press agent, from n huddled position
on 11 paeklng box In the rear of the

p.llnl on the trapdruin, and amid the
laughter that followed Zepp retired In
defeat.
llihien heekoned to Wallace Mac

young man followed him out under
the stage. When they were alone
Q'liricu turned to him with a frown.
"Wallare, old srout," he began, npol
ogetlcully, "I hate to tell you, but
you're looking awful seedy. Th' boss
thinks It looks bad for the house. Bet

Murkily nodded dumbly, and wended
his way despondently to the stage door.
Pausing near Charlie Zepp, he wns
talking to the latter, meanwhile stren
uously brushing his spotted tuxedo

Honied by, attired for the street. She
milled merrily at the two men.
"oh, you oboe!" she greeted Mackay
ennllally, then her eyes lighted on
Zepp.
"nh, Mr. Zepp!" she cried, eagerly.
"Please give me n big write-up will
"mi? I want all my friends to see me
here this week. Please do."
"What've you done?" demanded Zepp
bluntly. "V can't get big write-ups

naall-lhne write-ups."
"And small-time press agents gener

Un'ii'd good-naturedly. "Itut maybe

"1'iiii't let that worry y' none," sym

Mnckny started, fur a vision of her

Helen, having heard every word,
turned with n white face and n sob In

manager's private office.
"Mr. Forrest, plense, can I see you

noting her anxious fare, banished his

"No, I run't sit down," Rhe told him
hurriedly. , "I wnnt to tell yon some

she poured everything she had seen

you will you do me a favor?"
"I'll try," he promised, smiling. He,
too, couldn't resist the appeal of those
soft blue eyes.
"Will you call Mnckny In and give

"He's done so much for me, nnd I
want to repay him. Here It Is," And
she hold out some bills to the manager,
who waved them aside. "
"Take 'em nwny," he replied gruffly,
to hide a choking In his throat. "I'll

her protest quickly. "Nonsense, It's

"Thank you so much," she whis

"Forrest's an awful gossip," he con

"Stop opnklng nnd say something,

"O'wnn," he snorted. "That's Mao-

Not in Any Farm Book.
Heccntly a woman who Is u college
graduate gave up her regular work and
moved to n farm. In order to make a
success of farming she not only read
books on scientific agriculture, but also
listened to the earnest advice of ex
perienced farmers. Somollmes this ad
vice was too far removed from science
to be useful.
One farmer, who probably has never
read n farmer's bulletin, heard n dis
cussion about "How to get rid of cut
worms." He snld he knew a remedy
that was sure. "Take n shotgun," ho
said, "go to the east corner of the
field, fire tlie gun toward (he west, (lien
walk straight, across the field to the
opposite corner, then fire the gun
again. This will cause every cutworm
lo disappear."

If, becnu-.e Ihisi' l ie wlir-l lines or
for otiier reasons, the bride makes up
her mind to have only a simple, wed
ding, her first step lo that end will lie
the ordering of a simple wedding gown.
Especially If her wedding ceremony Is
to take place within tho walls of her
home, Instead of In the church, must
nho consider what will harmonize best
with tile home ns a background. Long
trains and veils nnd C'lnhornti; wedding
gowns need spacious surroundings.
Where these are lacking the simpler
gown loaves tho host memories of n
pretty wedding.
The bride can forego stalellness
with ii good grace when she recalls all
tho shimmering and airy fabrics that
may lie chosen In make a wedding
gown of whatever degree of formality.
There are those misty materials like
fine voile, net, organdie, georgette, and
luce all to lie made over an underdress
of silk or satin, for those are the terms
In which tho wedding gown Is ex
pressed, whatever Its style. And then
there Is tho veil, always of mallnes or
lace, which may be draped In so many
ways that every bride may depend up
on It to add to her charm.
The simplest of wedding gown's Is
pictured on the youthful bride who
choso It, In tho Illustration above. It
Is of white not, faced nhout the bottom
of the skirt with n wide band of white
'tvie georgette. Three other bands of
georgette are placed nhout the skirt,
all on the under side. An undersllp or
very soft, white sntln gleams through
the net. There Is n draped bodice
and sleeves that nre elbow length of
georgette. I-ong sleeves, partly cov

The cessation of war will reveal n
picture of misery such ns the world
has never soon before, especially ill
tho many countries which cannot help
themselves. The American people will
expect tho Ited Cross to continue to

and peace rondltlons will determine
how we can best minister to the vast
broken areas which have I n har
rowed by war, and for this great act
of mercy the heart and spirit of the
American people must continue to be
mobilized through the American Ited

On behalf of the war council we ac

to carry on. We cannot abate one In

FEDERAL AND STATE
GAME LAWS
Shooting Must Be Confined toTime
During Which It It Not Prohibited
by Eithet Set of Regulation!
In making their plans to shoot mi
gratory wntorfowl, hunters will do
well to note (lie dates of open seusons
under both federal and state laws, ue
cording to (he United States depart
ment of agriculture. There Is confu
sion In (he minds of some sportsmen In
regard to (he opening of (he ftenson
when the dates conflict under state
nnd federal laws.
The federul law and regulations limit
the seasons before and after which no
ono may shoot these birds. If n ntate
law opens (he season later or closes
It earlier than the dates proscribed by
the federul regulations, the season In
thnt state Is Just so much further
shortened. Special attention Is railed
to tho fact thnt the federal regulations
do not authorize anyone to hunt or kill
migratory birds contrary to the stute
law.
In certain states, as for example,
Illinois, Indiana, Iown, Kansas, Ken
tucky, Missouri and South Dakota, the
souaon for shooting migratory water
fowl under the state luw would open
prior to the dnte of opening under the
federal regulations wore It not for the
fact that (he federal regulations super

Colorado Musician Asserts
Head Measurements Certain
Method of Picking Singers
A method of testing the ability of
any person to sing, without seeing him
or even hearing him, has been devised
by Theophllus Kit of I-os Angeles, re
cently director of music In the State
Teachers' College of Colorado. Tills
method, which Professor Kltr. says Is
his "contribution to science," Is bused
upon n series of measurements of the
Jicnd cavities that he declares he has
worked down to exact mathematics.
He does not find It necessary to see,
touch or hear (he subject, ns his work,
which he terms "voice diagnosis." has
become ns definite tn hlm lis mathc
mntlcx. All ho nsks Is that certain
measurements of the bend lie taken
correctly.
After learning these mciisuiemeiils
nnd tho sex of the subject, he nuikes
his own calculation as to the size and
shape of the head cavities ami an
nounces whether the subject, if a girl,
la n soprano or contralto, nnil, if n
boy, whether he should sing tho role
of n basso or of n (enor robusto.
"Mamie often sings soprano Just be-
cnuso Susie docs, although she ought
to be singing contralto," says Profes
sor Fit. "And Hill Insists upon slng
Ig bass because he thinks It is manly,
when he really ought (o be a tenor."
Persons with round heads make the
host singers, he says, because their
head cnvltles lire tho most syinmotrl
cnl ; those with long bends come nox(,
nnd (hose with oval cranium rnnk
Inst.
"It's nonsense," he says, "for people
to pass four or five years studying mu
sic to ascertain whether they can
sing, and, If so, whal purl, when bv
(hla method thov can obtain such a
decision linmodlntoly."

Ornamental Lamp-Posts
Add to Attractiveness
of the Up-to-Date City
There Is no feature of municipal
equipment that adds more to tho at
tractiveness of a city's appearance
than do ornamental street lamp-imsts
of urtlstlc nnd appropriate design. Just
us (he offocdveness or Interior decora
tions mid furnishings depend In n lurge
measure upon lighting fixtures, so the
beauty of tho street can be enhanced
or miirred by Its lights. In each case
n sntlsfactory solution of tho lighting
problem consists not only In supplying
stifuclent Illumination but also In pro
viding lighting equipment (lint hnrinon
lr.es with Its surroundings nnd pos
sesses a beauty of Its own. The old-
tlmo Inmp-post In vogue before the
days of electricity, writes Thonins J.
Dnvin, In the Houso Itcnudful, fulfilled
tho second of these conditions, but not
the first; for, although the post Itself
wns often a work of art, Its feeble oil
or gas flame seldom wns equal to the
task of Illuminating the street. On
the other hnnd, the modern overhead
are Inmp gives a fairly sntlsfnctory
light, hut the unsightly- polos, ropes,
wires nnd olhor equipment can scarce
ly be called beautiful. Now comes the
ornamental street lamppost, which
combines the beauty of one of Its pre
decessors nnd the utility of the othr.

Seaweed Discovered by
Japanese as Substitute
for Cotton Also a Food
Something has been heard lately of
the value of seaweed for food. It enn
also bo used, wo now learn, says n
writer, In the Manchester (luardlnn, as
a substitute for cotton. An account of
ibis now textile wns given recently ry
K. Hainada, vice president of the .In pa
noso houso of representatives, at n
meeting of tho Japanese Federation of
Marine Industrial associations.
The raw material mny be obtnlnod
from two kinds of seaweed, called In
Japanese segumo nnd gotnogumii.
These nre. boiled together In water
with wood ashes, and then in water
mixed with rlre bran. After blench
ing, fibers nre extracted which can lie
utilized for manufacturing purposes.
The announcement of (Ills discovery
lias awakened no llnlo Interest on the
Pacific const of America, where the
supply of seaweed Is almost Inexhaust
ible. It Is along that coast, too, that
some of the Investigations were car
ried out a few years ago by Japanese
scientists, whose explanation tha( their
visit had as Its object the study of

Bread Now Made From Wood

The search for new materials to
feed the starving stomach of Sweden
has, neoordlng to Dr. John W. Beck
man, n member of the California sec
tion of tho American Chomlcnl soci
ety, .again demonstrated (hat neces
sity Is the mother of Invention.
Sweden. locnted as It Is In the pre-
cniious position between tho two fight
ing groups of nnt Ions, has found It
hnrd to obtain Its necessities from
either of the fighting nations. In
times of ponce, Sweden has nlwnys de
pended upon Imported wheat and oth
er foodstuffs from the Fast, ns well
ns from (bo West. With thosn Imports
In ninny cases completely slopped,
Sweden hns sought Inside of l(s own
domain for new malerlals. Being n
couniry which Is well wooded, It Is
natural Hint Swedish chemists should
turn to the forests In senrch of a sub
stltiKe. This search has proven suc

typlcnl ICurnpoan dwelling In India, us

out the heat and (he tropical rains. ,
The typical native bungalow and Its
K.ngllsh derivative are In arrangement
much alike. The walls are of heavy
masonry. Both doors and windows are
very largo, and open on to verandas
which keep nut the direct rays of th
sun nnd protect the Inner rooms from
the glare of trnpicnl midday. Th
rooms nre arranged In suites, and ev
ery possible cross draft Is made tha
most of. Sometimes the roof Is of tile,
hut more frequently of maize thatch,
woven on a bamboo frame, and of
great thickness. The eves project far
beyond the wall lino.
