GAS FOR POLICE, USE

Will some of the modern imple- ments and devices brought forth by the present war be used by the police in Europe and America when the war is oyer or even be adopted before that time? This question arises fol- lowing a very interesting and dra- matic incident in Paris the other day. It, seems that a soldier overstayed bis leave from the trenches and was de- clared to be 8 deserter. The Paris police were notified and went to his home to get him. The man, when he saw what confronted him, barricaded his place and with the weapons he had used against the enemies of his country he resisted the police. The latter tried by every known means to get at him but he had the advantage. Finally 1t was decided to drive him out of the house by filling the place with tear producing gas, used to drive the enemy from his trenches Pro- tected' by a steel shield, policeman braved the armed recalcatrant, bored a hole in the door and inserted a tube for the gas. As soon as the deserter realized the situation Nhe shot himself. His wife, half suffocated, opened the door. He died soon afterward. Will the police in future resort to similar means to drive out desperate charac- ters who have barricaded themselves in barns, houses and the like? If they do goodbye to desperadoes.

AT PORTO RICO

Nineteen years ago yesterday on July 25. 1898, the first American flag was sent out into the breeze over Porto R1co. It was the crew of the U s. s. Gloucester under command of Lieu tenant Commander, now Rear Ad- miral Wainwright, that first planted the Stars and Stripes on those shores. The expedition to capture the island started from Guantanamo on July 21, several war vessels and transports la den with troops taking part. The Gloucester, when the island was sight ed, was sent ahead, being a small ship of light draught. Two boat loads of sailors armed with rifles and a few six pounders were sent ashore and drove the handful of natives into the hills. The Spanish flag, which fluttered from a mast in the midst of a cluster of houses, was lowered and the Stars and Stripes run up, with appropriate salutes, while those same natives sent few bullets in the gen. eral direction of the flag pole, with out hitting anything except the houses. The other ships of the ex- petition had by this time come up and men and guns were landed. There was not very much work for them to do, however. and by night fall men, materials and the animals which had been landed were in camp. Since then the American flag has been floating over the island steadily: and no one rejoices more over this fact than the Porto Rican.

TWO GIRLS LOVE HIM.

Jim writes: ''I am a. young man Of 26. Not bad looking and well fixed Financially. Am up against an odd situation. I have been going about with two different girls at the same time for the last year. It came about gradually, and in this way: I would drop in to see one on one evening, and happen around to call on the other the next evening. I really do not know, if my life depended on it, which Scare most for. This much I do know. could not give either one up and be satisfied. What course should pursue to come to a decision?''
 You are acting an ungentlemanly, not to say extremely mean, part in deliberately, leading two innocent young girls to love you, and probably look forward to marriage with you, when you know full we'll that you must dfsappoint one of them bitterly Iperfaps-in the end. Quit both with out delay. going away for a few months During your, absence you will find your heart yearning for the one really nearest and dearest to you, the one you cannot cease thinking about, and longing to see. Your ab- sence will give both girls chance to look into their own, hearts, and de- |cide If they really care for you or are content to look further for mate. In
 my opinion either one could fare no worse.

.FARTHEsT NORTH

A monument was erected several years ago on the Crubaugh Farm in Columbiana County, Ohio, which marks the farthest northern point reached by the Confederate troops during the Civil War. It also marks the spot where Gen. John H. Morgan, the famous Southern leader. surrend- cred. For many years an old locust tree marked the place of surrender, but the tree died a few years ago, and after it was cut down the stump was taken to East Liverpool, Ohio, for safekeeping in the public library as historical relic. It was the idea of the. late w. l.. Thompson, the song writer, who lived near the scene of the fight to erect a monument to mark the spot. He had a fund well started when he suddenly died, but his friends took up the work and car [ ried it through. A huge granite powder was put in place and upon this is a bronze tablet bearing the tn- scription: This stone marks the spo, where the Confederate raider, Gen.
 John H. Morgan surrendered his command to Major George W. Rue
 July 26. 1863, and is the farthest

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARIES

On July 26, 1859 Montreal was in- vaded by 1,2o0 Indians who burned all the plantations and made a ter- rible massacre of men. women and children, upon who they committed the most f1endish barbarities. They killed one thousand persons and car ried off twenty-six. who were later burned. The Maryland convention met at Annapolis on July 26, 1775, and resolved to support the measures adopted by Congress. They also yor- dered $266,666 in bills of credit to be struck and provided that forty companies of minute men should be raised. On the very same day Con- gress first established a post-office. The, route extended from Falmouth in New England to Savannah, Ga, and Benjamin Franklin was appoint ed postmaster. A remarkable demon- stration by Irishmen took place in New York city on July 26, 1852. They made an unsuccessful attempt to res-' cue Thomas Kaine, in custody of a United States marshal. and claimed by the British government under the treaty, as a fugitive from justice. The affair aroused the greatest sensation and almost led to bloodshed.

PRINCESS MARY

When Louis XII of France became a widower at the age of fifty-three the death of Anne of Brit tany, he was left without an heir to his throne. He therefore sought in marriage Princess Mary, sister of Henry VIII of England, who was then IT years old. She had formed a great attachment to Charles Bran don, Viscount Lisle, afterward Duke of Suffolk. However, reasons of state compelled her to accept Louis and they were married by proxy in Eng land on Aug. ', 1514. After the lapse of several weeks Louis became impa- tient for his bride and urged imme- diate departure for France. Mary was sent, with many attendants, among them the Duke of Suffolk. Or Oct 8, Mary made her formal entry into France where she was joyously greeted by her new husband. He i'm. Emediately dismissed her attendant.
 with the exception of Suffolk, whs stayed on as English Ambassad dor

245,625 BIRTHS LESS IN GERMAN
 TOWNS FOR 1916"
Since Outbreak of War the Birth Rate in Germany
 Has Steadily Declined 4

Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 26.- Apart from the inroads made upon Germany's make population by the war, the check to the natural renewal of her people is making itself very sharply felt. The provisional birth statistics for 1916 show very clearly
 what a shrinkage will be evident in the German army leyies for these
 years of war, assuming that the Elm peror, or at least his military system
 have not disappeared from the Ger
 man empire before the time for their calling up comes round. The official statictdcs which relate to German towns of 15,o00 and more
 inhabitants, show that the number of
 infants born alive in such towns de-
 creased by 131,068 in 1915 as com pared with 1914, and that in 1916
 they again declined by 114,557, mak-
 ing total decrease between the be-
 ginning of 1915 and the end of 1916 of 245.625. or 3s.5 per cent. Of the
 number of living births recorded in
 the year 1914 This percentage al- most entirely accords with the de- crease percentage in the absolute number of such births recorded in
 the 26 largest German cities, which
 are separately tabulated.
 It is clear that such decline in the number of births can by no means be counterbalanced by the sinultane- ous decrease shown in the mortality rate of infants under one year old, although this is relatively somewhat greater than the shrinkage shown in the number of births. The mortality rate of infants under one year old3s
 measured by comparison with the.
 number of births has continually de- clned since the year 1914. In the i26 largest German cities the rate of
 such infant mortality, as compared
 with births, fell from 15.s in the year 1914 to 13.e in 1916, while in.
 all German towns of 15,000 the more inhabitants 1t declined in the same period from 1855 to 13.3.
 As the German Press emphasizes with legitimate satisfaction, the rate of infant mortality in the war year 1916 was lower even than in the year 1912, when it stood at 14.1, hitherto | @ record low rate. Such compare
 tive mortality decrease. however. can
 naturally have but the very slightest effect on the shrinkage in the actual number of births in Germany in the past two years of war, and the next population statistics of the country must show evidences of the check which. war has imposed. ss

Women To, Have Big
 Part In War Program

All kinds of advice are being hap0- cd out to women as toshow they can help in the war. A conscientious wo- man, anxious to assfsts;int every, pos Bibie way. must be- bewiidered by the conflicting suggestions. 59
 Many of these ideas are advanced by people with theirss heads in the clouds who do not see the imm ediate and practical thing that any person can do. Some of us feel so disinayed by the wastses of our distributien sys- tenn, that the plain and simple means of everyday economy appear too trif- ling to interest them. But our distri- button problems are too large to be remedied offhand While new econ omic systems are beinga organized. the war will be won or lost 3sgi,.a .sa rrd
 Meanwhile, 4there is one thing that every woman can do ina simple and practical way. That iss to co o-operate heartily with the goveFnInent sugges- tions as 10 food ecnnomy This orr ganizatiopi comes home especiaH Fly to women of wealth who keep servants.

 The woman of fsweaIth can do more to win the war through work in. the kitchen, than by any other thing she n can attempt If she knows nothing about cooking, it is time for. her to learn. She will find ia anew pleasure in life in providingsf herself and Li her family with dishes of a dainty and tempting quality that few hired underlings eyer attain. It will not be long before she realizes that the home of wealth is accustomed 10 waste more materials than it uses. That makes food scarce. for all of us and helps the enemies of our >country.
 The women are responding so nobly to this and other calls that such advice seems almost needless Hun drsds of thousands of women3in lux urious homes have put. on their ap- rons, rolled up their sleeves, and are baking ahf 7b5ira65f1fn g r 'Thg Scarcity ot servants oIflakesftAt7 often obli igatory All over the country women are roll ing. bandages and knitting comfor, articles.

cases where there is a doubt, 1t IS we'll to place the material in an oven for a few minutes, leaving the door a few inches open.
 Dried foods may be packed away in paraffin paper boxes for sale Tor the purpose, or in cracked glass ars, etc., but they should be kept in nearly tight receptacles and in a dry place.
 Slicers and pairing machines do much to make drying work easy if large quantities are to be used. Ap- pies and such products dry best if cut not more than 1-2 inch and not less than 1-S inch thick. Peas are sometimes put through a food chop per. to break the heavy outer skin, although they may be- dried whole. There is no "sbets method" for dry ing, but differing methods may be suitable to different conditions ac- cording to the fruit and vegetables raised or to the equipment at hand that may be adapted for such pur- poses.
 Drying is especially recommended for those who have large quanttties of peas, corn, apples, and peaches that might otherwise go to waste un- less used within a short time. It is not advised as "a means of saving rhu- barb, spinach or strawberries.
 To restore the dried fruits or vege- tables to natural form, all must be soaked several hours, some over night, and then cooked a little longer than the time allowed for the same food if fresh.
 In using any of these driers, warm air will dry quicker than cold. but too hot air partially cooks and injures the quality of the food.
 For further particulars write to the U. s. Department of Agriculture for Farmers Bulletin, No. 841, or to the Extension Department, Storrs, Con- necticut.

"Oh, what had I, at such a time,
 To do with wasting care,
 I threw it from me-spare the tale
 It was my last cigar"
 If there's anything which can really annoy a girl,, it is to have a man at tempt to court and smoke al. the same time. Either the one or the other must absorb his attention. A girl of ten forgets that it is the real boon of the ibashful, over-sensitive man. It gives him courage, between pulls, to tell her, piece meal, what is in his heart. Many a man would not have sufficient confidence in himself to pro- pose, with the eyes of the girl he loves fastened on him. In desperation he pulls hard at his cigar. Behind that kindly white curling wreath, he blurts out the words that he couldn't very we'll utter otherwise.
 Not one girl in a hundred under stands the situation, which Is indeed more trying for him than for her, if she but knew 1t. The girls who do not understand are chagrined that he should presume to smoke a. cigar at such a critical moment. The girl who does understand feels like blessing that cigar for helping him out. While one young woman raises a. decided ob- jection to a man who is addicted to the weede another trusts to time and affection, after she has welded him, to cure him by, degrees if the habit has got too much of a hold upon him.
 It is usually a singe woman who shows such pronounced distas+ efulness for a mans smoking habit. The man who is addicted to the use of the weed can scarcely be dragged to the home  tabooed, in the. house. on the porch, or in the grounds. One scarcely finds a comedy widow who puts such restr1c- tions on the man who is sufficiently interested in her to call often On the contrary she is more apt to tell him that she hasn't the least objection to the fragrant odor of a good Havana, when he drops around to pass an hour or so of a summer evening with her on the porch She knows it is a spe- cial privilege that she appreciates For it is a comfort that he would't like to miss. The man who smokes likes to feel at home. His cigar puts him at his ease.
 There never was a man who did not have some little habit ingratned in his nature, by the time he reached man hood If he does nothing worse than to smoke, the woman he marries will have little to complain of. True, she might influence him to break off after marriage; but it generally will be found that she will value his comfort and happiness more than the trouble his smoking habit causes her.. It all depends on whether a man has been accustomed to it for years, as to whether he will do without it or not. The wife who openly insists upon his giving up smoking. finds herself with more of a job on her hands than she oargained for. If he hasn't the will
