Now don't go throw- ing yourself away on any girl that's not good enough for you. If you'd told me you'd fallen in love with this Maynard woman I'd kept my mouth shut. But you said you hadn't, an' 1 believe you. You said it wasn't any of my business, Rand. You're right, but let me tip you off to a few things. "In the first place, this girl's gotten under your skin, You're sorry for her, an' they say--don't they?--that pity's akin to love, or something like that. You don't believe she's mixed up in any way in your father's mur- der. Maybe you're right; she tells a pretty straight story. But I always say like the French do in a case like this: 'Cherchie la femmie,' which is their way of saying look for the wo- man." "I'm afraid that's Dublin French? laughed Jimmy. "Cherchez la femme, Lieutenant." "I can't say them forgign words." 0'Day dismissed the correction with a wave of his hand. "Now, Rand, this girl is commencing to fall in love with you, or I'm still a harness bull." "No, no, you're mistaken. She's try- ing to help me, that's all." "I know what I'm talking about. You steer clear of her, Rand. She's been travelin' around in bad company, as no respectable woman should do. She's been mixed up in a divorce case as co-respondent, an' some kid who tried to kill himself not so very long ago is thought to have lost his head over her. You go slow, Rand.

Enclose ef Relief is almost used as frequently as there is a Five Si Fifty-seven men, women, and chil- dren were lost in the natfonal forests. of Oregon and Washingto: during the past summer, according to re- ports veceived by the regional fores- ter in Portland, Oregon. We read in a press bulletin issued by ¢ Forest Service (Washington): 7 Rangers know thé country pretty well, and when an emergency arises, are the first to volunteer, and often- times put in many wearisome hours. combing the mountainsides and can- yons for lost persons. They do this. willingly and cheerfully but -they wish, and it is a very earnest wish, that people who go into the forests would try to acquire some of the: woodsman's powers of close observa- tion, calmness, and common sense, or at least stay with somebody who knows the country or is a good en- ough woodsman to act as a guide. Among these fifty-seven lost per- sons were children, men, and women, including an old lady, a policeman, and a good many hunters, the reports show. ' The Malhour forest in eastern Oregon reports ten lost persons, the largest number; the Olympic forest « in Washington reports nine, while the Whitman, in the Blue Mountains, reports seven. The Fremont had six lost, mostly hunters, while the Mount Hood reports five. Fourteen out of the twenty-two national forests re- ported lost persons during 193t. The forest rangers suggest the fol- lowing simple and commonsense things to remember when lost in the woods or mountains: 1. Stop. Sit down and try.to fig- ure out where you ire. Use your head and not your legs. 2. If caught by night, fog or storm, stop at once and make camp in a sheltered place. Build a fire in a safe spot. Gather plenty of dry fuel as soon as possible after selecting a stopping-place. 3. Don't .wander about. Travel only down-hill. 4, If you are injured, chooss a clear spot on a promontory, if pos- sible, and build a signal smoke. 5. Don't yell; don't run; don't worry, and, above all, don't quit. to the high mountains will come re- ports of persons becoming lost, with the liability of suffering and death, Forest officers therefore emphasize the fact that pecple inexperienced with snow and low temperatures at high elevations should keep out of such localities unless accompanied by some one experienced in such con- ditions. tf Brush Notes. We use brushes of all kinds. so much for our own toilet and well- grooming--we have nail brushes, hair brushes, eyelash and eyehrow brushes, clothes brushes hat brushes, and shoe brushes--that it is astonish- ing that we do not treat our homes to a special set of brushes, too. There is much good work that a brush may do. With a brush you may accomplish satisfactorily much that a duster jibs at. Naturally the brush must vary according to the tasks it is required to perform. A fairly stiff clothes brush kept specially for your upholstered chairs and settees will keep these remori- ably free from dust. Cretonne covers will last clean very much long if they are given a good brushing every time the room is turned out. Carved furniture of any kind re- quires the services of a medium-sized soft-haired brush, such as ig used iar cleaning typewriters. This w Xk its way into all corners and kecp the carving free from dust. Any hangings or curtains, whizh by reason of their texture or heavinocis cannot be washed or cleaned very frequently, will ha kept in beter order and need cleaning le:s ofizn if they are well brushad at fr:gieat intervals. A smaller, soft-haired brush wii ba invaluable for your small piece: of china, while a nail brush is necessary when you come to or of intricate dezign requires the at- tention of more than a duster, which often proves quite inadequate to ¢upe with the dust that accumulate ia tiny crevices. The only way of deal ing with these, if you have no brush, is to twist a corner of your dusiter and poke out the dust gently, but this is not so good as using a brush. Feather brushes with long or short handles are admirab'e for .curzsry dusting and out-of-reach pla-as, but these are old friends; it i3 the new members of the brush brigade that need to be given a niche in most households. --y Metalized Wood A metalized wood is now available for commercial use.
