Nine' years' after' this contract had been fulfilled, Dr.
Harry , Lane, ? who.,had been superintendent' of the asylum
afc trjei time,, made, a, newspaper charge that Mr. Patterson,
-as a member of the grocery firm, had been guilty of furnish
ing an inferior article of corn meal to the institution. Ik
was shown at that time that Mr. Patterson had not seen the
corn deal; that it was shipped direct to the asylum by the
wholesale firm of Lang & Co. in Portland; it had been ac
cepted and paid for by vouchers signed by Dr. Lane, i No
oreath of, fault had been found in all the nine years. If any
one was at fault, it was Dr. Harry Lane
. And he continued to buy goods in the open market from
Gilbert & Patterson as long-as he was superintendent of the
asylum; about four yeara after the imaginary incident of the
poor quality of corn meal.

never any fault at all with the corn meal; that Dr. Lane

At this point he interpolated
stories of his own hard beginnings

SECRET CODES HOW TO MAKE THEM
Here is a code which has beenj
used Intending messages daring
. thevrar. It is not easy to solve,
and the tine thing about it is
that .it can be changed in such a
way as to contuse any one who
thinks he has theey. V '
' . Let'a pretend you are. a spy in
the camp of the enemy. You
have managed to conceal a car
rier pigeon toV send; a message
v back to the aide you are working
for. You can't write this message
out In plain English, ; because
there la too much danger of .the
pigeon getting into, the hands of
the'enemy. So you have a code
that yon have rgreed upon with
r the people with whom you are
working, ou will write the mes-
... , eage r in this code,' in very small
t letters, and fasten It Inside the
wing of the pigeon. : ... - -
r.. 'Forming the Code . . .
Suppose what ycin want "to say
Is; "The enemy Js in full retreat.
Strike, now." i Yoo go off to , a
place - where1 you can write out
tbe code message safely by you r-
selL ( Firsts you write down" aU
r" thSk letters "of the alphabet in auc-
ceeklon.' Then you write out the
message which you wish ; to put
into the code. r Next you put
dowaf theh key numbers for the
code."' - s,v;
These key numbers may be
i . numbers In any order, Just so you
andihe I person you are working
with at the other end have a clear
understanding as to what those
numbers are.i . Let's suppose
you've decided on 87921 as the
five numbers' for your key. You
then write these numbers above
the lettera ot your message: Us
ing the message given above, the
figure 8 goes over. the. letter T,
7 over H, 8 over K, 2 over E, and
1 over N. Then you start in with
the number succession all over;
8 over the E, 7 over M and so
on repeating the. letters until yQU
come to the end of the sentences.
Making the Message
' You are now ready to put your
message into code. It's very sim
ple. Above the letter T you have
the figure 8. You . then count
eight letters ot the alphabet from
T, and you have the code letter.
Do you see?
. Take your pencil an1 point to
the letters of the alphabet which
you have written out. v After T
you count U. V. W. X, Y, and Z.
But that Is only six letters, and
you are to count eight. So you
start at the beginning of the al
phabet. The seventh letter , will
then be A and the eighth is B.
Therefore, B is the' first letter, in
your code message.
. Proceed, just,, like .this to get
the -next .letter. The next one
Happens to be 11 and the number
above it is 7. You count forward
seven letters from II and the let-

ter you get Is Q. This makes the
second letter, of the code. It's
easy to finish up. When you get
through you have the following
succession of letters, whitten
close together: Pongomthcsmpw
hvtsaguxljvtbyrmfvvt." ' Doesn't
look like much of anything, does
it?
' Now If you toad received this
code message first, you would
have gone about solving it in
much the same way. You would
number the letters as you did in
making up the code, putting b
above b, 7 above O, and so on.
Then you would simply count back
the number of letters indicated.
That Is, when B is 8 you count
back through A, Z, Y, X, W.-V,
U, T. The eighth letter is T, and
is therefore the hidden letter of
the first message.
If some one gels hold of some
of youf secret messages, and you
are afraid they may manage, it
they're clever enough, to get hold
ot your key, it's a yery simple
matter to change the code. Ydu
and your partner merely change
the key numbers,, Instead of 87'
321, you might choose 46352
With this change, the letters used
in writing-the same message
would be entirely different.
A code like this, where you can
make your own key. is an "hon
est-to-goodness secret.

words are part of every club.

out a system of its own. Maybe
it's looking for just the things

AGE AND DIVORCE
Maybe one is never too old to
learn. At any rate, a couple who
have been married nearly fifty-
three years are now in the process
of divorcement. The wife says
that the husband has deserted her
and the husband says it was the
wife's nagging that did it. Seems
as if a man who had stood a bit
ot nagging for half a century
should be able to hold a little
longer and save his record. But
it looks as if the divorce idea has
spread into all corners and that
no one is really exempt.
