the older man answered, "and you've

He was not bad boy with vicious
habits. He had simply wasted his time
foolishly, thoughtlessly, with silly girls
and purposeless, lazy boys. He had
meant to work, to do the job assigned
to him, to change his methods. There
was still plenty Of time, he was sure,
In which to fix 1t all up; and then he
awakened suddenly to the fact that he
was badly In debt, that his work had
not been done; temptation came, and
he was not quite honest, not quite
square; he had stolen to make good
his obligations.

Fancy Metal Ribbons in
Demand for Fall Modes

Since the craze for ribbons began.
the making of new patterns and
colors has grown to be an industry OF
Importance. Really artistic and beau
tiful ribbons appear almost every
week. AS an idea for carly autumn
the fancy metal ribbons are very pop
ular. In sash widths they are gor-
geous: of silk and satin in all the
most lovely shades brOcaded In gold
and silver Although. sashes are sels
dom worn, these costly wide ribbons
are much used as panels. glrdles, and
as wide bands to embellish gowns Of
plain material. r6s
In narrower widths the gauze metal
ribbons are adopted to thousand and
one attractive ways of trimming gowns
and hats, and for the many pretty bags
and fancy articles that are now the
fashion. Few plain ribbons are seen
nowadays. Gauze and taffeta are the
newest, invariably shot with a silver
or gilt thread that adds a sheen to
the surface.
Most of the ribbons have satiny
cord edge of another shade or q con-
trasting color. These are in great de-
mand with the little fiuted finish that
now is so much seen on gowns. on
lamp shades and cushions. draperies,
and in almost innumerable ways In

The great danger is not In the dis

Whooping cough is caused by germ

quantities of these germs. The well

seven to ten days develops the dis

FRESH AIR DOESN'T COST
ANYTHING

GENERAL yeats ago the superin-
~ tendent of large, new hospital
Invited me t. visit his institution.
The building had been erected with
out regard to expense and contained
every improvement that ingenuity
could suggest and that money could
buy.
We went over the building from top
to bottom. He showed me the large,
sunny wards, the beautiful private
rooms. the wonderfully equipped and
Immediately clean operating rooms.
the sterilizing rooms. the kitchens.
the pantries. the storerooms. the
heating plant, and all the other won
derfui devices which the bidding con.
tanned. Last of all, he took me to
the basement to see the ventilating
plant. An elaborate and expensive
system had been installed. by which
the outside air was drawn In by re-
volving fans, purified. washed and
cooled, and then distributed through
out the building by system of ven
tilating pipes.
He said. "With this equipment, we
can pump pure air into every room
and provide plenty of pure. fresh air
for every occupant"
said. That's a. wonderful system.
Is 1t going to workT' He replied. 'Of
course, 1t will work. The company
which Installed 1t guarantees it."
Two years later. visited the same

''What have You got that window open
for?" ITO let In fresh air" he re-
piled. said. whats the matter with
your .ventilating system?" He said.
"Oh, we gave that up long ago. When
we want fresh air. we open win
dow"
This experience has been confirmed
by the New York commission Of ven
Of ventilating systems In school
buildings, hospitals, assembly halls
and public buildings, and found that
the best way to ventilate room is
the old-fashioned way of opening a
window. The report says, "While
well-devised and controlled systems Of
fan, ventilation with closed windows
were found capable Of producing ex
cellent results. certain characters
tics inherent In this method made
them definitely inferior to window
ventilation"
Ventilation was not difficult prob
lem In the early days. The log
cabins and primitive frame houses
had abundant cracks in the walls, the
floors, and around the doors and win
dows. through which fresh air could
come The large. open fireplace with
roaring log fire created draft.
The fresh air came in at the cracks
and the foul air was swept up the
chimney.
But the best form Of ventilation is
still the open window. A screen or
q glass reflector In front of the win
dow prevents direct drafts without ex.
Guiding the air.

HE HOPES TO RID WORLD OF CATS
BY ROY j. GIBBONS
NEA Service Writer

CHICAGO, Dee. 29.--Roekweil
Sayrc, wealthy Chicago banker and
real estate owner, planned to rid the
world of eats by 1925.
He set himself to this task more
than Is years ago.
Sayrc, a birdlover, hates eats for
two reasons.
They kill vast numbers of song
birds and they spread diseases to
children and grownups, too, he de-
clares.
Now that 1925 is almost here,
Savro finds all the cats aren 't~gonc
as he had originally planned. Look;
ing over his lists he discovers only
100000 have been dispatched since
he launched his anti-Tabby cam
paign.
That leaves him n world feline
population estimated at something
around 900,000,000 and this number
times nine gives the total of pro-
verbal eat lives that still sing their
song of hate in his ears.
Rewards Champ Killers
But Savre is undaunted. He has
spent plenty of money getting rid Of
10000 eats. He now announces
he is willing to spend more until the
last meow is sounded.
In past years Sayre has deluged
the country with bales of literature
urging everyone to help make the
worlt catless by 1925.
Every Christmas he gave away
cash rewards to the country S cham
pion eat killers. His schedule of
prices was 10 cents each for the first
100 eats killed. To the person Kill
ing the largest number he gave Il
bonus of So plus the head tax.
In some of his many pamphlets
he offered 500 to the person killing
the last eat on earth. But the other
day six live eats sang seven hours
on Sayrc's s back fence.
