Army Report Shows Trades
Never Known to the Public

London, Feb. 1O.-(Correspondencs
of the Associated Press. THE re-
ports of the Military Tribunals, which
are still at work wedding out men for
the army, show that there are many
ways of earning q living which are
not known to the ordinary public. The
list of trades represented in days
application for military exemption
frequently reads like an extract from
a nonsense rhyme book. For example,
the report of tribunal in the east
of London shows applications from a
sourer, a splatcher, smutterman. a
weller, an unhairer, tackler and a
tenterer.
A bargain-letter, a money runner,
and a dull-dogger were among the ex-
emptions granted the other day. A

Welding Compounds.

Welding liquids are not considered
so good as the preparations in the
powder form, with the possible excep-
ton of the solution Of zinc in hydro
chloric acid which is used by timers.
A very good compound may be made
as follows:
To 20 parts Of iron filings add 10
parts borax, 1.5 parts sal ammoniac
and one part Of a resinous Oil (bal-
sam Of copaiba may be used).
The surfaces to be united are to be
powdered with this mixture, then
placed in the fire and heated to cher
ry red. When the composition melts,
remove the pieces from the fire and
weld them quickly. There are numer-
Gus preparations but most Of them
contain ammonium, chloride, borax
and sodium carbonate.-Dr. Charles

STYLES OF TRENCHES.

According to the description of a
German officer, the Germans divide
their trenches into four different
classes. There are, first, the rife pits
shallow excavations dug by the
soldier lying down under fire, about
four feet long and two feet wide,
with a low earth parapet pushed up
in front; second, the kneeling trench,
a simple ditch about three feet
wide; third the standing trench,
which has a shelf-like terrace run
ming parallel with the bottom, where
the man may stand and shoot; and
last, the improved or permanent
trench, wide and deep. with trench
street" running along the lowest
level, and first shelf or terrace two
feet higher for the trench garrison,
and a second terrace two feet above
the first and five feet below the
ground level, where the men may
mount to shoot.

Stern-faced, tired, sorefooted from
unaccustomed tramping, the man paced
along the side of q roadway 20 miles
from the city in the afternoon sun
shine. Beside the road sat little boy
and girl, each timidly clutching bas-
ket Of punches Of wood violets. The
children looked at the mans stern,
tired face and timidly kept back the
words of invitation they wanted to
speak. As the man paced by he caught
a pale, twinkling little smile in the eye
of the bOy-and out Of memOry's gal
lery there flashed a picture pic
ture of another timid, barefoot boy in
the dust of a country roadside, boy
who wanted to make fortune in nick
els and dimes from his primitive mer-
chandise-and hadn't the courage to
cry his wares.
"Give me one of your bouquets, my
boy" he said.
And he went on. Behind him rosy
smile on two little faces and with him
a ray of sunshine on the head of the
boy Of 40 years ago.-Detroit Free

AMERICAS FIRST GREAT BLOW

Through the Liberty Loan the
American people dealt their first
great blow of the war to pro-Ger-
manism in the United States and
German autocracy in Europe. Sub
scriptions to the loan were $1,035,-
226,S50 in excess of the $2,000,000,-
600 asked for by the Government.
More than 100000 persons sub
scribed. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo announced the official fig
ures Friday night. Aside from the
demonstration of nearly So per cent,
Secretary McAdoo announced that
approximately $4,000, 200 of the
subscription, or SO per cent, were for
amounts ranging from $50 to $10,-
900.
1.-The widespread distribution Of
the Liberty bonds and the great
amount of the oversubscription con-
stitute an eloquent and conclusive re-
ply to the enemies of the country,
who claimed that the heart of
America was not in the war;" said
Secretary McAdoo.

Literary Battalions.

In library we are surrounded by
many hundreds of dear friends, but
they are imprisoned in these paper
and leather boxes, and as they are
dressed, like battalions of infantry, in
coat and jacket of one cut, by the
thousands, your chance of hitting on
the right one is to be computed by
the arithmetical rule of Formulation
and combination-not a choice out of
three caskets, but out of half mill
lion caskets all alike. Would that
some charitable soul, after losing a
great deal Of time, among the false
books and alighting upon a few true
ones, which made him happy and
wise, would name those which have
been bridges or ships to carry him
safely over dark recesses and barren
oceans into the heart of sacred cities,
into palaces and temples.-Emerson.

COIN RECEIVING SYSTEM.

A newly patented system for re-
ceiving coins has just been put on
the market in New York. This sys-
tenn is intended for use in hotels
and apartment houses. 1t is design
ed to permit the occupant of a room
or apartment to pay for small pur-
chases which come to the down
stairs Office without leaving his
room, and to get change to pay small
debts at his own door without send
ing out for it. In each room there
is box containing receiving and
delivery slots for nickles, dimes,
quarters and half dollars. Each
room box is electrically connected to
central switchboard in the hotel
Office. Every coin dropped into the
box is automatically recorded at the
central switchboard, and the opera
tor can make change if necessary
by pressing button.

LOOKING UP.

The markets always looking up for
certain sort of men;
No matter what the market is, it's
getting good again.
They never taste the bitter that may
linger in the cup
Because they're like the market is,
and always looking up.
The fellow looking upward sees lot
of pleasant things
That other men are apt to miss amid
their mutterings.
He doesn't hang his head and howl
like some discouraged pup;
He sees a lot of pleasant things by
merely looking up.
1t may be dark as Egypt's night at
present where you are.
But if fellow will look up he's apt
to see a star.
When he sits down with other men
around the board to sup
1t won't be very long before they all
are looking up.

Cife.Savino or Drownino7


In an article on Sports In Girls
Camps" in st. Nicholas, Anna Worth
ington Coale describes the tests for
rescue work, or life-saving require
ment Of the United States Volunteer
Life-Savers. These tests, which are
taken by many of the older girls in
camp, put good deal Of zest into the
swimming.
I'm order to pass the tests you must
know at least three different holds
which drowning person would be
likely to make while struggling and
how to break them. You must also
be able to dive to the bottom and
bring up a supposedly drowned person
In proper form-head f1rst-and tow
her ashore, using any one Of three ap-
proved methods of carrying, as, for ex-
ample, croOking the elbow under the
chin of the victim and swimming ON
the side. You must then demonstrate
an approved method of resuscitatiOn,
usually the Schaeffer method, which
requires only one person to apply it.
The first thing on reaching shore is
to empty the water from the lungs
which, by the way, is never more than
two or three teaspOOnfuls in amount
and induce breathing by pressure on
the ribs. If you have ever been called
upon to be the victim for someone's
practice you will understand why it
Is still question In some camps which
form Of death is to be preferred; life
saving or mere drowning?"

NO DOGS ALLOWED ON TRAIN
But Conductor Had Embarrassing Mo.
ment When He Undertook to Ban
ish Canine to Baggage.

Soon after the train had started,
the conductor, in collecting his fares,
noticed a small white dog, with a
bushy tail and bright black eyes, costly
sitting on seat beside a young lady.
She was quite pretty, but the conduc-
tors duty was plain.
'cTm very sorry, madam" he said
with unusual suavity, 'but it's against
the rules to have dogs in the passen-
ger cars"
ooh! dear! is that so?" replied the
young lady, looking beseechingly from
her brown eyes. "What shall do? 1
can't throw him away. He's a present
for my aunt"
"Throw him away! By no means,
miss! Well put him in the baggage
car, and he'll be just as happy as the
robins in spring."
"What-put my nice white dog in
your dirty old baggage carp
"I'm sorry, miss, but the rules OF
this company must be enforced. He
shall have my OvercOat to lie on, and
the brakeman will give him crackers
and milk every time he opens his
mouth"
81 just know somebody will steal
him." she objected.
But the conductor was firm, and
called out to the brakeman, who was
carrying a Signal flag.
"Here, Mike, put this dog in the bag
gage car, and tell them to take the best
Of care of him."
The brakeman picked up the dog as
carefully as If it were baby. There
was a sudden twitching of the facial
muscles, and he hastily said to the con-
ductor:
"Here, you just hold him a minute
till put this flag away"
Out of the car door he went, and
held on to the brake wheel, shaking
like a man with ague.
The conductor laid his hands on the
dog, and then
"Why-wh-why-t is a worsted
dog!" he gasped.

demurely; didn't you know that?"
"No, miss, I am sorry to say I didn't
know that"

Felt He Came Second.

One day I took my little boy ovei
to his grandmother's. and while We
were there he got into mischief, so his
grandmother slapped his hands and he
came to me crying, and said his grand
mother had slapped him. being busy
at the time, just told him to 60 away
and not bother me, that his grand
mother would not slap him If he did
not deserve it. Later on I asked him
what he did that his grandmother
slapped him, and he said: "Oh, it is
no use telling you, you love your moth
er anyhow."-ChicagO Tribune.

In reply to a number of requests
from men of small stature who wish

nous Yorkshire Bantams," the War
Department has announced that no
man will be rejected for service if, in
the opinion of the recruiting officer,

the regulations requiring men to be
at least five feet four inches in
height and 120 pounds in weight will

Deep Sea Diving Now Feasible.

Experiments made by the British adj
miralty and the United States navy
prove that deep-sea diving is feasible,
says Popular Science Monthly.
It has been found that the shorter
the time q diver takes in getting to
the bottom the better, because the
body absorbs less nitrogen. Also, the
diver must have at least one and one
half cubic feet Of air per minute at
all depths.
Lacing the legs of the divers suit
increases his stability and permits
him to come to an erect position with
ease. It also lessons the danger Of
his falling or being suddenly blown
to the surface.
