~TTHE advantage often gained in war

Offset by a German invention of guns
which project searchlights instead of bull
lets. These Illuminating grenades, fired
into the air above where the assaulting
party is supposed to be approaching under
cover of the darkness, remain for some
moments suspended by opening parachute
attachments. During that period each
throws a cone of bright light upon the
earth below

tons have long been in favor to serve
various purposes for example: To steal
march on an enemy and out-manoeuver
him; to avoid the unwelcome observation
of his aerial scouts, planning at lofty alti-
tudes, securely immune from the fire of
terrestrial marksmen: to traverse ground
which offers no cover from the view and
fire of the enemy in daylight: to carry on
an attack commenced before dark and

during the intervening period before the
following dawn reveals ones dispositions,
and, more important than all, to take the
enemy by surprise, and thus enhance the
chances of success tenfold
An assault may be actually delivered
during darkness, but the hazards of such
a proceeding are so great that unless the
conditions of a fire fight with the enemy
have already proved adverse over the same
ground in daylight, or are almost certain
to be so, 1t is usually better to accept the

There is the lion woman, long,
1.-the calm. slumbrous. Such women
have calm, dark eyes, giving the i'm
preston of intense quiet and immense
reserve strength. They are never
chatty, but are fascinating because
inscrutable.
Very unlike her, her antipodes in
appearance and character, is the
tiger woman. She is always of bril-
liant, snowy type. Her eyes are bril-
liant. Her coloring is striking. The
French or Italian blonde, the dark
eyed, fair-haired, fair-complexioned
woman, at whom every one looks as
she passes, is Il tiger woman.
Unlike both, though vaguely sug-
costing them, as a miniature may
suggest a life-Size painting, is the
cat woman She is of the plump,
hearthside sort. She has a gentle
manner and has naturally luxurious
tastes. She seeks the soft places of,
life as cat seeks a cushion. She
finds light and sunshine as a. cat
finds She warm place by the fire.
While often lacking energy, she has
a great deal of womanly charm.
You have all seen the peacock
woman. She is always tall and
usually slender, though she may be
of the ample figure Generally she
is slender enough to be elegant. If
not she tries to starve herself into
thinness. for the peacock woman is
Inevitably vain. She is vainer than
the cat woman. for the cat woman is
so fond of the good things of the
table that sooner or later she per
mits herself to grow fat. The pea.
cock woman's keynote is magnificence.
The fifth variety is the dove
woman. Watch any group of pigeons
and you will recall some woman you
know, round, trim, brisk of move
ment, capable She is as plump as
the cat woman, but more energetic
and of trimmer appearance.

- VERY woman resembles a Ger
tain animal and should dress
~-- according to that particular
type of animal which she resembles.
Be not offended, dear madame, or
charming mademoiselle, who reads
this Most animals are beautiful, and
with beauty which is quite their own.
Ihat, permit me to inform you, is
most important point-a beauty quite
their own.
They do not try to dress as other
animals do. Fancy the rabbit trying
to drape himself in a tiger skin Yet
women do quite as absurd things. /
nave seen tiger women trying to
make rabbits of themselves and pea-
cock women trying to masquerade as
doves, 1t is the height of absurdity
and the depth of vulgarity. Your
women who are over thirty dress
charmingly, bur up to that time their
taste is in most cases atrociOuS. The
young girls try to make themselves
look like women of thirty or more,
but what is worse, they try to change
their type. The dainty little canary
like girl tries to look as though
cat had swallowed her. Wicked waste
of beauty! Confession of utter lack
of sense or fitness!
Every time l look at a woman /
think of an animal But there is in
women an infinite variety of animal
types. Men are more alike and fol
low but one species. Every man /
have ever seen resembles some breed
of a dog. He may be a greyhound,
tall and slight and sharp-featured
and nervous. Or he may be the OPP
pOsite type-the bull terrier. Recall
the men you have seen and they
range in resemblance between these
types. But women vary as greatly as
does the entire animal kingdom.

proportion of losses by the enemy's fire
which may be expected in a struggle for
supremacy under normal conditions by day,
trusting to gun and rifle for decision, than
to endeavor to gain the point by the bay
onet, the grenade, and hand-to-hand fight
ing, the only methods which can be re-
lied upon in a nocturnal melee. In cases
where the night assault is considered i'm
perative everything is done to avoid alarm
ing the enemy until the attack can close
with him. Rifles are not loaded, though
magazines are charged and cut-offs closed,
the troops are given strict orders not to
fire without a distinct order, bayonets
alone to be used until daylight makes
it possible to aim with effect; absolute
silence to be maintained until the mo.
ment of assault, the advance to be car
ried out quietly and without rafting Of
accouterments. No smoking is permitted,
no matches to be struck.
Nearly all of these advantages of night
movements and attacks seem to be de,
stroyed by merely successful experiments
with the rife grenade searchlight, for it
will be assumed by the commanders of
the opposing forces that each is provided
with this new method of turning the tables
on a sleepless enemy,
Night attacks have always been dis
tinguished by their nerve-racking effect
upon the attackers. 1t can be imagined
how much more nerve-racking will be the
unavoidable thought, or expectation, of
being suddenly turned into illuminated
targets for an enemy which remains In
visible.

John DANES, brought back to Chi

Frank Johnston that he had touched
off incendiary fires all over the coun-

trust.
Twenty fires in Chicago were start

A sensational turn was given the
arson investigation when DANES de-
clared he did not know Ben. Fink,

Investigators from the states at

working on the theory that there
were two arson rings, competing
against each other Disclosures even
more startling than those made by
DANES and Fink are expected from
this probe.
Most of the blazes DANES admitted
starting in Chicago were small, the
majority, being on the West Side. He
confessed, however, that he was re-

For EXAMPLE there are Sailor Burke and Tom

ers. and Sammy Robideau, lightweight champion

THE constant change in the personnel OF the
men," says Paymaster Bovine. mot only means
constant work on the part of the officers to mold
them into shape but it also means that Uncle
Sam is just much richer by every man who
leaves the navy after serving his apprenticeship
He has Just SO many more to call on In case OF
necessity, for man never forgets the B of
the game once he learns it. So for this
reason as well as because it contributes to the
health and pleasure of the men, nothing they can
get in the way of training is thrown away on
them.
And too the sailors life is a pleasant one.
There is lots of hard work. to be sure, but there
is plenty to eat, clean place to sleep and good
share of recreation. In the matter of athletics,
well in other ways the government does
more for its sailors than any other country.
Where viii you find it matter for active eduea-
