BREATHING DEVICE
WORKS OUT WELL
Submarine Life Saving lnVen'
ton Tested

Washington. Aug. 24.-fP-Suc-
cessful use of a simple breathing de-
vice designed for rescue of crews of
wrecked submarines was accom-
plished yesterday in experiments
conducted off Dahlgren, Va. by two
navy divers who descended 10 feet
IN a diving bell and rose to the sur
face without ill effects.
The device consists of bag of
oxygen and mouthpiece strapped
on the head, and weighs only two
pounds. The tests were conducted by
Lieutenant C. B. Momsen. submarine
and diving expert, and chief gunner's
mate Thomas Eadie, holder Of the
medal of honor for rescue work on
the submarine S-4.
The men wore diving suits when
they were lowered in the diving bell
by the diving ship Crilley. Descend
ing separately. after the rectangular
steel bell had reached the bottom
each man placed the apparatus to
his mouth. the oxygen bag resting
against his chest. dived from be-
meath the bell and made his way to
a cable let down by the diving ship.
II the device is adopted for use in
the IS submar ines in commission in
the navy. one for each member of
the crew is to be placed in each OF
the three escape compartments.
The men would emerge through
the escape matches, one of which is
in the forward part of the submarine,
a second in the coming tower and
a third in the rear.

HARVEST time AID
TWINE PRODUCTION
Irvine Plant at Prison Operating
Night and Day

Bismarck, n. D., Aug. 24.7P-
Heavy production of twlne for the
harvest season in North Dakota is
taken by farm observers to indicate
that most OF the grain crop win
be cut in the old-fashioned way
With headers and binders.
The Irvine plant at the state pris-
on is operating night and day, and
for the first time in four years its
warehouses are empty of finished
product. The prison plant makes
about one-fourth of the Irvine used
in the state.
Prospects of a heavy grain crop
and inability of manufacturers to
deliver all the harvester thresher
combines that might have been
used this year is credited with Gre
ating the demand for Irvine.
Already used in large numbers in
North Dakota. the combine still has
many objections to overcome be-
fore it dominates the harvest meth
DDS. Difficulty in harvesting lodged
grain, uneven ripening of fields and
damage caused by winds if ripe
grain be permitted to stand too
long are some Of the things that
have delayed widespread use of the
new machinery.
However, the greater efficiency
and the cost-saving features of the
combine are recognized, and deal.
crs say they were unable this year
to deliver machines as fast as they
were ordered. This trend is further
reflected at the prison tNtne mills
where. despite the big bushes:

MANY women ARE

Predominant Among Those for
Kelley Trial

Los Angeles. Aug. "a R-Women
predominated today in the temper
airy jury panel called to hear the
murder trial of Leo p. Kelley. 20,
meat cutter who is charged with the
murder 20 days ago of Mrs. Myrtle
L. Mellus, "A society woman.
Eight women and three men oc-
cupied tentative seats in the box at
the resumption of the trial today.
The attempt of the defense to oh
tain a ma jority of middle-aged wom-
en- in the box was apparent during
yesterdays opening day examination
of jurors, S S. Hahn. Kelley's at
torney, acting on frequent prompt
ings from the handsome butcher
boy" used numerous challenges to
weed men from the bloc.
Each side held 16 challenges to-
day for selection of the la st juror.
The demand of Kelleys attorney
that Frank Nellus. husband of the
slain woman. be held in contempt Of
court for failure to obey a subpoena
which instructed him to bring -four
barrels of whiskey and 200 bottles Of
beer" into court caused a sensation
at the opening session.
The defense counsel maintained
that the liquor which Kelley said he
and Mrs. Mellus had been drinking
only few hours before her nude
and mutilated body was discovered
in her home by her husband had
been removed to police station.
Hahn intimated that goodly pa TT
of the liquor was disappearing and
his charge brought him a partial
victory when the court ruled that
Mellus would be required to bring
the liquor If he is called to the wit
ness stand.

Keep Account.

When you begin sending children on
errands that involve the handling of
money, keep accounts. Keep them
strictly The fact that you trust your
child completely is not to interfere with
this idea. Part of his education. part
of his character training, lies III the
experiences he gains in these situations.
Many a child begins pilfering because
of the careleSsness of his elderS-care-
lessneSs in keeping accounts, or IN atti-
tudes toward money.
When you send a child to pay bill,
teach HIM to bring home the receipt
and make sure you file it. When he
Buys things for which you give him the
money, teach him to bring back the bill
and check up the change. Do not hand
him the change with a careless gesture.
Keep the change" has made many a
child a careless piiferer. Pay child
for his services If you see fit. but make
him no gifts of loose change with the
air OF one tossing aside useless litter.
That has been done.
Keep budget book and household
accounts. Teach the child that you do
so and why Give him his allowance
and help him keep account of it so
that in time he can handle his own
money. Children are ignorant of the
use and the value of money until ex-
perience teaches them. That expert
ence must begin in the home.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri

When you give money to child 70
buy school tickets, ask for the tickets.
When he carries money to school as his
share of some fund, ask for his re-
ceipt Do this as a matter OF business
training knowing that such training Is
reflected in his attitude toward money
and its use ever after.
Keen all money where IL belongs.
II does not belong in the old cup on the
top shelf Only the necessary funds
for daily use ought to be in the house.
The children should not see money
/ living loose on dreSsers or table tops.
When the shopper returns from trip,
her purse should be put in its place.
The balancing OF the accounts for the
| day every evening. or at some con-
venient. fixed time, will establish a ira
dition of care and accuracy that de-
tends children against the temptation
to pilfer.
The children between the ages Of Z
and IA are often guilty of taking money.
They have not had the necessary ex-
periences TO establish the reason for
letting it alone 1t Is very difficult 70
Let young children have such expert
ences. One fine way to establish the
right attitude is to assume the attitude
Of care toward all money activities

and the rest
The best protection against error IS

II is common belief the world over
that when you lose your way in the
woods or on the prairie or desert or ice
fields, or in fog or snowstorm. you
tend to 60 round in circle. or in a
series of circles like a clock-spring
spiral. And the same is reported of
rabbits, foxes. antelopes and other ami
mails when driven in chase Even
worms. however slowly they move, tend
TO move in Spirals. Is there a circling
or spiraling mechanism?
The only way to find out is to ex-
pertinent. On level stretch Of Kan
sas prairie the subjects for this expert
ment were shown landmark In the
distance. blindfoided. told to walk
toward it IN q straight line, and their
paths charted. Some walked. other
ran. some even drove car. and when
the experiments were transferred to the
water. some swan and others rowed. So
there we're several kinds Of locomotion
They all had the impression that
they we're moving In straight lines;
they all had no sense of going irregu-
larry or Of veering. Yet their paths
were all more or less like cIock-spring
spirals. The experiments support the
common belief.
The circles or spirals turn either
right or ieft-as the hands of q clock
move, or in the opposite direction
and do so IN the same person; may
even 60 at times one way, at times the
other way. In the same experiment or
trial Yet for most persons there Is one
stronger tendency: they are either in
inclination right-turners or left-turners.
The trails differ. They suggest diff
ferences OF temperament-anothe way
Of reading character. II You are q
Slow-gofng pIodder, you tend toward
long and rather regular spiral turns
without reyersals: II you are impulsive
and not 50 steady by nature, yon go
trregularly--flrst straight, then a turn
or two, often reverse, but with several
straight stretches.
You ret the record In as short a
path as 800 steps. and you get circles
or spirals as small as yards in diam
eter and as large as 40 yrdS, and it's
about the same for swimming as for
walking The general drift of your
course Is nearly always in the same d.
rectiOn as your first turn, and so may
be nearly at right angles to the cor
rect path.
The automobile drivers, going at the
rate Of ] TO miles an hour over the
prairie. used remarkably little space,
turning without intention In circles
from - TO ITO yards in diameter. One
expert Ford driver kept on driving in
smaller and smaller right-hand circles
until the car reached the limit of
turning. when he became aware for
the first time that he must be going
in circles. The automobile paths were
only moderately larger than the walking
paths
AS for an explanation-thati isn't easy.
1t was commonly held that you circle

observe that the same persons may cir

Scarfs With Collarless Coats
By MARY MARSHALL.

1t has come to be taken for granted
that most coats and other wraps shall
be made without fur collars, and now
that we have got into the way OF this
arrangement 1t is possible to see advan-
tages in it that were not so apparent
when the idea of the furless coat was
first launched.
Seldom are these collarless coats worn
without some sort of collars or scarfs,
however. Fox ScarfS of many sorts are
chosen, and there are all sorts of ways
OF wearing silk ScarfS to give the neces-
sary finish to the collar line. Recently
have seen several separate scarf COL
lars made entirely of very wide velvet
ribbon. One of dark blue to 60 with
a dark blue ensemble had large fiat
bow at the back and loops and ends at
the front.
An amusing sports scarf I saw the
other day was made of beige silk--long
and only about inches wide-with
a fringed end showing figures of tennis
players in bright colored paint. These
long narrow Scarfs are decidedly smart
and are usually worn knotted close at
the throat or secured by means of one
of the new composition scarf holders
For evening wear there is nothing
newer than the small triangular scarf
of chiffon covered with paillettes.
If you do not already possess sepa-
rate pleated skirt in your Summer
wardrobe you should by all means make
up the deficiency. The material for the
skirt may be arranged in any of the
new types of pleating. at the profess
Sional .oleaterS, and then mounted on a
light silk top. This weeks home dress
makers help consists of pattern dia-
gram showing precisely how to 60 about
this, and If you are interested shall
be delighted TO send you a copy If you
will send me your stamped. self
addressed envelope.
