Repairing Steel Rods.

A broken steel rod may frequently
be repaired by IA very simple process.
Usually the ends of the tube where
broken have become somewhat
pinched or distorted. If this is the
case insert the tang of a file or any
other convenient tool in the opening
II by trimming around and around
the circular croSS-Section can be re-
stored. A pair of pliers judiciously
used may help in this operation. Then
with the file smooth the face of the
break square across. Take a piece
of wire slightly larger than the in
terror of the tube and file it to a tight
fit. Heat the broken end of the tube
so as to expand it slightly. 1t need
not be heated so much as to destroy
the temper. A very moderate heat will
expand it considerably. Warm one
end of the prepared wire. Cover it
with a bit of solder and while the lat
ter is still soft push the wire down
into the tube for half its length. Re
peat with the other side of the break.
A drop of the solder run around where
the two ends of the break come to-
gether will make all smooth and com
plete the repairs.-Outer'S Book.

From the Top of a Hill.

Never shall / forget the panorama
that spread before us. The four thin
ranks of the second company seemed
to stagger drunkenly through a sea
of green fire and smoke. One moment
gaps showed in the lines, only to be
closed again as the e a files spurted.
Undoubtedly they ran at top speed,
but to us watchers they seemed to
crawl, and at times almost to stop.
Mixed in with the dark green of the
grass covering the valley were rows
of lighter color, telling Of the men who
fell in that mad sprint. The cOntin-
uous bombardment sounded like a
giant drum beating an incredibly swift
r%ata-plan. Along the whole length of
u hill this curtain of shells was
dropping, leveling the forest, and
seemingly beating off the very face of
the hill itself, clear down to the bot
tom Of the valley. Owing to the prox-
unity of our troops to the enemy's bat
~teries, we received hardly any support
from our W big guns, and the role
Of the combatants was entirely re-
versed. The Germans had their in
nings then, and full well they worked

Feathered Refugees.

Never has Paris seen so many swal-
lows as have appeared since the war
began. Everywhere one sees ~hem-
among trees on the b~oulevards, in the
public gardens, flying about the gar
goyles of Notre Dame. 1t is strange
to see these birds, whom one associ-
ateS with fields and the plain country.
darting in and out among the traffic
of Il city's streets; they do not seem
to belong, as an American said to me.
They are refugees of the air, chased
from their ancient haunts by the roar
ct cannon and the noise of battle in
Belgium and the north of France.
When the cry of the northern spring
brought them back from their Pilgrim
age in sunny lands, it was to find
their old nests destroyed, their old
landmarks lost, and in the air a hor-
rid clamor of terrifying sounds. So
they emigrated en- masse, and MANY
thousands of them have found a new
home in green Paris Of the trees.

QUEER QUALITY OF MODESTY
Little Dissertation on One Of the
Strangest Attributes Known to the
Human Race.

ModeSty is a quality mainly notice.
able in folks who would lose bv bay-
ing attention called to themselves.
The most modest man we know has
two or three other names on his wait
ing list, and there are, oh! so many
places he can't go at all.
Greatness is characterized bv q fem
dency to efface oneself. This is true of
great modesty also. The man we know
who claims the most modesty has one
of the sorts of modeSty that has eff
faced itself so utterly it must be very
great modesty. One wouldn't notice
that mans modesty at all unless ones
attention were called to it, as it is sure
to be by the owner thereof.
The girl with ankles too thick or too
thin is modest about them. She doesn't
care much what color of hose she
wears, and she keeps her skirts low.
Also, if her neck and shoulders are
scrawny she thinks these
struggle-and-I-am-free gowns are i'm
modest. In fact, she is sure of it. We
have it on good authority that the
homeliest of the Turkish women are
the ones who manage to maintain the
custom of going about yelled to the
eyes.
Animals are not expected to he mod
est, and think nothing about those
things, so they are comparatively
happy. They escape modesty while
they i've and hell when they die.
Some people are not modest about
telling Of their ability, but are extreme
ly modest about displaying it after
they get the job. Their modesty van
ishes again, temporarily, at each pay
day.
Synonyms for mOdesty are self-de-
Tense, timidity, laziness, hope-of-at-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. oneself : by pre-
tending-tO-be-so, etc.
We know absolutely nothing of mod
esty, except by hearsay.-Judge.

Nettleton Public Schools
Health Week

NettletOn, Nov. 13-An eX-
tended health campaign has been
correlated with the regular work
of our schools for the past two
weeks. The original idea of the
whole campaign was to stress
the Importance of health, how to
stay healthy, and how to prevent
disease as we'll as to know some
thing of leach of the more com
mon diseases.
To Begin with, twenty large
posters 16x24 inches were pre-
pared beforehand. The artistic
talent of the high school was
brought into use in order to pre-
pare this part of the program.
The students rendered invaluable
aid in tpresenting this feature.
These posters prepared under
supervision, bore the.best rules,
precepts and pamphlets that
could be gathered from our own
State Board as we'll as from 9TH
err schools and boards. DO not
put your pencil in your mouth or
wet it from your lips" do not
wet your tsafngerssfrom your
mouth to turn the leaves ,,ssof a
book or to handle any object !"
Long, lusty laughs sAlengthen
life" Don't gigele at ALL"
These were kept before the class
es for one entire week.
Every spelling class in the en-
tire school spelled health words
for one week-all from the san e
list. Each mathematics class
had one. health problem q day
for a week along with tie
regular lessons. The history
classes had for a correlated pro-
gram: The plague of Egypt"
yellow fever epidemics'' of Mis-
sissippi," "Beubonic plague"
The plague of London" In
geography we studied The
cleaning up of Panama" All
of our composition work was
along health lines-"We need
medical inspection in N%ettleton
Schools, Sources of danger and
prevention of dust in the school
ROOM" Typhoid fever, its caus-
es and prevention" The need
of the individual drinking cup"
The local physicians, the coun.
ty health officer and a visitor
gave US Itheir most heartilyaap-
preciateds support, ! as we'll as
some ofstheir time. The morn
ing exercise period was given
over to each of them. The
speakers and their subjects, were
as follows: !Dr. C. B.sMcCown,

William Fox, the master producer of feature films, has made stars before.

At The Plaza

Variations of the eternal triangle are found in scores of dramas and photo- plays. It is a problem that has pro found interest for all and one that never fails to enthrall with its ramifi- cations. The theme is not new, but the treatment of it in the ThanhOuser three reel feature that comes to the Plaza today is both original and ar tistic. The story tells of Miriam Ken nerly, wife of John, a man so ab- sorbed in business that he neglects his wife. When he is unable to attend a reception she is giving. she is sure his love for her has ceased to be. During the reception John returns and hears his wife in a secluded corner, give her promise to an interloper to see him the following day John arranges a cruise in his yacht and includes the interloper among the guests. The de- velopment of this plot from this on, is stirring Nellie Valkyrien (Countess DeNitz) is the star as Miriam Ken nerly.

 Whispering Smith is a railroad detective. Not one of the story book sleuths but a real flesh and blood de- tective, who has work to do with a clever lot of criminals who think the railroad legitimate prey and who take long chances to rob and hinder the big railroads. Into this story Helen Holmes who has no equal as a daring picture heroine, is worked in, as the erst- while sweet heart of the detective, who | has a time catching the crooks because 1 his girl is in league with culprits.
