KAVALA BONE OF CONTENTION
Greece and Bulgaria Have Been Tor
Many Centuries at Odds Over
This Port.

Kavala, the Greek port where, Il
appears, new allied expedition is to
be landed, has long figured conspicu-
ously in Balkan disputes and for a
double reason. 1t happens that the
welter of races which makes the di-
vision of Macedonia everywhere diff
cult is absolutely inextricable at Ka-
vala, and that the town is of much
commercial importance as the center
of the district in which the very best
Turkish" tobacco is grown. Conse-
quently whenever Greek and Bulgar
have cleaned the slate of acrimonious
questions there always is the standing
grievance of Kavala to keep them
asunder It was the Greek kings re-
fusal to approve the proposed cession
of Kavala to Bulgaria that caused the
first resignation of the Venizelos min
istry and dashed the hopes of the al
lies for a new Balkan league. Kavala
is famous for a landing of quite a diff
ferent nature from that now imminent.

College Women War Workers.

There are nearly 10000 highly edu.
Gated women in England who have
registered Tor war work under the
Federation of University Women.
Among the new positions open to edu-
Gated women that have been supplied
by the federation are the post of
craftsman in an aeroplane factory, due
to a knowledge of the higher mathe-
mates; of expert accountant in an
insurance office, because of clever.
ness at figures and supervisorships in
munition factories given to trained
special workers. A good part of the
women registering have offered their
spare time only. and it is hard to find
jobs for those wanting to work por.
lions Of days or alternate days. The
secretary Of the federation explains
also that employers whose male work.
ers have enlisted have a tendency to
undercut the old wage. and these
women do not wish to shave the
wages OF the men.

TEE SERVES DOUBLE PURPOSE
Ingenious Inventor Has Come to the
Front With an Idea That Is
Really Remarkable.

Among the hundreds of patents is
sued every week occasionally one
stands out above all others as being
entertainingly original and ingenious
Such a patent is one issued recently
for a golf tee. 1t is intended that the
tee shall be shattered to tiny frag-
ments when the ball is struck, and to
act as a fertilizer after having been
broken.
The tee is manufactured in a con-
ical shape with a cupped top, into
which the ball fits. 1t is made of green
gelatin, so that, contrary to the con-
dition which exists in the paper and
rubber tees, the golfer can keep his
eye on the ball without the usual dis
traction. When the club strikes the
ball the gelatin tee is simultaneously
struck and shattered to a veritable
powder. These small, green frag-
ments scatter on the grass and are
dissolved at the earliest rain.
AS gelatin is an excellent fertilizer,
the shattered tee serves a very useful
secondary purpose.-Popular Science
Monthly.

How Germans Aid French.

One of the newest French bomb
throwers is as simple as the brass
guns that small boys delight to play
with. 1t consists of a German shrap-
mel shell case mounted on a wooden
stand with a spike in front to anchor
it firmly to the ground. The case Of
the shraphel remains intact after it
has been fired, as it's object is to act
like a small cannon; it's end opens
and the shrapnel with which it is
filed is driven out by a charge of
powder at the bottom of the case.
These shell cases are carefully picked
up by the French to be used against
the enemy. They are cut down, and
a touchhole is bored in them. The
cost of the finished bomb-throwNer is
but little over one dollar, and it's
weight is negligible, while a great
number of them may be turned out
without the slightest difficulty. To
use them a charge of powder is poured
into the shell case, and bomb, we'll
loaded with explosives, is placed upon
it. The charge is fired by the touch
hole. and the bomb is thrown into the
air. 1t turns clumsily over and over
like a large sausage. but it finds its
target with remarkable accuracy.

RUSSIA TO DOMINATE WORLD
Scotch Scientist Sees Wonderful Fu-
ture for the Colossus Of the
Shows

THE twentieth century" says
Charles Sarolea, in Everyman, will
be the century of the Russian" Mr..
Sarolea is professor of modern Ian
guages in the University Of Edinburgh.
He has travelled in Russia and made
special study of its languages and it's
peoples. He says: Notwithstanding
war and famine, plague and disease.
every year 100000 of souls are add
ed to the Russian empire. Every year
thousands of square miles are opened
to agriculture and industry. Moral and
intellectual progress have been enor-
nous. Fifty years ago SO per cent of
the people were still stepped in gross
ignorance, 80 per cent were still liv-
ing in state of serfdom. The ukase
of Alexander II accomplished with
stroke of the pen what it took western
nations loco years of Christianity and
of revolution to achieve. Today, less
than two generations after the enamel
patton, Russia is taking leading part
in many OF the arts of peace, in many
of the higher activities of man. She
has given a Verestchagin to painting,
a Mendelieff to science, a Tschaikow-
sky to music, Solovief to philosophy;
and, above all, she has given to litera-
ture an immortal band of masters of
language, who have brought us a fresh
revelation of beauty and new inter
probation of life"

MONTENEGRO CITY OF WORTH
Ipek Would Be Place Of importance
But for It's Unfortunate Geo
graphical Situation.

Ipek, the first Montenegrin city t.
fall before the invaders, is the most
important city acquired by the Black
mountain people for their part in the
war Of the Balkan league against the
Ottoman empire In 1912, says a
primer on war geography given out by
the National Geographic society. Stu
ated anywhere else but in the worlds
most troubled peninsula. Ipek would
have made name and riches as a
mecca for vacationists; beautiful and
varied, its air is fresh and full of
MOUNTAINEERING, and the rich Mediter-
ranean fruits are grown in its gardens.
For the sportsman Ipek could have
furnished hunting, fishing and noun
tain-climbing For the nerve-worn pa
tient 1t could have given a bracing
climate and picturesque solitudes.
All of these things would have
made it a tempting spot to the pleas
ure-seeking vacationist. AS an I'M
fortunate center of unrest, however,
where Albanian, Montenegro, Turk
and Servian kept the pot of trouble
boiling year after year under an OF
toman administration that stirred the
embers under the pot when these
showed signs Of snoldering, Ipek has
remained unknown by the world out
side for the beauties of its place.
Ipek lies upon the present borders
of Montenegro, in the east toward
Serbian Prithtina. The Mokra Plania
rise high behind it to the west, and
this range forms the immediate bar
rier to the invaders from Ipek. On
neighboring heights is situated ia
nous monastery, in which the Serb
ian patriarchs formerly housed, the
lpek monastery, founded by Arch
bishop Arsenius in the thirteenth
century. Many of the olden chiefs
of the Serbian church are buried
here, and here, also. is preserved the
marble throne, upon which the patri-
archs were crowned. The city lies 73
miles east-northeast of Albanian Sou
tart, which latter city has now become
the seat of Serbian government. It
has a population of $4,000, which has
been better housed and circumstanced
than most of the populations in the
Balkan uplands.
