of their possessors with a suggestive influence Difference of age also plays a part here, greater age being associated in the child's mind with greater strength and greater knowledge.
 Still another cause of the great in. fluence of suggestion is the scarcity of ideas common in childhood and in ignor- ant adults; both are extremely credu- lous, accepting statements as true with out adequate proof, and acting promptly upon hearing them.
 Suggestion may often be used in. stead of orders, whenever there is a chance of consulting the child's own preferences; in so doing you are initi-

SHIFTING DESERT SANDS
 THREATEN WESTERN TOWN

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2S.-Kelso, community of about 500 people situated on the Moiave desert north east of here is threatened with de- struction by the shifting sands of the desert.
 Three years ago huge pile of sand, approximately half mile square, was noticed drifting near kelso Constant winds, blowing across the town and into the hot pit of Death Valley, a few miles away, were slowly moving the sand to- ward Kelso. The winds still blow, and it is believed that at the rate the dune is moving it will cover Kel- so with 50 feet of sand within the next five years unless the prepara- tion being made to ward off the me mace are successful.

Labor Ministry and Strike.

dispatch from London says that
railway strike in Great Britain is
inevitable, and may occur at any time
as result of failure OF negotiations
between the companies and the en-
ginemen over the question of wage re-
adjustment. 1t is expected now that
labor ministry will be formed dur.
ing the coming. week in consequence
OF a vote Of mo confidence" in parlia.
ment against the Baldwin govern.
ment. If that occurs 1t will be inter
esting to observe how the government
acts in the presence Of a nationwide
railway strike.
II the strike occurs, and Macdonald
is made premier, the new labor min
istry will face a most difficult prob.
lem at the outset OF it's career. 1t will
be the government of the whole peo-
pie, not of a faction. If it fails to
keep the trains moving II will chal-

other political parties to unite. If it
moves vigorously to break the strike
it will challenge the labor forces that
returned it to power by making it the
larger OF the two minority parties.
Thus the laborites of Great Britain
may be put speedily to a test that will
measure their statesmanship. their
patriotism. If they are bent upon
bolshevising Great Britain this strike
may come as an opportunity. There
is nothing, however. in the career OF
Macdonald to justify the belief that he
will consent to a radical communistic
policy. He is in truth a conservative
laborite. 1t will be difficult for him
to maintain a ministerial organization
in such situation. A general cleo
ton. already predicted as probable
early outcome of the present unstable
parliamentary situation, becomes al
most a certainty in the near future
in view Of this sudden development Of
labor troubles.

Ku Klux Klan Factions.

For some months past there has
been trouble in the ranks of the Ku
Iilux klan, factional trouble. with
bitter quarrels between leaders and
court proceedings. These troubles
have now eliminated in an order from
the imperial wizard of the organiza-
ton banishing from the Klan William
j. Simmons, it's founder and "em-
peror," and Il. Y. Clarke, at one time
acting imperial wizard. The latter Of
the two banished officials challenges
the right of Wizard Evans or of the
imperial kloncilium," or the body of
dragons to banish anybody. Thus it
is likely that other court proceedings
will result from this factional move
ment.
These interneeine difficulties may be
the sign of a disintegration. The Ku
Klux Klan, formed upon the false
principle of secrecy and concealment
of identity, was bound to come to this
point. With power vested in individ-
uals, responsible not to the law but to
delegated representatives meeting Sc
cretly, and with every possible safe
guard, against Identification, Jealousies
were certain to develop.
Originally the purpose Of this body
Of men was mainly good, to assure the
enforcement Of law, to clean out. foul
places. to safeguard public morals.
To that extent it was a worthy OBJ
ject that was sought. In other re-
spects. however. in, race antagonism
and religious enmities, the Klan chal-
lenged the sense of fair play of the
people. Intervention in political mat
ters came almost as matter of
course. and there negan the real trou-
Bile in the organization, for It proved
impossible to hold united along lines
