made either to move the vessels or
scuttle them at their berths.

Health Hints.

Wearing the same weight under
clothing the year around will save
you a lot of colds.
Dress cool when you walk and warm
when you ride.
Your nose, not your mouth, was
given you to breathe through.
Clean skin, clean socks, clean I'M
derwear every day.
Don't sit still with wet feet. Walk
until you have chance to change.
Never let day pass without cover
ing four miles on foot.
See how high you can hold your
head and how deeply you can breathe
whenever you are out of doors.
Getting mad makes black marks ON
the health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin
any digestion.
Nature never punished a man for
getting his legs tired. She has pun
ished many for getting their nerves
exhausted.

War On Rats and Mice Is
Urged as Means of Aiding
Food Conservation Efforts

Rats and mice have too much their
own way In some households. Their
unhampered excursions into pantries
and larders will menace food conser-
walton efforts this year. Get a num-
Der of traps and fight them. Persist
ent trapping will put an end to these
raiders, according to specialists In the
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture. PoIsons
properly safeguarded are effective, but
their use in dwellings usually is unde-
sirable because none is known which,
when eaten by rat, will prevent de-
composition of the body.
For both rats and mice the common
guillotine or Choke" traps with a
wooden base and wooden bait pan are
recommended rather than those having
metal base and pan. These traps
should be set with a light trigger.
Oatmeal usually is the most effective
bait. A few grains of 1t should lie on
the trigger pan and few more be
scattered near the trap. A change of

He Knew His Master.

Persons coming out of the Grand
Central stations carriage side In New
York recently noticed little white fox
terrier with such a clean coat, trim
collar and pert, anxious expression
that he won countless words of greet
ing from the passengers. Perhaps even
petted him-men, women and children
many of them about to step into
waiting automobiles. The dog was
merely annoyed by the attention, for
he continued to watch the doors alert
ly and neither growled nor wagged his
tail at the kindly disposed passengers.
Little girls offered him candy, excel
lently dressed women asked him what
his name was and men with luxurious
automobiles tried to whistle him into
a life of luxury. He seemed to be a
stone pup. At quarter past five a
man In blue overalls and carrying a
large, oily bundle and glistening dinner
box came out from the baggage room.
The hitherto stationary dog leaped into
the air, barking with all his might,
somersaulted and tried to knock the
big fireman over. This happened to be
the man he was waiting for.

Prospecting for Platinum.

A special survey to estimate exist
ing platinum fields and locate new
ones is being made by the bureau OK
mines. 1t seems that the United States
produces only 10 per cent Of Its own
platinum requirement. Platinum Is q
war necessity of the first Importance
owing to its use in the chemical
branches of the munitions industry. 1t
Is felt that the United States should
produce all its own platinum, as there
are undoubtedly sufficient ore depos-
it's, needing only to be properly ex-
plotted. The bureau of mines has de-
tailed three men to the investigation
In California, Oregon and the Appala-
chan region. At present most Of the
worlds platinum supply comes from
Russia.

Knee Brooches for All Men
May Be Style After the War

One of the possible results OF the
great war is the reform of mems dress
The trousers that bag at the knee are
coming into disrepute, owing to the
fact that so many million men wear
knee breeches as they fight.
Even the kits of the Scotch. when
there has been a disposition to ridi-
Guile, are found to be most useful ON
the fighting line, says the Columbus
Dispatch. For men of action knee
breeches are more comfortable ana
less cumbersome, and soldiers are ask
ing why men have been content all
these years to wear stovepipe castings
on their legs. And they are the men
who are going to exert influence after
the war. Their disinclination to re-
turn to trousers and their example, to-
gether with the fact that other peo-
pie have become accustomed to seeing
men in knee breeches, may put trou-
sers out of business altogether.
There is going to be a new world
after the war, and knee breeches for
men may be part Of 1t.

once more one TO he feared in the
American league.
Discussing Mack and his newly
made team recently, Bill Donovan
said that he would rather play almost
any club In the league than send his
men into contest against the Mack
men.
They wont win any pennant this
year." Donovan commented, but
they're going to fight mighty hard for
every game they go into. From this
time on they're going to improve. I'm
a mighty mistaken student of this ma
uonal pastime II the Athletics are not
found kicking considerable dust
around before the end of the 1918 cam
paign gets here"
Donovan figures and so does every
other baseball manager who has had a
glimpse of him-that Ray Bates is one
or the finest players the minor leagues
have yielded in many day. He also
believes Witt the equal of any short
stop In the American league, with the
possible exception of Roger Packin-
paugh, his own short fielder. Second
base is problem, but McInnis is fully
the equal, perhaps the superior, OF
any man doing first base duty.
There isn't thing wrong with that
outfield of Connie Mack's," Donovan
ruefully remarked. II only wish I
had pair of those birds working for
me. i might have a chanca 70 ~ =
pennant before he makes the goans
so rough"
Where is the manager who wouldn't
like to have Bush Myers and Moves
pitching for him; and where, oh.
where can you find big Lacquer who
wouldn't spend several thousand DOL
lars for Wallie Schang?

Our lives are albums written through,
With good or i'll. with false or true,
And as the blessed angels turn
The pages of our years,
God grant they read the good with smiles,
And blot the III with tears.
Putting an old head on young shoul-
ders never has been accomplished, and
never will be. How could one except
an innocent, playful kitten to be as
wise as those of its kind who have
summered and wintered life? How
could one expect the little lambs gam
boiling over the lea to fear the fate of
those who have gone before, or the
little speckled trout to be as wary as
the older fish that have successfully
lodged many bait set for their I'M
doing?
Youth knows none of lifes perils. 1t
is satisfied with the pleasures of to-
day. 1t thinks the sun will always
shine and joys are always to last. Ones
duty Is to warn the young where the
shoals and pitfalls lie. But will they
heed? Not they. Warnings and scold-
ings come in one ear and go out the
other. That's the proclivity of youth
not to want to hear anything unpleas-
ant. While girls should not be brought
up with the idea that they are human
butterflies and joys are all that Is
worth while in life, the cares that are
thrust upon their young minds should
be offset with an equal amount of

Cardiff is Prosperous.

Cardiff. Wales, has become known as
the Pittsburgh Of the British Isles. Like
the American city, the coal mines are
largely responsible for its boom, al
though shipping has played no small
part. Some men who were shipping
clerks two years ago now own a string
of ships and coal miners are making
500 a week.
Just to show that it has made a lot
of money, Cardiff invested $150,000,000
In the last British war loan. This
works out at the rate Of more than $3.50
head of the population and is the
most remarkable of all the contribu-
tons that came from any one city In
the British Isles.

the most of. After-life hold much that
Will cause them to be serious enough.
Parents should make an effort to
keep the home so attractive for their
daughter that she would be pleased to
invite her young friends there. 1t is a
great satisfaction for parents to know
just what kind of companions of both
sexes their daughter takes to-. The
home roof is always a safe meeting
place. Those who are denied compan-
ionship at home may grow out Of the
desire for bright, happy friends about
them, becoming morose and dissatis-
fed. The happy girl grows into a con-
tented, satisfied woman. She has had
what joys happy girlhood has had to
offer and is content to enter the most
serious path of life. She who never
had her youthful fling feels that the
world owes her something; that she
has been cheated of her rightful dues.
Those with whom a girl is surrounded
make her happy or unhappy. All duty
and cares thrust upon her make her a
dull girl. Use caution in checking
laughter on girls lips. 1t comes from
her heart. Parents should give their
daughters all the pleasures In reason
which they can afford. Let them have,
If you have nothing else to leave them,
the legacy of joyous youthtime.

The trouble with public life is
that 1t isn't nearly so public, as a
rule, as 1t should be-
Success is just doing a little
bit better today the things that
were done fairly well yesterday.
It's easy enough to get along
In this world. It's only the fell
lows who want to do it the east
est way who make hard work out
of it.
The trouble with the man who
walls that he was led astray is
that he probably made no partic-
ular effort to travel In the right
way.

as the before and after patent

HEAVIER AIRPLANES
ARE WAR NECESSITY

Washington, Oct. Gothic day of
thrilling air duels between individual
avtators in Europe appears to be pass
ing. Both official and unofficial ad-
vices recently have shown increasing
use Of heavier machines with greater
armament and the development of air
machines appears to be paralelling
closely the development of fighting
ships.
There are indications that amend
ment already has been necessary in
the program for creating the huge air
fleets provided for by congress. While
there will be no lack Of small fighting
planes. it is probable that stress is
being laid now on the bombing craft
and upon the increasing speed of
these heavier machines and giving
them adequate armament.
Already the engineers who designed
the Liberty motor are at work on
planes for even more powerful plants,
1t Is understood. At the same time
the Liberty. motor is now provided at
rate that assures sufficient sup
ply when American flyers are as
sembled in force over the fighting
lines.
