know that this country is aiding the allied nations
in exterminatng so-caled "kultur' and in estab-
fishing peace earth for centuries at least The
boys will give thanks because they have been
privileged to give their services their money for
Liberty bonds and their lives, if necessary, to
bring to close this worst struggle Of all the ages.
At the naval stations elaborate programs have
been prepared. Mrs. William A. Moffett, wife of
the commandant of Great Lakes naval training
station, early conceived the idea Of giving a big
Thanksgiving dinner to the 10000 boys now train
ing there. Actuated by her splendid mother spirit,
Mrs. Moffett confded her wish to Of her
friends.
"Can't we do something to bring home little
closer to the boysafpr just day?' Mrs. Moffett
asked. s.Many Of the young boys actually need to-
pass Thanksgiving In real home-they have been
separated from their people so long that their
hearts calling out for glimpse into home
where there is mother, father, noisy
children and home-cooked food"
Mrs Moffett's idea quickly became popular. A
committee was formed to secure the boys who
were to accept the of invitations from Chi
cagoans and other hOspitabe people along the
north shore of Lake Michigan who showed de-
sire to entertain the jackies on Thanksgiving day.
Chaplain Charles w. Moore lent his aid in select
ing the boys for the invitations. More than 1000
young were granted liberty to visit the homes
where they are guests of honor for real Thanks

An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse

If mermaids were no bigger than some fairies,
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
are creatures familiar enough, though most people
have never one alive. Summer visitors at
the seashore find them for sale-very dead, and
dried-at shops that specialize in marine curios.
The sea horse (naturalists say is of the
most ancient of fishes. 1t is one of natures
oldest imitations-a "camouf1age" so to speak
It has a horselike head, and its body is SO
shaped as to resemble the neck of that quadru-
ped But really when one comes to examine it,
the thing it counterfets is the Knight piece Of
the chessboard.
The sea horse has tubelike snout, at the end
of which the mouth and jaws. It's head Is
topped by a sort of coronet. Clad in a complete
suit of armor plates, it cannot fex it's body like
other fishes, and it's fnless tail is of no use for
locomotion.f
It feeds on small shrimps and other crusta-
ceans. Occasionally, uncoiling it's tail from the
supporting plant it swims slowly, not like other
fin vibrating rapidly.
Like other fishes the sea horse possesses an
air-bladder, which is always distended by guam
tity Of gas so exactly adjusted for equilibrium
that, If a single bubble larger than the head
of small pin be extracted, the creature falls to
the bottom and must crawl about until the wound
is healed and fresh supply Of gas has been
secreted.
But the most remarkable point about the sea
horse is that the male is provided with an ex-
ternal machpouch, in which, at the mating sea-
son, the female deposits her eggs. The lining
membrane Of the pouch secretes nutritious fluid
on which the young, when Matched, are fed When
they are big enough to take care of themselves
the father sea horse rubs his stomach against
Wrinkle shell or some other convenient object apd
by this means forces them out Int the water.

Teaching Youth Courtesy.


It is true that the one-time honored
"ma'am" has gone to voyage. Yet
wait-what takes it's place? Sometimes
nothing. Poor modern child
Little Willie, you see, is taught that
''ma'am is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, a mode of address only to
be used by servants, indeed, and so
his youthship comes out with an
abrupt 'sNo'' or a brief Eyes," to old
ladies and playmates alike, an ex-
change observes.
The really correct thing for Willie
to be taught is that the name or rela-
tionship of the persons addressed must
be given in place of that socially os-
tracized "ma'am." He must say Eyes,
mother" or mo, father" if he has
been taught not to use "sir'), or mo,
Mr.. Smith or Miss JONES'" as the case
may be.
The mentioning of persons name
when speaking to him or her is always
a pleasant little mark of courtesy,
even from one older person to another,
and is charming to hear from child's
lips.

Rome in the days Of Augustus was city Of
more than 100000 persons, aud it did not have
single hospital.
The city was built mainly of brick, with narrow,
tortuous streets. But it had some broad and
well-paved thoroughfares the fashionable avenue
being the famous Appian way which was the
metropolitan terminus so to speak, of one of the
great military roads that radated from Rome as
center to all parts of the empire
The houses of the rich, and even those of the
fairly well-to-do, supplied with running wa
/ ter. No modern system Of aqueducts surpassed
that of ancient Rome, and the water was dis
tributed to dwellings by underground pipes that
furnished the fluid through lead pipe connections
to tanks elevated pillars at regular intervals
along the street. From these tanks lead pipes
carried the water to the houses on either side,
which were provided with faucets and basins like
houses Of today.
This in itself is very interesting fact, because
even two centuries ago there such ade-
quate system of water supply for cities anywhere
in the civilized world. In respect of this import
ant item of civilization, the destruction of Rome
by war put the world back about 1900 years.
When julius Caesar first visited Alexandria in
Egypt the occasion on which he was captured by
the Greek charms of Cleopatra, he found there
complete an underground watersupply system
that the city seemed Hollow underneath"
The aqueducts of ancient Rome, substantial
mains of which still exist supplied numerous
street fountains, at which the people drank, and,
much important the enormous bath build
ings, erected and maintained at fabulous expense
by various emperors.
There were no street lamps. Soldiers employed
as policemen carried torches through the streets.
It method corresponding nearly to that in
use in European cities couple of centuries ago.
Stoves were unknown and dwellings were heat
ed with braziers Of charcoal Olive Oil lamps and
candles Of tallow and wax furnished domestic IL
Elimination. House furniture-sofas, chairs, bead
steads and what not-much resembled in pattern
what we have today, and for the rich was no less
luxurious.
Grain was ground by watermills and windmills
Boats on the Tiber carried mill wheels that were
driven by the current of the river. Chickens were

giving dinner. Most of the boys to be taken
to church. services before the dinner Automobile
rides and other forms of entertainment constitute
the afternoon program. Probably every boy will
feel an impulse to write a message to mother.
What is being done at Great Lakes where the
largest naval training station of the world is To-
Gated, is typical of the programs at the other
training stations
On every battleship guarding coast lines in
every submarine craft which bears American
sailors, or every other ship manned by the blue
Jackets at least portion of Thanksgiving day will
be devoted to meditation. Religious services will
be held on many of the ships.
Turkey dinners with several courses, topped off
with ice cream other delicacies, to be
served to all of the navy And as they eat
the boys will appreciate as never before the sig
nificance of Thanksgiving and the turkey dinner.
They will better understand the hardships which
the Pilgrims endured in order that they might
establish a people who should be at liberty to
worship as they fit.
And as they think of the fortitude of the men
who fought hunger, and cold, and disease, and
death in order that somewhere there should be a
country where people could be assured of liberty,
the jackes sincerely offer up their gratitude to
the power which has made it possible for them
to aid in preserving this nation from the loss Of
that priceless liberty.

ksWHAT WAR DID TO ROME

They were wiped out, together with nearly every
thing that was worth while in the way of cviliza-
ton, by barbarous tribes. whose notion Of war
fare was "frightfulness" carried to the ultimate
extent. These tribes were largely the ancestors
of the present-day Germans. What they are to-

In face of The heavy increase N

mate OF the American crop for 1917

This shortage in the production OF

II Is 20 milton bushels short Of the

II Is 81 million bushels short OF
