WHY NIGHT ATTACKS
 ARE MADE IN SHIRTS

BERLIN: The, Russian general staff reports have frequently men tiored attacks in which the soldiers wore their shirts over their uniform coats. A majority of the readers have puzzled in vain for an answer to why this should be done, and have assumed that it was to help make the attacker invisible against snow.
 Captain Bethold Walter, of the German army, now comes forward with the explanation. The shirts are worn, not to conceal the wearers, but rather so that the attackers may be able to distinguish each other in the darkness and conflict of battle. The custom also is not new, but his- toricaly old.

Bowler Hat.

Although. according to Sir James Linton. the bowler hat was worn by the ancient Greeks. it's beauties were not discovered by Englishmen until about century ago.
 Mrs. A. Nj. W. Stirling. the hiogra- pher of Coke of Norfolk. says that 1t was first made fashionable by Coke's 8 nephew. William Coke. ''who decided that a hat originally designed by Will liam Bowler. halter in the borough. would suit his requirements" To the popularity of Billy Coke is generally ascribed the word "RiIlycork." but Sir James Murray thinks otherwise.

 About two miles from the old mar ket town of Chipping .Sadbury. Eng. land. stands all old time house known as Little Sodbury munor house. which. quite alIurt from its celebrity as one of the oldest examples of domestic ar chitecture ill GlOucestershire. has been justly styled "the birthplace of the English Bible."
 In one of the old rooms William Tyndale. who lived there for two years. conceived the idea and com menced the work of translating the New Testament into English.
 in 1521 Sir John Walsh. owner of the manor house. had need of a chap. lain and tutor for his children. and his choice, fell upon Tyndaie. who had just completed his university career. Tyndale was in great favor with his master. who encouraged him in the great work he had undertaken. .
 It is quite possible that the transIa- tion would have been completed here. but Tyndale. having expressed his opin- ions too freely to the neighboring cler: gy. found himself secretly. charged with heresy' and suminoned to appeur before the chancellor of the diO.ese. Although at the time he was merely admonished. he did not consider 1t safe to continue in the manor house. thereby involving bis patron in dan ger. so he left and proceeded with his translation in I1ondon.-Christian Sci ence Monitor.
