w omen Good Mechanics.
According to a report of the na
tional industrial conference board,
women in wartime employment
showing a remarkable adapt
ability for machine shop work.
The report summarizes informa
turn obtained from lift establish
ments employing men and
49.823 women and including 10,657
women engaged in work formerly
performed exclusively by men.
Their labor, says the Christian
Herald, has ranged from the ope
ration of drill presses and lathes
to coremaking, inspecting and as
sembling mechanical products end
•.‘(■-.••forming many precise machine
operation. In the main it has
byn confined to the lighter pro
cesses requiring rapidity and dex
terity, and in such work their out
put has proved equal to and fre
quently greater than that of male
•employees. This was notably true
of women’s work in automobile
manufacture and in a munition
manufacturing luses, where wo
men operatives on drill presses
and milling machines were from
25 to 50 per cent more rapid than
men.
Good Roads.
To see what happens at the end
of tiie good road, a public road
specialist of the department of ag
riculture recently had observa
tions made in different sections of
country. Observers noted many
■country - bound teamsters who
drove two loaded wagons, hitched
one behind the other, to the end
of the good road, where they left
the wagon by the roadside to be
returned for later while all the
power of their teams was devoted
to hauling a single wagon over
the unimproved, highway.
Farmers bound for market fre
quently were seen to haul wood
and similar products to the begin
ning of the good road, there
dumping them and returning for
a second load. When this arriv
ed, the two loads were consolidat
ed and easily hauled by a single
team the remaining distance to
.market over the improved road.
First Quakers.
The first Quakers to land on
American soil were Mary Fisher
.and Ann Austin, who reached
Boston in 1(156 after a long voyage
from England by way of the West
Indian island of Barbados. The
two women caused great conster
nation to the Puritans, and George
Bishop, in an address to the mag
istrates, said:
“Two women arriving in your
’harbor so shock ye, to the ever
lasting shame of you and of your
•established order, as if a formida
ble army had invaded your bord
ers."
The Quaker sect, or Society of
Friends, was founded by Fox in
1648, about eight years before
the first members reached
America on July 11, 1656. Later
•George Fox visited America. The
part played by William Penn and
other Quakers in the early history
of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
as familiar to all students of his
tory.
How a Salesman Suffered.
R. J. Porter, Sterling, Colorado,
•writes: “For six months 1 suffer
ed with a painful weak back. As
a traveling salesman I had to stop
frequently to pick up my grips,
which 1 grew to dread as the pain
when 1 straightened up was awful.
Neinerous remedies failed to reach
tny case. 1 was induced to .try
Foley Kidney Pills. Relief was
immediate. Say, they are great!
Anyone afflicted as I was should
try a bottle or two of Foley Kid
ney Pills.” Good for pain in the
back, rheumatic pains, aching
joints, sore muscles. The McDon

In Memory.
The angel of death entered* the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chap
! pell last Saturday night and took
| from them their tiny infant son,
Clem.
We are again reminded of the
fact that death is abroad in the
land and that God giveth and God
taketh away.
Why God has taken little Clem
unto Himself we cannot say, but
there is no doubt that he is in
heaven. Pie was too good for
this world of sin and sorrow. Do
not grieve, dear loved ones, he is
happier with Jesus. He is wait
ing tor the time when he can wel
come vou there. His suffering
has ended, and as he lay in the
tiny coffin, white and still, his
spirit wended its way to heaven
where Jesus waited with open
arms, for He said, “Suffer little
children to come unto Me.”
Clem leaves a father, mother,
three sisters and one brother to
mourn his loss.
The funeral and interment was
held Sunday, «at the Hampton
Christian church, Rev. McMullin

Welcome for Twins.
Capt. Normrn Thwaites of the
British intelligence department
said the other day :
“The sugar shortage is felt
keenly over the water. It’s odd
how you miss your sugar over
there. You long for it as you’d
long for tobacco.
“A Bayswater special constable
hurried home from his beat at the
Marble Arch the other evening to
be present on a very interesting
occasion, and, as he sat in his li
brary in the small hours, the nurse
came to him and said :
“ ‘lt’s all right, sir.’
“The Bayswater man swallow
ed; he moistened his dry lips; then
he asked : ‘ls it a boy ?’
“The nurse smiled soothingly.
“ ‘Ope of ’em’s a boy, sir,’ she
said.
“And the Bayswater man, in
stead of turning pale or somther
ing an c ath, as he’d probably done
in peace time, uttered a glad cry
of joy.
“ ‘Thank heaven !’ he exclaimed,
‘that gives us two extra sugar ra
tions.’ ”•
Easily Arranged.
One beautiful summer night,
when the crickets were chirping
in the grass and the caterpillars
were dropping from the trees,
John Henry turned to the charm
ing girl who was sitting on the
veranda at his side.*
“Edith,” said he timorously,
“there comes to me a thought, I
might say a fear.”
“Well, what is it?” queried the
fair girl, as the other hesitated.
“I suppose,” responded John
Henry, suggestively, hopefully,
“that were I to steal a kiss you
would have me arrested ?”
“Perhaps,” was the ready re
joinder of the girl, “but you could
find somebody to pay your fine,
couldn’t you. ?”

Patriotic Example.
The manufacturers of a bottle
soft drink, the Chero-Cola Com
pany, deserve commendation for a
patriotic example. There is little
use just now to advertise their
drink, for the restrictions in the
use of sugar limit production to
an amount less than the demand,
but these manufacturers realize
the necessity for keeping their
product in the public eye and they
are as much news
paper space as before (they have
for several years been very liberal
advertisers) and give their space
to patriotic purposes. They boost
ed the Fourth Liberty Loan and
now are advertising United War
Work. After the war is over,
these people and their product
will not be forgotten.—Tilton Ga

Bird Songs.
It was the morning of June 50.
I stood at the gate of the farm
house where three roads met, and
the air was full of bird songs.
■For-a long time I stood there and
tried to note how many different
songs 1 could hear. Nea/ by were
the alto joy- notes of the Baltimore
oriole. Up from the meadow
where the trout flowed came the
bubbling, gurgling nnfps of the
bobolink. Robins, wood thrushes,
song sparrows, chipping sp trr.o-.vs,
bluebirds, vireos, gold finches,
chebees, indigo birds, flickers,
phoebes, red-winged black birds,
scarlet tanagers, catoirds, house
wrens —altogether, without mov
ing from my place, I counted 33
different bird songs and bird
notes —Samuel Scoville, Jr., in

hours and it surely did help him. He hasn’t
bjfu sick a day since.’*

Five Bottles of Cardui

Kathleen, Fla. —Mrs. Dallas Prine,
of this place, says: “After the birth
of my last child...l got very much
run-down and weakened, bo much
that I could hardly do anything at
aIL I was so awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and In a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
—-——about my taking Cardui. Ho
said, 'lt’s a good medicine, and good
for that trouble’, so he got me 5 bot
tles... After about the second bottle I
felt greatly improved.. .before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this pcor circulation disap
peared. My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road to
health. After the nse of about 5 bot
tles, I could do all my house-work
and attend to my six children be
