The SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DAsREY.

We wouldn't mind it so much if
those Cupid chasing slackers married
the silent sentinels.
1t needed only the closing of the
bars here to prove that this country
really is at war.
The Lord will be with US" says
Kaiser Bill in a message to his SOL
diers-evidently he is trying to re-
new the celebrated partnership.
-Four men shocked by lightning"
says a headline. The modern styles
are such that it takes a great deal
to shock them.
Every southern city is pluming it
self on being cooler than the north,
but Pensacola has been the coolest
Of the southern cities, and we have
the documents to prove it.
Unfortunately our household has
three meatless days a week already,
and we are unable to adopt the gov
ernment's suggestion for one meat
| less day a week. Furthermore we
| don't put icing on our cake, use more
cornmeal than wheat, and 60 with
out sugar in our coffee; and in con-
sequence we feel very badly that we
| haven't any patriotic extravagances
to curtail.
This is the day when the hurrah
and fiag-raising patriots will have a
chance to show how much they real
| ly think of the boys who have car
ried Old Glory to the front. The
Navy League needs funds to buy
material for making sweaters, he'll
ments, mittens, etc, to keep our
sailors comfortable this winter when
they are hunting the murderous sub
marines; but instead of putting on
a personal solicitation campaign, il
will depend on volunteer contribu-
tions alone. The women have vol
unteered to do the knitting, and il
only remains for the men to show
that they are equally patriotic and
not merely noisy.

The combined receipts OF seven leading
points from the beginning Of the year up to
July I (4,479O00, an increase Of $4,000
over the same time in 1879, illustrate not
only the increasing demand. but also the
diminishing supply, for in too many cases
farmers have yielded to the temptation of
high prices and are selling their breeding
herds and their calves.
Which, of course, means still higher
prices-a serious outlook from the stand
point of the consumer. O..
To the Florida farmers, however, it is q.
magnificent opportunity. With the cheap
feeds TIT en- be produced here, double prices
for livestock mean wealth untold.

WOMEN IN TURKEY.

What effect will the war have on the
feminist movement in Turkey?
Incipient revolts against the petri6ed
opinion that woman's place is the harem,
and that edcation was not intended for
her. has been for years the theme OF such
writers of Pierri Lott, in his Disseminated.
The doctrines, however, were not sutfl-
GENTLY widespread to disturb the stupid
Complacency of inherited ideas, But such
announcements as "the ministry Of war
requires women for office and warehouse
duties at a commencing salary Of 400 pias-
tres (about $19) a month"; which are ap
pearing almost daily in the papers of Con
stantinople, must be very disturbing to the
conservatives,
Nineteen dollars a month at first sight
seems a greater nder-payment for
women's work than the advanced United
States offers, but it represents, indeed, an
astonishing concession when one remem-
bcrs that up to now the male of the species
has been required to serve several months
gratis, until he was broken into the new
employment.
SO far, says writer in the Nieuewe Rot
terdam Courant, discussing this subject,
through Greek, Levantine, and Jewish
women and women subjects of countries
allied with Turkey, have replied to the call?
Q, any Moslem women have availed them
selves of the opportunity in the
war hospitals is the most they have dared,
their heads bound in cloth, like mummy.
Which suggests an interesting appliCa
ia of the old proverb that clothes make
me man. Will the Turkish women have
greater freedom of thought until they have
greater freedom of dress? Has not the
r entail and economic development of
women in other countries been in direct
proportion to the simplifying of their cos
TUNES? Between the hoopskirts of Our
grandmothers and the trim tailor-mades Of
today, there is about the same difference
that there is between the capabilities Of
their wearers! The mistake reformers
make is that they work more on psychic
than social lines, and waste energy on a
soiritual appeal that would bear fruit If

OUR MORAL OBLIGATION.

With the appointment of its amusement

here.
The men who will be entrusted with the
execution of the plans are capable and

an inspiring chaper in southern hospitality
and American patriotism.
And these officials should have-must

of personal honor, fulfilling the traditions

Throughout the south generally we are
pleased to note that the same spirit burns
brightly. Its finest expression, possibly,
was given in the resolution adopted by the

clergymen and educators, and by the
women of social station and grace, OF
Petersburg, which might we'll serve as a

CHAPTER XXI.

Toward nine o'clock on the follow
ing morning John rose from a fitful
sleep and looked around him. Even
before he could recall the events of
the preceding night he felt that there
was a weight pressing upon his brain,
a miserable sense of emptiness in life,
dull feeling of bewilderment. AL
though he had no clear recollection Of
getting there, he realized that he was
in his own sitting-room, and that he
had been asleep upon the couch. He
saw, too, that 1t was morning, for a
ray of sunlight lay across the carpet.
AS he struggled TO his feet, he saw
with a little shock that he was not
alone. Sophy Gerard was curled up
in his easy chair, still In evening
clothes, her cloak drawn closely
around her, as If she were cold. Her
head had fallen back. She, too, was
asleep. At the sound of his move
ment, however, she opened her eyes

NEW CLEANER RUN BY WATER
Recently Invented Device Can Be oper-
ated at Any Point in House Where
There ls Hydrant.

A vacuum cleaner has been invent
ed which can be operated wherever
there is a hydrant in the house.
A pipe Of the right diameter is
screwed into the hydrant's mouth and
runs down to the bottom Of the sink.
A spiral nozzle fits the pipe just below
the mouth Of the hydrant. An angular
pipe opens into the vertical pipe i'm
mediately below the nozzle and slopes
up to connect with a rubber hose on
the guiding rod.
To clean the room you turn on the
water and guide the rod over the car
pet. After traversing the spiral noz-
zle the water whirls around and passes
the opening of an angular pipe, fore
ing out all the air near 1t. The
vacuum so created starts the air flow
ing in the rubber hose.

'That was just an investment"
John remarked irritably. "He will get

when at last the party Of guests had

the well-bred surprise of the one or

looked at him. The sleepy content
had gone from her eyes.

CHAPTER Xxx.

The ten minutes passed very much
too quickly. She was gone, and John,
thrilled though he was through all his
senses by the almost passionate fervor
of her leave-taking, found himself
once more confronted by that little
black demon. There was something
about all of them, all these people
whom he knew to be his friends, which
seemed to him to SAVIOR of conspira-
cy. There was nothing that could be
put into definite shape-just the ghost
of torturing, impossible thoughts. He
was In no humor to go home. Chang
ing the order he had first given to the
chauffeur, he was driven instead to q
small Bohemian club which he had
joined at Graillot's instigatiOn. He
had a vague hope that he might find
the great dramatist there. There were
no signs of him, however, in the smok-
ing room, or anyone else whom John
knew.
He threw himself into an easy chair
and ordered whisky-and-soda. Two
men close at hand were writing at
desks; others were lounging about,
discussing the evenings reception. One
man, sitting upon the table, a recog-
nized authority, was treating the COM
pany to a fluent dissertation upon
modern actresses, winding up by con-
trasting Louise Maurel's style with
that of her chief French rival. John
found himself listening with pleased
interest. The mans opinion was GER
tainly not unfavorable to Louise.
