shores Of the pink mist, a fairy sprang
down from the wall to greet the girl.
so you are Cara?" said the fairy,
kindly. Welcome to Cloudland Cas-
tie. We saw you were unhappy and
thought we would bring you here for
few hours" Then, taking Caras
hand, she led the girl over the mag
nificent palace. Its furniture was of
gold, mirrors formed the sides Of the
rooms and fountains of jewels sang in
its snowy courts. In one room the girl
was surprised to see hundreds of
fairies sitting before large loom,

white, many gray, violet. gold, and
crimson.
This is the room IN which the
threads of life of you mortals are
woven" explained the fairy. Here in
this castle in the clouds we live and
watch the people of earth. Their lives
are the web which we weave. You
see the dark threads ;or those who are
selfish and cruel, the bright colors of
the gentle and kind"
Cara looked to where the fairy
pointed and saw above a small frame
the name of Cara" Eagerly she ex.
aminod to see what threads the fairies
were weaving into her life, and sadly
! she recognized black and gray as the
most conspicuous colors. She hung
her head in shame.
, The fairy led the girl to the edge of
the cloud castle and told her to look
down upon earth. Strange to say, she
could see right down through the roofs
of houses. Around the table in some
rich homes were gathered groups Of
quarreling, unhappy people, while in
some poor cottages we're the smiling
faces of contented parents and chill
dren. At her own home she saw her
mother patiently mending dress
which the girl had torn the day before
and selfishly left for her mother to fix.
Cara's eyes filed with tears.

in a voice trembling with pain. 81

1t is easily to be seen that Cara was
a selfish girl. Her mother worked
hard to keep the girl nicely dressed
and at a good school, where she was
learning to be teacher, but the child
did not appreciate this.

at hrst they refused to consider the

However, they consented to give

great motorvan all through the region

fic happened to be thickest.
"At first these men held their breath.

DRINKING AUTO DRIVERS.

Great responsibility rests upon the secretary of state in enforcing respect for proper conduct by autoists on the highways of the state through the fact that the issuance and suspension of licenses are in his control. Secretary Burnes has had enough cases before him to understand thoroughly that too many accidents are due to the fact that the drivers are under the influence of liquor.
 Thus when he decides to put a stop to such practices and accompanies his determination by the suspending of licenses for indefinite periods it will be generally recognized that he Is wisely administering the duties of his office and making a needed and val uable contribution to safety on the highways.
 The efforts to avoid the penalty are those which are so often advanced fol shedding blame for any act which is committed while under the influence of liquor and 1t is not surprising that the secretary declares he has no pa- tience with the drivers who claim to have been "drinking to an extent or just a little bit before lunch and cannot to save his life explain why Ao oAOuiu nave AoSb So1lIIol o1 lAS car from having taken such a limited amount of liquor."
 Its is the same with the auto driver as it is with others. It is in their interest to remember taking only one glass of beer when as a matter of fact if they were talking among their pals they would be bragging about the dozen or more schooners they had gotten away with, to say nothing about the befuddling mixture which went with them. It is what they do after such indulgence which tells the best story of what they had been drinking and how unfit they were to handle a ear and the state secretary does well sl imposing the penalty which will either put a stop to it or at least essen the number of accidents.

Stories of the War
Fighting Around Loos.

The fighting around Loos where the British succeeded in capturing a part of the foremost positions of the Ger man lines in September is still the subject of descriptive reports in the press. One of the most animated of such descriptions Is from the peh of Bernhard Kellermann. known in America as the author of The Tun- nel"
 He says that after four days of in- conceivably heavy artillery fire the British began a gas attack on the morning of September 25. Four sep arate waves of gas, alternately white and dark gray, were blown forward toward the German lines; and at the same time the British artillery was hurling gas bombs upon the Germans. The latter coughed and held their many fell, unable to resist the fumes. In the midst of all this the Germans were preparing for the expected in fantry attack. Finally the British ap- peared, emerging suddenly as if from nowhere, behind a cloud of gas, and wearing masks They came on in thick lines and storming columns. The first line of the attackers was quickly shot down by the hail of rife and ma- chine gun bullets that rained upon them from the shattered German trenches; the hand grenades especf- ally wrought terrible havoc, some Of them cutting down six or eight men. Tbe dead and wounded soon lay like a wall before the German position. The second and third lines of English suf- fered the same fate. It was estimated that the number of British killed be-

When the New Haven he9lth board tackled the bakeshop question it put up a theoretical score of 101 for per feet cleanliness and ideal conditions, and then visited and inspected all the New Haven bakeries, marking them on this basis. The marks. with the names and addresses of the bakeries were published in the health boards bulletin and in the New Haven pa pers. The bakery men, tfat is, those whose marks were low, hSwled dis malIy at the proceeding, but what is more important, they got busy at once and cleaned their p'aces. As a result, after a second inspection the health board was enabled to give all of them better marks, and in many cases perfect scores were ach eyed. The New Haven health board next tackled. the restaurants of the city, and again, without fear or flaw r, marked them on the basis of cleanli- ness and sanitation. Again there were mutterings. but as in the other instance the restaurant men saw the point and the second inspection show ed a marked improvement. A com- munity is really served by such work on the part of the health board. Only the inspectors of the health board have the power to probe behind the scenes in those places where the pub lies food supply is prepared. The public has a right to feel that its food
