MYSTERY OF THE BLACK COW
ingenious Example OF Means Used by
German Scouts in France for Com.
muncatin9 Information.

A particularly ingenious example
of the methods employed by German
scouts in France for communicating
information to their troops has been
reported from France. 1t appears
that the German intelligence depart
ment took an idea or two from the
gypsies, who have a code of signs
that they write on walls and fences
as they pass along, for the informa-
ton Of other members of their clan.
A favorite sign with the Germans
has been black COW. That animal,
roughly sketehed in black crayon on
walls, gates and fences, was fire.
quently noticed by the French as
they passed, and was so crudely
drawn that at first it aroused no sus-
picion. Sometimes it was small,
sometimes large, now rampant, now
couchant, and often the horns were
rldlculously long in comparison with
the rest Of the animal. But it was
not case of bad drawing. The only
things that mattered were the size
and the direction in which it faced.
The French officers discovered the
secret of this system of signals.
A little COW signifed that the road
was only weakly defended; moder-
ate-sized COW meant that the allied
troops were in the neighborhood; a
large COW was a warning that there
were earthworks or trenches near by.
The direction in which the cows
head pointed indicated where the
danger lay. If it pointed into the
air, that meant that the Germans
had better reconnoiter the ground by
aeroplane before advancing.

HAPPiEST MAN MOST HONEST
He Has No Bad Habits and So He Is
Always Prosperous-He Works
for Good Living.

We have noticed the happiest man
many a time. He works for his liv-
ing and he gets good one. One
thing we notice is he is a man Of
fine habits; doesn't squander a cent
on liquor, tobacco or betting. He
saves his money and is getting ready
to buy some property. He loves his
home, plays with the children, reads
good books and keeps company with
his wife. Because of his good habits
he saves little, which will give him
a chance to make an investment.
And then there is another thing
he is reliable man. He does good
work. He will not smooth over bad
work. He is honest in whatever he
does. Every dollar he gets represents
just that much Of honest labor. 1t is
this, largely, that makes him pros
porous and happy.
Water keeps its own level, and 50
does conduct and character and pros
perity. If a man is mean and low,
so will the consequences be. He can.
not be one thing and his experience
another. A low-lived man may grow
rich and happy, but it will not be
for long. Anybody can tell what's
the matter with a man if he is with
him day; he will soon see if the
other is a spleen, stomach, an up
lift or a hope.-Ohio State Journal

GIRLS, CULTIVATE A SMILE
Pleasant Expression Will Bring Young
Women From Ranks Of Painness
to Heights Of Beauty.

Cultivate YOUR smiles unceaSinglv ",
girls. this does not mean that vou
must sit in street cars wearing an
insipld grin. Not at all 1t does
not even mean that you must actu-
ally smile in the literal sense Of the
word. But your expression can be
smiling without your lips being part
ed at all. If you are thinking about
pleasant occurrences your mouth will
turn up at the corners and your eyes
will sparkle, quite naturally and
without any effort.
This will keep your face attractive
and youthful, even when you have
passed the borders Of youth itself. If
YOU wish to retain your beauty as
long as possible, don't form the habit
of letting your lips droop and all
your face muscles sag downward
when your face is in repose.
Just stand before the mirror and
pull your lines down to get the eff
feet. Draw your mouth down and
scowl bit and you will see just how
ugly those dropping lines can make
You look. Then smile, not artifcially
but naturally, just little around the
lips, but great deal in the eyes, and
YOU will see how pretty you can ap-
pear.
If every woman realized how much
harm she is doing to herself when she
sits with her face muscles all relaxed
and dropping she would try the smile
cure for ugly lines. The smile can
bring about magical results in lift
ing girl from the ranks of plain
ness to the heights Of actual beauty.
