hearsal. We'll take just about fifteen minutes,
before we begin, in smiling at our neighbors and
getting little community spirit
Fifteen minutes later songs were being voiced
in such manner, says news dispatch, as to
prove the worth Of the fifteen smiling minutes,
and throughout the rehearsal the glad notes came
tunblng over each other direct from the heart.
Before the chorus adjourned the director
preached the following little sermon:
who can say that community singing isn't great
thing? 1t may entail sacrifices for OF us.
but in the end Is well worth what It costs each of
both in the pleasure give the community and the
oyment which extract from it for ourselves. per
just naturally must be happy when singing and the
joyousness spread the community for
from the heart are contagious"
The theme may be amplified to include all
kinds of work. A smiling brings cheerful
ness to his task. He radiates happiness. A hap
ply disposition constant sniler, is boon to ev-
cry organization
If community singing will spread cheer:
brighten burdened souls and increase good will
among ben, it is feature that commends itself
to our city. It's cultivation should be encouraged
and fostered
When the community singing Of our own city
is under way the smile serum ought to be inject
ed at once. It will increase the happiness of the
singers and communicate itself to their relatives
and friends. Singing and smiling good anti
dotes for Encouragement and the blues

2. The only serious aspect of this
question is that submarines will limit
the transportation of petrol to the
Entente, as tankers are slow boats
Conveying is depended on to get petrol
to the allies, the tankers to be sent in
fleets, guarded by fast destroyers.
3. Three developments have enter
ed into the reduction of submarine ef
ficiency. They are increased PROTECT
ency by armed guards on merchant
men, an increased number OF destroy
ers and development of devices design
ed to disguise merchantmen from
scouting submarines.
The last two developments entirely
are due to the entrance of the United
States into the war. The destroyert

distance, has been perfected by an
American to a point where 1t is only
one more step to make merchantmen
invisible.
The American is Thomas A. Edison.
For months 1t has been heralded about
that he was at work on an invention
to eliminate submarines. But the plan
he was working on was no sensational
invention to blow up and destroy U.
boats. 1t was. instead, method OF
hiding the masts and painting the yes,

It was declared at the Navy Depart

with the Edison method now are "as
invisible as the submarines" Confid
ence was expressed that they soon will

horizon.

KATIE'S STORY OF HER MYS-

Dicky drew low chair in front Of

But Katie was Historically Juggling

Edison Has No Device to Rid
Seas of U-Boats; His Plan
is to Make Ships Invisible

WASHINGTON Oct. is. - Detailed
Information reaching the government
has confirmed the opinion in official
circles that the submarine crisis is
past.
Germany. building more U-boats
than ever before, is obtaining less re-
suits than at any time since-and even
before-its proclamation OF unrestrict-
ed undersea warfare.
This information included figures as
to the number of submarines captured
and the number believed to have been
sunk. Officials acquainted with them
declare the total would give a thrill
of establishment and satisfaction to the
allied peoples, should they be made
| public.
New U-boats Shells.
! While it is admitted that Germany
probably is increasing its fleet Of T.
boats, the destruction being less than
the reported output, the new U-boats
show the depreciation Of Germany's re-
! sources. They merely are shells with
engines in them, compared to the pow
erful submersibles Germany had in the
| early months of its campaign.
Many are not much better than
death traps, it is declared, and the
opinion is expressed that many Ger.
man submarines are lost through the
risks Of the sea, which, if added to the
allies toll. would throw the balance
the other way
/ The situation still Is serious, and
there is no attempt to underestimate
it, but the belief here Is that the Ger.
man tide is receeding on sea as we'll as
on land, and that while a tonnage
nhertage will continue and handicap
seriously the nations fighting Ger
many. the danger point has been left
to the rear.

Let the Big Brothers Get Busy

The mothers are looking after the interests of
the boys in the training camps and trenches.
What about the big brothers?
Hardly family in the country that does not
have member in the national army or with
the regulars.
If the big brothers will take personal inter
est in the welfare of their younger brothers
a vast amount of good will be accomplished and
many homesck and lonely heart made glad
If the kid has joined the colors, the big broth
er owes it to the kid to see that he is kept IN
pocket money and that he does not run out of
tobacco if he uses the weed.
Papers, magazines, and articles of comfort are
slight tokens, but they assume monumental pro-
portions when they reach kid in one of our
country's environments.
The big brothers often overlook these little
things, not because they are not generous and big
hearted but because they are negligent.
The lad who leaves home for the army often
is getting his first taste Of life away from IA
niliar environment Homesickness and dissatis-
faction may assail him. If his brothers show
him tangibly that they have not overlooked his
patriotic impulse, the kid will accept his new
life with satisfaction and accommodate himself
easily and quickly to the new surroundings.
Every big brother has opportunity to help
the kid in these days of preparation for the great
war.

HOT TEA BREAKS
C0LD-TRY THIS

Get a small package Of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
of the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon 1t, pour through a sieve and
drink teacup full at any time. 1t is
the most effective way to break cold
and cure grip, as it opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking cold at once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely vege-
