they named a street in his honor.

was in his place of business, busy
as usual, when he saw stranger

LIGHT TASK


In describing his visit to Shetland

Scott tells of the conditions that
prevailed in that lonely outpost in
those days. There was no resident
pastor, and the island was visited
once year by a clergyman from
the mainland. If the weather hap
pened to be unfavorable at the time

following summer, with the result
that weddings and baptisms had to
be formed "by the slump"
On one occasion at a Fair Isle

was the progeny of a stalwart fish
erman who was not conspicuous for
his piety. On entering the cottage
where the service was to be conducted
he tripped in the doorway, and in
voluntarily gave voice to profane
uttcrance, which caught the ear OF
the minister.

the child, the minister looked sternly

HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
rdnxa1u ass sadc
60, 1922. Harland H Alien.)
TO BUY A GOOD COMB

The difference In the wearing quail
ties Of the different grades Of combs
may be bit of new and useful infor-
nation to the shopper.
There is a wide range in the quality
of these goods. But what Is hardest
for most of us to believe, is that these
differences are not due to the differ
ent grades Of celluloid used, but in
most instances to the coloring matter
used, the method Of manufacture, and
the way the articlamiss.h finished.
There are three types Of combs, the
sawed tooth, cut tooth, and the nodded
or pressed.
The sawed tooth combs are the best
to buy. This is because of the method
of manufacture. In cutting the teeth,
the saw goes straight to the base of
the tooth, and thus gives a rectangl.
lar opening at the base. In the cut
tooth comb, two combs are made at
once, and one set Of teeth comes out
Of the space between the teeth of the
other comb. This makes the openings
wedge-shaped. Mediuln-priced combs
are generally nodded. 1t is difficult
to distinguish them from cut combs,
but they are lighter in weight
When buying comb, then, it is al.
ways wise to look carefully at the base
OF the teeth. If the openings are
square, and the teeth are about the
same distance apart at the base and
at the point, 1t is a sawed tooth comb.
When the openings are wedge-shaped,
you are looking at cut tooth or mold
ed comb. You pay more for sawed
tooth comb, because it takes as much
labor to make one of that type as 10
does two of the cut variety, but the
satisfaction Of using one justifies the
difference in cost. You will notice the
and pulls while sliding through the
wedge-shaped openings of the cut
combs, while it passes easily and
smoothly through the square openings
Of the sawed tooth kind.
Most cheap combs have the tooth at
one end spreading out n little from
the rest. This happens in the process
of manufacture, and is bent into Shape
somewhat when the comb is finished.
but little bulge can always be de-
tected. This viii help you to distin.
guish a medium-quality comb.
The better grade combs are
"grailed'; that is, the corners OF the
teeth are shaved off to prevent dirt
lodging at the base.

STATE AUTO CLUB PUTS
ON PATROL SERVICE

The Automobile club of Arizona
seeing the urgent need of authentic
road information has purchased car
for patrol service, this car will ira
verse all federal, state and county
highways in Arizona, securing a corr
rect log, looking after proper signing
of the roads. This will mean the
marking Of hundreds Of diversion
points, where roads leading to sum-
mer resorts, camping places, points
Of scenic beauty and historical inter-
est will be plainly marked for the
benefit of the motoring public
Manager Treadwell states that the
work Of the Automobile club of Ari-
zona has brought about great in
crease in the use of Arizona high
ways by the motoring public and this
correct, intimate information has be-
come an absolute necessity.
He further stated that the policy Of
the Automobile club was to spread
the immense stream Of motor traffic
into all parts of Arizona and this in
formation would be available for all
motorists without charge.
All resort owners are advised to
write the Automobile club Of Arizona
full particulars of their resort, camp,
fishing, lodge, ranch or whatever
they NAL call it, giving location, ac-
commodations, recreation opportuni-
ties, etc, as Manager TreadWell does
not want to overlook any recreation
point in the state, in furnishing in
formation to possible patrons, and
users of Arizona highways.
