plaisant police tolerate at hundred
American seaside resorts. The squeam.
ish dress with care IN the odd little
houses on wheels with gay curtains
jealously drawn as the lady fully clad
steps in. After sufficient time for
change of costume has been allowed,
the fat Flemish horse, under the guild
ance of fat Flemish female compan-
ion of the bath, draws the bathing
machine into the water, and IN due
season the fair bather steps into the
embrace of the North sea without
scandal. When her bath is finished
the hut on wheels again receives her,
the fat horse laboriously draws her
up to the dry sands, the lady dresses
at leisure and emerges in street CO.'S

modest or droll. Elsewhere along the
beach one catches sight of sirens in
scant, close-clinging, gaudy costumes

their male escorts, but even for these
freer ladies the discreet bathing ma

Huge and luxurious hotels, rich

place the Germans have cap
W tured, writes e. N. Vallandig-
ham in the Philadelphia Rec
ord, for its accommodations for tran
tion to its size and normal population.
II there is ever a time when Ostend
has no visitors it's population then
numbers something under $4,000. Dur
ing the long season of it's summer and
autumn vogue, which extends from
the first of June nearly to the end Of
October, there are far more transient
than permanent inhabitants. 1t Is a
favorite place for Londoners on vaca-
tion, but Ostend also shelters CONT
nentals of all ranks.
The place is by no means what the
awed admirer of his betters calls lex
elusive" yet 1t is utterly unlike any
American watering place, popular or
otherwise, and 1t is In acute contrast
with that marvellous resort Of the
Dutch Scheveningen, where the ser

beach chairs make the foreshore like
a vast apiary.
Ostend lies in West Flanders, IA
miles from that medieval sleeping
beauty, Bruges, the most remarkable
survival of older western Europe. A
steam railway, trolley line and a
canal connect Bruges with Ostend. To
go by canal in one Of those slow little

a charming experience, for the land is

MAN OF THE HOUR IN TURKEY

Enver Pasha, minister of war,
leader of the Young Turk party and
son-in-law of the sultan, stands forth
just now as the most prominent fig
ure in the Ottoman empire. He is
one of the four actual directors of the
destinies of Turkey, and the most
forceful of the three. He is said to
be consumed by ambition and to be-
lieve himself to be a man of destiny.
He affects the genius of Napoleon, and
dreams in secret of converting the
actual Ottoman directory into a con-
sulate. In the role of first consul he
would then change the consulate into
an empire, following the example of
Bonaparte.
Enver, who was born in Roumelia
only thirty-five years ago, is the hero
of the Tripolitan war Also he was
the assassin of Nazim Pasha, the gen.
eralissimo of the Turkish army. Naz-
i'm belonged to the Old Turk party.
Honest, patriotic and brave, he repre-
sented the very best in the Turk. His

BERTHA KRUPP, GUNMAKER

1t is a strange thing that in the
great European war one side persona
fies its destroying force as charming
young woman and the other as q ven

1t is Bertha Krupp" who fights
for the Germans and Papa Creusot
who fights for the French. The Ger
man soldiers often say Bertha is talk

of the terrible Krupp guns and the
French soldiers say Papa Creusot is
giving the Germans lesson"
OF course, everybody knows that
Bertha Krupp is the principal heiress
of the great Krupp gun works at Es-
sen, probably the greatest establish
ment of its kind in the world. The
name Papa Creusot" is really taken
from the place-Le Creusot-where
the French guns are made.

WHEN KEY PITTMAN WAS IN NOME

In the early and rough days of
Nome, Alaska, Key Pittman, who now
is the junior senator from Nevada,
served a term as prosecuting attor-
ney. Naturally he acquired a large
acquaintance among the lawless ele-
ment and its members, in turn, gained
a high respect for the legal abilities
of the man who sent SO many of them
to jail The quite natural result was
that after his term as prosecuting at
torney closed he found himself In COM
mand OF large criminal practice.
Among his clients we're a number Of
the leaders of the rough and morally
irresponsible crowd who turned to
him to extricate them from the trou-
bles in which they frequently found
themselves. Too often, however, they
failed to pay the lawyer for his serv-

tired of working for them for nothing.

UNKNOWN TONGUES
Written by D. H. Boles of Wiseman

That time was prophesied of in
Isaiah 2S:11, and it happened on
the day of Pentecost, where we see
people who talked several different
kinds of language. 1t happened
also in a few other instances in the
acts of the apostles as a sign to
those Jews who did not believe.
(1st Corinthians 1929 AS the
Jews required sign God gave
them those miracles and wonders
and signs to make Christ approved
of God among them. See Acts
2:22. Then again see what Paul
said in 1st Corinthians 14:22 that
whether there be tongues they
shall cease" Not maybe so or
guess so, but shall. For one | am
willing to let that settle the matter.
Third-knowledge was to vanish
away, which meant the miraculous
knowledge that was given to some.
See 1st Corinthians 1873.
Here is one thing that the mod
ern so-called tongue speakers need
to think about. Isaiah didn't say
that with a jabber something like
goose talk God would speak unto
the people, but with another tongue,
as it was on the remarkable day of
Pentecost. Then the people were
all amazed and marveled, saying
one to another Behold are not all
these which speak Galileans? And
how hear we every man in our own
tongue wherein we were born?"
would be glad if the modern
tongue speakers would give me one
passage of scripture for jabbering
as they do.
