I ALICE DAVISON, of New York, Is set-i"i-ting a splendid example, Is she not? fihe is the daughter of Mr. Henry P. Davl- on, of the American Red Cross and .1. P. Morgan & Co., and she is very wealthy. Well, wealth or not, she Is to' don overalls .nd has taken up work, and every day she Is to be seen at a radio telephone and tele- graph company In New York, where she Is employed as an Inspector and receives In remuneration $-0 a week. Alice took a trip through the radio fac tory several months ago and decided that the could fill that sort of u job and so release a man for the army, and so she took a special course In radio operating and passed a good examination and was trtven her present position.

Now It may sound just an ordinary thing to do, this studying and .taking a job, but for a girl who has not ffiul to get up in JJie mornings it she did not want to nor, for that matter, had to raise her little "finger to do anything for herself, going to a regular job on regular hours and day after lias', whether she feels like It or not, is no I'IaIpa enl elm f-netntnlv rl5nn'f nil flip encouragement coming to her. Let us rh'opo that her example will be followed by Pa- few more of the rich girls of the' conn- htry who do not have to work, but wlio by 'working can release another man for the front. , I'm proud to know Alice' Davison. A1 ND I heard another story of working ( to help the boys today which .has a very unselfish side of It. A friend of Mrs. J. Archer Rulon, of Devon, told me that Mrs. 'Rulon, who is a motor messenger, had gone down to Cape May for a short stay , nd rest?, as she really has been going ' very hard all winter. She took' her car Jwltli her. Intending to take a few pleasant ' runs In with the rest. And then she found that the, Hotel Cape ,My, whlchjhas been turned Into a hos fpltal, had a number of wounded men who ,Jmd returned from the front; and so she sjforgot all about her much-needed rest and went to the odicers and asked If any of the ;ltien could be taken out. Being a motor f messenger, she was given the privilege, sfail every afternoon she gave the hours 'from 2 until 3 to taking three boys out Jfpr tho air nnd pleasure of a ride?" She .Usually took a young girl with her to help ' entertain the bovs, and they certainly did ' enjoy themselves It was certainly unselfish to give, up txcry afternoon of a much-needed holiday, J'but the men's pleasure was an ampin re- Sward, I'm sute. And what Airs. Rulon did .Wthers could do, and It may start some car '(Owners thinking. There Hre so many ways J of helping and doing just hv a little trouble. m HOKVKR. for Instance, would havo thought that old peach stones would 'be' of any use? Well, the Oovernment asked tor them and have you by chance seen the barrels and windows at the va- $loua Red Cross headquarters'.' Why. they are' filling fast- . The barrel at Indppend jsfence Square Auxiliary, Into which I have Sfired my discarded stones, was about a quarter full after one afternoon's try at A putting It out. The prtisslc acid obtained i from the peach Is used In the manufacture j'-of the gas masks, and so every orie is K'saviwr peach stones. It's u little thing to Pdb. .but think how ft helps.

Tclxhton Induers David tn ronsent to a mental examination by mi'uus of a psychometer. CHAPTER IV iContiiH.cdi FOi: Una the affair had lost its first le nient of comedy. The meaningless woids, the monotonous seriousness with iliivh they wt-re uttered, seemed, In the beginning, a delicious b't of fooling improvised for her benefit. She rtuumitfd In the original, tho unexpected, and nothing, certainly, could he more foreign to the customary betrothal night entertBlnni,m than this ponderous pall ing of words between her loer and her uncle The real purpose of the experiment had not Impressed her The talk about ghosts gave an Amusing background to it; lut this was afterward spoiled, it ts true, by the tedious discussion of psychological prob lems. Of course. L na assured herself, this experiment 01 tills game was a psy chological problem, and she felt certain David would solve it, whatever it might be,, in the cleverest fashion. Had I'na understood from the first jus, what I.eighton intended by his propped "ghost hunt" she would hae fu-llnwed more keenly the details of this novel pastime. As It was, these details appeared to have no Intelligible object In view and failed tn arouse her interest until some little time had elapsed. Then she began speculating mi the meaning of her uncle's disconnected wolds and wondering why they drew from David Just the- replies they did. More to amuse heiself than anything Hr,,, Khe com pared the Images which these wordR evidently aroused In David's mind with the Images suggested to her. For "ship," he gave "sky" ; she thought of "water." "Mountain" produced "tired"; she would have said "view." Her word for "river" was "rowing"; his 'sunshine." He said "mystery" for "Africa" ; she, "negroi'." His words were never the same as hers. a fact Indicating the wide differences In their Individual experiences. More singular still, David's words were always remote, to mean ing or association, 'from the question-words to which they were tli answer; hrH were quite the opposite. Why, she naked her self, did he eay "angel" In response to "In dia" ; "misery" Uf 'temple" ; "Joy" lo "ocean"; "lost" to "guide": "sla-" to "friend"? As the experiment proEresed most of her uncle's words were hound together, I'na noticed hy a similarity in character. She f.n fancied she could delect In them th dlsjolntert bones of a stnty Most of Iheso words had to do with foreign nvel. and ax David was known to have visited nianv Countries It was natural that the test should follow this line, especially as this was a ouest for the Ohost of the Forgotten. tn this connection I was noticeable Hint Ihn' series of .words chosen by I.eighton re versed the itinerary which I'na was cer tain David had followed. Thus, the first question-words Indicated the F.ngllsh l.nke region, where David bad ended his travels. Then came various F.uropean countries, and after these Morocco. Kgypt, Arabia. India. China, the islands of the Pacific nnd the western coast of America Supposing that r.elghtnn had David's actual Itinerary In mind, he was going over It hv a series of backward steps, and had now reached a point at which, as I'na remembered, the long Journey began. With each backward step, also, she noted that the agitation of the electric finger In the psychometer In creased. U"avld could not see what was hap pening In the machine "behind hhu. although it whs his own emotions lhat were being recorded JJiere. Why was he so nirltntcd Whv did he try to hide his feelings? Why did these simple words from I-elghlon have. Biirh power over him As I'na asked herseir Ihese questions her sympathy for him In creased, nnd she awaited the end of the experiment with anxiety. I.elgbtnn paused 'after David matched, his question-word, "California," with "home" The electric finger threw a tremulous line of light upon the recording mirror, and In both men the Indifference shown when thev hegan this strange game was lacking. The expectancy In David's face changed to defi ance as "California" was followed hy the nue'stlnn-word "ship." Tho electric finger gave a swift upward flash and there was k longer pausn than usual before the answer .ame "storm." "Pacific." was met hv "palm Trees" and these were followed hy "land." "Indians": "hotel," "strangers"; "natives." "lost": "clue." "wealth." With the last pair of words the agitation recorded In the psychometer reached Its high est point David a face was pale, his reaiures drawn, his grasp on the electrodes intense. Lna could not hear to witness his struggle. Although Ignorant of the cause, his suffering na all ton evident, and she determined to rescue him at once from her nnclH'H cruelty I.eighton met her appeal with characteristic, coolness.

A series of similar words followed, and as the experiment took this new direction David's nervousness vanished. Then, without warning, the travel series was token un again, and this time each word came like the blow of a hammer upon a nail that Is swlfty and surely drlcn to its mark. Thcio was no mistaking tho result. Dald's limbs stiffened, as if to waid off a blow. Ills look of iclief gave place to a hopeless sort of misery; tin toll-tale electric linger jumped foiw.ird in exaggerated lilies, as if to escape from some merciless pursuer. "Smith America." demanded I.eighton. "Spaniards," after a pause, wm.s Davids answering word "Mountains." ' Muleback." "Lake." "Hold."

"Don't talk nonsense," he said coldly, yet with sympathy in his keen gray eyes "This had to be, and I took my own way about it Now, go. He is all right. He Is safe Willi me." David drew a long breath. He looked vacantly at l.elghlnn, then turned to I'na. "Do as he says." he whispered. "David, I will stay with you" "Not now; I must speak to jour uncle" "David!" She looked Into his eyes, trjlng lo rend Ihern the mystery thjjt was inrtlng them .

The hoards nf the well-worn floor creaked harshly as she walked to Iho far end of the room. Paus ing at the door, she looked hack "I will wait for you," she said When the sound of her footsteps died awnv. David turned to the old man, who was busied with his scientific apparatus "Well, how do you feel?" asked t,e1ghion. gathering up the notes whteli were strewn on the little tahla "Curiously here," repld David, drawing his hand across his forehead. Then he asked- "flow did you know?" "That's easily answered About two wars ago I read. In the Journal of Psychology, n paper hy your friend, Raoul Arthur, describ ing the strange mental effect produced on a young man, by a dynamite explosion In a South American mine.

It seems. David went to work on a project based on a legend be longing ci prehistoric America. Traditions of the Immense wealth and the civilization found In certain parts of South America by tho Spanish conquoiors had always fas c'uated him. And of all these traditions the one telling of F.l Dorado, the Glided Man. Intel ested him most. From Ihe early South American chronicles he Uarned that, within a few ears of Pl zarm's discovery of Peru, three other ex ptorors, starting independently fiom points on, the Caribbean nnd. Pacific coasts, after intuit lis of perilous adventure, readied a great tableland in the l.'pper Andes, where Bo gota, the capital of Co'oinbia, now stands. It was "Kl Dorado" who drew these ex plorers thither. From the Indians on the coast they had heard stories of the gieat Man nf (inld, who lived among the moun tains of the interior and win possessed trmsnie in vast that nl the wealth of the rest of tho world could not equal It Arrived In tills mysterious region, they found, not Hi Dorado, but a supeilor race of people, somewhat like the ancient Peruvians, showing, in the barbaric splendor of their temples and palaces, every evidence of wealth and culture. These people, however, known as the Chlbchas from their worship of the god Chlbchneum, were suspicious of the Spaniards. A war of conquest followed. In which thousands of the natives were mas sacred and their finest temples and monu ments destroyed Sajlpa, the Chibcha king, was subjected to the crudest torture by his conquerors in their effort to find out from him where he had hidden bis treasure. But he proved hero enough to suffer martyrdom rather than icval the secret. For this be was put to death, and the Spaniards ron tentfd themselves with the trivial amount of gold and emeralds extorted from his sub jects. They then established themselves in colonies on the Plains of Bogota. The climate was delightful, the land fertile nnd. as they soon discovered, rich In minerals. From the few surviving Indians they learned some of the native legends. In one of these, the Ifgend of Kl Dorado, they believed they had the due to tho treasure they had been seek ing. This legend was mixed up with tho ancient mythology of the Chlbchas. and had pla.ved 11 leading part In their lellglotis reie monlal for centuries before the arrival of the Spaniards, It was as follows: On the edge of the Bogota tableland, not many miles from the city that is today the capital of Colombia, there is n lake, Cuata vita the Sacred Lake of the Chlbchas. ecologically, it Is a pocket formed by a duster of spurs near tho foot of a conical mountain. It Is small, circular In shape, and roaches a central depth of 211 feet. Beneath this lake, according to tradition, lived the national god, Chlbchacum. Tn keep on th" light side of this god, to make atonement for the people, a semiannual frasl was observed the Feast of Rl Dorado. Twice a year the king of the Chlbchas. in lelebratlng this feastwas floatnl on .1 1 aft to the center of the sacied lake. lie v.t--then stripped of his royal tobis. his body anointed with oil and covered with gold dust. Glittering In tho sunlight llus gilded man stood at the edge of tho loyal raft and was saluted by his subjects', who encircled tho shores of the lake, inch one bearing an offering of gold and emeralds Then. n it dazzled by the splendor of their monarch, tho people reverently turned their faces away from him and, at a signal from the priests, threw their treasuies over their heads Into the lake, while the gilded man. followed by the heaps of precious slones anil metals which were with him on Iho lafl. plunged into lis waters. No god ever re ceived such a shower of wealth at his shrine as was thus lavished twice a year, for cen turies, on the god Chlbchacum. All Ibis wealth, except an Insignificant sum that the Spaniards rescued, IS today, according to the legend, at the bottom of Gnntavita. Besides this semiannual tribute, it was rumored that at tho time nf Sajlpa's murder the,. entire, remaining treasure of tho Cliibchas has been thrown Into the lake, not as a votive offering, but as a means of hiding it from the Spaulaids. II took fiflv men. so runs tradition. In carry the gold dnsl lo Giuilnvlla from the king's treasury alone All tho minor chieftains of Iho kingdom made a similar sacrifice of their possessions on this occasion Vears afterward. Iho Spaniaids, siirreil by these stories, attempted lo drain the lake This meant the pieicing of eiuih and rock walls nearly nine hundred feet thick and proved too gieat an undertaking 'fur the engineering machinery that they had In Ihnsn days But before Ihey gave up the work they succeeded In lowering the level nf the lake siiltleiently to recover a cerlaln amount of treasuie. Since lhat time the secret of Gualnvlta has lemained undis turbed. To solve It David went to Bogota . Itaoul Arthur, who had done most of the practical planning for the expedition, went with htm. The motives of the two men engageil In tho enterprise were not exactly similar. David, according lo what he told Lelghton. hoped 10 solve an archeologlcal riddle and to study a hitherto lost people who,e piehk-lorlc rlvlltxa tlnn equaled that of their neighbors, the Tncas nf Peru. Arthur, on Iho contrary, whose fortune was still to he made, regarded It frankly as a mining scheme that promised fabulojis returns In money, with a compara tively small amount of risk and labor The two points of view weie not antagonistic, and for a time the friends worked amicably enough together In Bogota they easily se cured from the Government the necessai v per mlt. to drain Guatavlla But the attractions nf the Colombian capital. th hospitality Willi which they were received, delayed the aclual working out of their plan Fascinated bv the romance of this pioiuresque cltv and charmed by the unique race of mountaineers Inhabiting It.

Kvery ill we try to borrow In this vale of woe and sorrow" This was a dictilne new to Peggy She'd always believed in smiles and laughter. Fiom the Nlghl Her ins, lined up on the opposite side of the Witch, came a similar chorus ; "U'e aie the Dolefuls never glad: We waste our time In being sad. , N'n one ran join our gloomy ciew Wlio doesn't cheerfulness eschew." Peggy looked at them in puzzled eel fin insjty wonder They If they followed thai p dlcv no lived In a swamp In the company of a witch.

"I la! ha ' ha'" I he laugh burst toith Its effect was surprising. The Dismals sat up straight, throw their heads back, and let out a lot of mournful cloaks The Dolefuls cicaked like a lot of rusty hinges and tried to stand on their heads.

Peggy s laugh was like a yawn or Iho measles it was contagious They couldn't resist it In a miniilo the Dismals and Dolefuls had foi gollen all about their mirthless doctrine and were joining In her merriment. And It was so long since they had laughed that when the laughs came they didn't know how to control them They laughed until they rolled about on the giotind. "Stop." shrieked the Witch, and she let out her awful cry That cry brought the Dismals and Hie Dolefuls up in a hurr.v. Tiie Wltch ahmptly gave them orders. "Kilofuls, g fishing Dismals, prepare the cage of the Man-Eater Roll thunder, and hurry I hem.''

Pennsylvania Calls on Patriotic ; Litizcns to rill taps ,M Due lo War V -".. s-ai - ' ' A call to patriotic men and women to. volunteer their services and relieve a serk ous situation caused by tho labor shorlagCi was made today by the Pennsylvania Hos pital, The Institution not only has been af fecled by the departure of mora than 75 per cent of -its medical and surgical Etaff for service overseas, but in all other departments as well employes have left to obtain situa-( tlons with" concerns turning out work for the Government. Daniel D. Test, superintendent of the hos pital, and president of the Hospital Asso ciation of Philadelphia, said today: "Conditions facing us at this time to meet both civilian and military necessities demand increased efficiency. Yet It Is almc.it im possible to employ orderlies, porters, clean ers, kitchen help, firemen, maids and others necessary to the maintenance of hospital work. Hach day finds the sltuatloti worse. "In France and Kngland relief from this condition has come from volunteers both men and women, who ordinarily would not think of doing sucli work, and many who have been unaccustomed to ork 111 any form. Men nnd women of high social position are giving efficient and loyal service In the most menial positions. Not only one or two da.vs a week as a pastime, but every day and all the time. "Arc we in this country going to measure up ti. the necessities of the case, and to the standatds which have been set for us by the peoples of other lauds? Sick and wounded are bound lo suffer unless voluntary aid Is offered." Since Base Hospital No 1ft. the first unit if Us kind to leave Philadelphia for France, departed on May IS. 1P17. many other em ployes have gone lo engage In Government work. This has entailed a double amount of work i.Ti those remaining with the Institution. These be'ieve they aie doing a patriotic sirvice because the hospital recently offered to the United States the use of its wards for disabled wounded or sick. At present two wards aie filled with sailors from the Im mediate naval district How to Make Mugnels Altlnugh there Is sucli a thing as a nat ural magnet, most of those In use are arti ficial. There are two general methods for making artificial magnets. The first Is to take a bar pr a needle of magnetic substance, lion or steel, wrap an insulated wire around It like a thread on a spool, and pass a strong electric current througli the wire., the other method is to take, as before, a bar or needle nt a magnetic substance and place ! near a magnet. The intensity of the magnetism In both eases is Increased by hammering the bar while the process of magnetizing is going on. A piece of steel magnetized In this way remains so for a long time, while a piece of Iron son loses Its magnetization. D. W.
