These can be little rullH fully equlppod to tuck In a satchel fur traveling, a small work bag to hold a bit of embroidery, a hanging bag to have materials In readiness for odd Jobs and a coilapsl ble box that can be flattened out for packing. For the roll cut bronze leather Into b strip six Inches wide and twelve Inches long, lined with flowered silk In the same proportions and bound wltb brown silk braid. Make two circles of pasteboard two Inches in diameter with leather and silk. Sow Ike strips around them to make a pocket for spools. On the lung flap sew notched leaves of flannel for needles, and beyond It stitch Into compartments a half Inch wide rib bon to nold scissors, bodkin, thimble, it lift to. Fasten lengths of ribbon to the end for tying the case when rolled. A collapsible work box may be made from a five Inch square of card board and two 12 inch squares, one for the outside of suede, glazed leath er, velvet or cretonne; the other of figured plain silk for Inside. Insert the small square between the two pieces of material and stitch closely around It. Itound off corners of bag and bind with ribbon or silk braid, three quarters of an Inch wide. To the center of two of the sides sew pockets of the lining material, and on the other two sections put a needlebook of leaves of flannel and a emnll heart-shaped pin cushion. S!W ten-Inch strips of ribbon, two to ach corner, placing them about an nch In each side of the rounded edg ), These when tied draw the ma terl tl Into shape, throwing the ful rcsi on Inside of box. A little prac tice with paper will make the Idea plain. It Is so useful to have near the dressing table some sort of sewing equipment that the little hanging case will surely be acceptable. Cov er an oblong piece of cardboard three by five Inches with dark flowered bro cade or ribbon. To middle of top ew a small needlebook of pinked flannel with a silk or raffia top. Un derneath stitch a strip of ribbon to hold scissors, and at one side a tiny pouch for the thimble. Fasten hang ers of some ribbon at top of case. Four spools of thread are attached to the case by thort lengths of ribbon or cord knotted at one end so the spool does not slip off, the upper end sewed to each corner of the case so the spools hang down.

"VANITY BOX" MOST USEFUL Duty of Every Woman to Preserve Her Look to the Very Best of Her Ability. Men carry as a constant Joke the fact of tbo women folks having with them their little vanity box. Now, as a matter of reason a woman has as much right to carry a vanity box, which makes her appearance a mat ter of importance, as a man has to shave himself. A woman only shows her good sense In trying to preserve her good looks, for It Is quite easy to look a fright If one Is a little lax In touching up. The men of late have been carrying In the tops of their hats a tiny mirror In which they can note If their hair Is unmussed, collar and tie correctly ad justed, etc., and so forth; ao why should women act surreptitiously In their use of the vanity box, which Is a necessity to her well being If she considers her beauty of any account whatever? And what woman wouldn't be beautiful? suspended scissors, a thimble case, a needlebook und spools of thivad. A dulnty small workbag can be niaile in melon shape. Cut pasteboard In five oval pieces measuring six Inches across the center, the widest part. Taper to point at each end. Cover, each piece with flowered silk on outside and plain on Inside, allow lug a half Inch for turning In. When the pieces are finished Join the sections edge to edge by over casting, when they form a melon shnped bag. Fasten a ribbon to the points for a hanger r.nd add a small rosette to cover the Joining Such a bag Is pretty In green or brown suede lined with guy silks, or In linen with a cross stitch or floral design em broidered on all but the center "c Hop, which forms the bottom Old pieces of brocade make handsome bags, the seams covered with gold cord, which Is also used for hanger. Add a tasBel on euch point. Patching of Overshoes. Rubber overshoes can be patched with a strip of Hiirgeon's adhesive plaster If the hole Is not too large. If leather "lifts" are fitted Into the heels of rubbers the overshoes will wear longer than without thetn. Ifi&sransss lloth high and low neckwpur Is be ing shown in the new stylus. Many French handkerchiefs are embroidered In delicate colors. Rosettes in novel shapes are fash ioned of straw with centers of silk. For belts, the black-and-white stripes are used in leather and silk. Cluny, In bnndings, is very popular for trimming tbe bottoms of the new skirts. Prominent among the trimmings are the dashing effects In quills and rosettes. The new marqulsrtte waists are lovely. Many of thetn are embroidered In colors. Many skirts show tunics that are buttoned over at one side under rows of buttons. Striped and dotted rainproof fou lards are very attractive for hoods for motoring. The season's poke bats have been ardontly taken up by fashionable women who motor. New skirts are over two Inches wide, but heavily weighed at bem to maintain straight lines. Waistcoats or vests, some with, some without, revere are seen la many of the new coats. For tailored suits a novel material Is "aero raye." It Is not so heavy as cheviots or serges and comes In most attractive colorings.

Attractlvenes Is nine-tenths of the battle In the conquest of the other sex. Handkerchief Neckwear. Many of the smart styles of sum nier neckwear may be copied by the use of handkerchiefs, and for those who have a talent for tbe needle the task Is quite simple. The very sheer handkerchief with the flno scalloped buttonholed edge make pretty sailor collars, and an extra handkerchief can be used for the stylish turnback cuffs. Another style of handkerchief wbtch can bo converted Into pretty neck accessories Is tho one with tbe plain colored border. A dark blue lin en border with a touch of red makes a pretty combination. The shod cross barred handkerchiefs are lovely for the wide square collars and cuff a while the handkerchiefs with crosi bar lines In color are also prett) when tastefully used, NEW SECRETARY OF WAR I if 4 ' , ' - L - fM 'v ' '') tl ' - gi.

MUSHROONS IN MINE Crops Grown Cheaply and Suc cessfully in Coal Regions. 6ome Bright Person Who Knew Some thing About Plant Discovered That Dark Underground Chambers Were as Good as Cellars. New York. "Do you see these?" remarked a man who raises mush rooms, as he pointed to a pile of mushrooms. "Well, I happen to know that those mushrooms came out of a coal mine In Pennsylvania. "Seems funny, doesn't It, that mush rooms and coat should come from the came place, but the fact Is that quite a few mushrooms are taken out of tho mines now. Occasionally they help to glut the market, too. "Of course, as everybody knows, mushrooms are raised In cellars, and two essentials are a proper fertilizer carefully applied and an even tem perature. Some bright person who knew something about mushrooms riiscovered that when It came to grow ing them artificially the dork cham bers of a mine were ta good as the ordinary cellar, and that you could ralEo mushrooms at less cost In them. "In the first' place, the mules fur nished Just the right kind of manure for nothing, and then the temperature of a mluu Is always even, so that It cost nothing to supply heat. There are lots of places In the Pennsylvania coal mines which can be used for growing mushrooms, and before long mine mushrooms are certain to be (jultt a factor In the market, I be lieve. "The largest part of New York'B supply of mushrooms comes from Pennsylvania anyway and some of the largo growers are located In the coal regions, henco It Is not strange that the Idea of growing them In mines should be taken up there. "Nowadays the profit In raising mushrooms for the market Is Dot what It used to be. Formerly the mushroom grower could easily get $1 a pound tor them and was always suro of getting his crop taken as fast as It matured. Four thousands pounds of mushrooms might be called a fair crop for the man who makes a bust nous of growing them and as you can got a crop every six weeks with care ful planning, you can see bow profit able It was then. "The number of mushroom raisers boa Increased tremendously In the laBt few years, with tbe result that last week, for example, you could buy the best mushrooms for 26 cents a pound. The"mushroom market is uncertain, bocause It Isn't regulated at all. There are no seasons for mushrooms and no combination of growers. Hence at times the market Is glutted with them, while at other times tbe amount brought In Is small and the price goes up. f "A lot of people have gone Into mushroom farming with a view of sup- SECURE STRENGTH IN SUGAR Doctors Prescribe Saccharine Food as Heart Tonic, Wasting Disorders and Nervousness.

For the rea son, why see the grave discussion In the medical periodicals summarised la the New York Medical Journal. Tbe British Medical Journal began the Inquiry In articles by Sir James POT plying a few select customers, such as the large restaurants. I know a French waiter who today is making Jo, 000 a year out of what might be called a small mushroom farm. "All the work In mushroom farming comes In starting your bed, and that Isn't real hard work. After that all you've got to do Is see that It Is kept at the proper temperature by means of the fertilizer. In six weeks you get your crop. "The mushroom market to some ex tent has been hurt by the plan adopt ed by some farmers of giving away mushrooms as a bonus to their cus tomers wltb the other produce. A lot of truck farmers are raising mush rooms In their cellars Just for this pur pose. ' "The Long Inland farmers haven't taken up mushroom farming as a com mercial venture to any extent and most of tho mushrooms brought hero from Long Island are natural ones. They are in a class by themselves and don't bring anything like as much as the artificial mushrooms. Most peoplo are afraid of the natural mushroom the old fear of confounding It with a toadstool, I suppose. Anyway, you can't sell them like the others." FLIPPED COIN FOR MILLIONS Men Buy Land Where Little Silver Piece Falls and Are Rewarded by Forturn. In Oil. San Francisco. Four thousand bar rels of oil a day are gushing from an old oil field in the Dakersfleld coun try that was discovered through the flipping of a sliver coin. The owners of the gusher are Clarence Horry, John D. Spreckles, Jr.; William Ma gulre and Charles Holbrook, said to be worth millions. Recently offered an option on oil lands they were dubious about the prospect. "Which bit of land to buy we don't know," said Spreckles, "so let us toss a coin and see where It falls. We'll buy there." The other agreed. A coin was spun high In the air. The place where It foil was marked out. The property was acquired. Engineers were put to work. The flrt boring made was at the spot whare tho coin fe '.. In, less than a week oil began to spurt. Now the chief concern of the investors In the land Is to surrly enough barrels to take care of the gushing oil. Dog Hat Gold Tooth. New York.

Californian Who Swallowed Tiny Piece of Steel Thought He Was Suffering From Liver Trouble, Rheumatism and Tuberculosis, Los Angeles, Cal. The wanderings of Ulysses seem as nothing when com pared with those of a black-beaded steel pin which for nine years traveled crratlcully through the body of Fran cis Mc.VIunn, constantly keeping his life in Jeopardy, and which was re moved from the calf of his left leg at the county hospital. McMann, who Is thirty-two years old, a native of Philadelphia, for some time thought he wus bewitched by tbe vagaries of the pin. Nearly nine years ago, while In the Quaker city, he was asked to pin the back of a dress for his four-year-old niece. He was handed several black headed pins for the purpose. As he was not an expert at the task Mc Mann put the plus lu his mouth for safekeeping and lu his eagerness to do well swallowed one of them. More than a year after swallowing tbe pin he was troubled with sharp pains In his back and, as poultices and plaster gave no relief, he consulted a physician, who told him he had liver trouble. As time elapsed the pains be came more erratic and McMann decid ed that be bad rheumatism. Four years ago he became troubled with a sharp cough which caused bis health to decline rapidly. He left Philadelphia and came to Ixs Angeles, where he worked for tbe Maler Brewing company for a few months. The California air did not seem to benefit his cough and he ap plied for admission to the county hos pital. He was diagnosed as tubercu lar and admitted to the Institution. Three years ago an X-ray was applied to test the condition of his lungs. The examination disclosed that the pin, which McMann readily remembered to have swallowed, was lodged In bis left lung and was causing serious trouble with that organ. It was found that an operation would be Impossible and treatments were ap plied to alter the course of the pin, the patient being kept continually In a re clining position upon his left side. About a year ago X-ray examina tions showed that the pointed little In truder had altered its course and was headed for the patient's heart. At one time It was located within half an Inch of the heart's left ventricle and the life of McMann was despaired of. The pin, however, changed It! "schedule" and started In a downward direction. Its progress was anxiously watched and the physicians decided that wben the traveler got below the diaphragm an operation could be per formed successfully. Three months ago It penetrated the diaphragm and lodged In the muscles of McMann's back, where the action of the muscles forced It rapidly down ward. It was observed that each day the pin was becoming farther removed from the vital organs and the all-Important operation was delayed until conditions were most favorable. An examination recently disclosed the wanderer close to the surface In the muscles of the calf of tbe pa tient's left leg, whence It bad traveled, closely following the bones of the limb. A simple operation was per formed and the pin, looking little tbe worse for wear, removed. HUNNEWELL'S WOMAN MAYOR M IS.

THROUGH v.,': : , ; J 7"v -f n I Christians as Shin ing Lights By REV. H. M. TIMMON3 Piilor Wuhlnf ton A. Me hodlx Church, Uouilon.Tn TKXT-Ye Hre the light of th world. Matthi-w 5, 16. One of the greatest utterances of any age is the sermon on the mount. It was spoken to the disciples. There Is nothing In It directly addressed to the unsaved. Christ Is the light of the world. We understand that, yet Me says, "Ye are the light of the world." There Is really no discrep ancy here for we say the lamp lights the room yet In reality It Is the oil In tho lamp that gives the light. There Is In us no light by reason of our be ing, but still we are the light of the world. Christ Is tho light and we re flect fJ'.a light. We frhine Insofar as we art so He can shine through us There are degrees In Christianity. One light shines more brightly than an other, according to the amount of oil and general condition of the lamp. One Christian shines more brightly than ni oilier, according to the place he re serves for Christ In his life and the ctaracter of life he lives. We have the positive Injunction that Christians are to do everything In their power to secure that their light shine as brightly as possible. We are to do this by the position we take up. A lamp on the floor will not give as much light as when sus pended from the celling. The Chris tian position Is the most exalted one In the world. All civilization Is caused by Christianity. All learning that has ever benefited the race has been fostered by Chris tianity. The -fact that we are Christians should give us more pleasure thun anything. We are not only Individual Christians, but wo are members of society, and what affects society af fects us and vice versa. We shine by the character we form. Character Is the most important thing In the world. We may have groat wealth, but If we have not a wealth of character we are poor Indeed. We may have all tbe polish society can give us, but If we have not a brilliant character we shine very poorly. The world Is demanding character as never before. To say nothing of religion, the world at large demands that a man be possessed of a good character If he should bold a position in their affections. It Is so In business, and becoming more and more so In pol itics. Eloquence baa charmed Its mil lions, but there Is no eloquence quite so powerful as a good man's life. Some men are remembered because of their eloquence, but if there Is also strong manhood they are all the more Im mortal. We Increase the brilliance of our lives by the effort we put forth for the conversion of others. 'TIs here that many Christians exhibit practical self ishness or else they do not value tbeli religion very highly. If It Is what we claim for It then we should desire It for all people. There Is a negative side to this ques tion. We should remove everything that tends either to ohacure or bide our light, or which so affects It as to make It suggestive of ourselves rather than of Ciod. It la usually the small things that hide most effectively. A lighthouse keeper once lighted bis well-trimmed lamps. A few hours later he was notified that his light was out. On examination It waa found that thousands of tiny insects had covered the lamp. Surrounding some of us there Is such a cloud of sin till the light If thure.be any cannot shine through. We should keep ourselves clean of all practical inconsistencies. Incon sistency Is Impenetrable. We should avoid all self display. Many people who profess to be Christians seem to think it Is there first business to tell people of It. If you are a Christian no one knows It better than your near est neighbor. It Is not your preroga tive to glorify yourself, but God. Tlie most attractive style In writing Is that simple stylo which lends one to think of tho Bubject niattrr rather than th style of the author. So the most benutlful and most ef fective Christian life Is that ono which leads peoplo to think not so much of the person, but of tbe Christ that Is being lived. The Spirit of Meekness. You should make a special point of asking God every morning to give you, before all else, that true spirit of meekness which ho would have his children possess. You must also make a firm resolution to practice yourself In this virtue, especially In your Inter course with those persons to whom you chiefly owe It. You must make It your main object to conquer yourself in this matter; call It to liitiid a hun dred times during the day, commend ing your efforts to God. It seems to me that no more than this Is needed In order to subject your soul entirely to bis will, and then you will become more gentle day by day, trusting whol ly In his goodness. You will be very hnppy, my dearest child, If you can do this, for God will dwell In your heart; and where he reigns all la peace. But If you should fall antf commit Borne of your old faults, do not be disheartened, but rise up and go on again, as though you had not fallen. Francis de Sales. To Walk With God. Life Is full of minor vexations aa well as major sorrows, and for both the little and the big troubles divine grace must constantly be sought and put Into exercise, lest this or that dis ciple be swallowed up of overmuch sorrow, as Paul feared some in his time might be. Life U a school, and In every school discipline must be mnlntulned. Many of the hard testa that come to us are of our own In curring, and all are meant for our spiritual good. If God did not love us he would permit us always to be at easo In Zlon. There are gains and ad vantages, as the world regards them, which are dear at any price, Blnce they tond to separate us from God. It Is better. If need be, to walk In the dark with God than to go alone In the light.
