the largest it has ever been any year dur
ing this month; the same is true of the
Sunday school, and at this season of the
year, when so many of the young people
are away for the summer and with large
number of young men enlisted in the
etmy, yet the averge attendance for the
month of July was 15S, the largest the at
tendance has ever been in this month.
The Epwcrth League service last Sunday
evening was led by Ray Smalley, followed
witita sermon by the pastor and a rousing

HOW INDIANS CATCH SALMON
Equipment Consisting of "Grab-
Hooks" and Long Poles Is Crude
But Very Effective.

The Indians fish for salmon with a
"grabhOok," a large iron hook fastened
to pole by loose cord three or four
feet long. A hole at the blunt end of
the hook that slips over the tip of the
pole keeps it in place until the fish Is
hooked Then the hook is pulled off the
pole and the cord gives the fisherman
chance to play his fish is necessary be-
fore dragging it ashore. The hooks
are made by the blacksmith, but the
poles about twenty feet in length, the
Indians make themselves of red fir, the
Southern Workman says.
Taking a rough piece of dry wood of
the required length, they patiently
work at it with drawshave and knife
until it is the right size and tapered
to suit the workman. Then it is usu-
ally hardened in the Goals before put
ting on the cord, which they braid
themselves. If pole breaks, as often
happens, the broken parts are dashed
together with string, pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
a hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians general
ly fish from the bank or from plat
forms built over the water. They thrust
the long pole out across the river as
far as they can and let the current
carry it down and into the bank, trust
ing to chance and a quick jerk to hook
the fish if they feel one in the water.

MAKING OF VIOLIN STRINGS
Stock Yards and Is Manufactured
by an Interesting Process.

While perhaps most viOlinists know
how the gut strings they use are man
ufactured, there may be those who are
uniformed as to the manufacture of
such strings. This may be explained
in a few Words
The gut D, A, and e strings are
made from the intestines of the sheep.
In the full grown, mature animal, such
intestines are from 40 to so feet in
length.
The raw material is obtained from
the stock yards, and is first thoroughly
cleansed of all fat and flesh fiber, by
dull knives arranged on drum turned
by a crank, says the Musician. The
white and tough membrane that is
left is then split by an expert in this
work, by bringing it against the blade
of a safety razor set upright in table
before the splitter. The material is
thus split into seven strands. These
strands are then spun together, and
placed on frames where they are thor
Oughly dried.
The E string of European make re-
quires four strands, and the e string
of American make six. The strands,
at one end secured to an upright post,
are twisted together while in damp,
pliable condition by means of spin
ming wheel. After removal from the
drying frames, the strings are cut in
lengths, coiled and boxed in oiled pa
per for shipment. Very fine emery
paper laid on a grooved aluminium
block is used while the strings are still
on the drying frames, by passing the
covered block over the strings, as
many strings being polished as there
are grooves in the block.

GERMAN LINE IMPROBABLE
ALLIES EXPECT GREAT AID FROM
UNITED STATES.
Men Sent to Front by U. S. hino
Kaiser Far From
Defeat.

WashingtCn.-Nin American OH
GERS who accompanied Gen Pershlng
to France and made tour along the
western front returned to Washing
ton, prepared to submit a report to
the General Staff These officers rep
resented virtually every arm OF the
service. They were sent with Cen
Pershing to make first hand obserVa-
tions and to come back Immediately
to the capital that they might give
the War Department detailed reports
on conditions in the trenches ana
outline the principal needs of the AL
lies.
The group went to the War Depart
ment upon reaching here, and then
went to the War College, where they
started a series of conferences with
Brig. Gen. Joseph Kuhn.
Despite the fact these officers, or
at least most OF them, have STUDIED
every move Of the war from long
distance and were supposed TO nave
a fairly clear idea of the situation
thew announced at the War Depart
ment that they had no conception OF
the situation until they had followed
the line of the trenches from Switzer'
land to the sea.
They admitted they were astoLnded
at conditions and that virtually all OF
their preconceived notions we're faulty.
According to the observers, the Ger
man line on the western front Is vlrtu'
ally impregnable, as far as the present
alignment Of forces is concerned. me
Allies cannot bulge his line unless
they receive tremendous assistance
from the United States.
There is no evidence whatever that
the backbone of the German Empire
Is about to be broken because OF IN
ternal dissensions or Of shortage OF
foods.
The Allied officers on the front ad-
NIT freely that they cannot break the
German line with their present force.

able, even when it rains, habit which
this climate seems to indulge in very

shade the sun, which though warm,
never seems so bright as at home, due
to the almost constant pressure OF
clouds, or moisture which has not yet
reached the cloud state. These clouds

demands for products which compose
normal exports in peace. times.
The change has come almost un-
noticed" said the secretary, ''at the
very time when many voices were
raised to say it could only come with
shock. The drift on this side of
the sea has been toward placing muni-
ton orders in Canada rather than
with us. In our own land the orders
have changed from finished munitions
to demands for the materials out of
which munitions can be made. These
materials are in chief part our nor

imports than toward pouring forth

heads vast volume of finished pro-
ducts, accumulated with well intent.
