help the kaiser-by trying to shield sackers from
round-ups. 80
OBSTACLES,

Progress is made because of obstacles or in

Resistance increases persistence; the urge in
man is to surge ahead.
Obstacles are not hndrance but further

LOYALTY OF WOMEN

A French soldier killed his wife when she
served his coffee in cup which was the kaser's
picture What really melted him to murder was
her intimacy with German officers while he was
at the front.
More awful than HUN frightfulness, more
dreaded than Teuton barbarity are incidents like
these, for their deliberateness blasts forever the
sufferers faith in humankind, like a breath of
flame from hell.
The men in enches.yvallowing in filth, endur-
ing prvaton and facing death are really, in the
final analysis, fighting for WOMAN.
What soldier doesn't treasure picture, letter
or other token of someone who babe him God
speed with trembling tones, quivering lips and
mist-clouded smiling eyes, 20
What boy doesn't charge Gross No Mans Land
with the grim determination that his mother, his
wife, his sweetheart will never hear the dread
tread of the bestial HUN hordes?
" What Italian Frenchman, Belgian, British and
Yank hasn't promised someonetto acquit himself

Like primal passion, it runs through our race
the curio-collectng mania.

dominates; though the endlesssanique and curl

others too.
With some, the streak tends toward weapons
and armor; others favor massive, uncomfortable
furniture from ages past and points wide
spread apart.
Again., it has. form as "choice" china, rare

Painful Dental Work.

In the time OF Nero there were pro-

lost teeth with, artificial ones made
of sycamore wood, which were fas-
tened to their natural neighbors with
gold wire. A gold plate with seyera.
teeth attached has been found in an
Etruscan tomb. But those dentists
knew nothing Of the art of excavating

came too painful they removed it, not
by pulling it but by prying il out in

BY the appeal to prisoners not to give

Mr.. Il. z. Ant, well-knOwn citizen

thought he has gone so far as to enlist
the aid of his friends and relatives
in carrying food Enough edlbles 10
last all winter were found at the Ant
home.

cCpt that some unseen force-eompelled
him to store the food away, rs he
would need it later on. He denies
vigorously that he intended to hold II
for higher prices. His case is being
considered by the food administra-

Aerial compasses

Many difficulties had to be over
come in the production of satisfac-

among these was that Of neutrallzing
the magnetism Of the engine (and in
particular the magneto), and Of pre-.

which caused the card or dial inside
the compass to swing in direction
quite Independent Of north when the
airplane was banking, on turn. How
ever, a truly excellent compass is now
