ToLSToY'S PROPHECY.

Tolstoy's prediction of the great
war which has been devastating Eu-
rope was remarkably accurate fore
cast. In conclusion he prophesied
yhat "the end Of the great calamity
will make new political era for the
old world. There will be left no en-
pires or kingdoms, but the world will
form federation of the United
States Of nations. There will remain
only four great giants the Anglo
Saxons, the Latins, the Slays and the
Mongolians."

Though few natives of India, COM
paratively speaking, are rich enough
to buy talking machines, it is COM
mon for companies or individuals to
tour the country giving concerts with
the machines. Before the war rec
ords in the native language were-of
course made in Germany, but now
they are produced only in India.

A War Savings Society back

A War Savings Society back
of each soldier. a company OF
savers and doors at home
spreading Americanism and
cementing the Nation together
so that she soldier at the front
may know he is supported, and
that his loved ones at home may
he free from the treacherous
work of the German spy and
propagandist, is the chief OBJ
iect of the War Savings cam
paign.
Making America safe from
the inside is as truly necessary
as fighting our battles in France.
With 100000 War Savings So
cieties in America meeting
regularly to discuss our coun-
try's needs, America will be
safe from any attempt to Rus-
sianize it. The Huns carefully
laid plan did not work because
he did not know that the old
spirit of 1776 was still the prize
possession of every man, woman
and child of America. He did
not figure that the spirit OF
patriotism and love of freedom
once aroused would sweep
everything before it.
America, the young giant
nation, has just awakened. not
knowing it's own power but
tense in every muscle and
earnest IN every thought, and
above all intensively active. The
nation which loved peace now
thinks only of War. Americas
unlimited power may be used
on the battle front to defeat the
enemy while War Savings So.
cieties will take care of the home
defenses.
The kaiser did not figure on
the fact that even his own sub
jects accustomed to Obeying his
merest wish if it took their lives
would change and become free
men after associating with the
people of America for a few
years, and would fail to rise and
cause a social revolution in
America when he called on
them to do so.
That the kaiser S hate is deep
for the English, there is no
doubt. He is showing it now.
That he hates the Americans,
he will soon show. But of all
his hates, his fercest must be
for his ex.subjects in America
who have not carried out his
plans which he so carefully laid.
And let it be said that it will
ever be to their credit and the
credit of their posterity that
they remain loyal to their adopt
ed country.
The War Savings Societies
are going to be a factor which
will guarantee to the boys at the
front that a solid country al
home is doing everything within
the power of human beings tc
support and supply their every
need.

These hats are distinctly youthful
in design-the breezy young American
is written in their smart lines and
simple construction. Most of the hats
of this character are made Of silk or
satin-satin is, in fact, in the ascen-
dent-but they may be made of other
fabrics, as broadcloth, duvetyn, velvet,
and occasionally fur fabrics, or other
of the soft and very pliable materials
which are used in coats and frocks.
For the young woman at school a more
appropriate little sgroup could hardly
be assembled than the four models
shown above.
AT the top a sprightly small hat Is
made of satin. 1t has soft crown
and narrow brim plated and turned

colored wooden beads that milliners
have SO often found place for on

across the front.

The debutante ana her youthful
friends are entitled to q few of the
keen joys of life, even in war times.
With sweethearts overseas, or In
training camps, and days filled with
war work and letter writing, she GER
tainly earns the heart-healing joy that
is to be gathered from a new party
frock. And the party frock is easier
to make at the home than other frocks,
excepting, of course, house dresses; 1t
is for this reason not an extravaganza
in war times.
A very pretty model is illustrated
here of frock that ought to inspire
any girl with a desire to make it for
herself. Crepe georgette, plain and
printed, little taffeta silk and bit
of embroidery in silk make up its an
alysis so far as materials are con-
cerned. All the sewing including the
long-stitch embroidery, is simple
enough. There is an underslip of thin
silk to begin with, with a baby waist
which takes the place of a corset
cover. The skirt of the frock is of

ENGLAND Levied First Income Tax.

The first income tax imposed in Eng
land was provided for in an act of par
lament 400 years ago to enable the
king to enter on a war with France.
In 1893 Mr.. Pitt proposed and carried,
after great opposition, a tax on In
comes "as an aid to the prosecution
of the war" against the same country.
This law was repealed in 1916, but in
1S42 Sir Robert Peel's income tax bill
was passed. The tax was doubled in
the Crimean war, and has often been
increased to provide revenues for mil
itary operations. The United States
imposed an income tax in 1868 to carry
on the Civil war, in the same manner
that congress passed the latest meas
ure taxing incomes in the. United
States to assist in financing the strug-
gle against Germany.

REWARDS FOR KIND DEEDS
Instances That Prove Inoratitude Is
Not Always the Strongest Trait
of Human Nature.

The parson who breaches short SER
mons certainly deserves recognition,
but whether he deserves SO handsome
a reward for his brevity as sixty fat
acres of land is moot point. Any
how, that is what the pastor OF an
Indiana church received some time
ago from one of the flock.
Some years ago an aged lady took
lodgings in a modest house at Parsons
Green, Fulham, where she eventually
died. says London Tit-Bits. When her
will was read it was found that she
had made her landlord-a young mar
ried man-her sole executor, and left
her property to his wife. 1t turned
out to be we'll over thousand pounds,
and it was an because the young
couple had shown kindly attention"
Just before the world war Tas-

from a gathered waistline, and the
low-necked bodice is Of taffeta, SILK
embroidered in motifs at each side. 1t
slips over a chemisette of lace with
a collar at the back that disappears
under the bodice-a very new and
pleasing feature that adds to the be-
comingness and appropriateness Of the
frOck.
An oversl1irt of wide lace falls to
the hem of the crepe skirt and is par
TALLY covered with an overdrape OF
lovely printed crepe georgette. 1t will
be noticed that the skirt is quite long
and the neck only moderately low. Ii
there is one thing more than another
that returning conquering heroes Will
admire in the American girls they are,
prepared to adore it will be pretty
modesty in dress. They will come
back prepared to make comparisons.
They are already convinced that the
Americans are the prettiest and sweet

must see to it that they don't change

like these are made in colors to match

alone there were tlrirty-three attacks
on German airdromes, nineteen Of
which were directed against two of
them which had become particularly
obnoxious as hives of aerial wasps.
Many of the night raids have been
very effective. Over one airdrome
five tons of bombs were dropped, sew
en- direct hits on hangers were made
and a fire was started. On another
raid eight tons of bombs were dropped
and several hangers completely burned
out and the airdrome covered with
large holes.
