Americans are learning something,
learning the most necessary things they
nave TO learn. War or no war, they are
learning that armies and navies take
time as well as money, that a strong
navy is as Indispensable for seif-defense
10 the United States with its endless
coast line, its wide-parted insular pos
sessions. It's mighty trade and commerce,
as blood to life. They are learning, at
ieast we hope they are, that the sound
way to reasonable military preparedness
Is service with the colors by all young
men of certain age for a certain time.
Economic and industrial cooperation
and mobilization come more easily into

SINGING IN ENGLISH.
The Difficulty of Sounding Certain
Words on High Notes.

English as is commonly sung has
become SO hard to understand that
musical authorities are earnestly seek
ing a remedy. And the composer is
principally to blame, says Francis
Toye, writing in the London Nation.
''That there are difficulties in sing
ing certain English sylables on GER
tain notes may be admitted" says Mr..
Toye. English, unlike German and
Italian, is not predominantly a Ian
guage of broad vowel sounds. 1t is
awkward, for instance, to sing fix or
her or sun with a loud, sustained
tone On a high note. But if compOs-
ers knew their business they would
not, save in any exceptional circum-
stances, ask the singer to do anything
Of the kind.
Half the imaginary difficulties of
singing English arise from the incOm-
petence Of many composers in setting
it to music. They seem neither to
think in terms of singing nor to study
the natural rhythm Of the language.
When they do the problems Of sing
ing in English vanish like the mist be-

Awaits The Coming Of Troops
From New England States
With Open Hands.
WELCOMES FRIENDS
AND RELATIVES ALSO
Good Old Southern Hospitality
Awaits New Enslanders in Char
Iotte, Where's Every AavailabIe Ac-
commodaton is Being Planned BY
Citizens.

Charlotte awaits the coming Of the
troops from the New England States
with open hands and their friends and
relatives as well. Their homes will
be thrown open to them. The South
ern hospitality which is somewhat
notably known throughout the nation
will be plenteOusly exercised toward
these soldiers who spend little while
here before going into the arduOus
and dangerous labors Of the trenches.
The people Of Charlotte are planning
now to put within reach of the troop
ers every available accommodation.
Public drinking fountains are being
installed, rest and comfort rooms in
the hotels, restaurants, church base
ments, public buildings and empty
store rooms will be provided and the
soldiers will have an opportunity
from time to time to take a meal in
the homes of the leading citizens of
the community. They will be made
to feel that they have not fallen
among thieves" but among their
friends.
In addition to what is being done
for them by the commission for train
ing camp activities, this commission
having for it's business chiefly the
entertainment and comfort of the
men, the provision of attractive enter
tainments, etc., but the Young Mems
Christian Association will extend It's
benefcient influence toward making
the stay of the men here pleasant and
profitable And in addition to all of
these organized agencies, the indi-
yidual citizens Of Charlotte will hold
back from the visiting guardsmen
nothing that will tend to give them a
taste of Southern hospitality and feel
the warmth and cordially of the well
come generally felt for them into this
community, for time to be their
home.
Charlotte Socially and Religiously.
Charlotte is recognized as one of
the most religious cities in the world.
This broad statement is substantiated
by the records which show that a
greater proportion Of the adult popu-
lation of the community attends d.
vine worship than in any other city in
this country and only one in the
world exceeds it, that being Edin-
borough, Scotland. The Christian
charity Of the city is notable. 1t
shows itself in ample support given

their purpose the physical and moral
and spiritual uplift of the people It

Puqnacious Earwius.

Earwigs are quarrelsome creatures
and are always ready to use their nip
pered tails against each other on the
slightest proc Ocation. When the light
Of a lamp falls upon them congregated
at the sugar some are more scared
than the others and scuttle away,
when each earWig which they nearly
touch in fight will savagely swing
back it's tail and nip in the air with
fury. Sometimes the blow falls upon
a neighbOxa which instantly retaliates,
and half dozen furious nips are rap
idly interchanged. But fighting weight
quickly settles the quarrel, the smaller
earwig scuttling off and the larger pur
suing him for several inches, running
backward and reaching savagely to
right and left with his nippers. Yet
these same earwigs, SO vind1ctive at
meals, will be crammad, all sizes to-
gether, into any hole or crack by day

DiaestibHity Of Cheese.

By experiments on the digestibility
Of cheese it has been shown that much
depends on the special physical char
acters of the food. All fat cheeses are
said to be dissolved and digested with
great rapidity, because the molecules
Of casein-the heterogeneous part of the
cheese-are separated only by the fat,
and SO the gastric juice can attack a
large surface Of the cheese at one time.
Whether the cheese be hard or soft
does not appear to influence digestion,
and there is no connection between the
digestibility and the percentage of wa
ter present in the cheese.
