EVERY nxheriiiiin knows what ev
ery fly tniiker should know Unit
a (lull scoffs lit an iinnuturul, woml'-n-looking,
greatly over nI.c linllatlon of
a (ly. A eerluln aniall-town girl knew
that, and now atie la "rimklnu good"
hy eoiiHlnictlng little II lea which rent-
ly ffol the flHh,
This girl happena to live In a village
where litis fishing- ilrawa liuiny trans
ient llHliennen. Hut she declures that
alio "doesn't know a thing" about flah ;
and that she didn't know a tiling about
llli'H, either, till aha set about to leiirn.
Therefore, aha la aura that any girt
ran make flnh flies.
"You don't need any specialised
knowledge to take tip artificial fly
making," ahe aasured me one after
noon when I vlalted the little work
aliop where ahe makea her (Ilea, "and
you don't need any capital. All you
need la patience, and a desire to do
the work well. Yet the business U
very specialized and extremely well
paying." .
This girl learned Iter business, flrat
by examining her father's fishing
tackle; and, second, by consulting
public library books on fly making.
Dissecting one of her father's flies,
sht found that Its conat ruction was
ijulte simple.
Conat rurtlng these lures for fishes
la one of the best occupations for the
girl who Uvea In a town where Ashing
la popular. She needs only to have
a willing mind and skillful fingers.
She has none of the difficulties of
the girl who sells vegetables or eggs,
neither must aha take ber wares Into
a targe rlty to dtspoae of them. Her
market la right In her own fishing vil
lage, and It la practically sure to be
a good one. Moat every fishing vil
lage, no matter how small, boaata a
sporting goods atore, and of course It
peclalty la fishing equipment. The
girl fly maker can sell her handiwork
to this store, and can. In many
cnaes, aocure a yearly contract for
her wares. She can sell her files di
rect to the sportsmen, too; and there
will be a ready aale among the flalier
men If ahe sella them better files than
they usually get, perhaps at slightly
'ower prices.
Finding a market will not bother
the girl fly maker who can construct
a fly so luacloua and lifelike that It
i 111 make any flsh rtak his Ufa.

through the premature explosion of a

Koslyn Moore, bad painted The

"It muat have broken his heart to
know, later, that hla picture waa fa
mous, but bla eyes forever closed to
Its beauties."
The picture brought htm a fortune.
That, of course, made affliction more
bearable, but at once Moore took up
music. He la a happy man through
all his hard adversity."
"Ah I It la pathetic," waa the re
sponse. "See, how he moves along."
The two speakers were Parisians,
In the Latin quarter. They were re
garding and speaking of Roslyn
Moore, Their brief colloquy had told
nil the story there waa to tell.
Juat now, cane In hand, he was cau
tiously groping hla way down the
pavement leading away from the en
trance to bla hotel. He had not gone
ten atepa when the ragged newsboy
at the corner stand ran up to him.
It waa to seize one arm gently and
with Infinite eager tenderness lead the
unfortunate across a narrow alley.
There waa a little breathing spot
of a park a square further on. It waa
here that Moore spent a portion of hla
day, usually surrounded by the poor
children from the near tenements.
In order to reach the park Moore
had to cross a broad esplanade. At
lta Inner edge a young girl of eighteen
kept a cheap flower stand. Pity that
he could not see Ceclle, as ber face
brightened at the first glimpse of him I
Her small, pretty hand would steal
shyly Into his own. Proudly, flutter-
Ingly she would lead him across.
"Thanks, mademoiselle, you help to
make my life beautiful," always Moore
would say, but never an audible re
sponse. Only a soft pressure of the
guiding hand, and then a flower,
Finally, for a week Ceclle missed
her friend. She grew pale and thin
and distressed. She watched from
her little booth hourly, Moore was
gone, and with him her sole Interest

There came to her the woman In
charge of the little hotel one day. She

AMERICA ON WHEELS.
THE VEGETABLE FIGHT.
E. H. Gary, bead of the biff
yeat Industrial organisation In the
world, and John D. Rockefeller,
Jr.. represonting what ia probably
still the biggest fortune in the
world, had breakfast with Presi
dent Coolldge at the White House.
They discussed law enforcement
and the findings of a cltisens' com
mittee of one thousand.
Those three men make an In
teresting breakfaat combination,
Gary became head of the great
steel concern when he wu paat
fifty; Rockefeller, Jr., bora o own
and manage the world'a greatest
fortune, is removed by only one
generation from a little farm in
the hills along the Hudson, and
Calvin Coolldge In one generation
la promoted from a farm In Ver
mont to the White House.
Apparently, ''caroers are still
open to talent," aa Napoleon pot
tt, hare in America.
A curiosity interesting to women
la thus announced, "Twins Born
in Different Years." One, Thom
as Daniel, was born in 1924, hi
brother, James, waa born in 1925,
two houra and fifty-five minutes
after his older brother.
There is a new plan for teach
ing little boys how to grow up.
This is the "Knighthood" plan,
to teach little boya chivalry and
guide them away from evil.
It's a good plan, presumably,
but it ia possible to overdo schemes
and plans for showing boya how
to act and think.
They need some time in which
to think exactly in their own way.
It ia the thinking that a boy doea
on hla own account and of his
own free will that counts.
Little Newton, called a dull boy,
was thinking out the law of gravi
tation. Napoleon, called a sulky
boy at his military school, was
making plana that surprised his
surgeon In Ixmdon. He Imde me bring
you the money, and euch day you are
to take your daintiest blossoms to the
little ones In the park. He left the
word, too. It was this : A i kiss
through me of hope, of courage, of
gratitude," and the woman pressed
bar llpa to the brow of the pure, ln
nat girt.
Qelle buret Into tears. She clasped
the hand of the kindly dame, kneeling.
Tfeea she stood transfixed as In a
dream. The kiss from him! A coro
net seemed to wreath her brown. She
was aroused only as she heard some
one address the departing messenger.
"The maestro la gone, I hear" was
uttered.
"Yea," came the answer, "but to re
turn to the spot where loving heart si
made of life a paradise. We pray for
him that his sight may be restored,
aa he hopes."
"Ah, Indeed, may heaven be mer
ciful to return him to see bla grand
matrptece In the aulon "
"He said not."
"Then why whatT"
"Ceclle, be said" The voices
died away, the soulful eyes of the
girt stole startllngly after them.

Sugar companies, oil and rail
road companiea are organizing
eeat mergera, bigger and bigger
lustrtal units are coming. In
the and, perhaps, single units will
lnclade entire industries.
No need to worry about it. The
bigger the better, if the public
frets Its share of the aavings. If
the public Is not Intelligent enough
to watch and regulate one big con
cern, it won't be able to watch
and control the secret inside deals
of a dozen little concerns.
Very expensive is the overhead
in wasteful competition, and the
public pays the entire bill always.
Ines Hardin, the Mississippi
girl chosen aa the healthiest girl
in the country, ia deacrlbed as a
bundle of sunshine. Health and
sunshine go together.
The young girl is a bundle of
common sense also, and says "I'll
marry when I'm thirty. Not un
til then." Some healthy boy may
change her mind, but she would
be wue to stick to her plan.
Healthy mothers have their best
babies after thrity, and in fact
iter thirty-five. Plato knew it,
. mora than 2,000 yeara ago.
We know that America rules the
world in automobile use and pro
duction, having more automobiles
than all the rest of the world
combined, with millions of ma
chines to apare. How much do
we ride?
This country in 1924 manufac
tured 45 million tires. Allowing
an average mileage of 6,000 miles,
which is Tow, and dividing by four,
you find that tires enough were
made in one year for more than
sixty-aeven and a half billion
miles travel twenty-aeven hun
dred thousand tiraea around the
earth.
One scientist tells others that
the potato vine la deadly to to
bacco and tomato plants, to both
of which the potato is related. The
aap from the ordinary potato plant
will kill the two other plants.
Combat and destruction extend,
you see, from proud man at the
top of creation all the way down
to the abode of the potato bug.
Tobacco men rejoice, saying,
"You have abused our tobacco, and
now it's your highly moral potato
that does the poisoning."
The potato farmer answers, "Po
tatoes may destroy tobacco plants.
But remember that pigs destroy
rattlesnakes, yet pigs are less poi
sonous than rattlesnakes."
The Interesting thing is the
proof that in the vegetable world
there are fights as bitter as in
the world of what we are pleased
to call "intelligent thought."
Imploring the flower fairies to tell the
mystery.
She hid her hand in her bosom,
blushing ,88 though to shut away the
sight of a telltale. Had those tender
fingers told the story of her devotion,
had the thrill of her gentle soul per
meated her touch of the hand she so
cherished?
And then one day oh, love Immor
tal I There came out from the en
trance of the hotel the familiar form.
But there was no cane now. He
walked erect, his bearing that of some
knight, gladsome, In rhapsody with
life and all Its message. A new glory
shons from the noble face, sightless
no longer. Straight up to the palpi
tating Ceclle he advanced, both hands
extended. And there he stood, silent,
motionless, while lie gazed into the
very aoul of the lovely girl.
"Ceclle 1 Ceclle!" he said softly at
length "to see you first, my dream,
my thought reality 1 Come I am
yours, you are mine."
Her hand went tremulously to her
lips. In mute signal she motioned that
she was dumb.
"I knew It not until the day I went
away," he said, the more fervently en
circling her dear hand. "And then I
knew how I loved her who loved me

graceful even carry an ap

ornery-like, and loaf around

auntie was a spinster, and not In the
first bloom of youth. In fact, an un
kind person had once. been heard to
refer to her as "old," and we believe
the other word used was "cat" Any
how, Bhe was not young.
Auntie was determined to give her

to give Margaret a chance of apprect
