War Weddings Decline in Glasgow

War weddings are on the decline, if one Is to accept the figures regarding irregular marriages in Glasgow as con- elusive. In 1915 all records were broken, the number of couples whose weddings were legalized by the sheriff exceeding anything hitherto known. Last year there was a drop, though the total for the year was still consid- erable, and far in advance of normal times. The present year shows a fur ther decrease. One day, for instance. there were 32 civil marriages in the county buildings, bringing the total for the year so far to 1,440 At the same date last year the total was 1,760.

Music Puzzled the Organist.

Sir Friedrich Bridge, the veteran
organist at Westminster Abbey, re-
Gently told good story of a musical
party he attended a short while ago.
II could not make head nor tail of
one piece of music that was being
Played" he said. "It sounded very
abstruse, and, to me, quite incompre-
hensible for the most part, yet here
and there seemed to recognize bar
or two.
"Presently, consumed by curiosity
I leant over and asked my hostess the
name of the piece.
"She looked at me in surprise for
some seconds; then said, somewhat
stifly, It's Bach's fugue in D minor
Sir Fredrick.'
" That it most certainly is not
thought, but I kept my opinion to my
self.
Il found out later, however, on max
ing an investigation, that the lady was
right. Only the perforated music roll
had been put in upside down, with the
result that the piano had played the
fugue backwards. "'-Pearson's.

Council of National Defense.

The Council of National Defense
was created under an act Of congress
passed August 20, 1916, and the same
act provided for the creation Of an
advisory commission of seven to act
with, under and by the authority of
the council. By the terms of the act
this council, with the "co-ordination of
Industries and resources for the ma
tional security and welfare" and with
the ''creation Of relations which will
render possible in the time of need the
immediate concentration and utiliza-
ton of the resources of the nation"
The main body, or central council of
defense at Washington, consists Of the
secretaries of war, navy, interior, ag-
riculture, commerce and labor. The
advisory commission consists of rail-
road presidents, fnanciers, manufac-
turers, educators and specialists in
particular lines. The board acts as
clearing house for the war industry
needs of the nation with authority to
determine the most effective ways Of
meeting them, and the best means and
methods of increasing production, in
Guiding the creation or extension of
industries demanded by the emer-
gency; the relative urgency of the diff
ferent needs, also considering price
factors, Industrial and labor aspects
and conditions affecting food supplies
and prices. The authority of the coun-
Gil is nation wide.

,EFFIC1;S OF NOTED BAIILEss
Probable Results if Outcome Had Been
Different, Explained in Book by
English Writer Years AGO.

About 60 years ago an English
writer, Sir Edward Greasy, published a
book which he called The Fifteen De-
cisive Battles of the World" His pur-
pose was to describe those great mill
tary events which have had the great
est influence upon human history.
Each battle described, had it re-
suited differently, would have COM
pletely changed the course of civiliza-
ton, says the Worlds Work. Had
Charles Martel not have won the bat,
tie of Tours, for example, the whole Of
Europe, and, that means also North
and South America, would very likely
have become Mohammedan in religion.
"Perhaps the Interpretation Of the
Koran" says Gibbon, describing the
consequences of this battle, "would
now be taught in the schools of OK
ford and her pupils might demonstrate
to the English people the truth Of the
revelation of Mohamet."
Ten of Creasy's epochal battles have
been fought since the beginning of the
Christian era. -Four of them represent
victories which were won on French
soil-the battle of Chalons, A. D. 451 ;
the battle of Tours, 1872; Joan of Arcs
victory at Orleans, 1929, and the battle
Of Valmy, in 1892. Another was a
great French victory won on English
soil-the battle of Hastings in 1866.
Two others-the battle of Blenheim,
In 17O4, and the battle of Waterloo in
1815-were great French defeats. It
appears, therefore, that of the ten
most decisive battles fought in the
Christian era five were great French
victories and two were French defeats.
No other nation has any such military
history as this. This mere record in
dicates the part which France has
played in advancing civilization. So
far as Europe is concerned the great
est events in modern history have
aiken place on French soil. At this
time, when the democratic nations
have Joined hands to deliver France
from the cowardly attack which Ger
many has made upon her, it is we'll to
keep this fact in mind.

Non-Freezing Mixture.

Protection against possible freez-
Ing of wet materials in a cement
mixer during cold weather is obtained
at low cost by using an oil-burning
heater which can be attached to prac-
tically any mixing machine. Such a
device unquestionably can save money
for a contractor by making it safe to
operate continuously when the temper
allure is low, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The heater is provided with
q 25-gallon tank which is mounted
above the mixer and is connected by
a pipe with a burner situated at the
opening in the side Of the mixing drum.
compressed air, obtained either from a
hand pump or a compressor, is used to
vaporize the oil and in this way a
fame is forced into the interior of
the drum, keeping the materials there
