Lydia Wan-on followed her young I
piece automatically down the* vnlloy j
of palms and ^1Jt, called in common ;
parlance “Peacock alloy." With burn- l
lng cheeks she passed the gUlimt of j
critical eyes that looked askance at 1
her ankle-length skirt and broad-toed !
shoes.
The head waiter, like an execution- j
er, led them to a laee-trlmmed, candle- ■
bedecked table and obsequiously as- j
Hlsted Lydia out of her unfashionable j
Jacket.
She was tired after her

Marjorie’s invitation to a little snack
before catching the afternoon train
home. Unfortunately, as they picked
up their menus they were joined by
three young girls, friends of Mar
jorie's, and Lydia was left to her own
devices.
“What would you like, nuntle?”
said Marjorie, smiling, suddenly re
membering her duty as hostess.
When the order was placed before
I her Lydia at once passed with a
j shudder the “caviare,” which seemed
; to be an arrangement of tiny, inky
eggs on a sliver of toast, and helped
herself to a hit of the under-done beef
and a spoonful of gravy surmounted
by a twig of parsley. She was thank
ful the chattering girls did not notice
her ravenous onslaught of the bread
and butter, along \ylth Iced water.
And It. was with h feeling of deep re
lief that, finding It later than they
thought, she and Marjorie hurried
•way to the train.
How Toasts Originated.
When Jolm Smith gets up at a
banquet and. lifting a glas3 of legi
timate or Illegitimate liquor, calls out:
"The ladies, (Sod hies- *em!” or, “Rob
ert P.rown. our honored guest 7" or
whatever else conies to his mind, he
doesn't realize that in thus proposing
a roast he is only going through the
relic of an ancient ceremony.
Originally, when the undent Greeks
or Homans were at a feast (tin? cus
tom was to how before the statije of
Bacchus, the g.»il of wine, exclaiming.
'Be propitious, (I Bacchus!” and
pouring a little wine mi the ground.
This was also done to other gods.
Emperors, hying deified, this honor
was paid them. Then wealthy peo
ple and beautiful women were thus
toasted, and tin* habit of toast
ing was established, and later, show
ing sense, people decided to drink the
liquid instead of wasting it.

Armor Always In Use.
Men have used armor of some kind
since the days of earliest record
Even more striking Is the resem
blsnoe of modem armor to the armor oi
early design. Except in withstandlni
severe ballistic tests, neither our mod
ern plate nor our padded armor seemi
. to be much Improved. The helmet
and corselet of today are in many re
.Hpects strikingly similar to those o’

Ice Made in 1857
Early in the development of science
Ice occupied the attention and engaged
the researches of famous scientists.
Galileo in 15U7 discovered that ice was
ligiiter than water, hut it does not ap
pear that lie made any particular prog
ress beyond this fuct.
Begelatlon was observed by Fara
day in 1800, and the Investigation car
ried on by J. I). Forbes, by Tyndall
and by Thomson led to the knowledge
that commercialization of ice produc
tion might he lurried into a great in
dustry.
Americans came to the fore immedi
ately after. Boston exportation trade
was began by Tudor in 18(M5, and in
1857 Harrison perfected the machine
whereby the use of ether and salt wa
ter made possible tlie mass production
of artificial Ice.

Ancients Did Not Temper Copper.
The general belief that the ancients
were able to harden or temper copper
to a greater extent than is now possi
ble Is a myth in the opinion of the
United States geological survey, De
partment of the Interior. It is well
known to metallurgists that processes
of rolling will harden copper to some
extent and that It can hIko lie hardened
by the addition of other metals. .Speci
mens of ancient so-called “tempered"
copper that have been examined have
Invariably proved to he no harder than
copper that Is manufactured to-day, oi
to he simply an alloy of copper and
some other metal.

Atlanta, ’ —“More Money for!
Cotton’’ will be the cry of Georgia
Farmers from one end of the Scale'
to the ot>.er before the middle of Au
gust, according to the plans of the
Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-operative
Association, which is organizing Geor
gia cotton farmers to market their
cotton co-operatively on the California,
plan.
"More Money for Cotton" is the cry
of Georgia cotton farmers today, but
before ‘lay-by’ time is over they will be
saying it with a different meaning, it ■
is announced. “More Money for Cot
ton," says A. A. Elmore, Director of
Organization for the new co-operative 1
marketing association, “is what the
farmer says to-day when he is talking
about something that he badly wants
and hasn’t the slightest hope of get
ting. By the middle of August we be
lieve we will have him saying it be
cause ‘More Money for Cotton’ will
be something he has at last learned
how to get and is going after it; .anti.
repeating it because it is the campaign
slogan of the Georgia Cotton Growers’
Co-operative Association."
The Organization Committee is
going to stage a great drive, beginning
on the 27th of July and extending to
the middle of August. On the former
date, a campaign force of twenty
prominent speakers, headed by Hon.
Charles S. Barrett, Chairman of the
Organization Committee, will tour the
State in pairs addressing ten great
rallies a day. for twenty days, on be-
helf of the cotton association.
The drive will cover practically
eevry cotton county in Georgia, and
la being elaborately prepared for.
Arrangements in the thirty counties in
which the Association has already
built up local campaign committees
will be left largely in the hands of
these committees. At the same time a
force of field men is now being sent
out over the State by headquarters
for the purpose of bringing the num
ber of these local county committees
up to & hundred or more by the time
th drive is well under way.
These men will remain in the field
during and after the speaking cam
paign to assist local committees in a
great contract sign-up drive to be in
stituted at once, by which the asso
ciation hopes to sign up its minimum
of 300,000 hales by the first of Septem
ber.
Under the terms of the Association’s
five year marketing agreement, the
first cotton which Its members are
bound to deliver to the Association for
handling is the crop of 1922. In the
event that the Organization Commit
tee had signed the minimum of 300,000
bales on or before July 15,- the con
tract would have applied to the crop
nf 19“1. However, the organization
committee has only received within
the lust few days the resources nec-
essar.v to the proper development of a
statewide educational campaign, much
less an actual sign-up drive, and the
fact that it has already signed over
a thousand farmers and upwards of
20,000 bales of cotton to its contract
is regarding by leaders of the move
ment as very remarkable progress un
der the circumstances.
“The committee," said Mr. Elmore,
"has now until January 1, 1922, to
sign up the required minimum before
the Association goes into business.
But our member growers are urging
us to complete the minimum sign-up
at the earliest possible date for sev
eral very important reasons? " ' ’'- y
"The first Is, that while the 1922
crop is the first bound under our con
tract now, that does not mean that
the Association cannot handle 1921
cotton for its members if they so
desire, as soon as it is a going con
cern. A clause in our contract permits
the Association to handle cotton of
•previous crops’ at the joint option of
the Association anil the grower. If
our board of directors is elected and
on the job by, say, October 1st, the
service which the Association could
render its members in disposing of or
carrying the 1921 crop under special
agreements would likely be in
estimable. This is especially true in
the matter of cotton for export in
view of the favorable attitude of the
War Finance Corporation toward asso
ciations of this particular type demon
strated in its recently announced loan
of $6,000,000 to the new Mississippi
Staple Cotton Co-operative Association
which is organized strictly upon our
own plan.
"The fanners understond these
things, and wherever we have been in
touch with them are clamoring for us
to go forward with every ounce of
speed and effort, and we are going to
do it. I have had no opportunity till
now to build up a proper organizing
force, but I have had plenty of oppor
tunity to test out the sentiment of
the State, and there Is no longer the
slightest doubt in my mind that cor
rect co-operative marketing for cotton
is going over in the Stlte and going
over with a bang.'*

Simplicity has ever marked the designing and build

from an early understanding and appreciation of that
