FOOD ORDERS ARE OBSERVED
Meatless and WheatIess Menu in Con-
nection With Lord Mayors Annual
Banquet at Mansion House.

At last the gaunt figure of famine
tas stalked into the Mansion House
and edited the menu of the lord may
Or's banquet. There. everybody who
knows anything about English history
or about good eating, knows that the
center, the very palate, of gourm2nd-
Use is situated, according to q London
correspondent.
The British empire is ransacked for
edibles and potables to furnish forth
lhs aldermanic holiday And when
the Occasion's star guest, the premier
rises to shake the pillars of the world
with his address, the guests are often
in such a state of torpor that they
have to scan the morning papers to
find out what he really said. Blu: war
has changed all that. When the time
for this Years banquet approached,
London's sensational press began to
shout for a war menu so loudly that
his lordship had to come out and as
sure the reporters of the meatlessness
and wheatlessness OF the coming feast.

Glass colored by the light Of short

in color are among the curious effects
produced with the new X-ray tube OF
81. Rosenthal, a New Jersey expert
menter. Several kinds Of optical glass
we're affected, and became progressive

low and brown tints. A variety sup
posed to contain manganese took on
the amethystine OF purple tint some
times acquired by window panes long
exposed to bright sunlight. Pink Call

deep green in a few minutes and some
minerals owing their natural coloring
to manganese were also changed In
color. The special X-ray tube Is about
four inches in diameter. A rod OF
molybdenum supports an anode Of
solid tungsten, which is water-cooled,
and the cathode Is an electrically
heated spiral Of tungsten. The bulb Is
cooled by compressed air. The tube Is
operated by a h~igh-tension transform
er, and its effects can be modified or
regulated by varying the voltage and
the cathode temperature.

Poisoninos In MunItion Plants.

The Industrial intoxications arising
from the making Of war munitions
open a quite new field Of study. Alice
in her investigation among
10000 workers in Al plants, found that
the real cause Of illness was recog-
'nized by few even among the factory
but there was evidence Of
poisoning In 2,5OS cases, Of which IS
resulted fatally. The most harmful
materials were nitrogen oxide fumes
and trinitrotoluene, which, with ben
zine, caused all but three Of the fatal
~poisonings. Among other injurious
substances are included nitrobenzine,
~toluene, phenol, ether, mixed acids,
sulphuric acid, picric acid, illuminate,
ammonia, mercury, nitroaphthalenes
and chlorine, but these are not likely
to produce serious results.

HE DIDN'T HAVE 100000
Man From Kentucky Thought for q
While That He Might Buy the
Coal Baron's Property.


New York is chock-full Of little pix

ly run in the five figures, q Pittsburgh
Dispatch correspondent writes. One Of
them, a nan from Kentucky, who had
wished himself into the wealthy class,
met a wealthy coal baron from Par
kersburg, W. Va, and let it be known
that he was not averse to acquiring a
good mining property. "Tve just got
the property you want" said the man
from Parkersburg. Lets have dinner
together and talk it over"
The coal man went to his room in
the hotel and brought down an arm
load Of papers. "Every n Of my
mines is a producer" he opened up.
They're all developed and are paying
35 per cent on the Investment" They
spent two hours studying the maps
and figures on the daily output and the
present price Of coal. Finally, the
question Of the amount Of money in
volved in the deal was preached. "How
much do you want for the whole prop
osition?" asked the Kentuckian. 1.-TWO
million dollars" answered the Parkers-
burg man. Gee, I hadn't figured on
putting more than $4,000 in mining"
said the man from the Blue Grass
state. "In fact, that's all I got to
spend"

THE AIR IN ALASKA
IpsopIe Of Far North Do Not Warm Up

Dawson revels today in the splendor
of the midnight sun, says the Dawson
(Yukon) News. Balsam and the vigor
Of youth are in every breath Of fresh
air. The open air Of this halcyon cline
is an ocean for. bodily nourishment.
These facts are patent. They need
no substantiation to anyone with half
an optic. And yet how many there are
in this salubrious realm who court
stupidity by sleeping in stuffy, box
tight rooms-in fetid and Impoverished
air which is poison rather than food
ito the system.
Cruise the streets Of Dawson after
midnight in this glorious midsummer
period. Note how few windows or
sleeping rooms are open; how few are
inviting the currents Of stimulating
air; and how many actually have the
windows down tight, and not even a
knothole open large enough to let IN
air for q lhicrobe.
A small percentage will be noticed
sleeping with the windows open, and a
very few have plunged right into the
open and sleep in cots on porches or In
tents. These know the JOY Of lungs
well filed with lifegiving element
throughout the hours Of sleep, and feel
the Jingle Of new life and the buo.e
ancy Of youth when they awaken. They
do not drag themselves from their pill
lows. They bound out like you did
when a boy. That's what all can do
who otherwise are blessed in limb and
form.
Get the idea. Open the doors. Throw
up the windows, or move out under the
heavens. Breathe and live.

',rigade of 5000 men. Each of
;hese is presided yer by a staff of
six secretaries, so organized that
there is a man for each Of the vari-
ous activities in which the Associa-
lion specializes. In addition there are
numerous stations manned and equip
ped among our expeditionary forces
in France and among the armies of
our allies in France, Russia, Meso-
potamia and Egypt.
Each of these buildings is provid-
ed with an outfit that comprises
ninety different articles, varying
from pianos and moving picture ma
,hineest pens, ink and letter paper.
At the present time the Association
buildings are consuming 100000
sheets of stationery every day to
enable the soldiers to write letters
home. And this costs the men not
a single cent.
But what has been and is being
lone is only a forecast of what is
vet to be done. When the American
troops begin to 60 overseas in large
numbers within the next few months,
the Association must be prepared to
do for them there what is being
done for them here, and yet cannot
move its present buildings or men
from America to France because
they will be needed right where they
are to serve the men of the second
and third drafts who will fill the
training camps vacated by the ma
tional guard and first draft of the
national army.
Then, too, there is a vast work to
be done among the fighting men of
our allies. France, which has borne
the brunt of the war so far, is in
dire need of this service and has not
the men or the money to provide it
herself.
The Italian armies have just ex-
tended an invitation to the Associa-
ton to carry its activities to their
ranks and here another 1000 men
are needed.
Russia's necessity is greatest of
all and there the field is already
white with the harvest if the "Y"
can find men and money.
1t is to meet these needs that the
Y. M. CA. is planning its great
campaign for S35,O00,000 to be
waged from November II to 10, of
which the states of the southeastern
military department have been ask
ed to subscribe $1,500,00O.

WHY CHILDREN TELL FlBS
Imagination Is Stronger Than the III.
tsliect and Fiction Is as Real to
Thorn as Fact.

Why do children lie? Edwin s. Pull
Her in the Mothers Magazine answers
1.-THE question by saying that the imagi-
nation of a child is stronger than his
intellect. that fiction is as real to q
child as fact. .
"The cure for lies inspired by imagi.
|nation,n he asserted, 'fs the education
lof the child's intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. AS his error
lis mental, not normal, his cure must
lbe mental. It would be a grave error
of training to attempt to suppress his
Imagination as a cure for his untrutas.
Imagination is the handspring which
moves his mentality to growth, hence
1T should be directed into rational chan
nels and not curbed.
"Only parents who cannot distin-
guish between an imaginative untruth
and q real lie punish such infants or
scold them for being wicked. The child
does not recognize any immoral quail
iity In his untruth because there IS
none. Therefore he does not see the
Justice of the censure or the whipping
which he has received as punishment.
But he would recognize as helpful his
mothers patient effort to untangle his
Imagination which is so helplessly COM
mingled with facts.
"About the age Of seven or eight, the
child's mental fog begins to clear and
his mentality develops to the point
where it begins to dominate his imagi-
nation. The unreal becomes more
SHARPLY defined and fancy slowly dis
Engages itself from fact. When such
mental development is reached, the
misstatements inspired by imagination
will cease. .
"The factor for the prevention and
cure Of lying in older children Is the
good example of parents. Moral suasion
lis ant to lose its effectiveness when the
mother sends her daughter to the door
to tell the caller that mother Is not IN.
The parent should be 'on honor in the
matter of truthfulness, as well as the
child. Children are great imttators.
Hold up an example Of scrupulous ad-
herence to truth and your part will
have been nobly DONE"
