trembling and shivering with anxiety
and the chilliness Of the room. And
the way that surgeon went about his
work you'd never suspect he had been
in the same predicament only a few
years before.
The physical test being over and past,
we next received the mental test. Here
We felt more confidence in ourself. II
would be a mighty keen army surgeon
who could devise any medical or surgi-
cal problem we couldn't answer off,
nand, what with our good training and
hospital experience. But alas. we
knew not what an army surgeon
should know.
They sprang a page of terribly con-
structed Latin at us and asked for a
translation and criticism. They re-
quested lis to tell where Mount shasta
was situated, to bound Brazil and to
give a brief outline of the life Of
Horace Greeley. Then they required
US to describe the auses leading up
To the French revolution and name
the four leading Generals at the battle
of Thermopylp.
AS the examination progressed our
replies became more and more formal
and stilted: we were getting mad.
Finally they shot this one at US: Give
in 100 words your idea of the battle Of
Lexington, including tn" events i'm
mediately preceding and following il.
At this unparalleled insult we re-
belled. Handing u paper To the officer
in charge We left the room in high
dudgeon. The teacher stuck ii out,
and in a short time he was being car
ried off to Manila. We are still on
very grateful. BY this time, no doubt,
the teacher is instructing little Moros
in Mindanao how the colonies gained
their Independence and why the battle
of Lexington was fought.
Stats Fatlcss, the lad who helped me
make history, came around the other
day and took my application for a new
insurance policy. Owing to my excel
lent health and my continued inno-
cence of the details of the battle Of
Lexington he was able to give me a
very desirable rate-an advantage !
could scarcely have looked for had I
been very intimate with the history
Of our glorious republic.
The chief end OF history Is to instd
patriotism, and patriotism seems TO b
n mean emotion which inciteS to bloAA-
shed and insanity.

Sees Danger in Soft Collars
by Dr. l.. X. H"IRSHBERG.

IT HE soft collar promises to con-
tinue to be popular this sum-
mer. Several things besides
fashion hive contributed to this. The
soft turned over, unstarched collar is
supposed to be cool. to be comfortable,
to look natural, and have no signs of
frigid demeanor or false dignity.
There conn now. however, some dis
%coveries to dismay the new devotees to
the soft. u~nstarched collar. Instead
OF II being germ free, easier to wear
and cooler, 1t is now convicted by
physicists and psychologists of being
a n to masculine health and
comfort far surprising all starched
collars, high or low.
Physicists find that the smooth,
white. even n polished surface Of the
straight n starched stiff or turned
down collar, instead of holding heat
rays, reflects them and turns them
adrift into space. Furthermore, the
smooth, polished and snow white SUR
face holds just enough dew and moist
vapor to cause a steady. mild and con-
tinuous evaporation. This keeps u
mans neck cool and in comfort, as
we'll as keeps his skin and body in good
health.
On the other hand. the popular soft
collar for men a SO rough and ir-
regular a surface that 1t catches the
heat rays and holds them. This heats
a mans neck and really incubates the
bacteria always present on the skin.
Moreover. the soft collars always
have a little starch in them and this

the symmetry and demands Of the

Psychologists find this to be true

ENGLAND AND ZEPPELlNS.

The following editorial appears in
the London Times:
"The phases through which public
opinion in Great Britain has passed
in the matter of German air5hips are
singularly instructive. When the war
began the dominating conviction was
that tle Zeppelins were little more
than a myth. When they reached
Norfolk in January, the general be-
lief was that the experiment would
not be repeated. When the Tyneside
and Suffolk endured visitations in
April, a plausible theory was started
that there would be no recurrence be-
cause the Snort nights would hence
forth be 2 deterrent. When South.
end was twice bombarded it wa, said
that they could not reach London.
Now that they have reached London,
fresh sedatives are being administer
ed, on the ground that the Zeppelins
lave accomplished little, whereas the
real truth is that they have hardly
even yet begun in earnest. The fact
remains that Zeppelin attacks have
become unpleasat realities, and for
technica! reasons are exceedingly dill
ficult to repel"

Lansing Is Silent.
Secretary Lansing indicated he did
not intend to reply to the Ambassa
doris message at this time. He agreed
to it's publication with statement
that he had no comment to make.
Particular attention was attracted
here by the assertion in the German
communication that in the opinion of
the Imperial government the account
Of the sinking of the Arabic which
have come from England could not
correspond with facts. These ac-
counts in affidavits by the captain of
the ships and American survivors
have agreed that the Arabic, an UNI
armed passenger vessel bound for
the United States, with no contraband
in her cargo, was torpedoed without
warning by submarine.
Delay Of Week.
1t may be week or more before
Germany is heard from further. The
report of the submarine commander
must be awaited in Berlin and 1t is
known that some time, ten days or
more, will elapse before the under
water boats return to their base and
communicate with the admiralty.
