Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN

One should not only pack well IN
advance so that the men need only
move things, but also plan ones NOV
ing so that each article moved is moved
at once into its permanent place.
Many women today move early in
large cities because traf1c is light in
the early morning. and so moving is
quicker and cheaper.
Because it takes so much time to
move small pieces, economy is effected
by only having the vans move the larger
pieces. The smaller cnes can then fol-
low in ones car, IL any exists. If one
does fellow this order CT things, 1t Is
best to move small articles after the
other stuff has been removed, rather
than before Else the small things will
be in the way and more subject to
breakage.
Experienced responsible movers are
worth their extra cost. Housewives
must watch cut these days for movers
who move. but none finds out where.
Be sure TO contract we'll in advance for
the vans, else you may find yourself
forced to move with none to move you
II you move before or after the LIST
you may find rates bit cheaper and
vans more plentiful.

"All right! All right" replied Jimmy
Skunk and took a bite of food from
the plate.
Bobby Coon took one good long look
at him and then he settled down and
began to eat. Then Mother Brown
drew a long breath. my goodness"
said she, look at them! That was an
awful moment. Now, I do believe those
two fellows are going to settle down

When Gen. Robert e. Lee was only
young lieutenant, stationed at Fort
Hamilton on Long Island, he was cross
ing in q boat to Staten Island one day
when he heard the sharp barking of
dog issuing from the tossing waters OF
The Narrows.
He ordered his boat steered toward
the barking and came upon a small ter
rier, which presumably had fallen from
some other craft.
Lee lifted the poor little animal into
his boat, to be Immediately showered
with gratitude and water. The terrier,
for the rest of her life, was his devoted
slave He named her Dart.
She was big favorite with the whole
Lee family, particularly the lieutenant's
little children. She was handsome lit

Dart became the mother OF a son. He
vas named Spec and was even more
loved than his mother.

Moving Days.

In another day or so you will have TO
remember to have the phone discon-
nected. milk stopped. gas and light shut
of, mail 4readdressed, and like things.
It might be a good idea not to trust
memory. Jot down these things so that
ncne escapes you on moving day.
Forgetting these details is not the
only reason for the high cost OF moving
DAYS with some housewives. There are
two very common causes. One Is fail
Ore to have ones new home ready TO
receive furniture directly as it Is un-
loaded from the van.
Another, which even precedes, Is TO
be caught unprepared to move wnen
the vans arrive. One pays dearly for
time. and time wasted costs as much
as time usefully spent.

Mrs Josephine E. Yarbrough. Uncle
Sam keeps her on his payroll to aid
people who have that queer quirk in
their natures which results in their
hiding valuables in such places
To her desk at the Treasury are
brought charred and chewed scraps Of
valuable papers-bits of notes that re-
main after burial in the ground, or a
piece of security torn from the hand Of
an escaping thief.
Her Job is to reclaim them and re-
veal their identity.
She has revealed secrets worth mil
lions from these paper scraps that come
into her hands.
There was. for instance. the wealthy
Middle Westerner who placed $4,000
Federal loan bonds in a lead pipe in
the chimney of his home more than so
years ago. He died suddenly without
revealing the hiding place.
A half century later the home was
torn down and the small fortune
daughter But it consisted OF water
soaked scraps They were sent to Mrs.
Yarbrough. After weeks of work she
had assembled enough of the pieces
to identify the bonds. The money for
their redemption was paid by the
Treasury Department.
This is a typical example. She has
made identification of notes and bonds
worth millions. Infinite labor and skill
full manipulations are required to piece
together bits unacceptable to the
average eye, except as inchoate mate
rial.
She says every fragment brings a
story as interesting as the work Of solv-
ing the Identification.

areas in the Capital is West Executive

A Sermon for Today
Faith and Courage.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

uAtA 0Au SOAA0SS'
wait on the Lord be Of good cour-
age."-Ps xxvii:14.
We frequently hear some one quote
the saying, Trust in God, and keep
your powder dry" Something like that
was what David meant when he said:
age.
The word "wait" here means trusting
in God for help. BE of good courage"
means that we are to go forth to meet
life's duties, difficulties and depriva-
lions with brave hearts, doing all we
can to help ourselves.
Brothers, to your knees, and to your
ranks!" cries Punshon. ITO your knees
in humblest supplication: to your ranks
in steadfast bravery which no foe can
cause to quail"
Says John Angel james: you cam
not be too active as regards your own
efforts: you cannot be too dependent
as regards Divine grace Do every
thing as If God did nothing: depend
upon God as II He did everything"
Examine the great biographies Of the
world, and you will find that courage
has been the keynote of every truly
great life. He only lives greatly who
dares greatly. It is equally true that
he only dares greatly who believes
greatly. It takes faith to produce
courage and the spirit Of daring. The
greatest courage is that which is born
Of faith in God. The man who has
learned the secret of waiting on the
Lord" and relies upon Him for help,
Is the man who intrepidly dares every
thing that can oppose or attack him in
life's battle.
Faith and courage-these are the
high qualities required for victorious
living. And nowhere are these qualities
more needed than in the trivial round
of common life; for it is a harder
thing to live a commonplace life nobly
than to share in a spectacular charge
against an army of enemies on the
battlefield. But whatever the circum-
stances OF your life. let nothing dismay
you: wait on the Lord, and be of
good courage"

 Securely wrapped in an under shirt. the day-by-day record of the explorers tramp across the polar ice from the spot where their bal loon was wrecked, presumably in latitude S5 north, 10 White Island where they perished, was found on Andree's body at Tromsoe hospital.
 Protected Book
 Andree in death had arranged for its protection and ultimate issuance to the world As the numbness of death stole over him, he lay down upon his records and died shielding them With his body.
 The new diary found today also proved to be a treasure trove. It is filled with writing, from cover to cover. and the writing is legible.
 In interest it wholly supersedes the book first discovered by Dr. Gunnar Horn on White Island It was announced that Dr. Horns find bore writing only on it's first pages.
 A formal statement issued by the experts, Hedren and Lithberg, states that only the skeletons of the bodies of Andree and Steinberg remain in tact. The organic parts were very much deteriorated, and the clothing, though fairly well preserved, had been much torn, probably by ami mals.
 After the remains of the Andree expedition had been transferred to the hospital at Tromsoe," the state ment says, the experts began their work at 1 p. m. Tuesday.
 Simultaneously were transferred to the hospital such belongings aboard the Bratvaag as the sledge. the canvas boat with it's contents, and objects found in Andree's camp on White Island, including the log book and the diary found in the inner pocket of Andrees jacket.
