With parents, lfmousines, chauffeurs,
q new recruit arrived at the training
camp, was registered, and assigned
quarters. The chauffeur caught up the
luggage. The officer held up a re-
straining hand. "Mr. So-and-So is now
In the United States service; he will
attend to his own luggage and find his
own quarters" And thus. with no
more aid or ceremony than brick
layer would have received, the son of
a man who could have bought the
camp and all its appurtenances enter
ed the American army. Not wealth,
but what a man proves himself to be,
places him as soldier. Men start
on the same level. save when they
have had special training.

down class distinctions and occasion.

democratic terms has often been noted
abroad. The English assistant has

There 10 one .oncer In the. United

become associated with grief and sor.
row in thousands of American homes
before the end Of the war. This 10
Maj. Gen. Henry p. Mccain, adjutant
general Of the army, whose name 10

After the sinking Of the Cunard liner
Tuscanfa by a German U-boat more
than 100 death messages were sent out
with General McCain's signature. Al.
ter the first serious clash between
American and German forces it is prob.
able that the messages will go out in
thousands.
One of the many unusual conditions
brought about by the war is that Gen.
eral Mccain, whose lot it is thus to
tmpart grief and sorrow wholesale, is
one of the most humane, tender heart
ed officers in the service. The story Of
Lincoln and the pig that stuck in the
mud would apply to Mccain. He might
ride on and let the pig stay, as Lincoln
did but he, too, would turn back even
tually and help the pig out. His mind
would not be at ease otherwise.

FOOLISH FEARS OF BAclLLI
Quite Possible to Have Too Lively an
Imagination, and Thus Shorten
Ones Life.

It Is impossible for person Of imag-
anative temperament to read without
Q tre1nor the pronouncement Of the
medicine men that door knobs and the
like are teen!ing with bacterial life
and dripping with microbes.
As the mind fills in the details Of
the picture. the horrors multiply. To
board street car becomes an opera
ton fraught with extreme peril, for
the hand that grasps the handle clasps
q handful Of germs. Consequently
Mr.. Imagination walks to work, and,
arriving late, seizes the knob Of his
Office door only to let go appalled, with
the thought that the bacilli upon its
shining surface are more numerous
than the inhabitants of the globe.
Braving the dangers that lurk IN
the lunch hour, he approaches the pol
ished brass handle Of the restaurant
door with a shudder as he pictures It
swarming with enemies, like hive
with bees. In the spies Of the invis-
lble empire Of disease that dog his
steps, poison his peace Of mind. and
scare him etiff.
Pretty soon he takes to his bed, and
after q while he finds in nice, anti
septic cemetery an opening for which
he IL fitted. But Mr.. Night Hawk, the
policeman, who tries the door knob Of
every store on his beat at least once
q night, and who doesn't know MI
crobe from a bathrobe, lives to ripe
old age.

orioin Of "m.ehiave,,ian."

A favorite epithet for centuries. the
word "Machiavellian," has seen tire
less service since the beginning Of the
present Var as an adjective to be
hurled at rulers who are accused of
being treacherous and dishonorable.
The adjective is derived from the name
Of Niccolo Machiavelli of Florence.
Italy, who died in 1927.
Machiavelli. famous as an author,
wrote a book. "'rhe Prince" in an en-.
deavor to prove that, for the estab.
lishment and maintenance Of govern.
ment, any means might be resorted to,
no matter how treacherous. unlawful,
or dishonorable. The ruler would be
justified in using these forces, the al.
thor argued, because he would only
be pitting them against similar traits
Of wickedness and treachery in his
people.
Machiavelli was a friend of popular
government, and for several centuries
there were few who argued that
''The Prince" did not truly represent
his principles. but in reality was q
satire on rule by despots. The dispute
was set at rest in 1910. however, by
the discovery of letter written by
Machiavelli. The author said he wrote
the book for the private reading of
the Medici, an italian family Of great
wealth and power. because he desired
to curry favor with them. and he had
no idea the book was to he published.

eirds' Shower Bath,

Nature first provided shower baths
for the birds, and man unintentionally
later added another variety of shower
for "the little brothers Of the air." Ma
ture's gift is the dew. Early in the
morning. when twigs, leaves and grass
are dripping with the rainbow drops.
the birds dart back and forth, under
and above and all around them, caus-
ing the dew to drop on their feathers.
Then they poise in secure limb and
fluff and preen their feathers, all the
time singing or chirping in content
ment. Mans gift is the hose. When
the water is playing over the garden.
the birds delight to hop around where
the spray will fall upon them. or
among the drenched plants which drip
cool refreshment upon the songsters.

1t would be more fitting If few words

SUGAR Beet pu,p for Cattle.

The desert cattle ranchers of Art
zona and New Mexico have learned
that to raise cattle Is one business and
to fatten them is another. For this
reason they ship their cattle to Cali
fornia. where sugar beet pulp is oh
tained in abundance. One factory is
located near the fields where the beets
are grown. The cattle are turned into
this field after the beets are harvested.
Under the fence is placed trough
which projects outside Of the fence
just enough to allow the heet pulp to
he thrown into it from the cars. The
cars run on tracks from the factory to
the field and follow the fences around
the corral. More space is thus OBJ.
tained for the beef cattle to feed. and
there is hut little waste Of fodder. In
these war days the cattlemen are
learning to conserve stock food, as the
cattle themselves are conserved for our
use.-Popular Science Monthly.

Americans. who in prewar days, de.
lighted In visiting "Shakespeare's
country" would find many changes
there now.
Quietly and unostentatiously through
the unwearying efforts of Marie Cor.
ELI, the novelist. and a few who sup.
port her artistic tastes, these last three
and half years have disclosed the
ancient mysteries of Stratford. Old
houses, with plastered walls, which
were eyesores to the visitors and resi-
dents alike. have been stripped of their
outward ugliness, to reveal the quaint
picturesque Tudor architecture Of
Shakespeare's time, Wherever it has
been possible the early appearance of
the buildings has been restored, and
the effect has been a transformation
and the restoration Of the place az
Shakespeare knew it.
The ancient "Sword Of State" which
hangs in Shakespeare's birthplace was
removed from its scabbard in August,
1914, as an official notice that England
was at war and the people say tradi-
tion forbids them to sheathe the old
sword, carried by Shakespeare's ia
ther when he was high bailif in 1869.

Once at least, since war was de-
clared. Shakespeare's old home has
given expression to its feeling Of graft
tude to Americans for the tributes they
have been privileged to pay to It from
time to time. That was when the
United States entered the war. Pres
tdant Wilson's memorable message to
the congress was proclaimed aloud.
Many Of the townfolk had almost de-

It appears there were only two Amer

War and the Churches.

One hears much nowadays about the
growing reunion Of the churches which
the war has brought about. But q
dual service which recently took place
is probably unique. Not far behind
the lines two services were held sim
ultaneously in the village church-the
one being the usual Roman Catholic
service attended by the inhabitants-
while the other was Protestant one
for battalion Of Australians "resting"
in the vicinity. The proceedings OPEN
ed by the singing Of a hymn by the
Australians to music supplied by their
own band. Then the French cure ad-
dressed his flock. after which it was
