EPIGRAM THAT HAS FORCE
Terse Statement as to Value of Man
in the Worlds Commercial
Operations.

There is a moral for all who will
seek it in the story of Minnesota
banker, who has made a success of
life notwithstanding the handicap that
both legs, his left arm and the fingers
of his right hand are missing. His
career was appropriately reviewed in
Garry On, a magazine published in the
interest of the reconstruction of dis
abled soldiers and sailors.
The essence of this mans success
is contained in his whimsical state
ment of his philosophy. ''From his
neck down." he says, ga man is worth
about dollar and a half day; from
his neck up he may be worth hun
dred thousand dollars a year." The
facts of this statement apply as fore
ibly to a man with all his limbs as
to a cripple. They constitute the
chief reason why vocational education
is increasing in popularity and why
child labor and compulsory education
laws are being made increasingly Sc
we're.
It is a fortunate epigram which has
been made by this cripple of peace
for the benefit of the cripples Of
war. The part of the man "frOm the
neck up knows no limitations except
self-imposed Ones.-POrtland Ore

Emotions and the Eye.

The thing we look at straightest and
most steadily is the eye of the man or
woman who talks to us. And no emo
ton changes the glistening of that eye.
Yet, so unobservant are we all, espe-
cially descriptive novelists, that eyes,
in fiction, always flash, and no doubt
will always flash, under the stress of
any kind of rage. The assassin Of the
surgeon in Paris the other day went
to his deed, as we read in the f1cti-
tious part of the report Of witness,
with eyes that flashed according to
custom. Now the human eye has two
places for fiashing-one in the clear
pupil, showing one point of light or
more according to the light or lights
reflected; the other in the white.
Neither of these brightnesses depends
upon the mind.

Pharaoh's Serpent's Egg Trick.

One of the most amusing tricks IN
fireworks is the serpent's egg trick,
where little pellet when lighted turns
into horrible snake, many, many
times the size of the pellet. How awe
inspiring it is to the youngsters Most
people have no idea what in the world
causes the snake to appear. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. Mercury sulpho-
cyanid burns with a voluminous ash.
The little pellet is nothing more than
some mercury sulphocyanid. The heat
causes the ash to move off so quickly
from the burning pellet that it writhes
and distorts itself into the shape of a
miniature snake.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June Z (By Associated
Press when the American troops
were entering the line at Veuilly.La-
Peterie, where they fought such a
gallant battle, they decorated their
steel helmets with poppies from the

American officer told his French COM

soldiers going into battle.
Almost as soon as the Americans
arrived at their position they were
called upon to receive the shock OF a
German assault, and, according to the
French, displayed magnificent quail.
ties of tenacity and bravery. The
American machine gunners caused
enormous losses in the ranks OF the
enemy and by their well sustained fire
greatly aided in defeating the attack.
When the French counterattacked
the enemy. the Americans again as
sisted until what remained OF the
German column retreated in disorder.

Slight changes in the regulations un-

ance with a resolution adopted at a
recent meeting in Washington OF the

The proposals have been published,
and a period OF three months is al
lowed during which the changes may
be examined and considered before
final adoption. The regulations as
finally adopted will become effective
on or after September l. 1918.
Owing to the continued need of pro-

BOY SO PER CENT BAD
ADMITS LOVE FOR MOTHER

CLEVELAND. Ohio, June s.-The

per cent bad, so he was rejected.

ing a tour OF the largest cities of

boy in the United States, When they
find him they are going to take him
to Chicago and try to reform him.
After a couple Of days search in
Cleveland, a boy, name not given,
was brought in for examination. He
is fifteen years old, associates with
thieves, bets on prize fights, drinks
whiskey, CANDLES. uses tobacco,
plays pool, hops" freight trains,
roams the streets nights, uses vile
and obscene language. ran away from
school, has been at the states farm

arrested three times, was chased by
policemen many times more, says
Cleveland is a small burg" and
"deader'n a door nail," calls reform
schools pans" and can't talk two
minutes in succession without swear
ing.
But he Is sixty-nine per cent bad
for he admitted that he worked fol
three months at one time and con
fessed that he loved his mother and
would write to her IL he knew where
to reach her. Still, with so many
points taken from his record as the
country's worst boy. he still leads
for badness" and may prove that
there is no 100 per cent bad boy,
and that sixty-nine per cent is the
limit.

NO COUNTER DRIVE
THIS YEAR, BELIEF
Washington Thinks FoCh Un-
able to Undertake Offensive
Without ReinforCementS

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Demon-
strations in force against new por-
tiOns OF the western front are looked
for by war department officials, now
that the third German drive has been
slowed down TO struggle for i'm
prOyement of local positions west and
south OF Soissons. II is regarded as
entirely possible that increased activ-
ity in front OF the American sector,
northwest of Toul, may indicate an
impending blow there.
Sought to Draw Reserves
The conclusion is based on the
opinion by some officers that the
drive was designed TO draw off re-
serves from the Amiens and Flanders
sectors. An attack on the American
sector in such strength as to drive the
line back, ii is argued, might hamper
General Foch in his employment of
American units to support mis- lines
in Picardy, Flanders and the Aisne
regions.
Expect Great Battle
Observers here believe the great
battle is certain TO be fought out on
the original sector selected by the
Germans for their supreme effort.
They believe also that General Foch
will not be in a position TO wrest the
initiative from the enemy until Amer
lean strength has become available TO
him in great force. They therefore
do not look for any extensive counter
offensive for months TO come, posi-
bly, not before fall, If even then.
May Surpass Foch
The critical battle, the final Ger
man effort TO break through to the
channel coast, will be fought, officers
yield an inch of ground, and it did
himself able to turn the tables on the
enemy and TO begin what they are
certain will be march to Berlin, If
complete victory cannot be won short
OF that goal
OutauesSed German Staff
Officers regard the fact that no new
blow has been struck at the Amicns
front as conclusive evidence that Gen
eral Foch outguessed his opponent
when he determined to let the Aisnt
front stand on its own strnegth, ever
at the cost of much territory over
run by the enemy, until he could as
semble additional units from scattered
points along the line beyond Rheims
The very success OF the Germans in
pressing on to the banks of the Marne,
it was argued. meant that Foch was
resolved not TO weaken his lines TO
the north.
Doubled Original Strength
Another indication that the French
stratcgists have outguessed the Ger.
man general staff is seen in the fact
that the original strength used by the
crown prince in the Aisnc drive was
put at % divisions. He has since
employed in this theatre double that
number. Officers point to this fact
as evidence that the German hope was
that FoCh would bring up his northern
reserves TO hold the Aisne front, while
the German reserve was held ready
to take instant advantage of its short,
er line to sweep down again on the
Amiens sector. The territory yielded
by the French in retiring to the
Marne eventually absorbed most OF
this German strategic reserve and the
plan failed.

son the prospects were good for a

at least $500 carloads would be

done by the thrip (onion louse) has

the total shipments from the Laredo
