cod-skin for Book Covers.

According to the Weser Zeitung (Bremen), a Berlin bOOkbinder has discovered new material for book binding-codfish skin--a doubly-wel- come discovery in these days of leath- CT shortage. In Itself the use of fish skin for book-binding is no novelty; among others, shark leather had pre- viously been used for binding de luxe for the sake of its durability and beau- tiful markings.
 Cod-skin has several advantages over shark skin; 1t is more abundant. more easily procurable, and. therefore, cheaper. The appearance of the skin, unscaled and properly prepared, re- sembles snakes skin. It's strength and durability have been tested and found equal to parchment by the royal material-testing office in Berlin. It Is easy to work and literally untearable, and should therefore prove very valuable substitute for leather. not only for bookbindery, but for the manufac- ture of leather goods.

 "I cannot tell you that either. It was somewhere along this road"
 Good night sang the chief cheerily, and started down the hill.
 Boroday had come out of the Hilary Kingston place. He knew that. Right here, almost where he stopped, was where Ward had been found.

shed. BorodAy was thinking hard. It had been that unlucky swerving of a machine on the hill that had betrayed him. He knew that now. And he had just come out of the Kingston place. It was bad, very bad. Boroday rode all the way into the city with the chief dozen seats be- hind him. The chief did not follow him home. He knew where he lived, and he could lay his hand on him when he wanted him. He was going to want him now pretty soon. The Russian knew that, too.
 When he had entered his apartment and turned on the light, he found Huff standing by window. The boy ducked back as the light went up.
 For a moment the two eyed one an- other. Huff was unshaven, sunken- eyed, dirty. The contrast between this wild-eyed boy and the tall Russian was strong.
 "Well?" said fluff defantly.
 "Sit down." Boroday's tone was kind. He went to closet and got out bottle of vodka.
 "when did you have anything to eat?"
 'I am not hungry" Nevertheless Boroday forced on him little bread and meat. aT didn't know you were out until | tonight" Huff said at last, pushing his | plate away.

The Huttig news., 1917-08-18

When he was quite settled, the nurse went out Into the hall where Elinor was sitting on straight chair. She had sat there almost all of the time since Ward was carried up the night before.
 He Is sound asleep" she said smil- ingly. "He thinks I am someone named 'Elinor.' and he calls me that. As my own name is Sarah, it's rather pleasant"
 Ward had been shot on Sunday night. By the following Wednesday he was out of danger.
 On that same Wednesday the rector of Saint Jude's brought himself and his rheumatism hack to his parish.
 For three days Elinor had hardly slept or eaten. Never once had she been in Wards room, but always, day and night, she was just outside. When on that Wednesday evening the doctor said Ward would live, she went down once more into her garden.
 Many times during those three days had Elinor tried to pray to Wards God and found herself voiceless and inarticulate. But now, out of the depth of her great relief, came welllng the first prayer of her life. She stood waist-deep among her phlox and lark spur.
 "I thank thee," she said. "I thank
 Nothing had been heard of Huff. The assault on the assistant rector of Saint Jude's had been of line with the other mysterious happenings around the village. The little town was hag-ridden with fear. Extra con stables had been sworn In, and from tine hall, during her long night vlgils, Elinor had seen many lighted win dows, where there had been but the one.
 The problem of her future began to obsess her. It was plainly impossible to stay on here-not that she feared exposure; she was quite past fear but the thought of going on with her life was intolerable. To meet Ward, to see again the scorn and loathing ID his eyes, more than all, to continue ta deserve them-those were the things that to Elinor seemed worse than death itself.
 All the philosophy that old Hilary had taught her failed her now. The revolt of the individual against laws made for the masses--what had It brought her but isolation and grief? Of what use was revolt? All must ga through the mills of the gods. She knew that now. There were no ex- captions. And something else she had learned that if one is to live through great crises one must have higher power to turn to for help. She had felt it vaguely at the time of her fa- ther's death. Sitting outside Wards door she had known 1t. Every breath had been a prayer to something, she knew not what, to save him.
 q thank thee," she said again.
 The phlox and larkspur quivered about her as If under the touch of Q gentle hand.
 Boroday had been free for three days, but beyond telephone message announcing his release she had heard nothing of him. Over the wire he had advised extreme caution. She Judged from that that things were not going well.
 She knew that Huff's reckless crime would demand a scapegoat. There

We are all philosophers when we step on the other fellows toe. But it is differ ent when he steps on ours.
 One thing that you learn in the school of experience is that the quickest way to find out that a man isn't to be trusted is to trust him.
 Time may be money. But most of us would rather make up for lost time than lost money.
 A wealthy girl should have no trouble in getting man to marry her for love. Her money makes her more lovable, doesn't it?
 A woman may keep some secrets. But when she gets into an ultra-decollete gown, she is making clean breast of it

Prospects of Victory
SGirs Allied Armies

| T is still long, long way to thu 0 Rhine from the most advanced
 point of the allied line--long wher you stop to consider that most of the
 advances along the western battle front have been measured in yards instead of miles-but the British and French are slowly driving the Ger mans back. The boasted Hindenburg line and that much-heralded "retreat to victory" have not dismayed the allies. They soon got astride of the Hindenburg line and what was claimed to be strategic retirement is begin ming to look more like rout.
 This war is in many respects diff ferent from any other ever fought. For instance, rout in the old days meant just that. There have been occasions during the present war when armies became demoralized or were so fiercely attacked that they became a mob of fleeing men, but there will be nothing of that sort where one of the greatest battles of the world war is now raging. It is true that the Germans, according to British and French reports, have been so hard pressed that they have num- Der of times no sooner formed a new defensive than they were overwhelmed by the eager troops of England and France, yet they are not in flight. The Germans will continue to offer stubborn resistance, if they do not, indeed, start new offensive, and it is probable that the allied armies will never get within striking distance of the German boundary.
 Yet, those Canadians, whose gal lantry has won the admiration of the world, and the irrepressible "Tom- mics" of England and the superb sol diers of France are fired by fresh enthusiasm. They scent victory. They will give the Germans no rest. Hin denburg is no superman, but if he could turn the tide along the western front now, he could justly lay claim to the title. Germany has already exerted her maximum strength and the allies will push on through fields laid waste, ruined villages and shat tered cities, until the Teuton is ready to sue for peace.

Regarding Higher Rank for Army

MM FEN of military training or of NVU war experience have usually been in favor of higher rank than now provided for officers of large commands, but not until recently has any move been made to revive the grade of general or even lieutenant general. There seems to have been an ingrained notion in administrative circles and in Congress that major general, as rule, was as high a grade as was needed.
 No other first-class power takes that view of it. The opposition to high rank is unreasonable. But it has been so in Congress from the be- ginning. The rank of lieutenant-gen eral was created for Grant when he was put in supreme command of the union armies, and at the close of the war he was made full general. Only | two others came after him-Sherman and Sheridan-the latter being on his deathbed when Congress honored him with the highest rank. There were several lieutenant generals, but that grade no longer exists on the active list.
 The Confederate forces were or ganized on larger and more practi- cal basis-armies commanded by gen. erals, corps by Acknowledgements, divisions by major-generals and bri- gades by brigadier- generals. The Con- federacy's model was the British
 army, although the leading officers
 were West Pointers and men of more
 or less experience in the United States army.
 The amendment offered to the army
 appropriation bill when it was being
 considered in the Senate provided that
 the chief of staff while serving should
 have the rank of general; that in the
 discretion of the President general of
 ficers commanding military depart ments may have the rank of lieuten- ant general.
 , The Army and Navy Journal says l this legislation was suggested in a letter from the Secretary of War, its : purpose, as indicated by statement
 of Secretary Baker, being to equalize rank of the higher grades of the army , with that of the navy. Since the let. !; ter of Secretary Baker was written l as the Army and Navy Journal sub

The "Tuscaloosa Spirit.

'.The greatest asset any city can have is civic unity, and I think Tuscaloosa possesses this attribute as much as any city in this section of the country said B. L.. Dodson, a well known attorney of Tuscaloosa, who was here yesterday. "While we claim that the resources and advantages of Tuscaloosa are second to no city in the state. we feel that our greatest growth in the future is to come from the cooperative effort of public spirited citizens who are working to- gether now as never before.
 ''The industrial development of our city and district started about seven years ago and since that time this spirit has grown stronger all the time. If we keer on like we are now going, the people of Birmingham and other southern cities will have to stop referring to the Ala hama spirit and will have to say 'Tusca- loosa spirit
 And the best of it is that just because we lose something which we have worked for and to which we think we were en' titled. we do not quit. The people ol Alabama will hear from Tuscaloosa more and more each year"
