result will be fuller cooperation and
consequently much higher efficiency
and more vigorous prosecution of
The war.
1.-THE United States, in the employ
ment of Its man power and material
resources, desires to use them to the
greatest advantage against Germany.
It has been no easy problem to deter
mine how they can be used most eff
fectiyely, since the independent presen-
tations of requirements by the allied
governments have been more or less
conflicting on account of each govern
ment's appreciation Of it's own wants,
which are naturally given greater I'M
portance than the wants of other gov.

Our Eaos for Antipodes.

While the greatest part Of the
United States is suffering a dearth Of
good fresh eggs, California has been
shipping large quantities to New Zea-
land. American Consul General Wins
low, in dispatch from Auckland to
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, reports that 100000 dozen
were recently received at Wellington
from San Francisco, described as
strictly fresh eggs, and were sold at
81 cents dozen.
The shipment was received at
period which corresponds with our
early spring or late winter and the
home output was coming to market in
substantial quantities. May and June
are the moulting months in the south
ern hemisphere, when eggs, as here, go
to very high prices. because of the
stoppage of laying by the feathered
producers.

Stone Houses of AIeppo.

The stone houses of Aleppo are i'm
posing and not without beauty. They
are we'll preserved and tended, in con-
trast to the buildings of most eastern
towns. The bazaars, and the khans,
or wholesale establishments, are
housed in stone buildings strong as
forts. These are relics of older times,
for Aleppo has been a city Of traders
for 20 centuries. The great iron stud
ded doors have resisted the gatherings
of many a mob eager for the rich
wares within. Some of the shops
fronting these narrow streets house a
stock of goods drawn from every cor.
ner of the earth. Steamer, railroad,
wagon train, pack horse, caravan-the
local merchant packs his goods for
any form or settlement known to man.
The shops are mean and insignificant

and behind him long rooms and gal.
leries packed with rich wares; such is
the usual arrangement for trade in
Aleppo. And yet the city has been a
commercial center since the days when
Europe was a. wilderness.

Camisoles-that is corset covers, by
less matter-of-fact name--are never
neglected when the Christmas list of
salable finery is made up by buyers
for the big shops. This year they have
presented shoppers with many lovely
camisoles of ribbon, or net and ribbon
combined, or crepe georgette and rib
bon. Those shown in the picture are
in pale pink, which is the favored color
for fine underwear.
Very wide satin ribbon, decorated
with small tucks, lace insertions and
French knots in pink and blue silk,
serves to produce the camisole~at the
top of the picture. 1t is edged with a
frill Of pink crepe and supported by
shoulder straps of satin ribbon.
The camisole below 1t is made OF
fine, white net, banded with satin rib

shoulder straps and for drawing up
the fullness over the bust 1t is fin

Cold, ryaAlr Healthful.

Cold, dry air is generally considered
healthful and stimulating by medical
authorities. Metaholic processes are
active, and if the body is properly pro-
tected against excessive heat loss, SEN
sations of weH-being are dominant.
There is little exact physiologic evil
dence bearing on this condition. Ply
sicians have shown that respiratory in
lection of rabbits with bacillus bowl
septicus (snuf1les) is favored by chill
ing the animals after they have been
accustomed to heat.

General Survey important.

"By a general survey of the whole
situation and a free. discussion of the
needs of all, the approaching con-
ference will undoubtedly be able to
| give the demands of the several gov
ernments their true perspective and
proper place in the general plans for
the conduct of the war.
Though the resources of this coun-
| try are vast and though there is every
purpose to devote them all if need be
to winning the war, they are not with
out limit. But even If they were great
er, they should all be used to the high
est advantage in attaining the supreme
object for which we are fighting. This
can only be done by a full and frank
| discussion of the plans and needs OF
| the various belligerents.
1T is the earnest wish of this gov
eminent to employ IT'S military and
naval forces and it's resources and
energy where they will give the great
est return in advancing the common
cause. The exchange of views which
| will take place at the conference and
the conclusions which will be reached
will be of the highest value in prevent
ing waste of energy and in bringing
into harmony the activities Of the ma
lions, which have been unavoidably
acting in measure Independently.
I'm looking forward to the assem-
bling of the conference it cannot be
too strongly emphasized that it is q
war conference and nothing else, de-
voted to devising ways and means
to intensity the efforts of the bel
ligerents against Germany by COM
plete cooperation under a general
plan, and thus bring the conflict to
a speedy and satisfactory conclusion"
House Is Real Envoy.
Colonel House is the actual repre-
sentative Of the United States govern
ment on this commission; the others
are merely his cabinet of advisers.
He had been preparing for. this mis-
sion for weeks before there was an
inkling that the president meant him
to represent the United States at the
conference, and it is understood that
he personally chose the delegates from
the various departments.
There is no time set for the adj
journment of the war conference. The
very nature of the purposes that bring
the representatives Of all the allies
together borbids a period being put to
their labors.
In some form the congress will re-
main during the entire war, for until
Germany is beaten there will be the
necessity of cooperation that can only
be obtained by a permanent board.
If there had been such a board in
existence, for it means the direction
of the war by a central body in au-
thority over all forces, Italy would
not be struggling for her life, it is de-
clared. Such a board would have We
toed the advance of General Cadorna
so far into Austria that the Teutons
could trap him, or if the strategy ap-
peared sound, they would have ar
ranged for supplies and support that
would have protected him in the posi-
tons he won against the divisions Ger
many brought from the Russian and
Roumanian fronts.
In short, such board will make it
impossible for Germany to pursue sue
cessfully the Napoleonic plan of meet
ing her foes separately, and thus null
lily the advantage they have in num-
bers and resources.

1t would not seem like Christmas
If no dainty and ornamental aprons
appeared among the gifts displayed for
women. They belong to the festival,
like Christmas trees and candles, and
Christmas time usually provides a sup
ply for the coming year.
Two new and attractive Christmas
aprons pictured here, show them to
be as gay and frivolously inclined as
ever. They are of fine batiste with
inserts and edgings of lace. Either
ribbon or batiste may be used for the
ties but in this instance they are of
bastiste.

Pretty ladies, made of painted wood,
conceal our telephones and invite us
to tell secrets that will never be be-
trayed. These are the "pingocraft''
girls and they make fascinating gifts
to either men or women friends.
Each one stands at the front of small
board on which the telephone is to
be placed. The mouthpiece is I'M
screwed and when replaced forms the
crown of a hat or springs from high
corsage bouquet or disappears alto
gether or is frankly in evidence, just
as you will.
The pfngocraft novelties are made
of wood cut out from thin boards,
painted white. The figures are out
lined on them ready for painting and
each is painted to suit the individual
taste. The little figure at the left Is
holding her hat and, when she is
placed, the mouthpiece of the phone
becomes the crown of it.

A TRIBUTE

As the 1852 Northbound train stop
ped at the station in the gray dawn
OF day, young man clad in gray
suit boarded il. He was not large OF
stature; he did not have the COM
handing face of Napoleon; nor did
he have the features Of a Shakes
peare. In fact he would not have
been mistaken for any Of the gen.
fuses. But as the train moved off
something occurred which unmis-
takably evidenced the station OF the
man in the gray suit.
Ten or fifteen college fellows had
brought their chum to the train
He was more than chum, though, for
no man could have so many chums
as this. He had been their spirit
ual leader.
He had won no fame on the foot
ball field. He had gained no APP
plause on the basketball floor. He
had never figured in track record
He had not made debating team
But he had done something inf
nitely bigger-he had become &C
quainted with every man on the
campus; he had won his way into
their hearts. Their confidence he
had gained, and never had he be-
trayed the trust.
Uncommon are such men on our
campus. May he be blessed in his
noble endeavorsl May his life be
an ever increasing inspiration to
! others! May his unselfishness in
spire those left behindl
He had learned that,
"One smile can glorify day,
One word true hope impart
The least disciple need not say
There are no aims TO give away
II love be in the heart"

THE BEREA CHIMES

Both students and faculty were
delighted last week when President
Frost announced that the woman
who gave Berea its splendid Chapel
had given an additional ten thous-
and dollars to furnish the tower
with a set OF chimes. The chimes
have arrived and are being installed
this week. They will be dedicated
on the Saturday night preceding
Commencement. The largest bell is
lettered with the following inscrip-
ton: These Bells Commemorate the
Twenty-fifth Year of William Goodell
Frosts Presidency Of Berea College
and His Unfailing, Self-sacrificing
Devotion to the College and Its In
terests." The chimes came as a
surprise to President Frost and full
I'LL his long cherished wish that the
students of Berea might have the OPP
portunity and the pleasure of being
awakened in the morning by the
peal OF chimes ringing out the
melody of great hymns. Express
sions OF gratitude and appreciation
on the part of the students can be
heard on all parts Of the campus,
and the dedication Of the new
"Berea Chimes" is awaited with in
terest.
The bells were made by the
Meneely Bell Co., Of Troy, N. Y, and
are being installed by Edward l..
Kehn OF that Company.

Quite a number of our Normal stu
dents took the teachers examination
in Richmond Friday and Saturday,
while many more took IL in their
home counties. We wish them all
success.
While there are many things which
go to make up a good teacher not
shown by examinations il is one OF
the most helpful methods OF elimi-
mating the unfit il properly used.
Examining should be strict, abso-
lutely honest, and fair beyond all
questions. They should always keep
in mind the fact that they are guar
dams of the interest Of the children
of their county. II will be a great
thing for Kentucky when examina-
tions are so rigid that barely enough
teachers pass TO teach the schools.
When there are many more teachers
than schools there is usually a
scramble; too often il is the most
unfit who secures the position.
In too many parts Of our State
people look upon the school as an
institution to give employment to
relatives or FRIENDS, NOT as the
most powerful social institutions TO
bring success and happiness to in
dividuals and society.
Until a public sentiment is devel-
oped which will see the public
school in its true light, We cannot
expect anything beyond mere form
as compared with what the sub
stance Of real school ought to be.
Let every Berea student stand
firmly for honor, efficiency, and SER
vice. Honor in examinations and in
securing schools, efficiency in the
schoolroom and community, and n
spirit of service which will allow no
rest until one has worked far be-
yond the recruitment Of the letter
of the law.
The Berea Teachers Club will
meet next Wednesday afternoon at
$50. There will be an interesting
program and important business.
Let us every one attend who is in
reach, and let us have applications
for membership from those away
from Berea. Such applications
should be sent to Miss Poore, Secre-
tary of the Club.
The Editor of this column enjoyed
meeting with a number Of old Nor
NAL students while in Hazard last
week. Among them were l.. A.
Brasher, banker; John Mcintosh,
coal operator; r. b. Roberts, COM
monwealth's attorney; John Napier,
county school superintendent; A. j.
Engle, merchant; and Marion Ison,
Dan Duff from among our students
of former years who are still teach
ing, as well as some of our Normal
people of this year. Prosperity
seems to be written large over the
hills Of Perry County just now.

EVENING

| came out of my last class the
other afternoon, after O strenuous
day in school, tired and discouraged
Thinking it would do me good, !
accepted an invitation to walk home
with a friend who lives out in the
country. I have always liked To
spend my recreation periods in
walking, especially in the evening
hour. better than any other way
This particular evening was cool
and bracing, ideal for a long country
walk. The sky was clear except
for a few fleecy clouds that hung
Just above the western horizon, re-
flecting upon the earth the last gold
en- sunbeams of the hidden sun.
We walked along, the amber light
in the west grew DINNER and the
pale new moon appeared. That
night it reminded me OF an over
turned fruit basket and the brilliant
little stars that soon unveiled them
selves around it seemed like the
fruit.
While was musing in this way
my friend broke the silence. She
gave TO me something better thar
fruit, better even than the celestial
fruit OF which l had been dreaming
II was a flower of confidence, fresh
from the heart. tried 10 help heI

A Seasonable
Suggestion

The farmers Of the nation have .
most important part to DO In pro-
ducing food for our psolpe, for our
army and navy and for the armies
Of the countries fighting the COM
mon enemy.
II takes more food in time Of war,
and yet production naturally de-
clines on account Of the calling OF
men from the farms to the colors.
This makes necessary q supreme ef-
fort on the part Of every man. wo-
man and child living on the farms.
While with reasonable certainty
good prices may be expected for
all farm crops. we have another and
q higher motive for producing to the
limit, namely, our patriotism. Not
only is the honor Of our flag at stake,
but the very existence Of the things
our country has stood for from It's
foundation.

NOTABLE VISITORS

Berea has been the rendezvous OF
a number of distinguished people
during the week. DR.. Wilbur T.
Crafts of Washington, d. c., Secre-
tary OF the International Reform
Bureau, delivered two lectures in
the Chapel. DR.. Crafts is a leader in
worldwide reform movements and
is especially interested in war pro-
hibition at present. He is making q
great fight for dry nation during
the crisis, and the probabilities are
that he will win out.
Another Berea visitor OF note was
Fielding Yost, coach Of the nation
ally famous Michigan football team.
He was accompanied by Dan E. Nc
Gughin, also famous coach, Ellis A.
Yost and John T. Caldwell Of Nash
vile, Tenn.
DR.. Cecil s. Sharp Of London, Eng
land, accompanied by his secretary,
Miss Maud Karpeles, is spending the
week at the Tavern. He is inter-
nationally known as a collector OF
mountain ballads, and is perhaps the
worlds best informed man on that
subject. His interest in the music
and the ballads OF the Appalachian
Mountains brought him to Berea.
Rev. william A. Brown OF Chicago
a prominent worker of the Inter-
national Sunday-school Association
spoke several times in Berea Friday
and Saturday. He was here to at
tend the District Convention Of the
Glades Association. He was accom-
panied by Rev. Geo. A. Joplin, State
