TEACH YOUR SON CITIZENSHIP
zenship Carried by Sons Must Be
Fostered in Childhood.

1t was not long after the war broke
out that Queen Elizabeth of Belgium
protested a little that her fourteen
year-old son was in the trenches.
And it was King Albert who ex-
planned to her gently: L have him
with me to teach him how serious q
thing it is to be king"
To every American mother should
surely come at some time the desire
to teach her son "how serious a thing
it is to be q citizen
Yet how few mothers realize that
the ideals of citizenship which their
sons carry with them must be fostered
in their bOyhood days.
Every time a mother teaches her son
to regard the interests of the family
as a whole she is teaching him to be a
good citizen. And every time she
teaches him that being member of a
family carries with it obligations as
well as privileges she is teaching him
the meaning of Citizenship.-NeWY York
Evening Sun.

WHAT? YOU REMEMBER ME?'
New York Hotel
Owner.

One of the many things which have
contributed TO the success of the late
George c. Boldt, the well-known hotel
man, was his ability to remember the
names of his guests.
Early in his hotel experience BOldt
discovered that there is no item of
courtesy which pleases q guest much
more than simply to be remembered,
to be called by name. And so Boldt
made a special effort on this point.
Finding that he was rather lacking in
this phase of memory, he set out to
develop his mind in this direction.
He found that even the simple proc
ess of repeating over to himself two
or three times helped tremendously.
You are introduced to man, and are
apt to be looking at him so intently
that you do not even hear his name
when it is spoken. Soldt always made
it point to catch the name-to have
it repeated if necessary. Then he said
it over to himself two or three times,
while associating it with the mans
face and with his general appearance.
He made q mental picture to himself
of the way the name would look when
written out.-American Magazine.

Do the city-bred ever thrill to it as

Not vulgar bedazzlement with glitter
and sWirl-your minor poet or Broad

tion-but the mental intoxication of

destinies interviewer in these inscru-

[ mean Il glamour as of first hearing
Il majestic symphony, long ago learned
from piano score, performed by full
orchestra: [ mean those first weeks of
our Great Adventure, of the sense and
sound of the city drenching us with
hope and dread; of lifting eyes to the
upper murk shot rose-pink from the
glare of hnulevardS; Of the muffled
road borne vaguely up into remote
brick courts as from spring freshets

cataracts of life.-Seymour Deming. in

EASY TO DARKEN

Compound through your hair, tax

When you darken your hair with Sage

IS mussy and troublesome. For 50
cents you can buy at any drug store

by the addition of other ingredients,
called Wyeth Sage and Sui hur
Compound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning all gray
hair disappears, and, after another APP
iplication or two, your hair becomes

LoNDoN's LUMINOUS HATS,
Devised to Check Rise in Night Acct
dents in Streets.

Under the heading Luminous Hats for
London, or a War Time Device for
Darkened Streets, the British official
press bureau has issued the following
article:
London has invented, for wartime
use. luminous hat whose dull phos-
phorescent blur helps to reduce the

occurring after dark, totaled 1915
during the first nine months of 1916.

coroner suggested that women should
wear white hats at night time. A
tradesman took the hint and invented
the luminous hat. This is his story:

Panama Fans Want League Teams.

Baseball fans in the Isthmus of
Panama are booming that section as
an excellent location for one or more
training camps for the big league
teams. 1t is claimed the sanitary con-
ditions of the canal zone, under the
care and direction of the army and
canal officials, are excellent and that
with the dry season extending from
December to April the major league
ball players could not find more
satisfactory location for rounding into
shape for their pennant battles. Base
bail is exceedingly popular there and
the teams would be sure of good gates
at any exhibition games that might
be staged during their stay in the
canal zone.

develop their maximum power at
speeds in excess of /, 800 or 1000 revo-

Today we find gasoline engines pro-

minute, but which actually develop
their greatest power at speeds in the
neighborhood of 5000 turns.
