He had a fair income. His apart
ment was of the studio type. and. now
and then, he sent out cards, and his
Filipino servant, Miguel, brought in
an assistant or two, and he gave a
party.
He had intended to give one for
Holly, after the engagement, but the
failure of his other campaign killed
that idea. "Afterward, if they want
me, they will have to take her, too"
he reflected. But he was not as cer-
tain as he pretended to himself that
they would want him. Like James,
he used the word they" rather often.

"Id hardly call it that" he said.

"And you'll be quiet afterward,' -
said Mrs. Willoughby-Jones. I'm be-

"No. She doesn't" he admitted.
There was a silence, and he went

For Mrs. Bayne was not well. Holly
could not leave her, even to go to
Margarets. At half past II, there
being no telephone in the house, she
went to Simmons grocery store and
called her up, but the Cox apartment
did not answer, and she went back
again, vaguely uneasy.
AT noon she carried up another
tray. Mrs. Bayne was up by that
time; she looked really i'll but she
would not have a doctor.

came more and more clear to him that
he could not force them back into So
ciety. And, for all his lack-luster eyes,
he was shrewd enough. He knew that
his present semi-popularity was due
largely to the demand for unattached
men at dinners, and the bits of gos-
sip he could carry from one tea-table
to another.
With the failure of his campaign,
therefore, it was plain to him that this
popularity would cease with his mar
riage. Some men held on. he knew,
but that was because they had mar
ried girls who could hold up their own
end in the frivolous give and take of
smart groups. With the same clear
view he took of himself, he knew that
Holly would never do that.
Nor did he try to fool himself as to
Holly's attitude to him. He had made
no real headway with her. He could
still feel the recoil, as he put his arms
around her, and her unconscious effort
to get away.
Don't you like me to hold you?"

stimulating his passion for her, and
his vanity refused to admit the reason
for them.

Even at that, the pre-World war Pc
riod was one of great activity for
women inventors, for in that time
more than 5000 patents were granted
to women in ten selected years from
1905 to 1921, number which far ex-
ceeds the total number granted them
during the span Of 105 years which
ended in 1895.
AS might be expected the majority
of women's inventions are those which
have to do with their household duties.
But they are far from being limited
to that and they cover a wide range
of activity in 30 industries, coal min
ing through agricultural machinery,
hospital equipment, manufacturing
equipment, chemicals, artificial fuels,
wood turning, even to submarine ex-
plosives! Before you exclaim over
that last, however, consider a list of
inventions by women which proves that
the mothers of men, who are pro-
verbally opposed to the war which
robs them of their husbands and sons,
are still doing their part to perpetu-
ate it's horrors. This list includes au-
tomato pistols, mountaineering appar-
atus, a cane gun, an incendiary ball,
railway torpedoes, sights for guns.
submarine mines and a top for pow
der cans.
Woman, the citizen, is responsible
for inventions of voting booths, vot-
ing machines and pocket ballot.
Woman, the scientist, has given us
new dyes and new dye bases, chemi-
cal treatment of oils for commercial
purposes, artificial fuels, gas appar-
atus, air compressors, hoisting appar-
atus, reversible turbines, various
steam and street railway necessities
ranging from road bed and rails
through rolling stock equipment to
traffic signals and block systems.
Some of the reasons given by the
women for their inventions are among
the most interesting facts connected
with their work. A large number of
these reasons, Of course, come under
the proverbial head Of necessity, the

Strike-Out Record for
1926 Awarded to Yanks

The New York Yankees, pennant
winners Of the American league last
season, carried off rather dubious
record. The Yanks were the easiest
team in the league for opposing twirl-
ers to strike out.
A free-swinging club is always the
easist to take on strikes, and the
Yankees were no exception to the
rule.
With team composed of Ruth,
Meusel and Paschal in the outfield,
Gazella at third and Koenig at short,
Lazzeri on second, Gehrig at first and
Pat Collins behind the bat, the club,
exclusive of the pitcher, averaged So
strike outs per player during the sea-
son.
Tony Lazzeri, who famed so igno-
miniously in the final game of the
world series when Alexander relieved
Haines with the bases filed, was
merely living up to his seasons rep
utation.
When push 'Em-Up Tony was hit
ting the ball on the nose he also was
indulging in plenty of strike outs,
leading the league in that respect with
90. Despite this, Tony was a much
feared batter.
Here are the number of strike outs
by various Yanks: Lazzeri, 90; Ruth,
76; Gehrig, 72; Collins, 55; Koenig,
81; Paschal, 30; Meusel, 80; Gazella,

tor tongue, which lightened the bur-
den of the "menfolks," said that "hav-
ing been raised on a farm and seeing
that there was needed improvement
on cultivator tongues, I made up my
mind to improve upon the old-style

a portable smoke house because as
she explained it "As farmers wife,
my duty was to cure meats for sum-
mer use and smoked meat is very
much favored in my family. l tried
to smoke mine without expense, and
after l had completed this device

nestle difficulties sometimes result in

woman who invented pie-pan cover

pies, the best of the pie is wasted,
leaving the poorest part in the crust"

women? incidentally, it might be
added that Elias Howe's invention of
the sewing machine was not greeted
with unanimous enthusiasm by the
women of the time. Was it feminine
inconsistency which prompted some
of them to opposition when the first
sewing machines came upon the mar
ket because they would take away

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with a mild, harmless salts
which helps to remove the body's
urinous waste and stimulate them to
their normal activity.
The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of good water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast each
morning for & few days and your kid
neys may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for years to help
clean and stimulate clogged Kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in the
system so they are no longer source
of irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

should take now and then to help
keep their kidneys clean and active.

umns of newspaper publicity about
the woman inventor" as though
woman in that role is unique.
To the average person she is, per-
haps, for we commonly think of the
inventive genius of woman in terms
of the stock joke about her ability to
do an innumerable number of things
with a hairpin when necessity de-
mandS it. AS a matter of fact, wom-
en- inventors are becoming more nu-
merous every year, as the records Of
the United States patent Office will
show. The women's bureau of the
United States Department Of Labor
recently made an analysis of those
records to determine woman's part in
this age of invention and revealed
what will be an astonishing fact to
many persons-that at least 500 gov
eminent patents year are now
granted to women inventors, and that
more patents were granted to them
in a recent ten-year period than were
issued during the whole century end
ing in 1895.
Although the number of patents
taken out by men is some 20 times as
many as the number taken out by
the other sex, the percentage increase
for women from decade to decade has
exceeded that of the men by as much
as 300 per cent in some years. An
other striking fact is that war seems
to be a strong incentive to woman's
producing new things. Before the
Civil war about half a dozen patents
a year were granted to women. Dur
ing the war and in the years that fol-
lowed the number of patents to wom-
en- increased steadily, rising at times
TO more than 100 annually. The de-
cade of 1857 to 1867 saw an increase
of CIT per cent in the number of ar
ticles patented by women, as COM
pared to 300 per cent increase for the
men in the same period.
Although it is yet too early to pre-
dict what effect In this regard the
World war will have, it is true that
the number of patents taken out by
women from 1918 to 1921 was "a per
cent higher than from 1912 to 1918
