The jellyfish was hungry
As he wiggled all alone,
But he couldn't buy a dinner,
Cause he didn't have a bone"
The doe deer cursed and fretted
And raved about her luck;

Cause she didn't have buck.

THANKS 10 Mr. Taft for placing
an uncommon word IN common use
Lubrtcity IS not new. Its pedigree
runs back into the catacombs of the
Latin, from which so many bones
have been extracted TO form the skel-
eton of our language.
LUBRICOUS, the English root is a
fibre Of the Latin root lubricus, and
among its definitions are slipperinesS,
laSciViousness, the propensity to lewd-
ness, lewdness itself and wantonness.
So when Mr.. Taft speaks of the lu-
bricious drama intelligent people un-
derstand what he means.
STRANGELY enough, another def
milton, the lubricating idea, applies
with equal force. Lubricious plays
certainly go.

human life is cheapest war material
General Grant followed the same
policy. figuring that he could afford
to lose two or three men if it cost
the enemy one.
1t 10 still too early to learn the part
cavalry is now playing. American
army officers are divided into two
schools on the subject of cavalry
those who believe cavalry should play
it's historic part in battle and those
who regard cavalry as effective only
in scouting, in acting as mounted in
fantry when it is necessary to rush
men to weak point, there to dis
mount and advance on foot, and last
ly in following up rout. Artillery
fire and barbcd wire acknowledgements
have so far caused great slaughter
of horses. The United States war co..
lsge had enough faith in cavalry,
however, to plan division of it at the
time intervention in Mexico was
threatened.
Machine guns figure largely in the
reports, but they are still believed to
be of real advantage only in sweep
ing streets and open roads, since their
fire is scattered and they have Il
tendency to jamb. They appear to do
their greatest damage in pot shooting.
Popular Imagination is greatly stir
red by reports of airships. But these
are not feared by soldiers, except in
cases where they are able to signal
to the enemy the range of their ar
tillcry. Even in scouting they fly sev-
cpal miles high, SO high as To be un-
able to detect anything more than
