WOMEN HAVE RIGHT
 TO USE POWDER
PREACHER SAYS BEAUTY IS DUTY OF WOMEN, BUT SHOULD BE
 FRANK ABOUT TT.

pr. Philip Cone Fletcher, pulpit orator of Texarkana, Tex. and fla nous throughout the country as the originator of "Cozy Corners for Court ing Couples" has just arrived here with his ever interesting views on beauty, modesty, paint and feathers, and taste in dress. specially as ap- piled to the female of the species, says the Lost Angeles Times of Oct. 18th.
 Modesty. Dr. Fletcher declares, is fast becoming a lost art. So is blush ing But while rather positive in some of his beliefs, he holds that the use of powder and paint by women is justi- fed
 With women,' he said, beauty is duty, and a woman has a right to use paint and powder if she needs them to make her more frank about it. Ugliness in woman is a sin in an age like this"
 While pastor of the First Methodist Church in St Louis, Dr. Fletcher open ed room for courting couples in the church. He is a strong advocate of woman suffrage.

REPORTED SHOCKING
GERMAN CORRESPONDENT DE- SCRIBES AN AWFUL SLAUGH-
 TER ON SOMME FRONT.

According to detailed reports about recent fighting on the Somme front, the attacks by the allies on the Ger man lines, must be reckoned among the greatest actions of the whole Son. me battles
 Speaking Of the attacks on October r, 9 correspondent of one of the Der lin newspapers, says:
 The defenders of the Somme front had thought it impossible that the vio- fence of the artillery fire in the great attack early in October could be ex- ceeded, but nevertheless even this was surpassed. In spite of the ter rife hail of iron the British and French did not succeed in reducing the German positions to such an ex- tent that they could be stormed French and British infantry in com pact waves charged the German positions, but were speedily brought 10 a standstill by the German curtain of fire.
 Notwithstanding their heavy loss es they attempted one attack after another. Near Sailly-Saillisel, six charges were made. All failed com pletely, with the heaviest losses foI the enemy. German infantry left theil shelters and, standing in the open shot down the enemy columns with rifles and machine guns"

T0rped0es With Ears
 VIII Follow Sounds

Torpedoes with ears so tuned that enemy ships cannot escape their dead Iy wake are soon to be available for the use of the United States govern ment. Montraville NJ. Wood, the in- ventor, lives in Berwyn, a suburb of Chicago, and talks interestingly of his latest scientific creation.
 "Tn the present war" states the in
 ventor, hundreds of valuable tor pedoes have been picked up at sea af- ter being lodged by enemy ships. My torpedo is so equipped that it will fol- low the sound of the ship with whose propeller it is tuned If the pursued ship changes it's course the ears Of the torpedo follow the sound and re- main on the trail. If the pursued ship sees the torpedo and stops to allow it to pass then the torpedo halts, for the torpedo's propeller operation is governed by the sound from the boat which it trails"
 To prevent the confscation of uneX- ploded torpedoes Woods invention is so perfected that when it's propeller stops the torpedo drops to a depth of 100 feet or more. There it remains until the propeller is started again by the activity of the ship for which it is intended In such case the tor pedo comes to within three feet of the surface of the water and gives chase in the direction indicated by the tor i pedos ears.
 The Wood torpedo is divided into three sections. The first contains a chamber for explosives. The second or middle section contains what MT. Wood calls the "brains" In the third section is the torpedo engine.
 In a chautauqua tour which MT. | Wood recently completed he exhibited torpedo weighing sixty-fve pounds and valued at $2,200 not loaded This, he states, is the average cost of tor pedoes in use in the European war.

and were preparing to ask them some
questions when Fred in innocence and
with pointing hand said: George,
what did you kill my mother for?"
George hung his head and failed to
answer. The officials we're quick to
follow the lead and asked Fred how
George happened to kill his mother
and the little chap said:
George killed her with gun"
The eight-year-old lad when asked

brother we're true admitted them. He
said that he was playing with the gun
and did not know that it was loaded.
He pulled the trigger back and the
contents of the gun entered his moth
er's head.
