shade needed is not found, it is a simple
matter to home-dye the wicking, or
some dye house will do 1t at small cost.
If the homemaker dyes the wicking. she
| must be careful to tie 1t in very loose
hanks. lest all does not come out the
same shade. II the hanks are tied tight
ly, what is known as "knot-tied dyeing"
will result, and in this instance such
dyeing is wrong, however beautiful it
may be in itself
The embroidery is done in the simpli-
fed type Of tufting as follows: Thread
the wicking into a bodkin and run it
through the outlines of the design.
Take rather long top stitch and very
short under one. Cut the candlewick
precisely in the middle Of each top
stitch and press the two strands upright
over the small stitch. The pressure of
the foundation textile against the
candlewicking will hold it securely.
Washing increases the tufted effect.
1t is important to use Japanese crepe,
If crepe is employed, for this Is a fat
crepe. Crinkly crepe will pull out of
shape. This japanese fabric is of
sufficiently loose weave for the wicking
to be drawn through the stitches with
out tearing the goods, and firm enough
to hold the stitches. 1t will be seen
that this pressure of textile used to
hold stitchery is precisely that found in
hooked rugs.

On the other hand, many women are
apt to forget that during the warmer
DAYS the diet which was suitable during
colder weather is no longer desirable.
In warm weather much less heat is
given of from the body than Is the
case during the Winter. Therefore
the diet should be considerably poorer
In fats and carbohydrates-the energy

should be avoided. but the diet must
be adequate to maintain health ana

The tired feeling, fatigue and lack Of

daily exercise in the fresh air IS one
of the common causes The indoor
woman and the sedentary Office worker
are usually the ones who complain OF
| this fatigue. Indoor, sedentarry work
prevents q great many tired people from
enjoying the vigor and vitality that is
the by-product Of healthful outdoor

The best remedy for overcoming that
tired feeling Is made up fresh every

Intelligence Tests.


When one compares the Edison test,
with the present-day orthodox intelli.
gence tests used in academic circles, one
finds a number Of differences
In the first place, some Of the Edison
questions suggest ideals, while the usual
test measures accumulated information
only.
In the second place. the Edison ques-
, tions measure the more durable strata
Of human intelligence, while the ordi-
nary test measures temporary and &C
cidental intelligence.
The Edison questions put a premium,
on the ready marshaling of the reason
ing capacities, while the ordinary test
encourages snap judgments, often mere
guesses.
The Edison questions refer to the
fundamental facts of science; the or
binary test generally refers to scientific
curiosities
The Edison questions are generally
philosophical in tone. the ordinary test
more Immediately pragmatic.
The Edison questions imply that any
ones knowledge is relative: the ordinary
test calls for uniform intellectual re-
sponses.
The Edison questions call for DELHI
Grafton: the ordinary test emphasizes
mere mental alertness.
The Edison questions bear social sig
nifleance: the ordinary test stresses
mere individual caprice.
The Edison questions measure indi-
vidual mental acunlen; the ordinary
test is an arbitrary Standardization OF
contemporary information.
The Edison questions tap the re-
sources Of a future career; the ordinary
test only the phases of a temporary
memory.
The Edison test Is not standardized
No general use can be made OF It,
But Is not Edison correct in assuming
that human intelligence cannot be

BY J. p. GLASS,

The telepathic adventure which John
Muir shared with DR.. James D. Butler
is the more impressive because 1t hap
pened to men of trained, scientific
mind, who would be certain to separate
fact from fancy.
The experience came many years
after John Muir had come from Scot
land to America and after he had been
worshipful student under DR.. Butler
at the University Of Wisconsin. 1t was
an incident Of maturer days when, as
geologist, naturalist and explorer. he
was making those extensive investiga-
tons In Western North America which
resulted in the discovery Of Muir
Glacier in Alaska and go odd other
Glacier in Alaska and 60-odd other
were supposed to be.
His name was not yet famous as that
of a pioneer laborer for forest preser-
vation and the establishment Of national
parks and reservations.
Muir at the time was at work in the
Sierra Nevada Mountains-as he wrote,
"in the very Yosemite sanctum itself,
and among the divine harmonies Of the
Vernal and Nevada Falls"
In July he had received letter from
DR.. Butler which the latter had writ

taken a deep. friendly interest in him
almost the interest of parents in son.
Because Of his isolation, mail was gen.
orally slow of delivery.
After writing the letter. DR.. Butler
decided to visit California. But this
project was not intimated in the letter.
Shortly after hearing from his friend
Muir, who had been taking care of
$500 sheep all Summer. moved from
the mountain near Coulterville to a
position higher up. camping on the
north wall Of the Yosemite Valley, two
miles from the brink.
For three weeks he remained there.

The last word in tufted bedspreads is
the Japanese crepe coverlet tufted
with self-toned candlewick. The entire
spread is in a single color. The en-
broidery may be Of a deeper or lighter
tone cardleWick than the foundation of
japanese crepe or both spread and en-
bro!dery medium may be of the same
tone. The latter Is found less often
than either of the other two styles.
The spreads may catch the color Of
the bed linen. or such notes OF color as
are introduced into the bed linen, in
contrasting hens. applied motifs or
morograms. The ensemble effect of
any of these schemes is delightful. II
the homemaker prefers white bad linen
tn the present fancy colored linens, it is
sufficient to have the spread only In
color. In any case the color of the
tufted spread should be suited to the
color scheme of the bedroom.
One Of the Smartest spreads of this
type is in tones of orchid. the japanese
crepe being lighter than the candle
wich tufting. Spreads in daffodil tones
and delicate green's are equally smart,
while old rose and old blues are always
popular colors. Do not hesitate to make
unusual colors of crepe into these
spreads. always provided they chime in
with some wanted color in a chamber.

Quite suddenly an idea that seemed
bizarre seized him. It was that If he
would go down into the valley, he would
find Prof. Butler.
Il knew way through the wall by an
immense canyon or chaSm," he later
narrated, and I felt that should be
resisting the spirit If 1 did not CO."
He started out the next day, reach
ing the bottom in five hours. At q
hotel in the valley, he read the register
He scarcely could believe his eyes. after
all. for on the way down he had told
himself repeatedly that his trip wa
really fantastic.
There were the words, James D.
Butler, Madison. Wis
His heart leaped with joy. He was
to see an old friend after years of
isolation. He was not downcast by
news that DR.. Butler had gone into
the mountains. Hurriedly he dashed
after.
Soon he met party Of travellers with
guide. They had started out for a
climb with Dr.. Butler, but had become
tired and turned back. They said that
Butler and Mr.. Joshua Jones Of New
York had gone on. though without .
guide. to try to climb to the top OF
Mount Broderick.
Muir sped on. There was danger for
his old teacher in such a journey. Near
the Nevada rapids he sat down beside
the trail to wait. He knew that Dr..
Butler must come that way.

Mrs. Butler. "he came to light among
the rocks, half erect. cropping his wav

friend, not recognizing him, started on.
Muir sprang in front of him.
Don't you know me?" he asked.

he soon changed his mind.
Perhaps it was lucky for the profess
sor that his one-time pupil had had a
presentiment of his nearness He was
very close to being lost when Muir came
on him, and. with darkness falling, his
situation might have been dangerous

PUTTING TASTE
INTO COOKERY.
Four Women Experts Reds.
cover Old Secret

An old secret rediscovered by
four well-known women cooking ex-
perts is worth the attention of every
woman in the United States. Vege-
tables are rated by scientists with
milk and fruits as essentials foods.
Anything that will make good vege-
tables more delicious, hence more
widely eaten, is of importance to
the national health.
That is exactly the problem these
women experts were working on
how to make vegetables so delicious
that every member of the family
will enjoy them and eat them. They
cooked vegetables In many ways.
They worked and tasted patiently.
All voted unanimously in every
case in favor Of vegetables cooked
in little water and with the addi-
ton of a dash of sugar. How SIM
ple-yet how far-reaching!
Try this simple rule today with
beets, peas, string beans, lima beans,
corn, carrots, parsnips, sweet pota-
toes, squash, onions, tomatoes,
cucumbers, spinach, asparagus, beet
green's and celery. Try using q
little sugar and just notice the
difference In flavor. Remember it
does not make the vegetables taste
sweet. It makes them fresher,
brighter and better.
Add also little sugar to meat
and vegetables soup blends. Watch
how it brings out the fiavors of the
meats and vegetables. A little sugar
promotes successful cookery. Good
food promotes good health. The

Roll some thin slices of ham into
cornucopia shapes, spread the over
tapping edges with soft butter and
fasten with toothpicks. The tooth
picks may be removed when the horns
are filled and chilled, as the butter
will hold the edges together. Fill with
any desired mixture, such as cole slaw,
or celery. apples. nuts or potato salad.
Arrange the horns around the edge Of
