we should acknowledge the kindness
of Divine Providence in arranging
aeons and aeons ago to have Skunk
creek run along the edge of our lovely
and beautiful little city, so that it is
unnecessary for us to drive our COWS
far to water. 1t was divinely ordained
long before the corner stone of the
first Babylonian post office or Masonic
temple had been laid that town was
some day to spring up on the banks
of Skunk creek. We have kept the
faith. Our heritage is unspotted. We
have nobly set our heels upon the neck
of tyranny, and the only red light in
our midst is the one at the railroad
switch.
LET us then give thanks and pray
for help to walk bravely and uprightly
where the boards happen to be loose
in our sidewalks so that our shins may
be unskun as we blithely tread the
path of life through and across the
twelve months to come.

shadow lace, makes the body of the
collar and f1schu as rule.
Plaitings are usually Of net and are
unhemmed on many of the fischues.
The finest and ARREST Of machine made
laces, as white as snow, in shadow lace
and other patterns, make it possible
to produce these neck-pieces at trihe
of cost.
For wear with either dresses or
coats the sailor collar with fischu ends
is made in the designs pictured here.
Plain fine net is liked for edging the
all-over lace. 1t is used as a fiat bind
ing in place of hem and the addition
of fine cord of silk make an elegant
finish at the top of the binding.
Little buttons, nearly always cover
ed with silk, are liked on neckwear
and they appear in all the designs.
Two jabots with silk turnover col
| lars are handsome designs for older
women. These collars are boned at
the sides and often adorned with small
sparkling rhinestone buttons or silk
covered buttons matching the collar.
Laces and nets are used for the jabots
and when very sheer the plaitings are
made double-that is, one falling over
another, as shown in the picture.
High, close-1tting collars of net and
lace are liked by young people. They
are easy to make and small bit OF

How glad you are the curse

When you ought to raise
Your voice in praise.

To the skies,
And see,
Gratefully,
In the sunlight, in the starlight.
In the earth and in the air.
More Of gladness
Than of badness,
And some goodness everywhere.

In your little scale the treasure.
And should call It short, when you
Missed what you had thought your due!
Say,
That's no way
To observe the day.
Shake yourself loose
From yourself for awhile,
Look upward not downward
TO catch the Lords smile;
You will catchi it, don't fear;
It is there. and its light,

Make day out Of night.

But II Is not only battleshps that will

bombs, which the war departments Of
more than one nation are now expert

be judged from the facts that have 10.
Gently come TO light concerning the pur-
chase by a government. supposed to be
that Of Germany, OF a quantity OF aerial
projectiles. manufactured In England and
known as the Marten-Hale bombs. A
description OF these bombs Is not cal
culated to encourage those who have
heretofore been disposed to look upon
aerial warfare as the mere dream of en-.
thusiasts and romance writers.
The bombs In question are twenty-one
inches long. five inches in greatest dia.
meter. weigh twenty pounds. and contain
about four and a half pounds OF ex-
plosive drinthotoluoD. and $40 little
round steel bullets. which are scattered in
every direction by the explosion OF the

utterly untenable unless strongly defended
overhead. For blowing up bridges and
covered magazines. and for the destruc-
tion OF cruisers and battleships another
model OF the same bomb has been pre-
pared. charged with about seven pounds
OF high explosive.
The bombs can be launched by hand or
by means OF a short torpedo tube, which,
experiments have shown. gives an unex-
pected sureness OF aim. The aviator. hav-
ing sighted his intended victim and OBJ
tanned a good position over IL out OF reach

bomb, and then sends II on It's way. AS
Il falls, two little wings near the handle
begin 20 revolve under the action OF the
| air, thus unscrewing a catch which, while
in position, prevents an accidental eN-
plosion. When the catch has been I'M
screwed the bomb will explode the instant
II strikes any object, even the surface OF
the water. The turns OF the screw,
actuated by the little wings. are so num-
bered that the bomb must fall at least
25O or 800 feet before the mechanism of
explosion is released, and thus the aviator
is protected against an accidental ex,
plosion occurring before the bomb has got
a safe distance away from him.
