Talk about the isolation OF Oar

Germans do not consider themselves
destined to n back seat ON the car of
progress. In the nge Of expansion
they naturally give the word Germany
a range to include NIL territory where

The "Darned Old Wooden Sock
is the title of one of the most
popular books on this season S
market. 1t treats of the sad life
led by stray flea who climbed
into a pair of socks to shelter him
self from the winters cold. 1t
tells of his happy dreams as he in
nocently slumbered and then the
sad ending recounts how he became
smothered when the socks came
into use. The story is very pathetic
aud alter reading it one probably
would think twice before wearing
socks.
