Mock Pin Tucks.

For use on children's clothes. lingerie
or fine blouses a good imitation of pin
tucking may be obtained by machine
stitching. 1t Is necessary to use about
n No. thread In the bobbin and as fine
thread as 100 In the needle. Stitch
the material on the wrong side, letting
the coarse thread come on the right.
1t is this coarse thread which looks
like the pin tuck, and il is ever so
much easier to do Ii might be n good
idea to loosen the bobbin screw very
slightly in doing this work.

PAYROLL OF ARMY
Big Task Getting Money to Uncle
Sans Troops.
RATES HIGH UNDER NEW LAW.

Biggest Pay Of Any officer In the Field
10 That of Lieutenant General, Which
10 $1,000 q Year-unitsd States Avi-
alton Force Offers Wide Field and 10
Rsmunerative.
Washington.-Uncle Sam for the first
time in nineteen years is getting ready
to pay a big field army. The army on
the border was designated as a de-
detrimental force. With 100000 men
scheduled to serve with the colors just
as soon as they can be obtained, big
Job faces the quartermasters at each Of
the six department headquarters, and
the finance division OF the depot here.
The finance division OF the depot In
Washington is under the direction OF
Major George c. Barnhardt. 1t pays
off all retired officers and soldiers I'M
der the war depot in the city, some in
the Philippines and some In Texas. Al
ready it has a big task, and with the
increase of the army it will be loaded
down with work.
The highest pay of any officer in the
field is that of lieutenant general,
which is $1,000 year. There is no
active lieutenant general now, however.
Generals Miles, Bates and Young, who
reached that rank, are all retired.
The pay of a major general Is $4,000
a year at the time Of his appointment,
and he gets 10 per cent increase each
five years. This 10 per cent increase
each five years also applies to briga-
der generals, colonies, lieutenant colo
nels. majors, captains. first lieutenants
and second lieutenants.
The pay of a brigatlier general is $6,-
900 a year; a colonel, $4,000, and lieu
tenant colonel, $500. Other salaries
for line office are major, $1,000 a year;
captain, $2,400; first lieutenant, $1,000;
second lieutenant, $1,700.
First and second lieutenants are very
much in demand. Examinations are
being held in many parts Of the coun-
try to fill up the ranks of lieutenants
in order that the big army Of recruits
may be drilled.
The aviation corps, which offers
wide field and which is to receive much
attention, in addition to opportunities
for service, is attractive from the stand
point of pay.
While on duty that requires him to
participate regularly and frequently in
areial flights, each duly qualified mill
tary aviator receives an increase Of 20
per cent over the salary which the pay
of his grade entities him TO.
Chaplains appointed to the army will
receive $1,000 a year, the pay of first
lieutenant.
Privates receive SO month. In
case they are sent to Europe they will
get an increase of 20 per cent or SIS
per month. A certificate of merit en-
titles a soldier to So month more,
and there is yet an additional sum for
expert rifiemen, sharpshooters and
marksmen. Cooks receive $50 a month.

educated are as charming men and
women as one would meet anywhere
And their feeling toward the United
States is extremely friendly. Indeed,
1t Is more than that, because there Is
a sincere gratitude at the bottom of
1t. But how can they feel otherwise
after all that our government has done
for them?'
1t is easy to believe the testimony of
travellers that Mrs. Wood was thor
oughly tactful hostess In her Santiago
home. Above all, she is devoted ad-
mirer of her husband.
Mrs. Woods personality is all her
own, while her social adaptability is
doubtless partly due to her training
as girl in the social life of Washing
tons diplomatic circles.
Mrs. Wood has many points Of per-
sonal attraction. She is tall, with q
strongly built figure that suggests ath-
letic tastes; her face In repose is keen
ly intelligent aNd when she smiles is
most attractive; she has good. honest
gray eyes and plenty Of soft, reddish
brown hair.
1t Is probably because of Mrs. Woods
force, determination and executive ca
pacity that the report Of her being an
accomplished medical student arose in
Cuba. She declares, however. that she
has had no medical training, is not a
college woman and has never consid-
cred a profession Of any sort.
In the cut Mrs. Wood wears a ster-
ilized gown, worn as she made band
ages for the New York division of the
Red Cross.

THE PRUssIAN YOKE

We learn that the people of Aus
tria are becoming restive under the
dominating leadership Of kaiserism.
And we'll they may.
The German empire and constitu-
ton. welded by Bismark. the man of
blood and iron," was drawn to be
absolutely perfect from the stand
point Of kings. Although the con-
stitution provides for an elective
reichstag chosen by the suffrage Of
men over % years of age, it does
not provide real representation. The
districts remain as they were estab-
lished in 1871. The reichstag has
become little more than a debating
society; the real power resting in
the emperor and the bundesrat, a
body Of 81 members. appointed by
the king. mostly Prussians. and
holding their meetings in secret. All
legislation must be approved by this
oundesrat. which means that Prus-
sian aristocracy holds an absolute
veto power over all German national
action.
The German mind is efficient; it
Is painstaking, persistent, and glor-
les in conquering hard problems.
The national government has recog-
nized this trait and played into its
hands. The German people have not
been slow to recognize their own
material and educational progress
The government has claimed the
same as the result OF their system,
and large part of the German pop
ulation has been schooled into this
belief. German kulture shall DOM
mate the world" has become a ma
tional philosophy II not religion
among the Teutons.
II is this organization, builded for
80 years, educated into the Prussian
mind from infancy, that the world is
making war upon. Directed by a
fearless, selfish. arrogant coterie at
its head, blinded by their national
philosophy of superiority, Prussian-
ism is disdainful OF the rights OF
others and shows that attitude in
every move. Geographically, Aus
tria and Hungary are her allies; ra-
cially they are closely akin: but
sooner or later the yoke OF militar-
ism will prove too CALLING even for
their patient backs. Whether this
situation will develop before a basis
OF world peace is found, Is a matter
Of conjecture, but the situation Is
there, and is brewing trouble which
will come to the surface sooner OF
later.
II is indeed blind student OF
politics who can see any future for
Hohenzollernism, except a crushing
defeat and final elimination.
