On Style

Mere attention to words In not
enough; for real style Is not matter
Of shOwiness. Sslicitude over verbal
niceties quenches the srdour Of imag
nation. But no appropriate word will
be lost, if one by prolonged and
iudicious reading acquires plentiful
stock of words and applies thereto
skill in arrangement. and, further,
strengthens the whole by abundant
hand and before ones eyes. When
our words are sound Latin. significant
elegant. and fittingly arranged. why
should we labor for anything more?-

English Trade-Marks

English legislation trending toward

mark Of his own for every sort Of

Edward IFS provision that every mas

Tun1sten Of Great Value

Tungsten or wolfram 10 a metaHic
element isolated by the brothers gel
hujart in 17S3, after Scheele had, in
1771, isolated tungstic acid. Tungsten
is not found native but occurs as the
tungstate of iron and manganese in
the mineral welframite. as the calcium
tungstate or scheelite. as the trioxide
or wolfram echre, and in small guam
titles in other minerals. Tungsten min
erals are almost invariably found in
tin ores. 1t is used to increase the
hardness and tenacity Of steel and
thus improve it as a material for hard
tools. Coolidge has succeeded in rem
dering tungsten malleable and ductle,
and at present tungsten wire is widely
used for making incandescent lamp
filaments.

Small Village Mother
of CITY of Baltimore

Far to the north on the southeastern
coast of Newfoundland is a little vii
lage called Ferryland, says a writer in
the Baltimore Sun. This small, wind
blown town Of some sparse five hun
dred inhabitants is in a way the moth
sr Of buXOm, prosperous daughter to
the south, the city of Baltimore.
In 1923 George Calvert, Lord Baltic
more. arrived in North America with d
charter which gave him most of the
island Of Newfoundland. called the
province of Avalon. He founded his
first colony in the new country on the
site of this village of Ferryland and
settled there with his family.
But finding the climate more rigor-
Gus than he thought comfortable, he
asked Charles l for grant Of land
north Of the Potomac river and planned
to move to warmer regions. His re-
quest was granted. but before the
final negotiations were completed he
died.
His son, CeciIius Calvert. second
baron of Baltimore. completed the
transaction in 1922 and named his
colony Maryland in compliment to the
queen, Henrietta Maria.
And so it was that Ferryland was
left to struggle with the bleak winds
blowing off the rugged coast where it
chung up on the hillside. But though
small, it was wiry, and today it still is
alive, not great deal larger than it
was in the days Of it's early youth sew
eral hundred years ago, but still sound
and hearty

Meats and Objection

Meat Is composed Of muscle, CON
nective tissue, and fat. The muscle
fiberx are composed Of thin walls
which contain the building material
for the body; water, mineral salts and
extractives. These fibers are held to-
gether by little tissues and between
these little muscle fibers are bound to-
gether. and the more fat the meat CON
tains the more indigestibe the meat.
Hence. pork is more indigestibie than
beef. The digestive juices have a
harder time to penetrate the closely
bound pork fibers.

hard struggle to reach popularity.
Many people refused TO eat potatoes
even In time of famine; and at one
time some laborers rejected potato
soup. saying: "We will not eat this

Puritan and Pilgrim Too Often Confused


/ should like to call attention to a
mistake which appeared in the Public
Ledger of March Z. 1t was the confu-
sion, or rather the mistaken Identified
ton, of pilgrims and "Puritans.
Even as well read and well educated a
man as Theodore Roosevelt made this
error and was corrected by Henry Ca
bot Lodge, writes Jane I'll. Farnham In
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Pilgrims settled Plymouth In
1920, while the Puritan migration did
not take place until 1880. when the
Bay colony was founded. No doubt
both colonies were intolerant, accord
ing to our modern views. but the Puri-
tans were stern in the extreme and
banlshed such as differed with them In
religious beliefs Among those ban
ished were Roger Williams. Anne
Hutchinson and the Quakers.
The Pilgrim colony for fifty years at
least did not restrict the votes to
church members. as the Puritans did.

ing his "hunch" and the prospector
John Smiths discovery.
Since that ride up Blue Stone can
yon he had taken turns with Smith in
picketing Cattle Kate's outfit, but
nothing untoward had taken place.
Now he sat in tedious silence, lis
tening to the night sounds, unaware
that any one was out from Sky Line,
since Caldwell and his companions
had dropped diagonally down the slope
in their going, passing far above him.
For an hour he sat, slouching side
wise in his saddle, his hat pulled over
his eyes. The bay horse stood In hip
dropped rest, browsing comfortably.
1t was well after midnight, judging
by the stars in the sky, when Selwood
suddenly held the breath he was draw
ing into his lungs.
He had heard a cattle-brute bawl.
For a moment he was still as death.
Then he Strengthened up, every
nerve taut
He heard the sounds of cattle, the
crack of whips, the unmistakable- COM
motion of moving bodies. AS it all
came nearer below him he caught the
swish and splash of water, and knew
he was at last witnessing a raid of
rustlers, one of the mysterious "disap-
pearances" which had puzzled all the
Deep Heart country for so long.
He wished fervently that Smith were
with him-that Bossick and Jermyn
and all the rest were there.
His heart was beating hard and to
save his life he could not help the ex-
element which took hold upon him.
And presently he heard, directly be-
meath him where Kate Cathrew's trail
crossed Nameless, the trample and
crack of myriad hoofs taking to the
rocky slope. The riders were turn

CHAPTER XIV
The Flange in Rainbow Cliff.


1t was getting along into August.
In every cup and hollow of the Deep
Heart hills the forage was deep and
plentiful. Cattle, scattered through
the broken country, waxed sleek and
fat. They had nothing to do but fill
their paunches in the sunlit glades
and chew their cuds on the Swallowed
slopes.
Bossick, riding his range one day,
came upon Big Basford and Sud Pro

dence of hard going, and the cattle

wimple of trailing whispers which had
come into the country behind him that
had put the brand upon him.
