I New Uses for Laminated Woods

The present-day penchant of manufacturers and others for substitutes

utilizing small lumber stock, lluseball bats are among the articles which
have been experimented on. In practically every Instance the products made
from this material lmve given as good service as those made In the regular

American Musicians Are

a little anxiety for the peace future
of warrior musicians. How would the
delicate mechanism of their pwychol
ogy be affected by an activity so pow
erful and so far from their normal
desires?
Home musicians like David Hoch
steln, the young vlollulst who lost hla
life In the Argoune, will never return.
But unassuming numbers of them
have taken their places again In the
ranks of players. One inuy hear them
In the theater orchestra. Tliey are
placing In tho cabaret Jurr. band, con

life which wus so enthralling to them
before the war. It may bo a bit stnlo
to them now. But the reaction will
soon set In, ha* already come to muuy
who have lost the llrst restless crov-

their return from the front.

FEW LEAVE WILLS

Is Not General.,
Man Who Ha* Only a Small Eatate to
Leave la the Most Apt to Think
That a Legal Document
la Not Necessary.
There lire two reason* why people
| put off (hi! making of a will. In the
llrst place, n* Cicero long 11 K«> pointed
out, "no one Is ho old n* to think
that lie may not live u year." Klt
lie winter, the average man, of «my
age, IN mire that he will carry on to
nee the robin* return and to breathe
fresh life with the spring; «nd In
summer he kmiWs full well that he I*
not destined to pa** out until he hiss
harvested till* year'* garden crop. It
wa* no In Cicero's time; It I* today.
Ilenth l» never Imminent; we take a
day off to the funeral of the
man whose desk wa* next trt our* In
the office, anil returning from the win-
SHery we say to our*elves: "I ought
to put my affair* 111 shape *o that my
wife will be all right In case anything
ahould happen to me." But we do not
do It. "I'm right In the midst of
thing* now," we say, "In another ten
year* I'll have something worth writ
ing down In a will. Then I'll want to
think the mntter over carefully and ar
range a fair division between my wife
and the children and the relatives;
but It'* hardly worth while troubling
about now." The man In the Scrip
tures Is typlnil of most of u*.
"Thing* are going well with me," he
said In effect. "I will pull down my
b*rn* and build greater." And that
night hi* soul wa* required of him.
Anil the second reason why will
making I* not popnlur I* because there
I* a general lmpre*slou that a will I*
a luxury for the rich. It Is expected
that Mr. Million, when he die*, will
leave 111* e*tate carefully guarded by
a long legal document; but the man
who has nothing but a house and lot
and fSOO In the bank assume* that It
Isn't enough to bother the'court about.
So he dies, and hi* wife, who might,
under a proper will, have entered Into
the enjoyment of hi* estate at once,
with very little legal ffirmallty, find*
herself compelled to give bond*, and
go through an Immense amount of red
tape; unit I* fortunate If she I* not In
volved 111 a family feud before the ne
gotiation* ~a re completed. Kven If she
cornea through *afely. she has paid
more than *hc can afford. In fee* and
charge*—all of which would have been
largely obviated by n proper will.
The rich man'* estnte will i#nnd It.
There will be enough left for III* heirs
even-after the courts and lawyers nre
through. A will for him I* more or
less of a luxury; but It I* a necessity
to the man of small mean*; and the

Hats for Husbands Only.
Marriage In Korea divide* the men
from the boya In a way that may be
convenient, but that sometime* Is
amusing. No one but a married man
can wear the peculiar high-crowned
hat that Is so characteristic of Korean
dress. One day, writes Mr. Roy C.
Andrews in the National Geographic
Magazine, I noticed a little fellow who
wore a hat and had hla hair knotted
on the top of hla head. He wsa only
a child, and I said to the cook, "la that
little boy really married?"
"Do you mean that man?" the cook
asked, pointing at the child.
I wild, "Yes," and learned ~sat the
little fellow, who was only eleven
years old, had a wife of ten, to whom
he had been legally married. Although
they would continue to live with their
parenU for the next two or three
years, the boy was referred to as a
"man," and bad all the privileges of
» full-grown member of the commu
nity.
Near the "man" was a fellow of
forty-seven, who wore his hair partol
In the middle and hanging In a long
braid down Ills back. Because he was
unmarried, he could not wear a hat
or tie up his hair; no matter what age
he reached, he would always be con
sidered to be a boy. The two were
photographed side by side, to the great
displeasure of the eleven-year-old man.
Feeding a Llama.
A most unhappy fate befell a young
llama that came into the port of New
York on the U. 8. S. Munalres, says a
contributor to the Zoological Society
Bulletin. United States sailors won
the animal at a ball game lu liuenos
Aires, and brought him north with the
Intention of presenting him to the New
York Zoological I'ark. Not realizing
his capacity for food, they failed to
bring enough hay to last until they
reached port, egpeclully since they gen
erously permitted the llama to wander
Into the hay compartment at will and
ent all he wished at each visit. The
hay gave out when the ship was cross
ing the equator, but the llama solved
the dltllculty temporarily by discover
ing several brooms and eating the last
wisp of straw from the handles.
In desperation, the men collected all
the brooms on board and fed them to
the llama. When the brooms were
gone, the animal became demonstra
tive, but he refused every substitute
until they offered liltu dried prunes.'
On that diet he urrlved In New York
alive and apparently well, but during a
sudden cold spell he developed bron
chial troubles, and Anally died of
pneumonia.

city when It was considered desirable
that "sen-ants be obliged to go to bed
before the householder, and not be per
mitted to carry a lighted candle to a
bedroom In the garret." The recom
mendation was made at one of the so
ciety's earliest meetings, but seem*' not
to have been carried Into effect; one
may Imagine tlmt even so far back
there was a "domestic service problem"
sufficiently defined to make the aver
