I heard an amusing story the other fey concerning Sir John Lavery, the famous society artist. It seems that one day he was engaged In painting the portrait of a beautiful but very shy little girl, when he chanced to find a threepenny bit in his color box.

BY DOCTOR CBIPPS It has always seemed to me that Dr. fierce of Buffalo, N. Y., should be placed near the top when a list of America's great benefactors is written. He studied end conquered human diseases to a degree that few realize. Whenever he found a iwmedy that overcame disease, he at once announced it in the newspapers and told where it could be bought at a small price. Be did not follow the usual custom of jtteping the ingredients secret, so that the w^|sh only could afford to buy. f Savanna, 111.--"I found the neatest satisfaction in taking Dr..

REMEDY IS POINTED OUT Manufacturers 8hould Register Their Trademarks With the Govei 9ne Concern Paid $30,000 . Recover Trademark. Buenos Aires.--Dispatehes from the United States stating that the American Manufacturers' Export association had launched a fight against "trademark" pirates in various foreign countries, Including Argentina, were read with interest by the American business colony here, which Is aware of frequent instances of this sort of business meanness. Americans are far from holding Argentina alone guilty of the practice, for the stealing of trademarks has been done here even by Americans flrom their own countrymen, It is said, as well as by Europeans from Americans. Remedy Pointed Out The remedy against It, business sssn say, is for the American manufacturer to register his trademark with the government without delay,' otherwise when he attempts to enter this market he may find that some unknown Individual or competitor In the same line of goods has anticipated him. It is not necessary in Argentina for the person who registers a trademark to be the actual manufacturer of the goodp. That is, anybody can register a trademark, first come, first served. Once registered, the mark can, of course, be used by no one else, and if It has been pirated, the rightful owner either has to sell his products under a new trademark or buy off the pirate. It Is known in the office of the United States commercial attache that $30,000 was paid by one American concern to recover its trademark from a pirate. There are reported to be certain tiv dlvlduals who almost make a business of appropriating trademarks of foreign concerns in order to extort a price for surrendering them to the owner. They watch particularly for advertising in newspapers and magazines of foreign concerns whose products they judge are likely to find a market In Argentina; If they find a likely trademark not registered, they see that it is done In their own names and then wait. They also watch for the expiration trademarks--the period Is ten years. There are known to be Instances In which concerns have thus left their trademarks to a pirate as the result of neglecting to have them renewed. Argentina has yet failed to ratify the pan-American trademark convention, under which a central agency for the ten southern republics of America would be established in Rio Janeiro for the registration of trademarks. A trademark registered there will be good In all other South American countries signatory to the convention and will save time, expense and trouble. The Argentine adminis tratlon is known to be anxious to hav? the treaty ratified, but congress hn~ failed to act. It Is reported that Pros ident Irlgoyen Is preparing a spec!;;! message to congress urging that tb< r> be no further delay In the matter. Erin Sends Lions to Africa.

Washington.--A report received here through official channels from Berlin outlines by comparative tnbles of prices of essential commodities in 1914 and 19E0 the advance In the cost of living In Germany since the outbreak of the European war. According to the figures, the cost of living for an unmarried clerk living away from home has risen from 177 marks a mouth In 1914 to 600 marks this year. USING CALIFORNIA'S WATER POWER Within a few years CulL£ornla will be freed from the danger of fuel shortage, for the state's water power Is being developed rapidly, many dams being built along Its waterways. This Is the just completed Kerckoff dam near Fresno, 120 feet high and 400 feet long at the top. Thtf water will operate turbines for the generation of electricity. ' e sctnnl co^t of the essenttnl articles of Uxm for a family of four at present Is estimated at 650 marks a month. Clothing, the report says, is Impossible to purchase at present prices. A suit which In 1914 cost 80 marks d now reported to sell for 1,000 marks, a price Increase of 1,150 per cent. The cost of shoes has Increased over 1.000 per cent. Shoes which In 1914 sold at 15 marks a pair are now bringing 175 marks. Men's shirts which could formerly be bought for 7% marks each are now being sold for 95 marks, a rise of 1.106 per cent. Similar price increases prevail for all essential.commodities, the Increases ranging from 225 per cent for electric current to 1,556 per cent for soap, a piece of soap which before the war cost 30 pfennigs now Belling for 5 marks. The Increase In the cost of food essentials. according to the figures given In the report. Is even m'ore startling The cost of eggs has risen 4,066 per cent, one egg now costing 2% marks Lard comes next, with a percentage Increase of 3.738. Rice, cereals, butter and bacon have Increased In price more than 2,000 per cent. 8ugar Increases Least. The article of food which has increased least In price since 1914 Is suear. which has gone up the comparatively small amount of 316 per cent, "efore the war sugar sold In Germany >r 25 pfennigs a pound. It now rings, the report says, 1.04 marks. vHlk also has retained a low cost In comparison with the tremendous Increases prevailing In most commodities. Its cost has risen 320 per cent According to the report, the average rponthly earnings of the German middle classes are only from 300 to 600 marks. Taking the needs as outlined for existence, the report says, examination of the tables gives some conception of the present hopeless struggle of the middle classes for existence on the meager return of their work. About a third of the entire population of the world speak the Chinese language or Its allied dialects.

New York.--Two giant flying boats for the first flight across the Pacific ocehn are being planned, according to the Manufacturers' Aircraft association. These planes will be nearly twice the size of the NC-4, which made the first trans-Atlantic flight. The proposed route lies from Ban Francisco to Hongkong, China, a distance of 7,616 nautical miles, or about 8.777 land miles. Stops will be made at Honolulu, Wake Island, Guam and Manila. The flight has been made possible, the association says, by on Invention of Ed son Gallaudet of East Greenwich, It. L, whereby three Liberty engines are coupled to one 18-foot propeller. The new boats will have three separate power plants, each containing three high compression Liberty englnes, or nine motors to each ship. The boats will he trlplanes with a wing spread of 140 feet, as compared with a spread of 126H feet of the NC boats. Each boat will have a wing area of about 6,000 feet and carry a crew of 16 men. The hulls will be 67 feet long, 22 feet longer than tHat of the NC-4. The cruising radius Is estimated at 2.100 nautical miles, nearly twice that of the NC craft Three high compression motors will drive each of the three propellers. Each unit of three motors will be Installed In a separate nacelle, thus making possible repairs while In flight. Bach propeller will be driven by two motors with one In reserve. Enough gasoline can be carried to permit a cruising radius of 2,500 land miles without stopping. Lady Geddes an American Wife of New British United 8tates Was Born Dobbs Ferry.

Gorky, Russian Radical, Finds Soviets a Failure Bitter disappointment with bofchevlsm Is expressed In an article recently published by Maxim Gorky, the Russian radical, according to a dispatch from Stockholm, Sweden. "The revolution has not been followed by spiritual revival," the article Is said to declare, "and has proved itself unable to make men more honest. Men in power now are just as brutal as those In authority under the Imperial regime and send as many to prison. Bolshevist leaders, driven by ambition, are performing experiments upon living people, especially the working classes."

LAUGHS AT GREENLAND COLD In His Primitive Abode, Eskimo Dwells In ComYort Through the Monotonous Arctic Winter. Eskimo of Greenland, no matter what his station In life may be, always has both a summer and winter home. The winter house is described by Roger Pocock in the Wide World Magazine as being a dugout with an upper structure built of turf and beams of driftwood. It has but one window, as winter In Greenland occurs during the four-month-long arctic night. Entrance to the one large room of which the house consists Is gained through a long tunnel about five feet in height, in which the dogs live. In the rear of the living room Is a raised dais on which the entire family sleep, and In the front part stands the stove. This stove consists of a hollow stone filled with seal oil In which burns a rag wick, which lights and beats the house and cooks the meals. A Kindly Caddie.
