The reasons why Messrs. Lyman and Colllni were 10 greatly In demand were nunieroua ind Interesting. These were versatile gentlemen, ind If on vocatlnn proved Irksome or unhealth- ful from the legal point of view, they could iIwhti pan on to another. At one time they bad been Interfiled In quiet little gumhllng tnatltutlon In Ut. Louis, whose light bad gone out suddenly under the police snuffers. After tlill there bad been I period of flinnclnl depreaalon, during which they 'appeared In new locality with little scheme for Inveallgatlng the content of life! without dUturblng the com bination.

They found It convenient to change their occupation frequently, it well li their post olfice address; It diverted the onVlitl mind, and kept It guessing, Mr. Colllni found hli partner In murveloualy ihort time; he wai used to It lie iliook till head a trifle, Which meant that their Immediate fu lure waa not of n encouruglng na ture.

He wai now reudy for bualness, and If there wer any Investigating gentle men craning their neck a to aee a man In a brown derby, they mlaaed him. Then l.ymun caught Colllni' eye ever the bead of a dozen or more men, nd pulled out a huge roll of bllli which ran Into the thousands, flutter lug them over with the air of a man who hie plenty more, and will rlak the whole bualneai with all the pleasure In the world. He turned hli bick de liberately upon Colllni, who edged bll wiy toward lilm, watching blm with eharp but furtive eyes.

I'p it the front Urownley turned In urprlae 11 he beard roar behind him. tour thousand men, not more than twenty of whom knew the cauae for their flight were bearing down on blm In bowling, fear-atrlcken mob, weeping toward the rear exits. The old Guttenburg pool room wai not n lavishly provided with exits il the more modern atructurea, and a mob there waa a thing to flee from. There waa but one thing to do, and that wai to run for life or death In the earn direction. Kven ae he ran Urownley law mei piling on each oth er In layera In their frantic efTorta to Jump from the windows, but lie ahot past them for the broader eilt ahead and felt himself whla dizzily through the air aa be took a flying Jump Into the hack enclosure and landed on all fours on something soft and atruggllng a man of vast circumference, who swore frightfully at the concussion. A pain ahot through Itrownley's foot but be rolled awlftly to one aide, Jual aa the pushing, atruggllng muss poured out on the ground. It wi over In three minutes, and men rushed from all aldea to disen tangle the beeped up mass of human ity. Many picked themselves up and limped off, disheveled ind cursing, but onie hid to be lifted carefully, with broken rlbi ind leg, ind bleeding faces, ind above and around there was babel of excited questions. Holla of money Ind disappeared In the rush, witches were lost and bata gone, but no one knew what had happened. Later, aome of the few who had aeeo It told how alight a matter had itarted a great itampede, and J. Urownley awore to himself as he went through the streets In an ambulance, with a leg and ankle that would lay hlin up for weeks to come, snd ten thousand brutsei distributed Impartially over his person, but Messrs. William Lyman and M. Colltna were far away, speed- Ing through the land In a pullumn car and drinking cool drinks. Kven J, Urownley snd his exasperated aides did not guesa that they had done this thing. "It waa great game," sighed Mr, Colllni contentedly, tipping hli glial with his fingers snd noting with dreamy satisfaction that their nearest fellow traveler was three chairs away. "It waa the slickest thing I've seen this season, and there was lots of money dropped or pinched In th shuttle. I went In with the crowd, Illlly, and I made some futr pickings myself." "So did I." admitted Mr. Lyman with a reminiscent chuckle. "We've made the haul of our lives this day, and If Urownley wasn't killed, It'll take him all summer to piece himself to gether again. It certainly was a great game, Mickey. We'll work It again." VilamtntM The word "vitamins" was first used by Dr. Cssmlr Kunk, when he fancied he bad prepared a pure or nearly pure form from rice pollshlngs by extract ing them with alcohol and purifying the extract which when applied even In very Small doses wss capable of curing polyneuritis In pigeons In startling manner. The derivation of the word Is obvious, from vita, life, and amine, an ammonia derivative, because It appeared to be t auhstance necessary for the maintenance of lire and health and waa thought to contain nitrogen In amine form.

The narrow country road unfolds, to be plunged again behind you. You take the dips and curves, leup over bridges snd culverts, flash paat sign posts, the thrumming of your motor drowning out nil other sounds. That's the thrill of It Hut there's others on the road besides yourself, snd that may bring dimmer, Any motorist who has driven on au tomobile ut night has experienced an uneasy feeling when meeting or psss- Ing mother cur where the road-edge Is blotted out by the darkness, and there Is no way to tell how fur ons can turn out In safety. Many a fender has been tipped and bent be cause the driver was afraid of rn'rt( Into the ditch which he couldn't see snd more than one serious acci dent has been due to the Imiiilllty of the driver to see the road-edge. Even with the advantages of good headlights and the nse of dimmers the driver Is bsdly handicapped unless be csn clearly distinguish the edge of the road line, snd know st glsnce Just bow far he can turn out Those drivers who are fortunate enough to have hard paved roads In their com munities sre welt a wore of the advan tages of such muds for night driving, I'sved road edge sre easily seen In the darkness. They act as a guide line for the driver, showing Mm at a glance Just where the road leaves off snd the ditch begin. There Is no straining of the eyes when one Is driving. I lark objects are easily dis tinguished, snd a horse-drawn vehicle or any other occupant of the road can be clearly seen from l distance.

Thla company operates a fleet of trucks over num ber of routes, many of the trips being made at night In mountainous sec tions the need for rlesr vision st night Is even more pronounced than on flat stretches of road, for If a driver ahould turn out too far to the aide of the road a bad split might result The experience of this company and the experiences of sll thoe who drive st night csrry a lesson for the motor ing public. The driver haa been told time and again to be careful. His motor club Is constantly working on ptuns to assure the safety of the suto owner. Anything that leans to sareiy on the road should he given particular attention, and when new roads are to be built careful consideration should be given to the feature of vis ibility at night Benefit of Motor Trucks in Transportation Seen "Marked progress In the methods of handling shipments baa been made during the Inat ten years," suld George M. Uraham, chairman of the traffic planning snd safety committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Com merce, speaking before the traffic club of New York. The Trafllc club Is com posed ot railroad men snd shippers. "The shift In population In our cities from SO per cent In WW to 61.4 per cent In WM has called for a reorgan Itatlon of shipping facilities, with par ticular need for big local terminal op erations. "The rullmen In the face of great obstacles have been meeting this sit uation effectively. Fortunately the de velopment of the motor vehicle has come about In this period, providing rspld transportation In the short-haul local Held. In 1914 the country was absorbing 23,000 motor trucks a year, and today about 400,000 new trucks sre being purchased annually. "Tills new development means better service for the public and more profits for the railroads which are engnglng In truck operation. From the public standpoint the carrying of goods iiro'mptly from the railroad terminal ly motor truck means a great saving of time. From the rati standpoint the truck provides sn economical means of carrying goods In lesa than carload lots over short hauls." Mr. Graham also emphasized the need on the pnrt of alt transportation authorities to safeguard the public, lie pointed out that the motor world Is demanding the severest punishment for reckless drivers and Is seeking the best methods of trafllc control Off-Flavor3 From Turnips Feeding turnips to .ta at tne rat of IB pounds, on hour before milking, produces object lonnhlt flavors and odors In the milk a careful Invest! gatlon recently conducted at tho ov- eminent experimental farm found the above true.

NEW5 IMPROVE METHODS FOR RANGE SHEEP Do you remerater when the only In vestment a sheep man had wss In hli ; camp outfit and in bis sheep? Buch a business could bs managed to yield a profit by methods which would spell ruin If owosd by the range sheep man today. The sheep man of today must own or lease land to stay In the business. This land must be purchased or leased to maintain watering places, to con trol and be assured of sufficient range, or produce feed for feeding. It la even necessary to own Improved ranch property before a permit will be granted upon the national forests. In vestments have also been made in dip ping vats, warehouses, storehouses, lambing sheds snd the like. All of these mean increased capitalization. A man with 800 to 1,000 breeding ewes can easily hsve an Investment In his rsnse business of 112,000 to 114.000. Much an Investment rt-uutivS li,..n.i- gerial ability, and the adoption of modern and approved methods of range sheep management, which was not needed In tie old days. Aside from an Increase In capitali zation, there has been an Increase In the operating expense!. The sheep havs been crowded out of the land which formerly afforded range, and now they must be fed hay during the winter. Labor charges have advanced, due to advances In the wsge scale and also becsuse the flocks have de creased In alze. In order to realise a profit from the business It Is necessary to Increase the per cent of lamha dropped. A great loss of lambs Is suffered from dropping to docking time. A range sheep man on ths Colorado National forest had 20 per cent lamb loss dur ing this time. He plans a lambing ahed to reduce this loss. Many range heep men have found that the aavlng In lambs soon psys for the cost of the lambing abed. B. W. Falrbanka, Ex- tenalon 8ervlce, Colorado Agricultural College. Hogs Require Shade and Clean Water in Summer Shade and clean water during the summer months sre essential to suc cessful pork production. All kinds of hogs must have shade. Too much di rect sunlight and heat Is a frequent cause of hogs falling to thrive and la often tlie cause of hogs dying. Dur ing July and Angust email pigs often blister on the barks snd about the ear which csusea, In some cases, se vere Infections and bad sores. Expensive shelter Is not necessary Shade tree provide ample protection. Where no trees exist temporary ehade may be t rorlded by th covering of a frame with canvas, under which the hogs mty go for protection. Some pro ducers build Individual nogbouses with sides that may be lifted to pro vide an Increased amount of shade during the summer months. This plsn furnishes shade for hogs where only a few are kept. Clean fresh wster for drinking and wallow la equally as Important aa, or more Important than, aba do. Hi oid- ttme wallow hole covered with scum. which was one also the drinking foun tain, I no longer In favor with the aucceaaful bog bn-eder. Hogs must have water to drink, and If they can not get fresh, clenn water In the trough or fountain, they will drink where they can And It regardless of Ita condition. This fact hs reused some to believe tbst hogs prefer noth ing better, but they do, snd will dem onstrate the fact when they are able to get fresh water from the well W!V!AWAWsV!S3S Live Stock Notes Don't feed moldy, or apolled silage. Don't Dut fresh feed In dirty or sour troughs. Don't forget to salt all animals reg ularly. Don't feed milk from tuberculous cattls to your animals. Keep the brood sows on the fnrm hogs are going to he high the coming year. Supplement pasture with siifflcleut grain to keep the hogs In good thrifty condition. Trotect cattle, horses, and mules from the torment of the biting fly and the horn fly by using fly repeilants. s About 02 per cent of pure-bred live stock Is marketed directly for meat purposes. . . e Low ceilings for hoglinuses save beat and lumber, Dut don't overlook the necessity of ventilation and sun shine. Two litters of not leu than seven pigs each, raised to maturity each year, more than double average profit from hogs. e Tli ewe with twin lambs should product much more milk and conse quently needs more feed than I best for th ewe that 1 feeding only ons lamb. 11 PHPTI A TVin VIV A Mm4JtXX ULX Portland, Oregon.

Pearls and Jade are two precious gems widely worn by women today, and one cause of their popularity Is the difficulty ot telling at a glance the real from the artificial.
