APPEALED TO GIRLS VANITY
Department. Store Clerk Proved That
He Had Some Little knowledge
of Human Nature.

Among nOnesSential citizens, a place
fuust be given to the summer girl who
does all her swimming on the beach,
in siiken toys which never could stand
the cruel ocean waves. Whether this
type is still In existence or not is a
question, but at any rate CONVERSE
ten overheard recently in a depart
ment store gives ground for suspicion.
The ambitious clerk was selling a
high-priced bathing suit and was man.
aging tin. operation in a masterful way.
She finally pinned her victim, a fluffy
girl, down to choice between two /;
one was blue with green trimmings,
tIle other purple with white.
DO you ever have photos taken In
your bathing sult?" asked the clerk.
"Why, sometimes" said the, girl,
mystified.
"Well," said the inspired clerk, ''the
reason 1 ask is because often girls
bave said that they want suits with
contrasting cOlors because they show
up so much better In the pictures.
That's why you might like this pur-
pie with the white border better than
the other, which wouldn't show up
nearly so well. didn't know whether
you had thought about It or not, but
often girls do have their pictures taken
on the beach, you know."-Indianapol

Service Appreciated.

About a week ago an employe
of the International Drug Store
stole from the stock and carried
over the line a lot of fancy ar

perfumes, soaps, ETC., and s

and suspecting the thief Mr.
Scherb, the proprietor, wen'
over to the other town and laio
the case before Chief of Police
Felipe Romero. The police chief
gave the matter his immediate
attention, and succeeded very
shortly in locating the thief and
recovering the plumber, which
was delivered TO the rightfu'
owner at once. Even to the last
comb everything was returned

of Chief Romero, declares Mr.

Birds as Rarometers.

Birds are excellent barometers. A
number of our ,birds-swans, wild
duck, coots, moorhens and others
build their nests either on the banks
IF river or floating on its surface at
-ached to the reeds or water grasses.
These birds, it is said, never by chance
ret caught by floods, and if you see a
swans nest, say. foot above the river
level you may be sure that during the
next few weeks there will not be rain
enough to raise the river above that
height. The common robin knows a
great deal about forthcoming weather.
If he sings in the morning it is a GER
tain sign of bad weather.

ALWAYS LAND UF TROUBLE
3arbaric Invasion and Czarisn Have
Nodded Russian History, to Peo-
Piles Sorrow.

The backwardness of the Russians
can he pretty adequately accounted for
Ivy three historical factors There Is,
first, the Mongol yoke which rested
upon them for nearly two and half
centuries. During the wonderful thir-
teenth and fouNeenth centuries. while
England was establishing her pariia-
nent and democratic models were be-
ing worked out in the free self-govern-
ing city states of Italy and the low
countries, the Russians lay fiattened
Under an alien Asiatic despotism. By
the time they had rid themselves Of
the Mongols all legal rights Of individ-
uals, local communities and social
classes had disappeared, leaving the
power Of the cars unlimited.
In the second place, for a long time
after the Muscovites had freed them..
selves from the Mongols, their settle
ments in the rich treelesS steppes to
the south of them-the famous "black
sOil' destined to become the granary
Of Russia and, indeed. of Europe
We're exposed to raids by the nOmad
Tartars hemming them on the east
and south. Until the days Of Peter
the Great fhe Russians were for the
most part confined to the less fertile
forested region of the North, where
they were safe from the incursions of
the nomads. Let one imagine how our
economic development would have suf-
fered had our ancestors been confined
to the wooded region of the upper
Ohio and the Great Lakes because the
fertile prairies from Indiana to the
Rocky mountains lay open to the raids
of barbarian horsemen yelling up
from the great populated area in the
Southwest!
Then there was the Romanoff autoc-
racy, which in Shakespeare'sN day
crushed the bulk of the people down
into serfdom--which later became .sla.
very-and kept them there for two
and a half centuries.-Edward Ais
worth Ross in Asia Magazine.

Something Like a eeardl

Mistakes of military signalers are
sometimes amusing. A German pris-
oner escaped from an internment camp,
and to facilitate recapture a descrip-
ton of the man was circulated. The
description contained succession of
sibilant sounds, which rendered its re-
ception by telephone somewhat difn-
cult. One signaler, after struggling val
iantly with the prisoners name, ap-
pearance, etc, finished the message
with ''height 5 foot all beard and
moustache." The possibility Of s.
fooG-6 beard wandering about on it's
lonesome was Questioned, with the re-
suit that the following correction was
cilculated-"Please read small for

A group of business men met on
street corner in a certain city and
were discussing the progress that has
been made by the allied forces on the
