Miss Dove is again an American girl in “The Man and the Moment." which is from the pen of the famous Elinor Glyn. This is the story of an orphan girl who marries a man to escape the limi- tations put upon her activities 'by her guardian.

It must be that times are changing. It is not so many years ago that the average small town had a bake shop or two that had to depend on the con- fectionery end of the business to keep it afloat, there seemed to be no call for their wares in very large quantities. Nearly every house had a baking day that came with the same regularity as washing on Monday and ironing on Tuesday. Today bread wagons run away out into the country, and they sell all man- ner of cookery from these rigs. That $3.3m; to be'like attacking the last stronghold of the baking pan. the flour sitter. the hot oven and even the roll- ing pin. “ ' 3L ‘Aâ€"zngnnn A“ Wh-ywthe change?

Noâ€"people are not. lazy, and ARE CHANGING many of them have _not fqrgottexl how to do things for themselves. Here‘s one explanation that sounds reason- able: “There are just three of us. and it doesn‘t pay to do much baking. I have figured it out carefully. counting in the time it takes and the amount of heat that has to be used. In a bake shop we can get just the amount we want so it won‘t go stale. and it leaves just that much more time for doing other things." So perhaps the change is all for the better. even if it does appear that the foundation of the whole domestic fabric is being shaken by the laying away of the implements that used to play so ENGLISHMAN SAYS FATHER INVENTED ELECTRIC LIGHT “Edison did not invent the incandes- cent lamp." This is the emphatic reply of Kenneth Swan to the claims on behalf of Edison in America according to a news despatch from London. England. “I am not moved so much by a sense of filial duty as by the desire to see an Englishman acknowledged by his own people. My father invented the incandescent electric lamp 10 months before Mr. Edison's appeared. .There is no dispute about that among English electrical engineers. The In- stitution of Electrical Engineers were! invited to share in the jubilee celebra- tions in America and they declined be- cause they celebrated the jubilee of my father’s invention last year. Sir Joseph Wilson Swan first exhibited a success- ful carbon filament lamp in Newcastle- on-Tyne on December 18. 1878. The date claimed for Edison's invention is October 21. 1879. “A company was formed to acquire .my father's process and there were 'threats of litigation between that com- pany and Edison’s. Instead of fighting they amalgamated. Swan’s process was adopted and Edison‘s dropped. Swan‘s process was also adopted in America. Ten years later my iather invented what was called the ‘squirted' filament which superseded the former type, both in England and in America. Yet in a book. Edi$on is credited with having in- vented the squirted fllament.’ vav'iiiart in the average household FROM NORTHERN SHOWS 1‘0 SOUTHERN SUNSIIINI Zero weather has its appeal to the winter sports enthusiast. but the majority of us like the fine warm days with bright skies and sunshine.
