1t was Monday morning. The Page

week end. They left late Sunday night.
Company was good fun, but it left
Nancy worn out. No maid, niece
years old, son, who was 4; 10
month-old baby daughter and a hus-
band kept Nancy buster than ever she
had been before.
AS she lifted the tablecloth to shake
out the crumbs she groaned to think
of all the work ahead of her. The
clothes had to be sorted and prepared
for the laundress who came on Tuesday,
the rooms had to be cleaned, beds made,
food ordered, meals planned-Nancy's S
thoughts went on and on until she grew
more tired by the minute.
She pulled herself up with q start.
Now see here, Nancy Page, you can't
do more than one thing at a time. You
don't have to do the whole weeks work

Why don't you attack the dishes which
are Just ahead of you, get them out OF

was hunting. When the hunt
er was rich. he went forth on
~ horseback or in a chariot
with servants in his party to
carry the game. At one side of the
sorts of wild animals roamed and found
their food
The weapons were spears and bows
and arrows. The arrows were tipped
with copper, bronze or iron, and had
feathers to make them fly straight.
The hunting party took along goat
skins filled with water as well as jars
of wine and baskets of bread and meats.
A rich hunter did not care to depend
upon game for food while out on q
sporting trip.
Reaching the country where it was
hard to travel by horseback or in
chariot, the hunters tied their steeds
and went forward on foot. Dogs which
hunted singly or in pairs helped to
round up the game.
An old Egyptian picture shows a
hunting scene. Arrows have been fly
ing thick and fast at two wild cattle,
but only one hunter is in view. He is
about to set loose another shaft. A
dog, behind one of the cattle, does not
seem as all excited. That is one Of
the troubles with the art Of ancient
Egypt-the pictures do not show action
we'll.
Flocks of wild geese and ducks used
to visit the marshes near the banks of
the Nile. Egyptians tried to bring down
these birds with arrows or with throw
ing sticks" The throwing sticks were
very much like boomerangs in appear
ance.
Sometimes ducks and geese were
caught alive in nets. When their wings
were clipped they could be tanned and
kept in farmyards.
Egyptian hunters pursued and killed
foxes, wild sheep leopards and lions.
Those who had the time and money
often made long Journeys to the south
to hunt elephants. The big beasts were
trapped in pits before any attempt was
made to kill them.

sometimes use the cheeta, or hunting

BABY's BLANKET, A SHIP OF
SINET, AND LITTLE DUCKS IN A
ROW ON TOWELS ARE DAINTY
IDEAS FOR GIFTS EASY TO MAKE.
For this reason it is wisest to have the
gifts collected beforehand and as
sembled without there being any ap-
pearance Of them until the right time.
Each person decides for herself Just
what she herself will give, although
there may be conference beforehand
so that there are no duplicates. This
does not mean that there shall be but
enc pair of seeks, or one blanket, etc,
but that designs and kinds vary in
some particulars.
While each person contributes a gift
Or perhaps more than one article
each may also give something toward
some especially large thing, which thing
is apt to be bassinet, into which all
the other gifts are put. The bassinet
may be expensive .sndx, be parchas sed
complete frem some shop. or it may
be simple one homemade, but not
lacking in any of the charm of dainti-
ness.
An ordinary clothes basket covered
with mercerized sateen, both inside and
out, and then with orga ndy, plain or
dotted muslin, or some sheer white
material will fulfill these requirements
One person may give the pillow, and
another the case, while a third gives
the mattress, and another the blankets
and still another the coverlet. Or. as
mentioned above, the complete bassinet
can be given with money contributed
for it. Some one of the group may
cover the basket-which may be her
contribution to the gift rather than
money
Another fine container for the vari-
a third is little chest of drawers to
hold the layette, part of which is in
side and the gifts OF those at the
shower. A standard folding rubberized
tub is another good container. It's as
scciation with water makes it an ap-
pealing one for a shower

A general firming in the domestic

The week found wholesale prices
moving slightly higher after an ex-
tended period of decline, and security
prices reversing the recent downward
trend.
Fishers Wholesale Price Index ad-
vanced from 602 to 60.3 as a result OF
higher agricultural prices. Non-agri-
cultural prices declined. Both cotton
and wheat prices moved higher.
Bank debts, outside New York, were
slightly lower than in the preceding
week on a daily average basis. Business
failures were lower, and continued to
run below year ago. Bank deposits
again increased, following the tempo
rary drop of the preceding week..
A further decline occurred in the
loans of the reporting member banks
although the volume of commercial
loans was unchanged. Time money
rates again receded to new low point,

COAL MINES HELD
BETTER Off THAN
OTHER INDUSTRIES
Operations at 81 Per Cent of
Full Time Cited by Con-
gress Secretary.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

The coal mines OF the United States
of full time, have suffered much les.
than other basic industries.
Such is the conclusion of ]. F
Callbreath, secretary of the American
Mining Congress, who declared that
from facts derived from figures col
lected by the Mines Bureau from mine
operators showed that at the beginning
of the year all but AIS of the 6,05f
bituminous coal mines operating in 1925
were still working. ~
Domestic Use Helps.
Tonnage produced dropped from
535, ,000, 600 tons in 1929 to 382. .0o0, 900
tons at the end of 1884," CalIbreath
said. This decrease of 268 per cent
compares favorably with the 80 per
cent drop in the production index OF
the Federal Reserve Board. Coal has
Jared better than general business
Domestic heating improved the business
average for COAL" he said.
Although some industries, like tobac-
CO, show relatively little decline, there
are others, Mr. Callbreath pointed out
like steel. that have shown a shrinkage
to as little as one-fifth of normal. Fol
example, he said, the decrease in work-
ing time of men in bituminous mines
was from 308 potential working days to
l60 days in 1881, an operating ratio
for the bituminous mines of So per cent
of full time. When this is compared
with the depths reached in some other
industries the showing is not dis
couraging.
Loss at Mines Sharper.
The loss in sales realization at the
mines was much sharper, he said. "Ir
1925, bituminous operators received
S953, ,000, 600 for their product, +. O. b.
mine, and the following year this de-
creased 80 per cent. The shrinkage OF
value was due partly to decreased ton
mage and partly to lower prices. The
average realization TO the mine in 1925
was S178 per ton. Two years later II
had fallen to $1.54, a decrease of 1917
per cent. This drop was less than the
drop in the general level of commodity
prices"
The average shrinkage Of mine en-
ployment was 101a per cent, as indi-
Gated by a pay roll drop from 503,00C
in 1929 to 100000 in 1881.
