Wilkerson said. The price of milk to distributors jumped from s2.12 to $5.42 a hundred pounds since the February meeting of the association.

British Statement

LONDON, Sept. 27.--A British off cial statement was issued tonight with reference to statements contained in the German communication. It says:
 ''Today's German official commit nique states that the British troops gained less territory on the 26th than on the 10th. This is perfectly true. The attacking troops gained all their objectives both days, but the objectives set for the operations of yesterday were smaller than those for the twentieth.
 Tn sentences purposely misleading, von LudendoHf described the fighting near Zonnebeke and Gheluvelt. He omits to state that Zonnebeke was lost by the Germans. but emphasizes the retention of Gheluvelt, which was not one of the British objectives.'
 The report follows:
 After all our objectives had been gained yesterday seven powerful hostile counter attacks were made during the afternoon and evening. All were re- pulsed with heavy loss to the enemy.
 The total number of prisoners cap tured in yesterdays offensive opera tion was 1,614, including AS officers

FIERCE GERMAN THRUSTS FAIL TO DISLODGE ENGLISH, SCOTCH
 AND AUSTRALIAN FORCES
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

With all the objectives of their new offensive near Ypres securely in their hands, the English, Scotch and Aus tralian units now are tenaciously hold ing them, notwithstanding fierce Ger man thrusts that have been launched in efforts to regain the lost ground
 As had been expected, by reason of the contour of the territory over which the battle has ragged, the fighting throughout has been of a most violent character. Near the Polygon wood, north and northeast of St. Julien and northwest of Zonnebek, the encounters have been of sanguinary character the Germans losing heavily in their counter attacks.
 Of all the points of vantage gained by Field Marshal Haig the village of Zonnebeke probably was the most i'm portant, for six miles farther on lies the Ostend-Lille railway, the cutting of which by the British would seriously interfere with operations between Ger many's naval bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge.
 Only at two points during the fight ing were the Germans able to recap ture lost ground. This was east Of St. Julien, where two redoubts again fell into the hands of the enemy. One of these had to be relinquished by the British and still remains in German hands but from the others the Ger mans were scattered pell mel by d fresh British onslaught.
 The crown prince alone along the Alsne and on the Verdun sector has made several attempts to break the front of General Petain, but as on for mer occasions the attacks all were re- pulsed with heavy casualties. On the greater part of the line held by the French artillery duels are in progress.
 On the front in northern Russia and in Rumania the activity of the Ger mans and Austro- -Hungarians has al- most ceased, except for small outpost operations and here and there artillery duels Of slight proportions. The Ger mans, however, apparently are recon noltering in the Baltic sea. preparing tor attacks against the Russian fleet.
 There has been no resumption by General Cadorna of his intensive of fensive against the Austrians along the Isonzo front, where, only minor en- agreements have taken place. On the Carso plateau the Austrians have be- gun again violent bombardment of Italian positions, but the Italians are effectively countering Large quanti- ties of explosives daily are being dropped by the Italians on Austrian positions behind the fighting front. in Belgium the British and the French airmen also are keeping up their raids against German naval bases, cantonmentS and other impor- tant objectives, and are scoring hits which give visible indications of great damage. t...x sas

German Statement

BERLIN, Sept. ? (via London).- Today's official communication fol- lows: Especially stubborn fighting took place at the roads rddiating from Zonnebeke westward yesterday and last evening for the possession of Gheluvelt. The village remained in our possession. Further south to the Comines-Ypres canal repeated assaults by the English broke down with heavy losses.

WARMTH is FOUND IN SNOW
Without Its Protection in Winter Tim.
ber Supplies Of the Northern Areas
Would Disappear.

Few of our readers would credit that
the absence of snow would double the
price of timber. The greater part of
our common timber comes from the
forests Of Canada, Scandinavia and
Russia. All these countries suffer from
a very severe winter, says London Tit
Bits.
For nearly five months of the year
their surface is buried deep under a
mantle of snow, and the thermometer
in the heart of the greatest pine forests
not uncommonly falls to 80 degrees be-
low zero, /. e., 62 degrees Of frost.
Snow is one Of the best nOnconductors
of heat or cold in the world, and when
the fall is foot deep a thermometer
showing degrees on its surface will
if buried beneath the snow, rise to
about 80 degrees. The snow, there
fore, is an enormous blanket, protect
ing the roots Of the trees from the in
tense cold.
A full-fedged pine can stand almost
any degree of cold, but young tree
cannot do so. 1t might sprOut during
summer, but q snowless winter would
infallibly kill it. If, therefore, snow
ceased, the enormous timber supplies
of northern Europe, Asia and America
would disappear.

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
1t Is Now Confined Chiefly to Profess
sionaIs, Drunkards and Phono-
graphs, Says Writer.

Singing, as far as most people are
concerned, is a lost art. Thousands
attend operas, recitals and musical
comedies, tens of thousands wind up
monographs but as for singing them
selves informally at their work or play
they have forgotten how. In times
past people of all ranks sang together
as matter of course. Sailors sang at
their work, peasants, shepherds, cow
bOys-all had their favOrite and ap-
propriate songs. The songs Of chill
dren at games, the lullabies of moth
ers are in the collected ballads and
folklore of many peoples, says the In
dianapOlis News.
"The pastimes and the labors of the
husbandman and the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, 'were long ago kind
of natural opera. Each task had its
own song; plowing, seeding, harvest,
burial-all had their appropriate bal
lads or dirges. The whole soul of the
peasant class breathes in their bur-
dens as the great sea resounds IN the
shell cast up on the shore"
Nowadays the whirl Of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers in
mills might find it unsatisfying to sing
at their work, but it is doubtful if they
would sing even if their voices could
be heard; while singing in an office or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the "boss" or the police. Thou
sands congregate every night in the
silence of moving picture theaters, and
even in the churches where singing by
the congregation used to be customary
the attendants now usually listen in
silence to a paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely con-
fined to the professional performer,
drunken men and gramophones.

A Model Man.

Adam, the first, was man of low
able disposition and a model husband,
so am informed by the recorders Of
early events. Never once in the reco-
lection of his biographers did he speak
ill of his beloved soulmate in the pres
ence of human company, and according
to those who were able to know all
his private affairs he never kicked on
her cooking nor growled at her house
work.
Whether she wore her gowns high
cut or low in the neck was a matter
Of little or no concern to him so long
as she was respectfully attired in the
fashion of the period. And when she
got fired from the Palm Garden for
nibbling apples without someone's con-
sent Adam did not sneak off to Reno,
as husbands do today, to apply for
divorce. No. He cast aside his over
alls, threw up his job and went out
with the little lady like a little man.
That's the kind of sparerib he was

HOW THE BEES KEEP WARM
Those Inside the Cluster Which They
Form In Cold Weather Go
Through Vigorous Exercises.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
ns well as during the summer. Being
susceptible to cold, the bee must have
some means Of supplying warmth.
II was found by experiment that on
ly the shell Of the cluster made by the
bees in cold weather is compact. This
Is formed by one Of several layers OF
bees all solidly arranged with their
heads inward, their hairs interlaclng.
This arrangement Is perfect for con-
servation Of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift Of positions
the bees forming the shell are quiet.
But within the shell strange things are
going on.
II is here that the heat is generated.
And the antics are not unlike our own
when we are cold.
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there is plenty Of
space for many bees to be exercising
at a time. Rapid tanning of the wings,
shalsing the body from side to side,
rapid breathing and other movements
are all part Of the scheme for raising
the temperature.
In one particular instance, when
bee had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes,
the thermometer nearest him rose half
a degree, Fahrenheit.

Crows Holding Their Own.

There has been hostility between the
farmers and the crows ever since there
were farmers In New England, but the
number of crows, so far as anyone
knows, has not decreased. They are
efficient, they are able to care for
themselves and are likely to hold their
own, no matter how much the popula-
ton may increase. More than that,
despite the severity of winter, each
crow looks sleek and well-fed, perfect
ly at home and contented with its sur
roundings. The English sparrows and
the starlings may seek shelter during
severe weather, but, no matter how
cold or stormy 1t may be, one finds
the crow doing business as usual. l.
the quail and ruffed grouse were as
hardy and intelligent and possessed
with an equally catholic taste for food,
a whole volume of game laws might
be done away with.

"You'll have TO walt till he's through
rehearsng," said the young man, and
then he came over TO Rose.
The yestiges of the smile the duch-
ess had provoked were still visible
about her mouth when ne came up.

sure" said the young man. "He
won't be long now. He's been rehears-
ing since two" Then, rather expiO-
sively, "Have a chair"
He struck Rose as being a little
flustered and uncertain somehow.
1t was a long hour that Rose sat
there In little folding chair-an hour
that, in spite of all her will could do,
took some Of the crlspness out of her
courage.
When at last, a little after six
o'clock, Galbraith said: "Quarter ~
eight, everybody and dismissed them
with nod for n scurry to what were
evidently dressing rooms at the other
side of the hall, the ship Of Roses
hopes had utterly gone to pieces. She

words that he hadn't any use for her.
The deprecatOry young man was
talking to him now, about her and the
duchess evidently, for he peered ont
Into the hall, then vaulted down from
the stage and came toward them.
The duchess got up, and, with a
good deal Of manner, went over to
meet him. Rose didn't hear what the
duchess said. But when John Gal
bralth answered her. his voice easily
filled the room; you tell Mr.. Pike,
if that's his name, we haven't any
vacancies in the chorus at present. II
we find we need you, we can let you
know"
He said it not unkindly, but he ex-
ercised some power of making it evil
dent that as he finished speaking,
the duchess, for him, simply ceased to
exist. Then, with discOncerting sud
denness, he looked straight at Rose
and said: "What do you want?"
She'd thought him tall, but he
wasn't. He was looking on a perfect
level into her eyes.
II want a job in the chorus" said
Rose.
"You heard what 1 said to that 9TH
er woman, 1 suppose"
"Yes," said Rose, "but :"
"But you thought you'd let me say
it to you again"
"Yes," she said. And, queerly
enough, she felt her courage coming
back.

lowed porter to carry her bag into
the waiting room. There she tipped
the porter, picked up the bag herself,
and walked out the other door; crossed
over to Clark street and took a street
car. At Chicago avenue she got off,
and walked north keeping her eyes
open for placards advertising rooms

mile that she found the hatchet-
faced landlady, paid her three dollars,
and locked her door, as a symbol, per-
hnps, of the bigger, heavier door that
she had locked upon her past life.
Strongest among all the weller of
emotions boiling up within her, was
perfectly enormous relief. The thing
which, when she had first faced ii as
the only thOroughfare to the real life
she so passiOnately wanted, had
seemed such veritable nightmare,
was an accomplished fact. The week
of acute agony she had lived through
while she was forcing her sudden res
olution upon Rodney had been all but
uhShuulu uDlC Win lllC tulOlSGu NOh-
temptation of the moment of parting
which they brought so relentlessly
nearer. There had been a terror, too,
lest when the moment actually came,
she couldn't do it. Well, and now it
had come and gone! The surgery of
the thing was over.
Rose busted the mirror with q towel
"a reckless act, as she saw for her
self, when she discovered she was GO
ing to have to use that towel for
week-and took an appraising look at
herself. Then she nodded confidently
there was nothing the matter with her
loOks-and resumed her ulster, her
rubbers, and her umbrella, for it was
the kind of December day which called
for all three. Then, glowingly con-
scious that she was saving nickel by
so doing, she set off downtown afoOt
to get a job. She meant to get it
that very afternoon. And, partly be-
cause she meant to so very definitely,
she did.
On the last Sunday before Rose went
away she had studied the dramatic
section of the morning paper with
a good deal of care, and was rewarded
by finding among the news notes
an item referring to a new musical

Jersey Trees Full Of Snakes.

In the American Magazine is an ac-
count of keen nature photographer
who has confined his activities to New
Jersey and eastern New York.
"One day. with a boy comrade, he
was walking through the woods and
they were startled by the sight of
congregation of black snakes, which
disappeared as if by magic. The boys
hunted among the bushes until they
were attracted by the sight of one
snake hanging in loops from tree;
looking closely, they found that all of
the snakes had sought concealment by
crawling up trees, seeking the end
of a branch and looping over to an
other tree, and they had their first les
son in the method by which snakes
hide themselves and hoodwink their
pursuers.

CHAPTER XIV.
The World Alone.

INV NNOIt0 ENlOuCs
Here's the first weeks rent them
said Rose, handing the landlady three
dollars, "and think you'd better give
me a receipt showing till when it's
paid for"
The landlady had tight gray hair
aud hard-bitten hatchet face. She
had no charms, one would have said,
of person, mind or manner. But 1t
was nevertheless true that Rose was
renting this room largely on the
strength of the landlady. She was so
much more humanity possible than any
of the others at whose placarded doors
Rose had knocked or rung :!
The landlady went away to write out
receipt. Rose closed the door after
her and locked it.
She didn't particularly want to keep
anybody out. But, in sense in which
1t had never been quite true before,
this was her room, room where any
one lacking her specific invitation to
enter would be an intruder-a condi-
ton which had not obtained either In
her mothers house or in Rodney's.
She smiled widely over the absurdity
of indulging in pleasurable feeling of
possession ip a squalid little cubbyhole
like this. The wall paper was stained
and faded; there was an iron bed-the

Various Origins of the slang phrase
'twenty-three" in connection with the
word skidoo-which means to escape
or vamoose-have been given at vari-

would be given by a manager 19 parts

comedy which was to be produced
at the Globe theater Immediately
after the Christmas holidays. "The
Girl Upstairs" was the title of it. II
was spoken of as one of the regular
Globe productions, so it was probable
Jimmy Wallace's experience with the
production of an earlier number in the
series would at least give her some
thing to go by.
Granted that she was going to be a
chorus girl for while, she could hard
ly find better place than one of the
Globe productions to be chorus girl
In. According to Jimmy, it was de-
cent enough little place, and yet it
possessed the advantage of being,
spiritually, as well as actually, west Of
Clark street. Rodney's friends were
less likely to go there, and so have a
chance of recognizing her, than to any
other theater in the city.
The news item in the paper told her
that the production was in rehearsal,
and it mentioned the name of the direc-
tor, John Galbraith, referring to him
as one Of the three most prominent
musical-comedy directors in the coun-
try.
When she asked at the box Office at
the Globe theater where they were re-
hearsing ''The Girl Upstairs" today,
the nicely manicured young man in
side answered automatically, "NOrth
End hail."
I'm afraid" said Rose smiling a
little, 'I'll have to ask where North
End hall is"
'NOt at ALL" said the young man
idiotically, and he told her the ad-
dress--only block or two from Roses
room.

Constructor William McEntee show
that If this vessel were stenming

of the power necessary to propel her
