One Family apoes bel eIt."

1t Is not very often that these mem
bers Of one family take the town by
storm simultaneously, but this, says
the Christian Science Monitor, is the
record of the Geddeses-push-and-go
Geddesses, they have been termed. Sir
Eric Geddes has not long become first
lord of the British admiralty; he has
done great many things and aston.
ished a vast number Of people since
the war began; his brother, DR.. Camp
bell Geddes, Is now the head of ma.
tional recruiting on a civilian basis
to be intrusted with the writing of a
fresh chapter in the history of recruit.
ing at this stage Of the proceedings
is in itself the highest testimony to
high qualities. The third Geddes to
win prominence is the sister of these
two brothers, Mrs. Chalmers Watson,
who, after performing valuable serv.
Ices in France, has now become com.
mander In chief Of the new Women's
Auxiliary Army corps, whose numbers
will probably quite shortly run into
six figures.

CITES FOLLY OF WORRYING
Retired Business Man Offers Some
Good, HomeIy Philosophy Based
on Long Experience.

A retired business man now Lying
in soldiers home writes the follow
ing letter to a friend ID the dry goods
market, and its homely philosophy and
confidence will be found refreshing:
"Since saw you have entered on
my seventy-seventh year. My expert

prison showed me how little, after all,

EVERY STATE HAS ITS STAR
Arrangement Of Field Of Blue on Flag
10 Definitely Regulated by Law
and Executive Order.

Did you know that every star IN our
American flag has Its own individual
and particular state which 1t repre-
sents and that its placement on the
square of blue Is carefully and def
nitely regulated by law and executive
order?
In 1912, on October 20, the last ex-
ecutive order concerning the flag was
made, and 1t provided for the specific
arrangement Of the stars, says the De
troit Free PressI They were to be
arranged in six horizontal rows Of
eight stars each. Starting in the
right upper left-hand corner and plao-
ing each row from left to right, the
star corresponding to each state is
named In the order Of the states rati-
ficaHon of the constitution.
Thus star No. 1, in the upper left
hand corner, is for Delaware. Star
Nd. 4S, In the lower right hand cor.
ner, IL for Arizona.

SOME FAMOUS BATTLE CRIES
~Marmalade Forever" Peculiar Slogan
Which Scotch Regiment Orig
mated During Charge.

"Marmalade foreveri' This quaint
battle cry originated from a certain
Scotch regiment during a charge in
the present war, says London An.
swers. "Stand, the Camerons !" is the
roar Of another regiment of the kilt
ies." and serves to corroborate the
fact that as official reports have 1t,
"the spirit Of our troops is excel
lent"
Among others there is the gallant
cry Of "Stick 1t, Welsh !" uttered by
the late Captain Haggard, which has
been an inspiration to many Welsh
bards It is sad to recall that Capt. e.
Langdale, whilst encouraging his
men with the gallant cry of "Come on,
the Leicestershires fell on the field.
But the Leicestershires did "come on"
with disastrous results to the Huns.
We must not forget, however, that
famous cry Of "Kamerad!" uttered by
whole German regiments, which has
perhaps, encouraged our men more
than any otheR There is an amusing
tale told Of one Of our Tommles who,
during a charge, was about to give
a certain Hun glimpse Of the
"great beyond" when up went Fritz's
hands.
"Kameradl" he yelled.
Tommy lowered his bayonet.
"Hang It'll" he muttered. THAT'S
the blooming word was trying to
think Of when arguing with Nobby
Smith,"

Andrew Lang's rhyme on the Life
and Letters" plague would not apply
to Jane Austen, the centenary Of
whose death we celebrated recently,
says the London Chronicle. Sixty
years passed away before any blog-
raphy Of her appeared. Once the ball
was set rolling, however, 1t soon gath
cred force, and the number Of "Lives"
of that most modest of authoresses
which have appeared since have amply
made up for the previous neglect. So
little did Miss Austen like publicity
that Mr.. Austen-Lelgh has told us that
during her lifetime "few of her read,
ers knew even her name, and none
knew more than her NAME" and on
her death In 1917 there was no men
ton of her or her writings in any Of
the periodicals of the day.

Would Tunnel EnuIIsh Channel.

A machine for tunneling the English
Channel In 35 days has been brought
to the attention of the British govern
ment by Mr.. John X. Hencken, a civil
engineer Of New York, who states that
he has official approval Of his scheme.
The scheme contemplates boring four
tunnels by means Of eight machines
that will cut through earth and rock
at the rate Of 100 feet per hour, and
provides not only for a trackway in
each tunnel, but a driveway, along
with motor-lorries could be driven
from England to the supply bases in
France. Mr.. Hencken asserts that he
can have the tunnels complete and
ready for operation within q few
months time, and declares that. should
the scheme be carried through, 1t
would release most of the shipping
now used between England and
France.

,taIys Aerial rramways.

Before the war the aerial tramway
was utilized In various parts Of the
world for transporting materials across
chasms and up mountain sides, but 1t
remained for the Italians to adapt It
to their necessity Of negotiating the
sheer heights In Alpine warfare, &C
cording to the National Geographic
Magazine. A young engineer Of Milan
is credited with having first suggested
its present use, but 1t seems to have
exceeded In usefulness his widest
dreams. Few facts have been given
out concerning the extent Of the sys-
TEN, but when this war Is over thrill
Ing tale Of engineering feats In its con-
struction will remain to be told.

White House Closed to Visitors,

So strict is the rule against admis-
sion to the White House that the
''special-card" hours have been abol-
ished. Heretofore it has been possible
for member of congress or an official
of the government to obtain a card
from Secretary Tumulty admitting a
constituent or friend to the lower
floors of the mansion. This is now alb
solutely forbidden, and there are no
exceptions. Those surrounding the
president will take no chances.
