Chicago to London. A special train will carry freight from Chicago to New York In 48 | hours, observes Capper’s Weekly. This freight will be rushed aboard the great ship Majestic, the world's largest boat, built by the Germans and now operated by an English company, and if all goes well seven days after the freight is loaded in Chicago it will be unloaded in England. What would Columbus think If he could see this modem ship, says W. D. Boyce, according to Capper’s Weekly. The Majestic crosses the Atlantic in about one-sev-enth of the time. It could carry the three ships Columbus used, his entire crew and 2,000 other passengers, to say nothing of the tons and tons of freight. Four hundred years hence they may read about our trying to send freight from Chicago to England In seven days, and wonder why we were so slow. Probably airships as big as the Majestic will be making the Chicago-London trip in one-seventh of today’s time. Free Country.

WHY LIBRARIANS LIKE JOB Get Amusement Out of Singular Transformation of Book Titles in Memories of Readers. The scholastic hush of the public library Is seldom broken by a titter, but the librarianettes in the central circulation department have a steady refuge from hard work in the compilation of the singular transformations of book titles that take place in the memories of seekers for literary sweetness and light. Herewith is the latest unofficial bulletin, according to a New York Sun writer: “Have you got Jack London’s 'The Shout in the Woods'?” inquired a wistful young thing. “‘The Shout in the Woods'?” echoed the experienced librarianette. “Let me see. I'm sure I can find out which of his novels you mean. Oh, yes—isn’t It ‘The Calf of the Wild'?” “That's what I said,” r urmured the wistful young thing—“ ‘The Call of the Wild.’” Os course it’s a pardonable slip to ask for Galsworthy’s “For Rent” when you really want his “To Let.” The difference Is hardly worth mentioning. But it’s really almost profane to de--1 mand: “The Autograph on the Break--5 fast Table.” A Lady of Distinction Is recognized by the delicate fascinating influence of the perfume she uses. A bath with Cutlcura Soap and hot water to thoroughly cleanse the pores followed by a dusting with Cuticura Talcum powder usually means a clear, sweet, healthy skin. —Advertisement. Sear Hunting. Newfoundland seal hunters for generations have wasted most of their time in the actual location of seal herds. It was like spending an hour looking for a berry bush that could be “picked clean” in ten minutes. This appealed to trie imagination of ' Alan S. Butler, young English flyer, । out gunning for opportunity instead of wafting for her. He contracted to locate the seal herds at ten cents a head, by airplanes. Now his Aerial Surveying company is doing a land-office business and Butler is on the road to riches at twenty-three. It’s a humbug, that opportunity knocks once at every man’s door. Opportunity does pause at every man’s front gate, but she usually has to be dragged to the door by a constant watcher. Oysters Forever. The New York conservation com- ' mission has been successful at the Cold Spring harbor. Long Island, in the effort to produce oyster sets from artificially fertilized eggs, an achievement which has been striven for in one place or another for 40 years. This means that there will be little danger of exhausting the oyster sup ply, for by this method the oyster beds may be kept properly populated with growing oysters.

I 2 I The Efficiency X Girl t ❖ ' a— — ❖ a [«]; <• By I. WRIGHT f i A Si ©, 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. The classified advertising offices were agog with excitement and buzzing. Dust cloths unused for weeks were being flicked across the highly polished desks, well-sharpened pencils were being passed along the counters where the ad takers stood all day cheeking up the number of spaces, the number of words and costs of insertions in the classified advertising pages of the Chicago Mirror. Mary . Connolly alone was unimpressed by I the news of the efficiency expert who, । from the astounding rumors floating about, was evidently to come into the ' classified advertising offices, look about witli the sharp eye of a keen detective, suggest very radi< changes here and there as to lighting, position of desks and the cashier's cage and — worst of all —tire instantly those clerks I who were in any way inefficient. “The top of the mornin’ to you, Susie McGinnis,” she said gayly, taking out her fountain pen. “And why all of tliis merry cleaning and rushing about? The efficiency man —if he’s i any efficiency man at all —will see ■ through your little foibles.” “I wish you’ll call me Suzanne," pet- | tishly exclaimed Susie McGinnis. “And I think you don’t realize the importance of this man. The boss upstairs has seen him work before and lie’s told him that he can have any one in the whole place he wants to assist him. Wouldn’t that beat the cat's pajamas? The efficiency girl I I —” A shabbilj’ gowned old lady had come up to the desk and was waiting in front of Mary Connolly. "Did you have an advertisement to place?” asked Mary pleasantly, “Yes, I did.” answered the old lady tartly. "You didn't think I was standing here merely .to hear that bobbedheaded young miss there use new slang, did you?” Her black eyes snapped angrily. “I beg your pardon." murmured Mary, “perhaps 1 can write your advertisement for you?" Sho was looking at the empty hands of the advertiser. “It's not much to write. Just say: । ‘Wanted: a room.’” Mary stared at her. Odd were many of the advertisements placed witli her each day. Brief were some of them. But this one! No one would know from the advertisement in what part of tlie city it was desired, what j type <>f room—cood accommodations with their commensurate cost or less convenient ones that would be reasonable —a hundred ideas flashed through Mary Connolly's mind. She herself, seeing the little old lady with her shabby black outfit, guessed that an Inexpensive room was desired. Yet she could not be sure. “Suppose we put in just a little more." she ventured gently. “You see It doesn't tell much—just ‘wanted: a room !’ ’’ “Doesn't tell much! Doesn't tell much!" snapped the old lady. “Tell me right to my face I'm an idiot, will you? Til have niy son come down here at once—l'll tell him the whole thing, that I will ! I—an idiot, indeed !" Angrily sho shook her head at rhe bewildered Mary, whose face was red and white by turns. “But —I—” gasped Mary, wondering how affairs could have taken such a turn that she should be accused of calling a gentle-looking old lady in rusty black an idiot. A man standing near came forward and Mary was not surprised at all. so excited was she. to hear the old lady call him Jolin and tell him that the young lady had called her a fool. "I—" again gasped Mary. “We have orders to assist in the advertisements whenever it is possible. You see,” she explained earnestly, “we don't accept less than two lines, and so I wasn't trying to get her to pay any more money out. It was just that if she said where she wanted the room and what price she wanted to pay or what kind of room she wanted, whether for rooming, boarding or light housekeeping. why, you see. she would have more replies. I was thinking of the answers she would have—I —I—” Mary Connolly’s blue eyes filled. Noise of any sort was undesirable in the classified advertising offices and there was no doubt that dismissal would follow such a scene as this. Above that, however. was the idea that she had wounded the gentle little old lady in her failed suit. She heard across the polished counter the tall man called John explaining the whole thing in low tones. Several tears rolled down Mary’s cheeks amt she was aware of the interested eyes of the other ad-takers. In a few minutes the little black bonnet of the old lady began to nod. “I had a bad night in that hotel—-

THE AGE OF CHIVALRY IN AMERICA

Represented by the Actual and Mythical Doings of the Hemisphere’s Original Inhabitants. Every man, I hope, retains enough of the boy to warm to the memory of Fenimore Cooper's magic spell, Warwick Ford writes in Arts ami Decoration. 'Die red Indian ami his actual ami mythical doings represented our age of chivalry, the golden pathway of high emprise. With maturer years comes the realization that the original inhabitants of | this hemisphere were not alone hunters of an adroit skill and heroes of vague warpaths, but represented very definite and extremely interesting social ami artistic problems. With our expanding knowledge ot their customs and arts this feeling grows, and from our early romantic interest blossoms an ever-deepening respect and dawning conviction that the arts of these dead but not forgotten years will one day add an infusion of interest to our own decorative expression. Surely our designers cannot much

didn’t sleep a wink,” the old lady told her. “You write it up. Make it as long as you want, and make It right. I guess,” the old eyes twinkled, “we'll let John pay for It anyhow. And. John, if this young lady would help me—well, I’d get some clothes if site d help me choose them. I guess she wouldn't be afraid to tell me if anything was too young or too gay or anything.” She was smiling at Mary now, happy as a child, tiie recent wound forgotten. "The boss upstairs told me I could have anyone I wanted to help me. I think I'll have to take Miss Mary for woter Into which two tablespoons of my efficiency girl if she's satisfied. Barton spoke of her right away and told me where I’d find her." The surprised ad-takers saw their j Mary Connolly, now the efficiency | girl, “pass out the little swing-gate I and go for her coat and hat. Barton, j the boss, was surprised, too, when he I passed along that way to be button- ' lioled by the new efficiency num, who i said seriously: "Say, Barton, old man, I 1 want to tell you that you'd better look about for a new ad-taker. I’ve always said I'd never marry a girl mother didn’t like and sa-a-ay—the way she took to the little Mary Connolly—well, it took my breath. I don’t । know what she thought of me. but what’s tiie use of being an efficiency man if I can't marry tiie girl I choose?” Superstition of Ninth Wave. An idea lias long existed that the । ninth ocean wave is always more pow- । eri til. than tiie eight preceding ones. Ihis belief existed in’ Ovids time, which was before tiie birth of Christ. The fishermen of England speak of tills wave as the “death wave." Oth- | < rs claim that the tenth wave is most :to be feared. In Scotland they believed a distempered cow could be cured by being washed In nine surfs, while the fishermen of Iceland say that there are three great waves which follow In succession, in which it is highly dangerous to launch boats. A legend of St. Patrick says the waves are caused by serpents which the । saint inclosed in a box when he east them out of Ireland. The mystic numtiers 3, 9 and 10 seem to have been generally used in connection with the explanation of things among the ancients which were not easily underStOI 111. Lohengrin. Lohengrin, the knight of Swan, la the hero of medieval German romances and of one of Wagners mu- ‘ sic dramas. In the drama the Princess Elsa <>f Brabant is falsely accused of the murder of her brother, by her guardian. Count Tclntniund. । and bis wife. Orstrund. In response to her prayer, Lohengrin, who is a knigbt of the Holy Grail and a son of Parsifal, comes in a boat, drawn by a swan, to champion her cause. His i one stipulation is that Elsa sliall not ask tils name. He tights and ilefeats Telramund and marries Elsa. Her foes, by trickery, induce her to break her promise. Lohengrin reluctantly tells his name and ’.lie swan appears to carry him otY. The swan, who is Elsa's brother, changes to ids original' form, and a dove descends and bears Lohengrin away in the boat, Elsa fainting as lie disappears. When Critics Run Amuck. Scholarly books have been dispraised because they were not exciting; tine novels have been sneered nt because they were hard to read; cheap stories have been proclaimed great because they wore a pretense of seriousl ness; sentimentality lias been welcomed because it was warm hearted; i indecency has been condemned for im- ; morality; immorality lias slipped through as romance; daring lias been 'mistaken for novelty; painstaking | dullness, for careful art ; self-revela-I tion. for world knowledge; pretty writing, for literature; violence, for strength; and warped and unhealthy egotism for the wise sincerity which is the soul of literature. —Henry Seide[ Canby in tiie North American Review.

• longer, resist the lure of the paradox by which those direct and simple forms 1 of expression, remolded with sensitive I appreciation, begin to minister to the aesthetics of our own vigorous but ' complex civilization. For are we not passing surely, if silently, from the age in which a multiplicity of mechanical processes are mystified and confused into a healthier period, where i the result rather than tin* media concerns us? In costumes, in drama, in architecture, no less than in pictorial expression, our mo<>d is toward the effect uneomplexed with meaningless j detail. In this spirit our past, or rather, the artistic past of this hemisphere. takes on st new and deeper significance, and our debt of gratitude increases toward the artist and the scientist whose joint efforts have furnished ns with so rich a body of inspirational material. When we come to the appreciation that can include and absorb these arts we will have come to a suflicient understanding to use them with discretion.

When Baby Complains. T’HERE ARE MANY WAYS a baby has of expressing any pain or Irregularity * or digression from its normal condition of health and happiness. A short sharp cry, a prolonged irritated cry. Restlessness, a constant turning of the head, or of the whole body, fretful. In these and other ways a baby tells you there is something wrong. Most mothers know that a disordered stomach, or bowels that do not act naturally are the cause of most of baby’s sufferings. A call for the doctor is the first thought, but in the event of any delay there should be ready at hand a safe remedy such as Fletcher’s Castoria. Castoria has been used for baby’s ailments for over 30 years and has merited the good will of the family physician in a measure not equaled by any other baby’s medicine because of its harmlessness and the good results achieved. And remember this: Castoria is essentially a baby’s remedy and not a cureall for every member of the family. What might help you is too often dangerous when given to a babe.

Asleep for Four Years. In certain parts of the African desert, where It is too hot for any plants to grow, tbe ground is in places thickly covered with white snails. In 1918 a naturalist traveling through this region collected some of the shells from a spot on which it was believed no rain had fallen for five ’ years. These snails’ shells were packed away and left untouched until this year. 1922, when the naturalist, at home once more, rnpacked his shells and placed them in a basin of water to be cleaned.

Cellar Is Safe. Accident statistics show that the safest place to be to avoid the possibility of accident is in a bed in the cellar of your home. Next to that the safest place is a Pullman or other steel car on a railroad train. So say the I accident insurance companies. A passenger in an ordinary railroad car Is much safer than at home, because ha is sitting still and few things can happen to him. If he is in a Pullman, and there is a collision, other cars may be smashed, but his own vehicle, being of steel and enormously heavy, will likely escape serious injury. Hard to Catch Up.
