New Plumber Joke

The plumbers in session in Water
bury object to cartoons reflecting on
their calling. Some of the pictures
have to do with bloated incomes and
others touch on the alleged habit of
going back for tools. We can help
by refraining from retelling the
story of the boss plumber who tele-
phoned the hospital as to a small job
being done by helper.
"How is Jones getting on" he
asked the nurse who, thinking the
inquiry had to do with one of her
patients by that namet replied, Jones
is resting quietly"

Her thoughts raced to Perry.

conclusion that it would be wiser not
to see her again? Perhaps, and the
suddennes of the thought made Mar
tha gasp, perhaps he was more than
alittle interested in Natalie. After all
that wouldn't be SO strange. Natalie
was very lovely. and she was young,
with all her life ahead of her. Sup

Natalie. suppose he had. oh, but that
simply couldn't be. 1t was unthink

She realized suddenly that her hands

her what Perry did. Perry and Nata'

absurd. AS usual, she was letting her

CHAPTER XVIII.
N.atalie's Reaction.

Martha's attempt to interfere in a
matter that to Natalie seemed entirely
her own affair infuriated the girl and
made her resentful.

doing the very same thing thought
Natalie scornfully. ''Why. it's absurd
AS for that meddlesome Macdonald
man, he'd better keep out of my af'
fairs. It's certainly none of his bust
ness what I do
Tt was in this spirit that Natalie
gave herself up TO thinking out her
problem with Lucien. and it was
largely due to Martha's interference
that Natalie made up her mind not to
give Lucien up.
II can manage him. she told her
self confidently. "And / intend to &C
on seeing him. I'll show mother that
she can't interfere with me. I'm nc
baby"
Back in her own room Martha was

eyes gazing absently into space. She
realized only too well that her tals
with Natalie had resulted in nothing
Whether this was due to her friend

have listened to her anyway. And
vet she could not be sure of this, much
as she wanted to be. Her conscience
smote her perhaps because of her
.fondness for Perry--that, together
with the knowledge that it would
make her unhappy to give him up.
But 1 will give him up ran her
thoughts. "I must. There isn't any
thing else for me to do. I'll go to Nat
allie now and tell her that / will never
see him again"
And yet, even as she started to her
feet, the righteousness of such a pro
cedure occurred TO her.
To do such thing would give Nata-
lie a wrong impression. would make
the whole thing seem too important in
the girls eyes. She couldn't go to her

Martha tried to comfort herself with
the thought that after all Natalie was
a modern girl and could take care OF
herself. Besides there was no reason
for Supposlng that Natalie cared for
this Mr.. Bartlett any more than she
did for any other man. There was
doubtless no more between Natalie
and Lucien Bartlett than there was
between Perry and herself. But as she
reached this point in her thoughts

IN the old days when practically all the
l. wheat was raised on the home place,
ground into flour by the village miller, and
made into loaves by the lady Of the house
then women really could know some
thing about the bread they served.
But today--does any woman seriously
believe that she could tell one loaf of
bread from another if it were not for the
wrapper?
What can she tell-just by examining
loaf of bread-about the quality of the in
gradients that go into it; about the way it
is mixed, raised, and baked?
1t takes chemist with full laboratory
equipment to detect just the variations in

Reddy.

Now, Prickly Porky is. as you know,

tree and began barking at Prickly
Porky. You see, once Bowser had had
his face filled fun of those little spears
with which PricIily Porky's tail is
armed ana which he carries hidden all
through his coat.
Prickly Porky grnnted as he shuff1ed
along. He didn't look this way nor
that way. He simply moved straight
along toward that tree. He paid no at
tention to Bowser's barking. When he
reached the foot of the tree he stopped
and looked up. He appeared to be try

not to climb. Bowser barked harder
than ever, as If he were telling Prickly

Gypsy Moth.

The gypsy moth is so called because

locality to another. A native of the
Old World, and a dreadful orchard
pest. it might we'll have been left at
home, but 1t was brought to Massa-
chusetts in 1869 in connection with
scme scientific experiments. Some OF
the moths escaped and made them
selves all too much at home in New
England. Legislature voted the eN~
penditure of one million dollars on
gypsy moth control, and thus nearly
succeeded In reducing the gypsy moth
to determination. little more money
would have accomplished this, but the
taxpayers, finding the numbers OF the
gypsy moth so seriously reduced, re-
fused to pay any more money Tor
the campaign. AS a result the gypsy
moth again got out of hand, spread
ing TO all adjoining States. II would
now take many times a million dor

Italy Fosters Art
By Copyright Law

Italy's new copyright law is an alb
solute innovation in the prevailing
copyright law of the world The in
novation consists in the abolition OF
the concept Of public property and the
creation of the concept Of state prop
erty in copyrighted works after the
expiration of the period of private
ownership Of works of literature or
art.
In other countries such works, after
the copyright period. become public
property in the sense that any one
may publish or perform them without
paying royalties to the author or his
heirs. In Italy, hereafter, the state
Will receive royalty of per cent.
which will be devoted to the mainte-
nance and encouragement of national
art.
At present the Italian government
contributes a considerable amount TO
artistic purposes. Under the new law
probably much more will be provided
by the state royalties. For examples,
