Gas In P-hotooraphy.

Photography by gaslight-not only
the work of the camera itself, but the
printing OF the picture-has been given
an interesting demonstration by the
Photographers Association of Amer
ica.
George Graham Holloway of Terre
Haute, Ind, has been using gaslight
in his studio for two years and reports
enthusiastically of its success. With it
a photographer can work as well in a
grOund-nOor room as anywhere else;
he is not hindered by gloomy days or
rainfall; he can take pictures at night,
and the incandescent mantles give him
a light that resembles sunshine more
nearly than n other. 1t is not so
sharp as electric light, which generally
loses the soft shadows and falsifes

Back OF the firing line in the European war,

gives new tinge to the thought of conflict Ma
poleon cynically assigned woman to a definite

Kaiser Wilhelm H. less blunt, but nearly as
brusque, consigned her to the three KS, and went
on about his business OF training her male off

has lived to see woman emerge from the sphere
into which he thrust her, and to see her take
the place OF the mainstay of the empire. "Ev-
cry pit is trench, every workshop rampant"
cries Lloyd-George. who has just come to be war
minister for Great Britain. and who long ago
said the war was being fought out in the work

explosives and 50 per cent of the equipment for
the kaisers armies is produced by work of women
What the percentage is in the other countries is
not known, but it is certain that it is scarcely
much less than in Germany
Woman is no longer restricted to cooking,
church and children, nor is her sole relation to
war that OF bearing and rearing soldiers She
doesn't march with the colors, but she has taken
up tasks the men laid down that they might
shoulder rifles dig burrows in the earth and die
like trapped animals under poisonous gases or

Clean Athletic SPORTS.

Americans are still greatly interested in out
door sports, and for the matter OF that, in ath-
letes and athletics generally. This trait of the
national character is not to be gagged by the
prosperity Of professional sports, although the
latter may in some respects be considered as a
reflex index OF the bent of the people toward play
that involves physical exercise, and in which ex.
celence depends on skill and agility as we'll as
muscular development. better indication, how
ever, is the popularity of golf This game, less
strenuous than some other forms of outdoor
sport, has in 1t enough OF demand for endurance
as well as the coordination of different bodily

antidote for the sedentary habits Of work to
which many are condemned But the golfer has
plenty OF company. Base ball. tennis rowing

our physique will compare without discredit with
that of any in the world. And. above all, we
love sport for sports sake, and while we may

and for 1915 SSO,loO,694. This year
the returns reached the surprising to-
tai of $l24S67,450. A portion OF the
increase is due to closer application
pf the law and the wholesome fear OF
federal prosecution. The bulk of the
