She ma - be yp y y be short -haired, because a majority of wo- men are that today, but she is far from being, in generality, the strong -jawed, hard -visaged, mascu- line appearing figure which the cartoonists repre- sent her to be. She is as numerous and as interest- ing in her variety as woman has ever been. Get acquainted with Judith, the charming little boss of Blue Lake Ranch. You will 'meet a new woman, a really brand-new sort, one -in this res- l 4 pect not unusual—who would rather be a woman Ithan a man, but, called upon to do a man's part, does it thoroughly. Circumstances called her into_ a unique line of endeavor. She carried it through in a man's way, the only way it could be done, but she made it more effective by some fascinatingly feminine touches. 1 { 1 Read This Vivid Story of Love and Adventure in The Advance -Times COMMENCING THIS WEEK "a.%'�w✓�irr""'"1�1rr11"MA"�wa""�`e�'"�" `V'�Irr Carl—"May I hold your hand?"

An industry of great irnportaiice flourishes where thousands of tons of. hones from abattoirs and butchers' shops are deposited daily. From them valuable products, such as glycerine, lubrican,s of many lxlads, fertilizers, and handles for brushes, tools, and cutlery, are obtained. The bones are sorted into separate heaps, according to size and shape., Only the shin and marrow bones are used for handles, and the knuckles at each end are cut off by huge power saws. The marrow-fat is thee extracted, and f ..:n this come gly- cerine and lubricants of the best quality. Rib -bones and others of a shape that cannot be utilized for handles are thrown into enormous steam- heated .vats, where they are boiled continuously for many hours. When all the fat has been extracted the bones ,are put into powerful crushing machines, which reduce them to a powder that is sold to farmers as bone -manure. Nothing is wasted, and, as the pro- ducts come from material generally regarded as valueless, the industry is prosperous. In spite of the necessarily unpleas- ant atmosphere, hundreds of mem are employed in various departments of the great boneyardsa Moreover, those who work there have the best of health, for the overpowering odor from tons of decomposed bones con- tains properties which prevent and cure diseases of the chest and lungs. Many people suffering from asth- ma have been completely cured through working continually in the greasy, steamy atmosphere which hangs, like white billowing clouds, about the boiling sheds. AN INSE(71' FAIR. Offering and Disposing of Butterflies, Moths, Beetles, Flies, Etc. Ono of the strangest fairs in the world is held at the German town of Frankfurt every year. Nottingham has its goose fair, and in other cities there are mop fairs and fur fairs. But Frankfurt goes one better than any of these by holding an insect fair. Collectors come from all parts of the world to meet sellers of rare but- terflies and moths. Some of these arcs worth amazing sums. There are men, too, offering and disposing of beetles, flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and so OA. Moat of the evaders bring their stock with them and display the beauties of their specimens to inquir- ers. There are many, however, who do business in quite a different way. They have no stock with them; they sell insects, so to *speak, on the hoof, just as American cattlemen will sell beasts that are a thousand miles away on the ranges. These sellers of queer insects specialize in knowing just where the rarest kinds are to be found. Along comes a eoliector who asks if a particular specimen can be obtained for him. Though the one whichwill eventually grace bis cab- inets is not yet born, the order is booked and in due course the speci- men is delivered. TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE. Those Who Think Before They Act and Those Who Act Impetuously. People may be divided into two types—those who think a great deal before they act and those who are carried away by their feelings and act impetuously without thinking. Both tendencies have their value at certain 'times. Grave problems require deliber- ation before any line of conduct is decided upon, but in emergencies something must be done at once. The first type is, therefore, handicapped when rapid action is called for, and the second type is apt to be rash and to act hastily on occasions when the situation needs reflection. People should endeavor, then, to train their thoughts and feelings so that they can be utilized to the best advantage according to the circum- stances of the moment. Mauy a pit- fall can thereby be avoided. Construction of Piano. Most of the detail of a piano's con- struction is unseen by and rarely thought of by the average person, who would probably be astonished, •if he read a book on piano -making, at the number of the different mechan- ical ingenuities which exist within the instrument. They all act inter- dependently, and with marvellous ac- curacy, with a view to the best pos- sible result of tone -quality. Between the key as it is struck by the pianist's finger and. the striking of the piano-. strings by the hammer, is a vast ar- ray of detail. Will Not Be Rebuilt. Some thirty of the French villages which were destroyed during the war, including such historic spots at Ta- bula), Oraonne, Douaumont, and Fleury, will never be rebuilt. Instead, monuments are to be placed 'where they stood bearing the inscription: "Here was -- Destroyed in —." Mountains Under the, Ocean. Three ranges of mountains rise from the bottom of the Atlantic be- tween South Africa and South Amer- ica. Some of these mountains are 13,- 000 feet in height, or only 2,000 feet less than Mt. Blanc. Chain ,Stores. There aro .now about 8,200 chain store companies in the United States, comprising more than 200,000 units, grocery stores being in the lead. V. S. Railroads.

The only ploughup to this time that had shown any great improve - 'went over the clumsy wooden im- plements that had rudely served Brit- ish farmers and, indeed, farmers of all countries from time immemorial was that known as, the Rotherham, a.produet of Dutch invention. This plough patented in 1730 was con- structed mainly of wood but had draught iron, share, and coulter made of iron and an additional plate on the mould -board. Closely following on Small's plough came the Scottish plough with beam,and handles of iron, The Wilkies and Finlaysons, Soots too, are also familiar names in the his- tory of the plough. A celebrated English plough was Brand's, Robert Ransome of Ipswich substituted cast- iron shares for wrought iron, and later case-hardened shares. Movable parts followed. All these improve- ments came between 1730 and 1800 or thereabouts. The iron plough did not come into anything like general ,use in North America until the year 1825. The colonial plough was of wood with iron sheathings or protective strips. When. Charles Newbold, of New Jer- sey patented an iron plough in 1807, the farmers of that time ridiculed the idea; some declared that the iron poisoned the. soil. Others that it made weeds dourish, Newbold's ef- torts to introduce this plough failed. John Lane in America made the first steel mould -board in 1833. John Deere and James Oliver improved the texture of the steel, eliminating the small holes in the metal left is the' coasting, and toughened the plough by a method of annealing. John Lane, the son, brought in the soft' iron core. THE CIVIL ENGINE14R. Art of Directing Great Sources of Power in Nature for Use et Man. The profession of the civil ensi- ueer was defined in 1828, at the time of the formation: of the Institution of Civil Engineers in London as "the art of •directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and con- venience of man." The term was in - 'vented by Jahn Smeaton (1724-92), one of the most celebrated of the gifted group of men, who, during the eighteenth century, took such an im- portant part in the development of public works in England, to empha- size the difference between his work and that of the military engineer, which was of the same character. The civil engineer is primarily in- terested in structures. Foundations, bridges, tunnels, dams, reservoirs, aqueducts, are in his realm. He irri- gates deserts and reclaims swamps. He lays out and constructs highways, railroads, cabals, and makes harbors, wharves and lighthouses. His work is often definitely of a pioneering na- ture, involving great, physical effort. A civil engineer must have a scienti- fic mind, possessing also imagination, initiative, accuracy and good judg- ment. He should also have adminis- trative ability and be able to work with men as well as materials. Hints For Homebodies Virritteu for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown Meat Eating The question of how much meat to eat, if any; always interests a great many people. it is an established fact, that the body needs animal pro- tein. It is not necessary to supply this with meat, as it may be obtained from mills, eggs and cheese. Pro- tein is in some vegetable foods, as itt cereals, but it is more 'difficult to ut- ilize, Certainly animal proteins are most palatable. Meat Eating Nations Have. you ever stopped to think, that the meat eating nations are the ones which hold dominant positions in the world? There seems to be a direct relationship between the food habits of the country, and the growth both mental and physical, of its peo- ple. Many people go to extremes in meat. eating, and eat it two and three tines a day. This is a .hang -over from the early clays, when we lived more vigorous Fives.

Owing to the intense cold in Lap- land thousands of reindeerwere'driv- en south in search of food, as the moss upon which they feed has been frozen over to such a depth that the poor animals have been unable to break through the ice and get at it, The Laplanders, to whom reindeer mean so much, are in despair, and though they have done their utmost they cannot prevent the hungry ani - teals from wandering south for food, or from crossing the boundaries of their reservations and threatening damage to the farmers' stocks of hay, • etc.. Reindeer have been met with of late where they have not been seen for the past twenty -flue years. • Sacred Bunny Cats. The smallest cat show ever held in London took place recently, when twenty Abyssinian cats contended for the championship of thein own exclu- sive world. Many experts say that they believe this breed to be descend- ed from the sacred cat of ancient Egypt, which the Egyptians used to embalm. An elegantly -built animal with large tufted ears, lustrous eyes and slender limas, the Abyssinian cat has a silky coat not unlike a wild rabbit, hence the popular name, bun- ny cat. Jardin des Plantes. The Jardin des Plantes (Botanni- cal Garden) in Paris was established in ° 1685, during the reign of Louis XIII.,'' the zoo being added about a century dater when the famous nat- ttralist, Buffon, became director. BrasS Bands. The brass band movement, which has greatly influenced the musical tastes and talents of the working Claes of England, originated more than 100 years ago, and there are now more than 5,000 brass bands in the villages and larger towns.
