Canine Life Saver.

Dogs have been given their share OF
ossdhE for saving human Me. from time
b tine. but 1t is doubtful II any canine,
however faithful, has ever given bet
ter account Of himself as a life saver
than dog did here. While driving
hsme to their farm from Pipesteae,
Nh. and MRS. Charles Thiele were run
dawn at a Gloss road by another car
wassdh was travelling at great speed.
When the crash occurred the Thiele
car was picked up by the other and the
fosce Of the collision threw fifseen-
menths-old baby frem Mrs. ThIeles
arms. The child wsuld have met GER
tain death beneath the cars but for the
fact that in falling the baby struck
dog which was riding On the foot
beard Of the other car. The dog gpab.
bed the dress Of the child and cluag
b It until the cars could be stopped.
HE baby received fewer injuries than
did the ether occupants Of the cars.
Both machines were badly wrecked

IN CAESARS STEPS.
Allies Fight Germans on Ground
He Made Famous.
Campaigns Today Have Many striIs
Ing Points Of Similarity to Those
Fought by the Great Roman
Conqueror.

Over the same ground where Caesar
fought nearly 1900 years ago. and
with many implements of war remark
ably like those used by his army, the
allies are fighting the Germans today,
says a writer in Pittsburgh Dis
patch. The foe is the same in cruelty
and in overbearing nature, as any
school boy or girl who has read the
commentaries Of the great Roman gen.
eral can tell you. How history repeats
itself and how important as well
as interesting Is the study of the
Latin language become since the war
is illustrated In telling fashion by a
classical exhibit in the University Of
Pittsburgh.
In the exhibit, which was arranged
under the direction of B. L. Ullman Of
the State Classical association, is
model Of bridge built over the Rhine
by Caesar. 1t was made from the de-
scription given by Caesar.
The bridge is almost exactly like the
temporary bridge the soldiers at
Plattsburg are now being taught to
make and on which they expect to
cross the Rhine as they 60 into the do
main Of the kaiser.
The Roman ballista, used to throw
stones ut the enemy, is made exactly
on the same principle as the machine
used today to throw trench bombs.
Modern springs now take the place Of
the twisted rawhide with which mo-
mentum was obtained by the Roman
machine. A model Of the Roman bal
lista is in the exhibit.
On the same principle is the cata-
pult, used by the Romans to shoot ar
rows. Several Of the weapons used by
the Roman soldiers, including sword
and spear, forerunners of the bayOnet,
are much like those used in the pres
ent war. Models Of all these are In
this exhibit. There are also models
Of the Roman soldier and Of the sol.
der of today, both wearing headpieces
Of metal much alike.
The boy who is reading Caesar can
tell you that Reims, whose wonderful
cathedral has been destroyed by the
Germans, was named from the Rami
tribe mentioned by Caesar and that
scissors takes its name from the Sues
stones tribe, conquered by Caesar. The
Commentaries are full Of names made
familiar by the war going on today
and the schoolboy reads with added
interest how Caesar defeated Ariovis-
tus, king Of the Germans, and won
other triumphs on the same battle
front as that Of the allies today. The
wolf holes he describes are much like
the traps used to ensnare and bewilder
the enemy now.
Other articles in the exhibit made by
students show what a wealth Of RO-
man tradition has been handed down
to us. The Roman fasces, shown on
the new United States dime, is the
original Of the mace, the symbol Of
power, used by the speaker of the
house Of representatives. The fasces,
in turn, had its origin In the sticks
used by the Romans to fog offenders
and the ak used by them to cut off
the heads Of the worst Of them.

The Halt, the Blind and the Manned.

The large number Of men, women,
girls, and boys in Great Britain who
are receiving wages they never dreamt
Of before the war, are not always un-
mindful Of the wants of others. In
fact, many Of the worlds sad dere-
hcts" are benefiting substantially by
the good times Of their more fortunate
brethren. Instances Of it are very no
ticeable in the Black country. On pay
day, in the particular region, may be
seen wandering to convenient ''pitch"
the MAIN, the halt, and the blind. Some
have musical instruments which they
perform upon. Others sing, some are
blind, and others are minus a limb.
They all have caps or other receptacles
for coppers. When the works gates
are open, and the workers come forth
with pockets full Of money, there is
variation in the music which can
be described as weird. But is is
great time for the musicians. There
is a continual "clink, clink," into the
caps of the poor folk until the last
worker has passed their line.

The Women at Work,

We simply can't feel surprised these
days when women step into a new
line Of work. Every day calls them to
a new labor. A survey of the present
field gives an idea Of the variety Of
work they do. Women are: Elevator
conductors, telegraph operators, rail-
road ticket agents, munition workers,
editors, farm laborers, ushers, pilots
for airplane mail delivery, mail car
riers, county officers, drivers of motor
trucks, street car conductors, forest
ers, architects, finger-print experts,
Judges on the bench, lighthouse
keepers and ship captains

Frost Not Due to Moon.

The moon may be Of tremendous
Importance to young folks hanging over
the garden gate or to night marauders
with an incurable thirst for water
melon, but 1t should have no sinister
significance to gardeners or farmers.
In some sections Of the country pre-
vans a popular belief that in the sea-
son when frost is to be expected Its
occurrence Is largely Influenced by the
phase Of the moon or other periodical
phenomena. Careful tabulation OF
frost data and comparison with moon
phases fails to disclose any such rela-
tien. All persons interested are there
fore cautioned to watch not the moon
but the forecasts issued by the wealth
er bureau.

Through Chinese SpectacIes.

Here are some comments on the kali
ser from the pen Of Chinese student:
'~Ehe German Kaiser Is not the SUI
perior Man as deciphered by the Chi
nose literature; he Is surely mean
fellow containing much fraudish Gun
ming I'm his deoeited heart. The Supe-
rier Man Is shown In the merits Of
the excellent heart with much loving
lnindness to oil peoples; the mean fel-
low is displayed in the black heart Of
the unregenerated devils Of the hell
with much loving kindness only to
himself. In the history Of China was
q Emperor who burn the boel0s and
slowed the scholars to extinct the civil
hzatisns of the peaceful inhabitants;
bvt he wns not success in his crafty
tpfcls, for the civilizations could never
be extMcted by such dishOnouruble
barbarism means. Now the German
Kaiser he also awfuIly wishing to
slave the people and extinct the cfvi-
H9ations Of the universe; he also de-
strsy the literature books, and the
arts, and the ships, and mess the
people Of Allies Nations But
he will not be success."-Manchester

BRITAIN TO BRING FREEDOM
People OF Lebanon Are LongingIy
Awaiting the Coming OF Their
"couslns, the English"

*Some day I shall hear their music
and, looking out across the plain, I
shall see their red coats coming nearer.
Then the signal will be given and we
shall rush out to welcome our deliver
ers. our cousins, the English, and
we shall be free people" Thus, In
dreamy evidences, spoke Shahim, the
bravest and most beautiful, I had been
told Of the younger generation Of tire
Druses, as we sat together resting IN
the middle Of a hard days Journey n
the mountains Of the Hauran, on the
borders Of the old Araiia. I showed no
establishment at this ssliloquy; indeed,
I was not astonished, having heard
about their cousins the Engksh" ever
since J had first esme among tie
Druses some years before. But gent
ly taking his ride fcssa his knees ard
examining 1t carefully as IL carrying
on his musings, saAd: 'Yes, aud here
is her name engraved on the stock Of
your rife" This dld arsuse aston
fshment in him. "Whose aame?' he
asked with animation. 'sIlre name Of
the English queen" I replied; and
there, under the crown, I showed hln
the letters V. r. He fendled the E4n
even more lovingly, for the rife is the
Druses' sweetheart, and nrurmured:
"She Is a good Indy. Strange that so
great a country should be ruled by q
woman, yet evr learned men tell us
that even TaGnur In the days Of IT'S
greatness was ruaed by queen ;" then
confdentially: "OU cousins the Hng-
fish sent US these; they cost us much
money but those whs bring them take
all that, and we are thankful, for
sSherwise we should have to fight the
Arabs with sifngs and spears" He
leaned forward wSth his rife across his
lap and with chin in hand, gazed in
tently, but with the dreamy gaze Of
the oriental, out over the vast plain
at our feet, listening in his day dream
fer the strange martial music he
lenged to hear, and wistfnlly picturing
to himself the red coats Of the "cous-
ias the Hnglish" as they should ad-
vance to the deliverance Of his people.

To Do Away With "Rush Hour"

In order to prevent the rush OF
workers the British board Of trade
tramways' committee suggests that in
dustftal concerns should "stagger"
their dnies of opening and closing. BY
taking on and discharging work peo-
pie at intervals Of ten minutes or so
the cars could be worked more eco
nomically and there would be con-
tinuous stream Of passengers, instead
of the present rush at certain hours.
