ington's I-remember-when brigade,
which seeks to compare each new
political circumstance with some
previous similar situation, prefer
ably to take disadvantage of the
newest development, finds itself
stumped in seeking an occasion
when more "fuss and fury was
made over the presentation of the
name Ct candidate for president
than that which attended Franklin
Roosevelt's speech at New York,
nominating Gov. AL Smith.
After much scratching of heads
and comparing of recollections, it
is agreed that the demonstration
most nearly approaching thos e
staged for McAdoo and Smith, at
the recent Demo cratic battle royal,
was that accorded the presentation
of Theodore Roosevelt's name in
1904.
Next to that, and running third
to the recent records, was the hull
laballoo accompanying Bryan's Sec

1900, when the. issue was "im-

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The next day Cutie Cottontail
woke up bright and early. That was
really one reason he went to bed
SO early the night before.
And he got dressed in hurry and
slipped on his trousers his mother
had mended for him. But he never
thought of looking in his pockets. If
he had, he might have saved himself
whole lot Of trouble later.
He wanted to show the lucky brass
ring he had got on the merry-go-
round at Happy Go Lucky Park to
al of his friends.
Then after that he was going to
he mark and get his free ride, which
the brass ring entitled him to.
You had to be pretty smart to get
the brass ring. 1t stuck pretty hard
and you had to pull like everything.
"pll go and show Ben and Billy
Bunny first" he said They'd
never believe me if l didn't show
it to them! rll-why, hello, here
what's this? ?" he cried, picking some
thing up from the front porch.
"Why it's my brass ring! How did
it ever get out here? I must have
dropped it when l was coming in
last night. Lucky found it before
l got. too far away.
So he put it into his pocket, not
knowing that it was the very cur
tain ring his mother had been look
ing for and which she had dropped
when the postman came.
Away he went whistling to the
Bunny's house.
Ben and Billy were just up.
"Lookee what got!" cried Cutie
holding up the brass ring.
Lets see! What is it! Where'd
you get it! Gee! Aren't you lucky,

Cutie was prouder than ever.

ONE OF JAPAN'S GREAT MEN

removes the last but one of ia
pans "elder statesmen" Few men
of his time have contributed more
to the material prosperity and adj
vancement of Japan, and rarely
has an Oriental proved so capable
OF projecting his imagination half
way across the world in search of
ideas for the betterment of his fel-
low cOuntrymen.
Matsukata was the father of
Japanese finance, establishing a
system of gold standard for the
empire, serving as finance minister
under Yamagata and inaugurating
the system of foreign export ex-
change as a means to encourage
Japan's experts and to absorb
specie from abroad. Markets for
japanese products he sought stead
lily and, in the course of his activ
ity towards this end, opened Jap
Lanese legations at New York, Lon
con and Lyons.
1t Is curious to reflect that this
man OF enlightenment was a mem

as a youth, fought under his feudal
lord in the Japanese civil war of
restoration. The course of time
brought him all the public pre-
ferment man could wish. ranging
from special envoy to prime min
lister. his services finally being re-
warded by elevation to the peer
age.
The former Satsuma warrior has
founded a family which now dis
tinguishes itself in business, a fit
ting succession to the labor OF
Matsukata's life. His career spans,
in a vivid manner, the story of
modern Japan and not the least
significant reflection is that the
Japan we know today has come to
pass in that relatively short time

TYPES Of LACE.
DISTINGUISHED

Seldom Difficult to Detect
Machine Made Variety,
Says Connolsseur

There are not many lovers Of lace
who can tell the distinction between
needle.point lace and that made with
bobbins on a pillow. The difference
between the two types IL clearly
defined and can be easily recognized
If it is borne in mind, that
(a) In needle.point lace the stitches
ordinary buttonhole stitch, and are
worked with a single thread.
Co. In bobbin.made lace the stitches
are never looped. but are formed
by twisting or plating, two, three.
or more threads together. In the
case Of exceptionally fine lace, a
close examination may be necessary
before q certain conclusion can be
arrived at.
The distinction between the two
methods Of working Is perhaps most
plainly discernible In the brides. or
connecting bars, but X the toile. or

the threads passing over and under
each other.
Mixed laces, I. O., those in which
a bobbin-made pattern IL connected
by needle-point brides, or grounded
with a needle.point reseau, are apt
to puzzle the beginner, but a very
small amount of experience Will
enable him to recognize them, and,
after all, their class is not a large
one.
It is seldom difficult to detect
machine-made lace. Buttonhole
stitch is never found in it, and al
though 1t has been possible since
the eighties Of last century to pro-
duce a plated stitch by machinery,
the process is complicated and con-
seouently expensive, hence in the
bulk Of machine-made laces the
threads are only twisted or woven
together. The toile is often slightly
ridged or ribbed, and always very
even; the repeats Of the pattern are
generally more mAticulously regular
than In handmade lace; the edge Is
frequently lacking in finish and
firmness, and the texture is either
too soft or too stiff and generally
too light in weight in comparison
with the "real" fabric.
It must be remembered. however,
that there are a few laces to which
the foregoing rules do not apply in
