It so happened. that hen which had
a brood of seven chickens was killed

with somber black curtains. and in the

The useful work performed by dogs
In France reminds US that within liv-
ing memory dogs were employed to
draw carts In England for pleasure
as well as for the conveyance Of fish.
In the first half Of the nineteenth CEN
fury they were largely used by work
ingmen and the humber members OF
'the fancy" for Sunday outings, says
the London Chronicle.
The dogs employed were sturdy an
imals of a mongrei character, general
ly with a strain of the old English bull
mastiff. Twenty miles In and out was
nothing to them, and while on these
excursions they were sparingly fed on
bread soaked In little beer, which Is
said to have been a sustaining diet.

Laurel as National Flower.

England Is fighting now with the
rose as her national flower. The Unit
ed States has no national flower, rec
ognized as such. but the mountain lau-
rel comes nearer TO being the right
candidate for the honor than any other
bloom particularly characteristic of the
United States.
The mountain laurel is not found
In other lands. II Is hardy, perma-
nent, beautiful and widespread In Its
distribution. The great artist, Henry
Turner Bailey, finds in 1t all the sym
boiism necessary to make 1t Uncle
Sans flower.

The diner had finished his first

unvanquished steak before him. Twice
In one minute the new waiter made an
attempt to clear away and received a

Steel ships differ from those OF wood
in that their bulls are made Of steel
plates riveted together. instead Of the
old method OF using wooden planking.
They are enabled to float because, be-
Ing hollow. they have what Is called
buoyancy. A steel ship displaces vol
ume OF water equal In weight to Its
own. The principle Of buOyancy may

The Expert Who Blunders

The accident by which Mr.. Edwin Gould,
ir.. killed himself near Jekyl Island came
not from the blunder of an inexperienced
hunter, but rather from the negligence that
skill and much experience so often breed.
It is a regrettably old story of every hunt
ing ground. The tragic death of Mr.. James
D. Foot at Pinehurst last month was OF
the same character. Neither man thought
it necessary to set the safety catch OF his
shotgun. Both trusted to luck and con-
fdence born of long immunity from acct
dent. The twig that discharged the gun
in each case was the thousandth chance
that MAY or may not overtake the expert
who plays with fate.
Very much the same story runs through
all life. It is not the beginner, the novice,
who has the most accidents. For HIM,
alertness and excessive caution balance
the likelihood of blunders. In the list OF
drownings of bathers every summer there
is an appallingly large number of expert
swimmers. The beginner seldom takes the
chance of real danger. So, too, with the
automobile accidents. 1t is the reckless
chauffeur. amateur and professional, who
furnishes the most smash-ups. His skill
is very great, and the crack driver of car
can take amazing chances successfully
for a while, But the moment comes, the
confluence of a number of lohg-delayed
chances, and no amount of skill can
save him.
The psychology of carelessness among
machine-workers shows parallel results.
No matter how long a man has been work
ing a particular machine and how thor
ouphly he is familiar with the exact risks
before him, the tendency to take chances
is never absent. 1t, indeed, fiourishes with
the lapse of time. Here, as in sport, the
changing personal factor is very great.
On day of complete physical wellbeing
and cheerfulness chances can be taken
with far better likelihood of safety than
on these blue days when everything, in
Guiding ones digestion, betrays one. The
only salvation is in that bump of caution
which all humans possess in varying de-
gree. Respect it, cherish it, obey it, espe-
cially on those days of depression when
nature sets its semaphore against you.
The necessary caution to be used is always
a relative term, relative quite as much to
the mood of the individual as to the situa-
ton presented The most that any human
being can do is TO keep his sense of
caution always lowering in the back
ground of consciousness and trust its in
stinct completely the moment it seeks to
take command.

Paci6sm in Action

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Last Tuesday afternoon | happened to
be going out of the city on the o'clock ex-
press of the Erie. Almost as soon as the
train started, an lI-condtioned, unlocked
young cub, who had imbibed several highballs
too many, proceeded to enliven the smoker
by yelling songs at the top of his voice, in
terspersed with torrents Of profanity and OBJ
soenity. Finally, after playfully tipping the
hats of some of his acquaintance over their
eyes, he slumped himself down in a seat
alongside of a stranger broad houldered,
husky-looking fellow of twenty-five or so.
Something in the looks of the latter appar-
emily did not please him, for he started in to
abuse him in the foulest language. Did the
husky-looking fellow resent it? No! He
got up and moved TO a seat further away,
followed by the derisive curses of the hood
lum. which continued until he staggered off
the train at Ridgewood, ~ j.. which was evil
IDENTIFY his destination.
The episode was an eye-opener to me, as
illustrating how the poison of pacifsm has
been instilled into the rising generation. Had
the drunken young lout used one-tenth Of the
foul insults to me he would have met smash
IN the jaw almost before he had had time to
utter them. even though am rather nearer
sixty than thrty-but, then, pacifsm was not
inculcated ms a virtue in my school and col
lege days and we were not bit too proud 20

The HohenzoIlerns and the German People

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Scott Nearing, professor of social sci
ence at Toledo University, in "The indie
pendent" of December 1S, after eulOgizing
the Germans for their achievements during
the last fifty years, says: There is an i'm
preston, erroneous to the last degree, that
the Hohenzolern dynasty has done all of
these things. Nothing could be further from
the truth. These things have been done by
the German people. The German
people have been responsible for the trans
formation Of Germany. No family, no class,
can assume even major share of the credit
for these achievements
This is terrible Indictment Of the Ger
man people II virtually charges them with
being equally guilty with their ruling family
in bringing about the present worldwide
calamity. Professor Nearing may be so lost
in admiration for German efficiency that he
has lost sight Of the object and worshps
efficiency for its own sake We all admire
the skilled and efficient workman who pro-
duces articles that will add to human COM
fort and happiness, but the sight of great
and powerful nation tramping down smaller
and weaker neighbor in violation of a solemn
treaty, Strengthening its people for defending
their homes. is enough TO make the word
odious for all time.
Who can believe that il this question OF
war had been left to free referendum the
German people would have voted for it? II
we can be induced to believe they would have
SO voted, some smart German professor may
want us 10 believe that Samson did not have
TO catch the foxes he used in his campaign OF
frightfulness, but that they came and backed
up TO him voluntarily and waited while he
tied their tails together and placed firebrands
thereon so that they would be more efficient
in destroying the standing grain of his en-
emies Samson evidently had not reached the
degree Of efficiency attained by the modern
Germans. else he would have allowed his en-
omies 20 harvest and thrash their grain and
when IL was on the road 10 market destroy
the grain, conveyance and driver n one fell
swoop.
France. too, has had her political system
infected by the germs of ruling families, but
something over one hundred years ago DR..
Gullotin gave her something for it. She Is
politically sound to-day, respected in MI civ
ilized countries. 5. WARHhSSE.
