HIS ' TIME ALL TOO SHORT Dying Profiteer Could Not Make Com- plete Confession of Iniquity in One Brief Day. Armin W. Riley, head of the “fiying squadron” ‘that hunts down profiteers for the department of justice, told a - profiteer story at a \Vnslnugtun Te- ception. “A sick profiteer,” he said, “was told by his physician that he had only a short time to livé. Accordingly, he expressed a desire;to confess his sins, and a dlvine was sent for. “The divine engered the dying prot- iteer's chamber ‘and the door was closed. An hour, two hours, three hours passed. Nothing was to be heard by the attendant nurses and physi- cians outside in the corridor save the steady, monotonous’flow of the prof- iteer’s confession, punctured nt‘bljef intervals by exclamations , of horror and indignation on the part of the divine, “Lunch was sent into the sickroom, and the confession went on. The af- ternoon waned. The sun set. Night fell. The divine’s dinner was carried to him. And still the profiteer con- tinued to confess. » “Haggard and-unstrung, the divine Jat last tottered forth at 'daybreak. “‘Our unfortunaté friend, he said, ‘is no more. He worked. very, very hard; but at the . time he passed away he lad only carried his confes- sion through the first year of the wn‘." . COQUETTE SET NEW FASHION Favorite of French Monarch Respon- sible for Coiffure Which Became a Universal Style. . Styles have had queer origins, and none more unique than the fontagne, a style of hair dressing popular in the -early part of the eighteenth century. The dressing consisted largely of do- ing the hair high and binding it in place with a jeweled fillet or ribbon. At one time it was worn by every lady in the ¢ourt of Louis XIV, and from there it spread to all parts of the clv- flized world where fushion reigned. The manner of its origin is this: The king went for a ride one morn- ing with Mile. de Fontagne, a lovely girl with whom the king was madly in love, and who was not cold to his ad- vances. In fact she shortly toek Rer place as his favorite. As they rode, her hair came tumbling down, and there is reason to believe the little com- edy that followed had been staged in In advance, even to the loosening of the pins that allowed her beautiful tresses to escape. At any rate, the lady slipped from her horse, andwith a laugh lifted her skirts and took off a Jewcled garter which she bound around her hastily repiled hair. The king was delighted with the by-play, Aud upon arriving at the palace an- Y“ounced.the mode the most becoming )n the world. Within 24 hours every Roquette and matron in the court had edopted the fashion, ——— Learn From Lazy Man. . . At last some use has been found for a lazy man. The secret was re- vealed by F. B. Gilbreth, an efficiency expert, in a recent lecture before the polytechnic section of the American institute. “When We go to investigate a fac- tory,” he sald, “and wish to find the swiftest worker, we naturally ask to eee the men or girls who have the fattest pay envolopes. “But when we want to see the man who accomplishes a task with the least amount of lost motion, we hunt out the laziest man in the factory. By fnstinct, he learns to do things without loss of motion, otherwise he could not hold his job. “We study that man's movements and take motlon pictures of him in action. Then we show these pictures to the rapld, energetic worker, and by studying them he learns shorter meth- ods and becomes much more efficient at his own work.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Playing at Soldiering. Some Australian Wellington will probably trace a modern Waterloo to the playing fields of Melbourne or Syd- ney. Australia has recognized as the result of her war lessons that intelll- gence, not monotony, is an invaluable test of thé soldier. The old wear- some drill-ground system of training ecadets s fast giving way to the new planl which wmakes a play of work. While the boys are taught discipline and drill they are mainly shown how to play basket ball and to compete in jumping, tug of war and swimming. Those intrusted with the making of a new Australian - army are confident that the best soldier will be the happy, well-traingd sportsman, who has learned to play for his side, to keep his temper and to think intelligently. | There can be little doubt that the: change is keenly appreciated by young Australia.—Christian Science Monitor. it Hugt in Autos in Alaska.

These rodeos are conducted under the auspices of the United States bu- reau of education for natives of Alas- ka, for the ‘advancement of the re'n- deer industry. There are 150,000 rein- deer in the territory, according to Pap-' ular Mechanics Magazine. At the faif all matters pertaining to reindcers are discussed, and the herders come to an understanding re- garding grazing ground rights and sim- ilar matters. . Government represen- tatives give talks on reindeer breed- ing and offer scientific guidance for the development of an improved stock. Recently serious consideration has been given to a means of exporting the growing thousands of surplus deer to the United States. ; Within the pext year or two, it is anticipated, a market for distributing the meat will be established in the United States. It costs less than $3 per head to raise deer, which will dress 130 pounds of choicest meat.
