WOMEN OUTEAT MEN CONTENTION OF LUNCH COUNTER PROPRIETORS Do women get hungrier than men? This is a question which, while not worrying any one in particular, is causing considerable comment in the downtown lunch counter circles ol cities in all parts of the country. Owners and clerks of these quick-eating places, which have sprung up like mushrooms since prohibition, say that more than half of their business is with girls and women. And they argue that some of their office girl customers eat two or three times there each day. The proprietor of a soda and lunch counter in a New York office building which houses thousands of employes, about equally divided as to sex, says that the stenographers and other girls in these offices are more or less organized into what he terms the "Ten-Thirty Lunch Club". As regularly as the clock rolls around each day these girls drift down to the fountain one or two at a time, and stand there eating as if they had been forced to do without breakfast. Then around noon or about 12:30 c "clock back tney come for more and lots of it. About 3:30 in the afternoon comes the "third rush of the lunch club, and the manager of this fountain says the combined business of these three rushes about pays his rent. "Men get hungry, too," this manager states, "but they are not in it with the girls and women, for the men come down at regular lunch time, have their bite and then spend the rest

lined with girls and women.

SEEK FOR PIGMENTS

IN SOIL OF GEORGIA Mineral pigments must be mined like other products of the earth. In particular, the ochers, which are oxids of iron, running the gamut of color from rusty yellow to rusty red, are dug out of the ground like coal or copper. Writing in The Engineering and Mining Journal (New York), Marshall Haney describes the yellow ocher deposits of the Cartersvilie district in Georgia and the processes by which they are mined. The first ocher-mine near the town was opened, we are told in i877, the ore being hauled in wagons to this point,' were it was prepared for market. In drying the ocher a crude brick furnace with sheet iron bottom and a fire-box near one end was used. The first systematic mining and preparation of the ore with modern machinery were begun in 1891, and the output for 19.00 was- valued at $73,000. Writes Mr. Haney: "The ore-bearing area includes about 70 square miles in the southeastern portion erf Bartow county, partly in the Appalachian Mountains and Piedmont Plateau and partly in the valley. The region has been subjected to intensive compression and at many points the rocks have been greatly altered by chemical and physical action."

BABY CARRIAGE NOW SERVESJJEW PURPOSE

From the Springfield Republican The man who wheels a baby carriage has a passport into the best society, that of all the children along the street. They accept him without question, for has he not the" baby's indorsement? Who knows anything about the characters of the men who walk alone, how cold and cross they may be? But 'he man with a baby the smallest child knows that he can be trusted. "All the world loves a lover," and it is equally true that all the world loves a baby. You wake up to the fact in a surprising way the first time you go out behind the carriage. How faces brighten and break into smiles as the baby carriage comes along. There is a beam of sunshine all along the street. Everybody is acquainted

with the baby and free to speak. None of the artificial social barriers of. later" life obtains In the baby's atmosphere of the kingdom of heaven. How honestly people look at the baby! The man behind the carriage feels almost guilty to look straight into hearts unguarded when the masks commonly worn in public fall off. The young mothers look at the baby always lovingly, but also critically and comparatively. They mark how the little cap is made and the sweater. They note the color of eyes and hair. They guess how many months, how many pounds, what accomplishments. Just a glance suffices for the whole survey, and it always ends with a look of complacency on the young mother's face. For, on the whole, the strange baby, the beauiiful, is never found quite equal to our own baby at home.
