When Silence Is Golden

When you don't know, keep silence. On such occasions silence ie golden. The man who cannot control himself IS not free man. He is the sport of every wind that blows He is for some- thing when he has just talked with a man who is for 1t. He is quite as strongly against 1t after listening to one who Is against it. and will be just as ready to change again under some other persons influence. His opinion Is va!ueIess because it is never h,s own. It Is well to think carefully of sub- lect before expressing an opinion on 1t. Do not allow yourself to be influenced oy spacious reasoning. still less by talk !n which the'" is no reason. The more Important tha subject, the more leed of se.fcDnt trol -Excnange.

 ITALIANS GET BIG AUSTRIAN AIRPLANES

Headquarters Italian Army, June li.--Three of the monster type of Austrian hydroplanes recently have been brought down almost intact, and with their occupants are now behind the Italian lines. hey are called the K 211. K 3S3 and k 3SS. All of these K-type of machines are enOrOmus structures with three motors of 400 horse power, carrying three men and a thousand pounds of bombs.
 The K 3SS was the last to be cap- tured after it had made an early morning flight of observation near Venice. Crossing the Piave lines just back of Venice, the big car scattered bombs on the camps and sprayed its machine gun on the men below. But a fortunate shot from an anti-aircraft gun put hole through the motor oi the big machine. It immediately struck out to sea, but in it's wounded condition it struck the water with q crush and capsized.
 In the obscurity' the wreck for some timc without being located, but the cries for help from the drowning aviators aat last brought a rescue par ty from the Italian lines All of the operators were wounded, two of then seriously. The big machine was lowed in to the naval base whert 1t jOinteG the growing collection of trophies o war.

$l-A-YEAR MEN TO
 GET BETTER PAY

Washington. June 14.-A survey has been undertaken by the government looking to putting it's dollar-a-year volunteers on substantial salaries. These men heretofore have accepted nominal compensation under la law forbidding the government to accept services without pay.
 Reports of department heads show, it is said, that most dollar-a-year vol unteers heretofore have been paid much higher salaries than the gov ernment could afford to give, evens fl the suggestion of several department heads for $5,000 limit is adopted.
 Secretary McAdoo, who believes the nominal pay system leads to alleg- lance divided between the govern nient and private business interests already has transferred all but three or four war assistants in the treas 'ury department to salary rolls.

HATCH CHICKENS IN JUNE.

With the present price of chickens it is time to get over the erroneous idea that chickens cannot be matched during the summer and fall. Hatch chickens in June and, to avoid trouble and prevent them from getting sick, feed carefully. Be sure they get plen- ty of protein. Protein can be supplied by feeding velvet bean meal, corn meal, pea meal. peanut meal. cotton seed meal, or meat scraps. There is still time to plant plenty of corn, soy cans, cowpeas and peanuts for feed, and plan on wheat and oats to be sown in the fall for winter grazing and grain for next summer. Raise bullets for eggs next spring.

BRITISH FORBIDDEN
 TO TAKE TROPHIES

London, June 14.--No longer arc
 British Soldiers on leave seen stream
 ing out of the big London railroad
 stations with trophies of the great

 bombs and shells to decorate the

 gently put rigidly into effect. fOrbids
 the carrying off of these trophies from the battle field, and now hawk eyed military police watch the leave beats.
 But all the orders in the world and All the precautions ever invented will
 not stop souvenir hunters. And the Tommits have the craze worse than to specialize iI railway straps, hotel soap and towels and chips of granite From old castles.
 To carry the stuff home tht sol diers will try all sorts of subterfuge They will carry their souvenirs about with them from rest billets to the trenches, sometimes even refusing ! to dump it when going into action lsThey guard their treasures lik dia- mond for months and wll sacrifice little comforts that mean so much in the line in order to stow harmless ] German bomb or the fuse cap of a >shell in their sacks.
 Men have left their own rifle with the quartermaster or in some un
 authorized quarter and carried off a 1 German one in waterproof case past l the picket at the boat. Pieces Ol
 bombs and shell have been bound into
 puttees because haversacks are liable to be searched and extra pockets have teen sewn into tails of overcoats tC hide forbidden souvenirs.

 Tradition and Goud Books.
 Good books, like vell-built houses, must have tradition behind them writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like nativo trees that grow so well no' where else. The little writers--hacks, who sentimentalize to the latest order and display their plot novelties like bargains op an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ. ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-size0 authors--the very good and the prob ably enduring-are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed 1t through to conten- porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "Vanity Fair" Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in "The House of Mirth." But buck-tonature books-both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and turtles that call themselves nature boeks-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of tn" American suhconsciCusness-

FEWER BABIES IN GERMANY.

London, June 15.-The first three years of war reduced by over two mill lion the number of babies who would have been born in Germany had peace prevailed, says a report of the British local government board Some 40 per cent fewer German babies were born in 1916 than in 1913. The infant death rate, which rose to an abnormal height for a time after the outbreak of war, appears to have gradually re- turned to the pre-war rate. The food difficulties have not led to an exces- sive number of babies dying, at least up till the end of 1916. In the towns where food shortage was most acute the death rate tended to fall.
