MSTERIES in IEAL LIFE GET pTILL SCRUTINY business of Mellon Institute Likened to Detective I Service. ■HSCOVERIES OF VALUE I njr FREDERICK J. KASHIN. ■ PITTSBURG, July s— ls you think ■ it the solving of million-dollar mysteries is confined entirely to detective stories and the movies, you should visit the Mellon institute of Pittsburg and see how it Is done in real life. That is the Institute’s business—solving the various mysteries -which baffle and obstruct the path of American industry. That is what the Mellons, Andrew W. and Richard the well-known Pittshurg bankers, founded and endowed it for. While the institute Is operated as a part of the University of Pittsburg, and Is often mistaken for one of the university’s buildings, it really leads an independent life, with its own separate bank account, its own board of directors and its own fellowship system. EXPERTS BUST IN LABORATORIES. Working in its many splendidly equipped laboratories are experts, sent to it from all parts of the country by manufacturers and corporations who are anxions to improve the quality of their products, or to discover newer and cheaper processes for making them. Every kind of commercial product, from soap and cement to oleomargarine and glue. Is exhaustively studied hers, often with milllon-dollar results. Each manufacturer pays for his own particular line of experimentation by endowing a fellowship (sometimes two or three) In the Institute upon the understanding that he shall receive exclusive title to any results obtained. That is. any new processes invented by tho scientist selected for the fellowship are the property of the manufacturer. It Is also agreed that the nature of the research shall he kept absolutely quiet, unless the manufacturer or corporation Interested permits It to be made public. Hence, many of the most Interesting problems being worked out at the Institute are clothed In darkest secrecy, and the visiting public is merely permitted to smell the experiments that are going on. To most of the laboratories, however, one is given free access and graciously allowed to ask as many questions as one likes. FIBER BOARD TEST MADE. Wandering thus Inquisitively ab >ut tlie various laboratories of the Institute t!be other day, the reporter came upon a young man bending tenderly over a box '■obtaining numerous glass Jars of peanut butter. Upon questioning him, we found that the box and not the peanut butter was yie cause of his solicitude. The box was made of fiber board, and tha young man -was a fiber board fellow. It seems that some years ago the fiber board Industry was losing money because It could not prove that its fiber board product made Just as strong a container as wood. The railroads held that all corrugated fiber board boxes used as containers for freight shipments must meet certain specifications—that is, the fiber board used in their construction had to have a certain minimum thickness, and it bad to pass a specified bursting test. Th's A bursting test was made with a ciaehi ■T'caDed the "Mellon Paper Tester," not particularly designed for testing corrugated board, but which was used for lack of anything better. The results were unsatisfactory, and consequently the railroads refused to permit anything weighing more than ninety pounds to be shipped in fiber board containers.

So the fiber board Industry founded a fellowship at the Mellon institute, with directions to prove, if possible, that Bber board would stand up under much heavier loads. HE FOUND THE ANSWER. "And we have,” said the young man, running a anger over the heavy currujrited lining of the aber board box, "al- — though we had to invent anew machine do it.” 'lie pointed to a queer looking appatttat on a nearby table. "Thats our new Webb paper tester, indorsed by the United States bureau of ndards,” he explained. "ft shows that Bber board can easily stand up under 100-pound shipments, and even heavier ones.” Resides contributing this important invention, the Bber board research men at the institute have discovered several substitute materials to be used in the .manufacture of Bber board, which are much cheaper and Just as good as the ones originally used. For Instance, In place of the former expensive cambric tape used in sealing the Joint of a corrugated Bber box. a new tape, half paper and half cloth, has been devised which costa Juat about a fraction as much and answers the purpose equally as well. GRATEFTX TRUTH. Sometimes the results obtained from the research at the Institute are not so satisfactory to manufacturers, but at least they are gratified to know the truth. For example, not long ago the manufacturers of butter substitutes endowed a fellowship at the institute, in the hope of proving false the charge of physicians concerning oleomargarine and other vegetable butters—namely, that they did not possess the Important vitamlnes contained in batter. The scientists engaged on this work have not been able to refute this charge, but they have proved that butter aub- * atitutes are as good as butter, if the lost vitamlnes are replaced by some other item in the diet, such as milk and green vegetables. It is also possible that before they " finish their work they may succeed in capturing an elusive vitamlne or two and injecting it into the recipe for butter substitutes. The quest for Important industrial secrets is a long and tedious business, often requiring years of research work to demonstrate what, in the end, appears as a simple, common sense fact. Months of preliminary investigation must often go by before the research man even starts bis work on anew process. Thus, as one of the directors of the institute points out, patience is a cardinal virtue in the manufacturer who wants to profit as much as possible from research work. The world was not made Id a day, al♦hough to look at it any one might think so, and Industrial mysteries art not solved in a week or two. This statement is rather humorously corroborated by a manufacturer endowing a fellowship at the institute for some dental research work. What was wanted was anew dental w-ement which would fulfill the requirements laid down by a prominent dentist, of one of the large medical colHURRY. signing the contract f tie this manufacturer says, -j >£Vi in two or tsjrec * £s that to our undertaking to show signs of life.

HUCK’S ADVENTURES RETOLD ON MOVIE SCREEN Drury Lane Thriller at Ohio—Child Singer at Colonial—Talmadge at Circle

A boys' heart has been exposed. Mark Twain did it first in "Huckleberry Finn,” but It remained for the Paramount people to show the real heart of Huck on the screen. Everybody in the wide world loved Huck in book form dnd he will be even better loved on the screen, although some liberties were taken by the movie people of the story. Not every story that is transferred to the silent drama have the same attraction that it had in book form. But this is an exception. The director must have seen the principles involved; he must have been young once, and dreamed tbe same dreams that "Huck” and his pals dreamed. The Photoplay reflects the immortal story, only slightly altered, and with all its old charm and attraction. Lewis Sargent is Huck and makes us all see again the days when we dreamed of Just the same adventures and deeds that we see in this play. Huck is the personiflcrAlon of the hopes and ambitions of the average American boy, and Sargent realises his responsibility in the re-toiling of Twain’s story.

Probably every man and boy in the audience thought that Mark had taken a page from his boyhood dreams for his plot. Never for a moment does the audience see anything extraordinary in the character of Huckleberry Finn. Sargent sees to it that his characterizations at all times bears the imprint of carefulness and natural acting. The cast is good, all-the characters of the book appear true to life. We needn’t begin to relate the story of tho play because everybody knows this story. And tbe movie, like all little boys and girls, "should be seen and not heard.” It is a triumph for the makers of motion pictures to be able to translate Mark Twain's story with such great success as has been done. Opinion—Lewis Sargent Is a premier delineator of the American boy and has a wonderful story for this appearance, and a cast and director who must be congratulated for the production of America’s great boy story. At English's all week. -!- -I* + SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SINGER SINGS NEW JAZZ SONGS. A little tot by the name of little Berna Deane Murphy, aged 7, rather gathers in the honors on the new bill at the Colonial. She has a cute little way In putting over a song, eapeclally a jazz number or two, and she Is good for several encores. A child generally makes good before a mature audience, but Miss Murphy has an unaffected way about her which causes the little singer to win on her merit! and not by the ancient habit of audiences applauding children because they are children. She Jumps from one song number with ease and every word she utters can clearly be beard over the theater and that is something which can not be Mild of many grownup aingera. One’s appreciation of Eugene O’Brien In "The Figurehead” will be determined largely by one’s knowledge of "rotten gang’’ politics and the methods political bosses use in putting over their candidates. • O'Brien in this movie is a aodty butterfly who la madly in love with a society girl, but the girl gives up the idle life and attaches herself to a mission in the slums. She will have nothing to do with Eugene unless he works and he accepts the candidacy for mayor of a town. Finally he discover* that he is only a figurehead and that his own party manager ia pledged to the other party's candidate. O'Brien gets his fists in action, shows up the gang, wins at the election and marries the girl he loves. Opinion: Rather strenuous work for the star, but the action of the play is supposed to take place when something stronger than soda water was served at political headquarters.—W. I>.

At the end of that time, since the fellowship was terminated and we had paid our money, we had the privilege of taking our choice of two cements, developed by our chemist, neither of which was worth manufacturing. “Our board of directors discussed the situation for two or three days. “We looked at it from every angle, with the result that we decided to stick. “We faced a big loss anyway, which would never be anything but a loss If we quit. “And we were twelve months nearer the solution of our problem. “So we blindfolded the treasurer and cut for anew deal. “Then we proceeded to wait for several more months, and finally, Incredible as It bad come to seem, our waiting was rewarded. “One day our chemist came tearing Into my office with his hair fairly standing on end, and shonted, ‘l've got it!’ “And he had—a new dental cement which beat all of its kind on the market. “But that day was one year seven months and two days from the day we signed up for the research.” Thrift Shirts Oust Silk in Show Window A month ago the shirt window of a downtown haberdashery displayed sl2 silk shirts and $2 50 shirts, according to the New York World. The expensixe silk creations were temptingly displayed In the lower part of the window. Tucked away at the top and half hidden by the trimmings the plebeian apparel seemed to apologize for existence. Tne shirts are still in the window. But the window has been redressed. The two kinds of shirts have changed places. The $2.50 shirts now have the place of honor. They are advertised as “thrift jhirts" at $2 each, are probably good value for the money, and will render at least six times the service of the shirts that coat six times as much. The public was responsible for the redecoration of the window. The haberaasher merely took orders. 57 DAYS; 57 EGGS.

The result is that both wives see very little of their husbands and so their problems are similar—both are lonely . Into the lives of both idle women comes temptation and they handle the problem as their posltlous in life have fitted them for the conflict.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By DAVID CORY.

You remember in the last story how the miserly old miser was going to let Puss kill all the rata and the mice that lived In the castle and then not give him a penny for doing It. Well, before we go any further, I'll tell you right now that I won't let that mean old miser play any such trick on little Puss Junior. No, Indeed! Not if I have to buy a thousand traps and aend them up to the old miser, and make him pay for them and Puss Junior besides! “Come In,” said the miser, and he “Puss took lvls bag of gold end left the castle.” led Puss into the old broken down castle. And Just then a big rat darted across the floor and a little mouse peeped out of her hole, and this made the old miser very angry. "That's the rat that gnawed the string to one of my money bags,” he said. "And that's the little mouse that ate my bread and cheese.” And then that miserly old miser grew even more angry. “Well, before I begin," said Puss, "I

So Puss took off his coat and hit red top boots and bis pink waist-coat and his hat with the big waving plume, and then he got down on all bis four paws and crept softly out of the room. “Ho, ha!” said the old miser, “I’ll soon be rid of all the rata and the mice without It costing me a penny," and then be rubbed hls hands together and sat down and waited. Well, he didn't have to wait very long before Puss returned and aald; "There Is not a rat nor a mouse left in your castle; not even the baby mice. So give me the bags of money that I may be on my merry way." But tho mean old mlesr began to laugh loudly, and then he aald; “What have you done with the rats end mice?” So Puss took him over to the window and showed him all the rats and the mice marching away In a long line. “There they go," said Puss, “and they’ll never come back.” “Well, you follow after them,” said the old wicked miser, and he tried to push Puss out of the window. And this made Puss Junior so angry that he gave three loud whistles and back came all the rats and mice as fast as they could. And when the old miser saw what was happening be brought out the bags of gold and gave them to Puss. “Now tell the rata and the mice to get out," he said In a croas voice. So Puaa took the bags of gold and went out of the castle, and all the rats and the mice followed after, and by and by they came to another old castle where a kind lord lived who didn't have any money. So Puss bought the castle for a bag of gold and gave It to the rats and the mice to live in forever and ever, and the kind lord went to London and Fuss went on hls way to seek more adventures.— Copyright, 1920.

SEARLES WANTS COMPLETE LIST OF WAR HEROES Records of 150, Who Made Supreme Sacrifice, Not Available. PEOPLE ASKED TO HELP Out of n total of more than 400 Marion county men and women who lost their lives in the world war, the records and photographs of only approximately 250 have been obtained for publication in the Indiana state war history, according to Ellis Searles, who made the collection. In the remainder of instances, he says, it has been impossible thus far to locate the relatives of the men, although every effort has been made. “The state historical commission, which will publish the history, hopes to make the list complete,”'Mr. Searles said yesterday. “It would be unfortunate.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By ANN LISLE.

CHAPTER LXXXII. “Please, Mr. Hyland.” Virginia put up one white hand wearily, and Neal drew back aa if she had thrust him away. Never have I seen any one more thoroughly snubbed, nor more cowed by a mere gesture. As an outlet for his anger and hurt amazement, Neal rushed over and poured lumself a glass of lemonade—then he began striding up and down tbe room uneasily, drinking in large gulps as he moved. Virginia appeared unaware of him. She turned to Jim, saying: "Dear, you were going to telephone the Rochambenu for rooms. As soon ns I have had another of Anne's delicious sandwiches I shall have to think about carrying my little Phoebe off for her beauty sleep.” And then I turned and noticed how completely Phoebe had awakened. Neal bad paused In his march and was staring down at her pretty, rumpled hair, she looked up and smiled shyly. “Hu!-lo!" sa'd the boy, in great amazement. This wasn”t a child—a "kid,” as Jim had called her—but a young lady, as Neal could see now that he really looked at her. “Hello!” said Phoebe, demurely. Her long lashes fluttered down again, and the pink of cherry blossoms crept over her little heart-shaped fsce. Then she untangled her feet from under her and straightened up, with an eye t* Virginia’s ideas of prosperity. I suppose. Neal took this as an Invitation and sank down at her side. For a minute they sat quiet, looking at each other with eyes that were ajmost frightened. Then Neal burst out: "I thought you were a kid." “I’m a woman grown—seventeen’." cried Phoebe. Then they laughed, and the ice was liroken. Soon they were deep in the process of getting acquainted. T crossed over to Virginia. “You won't want to stay long at tbe hotel, I suppose’ I ventured. “But even while you’re there you will come to me for lunch and dinner at least?" “We’ll see," my si3ter-ln-law replied. "I shall be very busy hunting an apartment.” “Oh, I'd lore to help you, Virginia. If you like I'll call for you at the hotel in the morning and take you to the Mason offices. I’m sure they will be able to give you Just what you want—(bey did so well for ns," I cried. “My dear Anne, you need not trouble yourself. I’m an old New Yorker—ana shall manage very nicely—without the Masons,"’ returned Virginia. I felt that I had presumed—that she had Intended her words to convey “without the Masons—or you !” Before 1 could reply Neal burst ont

enthusiastically. His faith In himsel'. had been quite restored by Phoebe's evident admiration. "Say, folks, make your plans without tbe Junior members of the family for tomorrow night. Phoebe and I are going on a party with Evelyn Mason and Sheldon Blake.” “Jim, are those the Masons who once lived next to us?" asked Virginia with lifted eyebrows. "The same. Don’t you remember Tom and his little cousin, Evy?” "Evvy!” I knew that Virginia was recalling to mind the affairs between Jim and Evelyn, though she said no more than the girl’s name. "No, Phoebe, deai —Mr. Hyland must make his plans without including you. You are far too young, dear, to go in his—parties.” Again Virginia had eliminated Neai from her scheme of things—brushed him aside. "Come, Phoebe,” she said, and swept into my bedrooom to get her hat and furs. Phoebe rose, her eyes tear-filled. She took a step forward, then forgetting her own pain and remembering his hurt, .>he turned and slipped her hand into Neal’s with a quick Utttle confiding gesture. “I'm sorry, Neal,” said Phoebe. “I'd —l'd be glad to go anywhere you took me.”—Copyright 1920.

The Right Thing at the Right Time By UJSY MARSHALL 8. DCFEKR. OVEBSEAS MANNERS. The anxious mother of a returned soldier recently propounded this interesting question. Should mothers of men who have been in tbe service, in trench and camp, correct them for the little uncouthnesses of manner that they have acquired in their months away from home? The alternative, of course, would be more pleasant for the mothers, for nobody has a very good time who puts herself in the rule of a corrector, even to her own son. Children expect and, of course, need correcting, but grown sons don’t expect it and don't very well like It. Now tho mother in question reasoned in this way: Her sou is still a good son, a pleasant companion. < However, he has acquired various little habits which, though they may have been well enough in the barracks, are uot suitable to a drawing room. He is less polished, less formally polite, less attentive to the finer points of behavior. Some day he will want to settle down and be married. And aren't tbe little uncouthnesses Just the sort of thing that will make him an Irritating husband? Aren’t they Just the sort of things that a sensitive, impressionable young girl would find it hard to get t’ong with? It Is really more for tne sake of the future wife that the mother thinks she ought to correct him. A* for her. she is glad enough to have him home, safe and whole, and to forgive any little roughness of manner. This is an Interesting problem, and doubtless many mothers already have solved it. They probably have decided that correction may be given in tbe gentlest, most tactfnl way, and they have given as little of It as possible to achieve the result desired.—Copyright, 1920. REWRITES PRAYER BOOK. LONDON, July s.—Canon Dalton, of Windsor, has more or leas rewritten the prayer book. Anew edition to be published shortly by the Cambridge university press omits the fatal “obey.” “Everlasting damnation” Is toned down and now reads "eternal condemnation."

HOME GARDENS REAL PURPOSE OF NEW SOCIETY Carry Campaign Into Every Home in Country by Stereopticon. PLAN TO LEARN NATURE “Cultivation of home gardens Is tbe fundamental purpose of the American Homecraft society,” declared George H. Maxwell, executive director of tbe organization, in discussing the campaign which will be opened to enroll thousands of American citizens In Its membership. The American Homecroft Society has been organized with Its national headquarters at Indianapolis. A lecture tour through all sections of the United States Illustrated by stereopticon pictures of ideal homes will be one of the big features of the campaign, according to Mr. Maxwell’s plans. The society will also maintain an Information bureau to which persons may write asking questions regarding the best way and the best time to plant and how to cook the products from the home ; garden. PROVE BOON TO CHILDREN*. “There are hundreds of children every year,” said Franklin Vonnegut, president of the Homecraft society, “who are deprived of good food and fresh air on acI count of the crowded conditions cf tbe neighborhoods in which they live. “Tenement children grow to be rest- | less, selfish and brutaL” Mr. Vonnegut said that the only thing which can make these children grow up to be contented men and women is to teach them to love nature and her works. In connection with this Mr. Marshall j proposes a twelve months' school session i for the children, the summer months ! being devoetd to gardening. ■'Children who are taught to work with their hands to cultivate a garden and get food from it will learn to love rural life and nature, so they will shun the flats aDd tenements of the cities.” Mr. Maxwell declared that only tl children who have fresh air and iW shine have a strong chance to grow to be healthy men and women. Letters will be sent out to ,business ; houses in all parts of the country as ; one means of communicating with the people is the pLn of Mr. Maxwell, i “The success of the war garden stlmulates us to believe that we can be very successful,” said Mr. Marshall.
