Evywhere the meetings have been wideattended and have produced peranent organizations determined to tter the country roads of the sec>n concerned. Mr. Martin Dodge, director of the ofe of public road Inquiries in the agiiiltural department, and M. O. Elldge, his assistant, with Mr. W.

"It was splendid," she exclaimed, her checks aglow and her eyes bright with ex(I citoment. "Seven courses?not counting . the oyster cocktail to begin with?and I never made a misstroke with fork or knife, S and there was no end of brand new implements too. I came near making a terrible miscue, though, with the oyster cocktail. You sec, the dining room was rather dark, being lighted only with pink shaded candles, and in .the gloom the cocktail looked ? just like a sherbet. I couldn't imagine, of courso, what a sherbet was doing there at that time, but it was not mine to reason why, and so I plunged boldly in, resolved ;e to do or die with the first weapon that seemed at all fitted to moot the sherbet "" emergency, and I came dreadfully near ?o e dying with mortification. For a fraction of a second . I Hesitated, octwcen a lcng, ? slim handled spoon and a short, fat, gold >r lined one, and then, with what I considered marvelous forethought, I decided the long, slim handled one could better be spared for futuro contingencies and sclect'3r 2d the short, fat one. And I was just tot.j. tering on the brink of that oocktail with it in my fingers when I looked up and bee. held the hostess eating herewith an oyster fork. My arm actually was palsied, I waa IS 60 stunned, and I had great difficulty In making anything like my usual dexterous , 'lightning change.' I didn't fully recover >S from the shock until well Into the soup. ... ''But the best part of tho luncheon, aft* er all, was that there was another countiy 0 relation there besides myself. She sat right opposite me, poor thing, and I just gloated H over her misery. If anything, she was .. more of a freshman than I because she had not been graduated from the waiting to eee what others do stage, and with oaoh new course placed before her I could see 5S tho terrible mcntrfl struggle that was go. ing on and knew ju6t how her mind was being torn with doubts between the long ;e tlned fork for the entree and the short thin one for the salad. Oh, It wm pitiful u the way her poor little country relation fingers trembled over the knives and forki and spoons. I knew she felt just the way you do when you watch the dentist hunt_ lng around among his tools for some new Instrument to tortura you with.

Ihere Arc Three OperfttUu ltp Which It May Be Made. llonry Souther said at a recent meetlna of the National Association of Mechanical Engineers that the scientific and technical designation of a tube, whether seamed of seamless, depended solely upon the tub# Itself and not upon the process followed In its manufacture. Referring to the dlo* tionary you will find that the word "seam* Less" means without seam, whioh conveys no light upon the subject. Turning totha word "seam," It Is found that it la defined as a joint, suture, or line of union, and hen in the last term we find the key. A tuba jointed in any way cannot be seamless. U in tho primary stages of Its manufacture It be lap, butt or lock jointed, It oannot by any subsequent operation be deprived of the seam and therefore cannot be considered when completed as being seamless. A strictly seamless tube may be made by any one of three operations?first, m billet may be by successive steps punched into the form of a tube with extremal?

Each and all of these processes yield a tube which Is absolutely seamless and , about which there is and can be no dispute. In all tubes formed with a seam the edges have first been separated, then united, either by lap or butt weld or by tome lock joint system, and in these the joint cannot be eliminated by any aft?J processes. The custom houses of thl United States recognize the difference b* tween a seam and a seamless tube. A seamless tube is one In which the wall! have never been separated from the tlms the metal was in a molten condition to thi time of the completion of the tube.?Iroa Age. 4 Spanklag C?mrlets.
