CANICULAR SEASON

The Canicular season or Dog
Days as it is more Familiarity
known. is usually counted to eX-
tend from July "a to August 2S.
CanicUlar was the old name for
CAMS Minor, the Lesser Dog, a con-
stellation. of the southern hemi-
sphere Just below Gemini The
astronomer Flamsteed counted IA
stars in CAMS Minor Sirius, the
Dog Star, largest and brightest of
all the stars, is the mouth of CAMS
Major, also used to be called Canic-
ular. The ancients used to reckon
their dog days, or Dies Canicular
from the Heliacal rising of this
star, 20 days before and 90 days
after the stars rising, which they
ignorantly supposed caused the in
tense heat of that season and the
diseases and fevers prevalent at
that time. 1t was just an accident
that the rising of this star coin
cided with the hottest days in the
regions and at the times when the
astronomers made their observa-
ton. The time of rising Of the
star depends on the latitude of the
place, and it grows later and later
each year everywhere, owing to
procession, so the time will come
when it will rise in the middle of
winter. In Egypt and Ethiopia
they computed the Canicular Year
from the time of rising of Sirius
to its next rising-365 days, with
366 every fourth year, which was
sometimes termed the Helical year
They figured their year thus be-
cause the stars rising happened to
coincide with the greatest swell
ing of the Nile upon which their
crops depended and about which
their lives revolved.

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.--Yellow-

One OF them recently robbed the
United States mails. Park Naturalist
Dorr Yeager tells Of the occurrence,
which befell one of his colleagues
Dick White:
sit seems that some days ago Dick
stopped at the West Thumb road camp
for lunch. The season being closed
and the regular mail delivery having
ceased, Dick was obligingly carrying
a bundle of mail with him for the
members of the different road crews
around the loop. He left the mail In
the car and, after enjoying a good
meal, returned to continue his Jour
ney to Lake.
Imagine his surprise, however, to
find the package Of mail not In the
car, but between the paws of a black
bear in a nearby tree. Bruin was
examining the packet intently, sniff
fling and turning 1t over in an ipduisi.
tive manner.
Suddenly he began to tear at 1t
and, disregarding the shouts and
threats of the man below, continued
until he had extracted box from It's
contents. The tree was shaken, clubs
and threats were hurled, but the bear,
utterly unmindful of the commotion
he was causing, tore open the box and
Toasted happily on the contents, which
proved to be chocolates.
Having elnptied the box thoroughly,
licked his paws and infinitely inspect
ed the remainder of the mail for fur.
Their delicacies. he reluctantly dropped
1t into the arms Of the waiting man
below and with a contented grunt
settled himself down on the limb until
such time as his tornailor should
retire" -

Washington.--The dollar bill, which
was made one-third smaller last July,
lost none of It's purchasing power In
its shrlnkage, according to Ethelbert
Stewart, chief of the United States
bureau Of labor statistics.
Stewart said that data complied by
bis department showed that the cost
of living in the United States had
varied but fraction of l per cent
within the last year and that the
dollar was about holding its own.
"The index number for the cost of
living. based on 100 prior to the World
war. is now about no." Stewart said.
food costs about IS per cent more
than 1t did in 1914, clothing Is up
about 81 per cent, rent SO. fuel and
light IS, housefurnishing goods 50, and
miscellaneous items 107 points.
There have been only few minor
changes In the index figures recently
that do not effect the cost Of living
one way or another"

When Great Folks Turn Petty
Louis XIV Jests After Opponents Death in Gard Came
J. r. GLASS.
TRUNdPs

After Nine. de Pompadour, mistress
of Louis XIV, had died, Louis wife,
Marie Leczinska, wrote TO Henault, the
historian:
"She is no more thought of than II
she had never existed. So goes the
world"
The fact was that Louis had forgot
ten Nine. de Pompadour long before
her death Had he ever loved her?
Had he ever loved any one but him
self?
He was singularly cold toward the
living and toward the dead as callous
as a cannibal. Being what he was, it
is difficult to understand how he could
have been aroused to anger even by so
cruel an act as that of the Comte de
Charolais.
This gentleman, who has been called
the greatest scoundrel of his time, saw
=. some skaters at work on the roof OF his
house. Acting as though they were
y pigeons, he got gun and shot them,
/ laughing merrily as his victims tumbled
off the high roof
Louis XIV, greatly incensed, sent for
him. The count begged for mercy. "All
right" said Louis, IT will forgive you.
But If you commit any fresh offenses,
I shall pardon the person who kills
you"

Straight Talks to Women About Money
MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN
Where to Get the Money.

A frequent question in every home is
where to get the money. The question
is usually followed by an embarrassing
silence. None knows where the money
will be obtained, nor who will obtain it.
This is not surprising when one consid-
ers that none knows where the money
goes.
In every home there is q definite in
come, or at least known income. It can
be spent only once, and once spent 1t
will provide nothing more. This Is an
obvious fact, yet one that Is often over
looked.
1t is not lack Of money so much as
lack Of knowledge of how it Is spent
that causes shortage in household &C
counts. Lately several large insurance,
finance and other companies have been
inducing folks to plan their expendi-
lures or budget.
They know that money cannot be
available for worthwhile purposes II 1t
Is carelessly and loosely spent on non
essentials, luxuries or extravagances.
In every home there Is q sum allotted
either specifically or inferentially for
the various necessaries Of life. The sum
total of those expenses deducted from
total income discloses what Is left for
savings or the things which provoke
that question, where will the money
come FROM"
1t is simple enough. It is confusing
what living costs, and what income is
available for it. then we also know what
surplus is available for other things in
life. Knowing that, 1t Is up to us to
spend it so as to get the greatest good
for the greatest number In the family.

Method of Making Pleated Skirt
BY MARY MARSHALL.
If skirt is as smart as can be this

sort of skirt is as smart as can be this
season.
To make a skirt of this sort is not
the easiest thing in the world, and yet
If you look closely at the little diagram
you will doubtless see that 1t is not very
difficult.
For the front you will need piece Of
material 271a inches long and 81 inches
wide. To get this you will have to
make a lengthwise piecing of your ma
terial, and this should be taken under
one of the box pleats. For the back you
will need another piece of material 27h
inches long and "a inches wide.
Beginning in the center front of the
front piece, measure off 2 inches to
the right and mark with pin or bast-
ing stitch; mark off to the right every
4 inches until you have five more pin
or basting marks. Do the same thing
going from the left of the center front.
Now with yardstick make straight
lines from these marks to the end of
skirt and then, following the diagram,
make wide box pleats, folding the mate
rial from the first and third pin marks
in the direction of the arrows to the
second pin mark and from the fourth
and sixth pin marks in the direction of
the arrows to the fifth line.
Do this at either side. Stitch down
the pleats to the desired depth and
press carefully under a damp cloth.
Join the back and front pieces together
and haste up the side seams, tapering
off the seams over-the hips, and take
darts at either side of the back to take
up the rest of the fullness.
The dimensions given here are for a
woman of SO or 80 bust measure. For
larger or smaller figures allow more or
less room at the sides. or for an I'M
usually small or large figure make the
front tucks a little narrower or wider.

for De Charolais to escape not only with
his life. but his liberty! They expressed
cynicism which Is well illustrated In
two anecdotes of Louis XIV.
1t was while playing cards with Louis,
after a supper at Versailles, that M. de
Chauvelin, one of his ministers, was
fatally stricken with apoplexy. His head
dropped forward on his breast, he fell
over the table and then slipped to the
floor, where he lay unconscious.
| Courtiers sprang to assist him. He
is Ill., one said, looking toward the
King.
HE is dead" rejoined Louis. Spades
are trumps, gentlemen"
A few days later the King was out
driving, when one Of his horses fell and
died On the spot.
"Why, that is Just like Chauvelin, ''
said the monarch, with cold curiosity.
1t was his only Grafton on his departed
minister.
Louis XVs cold heart was perhaps
an inheritance from Louis XIV. When
the latter's mistress, Louise de Ia VAL
liere, from whom he had been separated
a long time, died, he said. although she
had been the mother Of many OF his
children: For. me she already has
been dead too long for me to weep Tor
