Wanted PenneII In the Trenches

How am I to give really vivid
picture of trench life as l saw it for
the first time? How make it live for
others, when l remember that the
many descriptive accounts have read
In England, many of them the letters
of soldiers, did not in the least visual
lie 1t for me? I watched the flares
rising from the German lines, watched
them burst into points of light over
the desolate country called No-Man's-
Land and drift slowly down. And
watched the shadows rush back again
like the very wind of darkness. /
wished that Joseph Pennell might see
something Of this fascinating night
life. 1t seemed to me that he would
be able to catch the beaatty Of it with
his blacks and whites, make it real
for the world, which viii never see

which was my own first glimmering
realization Of the tremendous sadness,
the awful futility of war.-James Nor

All Romance Has Departed From Mod

Big Vessels.

Somewhere in the North sea aboard

the same affair as stumbling into a
trst-class trench in Flanders. It is.
wrote Henry Suydam in the Brooklyn
Eagle, twice as interesting and only

aboard this ship in the Dogger bank
light insist that a modern naval bat
tie, with the enemy eight or ten miles
on down on the horizon, is a most i'm
personal sort of combat, but they have
never stood all day in a trench peer
ing through periscope and wonder
ing just what German really does
look like. Moreover, aboard a first
line battle cruiser, the turret lieuten-
ant insists upon showing you his guns,
while in first line trench the battery

Manipulating a big gun in the tur-

In trench warfare you can hear the
shell coming in time to step out of it's

Arctic Adventure Overlooked.

In saying that Bradley Land has
already appealed to one explorer, /
must tell briefly of an attempt to
reach it which was made in 1914 and
1915 by Messrs Rudolph FRANKIE and
Arthur Hack and which failed partly
on account of unusual ice conditions.
They sailed from Quebec on July 4,
1914, on the s. s. Guide, with the
Canadian arctic explorer and fur
trader, Capt J. Bernier, who agreed
to leave them at the entrance of Jones
sound. On account of bad ice, they
were unable to reach either Etah or
Jones sound. After summer spent
In fighting the ice foes of Baf1n bay,
they were finally nipped just south of
the entrance of Lancaster sound and
forced to winter there. While out
hunting one day great blizzard came
on In which Mr.. Hack was frozen to
death. This ended Mr.. Franke's hopes
of trying to reach Bradley Land and
he returned to Quebec with Captain
Bernier to find himself a prisoner of
war, a unique ending to an arctic voy-
age of exploration.-From a Letter by
Edwin Swift Balch in Scientific Amer

Germanv,a rraIned Mar

Here is the list in the logical order
which the Germans considered in max
ing war science, remarks the En-
cheering Magazine: ~ investiga-
ton, finding out what to do; (2) or
ganization, building the machine that
would properly carry out what should
be done; 90 records, gathering facts
and statistics to be used by this or
ganization in arriving at the right
kind of conclusions in carrying out
what should be done; "a planning,
logically arranging and co-ordinating
all details so that the various steps
can be rapidly and efficiently carried
out; (5) standardization, carrying out
the steps determined or actually do
ing the work in proper manner; (6)
incentives, the results of the success
full application of the other five.
In other words, the Germans real
lied that to win the rewards of war
the actual work would have to be
done properly by well trained men,
after the most careful kind of plan,
ming, based on and, as indicated by
records, secured through an efficient
organization, which thoroughly inves-
tigated every possible feature in con-
nection with the task ahead of 1t.

women,s Clubs In Yucatan.

In the state of Yucatan, under the
civil and political liberties granted by
Governor Alvarado, the women have
thrown OF the shackles. A congress
of women was recently held at Merida,
capital of Yucatan. More than 700
delegates were In attendance. The
discussion covered educational, social
and religious progress. At this con-
gress q movement was inaugurated
for the establishment of many new
schools in the more remote localities
Of the state. The women of the cit
les, towns and rural communities are
to be organized into clubs for the
purpose Of aiding in the uplift plan.
It is claimed that the women of
Yucatan are as a class more highly
educated than those of any other state
Of Mexico. Many of the Weather
families educate their daughters in
Europe and the United States and
1t is this advanced element of soci-
ETY. that is leading in the movement
to obtain reforms in the educational,
social and religious systems of their
native country.

Two AmerIcana RrItIsh pesrs

William Waldorf Astor is not the
only living American-born British
peer. Francis Allston Charming.
whose earliest years were spent in
Massachusetts,, was created a baronet
In 1902, and was elevated to the peer
age in 1912, when he become Baron
Charming. He was born in this coun-
try March 81, 1841. His father, Rev.
w. H. Claiming, closed his pastorate
in Cincinnati that year and moved to
Boston. In 1862 he succeeded James
Martineau as pastor of the Hope street
chapel in Liverpool, and although the
last years of the Civil war saw him
back in America, serving as the chap
lain of the national senate, he re-
manned in England for practically the
rest Of his life. Francis AlIston Chan
ming was educated at Oxford, and has
had distinguished, though not a con-
spicuous career, both at Oxford and
in English public life.

Safety Ladder.

zeppelins are usually as long as
ocean liners-560 feet and more. A
Zeppelin only 236 feet long is described
in Popular Science. This pygmy air
ship, which is being constructed in
England by group of American en-

minum, as is the case with almost
every successful dirigible.
A comb has been made, by means of
which man may cut his own hair. 1t
is designed on the principle of safety
razor. Holding the comb close to the
head results in close cut, holding it
at wider angle, in longer cut.
A ladder is now in use which is per-
fectly safe when standing at any angle.

like mules feet, and since the rubber
is slightly cupped, it prevents slip

1t was three weeks since Jim Kear-

Jim Kearney was bad lot, and he
made his wife and child wretched.
But at length he had come to see
the fruitlessness of his life, the i'm

WORRY CALLED A SIN
MINISTER STRONG IN coNDEMNA.
TON OF BAD HABIT.
Really Amounts to Disease When One
Has Long Allowed Himself to In
duIge 1t Religious Belief
Pointed Out as Cure.

mo more fatal habit ever attacked
the human family than worry" said
Rt Rev. Bishop Charles e. Woodcock
during recent sermon, according to
the Minneapolis Journal. 81 can think
OF no more deadly drug, can think of
no suicide more real. and, perhaps,
when we consider its effects, there are
very few sins which are greater"
Bishop Woodcock gave a vivid word
picture of the uselessness and evil eff
fects of worry, diagnosing it as dis
ease and concluding by prescribing a
remedy. The remedy he found in his
text. Casting all your care upon him,
for he careth for thee" He spoke In
part as follows:
Some people continually get their
life out Of focus. They bother them
selves almost to death about ephemer-
al things. They put their troubles be-
tween God and themselves, instead of
putting God between themselves and
their troubles.
Not only is worry a sin-it Is a
disease. The sufferer worries about
anything and everything until he wor-
ries because he has nothing to worry
about. There is no personal weak
ness which is greater than the consti-
tutional habit of worrying. There is
a great distinction between worry and
care and proper anxiety. Worry is
something that you add to care and
anxiety until you haven't time to do
anything else. People who really are
: doing something haven't time to wor-
~.
Worry poisons the blood, hardens
the arteries, impairs digestion and de-
stroys health. 1t poisons every bless
ing, assassinates every hope, dims
every splendor and profanes every
bright prospect. No one ever heard of
single thing that worry ever helped.
1t never inspired single hope or Gro
ated single success. 1t is populating
our Warehouses and our sanatoriums
for the nervously broken down.
Most worries are by anticipation.
1t is sin because 1t means a waste
Of life. 1t is just as controllable as
the drink and drug habit. 1t has the
same effect on life and character that
dissipation has. It Is no more sinful
to drink yourself into the gutter than
to worry yourself into the grave. You
won't be asked how you wasted your
life. but why you wasted your life.
There is a cure for worry, and the
remedy is absolutely sure and simple.
1t is this: Every day has its cares
from below and its help from above.
You join the care from below with the
help from above and there is nothing
in human history that you cannot take
up and bear and fulfill Reach up to
meet your helper and get up above
yourself and your cares Cast your
care upon him, for he cares for you"
