49, ONE is situated in an admirable
position from the viewpoint of
~ anti-aerial defense. Not only
is it in the usual sense forti-
fed city, but it lies in a wide plain sur
rounded by hills at successive levels
that render minute and long distance
observation singularly easy.
The theory of hidden and possible
important airplane base somewhere by
the TyrThenean sea, that could send its
aircraft to Rome along the fiat shores
or the Maremma marshes, has now
proved to be highly improbable, writes
Magda Sindici in the Chicago News.
The latter would be the best side on
which to attack, only it has the great
disadvantage as scheme, of not be-
ing-So far-feaSible. SeaShore and
Maremma marshes would have to be
by crossing the higher Apennines. 1t
Is, perhaps, difficult to place anti-air-
craft batteries along these peaks suffi-
cient in number to protect the whole
mountain chain; but spur after spur
Of the Apennines runs at right angles
to the main range from this spinal col

spurs are protected at every strategic
point, that is, wherever the mountain

Munition Works in Umbria.
All over the dreamy province of Um-
bria, so called because of the "shade"
once cast over the land by the thick
woods that covered it, batteries are
concealed. This province seems to
have gathered to itself all the gentle
ness of Italy, as if the spirit of its an
cient agricultural inhabitants, Older
than the Etruscans, had managed to
survive the impact Of fierce medieval
war. Umbria holds the town of TERM,
with it's unresting steel and munition
works-a great goal for bomb throw
ers and many times attacked. The
little river Nera comes tumbling along
close by it, between high, cool banks,
so hasty and vivid that it's waters lash
themselves into perpetual foam; and
just above the Nera, the gray CLEAN of
guns adds contrasting touch to the
peasants in blue overalls and the red
tasseled white cattle for which the
district is famous.

With cruel force Burt Gresham came
in contact with the bottom of a newly
dug ditch, stumbling over board SET
on two kegs which had been placed
for the warning and protection of
pedestrians. He landed hard, his
shoulder striking the edge of the cut,
his clothes were torn ON the nails In
the board he had fallen over. and he
was bruised by the side of the ditch
and his attire muddied and disordered.
One arm, severely sprained, hung
limp by his side. He had been run
ming to catch a trolley car when the
accident occurred. AS, with pain and
difficulty, he noted the fading lights of
the car, bitter scowl crossed his
face.
Everything is going wrong with

about caps the climax. In debt, the
boss sore at me and ready to fire me,
even the clothes wear not paid for
the world is at odds with me. I'd like
the chance to get even, no matter how
desperately"
"Hello! Well, say, if it isn't Burt
Gresham !" hailed a familiar voice and
a staggering form neared him. "Rit
by the trolley?"
Gresham gave quick start at these
last words. A subtle fash came from
his eyes. A suggestion had sunk deep
in his mind all off it's balance in his
prevailing misanthropic mood. He
noted the muddled condition of the
man who stood regarding him un-
steadily.

'That's it. Why, you're hurt, amt

In a flash the structure of a base
fraud arose in the thoughts of Burt

PLAYED GOLF IN DARKNESS
Enthusiastic DeVotees Of Ancient Sport
Refused to Let Close Of Daylight
End Their Game.

SO enthusiastic are some fellows of
golf that even darkness, fog, or snow
holds no terrors for them Until year
or two ago, at any rate, two brothers,
members of the Lundin Links club,
Fifeshire invariably waited for dark
ness to fall before starting their game.
Another remarkable instance of play
in the dark was the occasion Of a
match between Lord Kennedy and a
Mr.. Cruikshank, which started about
10 o'clock p. IN. A lantern at each
hole was the only lighting used. And,
strange as it may seem, the opponents
played the holes in almost the same
number of strokes as they would
have taken to do it on the brightest
day.
Not nearly SO successful, however,
was tournament which took place
after dinner over well-known course.
After the first shots from the prelim-
mary tee, not a single ball was found
again.
But, apart from matches got up after
sunset for wagerS, many really inn
portant tournaments have taken place
after dark. To wit, some years ago, at
Burnham Beeches, tOrch-bearers en-
abled the entrants Of certain qualify
ing match to finish their rOundS.-Lon-

The idea that handsome is as hand
some does has caused so much trouble
ever since it was first sprung upon an
unsuspecting world that it is high
time it is disposed of. In the first
place, if you are really handsome,
especially if you happen to be a girl,
you don't have to do anything else. AS
a matter of fact, no beautiful girl ever
does anything else. 1t isn't necessary
for her to cook or sew or even talk.
All she has to do is to sit still and be
loved, and the line usually forms on
the right.
If you do thing, on the other hand,
the mere fact that you have done it is
supposed to insure you being hand
some. What nonsense! If you do the
handsome thing it will never be re-
garded as handsome by the only peO-
pie whose opinion is worth while, be-
cause with them doing the handsome
Is so usual that it becomes common
place. If you are homely, nothing
you do will be handsome.
To do handsome thing, therefore,
always start by being handsome. Then
you won't have to do it.-Life.

SAD BECKETT TURK MoTHER1
Legend That Has Long Been Current
in England, Notably About
Christmas Time.

The month nf December holds among
its saints days the commemoration of

four cOurtiers of Henry H-Reginald

de Tracy and Richard de Breton. an
exchange says. The legend of Becket's
parentage Is a favOrite in England
about Christmas time, and the story
has long been in dispute among some
eminent historical authorities.
This is the legend: Gilbert, his faith
er. in his youth followed the Cru
saders to Palestine, and was taken
prisoner by Moor of high rank. His
personal attractions melted the heart
of his captOr's daughter, sweet Mo-
hammedan, who enabled him to escape,
not, however, until she had obtained a
he had settled in his own land he
should send for and marry his prOtec-
tress.
But Gilbert sent no message to the
lovelOrn damSel. She resolved to pro-
ceed to England, not to institute a suit
for mutilated affections, but to remind
him of his engagement. This enter
prise, perilous indeed in that day, she
accomplished. She knew nothing of
the English language save the one
word "Gilbert," the name of her lover
and that he dwelt In Cheapside, Lon
don. Repeating the name of Gilbert
to all she met she finally found him,
most clever piece of amateur detective
work for that early day, and having
found him he made his promise good.
Before marriage she prOfessed her
conversion to the Christian faith, and
was baptized in st. Paul's cathedral,
no fewer than six bishops assisting at
the ceremony.

SuueaIer Never Popular.

Don't be a sQuealer The telltale,
whether he or she does it directly or
by inference or by helping to carry
tales, Is soon without the friendship
or sympathy OF anyone. However just
the accusation may be, do not be a
party to it's publication by word or
act, unless there is involved some
wrong-dOing so evil that to withhold
punishment therefor would be posi-
tive crime. Telltales are ON par
with and worse than many go-be-
tweens; they are mixers in other per-
sons business; they assume to correct
others misdeeds, and back of it all
they hope to see others belittled. There
Is seldom any unselfishness in tale

Gave Field cIasses to country

One Of the British steps In mobiliza-
ton Of national resources for war was
to call on all citizens of the empire to
contribute their field glasses and tele-
scopes for use at the front. Almost
10000 glasses were found acceptable
among those offered. They included
all sorts, from the higheSt-grade binoc-
ulars suitable for artillery range find-
Ing to Old-fashiOned telescopes that are
used to distinguish hostile from friend
ly airplanes. The glasses were con-
tributed chiefly by hunters and follow
ers of horse racing. They came from
the remOtest parts of the empire, even
from Malaysia.
