COULD you STAND THE TEsT7
War Correspondent Makes Comparison
Of American Citizens With the
Soldiers Of Europe.

Gentle reader, queries Robert R. Nc.
Cormick in the Century. If you are a
young man of military age, do you feel
that you could stand in your place in
a squad trench and do your duty as
muzhiks and other peasants of mon
archical Europe have frequently done?
My own opinion of you is that you
could not, and my opinion has the
strength of conviction, do not care
whether you are clerk or a college
professor, a lawyer or a laborer.
Suppose you were advancing in open
order of attack. and had reached a
point where, with your captain killed,
your platoon commander wounded.
your fine, unable to go forward. was
lying in the open, and your only chance
for life was to find the range of the
enemy and shoot at him so correctly
\ that he in turn could no longer shoot
correctly at you. Would you listen to
the orders of your corporal? Would
you take the range he gave you, care
fully adjust your sight, and fire every
shot as carefully as If you were tryine
to ring a cane at Coney Island OF
make new step IN a dance? No, you
could not do it, and falling TO do it
you would be killed by some peasant

Care for Your Own Health.

Doctor Krusen, who is in charge Of
the public health department Of Phil
adelphia. recently warned his public
that medicines play really minor
part in the treatment of diseases. and
added:
Tradition, custom, and the 'medi-
cine man have been largely RESPONSE
BILE for the extensive use of drugs.
There are many people who still be-
lieve that illness requires the immedi-
ate use of medicines and that there
are some mysterious or miraculous
qualities in them which drive away
the evil spirits of fever,
'Indiscretion in diet, overdrinking,
careless habits and improper living
cannot be corrected by taking the
contents of the corked medicine bot
tie. AS matter of fact, the number
of drugs which are considered as spe-
cifics for definite diseases may be
counted on the fingers Of one hand.
These are sober words from a sci
entific authority, a man trained in
the use of drugs in the treatment OF
diseases.

Told of Pastors Hardships.

In an address at the West Side
Young Mems Christian association,
Manhattan, recently, Rev. DR.. 8.
Parkes Cadman said that the clerical
profession was criticized frequently,
but it had more brains and less pay
than any other profession, and few
ministers were able to save any
money. no matter how large their sal
aries. which he knew from his own
experience.

Cadman, has a clergy list in his pos
session. and the preacher is the first

Immense RilIhoards,

Future, civic commissions in Argen-
tina will have a heavy task before
them should they attempt to remove
the gigantic billboards with which an
American advertising firm is now dec
Grating their landscape. Arrangements
have been made for the erection of the
largest advertising billboard in the
world 1t will be mile in length and
covered with huge designs of the ar
ticles advertised. No single display
will be less than so yards square and
some of them will be over 100 yards
square Because of its great size the
billboard is being built upon a heavy
steel framework which is set in firm
concrete foundations In addition to
this immense display, near Buenos
Aires, many miles of smaller bill
boards are said to have been con-
tracted for, chiefly by American firms
who take this means of acquaint the
South Americans with their products.

Motor Buses as War Wagons.

The defense of Verdun was planned
and executed en- the supposition that
no railroads were available. Every
move was by motor.
The artillery, big guns and little.
which used to be drawn slowly into

up to their positions mounted bodily
on rapid motor trucks. 1t is quite

There is any number of gayly COL

coats from, like the vivid but pleasing
colors that appear in the striped cot

a combination of white and one color
in plain materials. All the simple,
quickly made decorative stitches are
appropriate in needlework decorations
on these jaunty coats.

a Greek proverb. Ancaeus. an an

gardening, and planted come vines in
his garden. But he was told by a
prophet that he would never taste
wine from them.
Time went, and the wine being duly
made, Ancaeus was lifting a Gun of

tumult was heard outside, and An.

broken in. Hurriedly putting the Gun
down without drinking, he rushed
out to join the hunt against the boar
and was killed. And the prophets re-
mark, turned into a hexameter verse

Every Woman Wants
New french Army tieInlet.


Sixty-four operations are necessary
in making one of the steel helmets
that the French soldiers wear. The
first step, says Pearson's Magazine, is
stamping out disks from great sheets
of steel. A machine that exerts a pres
sure of one hundred and fifty tons,
and can cut out 5000 disks a day,
does that work.
Each disk is placed under a shap-
ing machine, which presses the disk
into the form of a helmet with
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all Irregularities in the
helmet, after which holes are punched
in the crown-some for ventilation
purposes. others for fastening on the
regimental crest.
Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
in a special mixture that makes it
dull, inconspicuous blush gray. A
lining and leather chin straps are
then fastened on. and the helmet is
complete. Since the French troops
have begun to wear helmets the num-
Der of deaths from wounds in the
head has decreased to remarkable
extent.
