' It l? W yewr* since ths #n?t ojl well
wos drilled In Pennsylvania, thus In
augurating tlie era of oil. The dlscov?
erj' v\ ,is at 0?Cf recognizedas imsscss
Ing great value. but there could have
biH-ii but a slight appreciation of the
mammoth proportions to whlcb the In
dustry was destined-to grow. I f a 11 ?m t
?s an llluuiinant supplanting mudles
MIHj whale oil, (ho buslnetta has
widened beyond any possible dream*
of those who were active In the early
days of ull. 'A'be center of the Industry
lias long since departed from the place
of lt? origin. The southwest and the
pacific coast, almost unknown lands in
the infancy of the business, now pro
duce thousands of barrels to the orig
inal oil region's one. Oil is still ufced
is an lllumlnant on millions of farms
and In Isolatod places all over the
world, but that Is no longer the chlof
product of crude. Gasoline, at first a
troublesome by-product, Is now the
main result sought. The millions of
motor driven vehicles' that have come
Into existence In the past score of
years would not have been possible
had we not had this desirable product
to provide an explosive to drive them.
Vast quantities of |Khe crude product
ire used to drive locomotives and
iblps. The war might not have been
won had not the allies had access t0
the fields of Mexico and the United
Btates. And not only' as fuel does the
greasy product enter Into the world's
commerce, but as a lubricant It lesseua
the friction of bearings, from the sew
ing machines to steamships. The by
woduets even enter the realms of med
clne, and while the limit would seem
to be reached In utilizing the waste
from the refineries, It Is possible that
tarther subdivisions may yet increase
[he number. The story of oil Is a ro
mance that equals the tale of steel,

Indomitable Cheerfulness.
That fl ninn can remain cheerful
:houj:h Imprisoned for a crime he did
101 commit is proved by some of the
ctters that Mr. O. Henry wrote to his
ittlc girl while he was serving his
lajust sentence. They are quoted In
Jio Boston Globe.
Hollo. Margaret 1" says one playful
nlssive. "Don't you remember me?
Hy name Is Aldiberontiphostlphornko

lay my name 17 times beforo It goes

rack of the first blue cow's foot you

Again he wrote: "I hope your watch
uns all right. When you write again
o sure to look at It and tell me what
Ime It is, so I won't have to get up
nd look , at the clock."* And In an
ther note: "Be careful when you are

ie noses of electric car horses."

Doctor Moore explained the arraca

Dasheens, cooked In cream, taste
ke cauliflower, and when baked have
flnvor of a roasted chestnut. Doc
kr Moore amplified. They are related
f the Egyptian taro, commonly refer
W to as the "elephant ear," Doctor
loore said.
'The announcement was made to del

Pr Ar^ld K. Henry of Dublin, who

I'nitpic War Itonutiicc Muds Happily.
A ival international romance has c?unc
out the war, aud, unfortunately, has
Vready gained ?u<4? wide publicity that
it would ,? legitimate subject (or
comment. Among the American soldiers
stationed at one of the British flying
Helda during the war was a young Hal*
timorean named l'erley Spiker, who had
left a young wife at home when he went
abroad. While in the aviation camp he
met an English girl who was in <tho war
work of her country and was thus thrown
info daily contact with the flyer*. l*ro
lunquity and almost constant association
wrought their natural and all too fre
quent result, and when Hpiker returned
home the English girl (became the mother
of a tx>y child. When Sjxiker's wife
learned of the situation sin* magnani
mously seat for the English girl and
hhr babe, invited them to come to this
country and make their home with the
Hpjkers. Such magnanimity and Immun
ity (roui Jealousy and such charitable
judgment of the errant JiuNbund are rare
and beautiful and have operated to make
Mrs. Spiker the real heroine in this un
usual human triangle.
It might have proved embarrassing,
however, certnnly to Spiker, to have his
English girl and his own babe living
in the house:with him and his American
wife, but the romance has been com
pleted by the appearance of Spiker's
brother, <Juy, on the scene and his eager
offer of marriage to 'his 'brother1# English
^hveetlieart, which she has kindly accept
ed. The outcome of the whole affair was
the marriage of the brother to the girl,
who is the mother of l'erley Spiker's
babe, with the wife <>f the unfaithful
husband as fairy godmother whose gen
erosity and' forgiveness have made this
happy eventuation of the war romance
possible.
It is pleasing 'to note, this idyllic story
and h1m? the relaxation of that mufor*
KivliiK alUtudo of the public toward a
woman who makes ?uch sacritlcca for her
Vove. Tliis changed altitude* of society
ami this greater tolernnoo toward a wo
man who violate# the aooial law art*

among the desirable re?uu? of the war
add tho coiidltiuna it produced, After
all, humanity is or was too inhumane and
unforgiving toward a woman who violates
the <niono^ramiv law ret'oguUed by (heat
Britain and thin -country* How- much
hotter that this young woman should l>e
forgiven for her natural human weakliest*
anil gJven a(chance, to live happily, as a
respected wife than that she .should be
forced to become an outcast and .'be sub

uo hotter than nIh- Lb, hut if the wife
of lVrley .Spike r in the real hofoiue of

at least shown the good. ta?te to remain
