"Steve!" she tried again. Surely
you remember Sally-and Doctor VIII,

Stiffly he turned his head on the
pillow and stared at DR.. Will. A glim-

said Are you?"

Dear Mrs Thompson-We are two
girls sixteen years old. We are con.
sidered very pretty. Some say we are
the prettiest girls In our town. We
are very popular with both boys and
girls and the boys especially. We
just learned to dance last winter and
everybody said We danced very we'll.
We went to few public dances last
spring and all the boys danced with
us.
The other night we went to a dance
and we only got to dance once or
twice. All of our friends were there
and they talked TO us and treated US
nice, but didn't dance. We had to sit
out and watch the others dance. We
got disgusted and went home.
Why do you suppose they treated US
that way?
BLUE EYES AND BROWN EYES.
You will want me to be frank, am
sure. In order to help you. Too much
popularity and flattery seems to have
gone to your heads. In order to be
really attractive 1t is necessary to be
modest. You have learned now that
in spite of your good looks and your
good dancing your old friends do not
take the same interest in you.
Both OF you are too young to go to
dances and to 90 with boys. If you
give up boys for year or two and
enjoy yourselves with girls you will
probably be well liked again when you
are old enough to accept invitations.
Do not neglect your studies when you
go back to school, because nowadays
IT is necessary for a girl to be intelli-
gent as well as pretty II she is well
liked.

three years Of age and considered real

From that day on Stephen never
took his eyes from Sally If he could
help it. 1t was not only that she
seemed a person he had never known
before but a type of woman totally
new to him--the Woman Supreme, the

rifle or revolver before it wears out?"
1t is impossible for anyone to SAY
just. how long a firearm will last be-
cause it is impossible 10 tell before
hand what kind of care it is going to
get and the care it receives makes all
the difference between inaccuracy be-
tween a few hundred shots and life
time of faithful service.
Assuming that they are cleaned
carefully and consistently a good shot
gun will show practically no falling off
in pattern or pentration for probably
well over a hundred thousand shots. A
22-caliber rifle and a revolver are both
good for thirty thousand or forty
thousand shots. A high power rifle is
good for about three thousand TO five
thousand shots. usually the higher the
velocity the shorter the life of the
barrel.
Judging from these facts it would
appear that the higher the pressure de-
veloped by the explosion the more
wear on the barrel, for the shotgun
| develops the least pressure and the
high power rifle the most.
A rather interesting side light on
this question of barrel life is deter
mination of the actual length of time
to which a good shotgun barrel is sub
jected 10 the force and burning effect
/ of the powder charge during its life
time. If hundred thousand shots are
/ fired from a shotgun the inside of the
/ barrel is actually exposed to the flame
/ of the powder charge for about fouY
minutes.

The workers in one great Ameri-
can shipyard have voted to send the
first ship built in that yard down
the ways five days ahead of the
date scheduled by the contractors.
The yard is the Shaw hatcher
yard on the Pacific coast. The first
ship was to have been launched on
April Is. In mass meeting at
the yards at which H. L. Hughes,
one of the speakers being toured
by the speaking division of the De-
partment of Labor, addressed the
men during lunch hour, a motion
was made that the ship be sent
into the water five days ahead of
time. The motion was adopted
unanimously with cheers.
The Speakers Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor, with headquar-
tiers in Washington, is now in full
swing and the twelve trade union
speakers who are at work under the
direction of the Bureau are sending
in glowing reports of their success
in securing pledges of unqualified
support of the Government and the
President in the prosecution of the
war from meetings of labor men in
various parts of the country. f.. p.

Whereas, The Imperial German

of the laws of international war;
fare and its inhuman and barbarian
acts caused our President by act of

war exists between the United
States and Imperial Germany; there

Resolved, That the members of
the American Federation of Labor
of Florida, in mass meeting assem-
bled, go on record today, as in the
past, and do still stand firmly up
holding and endorsing our President,
Woodrow Wilson, and our Govern
ment; and be it further
Resolved, That organized labor
of Florida will and does give it's
undivided support to our President
and to our Government in any and
all ways in unfolding the honor and
integrity of our beloved country;
and be it further
Resolved, That we, the organized
workers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, representing organ
lied men and women of all crafts
pledge ourselves, each man and wo-
man individually and collectively, to
stand shoulder to shoulder in this
crisis in supporting our Government
through sunshine and storm, in any
capacity in which we may be called
upon to serve; to do, to die, if need
be, so that peace and harmony may
prevail and that democracy shall
finally rest as a true fact upon all

WE ARE ALL
DRAFTED FOR
j. s. SERVICE

In this time Of national peril,
when in defense of our rights and
liberties we as a nation have been
forced to enter the war against the
German military autocracy, we are
all drafted for service.
Each and every one of US owes
and must perform some patriotic
work and duty in support of our
country. Some Of us are drafted
for service in the army OF navy
and are called upon to risk our
lives in battle, striving to prevent
our nome land from beng subjected
to the horrors of an invading fee.
The success of our forces who go
over seas will depend very largely
upon the support we render them
here at home. We must build ships
to take them over. We must pro-
duce arms, munitions and supplies
We must produce food supplies and
conserve them so that our over
seas forces and our allies may be
fed. In short, we must all work
for the war. The war is the chief
business concern of each and every
one of us and we are all drafted
for service.
If we are slackers in any way we
help the enemy to kill our own men.
II any of our relatives or friends
are killed because we have withheld
the needed equipment o. supplies,
then their blood will be on the hands
of those of us who have withheld
our support. We cannot escape
our responsibility to those who are
offering their lives for our protec-
ton. We must labor to produce
the things that are needed and we
must curtail our own consumption in
order that we may the better sup
ply our soldiers and our allies.
To prosecute the war with full
national strength the Government
must have first call for labor and
materials for war purposes. Every
working man is drafted for service
to do his part in producing war
goods or in supporting war produc-
ers. He is also drafted for service
in economizing and saving in every
possible way so as to lessen his own
competition against our own Gov
eminent for labor and materials.
The more unnecessary things are
consumed the greater the demand
for labor and materials to reproduce
them, and the less labor and ma
terials are available to the Govern
ment to prosecute the war. 1t is
