It was so different from the reg- ular sewing party. "Virginia told us It was to be an old maids' reunion, and we were to come dressed the way 'old maids' are supposed to have dressed. Of course there aren't any old maids now --only bachelor girls. Anyway, there were twelve of us at the party, and you mever saw such funny costumes! Some of them were very prim, and some were frilly and silly. They'd all ransacked the attics before they came, nd they surely found some odd things, all right. 7% "After we all got there we sat around in a circle and every one told why she never got married. ere Was a prize for the best story."

Of course such perfect la- dies couldn't play any active games or anything like that.

Rob: "I don't know." Bob: "Woolworth's. Nothing over ten cents." Is it proper for a chimney to weas its last-year's soot? Jack thought a minute about the club, and his face brightened. "Why, mother, I think I could do it yet to- night, I'm going to try!" Jack hurried over to Mrs. Young's and was soon started on his work. He finished just before sundown, Mrs. Young gave him a dollar for hurry- ing, and said he could have the Job for good if he wanted it. So that was how Jack earned the money to start his club going, and after that there was never a week that he didn't earn a dollar or more by mowing lawns, and, as he told Hi, he never did know it was so much fun to earn his own money. realize that business is terribly poor Just now, and I don't think it would By RALPH BROWN RADIO ENGINEER, CUTTING AND WASHINGTON RADIO CoRR be fair of you to ask your father for A NOVEL BATTERY TESTER. more money now, do you?

A syringe is used to draw a sample of tLe battery solution in the usual man- ner. But, instead of having a paper scale to read, the user has merely to note how many little colored balls will float. There are three of these balls inside of the glass syringe--a white, green and a red-one. If the white one sinks when the syringe contains solu- tion the battery fs not fully charged, but is all right to use. If the green ball sinks it is a signal that the battery will need charg- ing very soon, but if the red ball sinks the battery will have to be recharged at once. If all the balls float the battery is fully charged. Here is an easy way to remember the indications, the one which the manufacturers originated. "Floats Times Do Change 9 ° And Isn't It a Good Thing? ~~ Compare a newspaper of to-day with one of ten, twenty, fifty (as many as you like) years ago. Isn't the change good?

There are thousands and thousands of opportunities offered the readers through the newspapers --be- cause the newspaper is the logical medium. The classified ad- vertisement column of the average to-day newspaper takes more space than the whole newspaper of a few years ago. That is because the great need is to reach the greatest number of peo- ple, and the success of this newspaper as a medium for reaching the greatest number of people is established. It is as near and convenient as your telephone. Remember that. rood: begging for the healing of sleep at night, During the second week Olaf's powerful legs were flabby.

"Won't you need a nurse?" de- maned Carol, "Why--" To Miles, Kennicott hinted, "Couldn't you get Bea's cousin, Tina?" "She's down at the oid folks', in the country." "Then let me do it!" Carol insist- ed. '"They need some ome to cook for them, and isn't it good to give them sponge baths, in typhoid?" "Yes, All right." Kennicott was automatic; he was the official, the physician. "I guess probably it would be hard to get a nurse here in town just now. Mrs. Stiver is busy with an obstetrical case, and that town nurse of yours is off on vacation, aint she? All right, Bjornstam can spell you at night." All week, from elght each morning till midnight, Carol fed them, bathed them, smoothed sheets, took temper- atures. Miles refused to let her cook. Terrified, pallid, noiseless in stocking feet, he did the kitchem work and the sweeping, his big ted hands awkwardly careful. Kengflcott came in three times a day, unchang- ingly tender and hopeful in the sick- room, evenly polite to Miles. Carol understood how great was her love for her friends. It bore her through; it made her arm steady and tireless to bathe them. What ex- hausted her was the sight of Bea and Olaf turned into flaccid invalids, un- comfortably flushed after taking When "No" Is Good Sometimes Isn't It Better At All Times? she had begun to collapse.

They were carrying es, and women's-magazines, azines with high-colored pictures and optimistic fiction, "We just heard your wife was sick. We've come to see if there isn't something we can do," chirrup- ed Vida. Miles looked steadily at the three women. "You're too late. You can't do nothing now. Bea's always kind of hoped that you folks would come see her. She wanted to have a chance and be friends, She used to sit waiting for somebody to knock. I've seen her sitting here, waiting. N3w-- Oh, you ait worth God- damning." He shut the door. All day Carol watched Olat's strength oozing. He was emaciated. His ribs were grim clear lines, his skin was clammy, his pulse wag feeble but terrifying rapid. It beat --beat--beat in a drum-roll of death, Late thet afternoon he sobbed, and died, Bea did not know it, She was de- lirlous. Next moming, when she went, she did not know that Olaf would no longer swing his lath sword on the door-step, no longer rule his subjects of the cattle-yard; that Miles's son would not go East to col- Miles, Carol, Kennicott were sil- ent.

When the hydrometer is allowed with the editor by mail? dear?" he besought, "Mummy, I want to go play with Olat." That afternoon Juanita Haydock dropped in to brighten Carol. She sald, "Too bad about this Bea that was your hired girl, But I don't waste sympathy on that man of hers, | Everybody eays he drank too much, and treated his family awful, and that's how they got sick."
