In view of the discussion as to mod ern methods of marine warfare raised by the sinking of the Lusitania, it is interesting to note what was the prac- tice of the Confederate Admiral Sem mes during our own Civil War.Sem- mes is credited with having captured more vessels than any other comman- der In p months on the Alabama he boarded 386 vessels, burnt B and took 2,000 men off enemy ships. By the north he was designed "a robber and plunderer of unarmed vessels. :" and every effort was put forth to make out a ease against him, but all the evidence showed that he adhered to the usual rules of warfare, and not single death could be attributed to him. Semmes released all enemy ships containing neutral cargoes, and all passenger vessels carrying women and children. and in one case the wo- men and children found on an East Indian trader were taken aboard the Alabama and made comfortable in the officers cabius. A full account of his methods and practices may be found in the recently published Life of Ra- pheal Semmes," by Colyer Meriweth- er.--New Orleans Picayune.

1nee on Monday afternoon. The show
is entitled The Beauty Spot and has
a cast of Is people, the largest of any

from the Union Square theatre, New
York city, where it will complete a
very successful run this Saturday
night An orchestra leader is carried
by the company in order to assure the
proper carrying out of the musical

whole town talking about his clever

general opinion is that the show APP

seen at this house. Besides Mr.. Bar
ton there are Jim Howell Stella Ford
and other well known artists in the
company, and a very attractive chorus
of lively girls with unusually good
voices. An exceptional picture pro-

goodly proportion of carbohydrates.
To illustrate the ease with which
meat can be eliminated and the same
food value obtained, 1 have copied a
ration for twenty-four hours contain
ing meat and two without meat.

doughQuts, mashed potato, lamb chops,

There is but slight difference be
tween the number of calories in the
first ration and the number in each
of the last two.
1 am not advocating strict vegetari-
anism, but feel that many people
would find it beneficial to both hearth
and purse to eat less meat.
Having discoursed at such length I
will add but one thing more. That is
my hearty approval of the date sug-
gested for the picnic at Coventry. It
seems to me just right and L trust
that great many of the Cornerites
will find it possible to be present.

DIAMOND souEEeEE TREAD TIRE

The queer little character who has
recently been appearing in advertising
under the name of Mr.. Squeegee, seat
ed on top of a Diamond Squeegee Tread
Tire with an umbrella over his head
to protect him from the rain, has at
tracted a great deal of attention and
has caused many people to wonder
where such a name as Squeegee could
have originated.
Store owners have long been accus-
toned to clean their windows with the
edge of a thin piece of rubber, inserted
in zinc holder, and in some manner
or other this utensil became known as
a Squeegee. although the word seems
to have no particular significance.
When Diamond Tires were made and
it became necessary to provide a name
for the tread the word 'Squeegee" ap-
peared to express the idea of the tire
makers exactly. The tread consists Of
five bars of rubber which CircumScribe
the tread,sthe three in the center being
continuous and the two on the outside
broken at regular intervals, all bound
together by cross bars. The non-skid
which this tread gives results from a
Squeegee-like working of these five
bars.
When the car begins to skid the out
side bar wipes away the mud and slime
much as a Squeegee takes the water
from a wet window, and permits the
other bars to grip tight to the pave
ment. In fact, the principle is exactly
that OF Squeegee" and the tread has
been well named. Mr.. Sdueegee was
originated to typify the Squeegee tread
in advertising and to tell car owners
about the virtues which his tread holds
out for them, especially in wet wealth
er. Whenever he speaks it is raining
for he always has his umbrella up
whenever he, is seen.

LOVE AND THE WEATHER.

If only love were raining,
If it were love that fell
In every golden shower,
In every bloomy dell;
If only love were raining,
How sweet 'twould be to drown
Beneath the rushing torrent
If love were raining down!
If only love were blowing,
If it were love that blows
On every barren hillside,
In every vale of SHOWS;
If only love were blowing,
How good 'twould be to SLEEP
Down. down in drifted beauty
Beneath its deepest deep!
If only love were winter.
And only love were spring;
If only love were summer,
Were it the autumn's wing
The rain might pour forever.
The snow pile high the street;
If love were only weather,
All storms would be so sweet!

JUST KNITTING.

over the world the war-cloud lies,
with heavy hearts and saddened eyes
We scan the news from day to day
We read of loss by land and sea
And marvel that these things can be.
Yet do we ponder on the woe
With folded hands and fdleE NO,
We're knitting.
The fingers ny. the needles click;
An inward voice bids us be QUICK
And as we work we deeply pray
20 Heavenly Father, may 1t be
This warning world some day shaH see
1t is a bond of loving friends.
OF sympathy that never ends,
