WAR HAS PURGED
 DANCING OF HUGS

Heart to heart" dancing-redol- ent of the Barbary coast-has been purged by the god of war-Old Man to Louis H. Chalif, who formerly danced for the recent Czar Nicholas. Chalif is an inter- pretative dancer who has found the profession lucrative enough to build a ten-story studio building opposite Carnegie hall devoted to highbrow Terpsichorean endeavor.
 "The bunng hug, the greasy wig gle and other barnyard dances will never be revived" said Chalif. "The true spirit of the dance has recieved an impetus by the sobering thought of war on the people. The trend will be upward. American dances were becoming vulgar. The catch as catch can steps of the cabarets would eventually have killed dancing.

SARAH BERNHARD
 TELLS OF FRENCH ARMY MORALS

Writing in an American magazine on the American soldier in France, Mime Sarah Bernhardt, speaking of the morality problem, says:
 cover there it was a question which became paramount in military organization. By strict army regu- lation it has been impossible for any femme de guerre' to even see a soldier in camp. For miles behind the lines such women are looked out for, turned back, or imprisoned. There is no delicacy expressed among army officers about the treatment of these women, either. They are recognized as enemies to the moral purpose of the war.
 "The wonderful moral attention which is silently given by distin- guished women in Europe to the care of the soldier on furlough is one of the most remarkable testimonials to the sort of obligation women have undertaken to sustain the moral standards of the allied armies.
 Millions of women in the United States have instinctively adopted this duty of moral influence upon the American soldier. They are organ ized in all cities, all states, bound to- gether by mutual understanding to defend their men from other dan gers of war than those of shot and she'll Every woman knows that the heart of her man must be kept sweet and warm against this savagery and horror of his new environment, and she is planning to keep her presence and her influence always near him in the trenches.
 "I have read so many plans con- ceived by American women to ac- complish this, to remain always at the side of the men at the front, that I realize how strong the tie is between the grat moral purpose of this war and the moral purpose of these women who are in sympathy with it. They will find great army of sisterhood waiting to help them in France.

WHAT IS MONTENEGRO?

Montenegro is a small independent country in Southern Europe, area about 5000 square miles and border ing partly on the Adriatic sea. It is an hereditary monarchy, the present king being Nicholas l. It is very mountainous country, the Italian name of Montenegro signifying black mountains, as does also the Turkish name Karadog, but the mountains are not black and the Montenegrins are brave mountaineers, poor, in- dustrious and patriotic. At the be- ginning of the present war Mont"- negro took part with the Allies and later it was overrun by the Germans and Austrians and is still held by them.

THE OPIUM HABIT

There are three different forms of taking opium. Some people, for example the Turks, eat it; others, like the Chinese, smoke it, while the inhabitants of more civilized countries usaully drinking it as laud- anum. The drug is obtained from the unripe fruit of the common white poppy. Incisions are made in the heads of this plant, from which creamy juice exudes, hardening on it's exposure to the air. This is scraped off and made up into small cakes, in which form it is sold. The confirmed opium eater or smoker reduces himself to an indescribably wretched state of mind and body, and very seldom lives to be forty if the practice has been acquired at an early period in life.

vACC|NES AND
 SERUMS 10 BE
 TESTED BY us.

In order that there may be no doubt of the effectiveness of the serums and vaccines most in use both in the military forces and in civil life, the United States Public Health Service is now making tests of samples from every lot of these products made by the various manu- lecturers. The tests are made at the hygienic laboratory in Washing ton before placed on the market for sale in interstate traffic.
 The seriousness and prevalence of pneumonia and meningitis at the present time make it of the greatest importance that the reliability of any individual does of the serums be guaranteed As rapidly as possible the Public Health Service has been determining upon standards for the different serums and vaccines used in preventing disease, and where suffi- ciently accurate standards could be found it has held the manufacturers up to them. Tests for reliability are now made in the case of serums and vaccines used in pneumonia, men, ingitis, smallpox, typhoid fever, diph- theria, and tetanus.
 Since 1902 the Public Health Ser vice has had supervision by law over the manufacture of viruses, serums, and toxins to be sold in interstate traffic. At the present time a large number of firms are licensed fo1 the manufacture of these products This means that their establishments are satisfactory from a sanitary point of view and that their pro. ducts are free from contamination
 In the case of the serums used ir the six diseases mentioned it mean: moreover, that the products, as made have been found capable of prevent ling the diseases they are to be usee
 against.

SIMILAR NAMES CAUSE CONFUSION
 IN IAE ARMY


 There are more than 100000 Smiths" listed in the allotment and allowance of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the treasury de- ,040 John Smiths, 200 John A. Smiths, 1,56O William Smiths and 200 William H. Smiths. It takes 110 card index trays and a good sized squad of filing experts to keep track of all the enlisted men in the fighting forces of the coun- try who answer to the name of Smith"
 There are more than 2,000,000 cards in the allotment and allowance files of the Bureau of War-Risk in- surance, and because of the great repetition of certain names Secre- tary McAdoo has asked all soldiers and sailors to give their full names not initials, in applications and in correspondence and to write all names in clear, legible hand, printing them out rather than using script.
 There are 262 John J. O'Briens in the files and in 50 cases the wife's name is Mary" There are 15,000 Millers and 15,OOO Wilsone on file in the bureau. There are 1000 John Browns, and 1,200 John Johnsons. It is not enough to say George Miller," for there are 1,040 of these, nor is it enough to say George J. Miller," for this is not unique. The full name and the complete post office address are both necessary to identify man.
 Soldiers and sailors are therefore urged to give explicit, complete and careful information concerning their names, postoffice addresses and rank and organization at time of applica- tion, in their applications and in let ters addressed to the bureau.
 The honor of holding the first place in the alphabetical card cata- logue system goes to Clayton Alloy sius Aab, second-class seaman, now somewhere on the high seas on an American battleship. He is closely pressed, however by Earl Olaf Aabel. the names then run the hundreds of thousands through all the letters of the alphabet and end with Joseph Zyny.
 The importantce of clear, legible handwriting is strongly emphasized by the Bureau of War-Risk Insur- ance. Allotments and allowance awards have sometimes been delayed by baffling signatures, by incom- plete addresses, and by failure to notify postal authorities of removal. In correspondence with the bureau and on all applications, names and addresses should be printed, rather than written in script.

SATAN HAD HALO
 IN GOOD OLD DAYS

Certainly most of us would be surprised to see picture of the devil with halo above his head. We have become accustomed to recog- nize the halo as a prequisite of sac red persons, most of whom are paint ed with their arms around their heads. But in the olden times the devil was also painted with a halo of his own, as medieval pictures will bear witness, and long before his satanic majesty came to be a figure in Christian religion other men were represented by painters and mosaic workers as having a halo over their heads.
 In fact, this custom antedates Christianity itself. The halo, sacred now, was a pagen invention. Roman emperors and other personages were always accorded halo by painters It was the symbol of power. And what more natural than to invest satan with halo when Christianity took hold of mems minds? For the was the supreme embodiment of wickedness, of power diverted tc bad ends.

 CD Births-Before the war, 765,- 900 children year were born in Hungary In the first year of the war, 1914, the number of births was reduced by 1S,000; in 1915, only 481,O ,OOO children were born that is 2S4,OOO less than in time of peace. In 1916 the number of births was ,O0O-that is, re- duction of 432,O00. In 1917 the births amounted to 32S,OOO-that is, the reduction was 43S,OOO. There fore our losses Gin Hungary alone) behind the front reach the number of 1,172,866 individuals.
 @ Deaths-Whereas in time of peace infant mortality, for period of seven years, was 34 per cent, in 1915 the proportion was increased to AS per cent, and in 1916 to 50 per cent.

LOYALTY OF AMERICAN LABOR

The resolutions passed on Wash ington's birthday by the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy have the patriotic ring.
 With a preamble briefly stating the real issue of this w-r and re citing Americas traditional stand for democracy and freedom, which tradition has always beer upheld by American labor, the resolution de- clare steadfast loyalty to Americas enlightened cause and recognize that this great struggle is essentially labor's war.
 American workingmen can not discuss internatio nal or other qaes tions with enemy nation, so long as they remain autocrat!c, say the resolutions, and the alliance is one with the whole people of America in their purpose to exert every ef- fort to bring about the final over throw of auocracy and guard jeal- ously our own democratic inst.tu- tions at home.
 The fact that t,1s is iabor's war is recognized by no element more clearly than it is by the American workingmen. They k,.ow that their opportunities lie in freedom srd not in autocratic rule The part that they play at this crisis in the worlds affairs is of tremendous importance; that they recognize and acknow- ledge the situation is something the nation is grateful for and proud of.
