Ethics of "Profession" Make II Perrnls-
slble for Him to Wear the Uniform
of the Enemy.

Initiating the bugle-calls of the en-
envy is quite legitimate; so is the wear
Ing of their uniform, with one reser-
walton. A soldier may not fire on the
enemy while so attired. But he may
advance or retreat, build bridges and
perform any other military operation
short of actual fighting, using the uni
form as means of deception.
A soldier may spy as much as he
likes. If he worms HIS way into the
enemy's lines he is only doing his duty,
and, If captured there, may not be
punished beyond being taken an ordl-
nary prisoner provided he is wearing
a uniform. If he is in any kind of dis.
guise he may be shot.
In the course of his spying he may
kill as many of the enemy as he can.
When he approaches the sentries he
may stab them in the dark, or use any
trick to throw them off their guard ex-
cept one. He may not say friend" If
the sentry challenges him (unless, of
course, he intends to surrender).
Similarly, IL suddenly attacked, he
may not use any words to make the
enemy believe that he is a friend in
disguise, and so take him unawares.

His Wife's Temper.

| have seen, especially among the
leisure class, capricious and ill-tem-
pered women whose husbands lived in
constant dread of a scene of some
sort, says a writer in the Woman's
Home Companion. There, poor, down
trodden men spent their days in pla-
eating their wives, in side-stepping
tempers and tears with humiliating
nimbleness, or in exercising patient
kindness less degrading to them and
deeply touching to all spectators. Such
men are always pitied by the whole
community in which they live, but this
pity is a subtle form of contempt. The
sympathetic community feels that side
stepping a wife's moods is poor way
for live man to be spending his days.
When, however, man blights the
life of his household in similar way,
the commiseration which his wife re-
celves Is small, especially If he hap
pens to be that which is so aptly
termed "a good provider." In fact, the
feeling of the community eloquently re-
fleets my mothers attitude; that 1t is
a "woman's business to make her home
livable."

Amber Lights for Beauty.

The electrician of New York hotel
has discovered the secret of making
the homely woman look attractive and
the pretty woman look like a dream.
The trick is amber lights. The roof
garden of the hotel Is decorated with
these lights, and they make everybody
look like peaches and cream. "My
dear, you look simply wonderful to-
night" exclaimed tall, slender, blonde
woman dressed In filmy white. "And
you were never more beautiful" re-
sponded the other, brunette, as they
passed each other on their way to the
tables. "How does she manage it,"
continued the first, seating herself with
an escort, who was attired In immacu-
late evening clothes. "She really looks
quite charming. And she isn't, you
know" amber lights" explained the
man as he scanned the menu. Its a
trick of the decorators, and 1t is q pity
more places don't apply it. for the
sake of us men, at least Roof gar
dens would be overcrowded If all the
women could be transformed into beau
ties by the use of the amber lights"

WHEN LIFE WAS ADVENTURE
Better knowledge of Way Nature
Works Has Removed Uncertain
ties That Once ExhiIarated.

An old negro nanny, working for
family, was observed not to eat the
fish that was served at dinner.
Whats the matter with the fish,
auntief" the mistress inquired. "Ah
doan' see how you dare eat It," she
replied. "You nevah saw its head.
How you know but what 1t had the
head of HUMANE"
Once In a while we get back that
way to the world our ancestors lived
in. What wonderful adventure life
must have been to them They new
er knew when they might see human
headed fish, or centaur or a dragon.
They wouldn't have been surprised
at dryad stepping out of a tree.
There must have been a certain ex-
hilaratlon about that kind of uncer-
tainty that we miss nowadays. A bet
ter knowledge of the way nature
works has taken a good deal of the
childlike romance out of life.
We get faint reflection of 1t In the
mild superstitions that most of us
cling TON our beliefs In magic num-
bers, in the harm of seeing the new
moon over the left shoulder, In the In
fuence of the dark of the moon. One
reason for the charm of Greek liter
allure is that 1t was written by men
who were close enough to the primitive
so that its beliefs were still fresh and
vital with them.--Exchange

Sea Storehouse of Treasure.

Perhaps everything that is lost finds
Its way to the sea. the great swallower
of valuable things, which certainly has
u capacity equal to hiding from human
sight every movable object on earth.
Among the strangest stories of the sea
are those relating to treasures fished
from its depths. The incident of a fish
being caught, and having in its stom-
ach ring, has occurred so frequently
that 1t has lost it's strangeness. The
fish of the sea are voraeious and not
ut all discriminating, so that 1t is al
most impossible to say what has not
been found in their stomachs. Sharks
have been made to dsgorge pipes,
boots, books, money, clothing and hard
ware, and other fish are but little less
voracious. Vast as 1t is, the sea, in
course of ages, has received so many
wrecks that its bottom is a storehouse
Of treasure.

The Why of a Volcano.

A volcano is yet one of the great
mysteries of this good ship Earth" up
on which we are sailing through the
shoreless sea of space. Ever since
man first began to think he has been
awed and mystified by the volcano,
vomiting smoke and ashes and white
hot lava. At first the volcano was re-
garded as the chimney from the In
ferno beneath the earth. Then sci
ence concluded that the center of the
earth was yet molten mass, that
must burn out and overflow once In
awhile; and many learned men yet
cling to thatsbelief. There are other
theories, which anyone may get from
school book, or an encyclopedia but
they are yet theories. No one knows
the why of a volcano.

TELLING TIME AS YOU RUN
Nashville (Tenn.) Has Installed Clock
for Those Who Wait Till Last
Minute to Get Anywhere.

If you are In the habit of being late
for work, or are in the habit of wait.
ing for the last minute in which to
catch your train. you know how you
scan the corner clocks rs you fly by.
Nashville, Tenn, appreciated the
need of an efficient timepiece that
could be seen at considerable distance,
so that instead OF having the usual
circular dial with revolving hands, the
time is shown by white figures, 2s
inches high, mounted on endless fiex
ible bands, which move across the face
of the clock, changing every 60 seconds
These figures show at a greater dis.
lance and are read much quicker than
the hands of an ordinary clock. AT
night the figures are Illuminated.
1t is operated by system OF
weights, aggregating several hundred
pounds, which are automatically wound
up by electrical power. There were
many mechanical difficulties to con.
front and to be solved on original
lines, for this clock as ii is has had nc
predecessor.

Turkish Towels.

Turkey exports more towels than
any other country, which Is largely be-
cause the average Turk has no use for
a towel himself. When the first Turk
made Il towel he couldn't imagine what
to do with It, SO he sold IL to tourist
md IN this way the Turkish towel In
dustry arose. A Turk has no patience
with n towel. As soon as he makes
one lie wants to have II out of his
sight. lie doesn't mind Turkish rugs,
and he viii even smoke a Turkish
cigarette, but n Turkish towel gets him
going. The leading feature Of Turk
ish towel Is that you can dry yourself
on both sides, which makes IL Of spe-
clal value. Operating Il Turkish towel
Is quite Il knaek and most people de-
yelOp their own style OF play. A man
ean get more vigorous exercise after
d morning bnth In drying his buck with
Il Turkish towel Than In hustling
trunks. The only objection TO Turkish
towels us an exercise Ii that 1t doesn't
