America unprepared could have been
saved only because Germany did not
attack her when the protection of
England's fleet had been removed.
Therefore We as a nation owe an ever
lasting debt of gratitude to the ma
tions on the western front of Europe.
IF we look within our own doors
there is no dearth of matters which
command our gratitude. To those OF
US here a new appreciation of home
should come, when we think of the
thfrty-eight million of men under arms
in this world, away from homes for
months and years, and some away
from their earthly homes forever. IL
hitherto your home has meant little

subsidized by the rum interests are
about ready to rise up and demand in
the name of common justice that the
liquor manufacturers who claim to be
loyal citizens, conserve the nations
resources and aid the housewives by
refusing to make a useless and harm

go to feed the starving people of the
world.

Not Forgetting God.

I'VE are being driven to God. We
We're in danger of forgetting Him, but
we are being reminded before it is
too late, that the psalmist spoke a
truth when he said the nations that
forget God shall be turned into hell
Because we are turning to God we are
tearing of the padlocks of our storage
vaults to send to our brethren. We
have been spared from sacrificing the
soul Of our nation
I'VE do not expect either to fill our
Golfers or to enlarge our territory by
this conflict. But we do expect to
pour out our blood and our treasures
for the salvation of humanity. And
when we have achieved that kind of a
victory, our leaders will march to the
Place where the treaty is being drawn
up behind the flag that has never
welded a sword of conquest and they
will say We want no indemnity AS
General Grant said to General Lee at

sessions, make the best use of them
you can to develop humanity in the
high arts of civilization and right

GOOD DESCRIPTIVE MATTER.

Having written the introduction fol
the advertisement. the writer arrives
at the point where he is to tell about
the goods he is offering for sale or
that he has just received in stock to
be offered later.
This part of the advertisement is
every bit as important as those which
we have already discussed in previous
articles. Upon the clearneSS of de-
scription depends very largely the sue
cess of the advertisement in creating
desire.
Good descriptive matter is, first Of
all, free from misleading or false
statements. Then, it is written in
simple, easily understood language
that makes You almost see the mer-
chandise in your mind.
Too frequently the advertiser knows
the goods 50 we'll that he fails to real
ize that the reader knows perhaps
nothing about them and he 0mits i'm
portant details from his description
The good ad-writer places himself
in Your position and asks himself
questions that sou might ask Then
he answers them truthfully and con-
cisely with the result that you can
understand clearly the correct nature
of the merchandise.

Trade Made Palestine Great.

All that made Palestine populous
and prosperous at any time was the
course of trade. The route for eX-
change Of products between Assyria
and Egypt was over the desert of
Stony Arabia, through the gaps in the
Lebanon mountains, and over the best
ford Of the Jordan. From there the
fine wares Of ISpahan and Babylon and
Nineveh were either sent down into
Egypt, or carried a few miles farther
to the ancient city of Acre, which then
had the best harbOr on the eastern
coast of the Mediterranean. This pros
perity lasted until the harbor at Acre
began to silt up, and the course Of
trade changed to the north through
Damascus and Antioch. Then Pales-
tine became poor. because the people
went where there We're greater oppor-
tunities, as they have to this day.

FACTS ABOUT OUR NAVY
By Lieutenant Fitzhugh Green
of the Vigilantes

| Va vic NASA0uLCS
Lieutenant Fitzhugh Green of the
u. S. S. Texas Is one Of our naval
officers who is not content to do
merely as such. That is why he
writes articles to inspire interest in
the work Of the Navy and to keep
warm our patriotism. A true Vigi.
lAnte, he is turning out poems,
sketches, and exhortations in his
spare time. His naval service in
cludes two years with the farthest
north Croker Land expedition, in
which he acquitted himself with dis
tinction.
A 14-inch gun is built up from
eight or ten hoops or steel tubes.
Each is turned to an exact fit less
several thousandths Of an inch, then
heated red until expansion permits
it to be drawn on. It cools and adds
strength not only by its thickness
but by the grip Of its shrinking.
The first or inner tube has helical
grooves to give rotation to the shell
just as in any sporting rifle. Ire
mendous firing pressures between
fifteen and twenty tons per square
inch combined with acid gases and
other products Of explosion cause
erosion or wearing away and pitting
of the grooves. Inner tubes must be
renewed periodically. The life Of the
gun. so-celled, is about $50 shots.

Among the strangest stories OF the sea
are those relating to treasures fshed
from Its depths. The incident OF fish
being caught. and having In Its stom-
ach ring, has occurred so frequently
That 1t has lost It's strangeness. The
fish of the sea are voracious and not
at all discriminating. so that 1t is al
most impossible TO say what has not
been found in their stomachs. Sharks
have been made TO dsgorge pipes,
boots, books, money. clothing and hard
ware, and other fish are but little less
voracious. Vast As it is, the sea, in
course of ages, has received so many
wrecks that its bottom is storehouSe
of treasure.
