FILIPINO GIRLS MODERN

Filipino life is steadily becoming Americanixed. Formerly the respect able. Filipino girl would not venture alone out of her door, lest some man for whom she cared nothing should walk beside her or venture to take her hand. Then, perforee, she would have to accept him as her fiance Jest her friends might say, "See that girl is q bad character; shet. strolls brazenly about with men ]"
 Now, however, the young Filipino who has absorbed modern freedom of thought with her American schooling refuses to be coerced. She chooses her husband to suit herself If her ar ents object she will run away and marry without their consent. She will make good wife andsa devoted mother and never shirk laborl in field or shop bcside her mon, whose equal she is in general affairs, asi. she has always Teen, for feminism isono new thing in the Philippines. SheYwill manaRe eco nomically. Her betel, ,5chewing and cig- arette smoking never become extrav- agances.
 Her husband may have his cock lights, which the Spanish found already established in Las Felipinas, or he may sometimes drink too much of the heady tuba, or gamble heavily at pool, but he teldom indrlges in affairs of the heart. The F'ilipina is of jealous nature and quite as capable as 9her man of ap- plying the family bolo to other than household useS.-LuciG W. Robbins in the Current History Magazine.

Tips For Making Dresses At

WHEN basting silk, satin or any w fine material use . fine needle
 and fine thread, and before pull. ing out the hastings clip. them every few inches. These precautions will avoid eoughing up the fabric.
 Broadcloth Is one Of the fashionable fall fabrics, but be sure and sponge it before making up; Ito guard against water marks. In, sdAne shops they will sponge and press yard goods for custo. ners upon request and the charge fl nominal. The tailor will also do 1t al a slight cost.
 If you are thinking of beading the new evening gown use the sphinx bugles and the paillettes. They are newer than heada.

WHEELS
Simplest And Get Most Useful Of
 Mn'e Inventions


 Simplest And Get Most Useful Of
 Mn's Inventions
 Of all mechanical inventions 1t seems as if the wheel were the simplest the most ingenious and on the whole the most likely to advance the progress of humanity.
 Locomotion is at present among the first necessaries of life. Think what 1t must have meant to have 1t 50 enor- mously facilitated The primitive man doubtless conveyed his children and his household goods upon beast of burden or invented a rude drag to transport the heavier and more bulky materials and was indeed delighted when a stream and raft or q hollowed log would help him out. Perhaps he moved great weights on rollers cluinsily trans ferred from rear to front as he pro- gessed. Then indolence and ingenuity together suggested the first awkward wheel, and friction was enormously re- duced, and speed was vastly multiplied.
 That was long ago, and wheels have always continued among the first es- sentials of mems lives. They used, sails when they could, and snow sometimes afforded them the facility of runners 1; but in the main they traded on wheels, fought on wheels, travelled on wheels, moved on wheels. to gratify love or hate or hope or the mere desire of diversion.
 Then steam came and intensified the locomotive habit as well as other hab- it's, enormously; but chiefly it all came back to wheels. Even progress in the air and in the water depends upon revo- lutions that suggest the wheel as fun damental. And it sometimes seems as if our whole modern civilization were a matter of wheels, till, if you reflect upon 1t, 1t almost reaches the point of wheels in our heads. Our factories? Wheels, wheels, wheels--buzzing, purr. ing, whirring, little wheels and big wheels, noisy wheels and silent wheels. And out on our streets one perpetual passage of swift wheels, dizzying in their multiplicity and their velocity. And all looking back to that one crude, clumsy contrivance, which perhaps the inventor regarded with prophetic Sri- umph, but which more likely he tossed off between breakfast and dinner as mere convenience in getting a load of acorns.
 Wheels and speed, and more wheels and more speed Henry Adams thought that acceleration was the characteristic of the twentieth century. We move and live and think on wheels-when we think at all. Let us hope that they will finally rotate us into happiness and virtue.-Youth's Companion.

Little Known Regions Above Earth To
 Be Penetrated By Rocket
 Preparations are under way in Amer lea for an exploration of atmospheric heights compared with which Mount Everest becomes a molehill. Professor R. Fl. Goddard of Clark unversity, with the cooperation of that university, the Smithsonian institution and the Ameri- can Association for the Advancement of Science, is preparing a rocket which is expected to solve some of the mysteries of the unknown upper air. This rocket, whose motive power s the continuous explosion of liquid orygen and very vola- tile hydrocarbons, is expected to rise higher in the heavens than any man made object that has ever left the earth. At present scientists are uncertain as to the composition of the atmosphere above the very thin layer of 20 miles OF so that has been investigated by sound ing balloons. Meteors indicate that at a height of 3T miles the temperature rises abruptly from a very frigid tenn perature of minus 63 degrees Fahren- heit to a temperature of a summer day, 80 degrees Fahrenheit. From a study of the aurora the indications are that the temperature falls with increas- ing height and also that in the higher altitude the atmosphere consists of a higher percentage of nitrogen. At 56 miles above sea level the temperature reaches 351 degrees below zero Fahren- heat, 50 low that nitrogen freezes. It is believed that the nitrogen crystal so formed are positively charged cleo electrically. To this lofty nitrogen snow radio communication owes much, if this theory is correct. Such a charged atmosphere of nitrogen dust would be a better conductor of cleo tricity than the surface of the earth itself. And long distance reception at night is explained as beng due to the travelling of radio waves along the bot tom of this layer.-Wats Davis in the Current History Magazine.

NARROWED ON LIGHT BUOY


 dry, an exhausted, hungry man was found the other night clinging to light buoy five miles off Rockaway Inlet, where he had been for some hours.
 Capt. E. Swerberg of the aeagoing tug Artisan, passing that way, was surprised to hear faint call for help. He scanned the waters about him, look ing for spent swimmer or 6 small craft in distress. Again the cry reached him and he discerned the al- most limp figure on the buoy.
 The tug drew alongside and the fainting man was lifted on deck. After a drink of water the man told his story in such a rambling fashion that Captain Swerberg turned him over to the police.
 The buoy rider said he was "sea- faring man. from Wakefield, Mass. He gave his name as John Flanley and his age as S9 He arrived, he declared, on the Norwegian steamship Gefion and at Quarantine was invited by man in a canoe to take a ride. He accepted, was taken to the buoy, put off on 1t and told to wait until the canoeist returned from the naval station at Rockaway point.-New York World.

Hand-Rearing of Orphan
Foals Is Difficult Job

With the best of good fortune there
are always few orphan foals to he
cared for every year, and their feed
ing is problem to those who have
never attempted 1t on artificial food
supplies.
Hand-rearing Is not an easy task
and involves close attention to details.
Naturally cows milk is the common
substitute for the milk of the dam.
but 1t requires some slight moditica-
ton. If possible choose a COW that
has calved recently and one whose
milk is not rich in butterfat.
Dissolve about Tablespoonful Of
sugar-preferably white sugar-in a
little warm water. To this add three
to five tablespoonfuls of lime water.
and then sufficient quantity of cows
milk to make pint Lime water not
only serves to dilute the milk, but 1t
also tends to correct digestive trou-
bles.
The amount to feed is about one
quarter to half pint at each feeding
at first. The feeding periods should
be about one hour apart for the first
few days.
When foal suckles, 1t does so fre-
quently, but it only takes small
amount at time.

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
Fitting Stock for Show
Requires Careful Work

Fitting cattle for show means the
preparation of an animal to appear at
its best With the meat-producing
animals, fattening is the most i'm
portant part Of fitting, but the fat
must be firmly and evenly laid on.
This holds true with breeding animals
as well as market stock. While the
breeding animal may never go directly
to the block Its value depends on its
ultimate ability to produce meat stock.
1t cannot demonstrate this ability in
thin condition. The Judge has to
make his award on the animal as 1t
appears before him, not on what 1t
might be like If given a fair chance.
The failures of new exhibitors are
mainly due to poor fitting and show
ing. Most judges prefer to encourage
new exhibitors where possible, and
generally regret to turn down good
possibilities for lack Of condition.
Getting an animal fat enough Is
only part of the problem. It is a
just the right time. After show cattle
nave reached their prime, their flesh
may get hard or too soft and blub-
berry. Sheep may be so highly fitted
that they are practically ruined for
breeding purposes. Ideal condition or
"bloom" is reached when the covering
of fat is evenly distributed over the
body and Is springy, but firm and
smooth. Rolls or Jumps Of fat that
appear on the ribs or around the tail
head are Objectionable, but are some
times hard to avoid. Where animals
are to be carried in show condition
over fair season lasting five or six
months. they are started in compara-
lively light condition, both on account
Of the warm weather and the danger
of OVERRIDING them later. 81.

$40 then, she is worth, on the average,
only about 81 when discarded after
having produced, say, five lambs. Dur
ing her useful life OF seven years she
produces seven fleeces of about eight
pounds each and worth 45 cents a
pound at present prices. She there
fore grows wool to the value Of $500.
On the average she will raise about
four lambs during her five breeding
years, and one of these will be re-
tanned to replace the dam, three being
sold for slaughter or fattening at 81

CHILDREN'S CLOTHES

II wonder what was the matter with
Mary's last dress? It simply didn't
wear at ALL" How often we hear moth
ers making statements like that.
Clothes for children, when you con.
slider the hard wear to which they are
subjected, and the frequency with
which they must be replaced, are just
as significant an item Of expense al
our own, and few suggestions about
their choice and care may help you to
buy wisely.
Material for children's dresses should
be chosen for endurance and fast color.
A child's dress needs frequent wash.
Ing, and for that reason most mOther
prefer cotton to many other materials
As general rule, materials that are
yarn-dyed, such as gingham, cham.
bray, and some cotton crepes, will be
less likely to fade than print" goods,
unless they are especially well woven
and printed in very fast colors.
Little children are apt to get spota
on their clothing, and so fabric that
can be easily and quickly spOnged of
with soap and water is much better
than one where the whole garment has
to go into the laundry each time. In
making or buying child's dress you
should always consider the amount Of
time it will require in the tub. Light.
weight goods are easier to wash than
heavy ones, and loosely-woven mate
rials than those solid and tightly
woven; fancy trimmings and cheap lace
take time and soon wear out. In gen
eral, wool does not wash so easily az
cotton, but all-wool serges of firm
weave wash well. To cut down the
laundry, mothers are using to an in.
creasing extent the attractively simple
and crinkly seersuckers and crepes
which do not require ironing after
washing.
A child's clothing should never be
too good to play in, but this does not
mean that the frocks should be ugly
Children are very sensitive to gay
colors and pretty Clothes and If dressed
in ugly, drab garments are sure te
grow timid and sullen in company with
their bright, prettily dressed playmates
AS little folks outgrow their garments
quickly, only few at time, to be
worn frequently, is the best plan
Dresses for little girls should have
boomers Of matching material to al
low her the same freedom as hel
brother.
| Until few years ago, any ready-madt
clothing for children was too elaborate
and flimsy for every y-day wear, but now
you can find on the market garments OF
the best material, that are both simply
and well made, and you can even rely
on ready-made clothes If you are other
wise employed and haven't time to sew

DDS of depression have come before and
many have taken up the dairy cow.
The fact to be regretted is that as soon
as grain or cattle or any other agricul-
