WHY OUR SOLDIERS DESERT

Three young white men under ar
rest in Pine Bluff are accused OF
being deserters from the United
States army. Within ten vars $4,000
enlisted men have deserted from the
army.
In 1911, the number of deserters
was per cent Of the enlistments. In
1913, it was II per cent. Yet we pay
from two to five times as much as
any European power for effective
riflemen. What is the matter with
Uncle Sans service?
There was some hot talk at Wash
ing'on few days ago, when Con-
grcssman Gardner declared that the
United States is wholly unpreDared
fer war. Now whether or not OIL:
military force should be increased is
question over which there is room
fer argument But every one mus
agree that the existing army should
be made into an efficient machine
The many assertions indicate thai
something is wrong.
1t has sometimes been remarked
that the army has less democratic
feeling than the navy. Perhaps this
has something to do with the unpopu-
larity of army service. Anyway
critics are complaining that when a
private gets drunk, he is apt to gel
a stiff term in Jail, while when an
officer becomes over convivial, he
may get off with mere reprimand
The United States army officers are
a fine appearing body CT men, smooth

4. And Peter, fastening his eyes
upon him with John, said, Look on

G. Then Peter said, Silver and gold

of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Z. And he took him by the right
hand, and lifted him up: and immedf-
ately his feet and ANGLE bones receiv-

g. And he leaping up stood, and
walked, and entered with them into
the temple, walking, and leaping, and
praising God.
o. And all the people saw him
walking and praising God:
&c. And they knew that it was he
which sat for aims at the Beautiful
gate of, the temple: and they were
filled with wonder and amazement at
that which had happened unto him.
II. And as the lame man which
was healed held Peter and John, all
the people ran together unto them
in the porch that is called Solomon's,
greatly wondering.

PARIS PEOPLE REFUSE TO BE FRIGHTENED
IT'S A CITY WITHOUT NERVES

- NNiEElFNNi IllElT SlHWlSH
United Press Staff Correspondent. -.
Paris, Sept. 2 (By Mail to New
York).-Paris is the city without
nerves. Paris refuses absolutely to
be frightened. Drinking grenadine
syrups, diluted with water, and
watching, quite nonchalantly, the
dropping of German bombs upon the
city is now the favoTite pastime.
This afternoon l was sitting on
the terrace fronting the Cafe Card
inal. It was quite warm, brilliant
sunshine having poured down upon
the city all day. Scores Of men and
women-mostly women with a scat
tering of youths and old men-were
sitting about me imbibing favorite
syrups and water. Walters hustled to
and fro-if the amble of the aged
and crippled walters, the only sort
available at present, can be termed a
bUstle-and everything was quite
peaceful and serene.
Presently a passerby stopped and,
shading his eyes, gazed into the sky.
Another German aerOplane," he
said, quite as if accustomed to watch
them fly over his head many times
a day.
The people on the terrace looked
up, too. Sure enough there, high oV-
erhead, was a ''taube," meaning
pigeon" a German monOplane. A
pretty young French woman near
me, slipping her pomgranate mixture,
remarked:
What gall"
She did not move. Her face did
not pale. Her voice was as steady as
if she were asking the waiter for a
carafe of fresh water. She looked up
now and then, alternating her up
ward chances with sips Of rosy grena-
dine.
Suddenly there was a boom. A
bomb exploded just around the cor
ner. The German aviator had let it |

table, fired seven times each at the
passing aircraft and grinned sheep
ishly when they saw it did not falter
but went impUdently on.
The people of the restaurant ter
race kept their seats. They went
right on drinking and gazing up
wards alternately. The little French
beauty said:
Such a poor bomb. Not nearly
so loud as a cannon"
Then another bomb exploded, and
third. The aeroplane turned de-
liberately over the Elffel tower and
from the top of this tall structure a
machine gun ratified away. Then a
cannon rOared from somewhere near
the Champ de Mars again and
again. The German pilot turned now
and began to back track. Near the

Of the MOntmaTtre hill, the aeroplane

a bored sort Of way. He's flying
an armoTed aeroplane."
why doesn't a French pilot go
for him?" asked the woman.
Search me-" replied the man.
The aerOplane disappeared, and
the crowd on the terrace went right
on with it's drinks.
While writing the above, the sound
of gun firing reached me through the
open window. Looking out saw
everyone below me gazing up. About
1000 feet over the Rue Montmartre,
directly over my head, a "taube" was
blithely making its daring way to-

This Removes Hairs
Almost Like Magic
(Heip to Beauty.)

Much favorable comment Is being
made upon the new formula for remov-
ing dishsuring hairs. One serious OBJ
lection arises and that is. any woman
can employ this treatment in her own
home and thus deprive the beauty spe-
cialist Of her fee. For the benefit OF
others, the formula Is here repeated:
Mix some delatone with water: apply

The skin should then be washed to

LITTLE TIPS FOR
THE DRESSMAKER
Care Is Essential to the Success of the
Woman Who Makes Her
Own Clothes.

Care is the first essential for the
woman who undertakes her dressmak-
ing for the first time.
1t looks easy enough to the novice
to cut out patterns, for instance, and
yet there is nothing more difficult than
to do SO correctly, for il really depends
upon the way the pattern is cut how
much material may be required. A
careful dressmaker may get q whole
gown out of three yards of material.
where the novice. through reckless
cutting. would require at least i've.
The first thing. therefore, is to study
your pattern and plan how you may
cut your goods to the best advantage.
II it is your first pattern, II Ii better
to cut 1t q little larger than little
smaller, because the first fault may
be remedied with little trouble. where
sometimes the latter mistake Is i'm
possible Of correction
Be sure that you have a large pair
of scissors, and that they are sharp.
1t is worth while having them sharp

seem to require II, for IL they are
not keen they will catch and tear tho

You will save a great deal Of time

ments. such as pins, tape measure.

Nothing is more irritating than to ind
yourself short at the last minute. II
you are going to do much sewing 1t
is well to get staple colors by the
/ dozen spools.
Have Plenty Of Needles.
Be sure to have plenty Of machine
needles. They have an Irritating
habit Of breaking at tho most unex-
pected times. especially when you are
using heavy goods.
Be sure, too. that you UNDERSTAND
how to run the machines you are TO
use. A great deal depends upon this
more than a novice at the art realizes.
A few lessons from some experienced
persons will save much time and per-
haps many disheartening failures
Remember that the best dressmakersi
believe in basting everything nrst.
You always lose time by going reck-
lessly ahead and evading basting. In
fact, you are likely to ruin whole

fectly straight beforehand.
Be sure to press out all seams per-
