SOLDIERS ARE POORLY Pa!D
Men Who Fight Ir Greek Army Have .
Imposing Titles, but Draw Small
Salaries.

Aside from fighting the Turk, about
all that commends commission in the
Greek army is the length of the titles
borne by the officers. The pay Is far
less imposing. an average American
workingman making more in year
than Greek captain.
In Greece the minister of war re-
eeives an annual salary Of $500, Just
500 mere than is paid a second lieu
tenant in the United States army. A
brigad!er general Is called u Eypos-
trategos and draws $1,416. The same
grade in this country carries a salary
of $6,0G0 -
A colonel IS called syntagmatarchis
and is paid s1,392, against the $4,000
an American colonel gets. A lieu
tenant-colonel 1abors under the name
of an antisyntagrnatarchis, for which
he is paid scant s1,172. An officer
Of the same rank in the United States
army receives $500. A major,
known as tagmatarchis, is Pkid ST.
O56, whereas here he would get $4,000.
Grades in the line are much less.

can OF similar rank receives S2,400.

Mrs. Cynthia Westover Allen. presi-
dent Of the International Sunshine
society, was the first person to public
ly ask permission to take blind babies
out of the homes for detectives and to
try to have them brought up In homes

Up On the Roof.

Peop'e in Los Angeles didn't love
the cat that got in the organs works
Especially the organist didn't. Bat
away at the other side Of the contin-
ent half town was troubled about tho
welfare of n cat.
1t was in Pawtucket, r. I. A cat
had been chased by a dog or boy
or maybe it's own fears and had
crawled out Of an attic window to the
roof of the house. Then, as often hap
pens, it was afraid to try the descent.
1t howled and was miserable, and tho
police were called and could do moth
ing. They had to call in the fire de-
partmept after two days, and the fire.
men put up their ladders to the roof
and rescued the cat, who was not in
the least grateful.

PRAYER Of MODERN WOMEN
Inex Haynes GIIlmcrc Gives It New
Expression That Makes Food
for Thought.

Lord, we have come out of the
dark and the quiet and the calm of
the past into the dazzle and the noise
and the hurry Of the present. But
yesterday we lived inside four sealed
walls, the hearth our earth, the fam
lily our world. Today the door and the
window have swung wide and we
gaze out. The earth lies before US.
Thy world encompasses u.s.
These are the opening sentences Of
THE Prayer Of the Women" by Inez
Haynes Gilmore in IIarper's Bazar.
In 1t are also the following:
1--WE thank thee that We were born
In this day.
Help US to give back to the chill
dren who toll all the tender love and
all the fairy lore OF their lost child
hood; its green fields and sweet wa
ters, its bright flowers and blue skies,
Its soft winds and warm sunshine,
its golden sands and changing seas.
Help us to give back to the wom-
en- who sin all the love and honor Of
their lost womanhood, its gaiety and
security, its helpfulness and happiness
and peace.
Help us to open the hearts of all
good women to their new duty.
Help us to make easy the way of
the working woman.
Help us to point out new paths Of
service to the idle women"

ALL SHOULD MARRY YOUNG
Eliot Of Harvard GIvcs the Com
Ing Generation.

Doctor Eliot of Harvard dec!area>
that postponed marriage Is a great
modern evil in educated society. Hi
belief is given in full in Harper's
Bazaar, cheerful message to the
coming generation, in the course OF
which he says: "You will hear some
young man say: I cannot invite a
girl, who has been brought UP to dd
nothing for herself, and to have every
luxury provided for her, to marry mel
until can earn an income which
will enable her to live with me in that
way. have two remarks to make
about that doctrine-that If girl has
been brought up in that manner, the
sooner she has chance to live DIFF:
ferently the better for her; and, Sec
ondly, that it is only fair for young
man who loves young woman to con-.
suit whether or not she wishes to
marry him before he can earn large
income.
"The young woman has a clear
right to say word on that subject
to tho man she loves and not to be
obliged to wait till he is thirty-tive
years old before he asks her to marrya
him. This is matter OF looking
ahead at critical point in your lives.
You are not in the habit, perhaps, Of
contemplating this event of marriage.
1t would be wiser to do SO. Tho
sooner you begin to think abou: 1t the
better-first, because It will be think
ing about the most Important event ofe.
your lives in respect to the develop
fnent Of your own characters and to
the happiness not only to yourselves,
but of the women you VIII marry,
and>of the family life which will nor
mally result" q

Latest In Hosiery and Shoes,

New ideas in hosiery and in shoes
are constantly appearing. Despite
the protests Of medical men. stockings
are still cobwebby. The latest idea
appears to be the netted silken hosi-
cry, which, when drawn on the foot,
have the appearance of a fish scale.
TO throw the mesh into high relief, an
understanding Of very fine silk Is worn
white If the upper hose be black.

Eitts-y~N

The Balkan turmoil Is stirring our
historical and geographical memories.
Fer thousand years or go no one has
thought much OF Durazzo. But it was
a famous port when the Romans called
1t Dyrrachium. It was the nearest
point across from Brundusium-which
is now Brindisi-and was chosen by
Cicero as his place of pleasant exile,
just as Boulogne is regarded from
this side OF the channel. In fact,
Brundusium and Dyrrachium were the
Dover and Calais Of the Romans, and
now once more Durazzo Is springing
into Importance.

"TayIor" Day In the Rifles.

F company, First Kings Royal
Rifles, became nsted in Pietermaritz-
burg as the Taylor" company, having
no fewer than seven Taylors in Its
ranks-probably a record for any COM
pany in the army. On the outbreak
Of the Bocr war they were ordered to
Dundee, Natal, and their first conflict
with the Dutchmen occurred at Glen
Gee. The casualty list that night
read as follows:
Lieutenant Taylor, killed; Color
Sergeant Taylor, severely wounded;
Sergeant Taylor. killed; Corporal Tay-
lor killed: Bandsman Taylor, severe
ly wounded; Pioneer Taylor, severely
wounded; Private Taylor, killed"
Truly sorry day for the Taylors.-

Still, It Seemed Warm.
A Cherryvale merchant came home
from the breeze Of an electric fan and
three iced cakes last night and said
peevishly to his wife: "You can GER
tainly get this house gcod and warm.
What do you do to do it," And the
wife replied meek!y, us she pushed
back the few struggling hairs and
nailed them In place with grinning
wire batpin: II don't see why it is
hot; l put a ham On to bell at six
o'clock this morning and baked bread,
and did u little ironing, and while I
had the oven hot I baked batch Of
cookies and couple of pies and heat

REPRESENTATIVES, OF Southern Cotton
Exchanges Meot with officials Of

cusa Matter.

Washington, Oct. 2S.--Many repre-
sentatives Of Southern cotton ex-
changes today conferred with officials
Of the department OF agriculture re-
aardins the Standardization of Amer
lean Erades OF cotton to conform with
the Liverpool revised grad>s, which
become effective next September.
The conference was the outgrowth
az the meeting at Memphis last jan
usry and the convention at Liverpool
last June. at which 1t was determined
by the representatives Of nearly all
the American cotton exchanges to ef-
feet international standard cotton,
grades
AT the conference today w. C. Law
son. president Of the Waco cotton ex-
change. told the government officials
that the alteration in American cot
ton, grades would be more apparent
than real. because the revised Liver
pool grades practically conform with
the government grades except In
name only.
He pointed out the advisability of
ming standard grades, declaring that
II would simplify the marketing OF
American cotton In foreign markets.
He said. In his opinion. and those
OF his associates. all the American ex-
changes would follow the exa mple of
the government and adopt the new
uniform grades
After the conference. DR.. N. A.
Cobb. OF the bureau OF plant Indus
try. said the changes desired would
not Affect tho grades established by
the department Of agriculture. and
that he believed the changes would
b made.
He declared that the conference
had not discussed the question OF ex-
ecution because the adoption Of the
revised grades by the American ex-
changes would render this unneces-
sary.
Neither. he said. were prices or the
question OF tar on cotton futures
