oId.Tlme Barley Bread.

We find more entertainment than in.
struction In an editorial Of the Hart
ford Courant on the revised use Of
barley. It refers to its use in Bible
times and finds this verse in the Book
Of Judges to give an idea Of its quail
ity:
"And when Gideon was come, be-
hold there was q man that told a
dream unto his fellow, and said, Be.
hold, dreamed dream, and 10, q
cake of barley bread tumbled into the
host of indian and came unto tent
and smote it that it fell and over
turned it, that the tent lay along"
The Courant seems to approve OF
the use of barley flour, though admit
ting some difficulties in preparing it
for bread. But 1t takes this Bible
verse as evidence that its density
would make it serviceable as pro-
Notwithstanding American.

Policeman Apoloaizes.

Released by the signal of the traffic
policeman, the stream of vehicles was
Eurging through Market street when q
young woman in a new car drove up
Broad street. She pulled out to pass
the other cars that had halted and
kept on her way, pumping the horn
shrilly and insistently: 81 blew the
horn loudly enough; why didn't you
make those cars stop and let me by?"
she freezingly asked the policeman
after he had rescued her. "My mis-
take, madam" said the officer. Il
thought you were blowing for me, TO
move the Kinney building back out OF
your way."-Newark News.

home and foreign creditors.
The astonishing statement is made
by this writer that Russia. including

Der which is 63 per cent as much az
the whole world possessc'!. This re-
Source is being set aside " Russian

The effect on Americas business
should be duly considered, observes
Hardwood Record In discussing the ar
ticle. Except oak, it continues, which
is generally known in the market as
the japanese oak, it is not probable
that much Russian timber will reach
the United States; but it will compete
with American lumber in other mar
kets, notably those of western Europe.
and perhaps those of eastern Asia,
western South America and the Pacific
islands.
ITO that extent" says Hardwood
Record, "our lumber business may be
hurt by the flood Of forest products
from Russia. In normal times Ger
many received 48 per cent Of its lum-
Der imports from Russia, and Eng
lands per cent Of timber imports from
that source was nearly as large.

ACTS AMAZE ITALIANS
Yankee Flyers Credited With
Great Heroism.
Exploits Quickly Win Honors Given BY
King Victor Emmanuel
* Himself. ~

Italian Army HeadQuarters.-The
ITALIAN cOmnl;ndant under whose d.
rectiOn the American flyers are work
Ing on the Italian front has only one
fault to find with them. They never
want to remain on the ground.
The exploits which brought five of
the American airmen decorations can
not yet be published, but the value of
their services may be judged from the
fact tina King Victor Emmanuel trav-
eled to the section held by the Amer
leans to make the presentation.
A few days ago Lieut.. Alexander @.
Craig Of New York, while flying over
Austrian territory, was attacked BY q
chaser plane. BY skillfully handling
his own machine, after q few minutes
Of jockeying he put his adversary at
q disadvantage and unanswered his
own gunner into such position that
q burst Of machine gunfire shot the
attacker dead and sent his plane to the
ground In flames.
Lieut.. Harry L. Holtz Of Burley,
idaho, showed he could combine great
GOODNESS In danger with thorough I'M
Outstanding Of italian habits and GUS
toms. On his way back over the Aus
titan lines after a deep raid into en-
envy territory his plane was struck BY
D burst of shrapnel from anti-aircraft
guns. One fragment lodged in the
body Of Holtz's machine, another tore
. hole in. the right wing. while third
gplintered one Of the left-wing spars,
II the same time cutting one Of tho
A1seon control cables to such an ex-
tent that single strand Of steel wire
N13 left.
I Lieutenant Holtz calmly pointed out
The break to the Italian mechanic &C
Scompanying him. The mechanic. with
out moments hesitation, climbed out
and fought his way to the wing against
q tremendous wind pressure. Then,
lying fiat on his face and bracing his
feet against the strut, he grasped the
damaged cable with one hand on each
side Of the break.
Just when he was getting grip
on the last strand Of the cable it parted
and the value Of his daring action was
apparent. With the cable gone, the
biz airplane virtually was useless. but
hs coolly chung there, substituting his
strength for 1t and enabling Lieuten-
ant .Holtz to bring the machine safely
Into Italian territory.

is that age is not a matter OF years,
but OF thoughts. True, the body
gives way here and there, as the
years pile upon it. The hair turns
gray and fingers are not so nimble
and feet are not so swift as at one
and-twenty.
But there is no reason why the
heart should wither, nor is there
reason why the brain, with its life
time OF information and experience
stored away in those wonderful cells
OF thought and memory, should not
be far more active and useful than
ever before.
Much OF old age is habit brought
about by looking too often towards
the sunset and not enough towards
the sunrise. Many people made old
in such fashion would hesitate to
start upon new novel for fear it
would be useless.
But that is a foolish sort of logic.
What assurance has youth when it
fares forth at morn that by night it
will not be cold and still We can
not penetrate the future. Every task
to which we turn our hand, brings
but the knowledge that its compile

One of the other why we are inclined
to believe that Mr. Glass will make good is that he
is a newpaper man. This we with due mod

at the worlds capital OF oose-leai tobacco,

ton depends entirely upon the will
of death. We never know when Our
summons will come, be we eighteen
or be we eighty-seven.
This alone, we do know, that the
unconquerable spirit to do and the
heart perPetually young, are inn
mune to death. They can never be
laid low.
1t is the ability to keep persistent
ly at it until the very end that
brings us to our last great sleep with
smiling lips and fearless mien. While
heaven formid that we urge all the
aged to write novels, still we may
say with safety that there are few
of them who cannot perform some
useful task to the very end, small
though the niche they occpy.
There is nothing sadder in all the
