For One Million Fighters

From the Detroit Journal
 The Right Rev. Charles D. Williams of Detroit, Episcopal bishop of Michigan
 in an address before the Chamber of Commerce at Cleveland recently, declared for an American army of 1,0000 GOO.
 He declared for the government own ership of all battleship wards and the government manufacture of all munitions and naval ships.
 He urged that the United States keep such an army busy in time of peace building Lincoln highways. Alaska rail- ways. Panama canals and irrigation schemes-on the ground that the. profes- sional soldier, idle, is .'an intolerable snob'
 He declared that the only safe way to Americanize immigrants so that they would be patriots instead of enemies in time of war was to give them an appre ciable stake in the country so they would have something for which to fight, In fact it was the only way to make an effective fighter out of a citizen, native born or immigrant, he said.
 The bishop declared his belief that Germany is in the wrong, but that she has for years taken such good care of her people in a social way they fight for the fatherland. La Belle France he said has her people back of her. because in no country is wealth more generally dis tributed.'
 ''The British masses largely are not loyal because the contrasts of life are more striking there than in any land, save possibly our own United States. When Is men practically own London, and a small percentage of the population own the British Isles, one could expect the Welsh miners to strike in the midst of mining war coal, and one could expect the cockneys to say, Wat of it?' when told The Germans are coming, the speaker said. What England had sent to war were largely her privileged classes, he said On social preparedness the speaker de- clared:
 Here is .be vital point, the paramount need in ol programme of national pre- paredness ysuch a reorganization of our industria Elm as shall open opportunity to the dispcksessed, as shall make America spell liberty to the oppressed, as shall give every man, woman and child a stake | in the country and so turn aliens into 1 patriots"

 In a net little volume which the Rev Wallace Carnahan entities odd Happenings" he relates some very interesting experiences in his clerical life, humorous, as well as grave, mak- ing a most delightful collection of reading matter which is sure to mak e an appeal to the discriminating and appreciative
 In a preface" the author outlines his reasons for writing odd Happen ings," which, in brief is as follows: Many of my friends have been kind enough to express such an interest in some of the episodes in my clerical life that I am led to think that possibly others may care to read this narra- tion of odd happenings in long min istry. And l trust that some of my younger brethren may be helped by reading about my perpleXities. Besides l am impelled to write be- cause I am no longer engaged in reg ular parish work. likeness is intoler- able. I retired from parochial respon- sibility before I felt any serious decay of strength for fear l might eXperi- ence the decay before I should be aware of it. A deplorable spectacle truly! A clergyman worn out in the highest service of his fellow men, his usefulness eparted-still holding on 1 to a charge for which everyone eX- 1 cept himself sees his unfitness; and ] ii is pathetic spectacle if With that 1 blindness to disability there is the spectre of the poorhouse just beyond the last rectory. It is the shame of Christendom that wealthy laymen have not provided adequate pensions for the worn out clergy. I can say this with out indelicacy, inasmuch as I am one of the few old ministers who do not need a pension.
 to provide for old ministers seems to me frightful evidence of the unreality of the religion of many of our rich laymen. I have not told the strangest

THE RIDDLE OF THE NIGHT" By Thomas w. Hanshew. Four illustra-

 In "The Riddle of the Night Thomas W. Hanshew has cast his detective, Hamilton Cleek. for the first and last time in full length novel
 Briefly, the situation is this: Return ing home late at night, the limousine of MT Maverick Narkom Csuperintend- ent of Scotland Yard) is brought up sharp by a shot and the cry of mur- der A brief search leads the superin- tendent to a little brok en down cot tage where a gruesome find is made. There, spiked to the wall with arms outstretched, is the body of an un- known man. A mysterious series or figures and letters is scrawled upon the white shirt front of the victim.
 How Cleek, with the help of Ailsa Lorne and half burned portions of shoe polish label, finally solves the mystery of the murder and of the fig ures on the murdered mans shirt front is the story of "The Riddle of the Night" in which Margot and her gang again play a very important part.

 BUCK PARVIN AND THE MOVIES" By Charles F. Van Loon. George H.
 Doran company, publishers, New
 York
 Charles E. Van Loon, author of but Buck Parvin'' brings the first forth a very interesting novel for the film fans" and it is meeting with tremendous success.
 In ordinary cases the filming of a novel is of no literary importance but "Buck Parcin" brings the first novel for that enormous audience-the movie fan is different. It is the first story in which a skilled craftsman satisfies the curiosty of the fans about the romantic mystery of film making. Hence this story about movies and, in turn. the movies made from the book compose what is perhaps the first eff fort to bride the old art of novels and the new art of movies.
 It is interesting to know that on June 29 1876-six days after Irwin s. Cobb was born in Kentucky-the Justly celebrated light of day as it appears in California saw MT Van Loans birth. This may possibly ex- plain why MT. Cobb and MT. Van Loan are friends. hunting companions and star contributors to the magazines, as we'll as regular book authors Mir Van Loan alleges that the sign of the bull was in the ascendency at the time of their birth

was sporting editor on the Los An geles Examiner. Then for three years on a New York morning paper, he ex- ercised his budding gift for fiction, broke into the magazine game in 1910, and has firmly aided there ever since. During the time of his newspaper work he did weekly letter for the Hearst news service which was syn dicated all over the United States.
 It was during his work as sporting editor that he got the material for the baseball, racing etc, stories that have made him famous, but it is very recently that he has turned to the movies. which he celebrates in Buck Parvin and the Movies" For months he lived with the movie actors and got their lives first-hand

This volume con- tains Dr. Conweu's famous lecture, which helped thousands of lives into success and happiness, and has been source of inspiration for many years. pr. Con wells own career has been so remark able that Robert Shackelton has visited the various localities associated with Con- well and has written the story as he found it.

 Among the many appreciative readers Of pr. Conwell's book is the great mer- chant, Mir John Wanamaker, who has said of it:
 Though Russell H. Conwell's Acres Of Diamonds have been spread all over the United States time and care have made them more valuable, anw now that they have been reset in black and white by their discoverer, they are to be laid in the hands of multitude for their en- richment

Removing Bhthmarks

So many people think that birth
marks are incurable, and suffer
agonies year after year, that it seems
incredible. I knew a woman who
stayed home almost all the time, and
never stirred out until dark, and
then wore a veil TO hide the marks,
until, losing the blessing Of the sun
and the reviTing tonic Of the winds,
she became almost insanely morbid
One day she became violently i'll and
was rushed to a hospital, where a
young doctor undertook to cure her
markings by electricity. He sue
ceeded, and the woman went home
feeling tens Of years younger in
mind and body.
Tattoo marks nav be removed by
tattooing the same places over again
with q solution known TO all doctors.
Powder marks are most easily re-
moved by lancing each mark and ap-
plying a saturated compress OF
peroxide Of hydrogen, which OF
course is merely very good anti
septic.
Cuts, burns and wounds. that leave
unsightly scars are often cured By
having the SCARED skin cut away
and the healthy skin Joined. which
heals often without any mark. If
mark is left, however, the electric
needle cures this. Sometimes birth
marks are cured so. sometimes they
are cured by using a caustic solution.
Moles are treated the same way
often, and poe marks from disease.
