WALKER.* , THE SOUL SEARCH (A N ENGLISH scientist bas devoted a lot of time and effort to writing a book which he calls "In Search of the Soul." At the end the scientist finds hlmaeif no nearer discovering the whereabouts of what he was searching for or even knowing the character of the thing he sought than was Plato or Seneca or Pythagoras or Eplctetus, all great teachers, but all disagreeing when it came to the thing which none of them KNJBW anything about. • • • Always there has been a doubt as to whether the soul was within or without the body. One Investigator who died not long ago spent years of his life in an attempt to devise a weighing mechanism so delicate that he would be able to determine If there was any determinable difference in the weight of a human body Just before and just after death, hoping thereby to establish the weight of the soul. There were reports, never perhaps Justified, that the government bureau of standards had under consideration a similar line of experiments. It would be. just as satisfying, in alt probability, to try and weigh a thought, for it is probable that nothing more tangible leaves the body at death. • • • Did you ever wonder what becomes of the thinking power when the body no longer has power to breathe and move? Is the thinking power the soul? Where goes tl • genius of a Beethoven or a Mosart ant that indescribable power to group sounds into harmony when death has robbed those fingers of writing down the notes upon the ruled paper? What becomes of the analytical powers of a Newton or a Euclid or an Einstein when he can no longer pen his formulae or give to the world his conclusions? What becomes of the genius of the painter when his hand Can no longer bold the brush or of the sculptor when his hammer and chisel have been laid down for the last time? Is there tangibility to knowledge, to talent, or are they wholly spiritual and without dependence on material things and existence? Plato said, "The body Is a prison, from which the soul must be released before it can arrive at the knowledge of those things which are real and immutable." Is the soul really imprisoned within the body or is the body only an illusion which our belief elves a deceiving reality? The scientist who Is Studying matter, for no one yet KNOWS what matter is, tells us that everything material is made up of electrons and that electrons are really only a manifestation of electricity and that electricity is not matter but only energy, and we, therefore, end up with the statement that matter is not material but only a demonstration of energy, so after all what is there to the thing which we ordinarily think of as the home of the soul? What an enigma! What an eternal problem! We stand upon the edge of a great ocean and wisely discuss it as a whole when we do not know more than the merest fraction of the truth about the one wave that washes at our feet. We write books with sounding titles and confess at the end, if we are truthful, "I know nothing." • • • Only ONE thing man really KNOWS. That is that he is conscious, that he has been endowed with some power of recognition and reason. Whether his use of that power results in a truthful conclusion be does not know. It may be that one of the greatest glories and privileges of the hereafter will be to know something and know that it is the truth. There are many question marks in the paragraphs above,but all life is a question to which none of us have ever known the satisfactory answer. (Copyright.)

It happened that a printer by the name of Catnach saw a chance to make a considerable sum of money through the publication of what he alleged to be the murderer's speech from the gallows. The paper containing this report sold fairly well, but the receipts did not come up to Catnach's expectations. So he printed a second edition, with a headline In large letters across the top of the sheet: "WE ARE alive again 1" These words actually appeared in Weare's speech, as reported, but the printer purposely left very little space between the first two words of the phrase and, reading the line "WEARE alive again!" thousands of persons bought the paper before they discovered the deception. The London Times referred to the matter as a "catchpenny device" and the printer was thereafter known as "Catchpenny" Catnach. So descriptive was the word that it has remained in the language to this day. {Copyright.) ^ « * » » m m ^ » » »«. m m » %. * <f» umiimiiiiiiiiiuifiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiS | THE GIRL ON THE JOB | : How to Succeed--How to Get 2 s Ahead--How to Make Good S |By JESSIE ROBERTS| Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimn TEACHERS TEACHERS are looking about theae days for opportunities that will give them better returns than those the schools yield. This may be a pity from the point of view of the schools, but it is a fact. But msny women love teaching; and feel that they are particularly wellsuited to this work. Yet they must earn more money. There Is an opportunity for joining the two in teaching salesmanship. Many of the big department stores run classes for teaching their salespeople better methods and for giving them a chance to advance to the higher positions. Teachers are now taking special courses in selling and then going into the teaching of this branch of commerce. V There is also an opening In dWing special research work for retail ^nd department stores, and teachers are qualifying for such positions. Naturally they soon make a far greater salary than ever they got by school-teaching, and what is more the life Itself is broader, more various and fuller of opportunity. Teachers who go into commerce from this angle often develop into saleswomen themselves, and grow to prefer that work. Executive positions in retail and department stores are also open to them after the experience that comes with teaching. A certain time spent in teaching school Is good practice for almost any job. Witness how many of our famous men were at one time of their career teachers in country or city schools. But the young woman who wants to get out Into the world and make a real future for herself will not stay too long In the classroom. She will use her training to bring her the best results possible.

ATTRACTIVE Any Woman Who Desires to Establish Reputation as Good Cook Will W0 Particularly to Excel Jin Bread Making. CPr«t*r«Jt>y the United States Department of Agriculture.) No other single article of food is as frequently placed on the table or takes as prominent a place in the average diet as bread. In some form or other it is served at practically every meal, and many times is the chief article. Properly balanced with milk, butter, fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheese or a little meat, bread may well form a considerable part of our dally food. Bread and other cereal products are also among the least expensive of our foods. As it occupies so prominent a place in the diet, bread ought certainly to be well made, well baked, and properly cared for. Moreover, any girl or woman who desires to be known as a really good cook, will wish to excel particularly in bread making. An Ideal loaf of bread Is attractive In appearance; crust smooth, tender and golden brown In color; the loaf Itself light and well-rounded on top; the crumb spongy and tender; and the whole delicious In flavor. Methods for Making Bread. There are two general methods for making bread, one kuowu as the stralght-dough process and the other as the sponge process. In the straight-dough process all the Ingredients are mixed at one time and the dough is made of the proper consistency before rising. Either compressed or liquid yeast may be used for this, but not dry yeast. In the sponge process only half the total amount of flour is used at first, with all or nearly all the liquid, the yeast, and frequently the salt and the The Pride of the Artlet Is Her»s WhOee Skill Result* In a Perfect Loaf. sugar. Compressed, dry, or liquid yeast may be used for this. This mixture Is similar to a soft batter, and after the first rising the remainder of the flour, the shortening, and any other desired ingredients are added. It is then kneaded until of the proper consistency and smoothness. Decreasing Time of Process. the sponge process usually requires less yeast than the stralght-dough method, because of the softer consistency of the mixture which favors the growth of the yeast, and also because It is generally given more time. However, by using larger or smaller amounts of yeast one may shorten or lengthen the time required for rising. In a similar way the straight-dough process may be shortened or lengthened by increasing or decreasing the amount of yeast used. Great care should be taken with a sponge or dough which stands a long time--as the overnight straight dough or the overnight sponge--to keep it much cooler than when the quicker methods are used, since the former have a greater chance of becoming sour. The following bread recipes are given by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture: Short Process, or 8tralght Dough. 4 cupfuls (1 quart) lukewarm liquid. 4 te&spoonfuls of •alt. 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar. 2 tablespoonful* of shortening* If desired. 1 or I cakes of compressed yeast, or half to 1 cupful of liquid yeast. 5 to* 4 quart* of sifted flour. If milk Is used It should be scalaed and cooled until lukewarm before using. When liquid yeast Is used its volume must be deducted from the other liquid called for. This makes four loaves. Soften the yeast with a small amount of the lukewarm liquid. To the rest of the liquid add the salt. Sugar and shortening. Add the yeast and mix all together. Measure the sifted flour Into a bowl and blend with this the liquid. If too soft to knead, add more flour until of the proper consistency. Knead for five to ten minutes, or until smooth, elastic and no longer sticky. Cover with a lid or plate and place where it will be away from drafts and at a uniform tem- Handy as Container*. pockets of black or white oilcloth on closet doors or anywhere convenient make handy containers for shoes, doctclotha, etc. Ideal 8chool Lunch. The ideal school lunch is a sandwich made of graham bread spread with good pure butter, and eaten with a cop of milk. Pat a bit of very finely minced green pepper into the dressing for a roast perature of 80 to 88 degrees P. Let rise until about double its original balk or until a slight touch of the finger leaves an impression. This should happen within one to two hours if the yeast is in good condition and the temperature right. Knead and set aside again in the same warm place until it doubles its bulk. Then knead and shape Into loaves; let rise again until double in balk and bake. * Overnight Sponge Method. 4 cupfuls (1 quart) of lukewarm liquid (half cupful less If potato is used). . 4 teaspoonfuls of salt. 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar. 2 tablespoonfuls of shortening (If desired). 1 cake of yeast (dry or compressed), er half cupful of liquid yeast. 1 cupful mashed potato (If desired)* I to 4 quarts of sifted flour. If dry yeast is used, soak It ftv SO minutes to one hour before mixing the sponge and mix the sponge earlier than if compressed or liquid yeast Is used. When liquid yeast Is-used, its volume must be deducted from the other liquid called for. Blend the yeast with a little of tha lukewarm liquid. If potato is used add to it the salt, then the yeast mixture, the remainder of the liquid, and finally one-half of the flour. Beat until smooth, cover, and set to rise where It will be at 00 to 70 degrees F. In the morning, break up the sponge, add sugar, the melted shortening (if used), and enough flour to make a dough of the proper consistency. Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic and no longer sticks to the bowl or fingers. Cover and set to rise until at least double in bulk. Knead down, mold Into loaves, let rise again nntli double in bulk and bake. FERMENTED CORN IS HANDY FOR CHOWDER Recipe Recommended by Household Specialists Given. It Will, Be Pound Most Satisfactory ta Remove All Acid Flavor--Rinse Thoroughly *"d Soak for Four er Five Hours. (prepared by the United States Depart* meat of Agriculture.) Some fermented and salted vegetables like cucumbers, are eaten raw; others, like cabbage (sauerkraut), are usually cooked. In general the fermented and salted products may be prepared for the table in much the same manner as the fresh vegetables, except that before being cooked they should be soaked in fresh water for several hours or longer, if necessary, to remove the salt, the water being changed several times. In some cases it may be necessary also to change the water once or twice during the boiling of the salted vegetables. In this one should be guided by taste. Te prepare the fermented er Salted corn for the table, rinse It thoroughly ami soak for four or five hours, changing the water frequently. In general it will be found more satisfactory to remove practically all the acid flavor f"-om the fermented corn. After soak- «g, place the corn In cold water and -lng to boil, pour off the water, add tresh cold water, bring to boll again, and cook until tender. The cooked salted or fermented corn may be used In many ways. The following recipe for corn chowder is recommended by household specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture: 4 Corn Chowder. % pound cold beef, or 1 cupful tomatoes.

E. F., wandering among the armor exhibits st the Metropolitan Museum of Art, found himself suddenly face to face with a "tin hat"--approved A. S. F. model-- ceremoniously installed in a glass case of Its own near the haystack-shaped •helmets of the early Tartar tribes and the halberds and billhooks of the European Middle ages. It made him feel historic and Important--for a short moment--until his eye took in the rest of the exhibit below the tin hat. There was a complete suit of armor made out of the same metal as the tin hat, and it comprised a neckpiece, a breas?tplate, a stomach shield and a pair of thigh guards, all overlapping, and a string of overlapping steel plates down each arm--all strapped to a dummy doughboy dressed In O. D. and wearing the tin hat. It was labeled "American Armor." "It's all wrong," said the veteran to %n attendant. "There wasn't anything like that over there." - "But," said the attendant, "the slgn here says at the bottom 'Experimental Armor,'" pointing to a small card Inside the case. "I suppose that means to say it wasn't used In practice." "Well, It doesn't say It clearly enough for me," said the veteran.

HELPS SOUTH SEA NATIVES School Founded by English Woman Has Been of Benefit in Inculcating Self Reliance. North of FIJI, in one of the islands of the Ellice group of the South seas, education of a practical nature has been going on, and a deserted coral Island has been the scene of a school for girls where not only the ordinary curriculum of European schools has been In force bat house-building, boating and other necessary arts of a Robingon Crusoe life. When the school was started there was not another living person on the Island of Papaelise, which is an enchanting Island, three-quarters of a mile long and about a hundred yards in widtlj, its shores surrounded by coral reefs and the bluest of blue seas. The school was started by an Englishwoman, Miss JoUffe, in 1912, and she has been the head in this island of learning in the South seas till the present time, when she felt It; was time to take a holiday. Devoted to her girls as they are to her, she tells of their self-reliance and capability. They built their own houses and dormitories with the help of a few native men, whose services were shortly dispensed with, and only one old man retained to help in the coco plantations. There are about 2,000 coconut trees on the Island and the girls look after them. Declared Nature Exempt, There Is another story told by fessor Roerlch which results In the hearer asking for assurance of its truth, which Is given. It seems that certain enthusiastic revolutionists in authority in Moscow decided that a highly decorative and significant effect could be produced by painting the grass and the trees about the government buildings in Moscow a bright red. Orders were given and the government painters set themselves industriously to work giving an appearance to the official vegetation which we commonly attribute to growth on the planet Mars. Whereupon the startled workingmen and soldiers of the city marched through the streets and made solemn protest against painting the trees and grass of the city red. Their wishes in the matter were respected and nature was relieved of the necessity of subscribing to the soviet code. *-»Gbttetlan Science Monitor. Insistent Hostess. Eight-year-old Ruth was having her first party. Before the guests came mother gave her a long talk on the duties of a hostess, and told her to be sure that every one was served with all the refreshments. And Rath promised. But among the guests was one little miss who was very shy. She didn't play any of the games, she didn't converse, and when the Ice cream was brought forward refused to take any. Then Ruth came over to her. "You must eat some." she insisted, offering her another dish of cream. The little visitor shook her head. "I don't want any," she persisted. "But you most eat it," Ruth insisted. "You must eat it even If you have to throw it up afterward." Use Care in Handling Powder. Opening a wooden keg of black blasting powder with a wooden tool might appear to be the safest of methods, yet the United States bureau of mines calls attention to a number of serious accidents resulting from the practice. The habit in many places has been to drive a hardwood spike through the head of the keg, and In several instances the ignition of the powder has directly followed. The cause remains unexplained, though any one of a number of actions may b« responsible. Because of the demonstrated danger, It is recommended that powder be extracted from its kegs only by way of the bunghole, even if more time Is required.--Popular Mechanics Magazine. Woof!
