Tire Real Supermen.
w. r. Thayer. in the Saturday Evening


A grotesque coruudrum suggests itself:
If it took the Germans. by devoting their
chief attention to mi'itarisno, 10 years to
organize magnificent army. and If it has
taken the English. non-milita1ist nation,
two years 90 organize an army equal and
in some respects superior to the German,
who are the supermen?
Perhaps am not deterrent enough to
the superman: but ] deny that anything
whether made of flesh and blood or Of
steel-should be an object of ,everence
much less OF worship. If We're hunting
for superman should look for him in
someone who achieved great victories
against great odds. This has not been
true OF the Germans in the present war.
Iiindenburg in east Prussia and Poland,
Mackensen in Galicia and the Balkans,
Falkenhayn in Rumania. and the gem
erals who led the dash into France and
Belgium-all had great odds in their favor.
AS soon as the allies rose anywhere near
to an equality with them the German
spectacular successes ceased.

American War Bread.

The United States is to have a war
bread. and Mr.. Hoover and his associ-
ates are studying just how it shall be
made. 1t has been decided to use IS per
cent of wheat flour and Is per cent of
other grains. For this Is per cent, rice
flour, potato flour. rye, corn and other
ingredients are being considered. The
effort is to preserve the wheaton flavor
so that the result may be palatable as
well as nourishing. The official food
conservator Of Connecticut has been
trying flour made in Tennessee con-
tanning four fifths wheat flour to one
fifth white corn flo't~ which is said to
bake into very palataola bread. 1t has the
appearance of fine cake in the texture
and crust, and Hartford reports favor
ably upon It,

NEGRO Woman Builds Palace.

From the New York Times.
To own a country estate on the banks
OF the Hudson has been the dream OF
many a New Yorker. 1t is a dream
come true in the case Of Mrs. Sarah j.
Walker, the city's wealthiest negro
woman. Mrs. Walker, or Nine. Walker.
as she is more generally known, has
built a $250,000 home at Iryington.
Twelve years ago she was washer
woman, glad Of a chance to do anyone's
family wash for sL50 a day. Her
friends now acclaim her the Hetty
Green Of her race. They say she has a
cool million, or nearly that.
& Ground for the Walker dwelling was
broken eight months ago. and a large
gang of workmen have been kept busy
ever since. Although the house is near

Mistakes are things anybody can
make successfully, writes Strickland
Gillian in Farm Life.
/ have known people who seemed
to fall at every other kind Of manu-
featuring, who could make as splendid
specimens of mistakes as one could
wish to see.
Yes, and do it easy!

Now. list that thing as one Of the
biggest mistakes I ever made or knew
about.
These days I find myself wondering
If l am not the fellow who invented
them.
Sometimes fellow takes q miss
that nobody else would take, and after
wardsafnds out 1t was mistake.
Anybody under twenty never admits
that he has made mistake.
And he is usually honest about it,
If anybody goes wrong, blame it
onto somebody else.
After. twenty-five he begins to think
of few he made when he was eleven.
BY the time he is forty-five he will
forget the mistakes he made in early
youth because, in looking back over
the trail. the little ones of childhood
are completely hid by the whoppers he
has made since he was thirty-fve.
/ don't know why people have to
make mistakes.
But they are built that way.

take twice.
This encourages me.
For as l look back over mistake
dotted career, believe have reached
the point at which cannot make any
mistakes without repeating.
But that may be mistake.

Also sleep with your window up.
