The Times says:
"There is no denying that the loss

''If the enemy is able To extend his

U. s. SOLDIERS TO GO
SOCKLESS IN SUMMER
Purpose is to Make Their Feet
Tough For Winter.

Washington, April 29.-Thousands
Of American soldiers at training
camps and in the field will go sockless
this summer.
Army experts have adopted the sug-
gestion of allied leaders and will BAN
ish the heavy gray sock during the
warm months, in the belief that sock
less soldiers feet become toughened
and fit to withstand the rigors of Win
ter weather in the trenches.
1t is planned to serve out light socks
in the place of the wooden ones. In
some cases the men will wear silk
socks The men will be instructed to
grease their feet well and wear the
light sock as long as possible. By
the time the light sock is worn out,
it is believed the mems feet will be
toughened enough to permit them to
go through the summer without socks
When cold weather returns the men
will get larger socks and two pairs
Of wooden socks.

have been received from Abo, Finland,
that Grand Duke Alexis Nfkolalevitch,
son of the deposed emperor of Russia,

Grand Duke Michael AleXandrovitch

How to Read.

At best the printed words of an aus
thor represent but a poor fraction of
what is in his thought and feeling, or
what he would express If he could.
Therefore, it is well to follow Ruskin's
advice on reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter." Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thors meaning by comprehending his
words, but the act of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such SYM
patty with the idea expressed and
with the author. that you are illumined
by far more of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-William
g. Towne in Nautilus.

German divisions have pressed close

two miles southeast, has fallen into

MUCH EXTRAVAGANCE IN PENS
But Oliver Wendell Holmes Is Said TO
Have Written Twelve Million
Words With One.

"For two years." announces one OF
those eccentric persons who make
business of collecting strange and star
Ting facts, "Thackeray did all his writ
ing with one pen, which also served
him for writing two novels. Oliver
Wendell Holmes used gold pen for
more than thirty years, during which
he wrote 100000 words"
That, we may consider, is genuine
pen conservation, and it may be typical
of q general economy that was far
more prevalent in the days of Thack-
cray and Holmes than it is today, OBJ
serves q writer in the Providence
Journal. Pens in the last quarter CEN
fury have come to be rather lightly es-
teemed by most persons who find
continual use for them. One throws
away an old pen and puts a new one
In the penholder with little thought of
the potential waste. A gold pen, of
course, is exceptionally durable, as
rule, but the one that performed serv-
Ice for Doctor Holmes for more than
thirty years must have been marvel.
Anyway, it was obviously far better
one than the one that served Thack-
cray for only two years. His was prob
ably an old-time quill pen, but even
then a quill pen that would last
through the writing of two novels as
extensive as those produced by Thack-
cray must be regarded with profound
respect.
This economy in the use Of writing
utensils seems awe-inspiring today. In
the past ten years we personally have
knocked out two typewriters and have
started on our third and in that time
have probably turned out less than
half the number of words that
Hqn0I produced ~

whether you're in the jungle or the zoo

Great Apple Industry.

The apple industry in the United
States today represents a stupendous
commercial achievement. 1t had
grown to 100000 barrels In 1916:
it dropped to 2S,oOO,0OO in 1911, and
went up again to 100000 barrels in
1912. From this date forward there is
a continual increase in the production,
for the great cities of the world are
crying for apples, and people every
where are just beginning to apprehend
the actual value of this delicate fruit.
We are turning backward to our heri-
tage, for In the days of our great
grandfathers the common adage was:
IAN apple a day will keep the doctor
away" Fruit as a part of the diet
represents a most health-g giving ele-

Abyssinia Of Today.

The dominant race in Abyssinia Is
Semitic. The Hamitic Is the aboriginal
race. The court or official language Is
Amharic, but Ethiopic is that of the
church and literature. The national
religion is Monophysite Christianity,
but Judaism is found among certain
tribes, and Islam is the faith of con-
siderable element of the population.
The head of the Abyssinian church Is
the Abuna, "our father" who is Cop
tic monk, nominated by the Patriarch
of Alexandria. The government is
despotic monarchy based on system
partly federal and partly feudal. The
civilization of Abyssinia has long been
retarded by isolation and anarchy, but
there Is now national> awakening to
