Hive Of Industry.
In Glasgow prosperity is Astounding

great engineering shops. From Green.
ock to the Broomieaw every .shipyard
on the Clyde is choked with work. The
banks OF the river are hive of indus
try in shipbuilding and ship repairing.
In the great steel works the same
story is told. The guns that are being
forged, the munitions that are being
made, are beyond reckoning in guam.

cess Of the days before the war. At
a football match played in Glasgow on
the third Saturday Of October between
the Celtics and the Rangers about 7O,-
900 spectators were present. The total

between $500 and $4,000.
OF course Glasgow is different from
other cities, for there a very great
part of the male population has been
compelled, much against its inclina-

Edinburgh Hard Hlt.
In Edinburgh, where the law courts.
the university and the rich insurance
and investment companies give so
much employment to highly educated
men. the collapse OF investments. the
almost deserted courts and the drop In
the number Of students. who prefer
the battle field to the professors lee
lures, have all had an adverse effect.
Life. however, goes on almost as usual.
The theaters and other places OF
amusement are crowded. the restaur.
ants and the tea rooms are always gay
and the streets are filled with military
men. Prince street is thronged by
the same fashionable crowd.
There are great battle squadrons
keeping their ceaseless vigil OF the
coasts, and the naval man finds Edln.

relaxation. Admirals who have al

the Scottish regiments. The stirring
strain Of the pibrvch and the swing OF |

get a kilt, but was served out with i
"trews" Weeks passed and no kits |
came along.
Then word came that the regiment |
was to be shifted TO the south OF Eng /
land preparatory to crossing to France. |
Three days lssye was given. The |
young EnglishNsl was mortified at /
the thought OF returning to Manches. |
ter to bid farewell to his friends, not In |
the splendor OF the kilt but In every.
day trousers. He appealed to one OF /
the sergeants OF the regiment After a
great deal of argument the sergeant ar.
ranged TO lend him a kilt Tor three |
days for dollar. lie left In the train /
In great glee and for a couple OF days /
staggered about Manchester In all the |
glory OF his Highland uniform.
Nemesis, however. overlook him. for
on the third day he had such terrible /
cold that the doctor ordered him to |
bed. The young Englishman Joined |
his regiment a week later in the gar.
