overaIIs and Petticoats,

The bloomer idea is going out among
the French women employed in fac
tories, especially munition works, nc
cording to letter from one of the in
dustrlal centers over there, and return
has been made to the skirt that ever
has been the badge of femininity. Only
where working close to certain machin-
cry would make skirts dangerous have
they been discarded for boomers, or
In most instances, overalls. What was
taken up as Il fad, says correspond
ent, has given way TO the older and
stronger dictates of modesty. And
after work, In spite of the fact that it
has been work amid grease and dirt
of the exceptional sort-or perhaps
because of it-there is recourse to the
powder puff and the other appurten-
ances of frill that in some form or
other are synonymous with woman the
world over.

How French Forests Are Depleted

France is beginning to figure out
how to meet an anticipated shortage OF
lumber and firewOod after the war.
The destruction of forests by shell
fire and the heavy demand for lumber
for barracks and road construction
combine to make a deficit of 100000
cubic feet annually.
Beyond the range of shells, on both
sides of the front. the military woods
mems axes have drawn heavily on tim
bers, from the North sea to the Swiss
frontier. The consumption of lumber
will increase during the war Mt the
rate of 100000 cubic feet year.
and for several years after peace Is
made the demand will continue for
the repair and rebuilding of devastated
regions.
The solution of the problem is con-
sidered to be n question of transporta-
ton and of forest exploitation in the
colonies. Specialists have calculated
that French equatorial and western
Africa. Madagascar. Guinea and Indo-
China possess $4,000 square miles of
virgin timber land, which could amply
supply France and several other coun-
tries with fuel and lumber.
Stock companies, organized for
the exploitation of these resources are
already engaged in road making and
other necessary preliminary work.

MEANS SHORTENING OF LIFE
Why It Is Foolish to Worry Over Err
rors That Belong irrevocably
to the Past.

A well-knOwn practical psychologist
says: Fear confirms your weakness
of character-increasin enslaving
you to your petty Shortcomings" By
worrying over your past mistakes you
open the way for more. You bring to
you the very experiences you desire
to avoid. The little weaknesses of pc
culiarities of character which you con-
denim in yourself grow by that condem-
nation. They thrive on recognition.
They are fed and kept alive by the at
tention you bestow upon them. You give
them large place In your conscious
ness and they begin to assume large
influence upon your life-a much larg.
er influence than they deserve.
If you will turn your thoughts away
from these shortcomings, stop trying
to judge yourself too exclusively by in
tellect alone, open wide the door to
faith and hope and love and courage
and confidence. fix your attention on
those qualities which represent the op.
posite of your weaknesses, you will be-
gin to come out from under your OBJ.
session and enter the path to freedom.

How Lisplna Can BE Cured.

Lisping and stammering, according
to Popular Science Monthly, are sep
arate imperfections of speech, which
require entirely different treatment.
Lispers, for instance, can be cured
In short time by tongue and palate
gymnastics. They 'lithp" simply be-
cause they do not work their tongue
and palate properly. BY making the
child speak before n mirror, however.
the teacher can correct these mis-
tnkes.
Stammerng Is nervous disorder
which cannot be cured so easily. The
pupil involuntarily applies too much
force at certain parts of the vocal or
gans, causing the suffering and a
sputtering with which we all are IA.

worked parts by distributing the ener.

nouncing certain flowing sounds In

THE UTILITIES COMMISSIONER

We notice that some of the state
papers are heaping curses upon Gov.
ernor Gunter for appointing Ex-Sena-
tor l.. ]. Williams member of the
Public Utilities Commission to sue
coed Commissioner Aylesworth, re-
signed.
1t is an old saying that a man is
best known in the community in
which he lives, and this is true of
Mr.. Williams. Although the Obser-
yer is opposed to him in politics, yet
justice prompts us to remark that
none is held higher in the estima-
ton of his townsmen than Mr.. Will
iams. His word among all classes is
held as good as his bond, and his
public record is above reproach.
Unless our estimation of the man
goes awry, Mr.. Williams will conduct
his office with honor to himself and
will deal honestly and fairly with all
questions coming before him.

Antiquity Of Jerusalem.

The wonderful antiquity of Jerusa.
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to so years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, it was
thought that Jerusalem was of little
Importance as city until it became
the City of David" king of Israel.
But with the discovery of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the sa-
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem to
the Pharaoh of Egypt. dating from the
fifteenth century b. C. The name of
this king of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba,
or, as some scholars read the cuner
form, Abd-aadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseeching him to send SOL
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.

MEDIATION IN war
Roman Popes, From Earliest
Time Deemed 1t Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 400, Whsn
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.

From the earliest time Of papacy,
popes, us the religious heads Of the
Catholic church, have considered it
their task to intercede as mediators
in temporal disputes, observes a his
torian. Following are few instances:
AS early as 400. when Alaric 1 de-
clared he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange peace favorable to
him, s. Innocent 1 went with an EN-
bassy of the Romans to Emperor Hon
erius, at Ravenna, to try, If possible,
to make peace with him and the Goths,
but failed in his endeavors to bring
about peace. More successful was
on the occasion of the invasion of Italy
by the Lombards. Owing to his friend
ship with the Lombardian queen Theu-
dulinda, he actually mediated a favor
able peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by Attila the venerable
bishop of Rome, Leo 1.-The first of the
great popes-by personal encounter
with the king of the Huns, prevented
him from marching upon Rome. He

Mantua, obtaining from him the prom
Use that he would withdraw from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.
This pope also succeeded in obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants of
Rome. When in 455 the city was cap
tured by the Vandals under Geneseric,
the "scOurge of Cod" Leo's interces-
sion obtained promise that the city
should not be injured and the lives of
the inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth,
who from 1884 to 1342 occupied the
holy see, was as unsuccessful as a
mediator as the present supreme pom
tiff. At that time Charles Nv of France
had died without leaving an heir, and
when his cousin, Philip vi, put the
crown on his head, his right to do so
was contested by Edward III of Eng
land. Benedict XII, who wanted to
mediate, was not listened to, and there
ensued hostilities lasting, with some
Interruptions, for hundred years.
The popes nsediated successfully be-
tween Christian opponents in cases
where it was important to unite them
in the common cause of Christianity
against Turkey.

WHY
Transatlantic FLYING Will
Never Be Easy

In a paper read before the Institu-
ton of Engineers and Shipbuilders in
Scotland L. Desbleds explains some OF
the advantages and difficulties OF
transatlantic flying. With regard to
the former, the carrying of the mails
In a quarter Of the time at present
needed for the voyage between Amer
lea and Britain would. in the authors
opinion, be of immense benefit, as ne
considers that the correspondence OF
a country may be taken as measure
of its commerce with other natioVs
and the accelerated rate of exchangSs
of correspondence would react upon
commerce and shipping.
Coming to the problem Of carrying
mails across the Atlantic. Mr.. Des-
bleds considers that existing knowl-
edge Of airplane construction and pro-
polling machinery only allows Of such
flights by reducing the strength Of
the machines employed to far below
that of the airplanes now In use; con-
sequently those undertaking the pas
sage would run grave risks of coming
to grief on the way. Some particulars
of an airplane for flying the Atlantic
are given in the paper. the proposed
machine having a weight by itself of
about four tons. which is doubled by
