Love’s Embers Adele Garrison’s A bsorbing Sequel to “Revelations of a Wife” Beginning a New Ser; Eleanor Lincoin Temporarily Takes possession of the Dog Eleanor Lincoln wasted no time in carrying out her announced in- tention of taking the wolfhound, Fedor, to the car of the young man in whose charge he had been. She sprang lightly to the ground before either Noel Veritzen or young Jack- son could assist her, and the dog rose expectantly as she turned back to him and put her hand fearless- Iy upon his collar “Is that safe?" anxiously, but I did not ccho the query even mentally. 1 was con- vinced that the magnificent wolf- hound had heen the personal prop- erty of the girl at whom he was gazing adoringly. To me, the at- tempted snapping of the dog at the summoning hand of the young man who ealled himself “George l.osan Jackson,” and the absolute control | over the animal which Miss Lincoln had evidenced were sufficient proof of har ownership. “Perfectly safe,” Miss Lincoln an- swered, and T wondered if Mary caught the patronizing inflection in her tone, one which subtly relegated my husband’s young nicce fo the ranks of timorous school girls. “I never had a dog snap at me in my life,” the young mistress of The Larches went on, and I knew, some- how that the spoke only the fruth “And T never saw one which would | not obey me whether T owned it or | not.” I found it harder to helieve this | embroidering of her first assertion.

Frequently he blinks without any apparent stimulation. Two British physiologists, Drs. Ponder and Kennedy, decided to find out whether blinking is auto- matic or voluntary and to study the various conditions which bring blinking about. Apparently blinking is not de- pendent on the perception of light, they found, although a sud- den fllumination may produce a instead, every has a normal blinking stimull. The rate is more rapid when the eyes are fixed on a near point than when they are looking at a distance, Each blinking movement is as- sociated with the movement of If a person tries to hold the eyes without blinking, he will find in from ten to twenty seconds an almost uncontrollable desire to blink. At this time, it he will alter the position of his eyes and look elsewhere, he may avoid the blinking movement. Irritation of the eye, as In smoking, increases the blinking rate as does also stimulation of the ring. Whereas the ~verage man will blink every twé and a half seconds, if he becomes angry he is likely to blink every second.

The study brought out a con- siderable difference between men and women. It is generally known that the attention of women fis more introspective and not so well fixed as that of men.

A state of abstraction or of blankness of mind is associated with a slow rate of blinking. A state of mental tension without an external outlet is accompanied by a rapid blinking rate. of blinking SUITS BROUGHT Suit for $125 damages has been brought by Rackliffe Bros.

MANNING (Washington Bureau of the N. B. Heraldy Washington, D. C., Aug. 10.—De- spite the fact that American smok- | ers increased their consumption of | tobacco from 5.97 pounds per capita in 1925 to 6.02 pounds in 1926, the | United States tobacco industry is | threatened with overproduction, ac- cording to the Commerce Yearbook issued by the United States Depart- ment of Commerce today. Domestic consumption and ex ports, both of which are increasing, although shifting from one kind of tobacco to another, are not increas- ing sufficiently to take care of the increase in production, the Com- | merce Department declares. Crop Lower The crop last year, however, was four per cent lower than that of the previous year, while more than §9,- 000,000,000 cigarettes were manu- factured last year as compared with | $2,000,000,000 in 1925. The con- sumption of cigarettes has increased 42 per cent since 1922, while leaf tobacco used in the manufacture of cigars, tobacco, and snuff declined | about seven per cent during the period. Tobacco ranks next to the income tax as a source of revenue for th federal government, and cigarette users paid nearly two-thirds of the total of $409,754,000 paid in tobac- co taxes last year. This is an ave age of $3.49 per capita paid in to- | bacco taxes. China and England are the most important foreign markets for American tobacco, England ranking first in the amount bought, but showing a decline of ahout one- eighth last year, while China in- creased its purchase of American cigarettes by 28 per cent last vear. | England bought 150,000,000 pounds | of American tobacco, and China bought $6,000,000 pounds, | Exports to Great Britain hznfl‘ fallen because British colonies are | producing large quantities of tobac- co.
