There are four hundred d1fferent_kinds of them. but only the good old warrior Helmet Crest has any war record. Clever indlan Woman A me r- War Prices Have Developed French Industrles It is quite true that all the warring countries are paying topnotch prices for everything they buy from neutrals. just as it is likewise true that they bitterly resent this fact. Their resent- ment mighthave a touch more of rea- son if their own merchants did not do their best to squeeze the last ounCe of profit out of each contract. France has recognized these things quite clearly and has guarded herself as well as she can. In the first days of the war she bought a lot of American leather. It was not satisfactory. It was most decidedly not satisfactory. To-day she is only buying American leather when she can buy leather no- where else. So the army started a tanning de- partment. Soldiers oversee it and work in it. The hide of every animal killed in France goes to it They come back from the slaughterhnuses just back of the firing line, which are worthy of a story in themselves, and from the great military depots. The leather for army boots costs less. for the aggressions of private 8 terprise are guarded against, and it s of the highest quality. Something similar was done in the dye-stuff situation. French cloth faded just as white as the English and American cloth did, because the German dyes were miss- lng. 7‘We will make dyes here,” said France. “We must." Factories were erected and chemists went to work. The product has not been overly satisfactory as yet, but it ‘IS improving in quality all the time. The French chemists are gradually getling the hang of the coal tar puz- ‘1 tie. And this is not a merely tem- pore. ry expedient to meet an emer- get 3'.

FRENCH ARE PRACTICAL From time to time, almost from the very earliest days of the war, there 1:33 arisen in. many European coun- tries a shortage of paper. Many fac- tories. often '.l!1100ked for, have contri- buted to bring about this result, a scarcity of labor, the increased cost of shipping freights, and deficiency in the supply of the many and various ingre- dients which go to the making of paper in all its many forms of to-day. introduced into Europe About the Tawlfth Century The manufacture of paper was first introduced into Europe by the Moors, also about the twelfth century. They held a great part of Spain in those days, and the industry quickly grew. It was good paper, “cloth parchment” it 18 styled in the laws of Alfonso of 1263, and well styled. for it was stout of substance, and could withstand hard use. At Xativa, Valence and Toledo the industry grew and flourish- ed untll the fall of the .loorish power, And then came a change.

From Italy it extended to France and Germany. And then the art reached England, and. in Wynkyn de Worde’s “ 2 Pro- prietatibus Rerum,” printed in 1495, at Canon’s Press. we find mention of a paper mill at Stevenage, in Hert- tordshlre, kept by one John Tate. Master Spielman, with his ten years' license from Queen Elizabeth to make paper at Dartford, in Kent, is the next great figure in the paper trade, and so on to the establishment of the famous mills at Maidstone, where John What- man turned out his paper in and around the year 1760. In 1799 came machinery, and from the small mm at Boxmoor, in Hertfordshire, where Foundinier, the inventor, first set up his plant, the industry spread all over the country. Often you come across people who complain that they have but few lends. The matter is easy enough explain, for, as some one has well Said, “The only way to have a friend is to be one." For friendship cannot possibly be a one-sided matter. Just as it takes two to make a bargain or .3 quarrel, so does it take the same Ihumher to make a friendship. What really dbes happen is this: Two people meet, and gradually they find points of congeniality, gradually each does little favors for the other, gradually a feeling of affection takes root in each heart. Neither one is thinking of what can be gained from the acquaintance ; rather, each is thinking and planning to give innmd of take. In other words, both are trying to be a friend unselfishly. And. 10. it is the very thing which make. their friendship. Every Day a Sabbath Every day in the week is a Sabbath for some one. The Greeks observe {Kantian the Persians, Tuesday; the Assyrians.
