 Recently read of the use of homins pigeons in times of war; Are they used now7
 During the siege of Paris, in the Franco-Prussian war, homing pigeons carried upward of 10000 messages. This was tie result of an inspiration on the part of private citizens who awned pigeons and offered them to the government. But the success of the experiment was so great that France has ever since maintained large hocks of these birds, in charge of the engt- neer corps They are carefully train ed and taught to fly and afight on sig nal. Pigeon lofts were stablished in Berlin and at other places in the Ger man empire, as well as in all the other countries of Europe, with thousands of pigeons prepared to carry messages in time of war.

' AS submarines are playing worry isas portant part in the present conflict, | VvossId like to know how long fhese boa*s can remain entirely submerged and any other interesting facts about them.
 A typical submarine is about 14S feet long by 15 feet in diameter, and is capable of a speed of eleven knots on the surface and five knots submerged. In tests submarines have stayed under water for twenty four hours at a time. Some of the more recent have a radius of action of 4,JoO miles-that is, they could cross the Atlantic without re- plenishing their fuel and stores. While Cruising on the surface SSsy are pro- peIled by gasoline engines. In run ming submerged they use electric mo tors that are driven by storage bat teries, which are charged by the <gaso- line engines while on the surface They are not a particularly comforta- ble craft, but if the weather gets too rough they can submerge and thus es- cape the worst of the wave action.

RURAL LIFE

Rural life is coming into it's own
and country life is beginning to
be appreciated again after sever
al decades of disfavor and neg
lect. The following creed which
Is being adopted as the slogan of
various boys and girls clubs
throughout the rural sections Of
the United States. shows, that
the thought Of life in the country
is being directed into its natural
channels.
II believe that the country
which God made is more beautiful
than the city which man made;
that life out Of doors and in touch
with the earth is the natural life
Of man. believe that work is
work wherever | find it, but
work with nature is more inspir.
ing than work with the most
intricate machinery. believe
that the dignity of labor depends
not on what you do. but on how
you do it; that opportunity comes
to a boy in the city, and that life
is larger and freer and happier or
the farm than in the town"

and there Ia variety Of ways of US

The illustrated evening gown shows

with white fur. The body part of the
corsage and the short-pouched tunit
are of black chiffon velour orna

beads. The v decolletage allows a
glimpse of white malines folded over
the bust, and there is little tiaring
collar OF the same at the back. Chan

and these, too, are bordered with a
narrow white fur banding The lace

STEALS GIRLS RING-DRAWS
THREE MONTHS TERM

lT1nEE WIN ! TO En-"
Walter j. Kersten, 20, nephew of
Judge Geo. Kersten, was sentenced to
8 months in the house of correction
by Judge Dolan today.
Kersten was charged with stealing
a pearl ring from Helen Eagan, 1850
S. Halsted.
"He-not only stole the ring" said
Asst States Atty Malcolm B. Ster-
rett, ''but wheedled the girls mother
out of $3.50, which he said he need
ed to make enough to buy the ring
back from the man he had sold it
to-"
SterTett wanted the youth held to
the grand jury. The boys friends
wanted the charge changed from
grand larceny to petit larceny. Judge
Dolan said all depended on the value
of the ring. The girl said it was
worth SIS; the boy said SIS; an expert
said $40; so Judge Dolan dismissed
the charge of grand larceny, a charge
of petit larceny was substituted and
Kersten was given three months.
Girls are blamed by the mother,
Mrs. Jas. Kersten, 6132 Justine ST.,
for the boys downfall. He has been
in trouble many other times.
