WILL KNIT IN KHAKI LATER
Pretty Girl Working in Blue to First
Try on Herself She Advises
lnquisitiye Commuter.

On Long Island suburban train a
marvelously pretty blonde girl lowered
exquisite golden lashes over large
blu. eyes while sue worked knitting
needles over some sky blue yarn,
muses. the New York World.
An elderly male commuter. one who
had sporty touch of gold color to his
morning attire. leaned over from a
scat on the other side of the aisle and
said In all respectfulncss:
MY dear child, they couldn't pos.
sibly wear anything OF that color-sky
blue, you know. You should knit in
brown-Rhaki color, may l suggest"
She took no offense.
"Of course" the girl answered, with
out looking up from her work, but
I'm just learning knitting and I'd ex-
plain to you about some Of these
stitches If you could possibly under.
stand. The idea Is that I'm first knit
ing something that I'll try on myself.
Then, sir. If there Is not too much
knottery to my knitting I'll go to work
in khaki for--for all the soldiers"

Women 10 Jockeys.

Since jockeys from the race courses
in England have gone, almost to a
man. to the firing line, women have
progressed themselves as eager to take
their places. Some already are trained
for the purpose, among them not a
few who. In more prosperous and less
belligerent days. rode to hounds over
English fields and meadows. Many Of
these, confident In their riding ability
and skill. have petitioned the stewards
of England's governing Jockey club

jockeys licenses. Recent reports bore

giving the petition serious considera-

BUILD SHIP IN FIVE MONTHS
Others Of British Standardized Type
to Be Turned Out In About
Sixteen Weeks Time.

The first OF the standardized msr-
chant ships built to order for the Brit
ish government recently went through
successful trials of very exhaustive
character, says the Scientific Alneri-
can. The type has been designed to
provide a good cargo-carrier. In the
shortest time. and with the least ex-
penditure of material. The keel of
this trial ship was laid last February,
and In less than six months the ship
was completed, loaded and ready for
trial.
The standardized vessels. which are
Of 5000 tons capacity. are built In two
types-one a single-deck for grain and
the other a two-deck ship for general
cargo. 1t Is also intended to build two
similar types. each Of 5000 and 5000
tons carrying capacity. Not only the
hulls but the engines are standardized.
They have extra large hatchways to
facilitate quick loading and discharg-
ing-a most important feature. The
first vessel was built In five months
time, and 1t Is expected that future
~ vessels will be turned out in from
four to four-and-one-half months

GLORY OF ART STILL LIVES

One great human interest which

fierce shocks and bewildering changes
Of the times. Art thrills to every i'm
pulse that stirs the heart and soul Of

force. Its compass and Its chart.
Painters still seek and now and
again find the very soul of natures

cold marble into the image of life and

TO COOPERATE IN RESEARCH
British Plan on Method Of Bringing
About Best Possible Results fer
Various Industries.

Realizing that many Industrial firms
are barred from the benefits Of scien-
tine research into their particular
lines Of activity by the great cost. re-
ports Consul Franklin ID. Hale. Hud-
dersneld, England, the Committee of
the Privy Council for Scientific and In
dustrial Research proposes the intro
duction Of the cooperative idea. In
this way firm that Is unable to bear
the entire expense of research could
contribute to the cost and share In
the benefits accruing to an Industry
AZ whole. 1t Is planned to establish.
trade research associations In England
to be formed as needed for each In
dustry or group Of Industries, and
aided by certain funds which the com
mittee has in charge. One association
Is about to be organized for the cot
ton industry. and others will be FORM
ed as soon as possible for the wool,
fax, oil. and Photographic Industries.
The work that has already been ac-
complished through the committees
efforts. according to Mr.. Hale. Includes
the discovery of three kinds Of optical
glass, the Investigation Of light alloys
for use in aircraft, and the production
Of new hard porcelain from purely
British raw material Researches into
the recovery Of tin are expected to
save that industry a very large
amount each year.

The Serious Side,

The summer Is past, the harvest at
its end. What have you to show for
your work? The days speed quickly,
and "going to do it tomorrow" does
not get deeds done. "Work today"
do, 1t now" are trlte notices, but use
full admonition.
Cloudy and chilly days come occa-
sionally, reminding one that another
season Is at its close. What have you
gained from your summer days? Is
your body stronger, your mind fuller
Of stored knowledge, your soul grown
to wider appreciation Of the true
things of life? Are you more human,
more charitable? Have you a better
understanding Of the rights and needs
Of men? What memories have you
stored up for future reflection during
the long winter nights?
Recreation and entertainment have
their rightful place in life, but serious
thought must fill the mind or one will
not grow. Not to advance means de-
cay, death. To be ever growing is a
necessity through life. But to ad-
vance, time must be given to the high
er things in life. To what end are
you speeding? What are your aims,
your purposes ?-Milwaukee Journal.

Lafayette Flying Corps.

Considerable confusion exists In the
minds of many persons about the diff
ference between the Lafayette Esca.
drille and the Lafayette Flying corps.
This famous aeronautic body was
the Section d'Avlation of the Legion
Etrangere in the early days Of the
war. To mark the number Of Ameri-
cans who were sharing the dangers and
victories the name was changed to the
Franco-American Flying corps. But as
the United States was not then at war
with Germany complaint was made
that this was a breach Of neutrality.
To avoid giving offense the name
was changed to the Lafayette Flying
corps, which is the present official
designation.
