"a a Chinese H6mA

The ISbst wonderful thing about Chinese house is the spirit of peace which seems sto,pervade it. The court. yards, inCloScd by houses which are in turn surrounded by high walls. have m air of security and seclusiOn which Is not to be found In our western homes. Into these peaceful courtyards the noise of the busy world does not penetrate. The triple doors seem to shut out the storms of the world aud its troubles. So says Luther Anderson iu his book on Asia. In the more prctentiOuS houses some of the courtyOrdS are transform- ed into miniature l.uGSG2Pe g;.rde..S. There are miniature mountains, Preci- pices, lotus ponds. bridges, grottn"s and rustic hooks. The irregular rocks arc so well E,tcd together "aa built up against tho sidHs of the h""S2 that they seem to have been placed there by ma ture long before the houses were erect ed. The proportions are So carefully worked out that everything seems to be larger than 1t really iS, And the ar rangemcnt is so irregular that nature Is simulated to le. fvctlon.

FORCING THE CLOSED SHOP AS
 A WAR MEASURE

A clear and definite official state ment of labor policy on the part Of the Government would go far 10 reduce labor troubles to minimum. It would remove the misconception on the part Of the union man as to ths attitude Of the Government and point clearly for him the path of patriotic duty. It would re move the incentive for the reck- less calling of strikes for the closed Bhop in the mere hope that Govern ment interference in assistance of such strikes would be forthcoming. It would check and discredit the unauthorized and misleading state nents of agitators and of certain minor Government agents who come ia contact with war work. Last but not least, such statement of pol ley would settle the doubts and Aearten the resolution of vast ma 9orIty of loyal yorkmen who have rsmsined out Of labor organizations from choice, and who hesitate to sseF employment on war work so kpS as 1t remains a storm centre of conflict over questions of union1 eoBtroI. If it be definitely un- derstood that the status quo ante" ahsll be observed, so far as the closed and eoen shop is concerned, Ehat is, the war work shall not be made the lever either to open a closed shop or to close an open

 Byron was n great fighter at Harrow. He was very unpopular at first among his schoOlrrllows. until he fought his way into their affections, and then he became Il veritable champion and leader.
 Keats was n great iga:er. He was chiefly remembered Ut school for his beautiful face. his kindness of heart and his pugnaCiouS disposition. His school chum.

NJ NEWS FROM
 FRONT IS GOOD NEWS

Washington, D. C., Dec, 19.-"We know the worst, but why does the government keep Us in suspense? We expect the war department to send us full particulars of the death of our son and are amazed that we have not heard from you sooner"
 Letters similar to the above, which are coming into the office Of the adjutant general of the war de partment from various parts of the country, furnish evidence of what is believed to be 9 new form of Ger man propaganda cunningly devised to affect mothers, wives and other relatives of the American troops serYinf in Europe. The scheme appears 10 be to create a nation wide feeling of anxiety and dis content by spreading insidious re ports of death and endeayoring to convince relatives and friends Of individual men that the government is suppressing news.
 With respect to the spread Of talss agd alarming reports concern ing the welfare of individuals with the American expedition the war department desires to make the following clear to all relatives of the men:
 News CabIed Promptly
 An arrangement has been made whereby Gen. Pershing cables i'm mediately every case of death, in jury or capture by the enemy and the war department telegraphs at once in each case to the next of kin of the soldiers in the United states. Every soldier before de parting for the front was required to furnish the war department the name and address of the person to he notified in the event anything saould happen to him. Usually tte next of kin is mother, father, sister or brother.
 When a casualty occurs a tele- .7ram is sent to the next of kin of the soldier before the news Is given to the press. It is virtually i'm possible for unofficial news of deaths, wounds or capture to reach here ahead of the official reports. Absence or official news concerning an individual that means nothing has Raopened to him. It is case of mo news being good news"
 The war department hopes that hereafter when a German propagan- dist tells an anxious mother that her son has been killed or captur- ed she will promptly have him ar rested.

Bird Life in Alaska.

Persons with fancy for OrnithOl-
ogy may be interested in the fact that
Alaska has few birds in winter aside
from grouse and the innumerable
focks of ptarmlgan to be found
throughout the territory. These lat
ter are numerous at all seasons, but
are to be found only ut high attitudes
In summer. Geese are to be seen by
the million from late June to October,
but seldom later. Ducks are fully as
plentiful, but with the coming Of fall
they also migrate South. For some
reason an occasional duck winters in
Alaska, but q goose never. Most Of
the birds which nest north of the circle
spend the rest of the year in South
America, some, like the Alaska night
hawk, going so far as the Argentine,
while the tern Is not satisfied until he
reaches the Antarctic regions. This
means that most Alaskan birds travel
annually, coming and going, from A.
900 to 10000 miles, not counting the
distance covered in side trips for food
and other purposes while on the way.
From the middle of May until the first
Of July the birds return to Alaska IL

the observers of union hours who fly
exclusively on either day or night
shifts, come struggling in few weeks
