foot was long and very
slender. None of the bar
gains would fit it. She had
to pay ss.95 or go barefoot. With a
feeling of tragedy she parted with the
greenback. She carried the shoebox IN

or some hostile. inanimate presence
Three dollars for carfare left her only
$40 for a months food rations.
LEARNS ECONOMY.
But in a course in household eco
nomics she had learned that 30 cents
per person per day was very suffi-
Gent for food. She could manage il
economic experts could.
Stretch this $40 to the very limit

bitterly. At noon and after school
the girls in the business course went
up the block to the Y. W. c. A. to

was also taking a course in aesthetic
dancing. "Gives you a swell figure"
Nora Lee shrugged and professed
great disdain for cold water in any
form.
Half an hour later, passing down
Grant Avenue. she paused before the
candy store where she and Dane had
often treated themselves joyously to
butterscotch sundaes. A big cocoanut
roll with heavy chocolate coating was
in the window. 1t was fayorite con-

sink her teeth slowly in the creamy
mixture. She wished for piece now.
She stood childishly and stared at it

THE RELIEF HOME.

She walked down the block hold
ing her head ridiculously high, wish
ing she might see some very wealthy
person to snub. Riding out on the
car she told herself, frightened: 81
don't believe ! can stand things much
longer!"
When she reached the gate she turn
ed to stare at the hills. Directly op.
posite, across several roads, was the
Relief Home-lovely place on its high
eminence, the trees swaying behind it,
the Twin Peaks rising so bald and
rugged. Old men drawing on old pipes
sitting on the steps, half lost in dreams
Of days gone By, old women with old,
bent backs, wandering through the
flower beds. All old, quoted hearts !!
But once young; once hot and fight
ing; once looking to the future as to
starlit garden where all things would
be given; looking to the future as
Nora Lee had looked to it and hoped.
She went into the back yard and
sat in the chair where she had left
Margaret that sorrow-laden day six
weeks ago. The grass was grown high
and weedy. Wild ivy flourished every
where. Only six weeks and all this
change.
Even the windows were streakcd
with the wind and dust. Going up the
kitchen steps she found herself sud-
denly crying, suddenly leaning against
the door, weak with expectance. As
though One would be there smiling
One would fold her in the dear, kind
ly embrace; Margaret's teasing voice
would murmur all these gentle, loving
things.
She whispered to herself excitedly:
"Oh, why do l stay here? Why don't
| leave?" And she went tiptoeing
down the hall, closing her ears against
the resounding of her footsteps through
the empty silence.

DANE WIRES.

DANE WIRES.
She stood in the middle of her own
room, glancing about the walls as
though they we're pressing down and
sitting her. She went over mechan.
icslly and took down a small picture
of Margaret and thrust it under her
pillow.
But presently she was lying on the
bed facing the ceiling. What was the
matter with her, anyway? Going
crazy, most likely! Why in the world
was she blaming him?

HARD COtL SUCKED
FROM RIVER BEDS
Waste Anthracite in Great
Demand as Strike Goes On

Harrisburg, Oct. 30 R-Hard coal
sucked from the beds OF three rivers,
much of 1t washed out as fine as
sand by a method similar to the
principle of panning gold. Is In
greater demand as the result of the
strike of anthracite coal miners.
The miner" working the Susque-
hanna, Lehigh and Schuylkill rivers
annually take approximately half
million tons Of hard coal from their
beds-coal picked up by these rivers
as they traverse the anthracite coal
regions. The industry is the out
growth Of careless mining methods
Of early days.
When coal was plentiful and easily
obtained little effort was made by
operators to save the small sizes or
to utilize any that was swept into
the culm banks. These banks piled
up along the streams In the vicinity
OF the colliertes and washeries until
thousands OF tons accumulated.
Much OF this waste went into the
streams and huge quantities Of coal
OF good quality but small in size

| freshets.
When the discovery was made
that this coal was OF value efforts
were started to recover It. The
methods most employed consist of
the use Of suction pumps by which
the coal Is drawn from the river
beds upon fat scows. The sand is
washed out and the resulting pro-

TRAMP PRINTER
OF BETTER TYPE
But He Travels About Like
Old Timers

Indianapolis, Oct. 80 F -- The
tramp printer" that colorful char
Acter OF great wanderlust, has not
disappeared. In the opinion Of James
NJ. Lynch, president Of the Interna-
tionsl Typographical Union, and he
offers records to prove It.
THE type has changed but the
boomer Is still with us" said Mr..
Lynch. The difference Is that the
travelling type who once rode the
brake-rods and the blind baggage
now spins blithely along In his own
automobile and is seldom financially
embarrassed.
Scarcely a. day passes that
newspaper somewhere in America
does not solemnly record the passing
of the last Of the old-time tramp
printers Some one Is always trying
TO rob the present Of the picturesque
IN order to reflect glamor on the
past. The fact Is that more travel
ing cards are being issued TO union
printers today than were issued at
any time IN the past.
= The tramp printer Of the old
days was highly useful as well as
romantic. He carried the printed
word into the dark places OF the
earth. He came into contact with
the best minds OF the age and
travel broa dened his outlook. Tn
fortunately his mode of life tended
70 enlarge his imagination and his
travelogues sometimes extended to
free-handed fiction, but he was g
genial lovable type and practically
never vicious.
The travelling printer Of today
manages things much better. He Is
seldom without money and he usu-
ally studies conditions OF business
before motoring into new and un-
tried fields. His union card es-
tablishes his competency and he is
assured Of work as q sub when he
arrives in a union town"
Mr.. Lynch was asked II he be
1ieved the travelling propensity OF
printers was good for them.
NO. not as continuous per-
Torrance. Thrift and steadiness are
virtues that outweigh all others a
craftsman may possess, but the ex-
change Of ideas on craft methods is
undoubtedly good for the trade"

duct Is good grade Of hard coal,
much of 1t as fine as sand.
It's use requires special blower at
tachments upon boilers but many
residents Of the region where the
bulk OF the river coal Is recovered
have found the installation Of the
apparatus an economy and use 1t in
their homes. Public utility plants
make UP the largest consumers. Dur
ing the last few years the quantity
Of river coal recovered has de-
creased as a result of better mining
methods and increased utilization OF
the small sizes.
The river coal miner" Is not a
miner in the general sense Of the
word. He has no affiliation with the
hard coal industry itself. Each year,
however, these workers dredge out
coal valued at more than 100000.
Shipments by dredgers along the
Susquehanna river were reported as
considerably heavier during Septem-
Der than usual, although the season
had not been more than ordinarily
successful,

AN INTERESTING HISTORY
OF THE BADGER STATE

may turn abruptly about a kettle"
full of water-a lakelet too small to
make even a dot on the MAJOR it
may disclose hillside pasture with
a herd of Guernseys or Holsteins. A
few hundred yards farther it may en-
ter a sunny open wooded area, and
wind through it on ever changing
levels for mile of two.
Kettle Moraine is not a range of
hills that stand up in marked eleva-
ton above the surrounding erea.
The elevations are all moderate.
Hills with a vertical distance much
more than a hundred feet from base
to summit are uncommon. Much of
the material used by the glaciers to
build up these hills is gravel. Again
the comparison of the ice sheet to a
great milestone comes home to US.
In the grinding process the softer
materials of the racks were ground
finest and only the harder and bet
ter stone was left as pebbles and
powders. Thus this prehistoric mill
stone was working for the Wisconsin
of today and piling up great stores of
gravel of selected quality-ready-
prepared building material, which is
now used in great quantities in build
ing roads and concrete structures.
Work of Master Sculptor
1t was mastery task that the
glacier accomplished. 1t is difficult
to picture to oneself when driving
over this broad gently-rolling area
dotted with farm houses and villages,
that here once was a preglacial val
ley, now buried to depth of five
or six hundred feet, or that a mile
away the old rock wall in the val
ley comes to within fifty feet of the
present surface. The glacier did not
always complete it's work. Some Of
the old valleys it only partly filled,
depositing little material at one
spot and piling it high at another.
Some master Of design must have
guided this erratic workmanship
since it resulted in the most attrac-
tive features of the landscape-the
thousands of lakes that dot the whole
glaciated portion of the state. The
low places in the old valleys filed
with water and the higher glacial de-
posits were the dams which held it
back.
The charm of the famed Four
Lake district about the state capitol
owes its existence to this work Of
the sheet of ice--to four of these
great glacier-built dams that crossed
the old valley above which were
formed the beautiful lakes with the
Indian names, Mendoza, Monona,
Kegonsa, and Waubesa. These dams
vary in width up to three miles and
rise to heights Of about 800 feet
