That Hyphen AGAIN.

Jamie's mother tried hard never to
forget what she was pleased to call
her Scotch descent" Everything
that Jamie wore, if possible, had a
touch of plaid in it. Scotch scenes
and Scotch shortbread were the fam
lily fare. Cold, bare knees the season
through would have been JAMES fate,
If his father had not objected.
Jamie was walking home from the
movies with his father and mother.
1t was bright moonlight, with patches
Of fleecy clouds in the sky.
The tassel on Jamie's little Scotch
cap went fiap-fiap against his back
because he was looking up intently
at the sky.
Mother, look" he exclaimed. IT'S
a beautiful finnan-haddie sky!"
There you are. This is the limit"
said Jamie's father to his mother. Il
guess We better cut out this Scotch
business. Your grandiather's birth
place was safe in the north of Ireland
and there is no doubt about my grand
father-he came from Hamburg.
After this, son, you are an Ameri-
can. And that beautiful sky is a

Bohenia's Lace Industry.

Bohemia's great industry, that Of
lace-making by hand, is not shown by
the returns of declared exports to
this country for two reasons. In the
first place the bulk of the laces is
bought by the visitors at the various
cures and personally carried home,
and. secondly, those obtained by the
representatives of the few large Ameri-
can firms that annually send buyers
there are for the most part shipped
first to London, then from London to
the United States, presumably that all
possible secrecy may be thrown around
the fact that supposedly real Belgian,
French and Italian laces are, in truth,
Bohemian, for, in addition to the typi-
cal Bohemian laces, fine valenciennes,
malines, cluny, etc., are produced, as
are also fine italian laces" which are
ishipped in large quantities to Italy for
1.-THE tourist trade. Some of the finer
Bohemian laces bring as high as 5000
Ia yard. There are some 10000 per.
Isons employed in this work, which is
tentirely home industry and confined
Exclusively to the mountain districts
Men, women and children all make
ilaces; often children as young as
jsix years are skilled workers.

Most Popular Sport In Germany Sur
fers From Lack Of Leather
and Players

Football, the most popular sport In
Germany, has suffered great limita-
lions on account of the war, not only
because many players, and particular
ly home celebrities. are at the front,
but also because sporting goods are
hard to get. Since all leather is be-
ing used for military purposes, very
little of II is available for footballs.
Several makers of footballs have
agreed, however, to furnish footballs
for the next few months at prices
about thirty per cent above former fig
ures. This slight increase is not in
proportion to the actual cost, but 1t is
the desire to enable players to keep up
the healthful exercise. This sacrifice
on the part of the football makers,
which affects IA firms, is highly appre-
ciated. Bladders for footballs have
also increased In price, as all rubber
has been confiscated.
The German sporting goods indus.
try has kept up with the demand of
the eyer.growing German athletic en-
deavors. and has reached degree of
perfection that establishes independ.
ence Of England in this respect.
So far the American manufacturers
Of sporting goods have not appeared
on the German market.

Little Change In Warfare.

Contemporaries have always men
toned the singular gravity of Napoleon.
He could be expansive and even gay in
youthful society-when he was himself
young-but the mood never lasted, and
historians mention his somberness in
the Italian campaign when he was only
twenty-six years old. The solemn pro-
fundity and f1xity of his gaze always
struck the stranger. He made himself
respected and a little feared even by
his friends. His art, Of course, was
different from the art Of today, for his
battles were won with army corps In
stead Of armies, as we now account
them. But at bottom, warfare Is al
ways the same. Joffre and Napoleon
have this in common-that the smile
of both is particularly kind and engag-
ing, and they praise freely those who
have done well.

Brave Captain inserted Himself In
Rent In Steamers Side and
Saved Craft.

When news of the heroic exploit of
Skipper Hi" Sooey OF the good ship
Henry Summers reaches the British
shores. the admiralty will undoubtedly
seek out Skipper Sooey for special
service in the submarine zone, accord
ing to the New York correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Times-Star. For Here
is a skipper who saved his ship from
certain loss, under circumstances
closely approaching those Of the sub
marine assault, and did it not only
personally and unaided, but distinctly
in person and by that means alone.
Though not an imposing craft, the
Henry Summers is we'll and more or
less favorably know. She-applying
the romantic Technology Of the sea
to the Henry Summers-takes people
down to the fishing banks to catch
fish, or, at least, to spend the day
trying. Her personnel, in active serv-
ice, consists of Skipper ISL and the
cook and crew, whose name is bill"
Coming up the East river, after a sue
cessful trip to the banks, having dis
charged her cargo Of fish, fishermen,
bait and bottles at the Battery, the
Henry Summers hit something. II 1t
was a floating mine or q torpedo It
failed to explode. 1t merely made
in the side of the Henry Summers
Just at the water line Skipper "Sr
Sooey, at the helm, exclaimed. "Look't
that, cash d-u-r.n it," The cook and
crew were asleep forward. Skipper
Sooey sounded the call for all hands
on deck in every urgent manner known
to maritime usage aboard the Henry
Summers. The cook and crew slept
peacefully on. The East river con-
tinued to come in through the hole.
The cockpit Of the Henry Summers
was quickly knee deep with water,
and her stern began to settle. The
situation was desperate, but Skipper
"Sf' Sooey was there to face It, Or
perhaps 1t would be better to say
to show the stun he was made Of He
pulled lantern to the mast head, re-
versed his engine, dashed his wheel
and inserted his substantial person
snugly into the rent In the good ship
Henry Summers side. Then, as the
Henry Summers backed swiftly down
the tide, the skipper did all that he
could, vocally. to make up for the lack
Of steam siren In the equipment Of
the Henry Summers. At the foot of
East Tenth street police launch came
alongside and its crew pried Skipper
''Si' from the leak. He was SILVER
ing and exhausted, but the good ship
was saved. The police launch towed
her ashore before she could founder.
And Skipper 81" being much in need
of brisk and warming exercise, woke
up the cook and crew quite thor
oughly.
