on their purchases of food stuffs
on the surplus list, was put into
effect in Great Falls last week.

involved the advertising of a set of
reference books selling for several
hundred dollars a set, and direct
ing a sales force of 80 statesmen to
follow up the written requests for
booklets describing the set. Many
of these inquiries came from chill
dren who could not buy and were
therefore a constant cause of an
noyance and wasted effort.
In the midst of his scoffing at the
restaurant advertisement that car
ried no telephone number, he sud-
denly realized that his own adver-
tisements, circulars and letters did
not feature the telephone number of
his own local office. It was i'm
mediately added to his advertising.
He discovered that telephone in
quiries about the reference books
came only from interested people
and resulted in high percentage
of sales. He also found that al
though children may write for book
lets they do not telephone for them.
A cause of wasted effort and ex-
pense was thus eliminated by fea-
turing the telephone number.

Two methods of preserving indef-
initely in their natural colors such
agricultural specimens as leaves,
flowers, fruits, seeds, insects, and
other biological material have been
developed by chemists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The processes, while supplementing
each other, have different fields of
application-one for dried and the
other for fresh material.
In the method studied by DR..
Charles E. Sando, specimens are
suspended and embedded in metha-
crylate, crystal-clear plastic sim
liar to materials used in making
nonshatterable airplane windows.
In this process, the specimens must
be dehydrated or dried out to pre-
vent moisture from clouding the
glass-like plastic material. They
may be air-dried or dehydrated by
use of alcohol or ether.
Corn and other grains or seeds,
insects, or anything that does not
lose its color or shape with drying,
may be preserved by this method,
possibly only under controlled lab
oratory conditions. Once the plas-
tic sets it can be machined and pol
ished to high luster so that the
specimen may be viewed from any
angle without distortion. The larg-

Word Cigar Derived
From Spanish Garden

How did the words cigar and Gig
arctic get into the language? It
seems to be another old Spanish
custom.
When tobacco was still novelty
the acme of hospitality was for
host to offer guests small rolls of
homegrown tobacco for smoking,
usually with the explanation "Es
de mi cigarraP' Git is from my
garden). The word "cigarral"
means an orchard or fruit garden.
Strangers to the Spanish language
came to regard the word "cigarraT"
as describing the gift rather than
it's place of origin. The word was
soon shortened to "cigarro" and
finally to the English "cigar." The
word cigarette means, literally, .
small cigar.

est mount prepared so far is an ear
of hybrid corn.
The other method, developed by
G. R. Fessenden, is a chemical
process for treating fresh plant ma
terial in such way as to tougher
the tissues and set the natural col
or. The natural beauty of flowers,
or the exact appearance of either
healthy or diseased leaves, can be
preserved by immersion in special
ly formulated water removing
syrups. Each plant species requires
an individual treatment which has
to be worked out from seven gen.
eral types of formulas.
The old method of preserving
botanical specimens-pressing and
drying-was unsatisfactory because
of loss of color and the fact they
were easily destroyed by handling
or by insects or mold. Specimens
preserved by this new method are
sealed between sheets of cellulose
film so as to be protected from
damage.
Due to the expected permanence
of specimens preserved by either
method, excellent records of both
healthy and abnormal plants and in
sects may be made available for
scientific research, study, and ex-
hibition.

CHAPTER VII

Norwood left his horse in charge
of the sails at the palace front gate.
He intended to return and ride up
the long drive to the front door for
his formal call on the Maharajah.
But the footpath to the guesthouse
was shorter than the winding car
riage-road, so he walked, to leave
the iodine for Mrs. Harding. On the
way he saw Lynn and Rundhia.
Lynn was no longer in riding
breeches. She looked delicious in
a frock of nile-green print and a
wide leghorn hat. Norwood wasn't
sure, but he suspected she knew
she could be seen from the guest
house veranda, and that Rundhia
did not know. She and Rundhia
were laughing. Suddenly Rundhia
snatched her hat off, used it as
shield to hide behind, caught her
in his arms and kissed her. It was
no fool of kiss. 1t was an expert
ence. Lynn did make show of re-
sistance. She struggled free and
recovered her hat.
Norwood's view of it, against the
background of the leghorn hat, made
him set his jaw. But he relaxed it
again and smiled, bit grimly, a
bit maliciously. From the opposite
direction he had heard what sound
ed like an oath, although it was
nothing worse than the well-bred, al
most inarticulately gurgled word:
"Hussy!"
Aunty Deborah Harding had also
seen that lingering and only laugh
ingly resisted kiss.
Aunty was on the screened We
randa, propped on pillows, on
reed chaise Tongue, with table
beside her. A native servant was
just in the act of removing tray
of breakfast things.
MAY I approach" asked Nor
wood, cor are you purdah?"
'Who is it? 1 can't see you. Oh,
yes, Captain Norwood, come in if
you can bear the sight of me. I
should look presentable. l never
had so many women in all my life
to push and pull me about. This is
my second attempt at a meal this
morning. You'll have to run away
if can't keep it down. What has
brought you, pray, at this hour?"
He had forgotten the iodine.
Thought I'd ask how you're COM
ing along"
"Will you bring my niece here?
She's beyond those trees, talking to
someone. / want her to come here
and talk to me. Will you tell her 1
said so, and please don't take no
for an answer"
Norwood strolled across the lawn,
tapping his boots with a riding whip.
He coughed a couple of times. By
the time he had peered around the
trees, Lynn and Rundhia were seat
ed opposite each other on wicker
work chairs. Lynn seemed unself-
conscious. Rundhia looked venom
ously sly; he offered Norwood no
greeting whatever.

CHAPTER vI-Continued


The Resident was in his office,
reasonably civil, but he frowned
when Norwood told him about the
palace supper.
"You met the Hardings, I sup
pose? What did you make of them"
Tourists. Beautiful niece. Ter
rible aunt. l gathered, without be-
ing told, that the aunt has money.

sibility of scandal"

eyes. was alone with him until
midnight. He showed me all the
documents that he seems to think
bear on his claim to own that tenn
pie property. He seems very anx-
ious to avoid a lawsuit, and it isn't
difficult to guess why, though I'm
not a lawyer. He showed me moth
ing that even half persuaded me he

course, we'll know more when we've
run the survey. But as far as I've
gone, I should say the priests have

"You sound prejudiced."

ing. Are you game to wait here
until Tuesday?"
"No. I'm coming with you" She
glanced at Rundhia: "You'n excuse
us?"
81 excuse you," he answered.
Norwood looked so confortless
that Lynn noticed it:
'What are you worried about?"
ooh, nothing. I was wondering
what your aunt eats"
She laughed at him. 'Liar! That's
the very first time you haven't spo-
ken like polished ramrod."
II told part of the truth. l am
worried about you"
ttYou needn't be. I'm all right"
She ran forward to speak to her
aunt. The tray of breakfast things
was being carried out by a palace
servant. Norwood stopped the man,
inspected the tray, and selected a
piece of toast. He looked for some
thing to wrap it in. That reminded
him. He CROPPED in his left-hand
pocket for the iodine, tore off half
the paper in which Stoddart had
wrapped the bottle, stuffed the I'M
tidy package back, wrapped the
toast in the torn-off paper and put
that into his right-hand pocket.
"I'm expected at the palace, so
l can't stay, Mrs. Harding. I
brought you some fresh iodine, in
case the doctors stuff is pretty an
cient, as sometimes happens.
He plunged his hand into his tunic
pocket and Lynn came to the screen
door to receive the bottle. He looked
at her, cropping with his left hand,
trying to pull out the bottle without
the untidy paper; but a piece of
string, tied with one of Stoddart's
knots, prevented. So he pulled out
the disgraceful package with a
quick smile of apology.

MAKERS
Ads, Telephone
Make Excellent
Sales Combine
By GEORGE T. EAGER

THE essence of good sales
Il manship is to make it easy
for customers to buy. But de-
spite the fact that the number
of telephone calls made each
day exceeds the number of let
tiers written each day, many
business men who advertise
their goods or services, fail to
list their telephone number in
advertisements, circulars and
letters.
A few days before last New
Years day the sales manag-
err of an important book publishing
company noticed large display adj
vertisement of a restaurant in the
local newspaper of small town in
Pennsylvania. Although most of the
space was used to urge customers
to telephone their reservations for
New Years Eve, the restaurant
failed to publish the very telephone

a florists shop-in fact, any enter
prise that deals with the general
public may have buried in it an
interesting and appealing story that
properly told would increase sales.
Routine often keeps the very men
responsible for its existence from
approaching its virtues.
1t has been frequently observed
that newspaper men and novelists
who write most interestingly about
the city are usually from the coun-
try. To their fresh point of view
routine things become novel and
vivid. Like the advertising man
they have the outside point of view.

Hello, SAID Lynn, you we
dropped something"
He stopped, picked up what lay at
his feet but didn't recognize it. It
was a quite small black paper en-
velope.
II saw it fall from your pocket"
said Lynn.
He opened it. It contained neat
ly folded paper of diamonds. Nine
large, clear white brilGants shone
in the sun. He scowled at them and
stuffed the package back into his
pocket, evidently upset. He ap-
peared to hope that Lynn hadn't seen
the diamonds. He seemed about to
mention them, but changed his
mind. Lynn thought he seemed sus-
picious of her. Then suddenly:
"Excuse me, won't your"
He walked away. Lynn's eyes fol-
lowed, wondering. He looked like a
man who has been hit hard and is
trying not to show it.

eyes, Aunty."
"Come here!"
Lynn faced about: ''Aunt De-
borah! I have seen someone staring
at what he dreaded. Or it seemed
to me So"
LYNN, please rearrange my pill
lows"
1t was not Aunty's cultured, con-
ventional voice but the hard, I'M
sympathetic one in which she al
most always commanded attention
to her comfort as prelude to the
luxury of an explosion of temper.
Two palace women, loaned by the
Maharanee, had been fussing with
the pillows less than five minutes
before. Lynn rearranged them. She
waited. Her silence offered the old
termagant no opening, so Aunty
Harding abandoned her usual gradu-
al style of attack. She exploded:
"Don't dare to speak to me, you
sullied creature, until you have
washed your mouth! There is soap
and water in the bedroom"
"Aunty-!"
''Wash your mouth this minute!
I saw you-permitting yourself to
be kissed by Prince Rundhia!"
"Aunty, I'm no longer five! Aren't
you forgetting"
''To my humiliation I remember
too much! You are old enough at
least to try to keep up an appear
ance of decency."
"Aunty, there's no harm in kiss
after breakfast! It's kisses after
midnight that"
'Don't you dare to try to justify
your grossness! Even your grace
less father had enough sense of his
social position to keep his indecen-
cies out of sight!"
"Aunty!"
Don't 'aunty' me! You inherit
your fathers wantonness."
II never knew him." Lynn an
swered. II only know what you and
other people have told me. Others
seem to have admired him. Wasn't
he merry and brave and generous?
Would he have endured your injus
tice? I have had to. For seventeen
years. Aunty, am very near the
end of endurance. I knew you were
looking. That is why let Rundhia
kiss me-"
Lynn repeated: 81 kissed Prince
Rundhia, in a spirit of fun and part
ly to defy YOU
"Fun indeed! Vulgar, suggestive
improperly, with an Indian prince
whose immortality is notorious!
Whether or not disinherit you will
depend"
Lynn's rebellion fared to it's inev-
table climax. She interrupted :
'Disinherit me now, if you please!
Do it now, Aunty. I have made
my last submission to your cruel
money! You have educated me so
that haven't one chance in thou
sand to earn living. God knows
what I can do. But will find some
thing. I accept the odds. will
make go of it somehow"
Aunty's stare was skeptical, scorn-
full. Lynn turned away.
