a point of interest in the official
account of the first raid Is the state
ment that it was made by an aero
plane. Heretofore, Germany has re
lied principally on Zeppelins for aerial
attacks on England. or late, how
ever, there has been much discussion
in England of a new type of German
aeroplane, the Fokker, which has
been said to excel the aircraft of the
alliec.
English newspapers stated last
week that the British airmen were
empowered and outengined Harold

cism in the House of Commons. as
serting that the Fokker was we'll

Queenstown, Jan. 24.-The Alan

met with some unknown disaster at
sea during the night several miles
southeast of Fastnet. Wireless mes

not give the cause nor the extent of
the disaster. but report that the ship
is ahcat, has turned back, and will
probably make port today.
Considerable apprehension is felt
because it is known that several Ger

news came. 1t is also stated that
there are several Americans on board.

Love of Ease

What is there about love Of ease
that makes the strenuous one so
wroth? Love of ease is a universal
human trait, and has been so from the
beginning Of time. 1t is the incentive
even of war. Barbarian tribes and ma
lions fight for slaves, and even the
civilized city-states of ancient Greece
made war in order to reduce their cap
tive enemies to bondage and compel
them to do all the work, so that the
conquerors might enjoy lives OF lei
sure. Love Of ease is the handspring
Of nearly all human activities. Men
labor to obtain comforts and luxuries.
II the hope OF enjoying the fruits Of
his work were gone no man would
labor except under ,compulsion OF law
or. o~>n0ceH0ity. He who V~oeifsrates
against love OF ease assAils all man
kind, including himself Philadel.

TALKED WRONG
Argument Included Reference to Mis-
haps and the Deal Was
"Queered."

The motorcar salesman's lack Of
Judgment cost him a sale. He was try
Ing to sell a professional man O. ma
chine, but he handed out the wrong
kind Of talk and "queered" the deal.
His prospective customer had been in
two or three serious motorcar acct
dents while out riding with friends
and really was just a bit timid about
riding in a machine, although to please
his family he had just about made I'D
his mind to buy one. The motorcar
man, with much glibness and effective
ness, presented the various virtues of
his car. Just look at the axle" he
said. when you get in a smashup
that axle, unlike many others, will not
break, but will bend, and so can be
repaired without much expense"
This unfortunate argument spoiled
the sale. 1t aroused the sense Of fear
which the professional man had when
riding in a machine, and he told the
salesman that he guessed he would not
place his order for a machine at that
time.

SICK CHILDREN NOT
WANTED AT SCHOOL.

For the reason that the mingling of

portions, the StateI Board OF Health is
therefore, advising all parents not to
send q sick child to school, not even
if he has nothing more than q run

other socalled trivial ailment. Par
ents are urged to have the familA
physician look over their children and
correct all defects and whatever all
ments may be before school starts.
Especially is this advised where there
has. been no medical supervision pro-
v:ded for the opening of school.
