Blaney laughed. The picture Clair
made obliterated the recollection OF his

caught sight of my seal ring on Vida's

RECORD BELONGS TO SIRIUS
Small Vessel Was the First to cross
the Atlantic Wholly Under Its
Own Steam.

This spring marks the eightieth an
niversary of an important event In
modern history-the voyage from Cork
to New York of the Sirius. the first
vessel to cross the Atlantic wholly I'M
der its own steam. All that remains
of that stanch little craft is number
of brass paper-weights made from the
metal work after it was wrecked in
Ballycotton bay in 1S47. Captain Rob-
erts, commander of the 412-ton Sirius
on its maiden trip, was later trans
ferred to the President, which went
down with all on board. Thus both
the Sirius and her master met with
tragic end.
The Sirius made the voyage from
Cork in 10 days. reaching New York
only few hours before the Great
Western. another steamship which
had sailed from Bristol. The latter
made the best time, crossing the.
ocean in is days. The Sirius had
passenger list of seven on its initial
voyage, the youngest of whom was
Vincent e. Ransome, then four years
old, who was reported living a few
years ago in Wiltshire, England,
where he was long the rector Of a
parish church.
The Sirius was schooner-rigged
ship and was ITS feet over all, with
n beam of % feet and depth Of 10;
feet.

KIND TO PRISONERS-GUILTY
German Women Warned That They
Will Be Punished for LACK
of Self-Respect."

Women. even the miraculous Ger
man superwomen, are incorrigible,
observes a writer in the Literary d.
gest. The German government has
Just discovered TO its horror that
Gretchen, in common with all the
daughters of Eve, Is not insensible
to the charms of well favored man,
and, if given THE opportunity, even
she is disposed to fiirt. The Franken-
furter Zeitung Indignantly writes:
Female inhabitants of houses adj
jacent to camps of officer prisoners
of war have repeatedly attempted TO
enter into communication with the
imprisoned officers, and even throw
them things. Thanks, however, to the
sharp lookout kept by the authorities,
the attempts in each case were frus-
trated. The guilty persons, who be-
long to all classes of society and are
of various ages, were discovered.
"Whlle the police authorities have
hitherto considered sharp reprimands
as sufficient warnings, in the belief
that such unconsldered acts were due
TO foolish desire for sensation, In
by very severe legal penalties and
public exposure. These penalties will
Furthermore be imposed without dis
elimination on all who may render
themselves guilty of such lack of self
respect"

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF WHEAT
Shortage Has Shown Us the Wonder
full and Unique Qualities Contained
In the Grain.

As absence makes the heart grow
fonder, so does scarcity of wheat In
vite attention to its wonderful and
unique qualities as food. We have been
eating wheat products all these years
as a matter Of course, and it never oc~
CURED to US that we might ever be
called on to go without them. Now
that 1t is necessary to use wheat sub
stltutes, we have discovered that use
full as they are there is nothing that
really takes the place Of wheat -four.
The magic of the wheat lies in its
gluten-what the baker refers to as
the "binder." He must have a certain
proportion Of wheat flour to furnish
the binder, or his oatmeal bread or his
rice pastry crumbles. The substitutes
have the same nourishment as the
wheat. But they lack the quality OF
the wheat flour crust. There is moth
ing in them to imprison the gases lib
Grated by yeast, and so they refuse to-
rise like wheat dough. Bread made Of
the substitutes is heavy and soggy I'M
less there is enough wheat dough
mixed in to give it life.
Without wheat we go without
bread, without cake. without pie, with
out strawberry shortcake. No affec-
dion for corn pone can make it a SUBJ
stitute for all these stand-bys of the
table. If 1t Is necessary for the sake
of the war, we shall cheerfully go
without. Any deprivation we may feel
is rs nothing to what our associates In
arms already have undergone. But we
shall look forward to the happy days
when there will be an abundance of
wheat once more.-KanSas City Star.

London's Tea Houses.

The death of Sir Joseph Lyons re-
minds us what a modern institution
the teashop Is. You need not be very
old to remember the time when prac-
tically the only places where cup Of
tea could be obtained In London were
the old fashioned coffee houses. with
their boxed-ln compartments and mar
row, uncomfortable seats.
The customers were exclusively men.
and If a woman required light refresh
ment she had to search for a confec-
toner's shop. where tea and coffee
were sometimes grudgingly served, at
famine prices. at little round marble
tables tucked away In dark corners

bravery were the only test for winning
our affections the Americans would
merit the highest possible esteem. hut
it is not bravery alone which hhs given
to the Americans their great success in
the last ten days. Fiercely as they have
fought, they nevertheless fought intelli-
gently and profltably,
There are units which have had more
experience in battle than others. but
when units that have been held in re-
serve in the quiet sectors are thrown into
battle they soon distinguish themselves
for the intelligent manner in which they
carry out the tasks assigned to them.
There is one American unit which has
been hghtng ever since the German Of
fensive started. and this unit has won
undying renown despite the fact that
previous to the launching of the big Ger
man effort it had experienced only trench
raids.
In the last ten days this unit has
helped TO slaughter the far famed Prus-
sian Guard Division, which the Kaiser &
commanders threw into the breach to
stop the Americans. Such achievements
give an indication Of the fighting value
OF the Americans.
News that Scottish troops are in ac-
ton near Scissors, where the America ms
fought earlier. has aroused much interest
all along the line. l have very vivid
impression of the day when the k!lties
went up to the line in motor lorries
