French Aristocrats in War.

Although France is a republic, the
French aristocracy has been as eager
in it's war service as the British aris-
tOcracy. The difference is that, while
the British arlstocrat is almost al
ways a commissioned officer, the ma
jority of the French counts and baronS
are serving in the ranks. Two thou
sand one hundred and seventy-siX no.
bles have already written their names
on the roll of honor. Among them are
Prince Louis Murat Il descendant Of
Napolean's marshal; the Due de
ROhan. who before his death had won
both the Croix de Guerre and the
Legion Of Honor, and the Comte de
Turenne, a descendant of the famous
marshal of France. The Comtesse
O'Gorman lost her life while working
as a Red Cross nurse, after having
been decorated with the Crolx de
Guerre.-Dundee Advertiser.

Increasing the Vocabulary.

when you read a book and come TO
4 new word, DO you pass it by or turn
" Me dictionary to learn it's meaning?
An extensive vocabulary is one Of
the best indications of education and
culture, and careful reading is one of
the most effective ways of adding new
words. The use of the dictionary
should not be regarded as task, but
us u pleasure TO be resOrted to upon
every convenient occasion. Some peo-
pie make Il daily study of the words,
The ordinary individual of fair edu-
cation, we are told, controls from 5000
to 5000 words. 4 modern encyclo-
pedia says that this estimate is too
high, even in America. An English
farm hand, it says, has a vocabulary
limited to 300 words. A distinguished
American educator believes that a
well-educated citizen of this country
can control from 10000 to $4,000. Tho
best English writer's do not employ an
extended vocabulary, preferring to ap-
peal, as nearly as possible, to all
classes Of readers.-COlumbus Dis

The weight of the body in standing
and walking normally comes down on
an elastic arch composed of l. bones
of different shapes, joined together by
ligaments and connected with muscles.
This complicated structure must bear
at each step the entire bodily weight ;
and, instead of being left to perform
its function naturally, ms is the case
with the knee, the elbow and other
joint structures, The foot is incaSed
from early childhood in Il restraining
leather covering that congresses and
deforms the fore part of the foot.
Here, then, Is Il process tending not
only to distortion, but also to the
great weakening of the muscles at
tached to the foot, many of which
have their origin at and even above
the knee joint. And SO there is after
very little walking much fatigue, pain
throughout the lower eXtrenlties,
backache and even headache.

How a Machine Gun Is Fired.

How a machine gun is fired through
a revolving propeller is told in a re-
cent issue of Aeronautics, in an article
describing the more important features
of two German Fokkers brought down
behind the lines in France. On these
monoplanes, according to the descrip-
ton, the machine gun is fired through
the propeller by means of small lever
actuating BOwden wire. Provision
is further made to throw the machine
gun mechanism momentarily out Of
gear as each whirling propeller blade
comes into line with the muzzle. This
is done very simply by means OF a
double cam fixed on the engine shaft
and acting on system of levers. The
French MOrane. after which the Fox
ker type has been modelled. also fires
it's machine gun through the tractor
screw.

Creates . Sensation by Seeking Bap.
tism at the Hands Of koji,
a Reformed Convict

The Morimura Guml, one of the larg-
est and Oldest japanese export houses
Of porcelain and eurios, is especially
well known In the United States. Its
head, Baron Ichizayemon Morimura,
has for many years been propa-
gandist OF temperance and undenom-
national Christianity. Like Mr.. Dwight
L. Moody in America, he and several
assistants have travelled about Japan,
preaching to the people. He is one of
the earnest supporters of the joint
church movement in Japan.
A sensation was created recently,
says New York correspondent, when
the baron sought baptism ut the hands
of Yoshitaro Koji, reformed convict
"A perfect prototype of the late Jerry
McAuley of New York, founder of the
Oliver street and Cremorne missions.
Mr.. Koji is an interesting personality.
He was raised among criminals, and
served % years in prison, where he
earnestly studied Christianity and be-
came converted. When liberated sew
eral years ago, he at once set out as
a religious teacher, going among all
personal views, but chiefly exhorting
TO morality, self-sacrifice and humility.
He did not preach the doctrine Of
any particular denomination. but
based his creed upon Shrist's "Sernon
on the Mount" and the Lords Pray

although many Of them have shown
him respect. He hasn't any church of

he Is introduced, gains their friend

features Of Christianity. lie makes
no distinction between Catholic and
Protestant. He has much respect for
true believers and practitioners of the
MOhammedau faith, especially eXtOl-
ing their temperate habits. He visit
ed Korea and Manchuria and walked
thousands of miles among the villages
far off the beaten tracks and rail
ways.
Baron Morimura has for several
years shown peculiar interest in the
personality of this humble Christian,
and recently asked ExhOrtsr Koji to
baptize him. Other members of the
HOrimura family are Protestant
church members. The baron has or

RESTED men BEST
Can Do More Work Than Those
Who Are Fatigued.
Josephine Goldman Discusses the Ten
Hour Law-Great Changes Are
Taking Place.

Tremendous changes in the nations
Industrial life are taking place in the
midst OF war. None Is greater than
that caused by the Supreme court de.
cision holding valid the Oregon ten
hour law for men and its minimum
wage law for women and girls, says
the New York Evening Sun.
Eleven states have been marking
time, half-hcartodly enforcing their
minimum wage laws; in reality, hold
Ing them in allegiance pending the rul-
ing of the United States Supreme
court.
In New York state Senator Wagner
has introduced bill establishing the
minimum wage principle. In the Dis
trict of Columbia plans for the intro
duction in congress of n minimum
wage bill have been held up for year
in the hope Of Il favorable decision on
the Oregon statute. Similarly. legis-
lators in number of states have been
reluctant to present minimum wage
bills under the rendering of decision
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Arkansas, California, Oregon, Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Utah, Washington and
Wisconsin are the states that have the
minimum wage laws on their statute
records. In California the authority
Of the Industrial commission expired
"snd enforcement Of the law was prac-
Ideally dropped pending the Oregon
ease. In Minnesota it was imperative
because of an injunction.
Miss Josephine Goldmark, associated
" writing the briefs In the Oregon
ease, said after the decision:
AS to the ten-hour law for men.
such law is states most urgent
duty. In overwcrk America finds one
Of its most serious menaces To the
public health. People die young in
America. Workers wear out quickly.
The average length OF life has been
increased, but fewer adults than ever
live to old age.
"Thc tired worker is a great prob
lem for society. The victim of IA
tigue is a menace to public health and
morals and to national integrity. He
takes to drink and drugs. America
in war needs to conserve its vigor and
energy. The rested man can do more
work than the man who is fatigued."

AS the automobile party passed one
corner they saw Il soldier on guard, Il
big white dog beside him. and then n
beautiful American flag. OF course this
combination attracted the attention of
every one in the car. The flag was
silk, the dog majestic and the soldier
proud of his trust.
"Oh, look at that dog on guard" ex-
claimed the woman.
The little boy snickered audibly. All
were impressed with the solemnness
Of the scene, and this outbreak seemed
to the father uncalled for.
"What do you mean, laughing, john

WHICH WAY ARE you FACING?
Can You Distinguish Between the
Grand or Commonplace, the No
BILE or Contemplated

At a popular seaside resort two
Of these faced the ocean. A silver
moon threw a luminous path across
the water, and touched with strange
radiance the breakers as they broke
In foam on the sand. A red signal
light in the distance blinked its warn
silently. Seated there one forgot the
the noisy jostle of the busy world, and
felt life's beauty and majesty.
The adjacent seats faced in the OPP
pOsite direction. The occupants looked
on merry-gO-round and screen on
which moving pictures were being
thrown. This bench was crowded. The
young people who sat there saw many
colored electric lights, in place of the
moon and the stars, and listened TO
the bOisterOus music of Il steam piano,
rather than to the laundering melody
OF the waves. They laughed over the
fantastic pictures on the screen, I'M
mindful of the sublime scene over their
shoulders.
These young people, so close that
their garments touched, carried very
different impressions away from their
evening. They had been together, but
they had been facing different ways.
Some had seen the petty and belittling,
others had looked on the majestic and
uplifting and beautiful; and the life
Of neither could be quite the same
after that evening.
The seaside episode has its counter
part in everyday life. We can gee the
grand or the commonplace, the noble
or the sontemptiblo, the uplifting or
the degrading. Which way are we
fadng?-Girls' Companion.

WHISKY AND CRIME

Those two old comrades in arms
whisky and crime, have been sepa-
rated after many years of associa-
ton. The parting was not of their
own volition for they love each other
but came as the result of circum-
stances. High prices have made a
pultocrat of John Barleycorn and
crime cannot stand the pace that he
has set.
The Columbia police estimate that
three-fifth of the crime here is due
either directly or indirectly to
alcohol. Columbia is a local option
town but liquor has found its way
here in spite of the fact that illegal
traffickers were usually given the
maximum sentence in court. When
the prices were low the offenders
were willing to take a chance" with
the law. Now since the price of drink
has scared it requires too much
capital to have a flourishing boot
Logging business and the number of
customers has fallen off.

CONSUMPTION OE MIND

In our haste to get into action after
the decisibn of Congress in early
April, America has made mistakes
which could only be expected from a
nation new at the business of war.
But the greatest mistake has been the
sanction of the radicals to the pro-
gram of intolerance which has swept
over the land. The foes of autocracy
have unwittingly become the foes of
democracy as democracy is conceived
by thinking Americans. The irrational
loyalists have set about to conscript
not only the men and wealth of the
country, but also its mind.
Dig John Dewey explains not on a
basis of war psychology, but rather
upon the fact of our inexperience in
the new order of war. We decided at
last to enter the war and, as we
Americans always do, we decided to
make our entrance effective and the
conclusion soon. We planned huge
army over night; we planned a host of
battle planes, and a great feet of |
merchant vessels. And the over-zeal- |
GUS loyalists took drastic measures to |
squelch any opposition from the press.
They have succeeded in making the |
POstmaster-General the censor of the |
minds of our people. He is given
more power to cripple democracy than
any agency of censorship in modern
nations.
The question is-what are we going
to do about it? No one wishes to be
disloyal. We all want the disloyal
people treated with severity. But we
do protest at such censorship as ex-
lists now. 1t is unfair to the principles
of honest men, and it creates a dis
turbing agency, perhaps, as some un-
wise editorial utterances might create.
We can only ask those who have the
enforcement of the law in hand to act
with tolerance and to do nothing
which may bring discredit upon our
government. We cannot sanction
of opinion. The mind of
our democracy must be free, for ii Is
through its mind, crystalized public
opinion, that the nation acts.
