Impossible News Gatherers

T ipil thc 4NtW ioih
 It was not until after the great war correspondent McGahan, Russell Forbes and their contemporaries had passed from the scene that novels of this peculiar school appeared. The old fashioned news gatherer would cut a sorry figure in fic- tion as compared with the dashing and brilliant young hero of the romances.
 The type never changes. Smooth shaven, hawk-eyed. a pistol holster strapped to one side-usually the wrong one-and field glasses on the other, and clad in a costume of a sort never worn by anyone else, the war correspondent of fiction Is indeed a remarkable figure He travels at great speed, runs up vast bills of expenses unrebuked by his em- ployer is welcomed to the most eXclu- sive circles of European society and con- suited by kings and prime ministers. It is foolhardy to declare war without ask ing his advice. In time of peace he is usually to be found in a Parisian cafe sipping mild drinks and foreseeng war. His career has 6 powerful appeal for the vast army of young men in and out of college who desire to follow strictly ornamental profession at high pay.
 The two poles are not further apart than are the war correspondent Of fic- ton and the hard working news gatherer who attends strictly to his difficult and dangerous business.

From obser- vAtions at Arequipa (s00o feet) and Vilicocaya (14,000) feet Prof. s. I. Bailey pronounced the last statement incorrect.

Need Vacation Every Day

From the Los Angeles Herald
 Now that the summer vacation period is al hand, it is not to be expected that many persons who are looking forward to vacation time will agree with anybody who declares that vacations are unneces- sary and worse than useless. Ebert Hubbard, as an exponent of American philosophy, does not say that exactly, but
 Here are some of the things he does say in his publication, the Fra, about vacations and the men and women who take them. After giving two reasons why all employees should have vacations, so tha. the employers can see how easily anybody and every Ybody's place can be filled, and so that the employe can see when he returns how well he can be spared since things go right along with out him, Philosopher Hubbard continues thuswise:
 ''As a matter of recuperation the yaca- ton does not recuperate, since as a rule, no man needs a vacation so much as the persons who has just had one. The man who is so run down that he needs q vacation can never adjust or reform him. self in two weeks. To work during the year at so rapid pace that in August
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-07-23

ones vitality is exhausted and a rest de- manded Is rank folly.
 What we all need is enough vacation every day so that we can face each morning with health sufficient to do our work in gladness. That is to say, we need enough of a play spell every day to keep us in good physical condition. The man who is done up and Jagged out has not found his work. And the man who lives during the year in antic- ipation of vacation does not deserve one, for he has not ascertained that 1t Is work, and not vacations, that makes life endurable.
 'If you have reached a point where you cannot do good work you cannot enjoy your vacation. If you absolutely need a vacation you are not in the mood to en- joy it, because it is thrust upon you by necessity, willy-nilly. Things forced upon us are never pleasant.
 The only man who can really enjoy an outing Is the man who does not need it. And the man who keeps his system so strong and well balanced that he does not need q vacation is the one who will eventually marry the proprietors daughter and have his name on the l sign.'

Poison Ivy
From the woman's World.

From the Woman's World.
 The safeguard against poison ivy is to learn it before you touch it. It differs from the harmless Virginia creeper which it so closely resembles, in the number of leaves. The poison ivy has only three leaves while the other has five.
 At first there are clusters of minute pimples, changing the next day to blis- ters, with intense itching, and sur rounded with vivid red, lasting from five to 10 days.
 Washing the parts with great dea. of common cheap laundry soap has good results. Lime water or soda and water relieves. It protects the surface and prevents itching Poisoned wounds from stings, and bites from bees and bugs are slight injuries unless rrita ting substances are carried in with the bite When the skin around the bite turns black and blue, or has small hlisters call a doctor. Apply cold compresse; and zinc ointment for the alleviation oi the trouble.

'sbuD" MARS CRASHING TO EARTH

[. Bud" Mars, who was seriously hurt Iby fall while flying at Erie, Pa, on July IA, continues to improve and there gre strong hopes for his complete recoy- jcry. His wife, who witnessed his plunge into the canvas screen which fanked the flying field, has been with the injured aviator continuously since the accident.
 The aviator has no very clear idea of just what caused the plunge which so nearly cost him his life.
