"A NEW BRAND OF LOVE MAKING NEEDED"
SAYS Lillian BELL TO ENGAGED GIRLS

TO ENGAGED GlkLS
wanting to hold hands and talking
about getting married.
Love is a delicate, valuable thing.
It holds life makes life
worth living. The life which has no
love in it is not life at ALT is a bare
existence.
So love must be MADE. And to
make love means that you must 50
study yohr sweetheart's mental needs
that you will make your own way Of
supplying them actually indispensable
to her.
Make such sensible love to her
that no other men could copy your
method nor get her away from you
if he tried.
It almost makes me weep when
think what a chance a clever man has
to distinguish himself in this line and
how he never seems to avail himself
of it.
Most men think that companion
ship is all that is necessary. The girl
seems to like it, and it saves a lot Of
bother not to have to fuss around and
think thoughts and make remarks at
night which sound idiOtic by daylight.
If I were man, think would
make it my business to invent, copy
right and trademark an entirely new
brand of love making necessar-
lily highbrOw but certainly high class.
There is a difference.
A man will cudgel his brains, lose
sleep and risk his last dollar to get
out a new line in business that
beats all his friends and keeps his
competitors guessing, yet he will use
an old line of lOvemaking, which was
obsolete when Noah built the ark.
In fact love isn't made any more.

URGES VALUE OF HOSPITAL
Medical Expert Declares Mother Love
Cannot Take the Place Of the
Trained Nurse.

"Skillful home nursing is a great
blessing says DR.. H. W. Hill of the
Minnesota Public Health association.
Everyone wishes that every mother
might be a skilled nurse, for such serv-
ices are required at least three to four
times by each child for serious infec-
tions as we'll as for many minor trou-
bles. But skillful nursing in the home
is beyond most mothers, despite all
loving desire to doxhe best for their
sick ones 4 :
when actual knowledge of the care
Of really sick persons is needed, and
especially where infectious cases are
concerned, not only is the average
mothers" training insufficient for the
patients best welfare, but lack Of
practice as well as inexperience tells
heavily on the mother in her efforts
to prevent the spread of infection to
others. A trained nurse is invaluable
in such cases, but even better is 1t
that the sick one should be removed
to a hospital. This is especially true
for the patient. suffering from tubercu.
losis, and avoids danger to the other
members Of the family as we'll"

All the Devastation Of War Has Not
Caused French to Deviate From
Regular Ways.

II was Carlyle, we believe, who re-
marked the narrow orbit of great
events. While mobs were tearing at
the stones of the Bastile, groups Of
men in other parts Of Paris haggled
over copper coins, quarreled over the
depredations of house cats, discussed
poetry and philosophy or matched pre-
dictions on the weather. The fall Of
the Bastile was to echo down the ages.
But the world Of accustomed ways con.
tinued its way unchecked.
An American, lately returned from
Europe, reports that the most ast0nish.
ing thing about the wal to him was
the absence Of signs Of war.

not know that war was in the country
you would never suspect it unless you

easier to make sales for export at

are light in all western and scaboard

AVIAT0RS Can
fATH0M DEPTHS
Believe Aircraft Will Be of Much
Service in Locating Sub
marines in Future.

+ Paris, March 10.-lt has been prov
ed that aviators from a considerable
height can see further into the depths
of the sea than when they are flying
near the surface, according to Vim
cente Vesa, an authority. who has
been discussing the subject Of the
aeroplane against the submarine.
Saw Submarine. =
Bleriot,. after his first crossing of
the channel in an .aeroplane, in 1909,
said that when he was approaching
the English coast he was startled by
a most unexpected spectacle. Look
ing straight down into the sea he saw
what he at first took to be a school
of whales swimming in line at a con
siderable depth, The line was fanked
on either side by two torpedo boats.
and further inspection convinced him
that the great fishes were submarines
escorted by torpedo boats maneuver-
ing in the channel.
Another aviator who flew over the
sea near the mouth of the Seine in
1911 declared that he distinguished
clearly the bottom Of the sea with
it's banks of sand. rocks and varia-
tions of formation. .
Must Gauge Speed.
A writer in the Impartial Of Madrid
calls attention to the greater advan-
tages of the aeroplane over the sub
mrniae as compared with war YES
sells. A submarine cannot torpedo an
aeroplane, while the latter may fol-
low his antagonist and dive close to
the surface if necessary without the
slightest danger from a submerged
vessel; on the other hand, the slight
est breach in the submarine shell by
a projectile dropped by the air craft
may he fatal; In4order' to use its
small guns effectively the submarine
must come to the surface, increasing
the chances Of being hit.
IA French airman says that If the
aeroplane has not done remarkably
efficient work in fighting the subma-
rine it is largely due to the difficulty
of gauging the comparative speed of
the two craft.
