We HAVE TO

With many eastern cities al
ready setting out to double and
even treble the Red Cross dona-
ton sum designated for them, TIA
coma Friday faced a possibility OF
failing to give the 100000 ex-
pected from this city.
A check of all money received
by the Red Cross committee here
since Tuesday showed that only a
little over $4,000 had been re-
ceived Friday noon, and that al
ready most of the large donors
had been heard from.
Added stimulus will be given
the drive here Saturday and Mon
day, in the hope that Tacoma can
at least raise the expected $780,
600.
Reports by United Press from
Washington, d. c., Friday indi-
Gated that the $1O0,0O0,OOO mark
originally fixed for the national
Red Cross campaign would be
greatly exceeded by Monday night.
The $75,000,000 stage was passed
Friday.
Cleveland has already passed its
allotment of $2,500,000 and has
started on a drive to double the
figure. Many smaller cities, in
GLIDING Worcester Mass, and
Wilmington, Del, are out to tre-
BILE their quotas.
New York city has passed the
$27,000,000 mark.

Luminous Ewes.

Cats among mammals, and owls
among birds, says w. H. Hudson in his
book idle Days in Patagonia" are the
most highly favored of any creatures
in the matter of luminous eyes. "The
feline eyes, as of a puma or wildcat,
blazing with wrath, sometimes affect
one like an electric shock; but for in
tense brilliance the yellow globes of
the owl are unparalleled" Mr.. Hud-
son asserts that nature has done COM
paratively little for the human eye
either in these terrifying splendors or
in beauty. He says that in Brazil he
was greatly impressed with the mag
niticent appearance of many of the ne
gro women; but that if they had only
possessed the golden irides'' of GER
tain intensely black tropical birds
their unique loveliness" would have
been complete.-Outlook.

To Make Book Plates.

One way to make effective book
plates is to have stencil, through
which you can work up the slips in
water-colors. Stencils are cut from
oiled stencil paper or board, but If
you are going to make very many,
1t might be well to have a metal stem
ell cut, as the paper or cardboard will
soon wear out. Look through the maya
zines for some appropriate design or
group and trace it to your stencil pa
per- Cut it up into little portions, as
you would jigsaw puzzle, so that all
the design is in parts, all Joined by
small bridges" to each other. Cut
out the design, leaving the bridges
firm, with a sharp knife, holding the
stencil over glass or marble as you cut.
When complete proceed to color
through the stencil onto thin cardboard
or water-color paper. A dozen or so of
these book plates at time will not be a
strenuous task and the result will
easily repay labor.

HUNDREDS OF GERMAN PLANES
BROUGHT DOWN DURING PAST
MONTH OF FIGHTING.
Some of the Most Desperate Air Bat.
ties of the Entire War Fought in
the Past Few Days, Thirty
Planes Destroyed in Day.

London.-The recent lull in the fight
ing has had no effect whatever upon
the British aerial offensive, which con-
tinues day and night with unrelenting
intensity. In the last few days there
have been witnessed some of the most
desperate air battles of the entire war.
One or two of these have been fought
at the unprecedented height of 10000
feet, or more than three and one-half
miles from the earth.
Recently there was a duel in which
British pilot, having run out of am
munition for his machine gun, got close
enough to his antagonist to shoot him
down with his revolver. This incl
dent served to recall the fact that when
the war began the only weapons which
aerial pilots had were pistols and car
bines.
"A notable feature of the air fighting
in the last ten days has been the ten
dency of the German airplanes to
break In pieces soon after being shot
out of control
The toll of German planes destroyed
in May will mount far into the hun
dreds. In last Sundays fighting alone
thirty were counted. Fifteen were
seen to crash to the ground, fourteen

and resolved it would be the last

gave him Instructions accordingly.

thing to do with herr
"Yes, sir" the lad replied, and with
drew.
The next day, as chance would have

vicinity of her husbands office, and
decided to call in.
"Can l see Mr. Oldboy, please?"

I'll fetch policeman. He don't want
to ave anything to do with you.

Mrs. Oldboy, highly indignant, left
without attempting to say another
word.
That night it took Mr.. Oldboy ex-
actly an hour and forty minutes to ex-
