GUIDES FOR IT'S SOLDIERS
the Men Home on Leave
From the Front.

London.-Soldiers on leave from the
front in the early days of the war had
the greatest difficulty in finding their
way about London and across it to
main line centers leading to their pro-
vincial homes, but this has all been
altered, and what was once chaos at
Victoria station now works like any
part of the military machine.
This has been made possible by tho
help of the volunteers of the National
Guard and by members of the Won"
ans Reserve Ambulance company, who
take charge of the men on arrival,
change their French money into Eng
lish grant them loans and personally
conduct them to the various stations
they may require to travel from. The
same thing is done when leave is up.
The soldier, used to discipline, likes
being handed on from one to another
rather than being left in strange
place to his own devices.

Clock piaIs for Summer.

Instead Of moving the hands of the
clock forward and back at the time of
changing from standard to summer
time, and vice versa, plan recently
proposed In England Is to have clocks
provided with an adjustable dial. The
circular disk Of the dial would be put
In place by screws In curved slots, and
the dial would be rotated through one
hour space at the time Of making the
change, leaving the hands untouched.
It Is claimed that this plan is especial
dy desirable In the case of striking
clocks, the hands of which cannot be
moved back. The position of the dial
would also indicate whether the clock
was keeping summer or normal time.
The objection to this procedure, of
course, is that practically everybody
tells time from position of the hands,
without any attention to the figures on
the dial,

CALL BRITISH TARS "LIMEYS"
American BIueJackets In European
Waters Have Nickname for
Everything They See.

London.-American bluejackets on
duty in European waters have a nick
name of their own for Englands sail
ors and soldiers. They call them
'limeys;' the individual being known
as ''lime" The American sailor men
apply the designation to all English
fighters just as the British refer to
their soldiers as "Tommies."
The sailor from the United States
has his nickname for nearly every
thing he sees. Bluejackets who had
served in the near and far East first
started calling British sailors and sol
diers lime ULCERS" because of their
fondness for fruit juice and charged
water
Now the designation has been short
ened down and everything British is
'limey." British soldiers and sailors
clubs are known as 'limey clubs" and
British-brewed lager beer is commonly
spoken of as "limey beer"

WAN
SHRINE OF THE "H0LY COAT"
Cathedral at Treves Contains One Of
Most jealousy Guarded Relics
OF the Roman Church.

At intervals of many years the old
Prince Bishoprlc of Treves, wakens out
of its half-slumbering condition and
becomes the center of great pilgrim
age. Besides its numerous Roman re-
mains, this quiet old town, claiming to
be 1900 years older than Rome, Is the
shrine of the Holy Coat" one of the
most jealousy guarded relics in the
possession of the Roman church.
The citizens of Treves are very
proud Of this seamless garment, and
they have given 1t prominent place
on their coat-of-arms, says the Dundee
Advertiser. 1t was not until 1886 that
the "Holy Coat" was placed over the
high altar, but 1t was not exposed to
the public gaze for some three hundred
years afterward. 1t was kept in a Sc
cret place of the cathedral known only
to few, and there were many who
doubted It's existence. A guide book
of 1914 says:
"The existence of the relic at pres
ent Is rather doubtful--at least, 1t Ia
not visible. The attendants Of the
church say 1t Is walled up" All doubts
were removed In 1914. when Archbish-
OPP Arnold announced a centenary
Jubilee, at which 1t was exhibited to
million and half of pilgrims from all
parts of the world. The coat Is loose
garment with wide sleeves, very SIM
pie In form, of coarse material, dark
brown In color, probably as the result
Of age, and entirely without seam or
decoration.

Mrs. s. Harris, aged seventy,

allied cause brought to the at
tention of King George. Mrs.
Harris has nine grandsons now

All nine grandsOns are broth

daughter, who is now dead. The
boys were living In Saskatche-
wan, in western Canada, when
the Dominion government first
called for volunteers. Seven of
them enlisted in the famous
Princess Pat regiment and, de-
spite the heavy casualties in
that crack organization, they
are all alive. Two others en-
tered the British navy. The
boys are Thomas, George, Will

ry, w. B. and Dennis Pollard,
and range in age from nineteen
to thirty-three years.

SCULPTOR TO DO HIS BIT
Will Turn Talents From Modelling In
Clay to Remaking Faces of the
Wounded.

Cleveland, O.-Max Kalish, Cleve-
land sculptor, is going to do his bit
and it's a strange bit, too. Kalish Is
turning his talents from creating faces
in clay to remaking those of human
beings. Kalsh is one of a small army
of American sculptors who are going
to the battle front to help battle
Scared veterans. They propose to re-
make the mangled features of the SOL
diers injured in battle.
They call these fellows plastic
sculptors. They replace the missing
parts of the face with copper or
papier mache and then graft skin over
1t. Little is known of the science in
America and the sculptors are going
TO France shortly to learn the fine
points of the art.
