A beautiful girl is very likely
to believe she was made to look
at, and so she sets herself up for
a show at every window, in every
door, on every corner of the street,
in every company at which OPP
portunity offers for an exhibition
of herself. And believing and
acting thus she soons becomes
good for nothing else, and when
she comes to be a middle-aged
woman she is that weakest and
most sickening of human beings

MOTHERS SEEK
NEWS OF SONS

It's mighty hard to be a mother Of
sons in Homeburg. l worked in the
postoffice for year once-handed out
maitland l got to know just exactly
what most of the mothers in town
wanted. l could please them with a
new magazine and mystify them with
a circular or a business letter.
But if I wanted to light them up un-
til they took the shadows out Of the
corners as they went out l would give
them letter from son way off some
where making good. The best of them
didn't write any too often. Once a
week is pretty regular, suppose. from
the other end, but you should see the
mother begin to come in hungry again
the second day after her letter came.
And when a boy came home success
full and prosperous and his proud
mother lowed him down Main street it
used to go to my heart to see the visit

The Dardanelles and the Hellespont

a mile wide. On one side Is Asia, and

The strait is famous in mythology.

Xerxes and Alexander ferried across.
One determined to destroy the civiliza-
ton of Greece and the other to diffuse
Grecian culture over the whole world.

this strait. The Roman empire of the
east commanded it even after the Mo.

Ir any excavations, should be carefully
examined for the presence or indica-
tons of useful minerals. Fallen stones.

should be continued up the river or

A vein rock usually is of different
degree Of hardness to the surrounding

HARVEY SC0RNED
FOR DISCOVERY

It was while studying at Padua IN
der professor who had discovered
the valves in the veins that Harvey
discovered the circulation Of the blood.
He was curious to know what these
valves were for, and. finding that they
all pointed in the same direction. he
could think Of no reason for their ex-
istence unless 1t might be to prevent
the blood from flowing backward.
Placing ligature on his arm, he
found that one set of vessels, the ar
teries, became distended with blood on
the side nearest to the heart. while
the veins became distended with blood
on the side farthest from the heart.
This to him meant only that the blood
flowed from the heart through the ar
teries and back to the heart through
the veins. 1t also explained the beat.
ing of the heart and the throbbing of
the pulses.
But the medical and surgical world
received this epoch making discovery
with scorn. Harvey published book
on his discovery, and his practice fell
off considerably. Doctors scoffed, and
the public looked on him as a crank.
1t was a quarter of a century after
the book appeared before the discovery
was accepted by the learned men of
the world.-New York World.

manders to guard against surprise. He
brings valuable information regarding
the nature Of the enemy's defenses, the
lay of the country and facts that the
best of maps fail to make plain. Then
his services in directing gunfire are
practically indispensable.
Germans Saw Value First.
It was the Germans who first saw
how the aviator could control the fire
Of the big guns. They knew it long
before the war started. and in the
early days of the march through Bel
GUM the Belgian defense in the field
was quickly broken down because Of
the accuracy Of the shrapnel fire d.
rected by taubes overhead.
Much Of the land between the Ger
mans and allies in Flanders now is alb
solutely fiat. There is no ridge or. emf
nence to command the plain that
stretches league after league on every
side, with something of the vast monot.
ony Of the open sea. Without aerial
observation artillery fire would be
largely matter Of pure guesswork in
such a country. With the aid Of the
flying scout quite invisible target is
reached with a high degree Of pre-
cision.
The labor and organization required
to keep an aeroplane feet ready for
action hardly can be conceived by the
uninitiated. The engines and frame
work Of the modern machine are pref
ty substantial, and it may surprise
many persons to know that many of
the aeroplanes employed at the begin
ming Of the war are still in use and
quite effective. Many of them have
spent the winter in the open air prac-
tically all the time. Violent gales and
exposure to night air have not ruined
them.
Still there is need of constant repair.
New parts have continually to be sup
piled. and consequently an aeroplane
base is factory as well as camp.
In one place scores Of machinists are
employed in stitching the canvas
wings. in another one finds an i'm
mense store of spare parts and engines.
in still other mechanics are busy over
repairs. The work is continually on
the increase too.

Germans Guido Armies Of Old.
A Berlin letter says the prodigious
marches Of the Germans In East Prus-
STA and Poland have outdone all the
records Of the armies Of old.
An average German march. the
writer states. is twenty to twenty-one
miles, but after three days a day Of
rest is observed II that pace has been
kept. On the famous retreat Of the
10000 Greeks after the battle Of Gu
naxa, in 4O1 B. C.. from near Babylon
to Trebiz0nd. on the Black sea, the
average days march was sixteen and
three-Quarter miles. but this average
was secured by several forced marches
Of twenty-seven and one-half miles.
and the normal days march was about
fifteen and One-Quarter mileA
A striking accomplishment was that

miles in SIX days on their march to
take part in the battle Of Jena, and
that over b. roads through the Thur.

It, covered forty six miles from the vi.

next day.
One East Prussian regiment marched
i22 miles in FIVE days to join linden

Stokers Are Other Extreme.
: But the trenches in the wet and the
long marches in the snow have been
