No Match famine.

Every few days one reads in the pa
pers stories about "match famine"
but the largest manufacturers assert
that there Is no need for alarm from
that source. There Is, they say, GER
tain shortage In "strlke-On-thc-box"
matches, due to the fact that all for
eign matchmakers, especially the
Swedes, are having trouble In getting
materials. and are shipping here very
few matches Of that sort, while the
United States government has virtu-
ally Communicated the output of that
type Of match made in America for
use In the army and navy.
But as for household matches there
are plenty of the well-knOwn brands
to be had. and no prospect Of n short
age. A few Of the small manufactur.
ers occasionally have period OF short
age In certain materials, but the big
companies are turning out plenty.

FAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST
Native African Kept Eyes on Watch
Tor Hour, Lest Il Should Go
" "Jump, Jump"

France has many black fighting men
from Senegal In the field; nor are they
the only troops recruited from savage
or semisavage races that are engaged
In the great conflict A young British
officer found himself one night, by q
mischance to his motorcycle. stranded
by the wayside. and with only a little
group OF negro stragglers anywhere In
sight. He was very tired, having had
no sleep for many hours. One of the
Africans talked the pidgin English of
a coast town, and this man informed
him that some motOrlorries would be
coming along soon,' upon which It
would be possible to get lift.
"Soon." in the mouth of an African.
is an elastic term, but the captain
thought he could afford to wait an
hour before setting forward on foot In
search OF some other means OF trans
portation. Meanwhile, he wanted q
nap-%anted 1t desperately-but he
could not trust himself to wake Mt the
end Of an hour. The African could not
tell time. but the captain determined
to depend upon him, nevertheless.
Showing him the dial Of his wrist
watch, he explained that he wished to
be walked when the long hand reached
there and the short hand there. Then
ne lay down, with arn extended. and
the negro crouchcd beside him, with
his eyes on the dial.
Exactly at the right moment the
sleeper was called; nnd as he opened
his eyes they fell upon the African, in
precisely the same position, with
something. strained In his aspect that
suggested inquiries. 1t appeared that
he had not dared look away during the
entire hour.
"For sure him clock trabbel slow,
mnssn." he explained "But s'pose him
stop go walkee, walkee2 S'pose him
go jump. jump?"
Upon river steamer in Africa Miss
Mary Kingsley, the English explorer,
once heard other passengers giving di-
rections to the native steward in the
adjoining main saloon:
You savvy six o'clock2 When them
long arm catch them place. and them
short arm catch them place, you call
me In the morning time"
An interval Of silence, and then an
other voice:
'You savvy five o'clock7 When them
long arm" And so 1t went on, until
each passenger had pointed out on the
clock face the proper relation Of the
two hands to each other at the moment
he desired to be called. The ignorant
native steward, who could not tell time
and could not learn to, was vet suf-
fciently obscrvant to place and re-
member the calls correctly; he never
got them mixed.-YOuth's Companion.

Japan's Income Tax increases.

Japan having decided upon an in
crease In her navy that involves the
expenditure of $15O.OOO.OOO, spread
over six years, general increase OF
taxation has been proposed, and it will
probably be carried out.
The income tax Is to be raised in "A
way to bring an aggregate addition
OF 20 per cent, the increase being
graduated so as to be only 10 per
cent upon the smallest incomes and
so per cent upon the largest. The
minimum income tax will be $3.50.
war profits tax is to be initiated
on both business profits and on in.
comes, but no personal income of less
than $500 year will be taxed on
account of it's having risen during the
war, and in this way the wages of
working people and moderate salaries
do not have to pay for the wage in
crcascs of war time. Higher than
$1,000. personal incomes must pay II
per cent of increase and companies
that have increased profits must pay
~ per cent tax upon the increase.

In the language of the trenches. 1t is

But the volcano itself took the word
from the original "crater"-the mix
Ing bowl (frOm the verb meaning to
mix). in which the Greeks from the
earliest known times, mingled water
with the wine that they seldom cared
or dared to drink neat
These cratcrs, which stood in con-
