It's Jubilee Week
for "The Sun" Fund

WITH more than 100000
raised and many shipments
of smokes sent to the soldiers in
less than four months. is it any
wonder that THE SUN Tobacco
Fund should celebrate Jubilee
Week? And with that big Hip
podrome show netting a great
profit and A. Paul Keith and E. F.
Albee quietly sending check for
$4,000, could any Jubilee Week
start more auspiciously?
And there are other friends
who are planning projects for the
fund. All such loyal supporters
give additional cause for thanks
giving. Also they should inspire
to emulation. The more nearly
universal a movement the more
truly successful it is. One of the
finest things about this enterprise
is that it affords everybody an
opportunity to render service.
Here is the programme to fol-
low when you enter a United or
Schultz cigar store: Make your
purchase, light up, drop your cou-
pon or certificate in the contribu-
ton box, depart happy in the con-
sciousness of having done small
hit toward helping the lads Over

Essentials of Song Voice.

Many good singers only think their
songs. These fall short of the powers
they might attain. The listeners hear
the music. but they are not thrilled.
Other singers have feeling, but they
fail to display will. Their voices nee
essarily lack fiber and are too soft and
sentimental. Such singing suggests
merely passive sympathy and not the
desire to help actively.
Good, honest sentiment and the ring
of good will, implying action, are want
ed in good music. There is no appeal
In the song voice that only wills. The
voice of authority and domination Is
not pleasing. The essentials Of the
song voice embrace all the singers
powers, faculties and attributes. They
include not only will, but also thought
and feeling, and that voice is lacking
which fails to combine all three Of
these ments.-Exchange.

Wha4 MakAa a Car old.

The life of the bearings of car de-
termines the usefulness of the entire
machine. q car with badly worn bear
ings is an old car, even though it may
have Travelled less than 10000 miles.
whereas one which has seen 100000
miles of use and still has its bearings
in good condition is, comparatively
speaking, a new machine.
Wear on bearings is determined by
four conditions-the load which that
bearing carries, the speed at which the
bearing surfaces move over each other,
the nature of those surfaces and their
ability to resist wear and the lubrica-
ton which these surfaces receive and
its ability to prevent the formation of
the destructive heat of friction.
The matter of load becomes a mat
ter Of size, for with given load it is
but natural that with a large surface
over which to distribute the pressure
the load on each square inch of bear
ing surface will be less. This means
that the life of bearings will, in gen.
eral, be In proportion to their size

Winter and Summer sen.

The sun is nearer to the earth In
winter than it is in summer. 1t Is not
distance that determines the amount OF
heat that we get from the sun, but the
length of time the sun is above the
horizon and the direction in which his
rays strike us. In summer, although
much farther from us, the sun is daily
above the horizon much longer than
when he is nearest. at the winter SOL
stice, and this continued action pro
duces the summer heat. In addition to
this is to be reckoned the fact that
in summer the force of the suns rays
is more perpendicular to the earth's
surface, while in the winter they are
oblique. In the case of the perpendicu-
lar ray the heat stays, while in that OF
the oblique ray it "glances off," SO to
speak.

The cahhana Butterfly.

The most destructive enemy of the
cabbage and related crops is the cab
bage butterfly. This lays its eggs upon
a cabbage leaf The eggs hatch into
green caterpillars, and these eat the
leaves In 1888, says the Journal Of
Heredity, an ichneumon fly was i'm
ported from Europe to keep the cab
bage butterfly in check. 'The fly lays
it's eggs in the body of the caterpillar;
the larvae which hatch from these eggs
eat the caterpillar's insides, cut their
way out through the empty skin and
spin cocools s from which the flies
emerge.
cit is interesting to note," adds the
journal of Heredity. that the parasite
is in turn preyed upon by a super
parasite, little chalcis fly, and so on
down ad infinitum,' no doubt"

COURAGE and Cruelty.

1t is one of the mean and morbid lies
that physical courage is connected with
cruelty. Tolstoyan and Kiplingite are
nowhere more at one than in maintain
ing this. They have. believe. some
small sectarian quarrel with each
other, the small one saying that cour-
age must be abandoned because it is
connected with cruelty and the other
maintaining that cruelty is charming
because IT is part of courage. But it
Is all, thank God, lie. An energy and

stupid or reckless or dull or drunk or
hungry, but it does not make him
spiteful. Gilbert X. Chesterton

An Old Mans stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to
meet the demands of our bodies. If
too much is habitually taken, the
stomach will rebel. When a man

eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than you should and you will
