BOOK OUTPUT IS INCREASED
Number Of Publications in United
States in 1916 Showed Gain In
Spite Of Rising Costs.

The rising cost of paper, ink ana
the other materials of bOOkmaklng
did not Curtail the number of publiCa-
tionS in 1916: instead there was a net
gain n III. OF American publications
there was a falling off in the number
the writer's. though generally main
tanning the pen is mightier than the
sword, have taken up the latter. That
the cost Of production does not re-
strict the book output is indeed fortu-
nate for aspiring authors; If the pub
fishers choose to make the price Of pa
per an excuse, they could make the
path 10 literary success stOnier than I
is now, says the Pittsburgh Gazette.
But in n land that turns out 10,445
titles in q year, as this one did In
1916, there is a chance for the medi-
OGRE. OF the output, S,797 were works
done In America. so leaving out the
best sellers and class and technical
books, quite number of poets and
story tellerS must have taken their
places among the elect. One would
hardly think authors were SO plentiful
1t is probable the war has speeded up
book production, and that II would
have 10 make printing costs very high
before the tide of war-bOrne fiction
and other matter would be stemmed.-

TORPEDO WILL FOLLOW SHIP
Magnetic Torpedo Is Latest Invention
Of Young Ameriea-Attraeted by
Mass Of Metal.

The inventive mind of young Amer
ica has become proverbial Its latest
invention, and one in which belliger-
ent Europe is greatly interested, Is a
magnetic torpedo which is attracted
by any great mass OF metal, so that
when it approaches the ship which is
its target it will turn and follow the
unfortunate vessel il spite Of all at
tempts to dodge it. This apparent hyp-
notism is caused by two wire magnetic
coils four inches il diameter which
are attached to two nickel arms pro-
jecting at right angles from the sides
OF the torpedo. The presence Of any
large mass Of metal affects the cur
rent passing through these coils. which
in turn affects the motor controlling
the rudder, 10 that the torpedo will
continually turn toward its target, no
matter how often it may dodge

MAY FOUND JEWISH REPUBLIC
England, France and United States to
Exercise Joint Protectorate After
War, Is Report.

Palestine is to become a Jewish re-
public at the end of the war, accord
ing TO a recent report that appeared
simultaneously in London and Wash
ingtOn. 1t is thought possible that the
disposition Of the Holy Land was one
of the subjects discussed by the Brit
ish and French ENJOYS with President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing at
Washington. That the United States
would favor such plan Is considered
certain.
According TO the report the Jewish
republic. known as Judea, would be Il
prOteCtorate of England, France and
the United States acting Jointly. Je-
ruSalem would be the capital Of the
new republic. which would have local
government. Should this plan be car
rled into operation great migration
of the Jews back 10 their ancient land
will likely take place. Not a great
many are expected to leave the United
States. but the several million more
or less prosecuted members of the
race in ROumania, Serbia, Austria
Hungary and Germany, along with
some from Russia, no doubt will take
advantage of the chance to live in a
state where they will have equal OPP
portunity as We'll as the right TO wOr-
ship in their old temples. Jerusalem,
under such condition, would become
again city Of millions and the great
spaces of now arid lands in Palestine
would be reclaimed.

Paris. - American troops are In the
first line trenches on the French front.
The artillery fired the first shot of the
war at 6 o'clock on the morning Of
recent day at Ii German working party.
There has been intermittent artillery
fighting since.
A helmeted infantry marched In
without the knowledge of the enemy,
on the same night through rain and
mud. The French soldiers In the
trenches welcomed them enthusiastic
ally.
The nearest enemy trench is several
hundred yards away. The sector is one
of the quietest on the front. 1t has not
been taken over, being under the con-
troll Of troops under the direction of
the French.
The Americans have shelled German
positions and troops, the enemy send-
ing shell for shell. The first shell
case will be sent to President Wilson.
The close is now in the possession Of
General Sibert. The shot was fired by
a red haired gunner as his comrades
in the ranks and the assembled Of
ficers cheered. Later luncheon in
the field was attended by the Amer
lean and French artillerists in celebra-
ton of the first American contact with
the enemy.
The gun used in firing the first shot
was one of the famous French 75's.
On the second day the French shelled
German battery position which was
located by sound, and the enemy re-
piled vigorously, projectiles falling
close to the Americans, who Joined in

All the troops will be relieved after

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test a man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation of his water. This is most essen
tial because the kidneys play a most i'm

and death. The more Injurious the pois-

comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, who further
advise all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water

Became a Bit Worried.

The conversation at recent social
affair turned to the beautiful indiffer-
ence of some children, when this story
was fittingly related by Representa-
tive Frank L. Greene Of Vermont.
Recently a small party named Bes-
sic had birthday, and little girl
friend Of her own age was invited to
come around and help her celebrate
the glad occasion. Both were given
cake and things, and afterward they
happily pranced off to the upper part
Of the house.
Two hours later the mother of Bes-
sic went to look for the children and
found her sweet child sitting alone in
great armchair nibbling on REM
nant Of the dainty repast.
"Why, Bessie" exclaimed the sur
prised mother, glancing around the
room, "where is your little friendf'
ave were playing hide and seek in
the attic" calmly answered Bessie, as
she continued to nibble her cake. "and
gave up looking for her quite long
time ago"

LIBERTY LOAN OVER

Federal Reserve Banks Struggle Un-
der Avalanche of Last Minute Sub
scriptions, over Billion Dollars
Coming in Last Day.

Washington.-The American people
Rave again shown their loyalty. When
the second Liberty loan drive ended
Saturday night over five billion dol
lars had been subscribed, considerably
over a billion dollars being raised In
the final days drive. Just how much
the amount desired was Oversubscribed
is not known, and will not be for sew
eral days, as the report Of subscrip-
tons FROM different sections have not
all been received.
Secretary McAdoo announced late
Saturday night that the second Lib
erty loan had been an overwhelming
success.
st is {, great honor" said the secre-
tary, "to be able to announce that the
second Liberty loan has been greatly
oversubscribed. 1t will be several
days before final figures can be given.
1.-THE challenge of the German kaiser
has been answered by the free peo-
pie of America in unmistakable
terms"
Federal reserve banks are strug-
Cling under an avalanche of last-min-
ute subscriptions to form some idea
of the grand total. Indications are
that they will not complete their tabu-
lation for several days.
At least 100000 persons through
out the country wrote their names on
application blanks. How many more
did so will not be known until the
final count several days hence. The
number may go as high as 1O,OOO,OOO.
A last-day drive of titanic proper
tons throughout the nation rounded
up more than $1,OOO,0OO,000 and was
believed to have carried the total sew
eral hundred million dollars beyond
the maximum sum treasury officials
had hoped for.
Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Col

states, responded nobly to the request
for funds, the subscriptions being an

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Many Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use Of Rising Infection.

1t Is a modern conversational fad TO
use the rising and interrogative in
Election great deal, even when a
question Is not intended at all. The
women are more apt to use Il than the
men, and 1t started a few years ago,
merely as a pretty trick of talking.
with no harm in it, mo harm L tn
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But 1t has been so very much over
done and is now so general that we
are inclined to wonder If 1t betokens
state of mind, or, on the contrary, If It
is likely to have an influence on the
mind. For rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and, when ap-
piled to sentence that is supposed to
be q statement of fact, it necessarily
weakens that statement.
We have heard people who were
narrating some simple incident use
this rising infection so repeatedly that
they seemed to question all their own
statements, or to seem to appeal to
their hearers for agreement. And that
doesn't Indicate just the right state Of
mind. If person has anything to
say and believes 1t. he should be will
ing to state II quite simply and posi-
lively. A positive statement does not
mean an aggressive one; and a per-
son must needs be in a rather pitiful
state of fear of his hearers opinions
II he is afraid to utter an affirmative
sentence.

THIS PIPE HAS A HISTORY
Was Smoked by Sir Walter Raleigh,
Who First Introduced Use OF
Tobacco Into England.

A pipe with history is In the pos
session of collector In London which
was once the property Of Sir Walter
Raleigh, and Is not unlike the letter
-'Y" In shape. For centuries 1t has
been kept In an inlaid box dated AN
no, 1927" 1t is constructed in four
pieces Of wood. rudely carved with
dogs heads and with the faces OF In
dams. On the bowl there is cap
about as large as the bowl Itself, and
attached to the stem is a string OF
beads made of the same wood ms the
pipe. In this stem a powerful whistle
has been cut, and the suggestion Is
made that Sir Walter used 1t to sum-
mon his servants.
The Archaeological society exhibited
this pipe at Guildhall In the middle of
the last century, the inscription accom-
panying II bearing these words: THE
original pipe OF the above celebrated
historian Of the world, and who first
introduced tobacco and potatoes into
England" Tradition, corroborated by
a parchment in the possession OF the
owner. states that this pipe was
smoked by Sir Walter on the scaffold
lust before his execution and handed
to one of his relatives as u memento
of him.

OrIoIn of Superstitlons.

Mans curiosity is in excess OF his
power to interpret and understand.
Consequently, he guesses, and when he
guesses wildly and-as it seems to 9TH
ers, probably of later date-inaccu-
rately, his guess is called superst-
ton. writes j. Arthur Hill In Cham
bers Journal.
Owing to the innate conservatism
of human nature, a superstition may
linger long after Its origin is COM
pletely forgotten and after people have
clearly seen that there is no rational
evidence for the thing believed. This
APPLIES to customs of all sorts.

M'ADoo URGES EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Says Suffrage Should Be Granted
Promptly and UnQrudQinoly.

Washington. - Secretary McAdoo,
under the title, 1.-The Duty of the Ma
ton to Its Women" made the follow
ing statement Sunday:
The time has come when suffrage
should be given to the women of
America. 1t should be given promptly,
it should be given ungrudgingly, it
should be given gladly. The women OF
the United States have in every way
especially since the war broke out,
shown themselves qualified for the
right of suffrage.
"When America energies from this
war, as she will, with enhanced pres
tige and responsibilities to the whole
world, women and men alike must,
upon "A perfect equality so far as their
civil status is concerned, work out the
momentous problems of the future as
equal partners"
