Points on Pencils.

How many times a day do we hear
"Wheres a pencil?" Though they are
made in the United States at the
rate of a billion a year. yet we never
seem to be able to lay our hands on
one just at the moment when 1t Is
most needed.
Did it ever occur to you that from
the time the right kinds of graphite
and clay are found and properly pre-
pared the minimum time required to
produce the relative degrees of hard
ness in the leads is about four
months? And that in the processes
of gluing together of the cedar Stats
after the lead has been put into the
grooves. in the shaping, seasoning,
vanishing and hand finishing of the
pencils. about four more months
elapse?
1t comes as q surprise to most of us
to learn for the first time that the
manufacture of pencils constitutes an
actual drain in our forest resources.
In fact, the industry requires such
an amount of red cedar and juniper
that the woods have become scarce.
and Investigate are on the hunt OF
other suitable species There seems
to be no imperative reason why the
wood-casing of the pencil should
always be of cedar. and yet the pur-
soft texture and red color of the
cedar, but actually insists on the
plea fragrance of the cedar
atoms.
Only the finest hearts of the ever
green cedar are ever used. FLORIDA
furnishes the ideal tree, many of them
attaining to as much feet in
diameter and 100 feet in height. such
trees, however. are rapidly disappear
ing and only remnants are now to be
found of the formerly extensive
groves that sent wood to the mills.
At one. time not only all the domes
tic factories but the European pro-
ducers as we'll drew their supply
from this State, though Georgia. Ala
bama and Tennessee have contrib
uted large quantities. Formerly the
wood was SO common that farmers
in the earlier days built their rail
fences of it, and also used the logs
TO construct their houses. Now. how
ever, the great growths have almost
disappeared under the incessant de-
mand. and even these old rails and
logs are finding their way to the
mills TO be turned into pencils. The
people of the East and the North are
familiar with Il tree which is also
often called the red cedar" but
which is in reality the Juniper tree
and it is not SO suitable for pencil
making. because of its toughness and
the hard, Stringy fiber. The cedar
tree is of slow growth and it gen.
orally requires about 90 years for
a tree to exceed ! foot in diameter.
To make a wooden pencil the
manufacturer first cuts the Stats of
cedar little longer than Il pencil and

HOW 1T STARTED

The Book.

The book in its present form of an
elongated square or rectangle, is one
of the conveniences of modern life
that we accept without question as to
whence it came or how it started.
The history of the book in its vari-
Gus forms reveals the first books Is in
scriptions on tablets of clay or stone.
Such were the books of the Baby
lonian contribution to literature, a
library of which was unearthed in 1901
at Nippur in what had been the Tenn
pie of Bel destroyed in an invasion al
most 1000 years before Christ.
Next came the writings on papyruS
which were followed by the manu-
scripts on parchment, many famous
examples of which still exist. These

rolled like modern maps on wooden
rollers and kept. properly arranged
and catalogued in the closets and
shelves of ancient libraries.
The earliest example of the modern
iStence is "a copy OF Virgil in the
Vatican library. 1t belongs to the age
of Constantine (272-337 ADD and is a
relic of Roman handicraft. 1t is this
period. not later than the fourth cen
tury A D., that is credited with the
adoption of the book in the form in
which we know it today, the square"
book. or 'libri quadrati,' as it was
called.

As the king hesitated Jason heard

be fulfilled
For you must know that. many
years before. King Pelius had been
told by the Speaking Oak of Dodona
that man with one sandal should
cast him down from his throne. On
this account the king had given strict
orders that no one should ever come
into his presence unless both sandals
were securely tied on his feet. In the
whole course of his reign he had never
been thrown into such fright and agi-

Shocking for Its Own Sake.
B. MIMI.

Don and Teddy were alone in their
room, discussing the prom which had
inst ended. and the many girls who
had helped TO make the affair howl
ing success.
Most of the girls who came up for
discussion received rather a good
rating. for neither of the boys was al
all catty: but they spoke frankly and
honestly to each other so that some
unpleasant truths about certain girls
came out as they talked.
For instance:
why in the world does Evelyn get
on ones nerves do you suppose?
Don asked rather puzzledly: After
all. it isn't as if we weren't all used
to a certain amount of smoking and
low.cut dresses and swearing. and so
forth. Why should she get everyone's
goat so much when she pulls that sort
of stuff"
Because. my boy" Teddy re-
sponded in a fatherly way -EY

she pulls all that rough stuff Just
for the sheer pleasure of shocking
other people, and when she succeeds
in offending some ones taste or NOR
ais. then she's tickled to death.
Now if we hear Dolly +. swear
no matter how much it CRATES on us
we have the sense to realize that
she has an awful temper and is likely
to say anything while she is not re-
sponsible: even if the swearing doesn't
go down so well with us. there's
genuine reason for it.
But when Ev sWears she looks
around to make sure some fellow Is

strict principles about the use Of pro-
family. If there's nobody like that
around she doesn't bother to swear.
''In the same way, you don't feel
that she wears those daring dresses
because she feels they're becoming.
You're quite sure that she loves to see
the chaperones gaze in horror, and
lift their eyebrows when she passes.
You know she takes a malicious de-
light in making them gossip. and 1t
gets YOU mad at her. because after all,
she hasn't any cause for grudge
against them.
And then the self-conscious way
in which she smokes-You know darn
we'll she doesn't enjoy that particular
form of pastime. But she gets an
awful kick out of the fact that some
girl who's been brought up close to
mother is Mortified at the thought of
any ladyS use OF tobacco.
That's exactly the reason Ev's
forms of wickedness give everyone
such a severe pain. She tries to Of

likable trait in any girl

D. A. R. PLANS ST
INCREASE IN DUES
viii Enable Distribution of
Official Organ to Every
Member of Society.

One of the most important matters
to come before the Congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
ton, whose sessions open here Mon,
day. is a proposed amendment to the
bylaws of the society. increasing the
dues 81 a year. The purpose of the
increase is to make il possible to send
10 every member of the society the
Daughters of the American Revolu
ton Magazine, and at the same time
TO greatly enlarge and improve the
magazine.
The proposed amendment to the
1y-laws has been Endorsed una ninousIy
after careful consideration by the ma.
tional board of management. Mrs
Anthony Wayne Cook, president gen
eral, believes that the society should
lake this step.
Patriotism Foundation Stone.
1.-The very foundation stone of the
National Society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution is patriot
ism Mrs. Cook declared today THE
whole aim and purpose of the society
is better America through patriotic
and law-abiding citizens. Every great
movement and work in this and other
countries today relies more and more
upon the printed word. upon an or
gan OF its own. to carry on the work
10 which it has dedicated itself The
society's magazine provides one OF the
most effective means of spreading the
doctrine of love of country, of teach
ing the significance of historical
events in the history Of America, past
and current. 1t can be made the
means of increasing the efficiency of
the whole organization. by keeping
the members better informed as to the
work in hand, the reasons for il and
the progress made.
Further Outline of Plans.
Furthermore. our plans contemplate
larger magazine. with great variety
of interesting articles and illustrR-
tionS-Such a ma gaZine as will be in
keeping with the dignity. reputation
and objects of this great society, a
magazine which may have circula-
ton far wider than the membership
itself and so aid in popularizing still
further the patriotic aims of the
Daughters of American Revolution.
1t should be an asset Of great value
to the society and to the country.
Mrs. Cook stated that, should any
opposition arise to the amendment
when presented to the Continental
Congress for adoption, she was conf.
dent such opposition would fall to the
ground when the whole matter was
fully understood.
The dues of the society are small
and properly So" said Mrs. Cook.
1T is most desirable to include as
many as possible of the descendants
of the men who won independence
for us. But an increase of 81
year, less than cents week, should
not be burdensome, and does not
seem unreasonable. particularly in
view of the gain which is to be de.
