WHY THEY ARE "D0UGHB0Ys"
Origin of Nickname Applied to United States Infantrymen Traced to
 Mexican War.

The term "doughboy" as nickname for the American infantryman is very old one, dating back to the Mexf- can war of 1846. In that year the United States regular soldiers first made acquaintanceship with the houses of mud-colored, sun-dried bricks that are seen everywhere, even today, in New Mexico, Arizona and the southern part of California.
 These bricks are called by the Mexi- can adobes (pronounced "dobies'O, a term also applied to the small, squat, flat-roofed houses built with them.
 When the American invaders en- tered what was then Mexican terri tory, the infantrymen found these dwellings-mostly deserted by their panic-stricken nhabitants-handy as billets, and promptly occupied them as such. But the cavalrymen, who had to be near their picketed horses out on the open prairie, were unable to avail themselves of similar accommo- dation.
 Partly In envy, and partly in good natured chaff, these christened their more fortunate comrades "dobie dodg- ers," afterwards shortened to "dobies,' ,'' a good, round-soundlng nickname that was bound to stick, and which in course of time became corrupted into "doughboys."

 MT. Moore has had range of ex- periences in various schools in New England. He first started in New York city as teacher in a couple of High schools.

Why She Writes

All young folks love the delightful stories written by Mrs. Gene Stratton- Porter, ahd when asked why she chose writing as d profession, she said: For many reasons came in time to believe that there might be life work for one woman in leading other women back to the forest; on account of my inclina- tioDs, education and rearing, felt, in a degree, equipped to be their Moses" Her first book, "The Song of the Car dlnal," was inspired by the broken, bleeding body of one of those flaming birds which she found on the highway, the victim of a bullet. That she has opened the way into forest and swamp for many Is a fact testified to by her large public of readers. Her charming rustic "Emberlost Cabin" near Rome, Ind, Is situated at the head of Indiana s swamp region. Here she keeps house, lives another life among the wild things, and writes all about them.

Learn to Be a Listener.

The man with brains in his head is a good listener even if he doesn't know what men are talking about. It's a pleasure to listen when you're inter. ested. The next best thing is to act as though you were. That does not mean that you are to act the hypo- crite. It means that you are to put yourself at attention and the chances are that you will become interested. You just must learn to get interested in what concerns the world. Disregard what interests others and thereby you make confession that does not count to your credit. So even if you can't confess the most lively interest, find out what there is about the thing that interests others and the result may be a revelation to you.

- The -A Scrap Book
THE OLD FELLOWS "RIr!"

Women have nursed and women have
 knit
 Since ever the war began; Each fellow who's fit Is doing his bit, As only a patriot can; But what Is the bit that's officially fit For loyal and elderly man? He may practice economy, stint and save, And say an occasional prayer, He may polish his boots and learn to
 shave
 And barber his scanty hair; His flesh may be weak, but his heart Is
 brave
 And he longs to be lover there" He may practice economy, stint and save To lessen the laundry bill The cut of his clothes may surely speak Of an amateur tailor's skill; But he longs, though he looks like a rare
 antique,
 To enter the ranks and drill Oh, it's rough on loyal and elderly guy To twddle hls elderly thumbs, To furtively wipe an elderly eye Of a tear that readily comes. As, heads held high, the boys sweep by To the sound of the flies and drums.

WELL TO KEEP LOOK BEHIND
AVlators Have Revision of Adaee Which We Have All Been ought
 to Observe With Respect.

The old adage, Look before you leap" may well be amended nowadays to read, Look behind you while you fly" says Popular Science Month ly. In Europe the aviators are now as a rule equipped with "backsight" mirrors on their airplanes so that they can observe not only the approach of any machines that may close in upon them from behind, but also keep an eye on the passenger or aviator pupil seated behind them. It Is frequently only a narrow margin that saves an aviator from collision with an air plane approaching from the rear when making an abrupt turn, and on several occasions it may be desirable for him to observe what his companion is do- ing in the rear of the cockpit. Such a mirRor se rves both purposes.
 If all aircraft from the beginning had been equipped with these "back- sight" mirrors any number of fatal ac- cldents that have occurred might have been prevented.

Eoreinn Aviators-

Sergt. Edgar Bouligny, of New Or leans, is quoted as saying in a Paris interview: ''The Bulgarians are good flyers as a rule and the Turks are fair. One Bulgarian ace is credited with 12 victories. Albania, where I flew lately, Is a very dangerous coun- try for aviators because of the rugged hills over which low clouds often hang. It is the most striking wilderness l have ever seen, being picturesque with wooded mountains and numerous pre- cipices. If the motor goes wrong a pilots chances of getting down unhurt are very slim. Landing places are ex ceedingly rare. The enemy placed machine gun batteries on many of the mountain peaks and when we sailed over them at a low altitude we often got bullet holes in the machines"

Those FIattering Films.

Next to an unretouched photograph, the moving picture screen is the great est flatterer in the world. It doesn't flatter those who appear in the pie lures so mucE as those who sit in front and watch them.
 Nobody can attend a moving-pSuture show without being reasonably conti- dent that he has assimilated every thing. It is not like the spoken drama, where one learns, on picking up the paper the next morning, that he missed just about half the subtleties In the performance and came near losing the big idea of the whole thing. Every thing is right where all of us can get each detail without effort, and in grub ping those details we find great mat ters for self-congratulation. Film Fun.

NOTHING LEFT FOR LAWYER Witness Proved He Couldn't Be Trapped Even by the Most Skill

The recent troubles in Ireland have brought into international prominence Sir Francis Hopwood, who was recent ly made British peer. During the troubles he was called upon to examine a witness in a case where the bailiff had ejected a tenant, and one of the witnesses testified that the officers had broken into the cabin with beam that looked like battering ram.
 Sir Francis saw an opening, or thought he did Have you ever seen a battering ram2" he asked.

 "Where?" snapped Sir Francis.

Aerial PhotoaraphY.

Aerial photography has greatly al- tered military methods, for now 1t is impossible for one side to dig a small sap" erect a few strands of barbed wire or to construct a new machine gun post without the other sides knowing 1t almost at once.
 Not only can constructions of a tactical importance near the Hines" such as trench, railways, dumps, battery positions and communica- tlOn trenches, be recorded in detail by aerial photography, but strateg' ical constructions and works such as new railway lines aud sidFngs acrodromes, camps and rear defense systems can be photographed and re- vealed, to the last sleeper or smallest nirplane hangar, by the all-seelng camera.

Fish Hears With His Whole Bod,

In an address before the American Philosophical society, George H. Park CT made critical survey of the sense of hearing in fishes. That fishes could hear was maintained by most natur- alIsts of antiquity, such as Pliny and Aristotle. This was also the opinion of such masters of the art of fishing as Izaak Walton and such students of fish anatomy as John Hunter. In fact 1t was the general view of the func- tion of ears in fishes until the latter part of the last century, when scien- lists declared that the purpose of the ear was to keep the fish in equilibrium, sort of balancing device.
 Recent researches, however, indicate that in the case of the catfish, espe- cially, the sense of hearing is present not only in the ears, but over the gen. eral surface of the body.

we hold also that it is unfair to the whole body of Christians so to belittle the achievements of ten centuries of Christian culture; and we Furthermore hold that it is unfair to our American youth to give them a conception of history and civilization that is not borne out by the facts

rrI.coIor Not of Equal Proportion.

It is evident from the appearance of the French flag as a pictorial dec oration that many artists are unaware that the tri-color does not consist of the three colors, blue, white and red, in equal proportion. When the famous flag was adopted in the year that gave the United States its Constitution, 1789, it was complained that due tc an optical illusion, the white, in the middle, looked narrower at a distance, than the blue, which is next to the staff, and that the red, on the fly end of the flag, looked narrower than the white. After numerous experiments, the proportions of the colors were or dered to be, as they are now, "in every 100 parts, blue to be 30, white, 33 and red 37."
