There is probably no country in the
world where the use of walking sticks
is so general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries a
cane. not only in the towns and cities,
but also In the country; and, in addi-
ton. there is Il large demand for walk
ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively in the country and at sea-
side resorts, but not to Il great extent

The winter months are always rainy
and even during the summer the
weather is often very unsettled so that
the use of umbrellas is also unusually
great These conditions have made

Thounht Cakes tainted.

Virginia loved TO help her mother.
One day her mother was making n
special effort TO bake prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done,
but when removed from the stove 1t
fell fiat and had sad streak through
the center. Another cake was immedl-
ately mixed in haste and little Vlr-
ginias eyes grew large as she lis
tened to her mother lnmenting over the
first sad cake that had fallen. The sec
ond baking proved the same as the
first. but the third attempt resulted In
veritable triumph. Virginia, how
ever, could not rally from the morn
ing's tragedy. and when her aunt came
over she exclaimed in great excite
ment "Oh auntie, mother made three

The Oldest Livinq Creature.

Among the oldest life forms on the
globe is the shellfish, known as the
lingula, Il specimen of which was ia
ken from Manila bay several years
ago. The genus. according to scien-
lists, has remained practically unal-
tered for more.than hundred million
years. With the extraordinary changes
of climate and environment since the
world began most forms of life with
which science is familiar have been
transformed or have altogether disap-
peared since the geologic ages. THAT
the genus lingula," says the. Journal of
Heredity. should have survived for all
these ages, and undergone virtually no
change. is striking evidence of the fact
that the germ plasm, which under some
conditions. rs In the case of the horse
and the dog, is capable of extraordi-
nary variation, is under other condi-
lions remarkably constant"

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
British and French Carry on Bombing
Expeditions to Advantage.

ashington.-During the past week
there have been many raids by both
sides in France from the sea to Swift
erland. The French carried out a raid
In Argonne on a front of 1000 yards
and penetrated to a depth of 500 yards.
The British and French carried out
extensive bombing expeditions into
Belgium and Germany, dropping tons
of bombs on scores of towns and mill
tary establishments. Air battles have
been frequent with heavy losses to both
sides. Americans participating in these
battles have brought down enemy ma
chimes.
General Pershing reports several
men "killed in action" but the nature
of the fighting is not reported.
In Russia the army has become so
demoralized that big stretches of the
front are open to the enemy. Mean
time the Bolsheviki continue to talk
peace with the Germans while engag-
ing in civil war with the Cossacks and
Ukrainians and fighting the Ruma-
mans. The Rumanians are said to
have surrounded the Russian town of
Kishinev, scene of the famous mas
sacre of Jews. The Bolsheviki are also
stabbing Firyand in the back by fur
nishing arms to insurgents against the
new republic. Finland has sent an ulti
matum threatening war.
The Germans appear to have started
a campaign Of destruction in the Unit
ed States, but the events are not yet
clearly enough defined to- describe
Piers, shipyards, ships and factorie:

Washington.-William G. McAdoo.
director general of railroads, on Jsnu-
airy 81 issued peremptory orders to all
railroad officers and directors to cut
off Immediately from the payrolls all
legislative railroad lobbyists, super
numerary lawyers, useless railroad lit
erary associations, political payments
and all passes, intrastate as well as

Director General McAdoo would not
discuss his sweeping order. But from

tors also may be struck by the govern
ment cowcatcher.
Several million dollars will be saved
