It may be. therefore that the incom-
ing of lace as a powerful fashion for
the summer may not bring forth the
best of results in costumery. What a
woman owns in the way of fine lace
she will not cut and reshape except un-
der the lash of conviction that she can
do nothing less il she is to make use
of her possession.

Substitute for Copper.

The use of soft steel and iron as
a partial substitute for copper in the
manufacture of decorative metals is
being experimental with in the depart
ment of manual arts at the University
of Wisconsin.
For years it has been traditional for
decorative metal products to be made
wholly or in large part of copper, brass
or some other alloy of copper. The
price of copper is now so high, more
than so cents a pound, that substi-
tute is needed in decorative metal.
The kind of steel and iron required
In this kind of work costs at present
IA cents pound. In many respects
this steel is as good, if not better, than
copper. 1t works easily, wears as
well. is not discolored or oxidized as
quickly, and for many uses is even
stronger than copper. 1t lacks the
red-gold luster. but can be given
silver-hued FURNISH, or can be decorat-
ed with paints.-University of Wiscon-

STORY OF SEkGOING STEER
it Floated Around New York Harbor
for Many Hours and Caused Much
Excitement Before Rescued.

Several longshoremen were biting
into thick sandwiches of garlic on the
water front when there came a prodi-
giOus humping on the plank under
meath. The floor of the pier gave forth
a hollow sound.
One of the longshoremen, the Brook
Ign Eagle teStifieS, swallowed his gar
lie the wrong way and let out Polish
exclamation. Then he bent over and
applied his eyes to a crack in the
woodwork. At first he could not make
out anything in the murk, but at length
pair of green eyes met his Mortified
gaze, it seemed, to his untutored mind,
conclusive evidence of a personal call
from the evil one, and when horns
raped the planking and long tail
swished the water he went away from
there very quickly. With him went
the rest of the lOngshoremen.
Up winding Fulton street they sped
and around the crooked corner into
narrow Poplar street, where they very
nearly carried the door of the Poplar
street police station off its hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told their story, as their
knees smote one against another and
their hands CROPPED feebly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought at
first it was q case of greenhouse"
whisky, but he finally sent man down
to investigate. The patrOlman found
that the apparition was only steer
which had been thrown into the river
and had swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what to do and his
police manual gave him no help. OBJ
viously he could not loosen the steers
collar and roll it over q barrel. Nor
could he give it an antidote for poison.
At last he had a bright thought and
called up the dock department, the
steer being at dock and therefore,
per Sc a fit subject for the dock de-
partment.
The dock department responded-or
part of it did-with saws. Then having
opened q nice round hole in one of the
city's docks, it's work was done, and it
sent for the S. p. G. A. The S. P. c. A.
does all hosting jobs appertaining to
steers. mustangs or other animal flOt-
sam lifted from the river.
Some brave man passed a rope
around the middle of Taurus and every
body gave q 'YO, heave hop Up came
the steer and stood dripping on the
dock with the seaweed hanging from
his TANKS.
This steer is supposed to have been
in the river for As hours before it was
rescued.

WHY SOLDIERS MUST BE FLEx.
IRLE IN MOVEMENT.

Any body of troops must be flexible
in movement, since it may be neces-
sary at any instant to change its pNr-
pose or direction. While such a body,
without well-defned rules, would be
most cumbersome and unwieldy-if
not impossible-to handle, it must, in
fact, respond to commands more quick
ly and precisely than a boat to its
rudder, or an automobile to Its wheel.
A column of troops must not only
learn to turn at an exact right angle,
but, with equal celebrity, it must be
able to shift its movement in any spe-
cited direction, even to the exact re-
verse, without losing as much as
step.
BY the commands, column right or
'Ieft," fright Qeft) turn" "by the
right QefD flank" right Qeft)

and ito the rear" q unit may at once
be able to switch direction toward
any desired objective.
When a company is in column OF
squads, that is, four men abreast, to
change direction the command "col-
umn right Ceft) march" is given, and
at the word march," the head of the
column turns sharply, at right angle
in the specified direction. This is done
on what is called a moving pivot,
which will later be explained in the
school of the squad. Fright Qeft)
turn" is executed when a company is
in line, that is, fifty-six men abreast,
and the line also turns on a moving
pivot to right or left, as the case may
be. Right turn" is executed by a
squad as well as company.

Communal Kitchens.

It is expected that, with the assent
of the food controller of Great Brit
ain, an experiment in the use of COM
munal kitchens will be in vogue very
soon. The need for these aids to the
feeding of the people, is threefold;
the large number of families who are
unable, through ill-health or other
causes, to participate in the economic
advantages of the war; the difficulty
of obtaining suitable and nourishing
food for children; and the necessity
of having an organization like this in
direct touch with the central headquar-
tiers. The food once cooked at the
central kitchen would be sent out in
large tin-lined boxes or double cans
to the various depots for sale, and in
these big, closed receptacles it would
keep hot a long time. At the depots it
might be we'll to supply hot plates for
the food to stand on so that when
bought it would need little relocating
before it was served, says London
correspondent. The demand for va
riety of diets can all be met, and
plans have already been thought out
for dealing with a thouSand-and-one
interesting questions that arise.

Not Satisfied.

The lady had heard a stranger in a
railway carriage say that if any man
could see himself intoxicated he would
never be intoxicated again, and, haV-
ing a husband addicted to alcoholism,
and also plenty of money, she thought
of experimenting. The kinematograph
operator whom she engaged was not
kept waiting long for an opportunity
of filming the Grant husband, and in
the presence of relations the subject
was privileged to behold himself on
the screen. He was very quiet through
out, and gravely left the room, which
the others thought a good sign. Find
ing he had also left the house, his
brother set out to find him, running

Fifty years ago the average length
of human life in the United States
was in the neighborhood of thirty
four years. Today the average Ameri-
can citizen lives to be forty-five years
of age And fifty years from now
the average human life will have
heightened to almost sixty years.
All of this gain in heightened life
is due to the practice of disease pre-
vention. And if the world would put
into practice all that is known of dis
ease prevention today, the life of even
the present generation might be
heightened by dozen years or so.

SEA SOLDIERS GOOD SHOTS
There Is Story From Vera Cruz That
Tells of the Workmanship of
Uncle Sans Marines.

The marines know how TO handle o
rifle; 80 per cent of the force are quail
flied, listed shots. There is a story
from Vera Cruz that tells of good
shooting and a sure eye, Henry Reu-
terdahl writes in the Youths Com
panion.
Our bluejachets were marching ur
the street from the plaza between rows
OF low two-story houses. A well
dressed Mexican, with a newspaper
over his knee, was sitting on the bal
cony of his house, apparently intent on
watching our sailors advance; but hid
den under the paper he held big re-
vOlver, and as our men went by he
fired. The bullets were striking, but
our officers could hardly suspect a
well-dressed Mexican, reading a paper
and looking peacefully on from his
own house, of being the sniper.
Dropping his paper, the Mexican
went inside to reload. When he came
out again on the balcony the CLINT of
the gun caught the attention of Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on horseback in
the plaza, 1000 or more yards away.
Through his eight-power field glass the
colonel saw plainly the flash of the
shots under the newspaper.
"Get him." he said, turning to his
orderly.
The man raised his rifle, pressed the
trigger-and the Mexican fell out of
his chair.
Got him, SIR" said the marine.

COMMANDS AND HOW AND WHY
GIVEN.


ponds great deal upon the way in
which it is given. While it is true
that green soldiers may not be able to
execute in a clean-cut way q command
which has been properly given, even
veteran troops will become slipshOd if
n command is mumbled or drawled in
a spiritless fashion by their command
er. This would be the fault of the Off
cer for the work of a soldier is a
credit to, or reflection upon, the abil-
ity of his officer. Nevertheless, if SOL
der will not apply his intelligence and
responsiveness to the words he hears
lin short, if he goes to sleep on his
feet-then the best officer in the world
cannot make real soldier of him.
Every command is divided into two
parts, or, into two separate commands.
The first is called the preparatory
command-the second the command of
execution.
The preparatory command is intend
ed to inform the soldier of the move
ment which is to be executed. 1t should
be given with rising infection, for 1t
not only should inform the soldier, but
it should bring his faculties to poise
ready for instant response to the sec
ond half of the command, or the COM
mand of execution.
The rising reflection has the effect
of balancing the sOidier-psyeholog
ally-On the edge of the movement.
Yet he must not twitch a muscle, on
receiving it. The whole movement is
damaged if one soldier anticipates the
command of execution or even exhibits
nervous shiftings of the hands and
feet.
The command of execution is given
at the precise instant the movement is
to commence.
While the tone of the preparatory
command must be animated" the
command Of execution is required by
the infantry drill regulations to be
more energetic"-"firm in tone and
brief" In other words and in plain,
unmilitary English, the command of
execution must sound like a pistol shot
and authoritative in the extreme,
bringing instant obedience from the
soldier.
A short interval should always
elapse between the preparatory COM
mand and the command of execution.
In the drill regulations, the former is
printed in black italics and the latter
in black capitals.
A command is given as follows:
FORWARD MARCH ~ ABOUT
FACEw COLUMN RIGHT .
MARCH!" "LEFT OBLIQUE .
MARCH ~ FRIGHT SHOULDER .
ARMS" Company (squad) .
HALT"
When, as is the case in a few in
stances, the command is single word,
it is divided by syllables into a prepa-
ratory command and command of ex-
ecution. Thus, attention" is pro-
nounced:
"Aten TIONi"
Commands, signals or orders are
the three classes of directions given to
troops-many commands being by sig
mails. These signals may be conveyed
either by whistle, the bugle, pre-
scribed motions of the commanding Of
ficer's arms, or by flags. An order is
employed only when the commands pre-
scribed do not sufficiently indicate the
will of the commander. In other
words, commands are of a limited and
more or less rigid nature, while spe-
cial instructions to one or more men
constitute an order. This may be COM
municated either by word of mouth, in
writing, by telephone, telegraph, or by
flag signals.
