How Inspiring inc Rattle of tho Drums and the Measured Beat of Feet Marching in Time
 With the Music.

rade wouldn't be parade at all with out a band, would it?
 And that is just the way soldiers in war-the poor fellows now fighting over in blood-stained Europe-feel about it. In times of peace some of us doubtless wonder what good a band could possibly be in battle. Of course. we must admit, for parade, it is fine and inspiring; but in actual warfare surely it is foolish to arm men only with drums and comets and trom- bones?
 But 1t isn't. On the contrary, the military band is invaluable. Music is one of the most vital ammunitions of the army" a famous Russian gen eral has said. Without music, a Russian soldier would be dull. cow ardly, brutal and inefficient. From music he absorbs a magic power of endurance and forgets the sufferings and mortality. It is a divine dyna- mite. "
 And no less an authority than the great Napoleon has expressed the same opinion. In his notebook of his disastrous retreat from Russia he states that the French defeat was caused by the terrible Russian winter

Helpful Harry

long and earnestly. What could it do for him he wondered. Then he thought that he would take it home for his mother, as it was so prettily shaped. Just as he was busy with his musings the little girl that he had met in the woods appeared and said That is one of my tears in the cup" and she pointed to what Harry had thought drop of rain clinging to the side of the little cup. Tt will turn into a magic glass by which you can see your way no matter where you are, or what trouble you are in. Do not break it, for it is wonder glass; Then she, too, disappeared.
 Harry now opened the package given him by the hungry dog, and found nothing inside but a big bare bone. That bone, said the dog, who ap- peared in front of the astonished Harry, lis a magic bone, and by just looking at it through the magic glass or tapping 1t three times with the magic staff, will turn into the most delicious of food" Then the dog trotted away and was seen no more. Harry wondered much, and gathering his treasures together he ran home to his mother as fast as his legs could carry him.
 Now there was great rejoicing in the poor hut on the edge of the wood, because with the magic bone and the help of the magic staff and the won der glass they would never know want.
 Years went by and Helpful Harry had grown to be fine tall youth. The poor hut was now replaced with comfortable cottage and Harry's brothers and sisters had all been helned tn get on in the world hN his

and encouraged by the now frantic cheers of the surprised rooters, had played Coleman off their feet when the first half was over. Neither side had scored. The despised, shot-to- pieces Granger eleven had held the mighty Coleman line like a wall; had smashed the offense of the crimson's hammering half-bacls without score. And as the whistle for the second half screeched, every Granger rooter shouted and demanded that Bob and his team go out and win.
 But Granger couldn't score on their heavier opponents Bob tried end run after end run, but was always tackled before he could break away for a clear field. The fourth quarter was half over and neither side had scored, though several times the crimson foe had threatened to plunge through for a touchdown.
 Five minutes after the fourth quar- ter whistle sounded. Granger found herself in possession of the ball In midfield. Bob had tried one of his wide end runs; but he seemed to lack his old-time speed and was forced out of bounds on the Granger side of the field.
 It was then that Hal helped.
 "23-4-19." came the signal. '2- 14-S!"
 The ball shot to Bob, who, instead of trying an end run, this time plunged through close to the boundary line and succeeded in getting past the secondary defense successfully But there remained the quarter and full back, who bore down upon him like relentless fate. Bob had given up hope for clear field. His speed seemed to be gone. Why hadn't he called for a forward pass or mass play? He felt discouraged. He was no longer an open-fleld runner.
 Just then, straight for Bob's heels, darted that pessy little dog, Dixie.
 sic him. Dixie." shouted Hal. "Go after himl''
 And Dixie did. But no sooner did Bob feel Dixies teeth on his leather shoes than he cut loose in one of his old time sprints. He mumbled to himself, Why did Hal ever let loose of that cur?" and he was angry. He became panic-striclsen at the thought of that hounds fangs in his ankle. and. no longer thinking about the game, he determined to get away from that dog A backward kick never stopped Dixie. So 1t was run or Ps bit. in Bob's mind. So swiftly did he sprint that the fullbacks tackle missed him good yard, and when he reached the crimson quarterback, waiting with outstretched arms, Bob bowled him over and sped on in his race to escape dog-bite. Crossing the remaining white lines he never stop ped until he had leaped the school fence and placed that barrier between himself and the snapping Dixie. He had scored the longest touchdows ever made in Granger's history. Seven 1 to nothing in favor of Granger Hal and Dixie shared honors with | Bob in the celebration that night. Happy in victory, Bob's grin was the most evident thing about him, but all he would say was this;
 "It's pretty tough to have to dodge two halfbacks. a full, and a quarter, say nothing of a blamed dog. But guess we all need spur now and then"

and the Russian army music. H.

and the Russian army music. He wrote:
 "The weird and barbaric tunes of these Cossack regiments simply infu- riated the half-starved Muscovites to the maddest rage and they wiped out the very cream of the army
 Most military authorities agree that the band Is indispensable to the soldier in time of war. It cheers him on the march and hastens his tagging, swollen feet. It comforts him at evening when camp has been pitched for the night. And. as he marches into battle, 1t fills him with enthusiasm and courage and patri- otic fervor to do his duty until death or victory call halt.

 "You're not afraid he's going to eat you up, are you, Bob? He's had his supper
 But Hal didn't want to inflict Dixie (that was the name to which the animal answered) upon Bob. if the latter didn't care to have him around. so called:
 Here, Dixie. old boy, come here and quit chewing Bob's trousers. 'Tisn't nice.'
 Bob inspected the cuffs of his trous- CTS to see if there were any tears or tooth-prints on them, and said sig niflcantly:
 Some of these days. Hal, you're going to have a dead dog on your hands"
 Then he'll be like the Granger football team, won't he, Bob?" asked Hal with a merry twinkle In his eyes.
 Bob turned red, for he was captain of the worst football team Granger High School had had in years. They had lost every game on the schedule

mend it to special attention. Too lazy to build a home, too lazy to run even when in danger, and too lazy to hunt food except that which can be obtained with little effort, the chief occupation of this numbering, slab sided creature is sleeping, and he IS quite a success at that.
 The extensive preparation the ant eater makes for sleeping is perhaps his most amusing characteristic. Hopping down on his side, he buries his long nose in the fur of his chest, locks his four feet together and then turns his long. bushy tail over his body. Being of grayish brown color he looks in repose like heap of dried grass.
 The ant eaters tail is useful as well as ornamental for it shields his body from the hot rays of the tropical sun, and when worn over the back 1t fur

Argument That Has lor9 been Made
Seems Substantiated by excava-

Announcement that the excavations
in Crete for the University OF Penn
sylvania have brought to light frag-
ments of an ancient civilization which
show that women of that island were
corsets and bobble-skirts 5000 years
ago is interesting as matter OF
archaeology; hut 1t is nothing new
Ia fact, It has been developed long
since that even in the classic times
Of Greece the graceful garment shown

change with the seasons and with the
years. but return again In cycles that
appear TO have had no beginning and
to approach to no end. She and her
clothing are the joint symbols of the
truth that nothing is so immutable as
mutability.
1t Is questionable, however. wheth-
IT the women or the youth OF the
world ever subordinated their OWN
tastes 20 the whims and absurdties "
