The allies have determined to turn upon their foes with all the new methods of warfare which are being employed by the latter. After hun dreds of women and children had been killed and wounded by Zeppelins in England the English and French began attacking German towns from the air and killing non-combatants. Then came the German poison gas attacks. The allies have not yet used poison gas on the Germans but are expected to soon. Last winter the , Germans began using liquid fire on the French trenches. The French answer is seen in the picture, which shows a close view of French liquid fire apparatus sending thick columns of flame across the enemy trenches.

VIGILANCE COMMITTEES
By George Fitch

The vigilance committee was an institution which flourished in Cali fornia at a time when justice was not only blind, but was paralyzed in , both arms and had a wooden leg.
 When gold was discovered in Cali fornia in 1S49, thousands of people arose from various places and hus- tied out to the coast. Some of these were estimable gentlemen and others were hyenas who had degenerated a good deal.
 There was a great deal of free hand murdering in California in those days and large numbers of alleged humans took a pride in boring a hole through a total stranger in a work manlike manner. In the course of time San Francisco acquired quite a number of citizens who felt dull and listless all day if they did not shoot a man before breakfast.
 There was some government of course, but not enough to interfere With anyone's pleasure-about as much as there is in Terre Haute, Ind, during an election. The quick tempered citizens with the convulsive trigger fingers went on shooting peo- pie for breathing the air in their vicinity until something had to be done about it.
 At this point a large number of citizens organized a scientific society.
 The object of the society was to dis cover whether a gunman and gen. eral desperate would remain healthy after being hung from a telegraph pole by the neck.
 A large number of experiments were carried out with great enthusi asm. At length they were discon- tinued for two reasons In the first place. the society came to the re- luctant conclusion that hanging a desperado by the neck was invaria bly, fatal. In the second place there were no desperadoes left to hang. Vigilance societies are a little out of fashion now, but a modification of the old organization might be very useful in every American city which is cluttered up with inspectors Whe don't inspect, If Chicago had had a vigilance society poking around into conditions for the last few years and pointing out things with long bony forefingers the Ea stand would prob- 1 ably have carried 800 people out in ] to the lake last July in perfect safety

Roosevelt District

The Parent Teachers Association will resume it's meetings as in the past. This organization accom- plished great deal of good last year by supplying. poor families with food and clothing, enabling the chil- dren in such families to attend school regularly. The meetings are devoted to helpful talks of the most practical sort, and plans for carry ing on the work School Garden ing,' Canning of Vegetables" "Mu- sic in the Schools" Supervision and Care of the School Grounds were some of the topics discussed, and others just as instructive are being planned for the coming year. The members of the association visit reg ularly in the school rooms, thus encouraging both teacher and pupils by showing them that an interest is taken in their work. Every mother who wants the best conditions for her child and other children as well should join this association.

 The cabinet has been gradually working up for a century to it's present number of twentytwo.

WASTE OF WORDS
By Walt Mason

The gifted statesman makes a speech; we hear him rumble. growl and screech for weary hours together; we murmur, as the moments pass, His lungs are surely made of brass, his larnyx is of leather" In order to express a thought he springs five miles of tommyrot, of words that have no bearing, and how he hates to cease to spout, He cannot see he's wearied out his audience despair ing. When will our public speakers learn that brevity will always earn the gratitude of hearers? Let speeches all be shorn of gulf, until they are just short enough, and we will bless the shearers. No long ora tion is a treat; a man may have a voice as sweet as mocking birds or linnets, but he becomes a dreary bore f he is elocutinS more than twelve or fifteen minutes. Condense my friends; again, condense; don't let the words outweigh the sense, in speeches or in writing; boil down your lecture or your screed, and all the folks who hear or read will find your work inviting.

 It's not fair when an Editor lets you write classic for his old paper and then goes ahead and editorially chaws you up.

A famous lecturer visited Phoenix recently and literally did away with Hell-he said there wasn't any. Now he didn't give us any substitute for it. He would have been knocked out-would have lost his argument if some one had asked him where bad boys and girls were going when they died.

"Some sailcr's carlo. Well, so on.
Idols don't talk"
An hour afterward Harry Wilkerson
rose to his feet and kicked the scatter
ed contents OF the chest into the Soup
pers.
The idol rolled away and came to
a stop upright against the bulwarks.
when it presented glazed. mysterious
eyes.

a curse.
"Only an idol" laughed Jean i'll wild
derision.
Then her handsome face famed with
wrath. She turned her back con-
temptuously on Wilkerson and stared
across the water ut the launch which
was pursuing them.
In the bitterness of her heart was no
mingling Of pity for her tool: only self
contempt that she had depended on
him, helped him.
When she could control herself she
went forward to get out of sight Of
the knocking heap of rubbish that had
cost so much.
Presently Il sailor made excuse to
come aft and peered at the pile Of
junk. The idol caught his eye. and he
stealthily caught it up and hid it in
his shirt.

Thus once more the plans of tue

She stamped her foot.

Wilkerson had expected and feared

for nothing. Without her assistance
and her money he was helpless.
And profounder even than his hatred
of Dorr and his desire for the hidden
wealth was his agony ut the though,
OF his failure to win this woman whom
he loved.

an essence of love. Il complete and al
