Carter Joy says he had a dream the
other night that an angel told him
that he could have anything in the
world he'd wish for and he'd get it;
but that another fellow Carter does
MT like any too we'll would get twice
as much of whatever it was Carter
wished for.
Carter said he had hard time
thinking what to wish for. At first
he was going to wish for a whole lot
of money; but then, when he thought
about the other fellow getting twice
as much he couldn't bear that At
last he had an idea.
Il wish," he told the angel, 'eto be
made blind in one eye"
Carter says the next morning the
first man he met when he got out
was the other fellow He saw with
astonishment that he still had both
eyes. Carter squinted first with one
eye and then the other and found that
he hadn't lost the sight of either Of
his, and then he remembered it was
all dream.

DAILY IN CHICAGO
 SHOWS PROGRESS OF PRINT

CHICAGO, Jan. 19. P)-The evo- lution of the art of printing is oddly and graphically shown in each is- sue of the Dai-Nippon, Japanese daily newspaper published here. Printed by hand, it has a circulation of five hun- dred.
 There are 50,0O0 characters in the old Japanese alphabet and some 20,- 900 in the simplifed writing vocabu- lary. That is why three-fourth of the Dai-Nippon's news is in the com- plicated characters of the two al- phabets, laboriously drawn by stylus on stencil.
 The remainder of the news is half in English and half in the new TO- man-letter Japanese, both transcrib- ed on the typewriter Current ad- vertisements are sketched by hand, but forty per cent of the four pages is advertised matter printed weeks in advance, with the aid of metal, hand set characters. The news is run off by mimeograph and the composing and printing of the newspaper re- quires from eight to twelve hours daily.

RUBBER OF DOMESTIC SOURCE
 IS MANUFACTURED IN TEXAS

MARATHON, Tex, Jan. 19. (P)- In this little southwest Texas town domestic rubber is manufactured from the guayule plant, which grows wild all over this section. A factory, un- der the spar of high rubber prices, ras eac:led an ouir!it ot ton day.
 The guayule is a shrub, three to five feet high, and resembles sage brush Beneath it's outer bark is a sap, known as latax, from which the rubber is made.
 The shrub is put up in bales, like hay and the sap is pressed out in a machine called a bubble mill. About 30,000 gallons of water, supplied by wells, is required to produce a ton of rubber. The plant is gathered, root and all, and brings about $40 a ton at the factory here
 The finished product comes from the presses in sheets about three inches thick, 30 inches long and 15 inches wide.

FINDS ABILITY WITH TOOLS
 AN ASSET FOR THE INDIANS

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 19. (P)- Innate ability with machinery and tools may eventually lead the Amer ican Indian to a new place in the sun, believes Clark B. Dickinson, head of the government Indian school for girls here.
 During his 10 years in the Indian service, Dickinson says, he has found that the Indian has an ingenuity and an ability with tools which most white men would envy. This is the result, he thinks, of long centuries in which the Indian was compeled to devise tools to meet his peculiar con- ditions.
 Indian boys make excellent automo- bile mechanics, he declares, and many have displayed proficiency in other trades where steadiness of hand and accuracy of eye are assets.
