The sword, which has had so long
and so distinguished military record
has been placed on the retired list.
British army authorities have decided
that in the future unmounted officers
shall carry carbines instead of swords
during manoeuvers and in active serv-
ice. The decision is the result of ex-
perience gained in the war in South
Africa. The sword is not only use
less as a weapon, except in close
quarters, but it serves as mark to
distinguish the officer from his men.
He thus becomes target for the en-
emy's sharpshooters. and when the
private soldiers have small power of
initiative, as is the case in most Euro
pean armies, the loss of large num-
Der of officers may mean disaster. The
passing of the sword is one of the
signs of the changed conditions Of
war.

An automobile savings bank is the
latest French novelty. The authorities
of Mezieres, wishing to encourage
thrift among the peasants, have had
1t built to specifications. 1t is an cleo
trio motor-car containing four seats,
one for the driver and three in the
rear arranged arounu small table.
Folding shelves make a convenient
desk for person standing beside the
venicle. Under the table is a small
safe. The passengers are two clerks
from the local treasury department
and a cashier. The car travels about
the country, making short stops in the
villages on prearranged days, and re.
ceiving such sums as the citizens or
farmers of the neighborhood may wish
to deposit. So far, however, the inno-
walton mas met little encouragement.

The head of the lace department in

In one apartment house, in order to

she slept on a sofa that opened in the
