In this age of distribution it is the
press of the United States which is
the real connecting link between con-
sumer and producer, because if there
were no distribution of information
there could be no distribution OF
goods, and without a distribution OF
the things we produce and manufac-
ture there could be no distribution OF
wealth.

the great variety of sizes and shapes
of cable received.
Finally, however, they perfected an
ingenious machine which would strip
the lead sheath from cable of various
diameters. The cable is fed into the
machine and fattened by series of
corrugated rollers, which also grip the
cable and push it past two horizontal
knives that slit it on each side and
a revolving knife that cuts it into
thirty-inch lengths.
The lead sheath is then easily re-
moved from the wire core. 1t is sent
directly to the lead kettle for melting,
while the wire is reclaimed without
its lead covering, thus eliminating
contamination and producing copper
of higher market value.

up its rank, weird blossoms, arises

is IN this plant, and though there is
nothing attractive about 1t, people
sometimes eat it.
People often ask me Of what use
a knowledge of systematic botany
can possibly be. Systematic botany
has so often been made tedious and
dry that it Is almost synonymous
with boredom in many peoples minds
Yet the interest in it Is unquenchable.
I find that most people want to know
the name of plant, its family, where
1t grows, what its importance to man
before they want to know anything
else about It.
The false hellebore. and a story
about it illustrate the value OF being
able to recognize and name a. plant.
At a banquet not long ago some
water cress was served. A distin-
guished botanist was present, and he
noticed that with the cress were
fragments Of the leaves Of false heile-
bore, which had evidently grown with
the cress and been included by igno-
rant pickers. He passed the world
around to avoid the salad. Had he
not been present, fatalities might
have resulted.

CHAPTER III.
Campaign.

- And 80 Connie had come to New
York
But only Connie knew why she had
been forced to come. She had dreams,
aspirations. She wanted something
more than the town had to offer her.
That was why she had been willing
TO learn shorthand and stenography.
That was why she had been willing
TO write out endless briefs in the or
fee of the towns only lawyer.
She intended to live. She had read
an article in a woman's magazine
about expressing ones personality.
She felt that she had personality, ana
privately, because she never admit
ted it. she thought her sister Nan
impossible. Nan was so heavy. Her
ideas Of love were so commonplace.
When Connie thought of love, she
thought of it as something that re-
quired technique. Nan was so bovine
in her ideas. She wanted to marry
Jimmy Morrison and settle down in a
'poky town. And why? Simply. be-
cause she had no ambition.
But Connie had ambition. All the
ambition in the world. Not only that.
but in the article she bad read, there
had been certain fac1& that had sur.
prised her. It was ssible to bring
any man to your feet If only you cul.
tivated your personality.
Connie wanted to bring men to her
feet, she didn't necessarily want to
marry them.
Marriage to her meant something
like her home life, the life her father
and mother had shared. There was
nothing attractive about 1t, and there
wouldn't be anything attractive about
Mans marriage either. Nan wouldn't I
be married a year before her life would
be Just as gray and drab az their
mothers was. But Nan wouldn't know
1t because she didn't crave anything
else Connie did.
Her father had often told her about
New York. When she had left home
he had warned her Of its pitfalls.
She arrived on a gray December day
and went to a quiet hotel. The next
day she was looking around for an
apartment. and when she found one to
her liking she proceeded to furnish 1t
with things picked up here and there.
It was marveious-the effect she OBJ
tanned, and with so little expenditure.
But she had ideas. She was cultivat-
ing her personality, and she wanted a
background for that personality. When
her apartment was pretty well settled,
she went out and landed a job for her.
self with Simpson & Hammond.
Being secretary to Mr.. Simpson was
not exactly thrilling. Connie worked
hard for her $40 a week.
The Job wasn't very different from
her Job upstate, save for the fact
that she was actually in New York.
This fact, Of course, made difference.
