he dismissed the detective,
shortly. "I'll call you when

back to the departing agent

must get the boy-disappear

He banged his f. t on the

himself-and have it done
properly.
Taking key from his
pocket, he unlocked his
trunk; his thin fingers ex-
plored the tray, lifted a
revolver. He loaded it
slowly, thrust it into his
pocket. Then he went to
the telephone.

Swiftly he packed his
things, strapped his bags.
He could send back for

"The car is here, Mr..

He grunted, cast a last
glance about the room, and
locked the door behind him.

pressed tightly together, a

have been a flask-at his

toward the R-X Ranch.

Sandwiches
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Is it. or is it not, correct to
eat all sAndwichec, regardless of
kind, after cutting with a knife,
with your fork? ! claim it is.
If not, which sandwiches should
be eaten with the fingers?
2. Which is correct for busi-
ness and personal correspondence,
the plain white or colored sta
tionery? A. J..
agree with you. The only
sandwiches which, in my opinion,
should be eaten in the fingers are
the sandwiches that are served at
teas, where one has to eat the
sandwich in ones fingers, usually.
and those served at picnics and
those served to one without any
utensil, as at most soda foun-
tains. In other words, when one
may have a knife and fork to
use, one should use them in eat
ing sandwiches.
2. Plain white is always correct
for business or social letters, and
so Is very light gray.

A NEW MILKING SYSTEM

A new milking system, whereby
one man with three milking units
has milked 25 COWS twice a day and
20 COWS three times a day in 51s
hours, is used on the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture dairy farm at
Beltsville, Maryland The system
consists of the usual standard teat
cups and pulsator but instead of
having the portable receptacle for
receiving the milk, has stationary
container located between two stalls
and somewhat above the COWS. This
container is of unbreakable glass
and is suspended from a weighing
machine. Thus the operator can
see at a glance the quantity and
weight of the milk. When the milk
stops flowing, the operator records
the weight of the milking and opens
a valve which lets the milk be
drawn from the bottom of the con-
tainer through a sanitary pipe line
to a large vacuum tank in the dairy
house nearby.
