right, younger brother of John Jinright,
circuit clerk of Pike county, was struck
by lightning Tuesday and badly burned.
He was sitting in his home about two
miles north of Orion bridge when a
chimney on the house was struck during
a thunderstorm, the bolt passing down
the chimney and hitting Mr. Jinright on
the thigh. His thigh and leg were badly
burned and his shoe torn open. He was
made very ill by the shock but is now
able to be up but cannot use the injured
leg much on account of the soreness.

never before have American cooks and
salads and sandwiches SO well as this
year. For this year, along with front
lawn planted to potatoes and country
club meadows ploughed up for corn,
there have sprung up, one might al
most say, 100000 little kitchen gardens

Violent Earth Tremors
Recorded in New Orleans

New Orleans, July 27.-Violent earth
tremors, presumably occurring in Cen
trail America or Mexico, were recorded
here last night by the Loyola university
seismograph The instructor in charge
of the seismograph stated the records
showed the disturbance was about 1000
miles from here and the absence Of pre-
liminary shocks identified it as similar
to those which in the past have occurred
in southern Mexico and in Central
America.
Cleveland, July N.-An earthquake
lasting half an hour was recorded last
night on the seismograph at st. Ignatius
college. Father Odenbach, observer in
charge, was unable to estimate the prob
able location of the disturbance, but be-
lieves it was several thousand miles
distant. The primary indication of the
quake was recorded at S:0l20 O'Clock.
The secondary came at S:07:25, the main
indication at S:14:55 and the maximum
wave at Sis o'clock.

A NEW KIND OF COAT

In this country we wear natural pom
gee more than the dyed kind. 1t Is not
becoming color to any face, and.
therefore, it must be kept aawy from
the neck and chin by collar and
blouse.
The new suits that are made of it
are extraordinarily good, because our
close touch with the orient in the way
of commerce g., has brought to us the
kind of pongee that is turned into adj
mirable tailored lines and has not the
deep. ugly coloring of the cheap pom
gee which once prevailed.
The sketch shows how one tailor
turned pongee suit into something
with actual distinction.
The skirt Is simple with a slight in
olination toward the pegtop silhouette
The coat may be forerunner of what
is to come In October. 1t has an I'M

that come to point at the waistline

will bring it out in a definite way.

At the time the German ambassador

Naturally the stirring news coming
from Washington greatly perturbed

letting OF OF steam. The result was
an invitation to Dr. Green to address

were sent to his hotel bearing the In
vitation to accompany them back to

and visitors.
In bis present tour under the chau.

The nation is bending every effort

DOING ONES DUTY.
Inspiring Extract From French Sol
dier'S Diary.

Young Antoine Boisson, born of a
family of soldiers, at Lure, in one OF
those little towns of eastern France
so rich in military virtues, left his
lycee to enlist, at the outbreak OF
war, writes Maurice Barries, in the
July Atlantic While an aspirant in
the forty-seventh regiment of artil-
lery, he died for France at eighteen
In his diary-the date is January |,
19l6-he wrote:
To-day begins the new year. 1t
will be the year of victory. What
will it mean for me? The greatest
year of my life surely, if God grants
that l survive. am going to fight;
l am going to take part in war-in

seventeen months, has numbered SO

may be awaiting me, l shall waste no
time thinking about the future.

What will be left of me when still
another year has taken the place OF
this one?' But my conscience quick
ly replied, DO your duty, your whole
duty. That is the only thought wor-
thv of q volunteer soldier like YOUR
SELF Let soul and heart obliterate
the animal instinct and the revolt
of ones baser nature. A man must
hold up to himself some great dream
to follow, some goal to reach. And
what is this war for, if not to train
character? It has developed within
me feelings 1 am proud of, though
1 am at loss to say why.
Il am proud OF being soldier, OF
being young, of knowing that l am
brave and high Spirited; am proud
Of serving France, the land of my
birth. Loyalty to the flag, love OF
country, respect for the given word,
the sense. of honor-these, for me,
are no hollow, meaningless phrases;
they ring like a bugle call in my
young heart, and for them, when the
moment comes, 1 shall be able to
make the supreme sacrifice
