IL is remarkable how the average

example, the recent demonstration in
London. 1t was said tnat there were

easy TO estimate such numbers approx

is the rule as laid down in the Field

States army:

may be estimated from the length Of

HAS KEEN EYE FOR BUSINESS
One English Volunteer Policeman Who
Probably Will Not Lose Much
BY the War.

The foibles of his ally John Bull are
even now not quite invisible to the
Frenchman. And the following story
OF special constable, or volunteer DO
hceman, in London. is related not
without malice by Paris paper. Just
after the last Zeppelin raid, when
the orders against showing lights were
very strict, this special was on duty
IN one of the suburbs. Every time
he saw house that was letting its
lights shine too freely out of it's win

and called the attention OF the house.

ness, he not only called attention to
the badly shaded light, but suggested
q contrivance for subduing the illu-
mination. This contrivance. he said.
he had tried in his own house with
the most satisfactory effect. All with
the most disinterested air imaginable.
His next step was to draw from his
overcoat pocket a sample of the con.
trivance itself, with the remark that
he had just happened to be carrying
1T home to particular friend who
had asked him to procure it. The
result was that at the end of his
tour of duty he had written down in
little note book a couple of hundred
orders for the wonderful shade; which
meant that he was able to collect in
commissions, at the rate OF a shil-
ling a shade, matter of G5, or $25,
or, to put it magniticently in French
coinage, 125 francs.

1t was discovered, however, that this
Stag contained plenty OF silver, which

Consider the Danger.

Continuing the subject of the need
OF censorship OF moving pictures, we
note that DR.. George w. Quick, OF
the First Baptist church OF Green
Vile, preached a special sermon on
the subject last Sunday. You par
ents who allow your children to re-
'ceive all sorts of impressions about
life from the most impressiouable OF
all sources, pictures, should take
some notice OF the danger. Remem-
Der. moving pictures are great edu-
Gators. They can be used to do great
good. But In the desire to produce
"thriliers" and sensational films
some of the products are not just
what small children shouil see.--

PR0L0NG LIFE OF FLOWERS
French Florists Are Particularly
Clever In Their Methods Of
Preservation Of Freshness.

The instruments used by the French
florists to prolong the life of cut flow
ers and remove imperfections are as
numerous and delicate as those on a
well-equipped dressing-table. They in
clude scissors of all sizes and shapes,
small cutting pliers and pincers of
many kinds, brushes, atomizers, sprays
and bottles containing various gums.
A withered leaf or even one poorly de-
veloped ruins the appearance of
rosebud, consequently the one is cut
on, and the other, IL possible, is re-
shaped. The buds are also pierced as
near the base of the flower as possible,
with minute wires which keep the
leaves in place. An instrument very
similar to a curling iron is used to
dress a faulty leaf
One of the means employed to pro-
long the life OF the flower is to remove
the anthers, so as to prevent the
spreading OF the pollen, for. IL fertili
cation is allowed to take place, the
flower has fulfilled it's mission and
soon fades. In flowers of the lily or
der the anthers are removed for still
another reason. They develop such an
abundance Of yellow pollen that 1t
falls and taints the leaves, thus mar
ring the spotless white beauty Of the
flower. The stems Of flowers that be-
gin to hang their heads are placed In
very hot water for about FIVE minutes.
and then are placed in a dark and
cool place for about an hour.

Across the morning red.
Now when / hear that little flute

Each mating little bird.
And in the violets' fragrant bed
There dwells the breath of spring,
That to the peaceful, sleep-bound

New hope and life shall bring.
And when l see the morning red
Faith shows me, clear and bright,
The dawn Of an eternal spring
