plies to all the flying men of all the
armies of Europe. The Glow cloud
day is the day of rest,
This was illustrated the other day
when an officer of an anti.aircraft
gun sent shell into the sky to show
me how the gun worked, We couldn t
see the shell burst, whereupon he
ordered the shell set to burst at 800
feet above the ground. We looked into
the sky expecting to see Flash but
there was none The explosion was
hidden by the clouds, which were less
than 800 feet above us, An aeroplane
man at greater height than 500 feet
on day like this could see nothing
below him and, if he did come down
below the clouds, he would present an
unmissable target to rifles and air.

There were no days at Vera Cruz
when the weather prevented our navy
armen from flying and it is safe to say
that our army armcn, few as they may
be, are equally expert.
In map making, the British army ex.
cells, They are field kits for map max.
ers by which small maps can be turned
out rapidly; even colored maps can
be made in the fighting zone. These
maps show even the positions Of scat
tered houses, as well as bridges, wind,
mills and haystacks, and they are so
plentiful that even the non.commis.
stoned Officers may possess them. How
well Mexico is mapped, in the war de.
partment at Washington no one but
the experts know, but there were no
map making kits visible at Vera Cruz,
and the only maps were those that
were laborously patched out from ex'
isting railroad maps and others,
1t is not possible, however, or fair
to draw the comparison too closely be
tween the British army in the field and
the forces which General Funston
brought to Vera Cruz, General Funs
toms force was intended for occupa

years until all main Travelled roads
have been treated to hard surfacing
upon scale such as will prove the
least possible burden upon the taxpay'

OF the approximately $4,000 expend
ed upon the county roads during the
past five months the greatest outlay,
or about 80 per cent, occurred during
the months Of March and April, the to-
tails for which months, respectively,
were S23,3S3.S5 aud $26,S60.32. OF the
amount expended for the month of
April alone $l0,77S.S0 was paid out for
grayeling roads, 0,439.44 for repairs
and improvements, 81, ,799.6D for super
vsors salaries, $9lS.37 for macadam.

ing his dinner Aunt Mary had tele-
phoned she was going to stay at din
ner with the Symones. After Dick
had pushed back from the table and
lighted his cigaret, he pulled in
silence for a few minutes, and then
said, Mother will get us all in a devil
of scrape yet"
He looked up inquiringly, but l did
not let him know by the flicker of an
eyelash that l knew she had sent Jack
money.
"She has sent Jack all the money
that has been paid her for the last
two MONTHS" he continued, "and let
her board bill go. Now the hotel peo-
pie want their money and she is
frightened. She went to see Mary
about it, but, of course, Mary could
do nothing without consulting me. I
told her that after this l would have
mothers board bill sent to the book
shop the first of every month and
that she should pay them and send
mother only the balance that re-
NAMED after the bills we're paid.
MARY protested that she could not
do that, said she did not want to get
mixed in any more family matters
than she is in now.
81 asked her what she meant by
that and she told me that mother had
called her up over the phone and
balled her out because she would not
consent to live with Jack again. Jack
had written mother he would not
come back to the city even to die
unless he could be forgiven by Mary"
What did you say, Dick?"

scoundrel back l would have nothing
more to do with her. l did not tell

think right here is where women
make the mistakes of their lives.
They tell their troubles to every one.
If they lose anything from money to
husband they Immediately lament
the fact to everybody within hearing
and often go out of their way to ex-
press themselves to some one who
cares nothing about their troubles
and bewail their ignorance of facts
and short-sightedness in coping with
them.
No man does this, little book. I do
not think he ever confesseS all his
shortcomings, even to himself. l
question if even the abject failure will
ever own up that it is his fault that
he has failed. He blames his wife,
his family, his health, his employer,
fate, anything but his own lack of
capability and stick-to-it-iveness.
However, he very freely tells every
one of the business shortcomings of
the other fellow, and this, little book,
opens up another train of thought,
which emphasizes the difference be-
tween man and woman. A man never
tells of the moral lapses of any of his
sex. He will call another man a liar
and a thief in speaking of him, if he
thinks the man has cheated him or
any of his friends out of money, but
he will be discreetly silent if the same
man tries to steal a friends wife or
ruins the reputation of one of his
feminine acquaintance. On the
other hand, l think most women will
protect thief if he is agreeable, and
they love liar if he lies in his fiat

URGES FIRM DIRECTION
OF NEAR EAST CAMPAIGN
London Times Seems to Point to
Kitchener as the
Leader.

LONDON. December 31.-The Times,
in an editorial this morning, demands
the appointment of a man of COM
manding position, whose very name
will compel obedience and respect, to
take charge of the whole allied war
operations in the near east
The Times contends that the great
defecl in all the eastern phases of the
war has been the lack Of unity and
united direction between the various
campaigns which ought to be sur
veyed and dealt with not from the
standpoint of London, but by some
single capable mind knowing the east
as an open book
The Times continues: I'VE need more
recognition of the principle that the
eastward drift of the war now affects
directly or indirectly the vast regions
which extend from Kordofan to Kur-
distan, and from the Libyan desert to
Hindu-k kush.
