Do you not want to add your
name to the list of patriotic organi-
cations, firms and individuals who
are volunteering to give financial
aid to the Red Gross Society in the
expense they have incurred in erect
ing the screened mess hall in Law
renee Park for Company "C". The
total cost of the building is $4,000
and the St. Mary Chapter Of the Red
Cross is giving $4,000 of this
amount. The khaki boys now station
ed here have quarters where they
may get all the pleasure possible
during their training period and dur
ing their service here as guards for
important structures along the
Southern Pacific. Soon they may be
called to cross the Atlantic to take
their places alongside our allies on
the firing linesa But while they are
still here, you may be one who con-
siders it a pleasure Al well as a pri-
vilege to take part in the work that
has been done to insure their COM
fort and good health.

KEEP ON BUILDING
About that improvement you ar

About that improvement you are
planning
WHY not go ahead with it?
Every reason in the world says
you should.
At no period in our history have
we been so sure Of the future. The
eastern worlds stomach is feeling
the pinch Of hunger, and its de-
mands on the products Of Americas
broad acres and American indus
tries are growing with every passing
hour. A great market is opening
wider and wider. Honest and fair
profits in all lines of legitimate ef-
fort are certain.
There should be no curtailment in
building and road construction. Let
both public and private useful con-
struction proceed. Production and
handling of building materials and
public and private construction work
are fundamental industries OF the
country. Any territory to suspend
or postpone building projects is in
consistent with maintaining our
prosperity. The country is prosper
Gus. Building investors should not
hesitate to go ahead with, their
plans. Railroads should spare no eff
effort to supply the building indus
try with the cars needed to trans
port materials. Government, state,
county and municipal authorities
should encourage the continuance OF
III kinds Of building. Road and
street improvements in particular
should 90 on undated. Bad roads
and streets are factors Of first inn
portance in the present high cost OF
foodstuffs. Nver before was the i'm
provement Of highways 80 essential.
The lumber, brick. cement, lime,
ssad, gravel, stone and other build ;
Inc materials industries are basic.
Neither Government regulations nor
railroad restriction should be inn
posed unnecessarily to interfere
With them. If any action is taken
which results in the prostration Of SOL
fundamentally important industries,
there is real danger of surplus of
unemployed labor, surplus of rail
road cars and gripping Of business
that will seriously embarrass the
Government in financing the war.
The right thing to do is to keep |
building.

ARCADE ! TONIGHT

In the. main part Of the absorbing
drama Of love and intrigue, Dulcie'a
Adventure, from the talented pen of
r. Strauss, the beautiful and charm
ing little star, Mary Miles Minter il
afforded an excellent opportunity to
display that:sweet and pathetic child
character which has done so much
toward making her the most popular
lngenue now appearing before the
public. Dulcie is J.. pretty little
country girl belonging to an aristo-
cratic southern family and made the
victim of an ambitious aunt VIII,
seeks * build up the depleted faaa.'.
fortune by marrying her !, an adj
venturer posing as a millionaire.
A noble country lad in Dulcie's
hometown wins her heart but in
tensely interesting complications
bring her to the very altar with the
man of her aunt's choice where the
fascinating story reaches a powerful
dramatic climax, and the beautiful
little southern maiden energies from
her thrilling experiences to return
triumphant to the arms of her girl
hood sweetheart.
Dulice's Adventure abounds in
tense situations and pretty heart in
terest scenes, especially adapted to
Mary Miles Minter's exceptional tai
snts while the masterhand Of the
great stage director James Kirkwood
shows to excellent advantage and
deeply intsyl''sd plot.

Mark Twain on George Eliot.

Mark Twain was very outspoken In
his comments on books. He did not
like George Eliot's novels, and in let
ter to W. D. Howells, written back in
1895, and published in Harper's Month
ly, he says: 81 bored through Middle
march during the last week, with its
labored and tedious analyses Of feel
ings and motives, its paltry and tire

interesting story and its frequent blind
ing flashes of single-sentence poetry,
philosophy, wit and what not, and
nearly died from overwork. wouldn't

His Wifes Temper.

j. have seen, especially among the
leisure class, capricious and ill-tem-
pered women whose husbands lived In
constant dread Of a scene Of some
SOFT, says a writer in the Woman's
Home Companion. There, poor, down
tr0dden men spent their days in pla-
eating their wives, In side-stepping
tenpers and tears with hur'1iettng
ninbleness, or in exercising u pdueat
kindness less degrading to them and
deeply touching to all spectators. Such
men are always pitied by the whole
community in which they live, but this
pity is subtle form Of contempt. The
sympathetic community feels that side
stepping a wife's moods is poor way
for a live man to be spending his days.
When, however, man blights the
life of his household in similar way
the commiseration which his wife re-
ceives is small, especially If he hap
pens to be that which is so aptly
termed "a good provider." In fact, the
feeling of the community eloquently re-
fleets my mothers attitude; that it Is

Artists Who Are "Peculiar."

There are in this country number
of men who sacrifice beauty Of color
for popularity Of color-to announce
to the world their individuality" tnat
they are here, on the map of the earth,
writes F. W. Ruckstuhl in Art World.
They 60 either to the anemic and
bloodless, or to the redhot and vulgar,
or to the neutral and leaden, or to the
shocking and caoplonic color-to ere
ate a notoriety bringing sensation. Be-
cause they know that the newspaper
and magazine art writers-who need
one sensation per week-will advertise
their work and annex them as fruitful
sources of mutual profit. Such vulgar
color mongers the layman can ignore,
for their fate is settled in advance
They begin to pass into oblivion as
soon as they are born, like will O. the
wisps. The very constitution of the
human mind and soul insures that.

Prohtmonqerina.

: To those who dislike that intruder
into the English speech, "prohteering," !"
there is at hand the more formidable
word ''proftmongering." For good old
"monger," which merely means "deal-
er," has it's roots deep in the past
the shady past. In Sanscrit it means
s'to Deceive" and although there are
honAst mongers Of fish or iron, the
practices Of too many other sorts OF
dealers have deeply tainted the word,
as all scandalmongers know. Trading
and cheating are sometimes closely
related, and even Irel4nd's "Great
Book Of the Law" gave lesM sanction
to the kinship. That venerable docu-
:ment defines the three rents OF land
the fair rent (Which member OF
the clan paid), the stipulated rent, and
the rack rent, imposed upon the
stranger. The stranger suffered SO
much under this ancient village COM
munity law that the 'monger" in time
became q somewhat disreputable per
son.-London Chronicle.

EDUCATION OF THE STREETS
Children With Poor Environments
Stand Low in Higher Forms OF In
teIIieence, Tests Show.

It is a common belief that the chill
dren of the poorer classes in large cit
les acquire a certain amount of valua-
Bile education by running the streets.
Actual tests usually indicate, however,
saws the Journal of Eeredity, that such
children stand very low il all the high
er forms of intelligence, and this might
have been suspected from an eXam:na-
ton of the environment in which they
are brought up. Association with old
er people is one Of the most important
factors in a chi!d's education; but IN
the poorer classes the dwellings are
so small that child must spend most
of his waking hours outside, and no.
where does he come in close contact
with many older persons of ability.
No matter how much one may ad-
mire the development of modern indus
triafsociety, he can hardly believe that
It offers q full and rich environ
rent in which a child may unfold"
If q child had inherited ability (and
many of the children who roam the
streets have not) it could hardly be
called into full play by the stimulus
of q modern city street which, COM
pared with the country, offers little
for a child to do. Much has been said
of the evils Of child labor, but under
modern city conditions it Is conceiva-
BILE that child idleness may sometimes
be equally injurious.

DEVIATION OF THE COMPASS
Only at Certain Points Does the Mag
netic Needle Point Due North
and South.

Soon after the compass was invented
it was noticed that it did not point
true north and south. For long time
it was supposed that this deviation
or declination was everywhere the
same until Columbus, on his way to
America in 1892, discovered near. the
Azores place Of no declaration. Maps
now published by the different govern
ments give lines Of equal declination.
In the extreme eastern section OF the
United States the declination is as
much as 20 degrees west. This de-
creases to zero at place near Cincln-
natl, O., and becomes an easterly decli-
nation amounting to 20 degrees east
in the northwest.
The discovery as to "dip" was made
nearly 100 years after the time of Co.
lumbus. It was found that if COM
pass needle is perfectly balanced so
that it can swing up and down as well
as sideways it's north-seeking pole Will
dip down at considerable angle. This
angle increases as one goes farther
north, and decreases as one goes south.
In the southern hemisphere the north
seeking pole Of a needle points up in
the air.
During Shackleton's south polar ex-
pedition, point was found on the
great antarctic continent where q
needle would hang vertically with Its
north-seeking pole on top.

Natures Wondrous Ways.

One of the most curious Of natures
inventions is that of an egg that can't
roll off a shelf. 1t is absolutely fmpor-
tant to a certain species of seabird-
the murre. This feathered creature
builds no nest, but lays its eggs on
narrow shelves of i.ecipitous rocks.
Ordinary eggs-thoSc of the domestic
hen, for example, if deposited in such
places, would be liable 10 Eoll off az"
smash. But the 1nurre's egg is of such
a shape that if disturbed it simply
rolls in q circle Such being the case.
the female murre experiences no anxi-
ETY.. She could incubate her progeny
on an ordinary mantelpiece and be sat-
is.ied of their safety.

WHAT SPY MAY DO In WAR
Ethics Of "Profession" Make II Pernnls-
sik,ie fer Him to Wear the Uniform
Of the Enemy.

Initiating the bugle-calls Of the en-
emy is quite legitimate; so is the wear
ing of their Uniform, with one reser-
vation. A soldier may not fire on the
eneray while so attired. But he may
advance or retreat, build bridges and
perform any other military operation
short Of actual fighting, using the uni
form as a means of deception.
4 soldier may spy as much as he
likes. If he worms his way into the
ene!ny's lines he is only doing his duty,
and, if captured there, may not be
punished beyond being taken an ordl-
nary prisoner, provided he is wearing
a Uniform. If he is in any kind Of dis
guise he may be shot.
In the course of his spying he may
kill as many Of the enemy as he can.
When he approaches the seatries he
may stab them il the dark, or use any
trick to throw them Off their guard ex-
cept one. He may not say friend II
the sentry challenges him (unless, OF
course, he intends to surrender).
Similarly. il suddenly attacked, he
may not u.s. any words to make the
enemy believe that he is friend In
disguise, c.,. sc take him unaWares.

WHEN LIFE WAS ADVENTURE
Better knowledge of Way Nature
Works Has Removed Uncertain
ties That Once ExhiIarated.

an Old negro nanny, working for
q family, was observed not to eat the
fish rl:at was served at dinner.
"What's the matter with the fish,
auntie:" the mistress inquired. "Ah
doan' see low YOU dare eat it." she
reliie,i. 'Iou nevah saw its head.
How you know but what it had the
head Of a human?"
Once i'll I. while we get back that
way to the world our ancestors lived
in. What wonderful advenTre life
must have been to them! They nev.
er knew when they might see q human
headed fish, or centaur or q dragon.
They wouldn't have been surprised
at dryad stepping out of tree.
There must have been "a certain ex-
hilaration about that kind Of uncer-
tainty that we miss nowadays. A bet
ter knowledge of the way nature
works has taken a good deal of the
childlike romance out of life.
We get faint reflection of it in the
mild superstitions that most of US
cling to-in our beliefs in magic num-
