torpedo boat destroyers In the North
Sea last Saturday. The dispatch said:

led into Harwich from the North Sea
the destroyers which participated in
the engagement last Saturday, the
result of which was the sinking OF
four German destroyers The spec

and to points OF vantage. cheering
the victorious.
Interviews with the crew OF the

gether with the four British torpedo
boat destroyers left Harwick early
Saturday morning and sighted the
Germans early in the afternoon. BY

forced to fight.
THE German destroyers faced the
odds brayely.- With her big guns the

five miles. Then the smaller ves-
sells closed in and became busy.
Then began a running fight.
While the cruiser. protected from
torpedoes by her fighting consorts.

two of the enemy's ships. the de-
stroyers attacked the other two. The
reply from the Germans was very
poor in comparison. The first Of the
enemy's craft sank after half hour s

the battle was over.
"One sailor pays tribute to the
pluck of the Germans. They fought

And No Wonder, After He Had Read
 About It's Strength. What is dripping?
 Everybody knows that dripping is supposed to be the juices, the savory essences. that fall from roasting meats.
 That is the supposition. But what really is dripping-the dripping that the poor of England buy by the pound and smear upon their bread in lieu of butter?
 The question perhaps will never be answered. but a partial solution is given to 1t by the fact that a London poorhouse recently bought at $7 a ton thirty-two tons of dripping from-a soap works.
 Alfred Moves used to tell a dripping story.
 "A little boy" he would begin, ''com- plained bitterly about the bread and dripping that formed his daily break fast. .-~.

Time For the Actor to Stop.

On the subject of playing the same part over an indefinite number of times David Warfield says: ''There is no such thing as playing a part too long. The mellowing process should never cease. but if 1t does. if spOntaneity fails. if the actor feels that he, is becoming at all mechanical in the part he should abandon 1t at once
 for his own salvation.
 ''The surest danger signal is half hearted applause. From this the actor knows that be has lost an essential quality of the character. and the t.ag- edy of it Is he cannot tell what that quality Is or how he lost 1t. An actor may tell,:n. joke a thousand times and provoke laughter. but suddenly it fails of response. That's the time for him to stOp."' "'--American Magazine.

The roads are still in bad shape, but the trouble is not merely local, as papers state that even in the cities the trouble is great, and in many or most towns there are many. dangerous pieces of road.
