Benefit Of Art Education.

A glimpse at the development of
trade in European countries, in which
Industrial art has played such an i'm
portant role, is full of suggestion to US.
When Germany discovered at the Paris
exposition In 1873 how crude and in
artistic her exhibits were, her greatest
artists, laying aside their easels and
canvases. began designing textiles, wall
paper, furniture and advertisements.
The results of these activities we wit
messed in the German Applied Arts
exhibition held In all our large cities q
few years ago. BY means of intensive
art education in Prussia the trade
routes of the world were changed In
favor of Germany. Trade in toys was
diverted from Switzerland, in printing
materials from England, and in dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England in a similar way trade has
been developed through attention to
art education.

LESSON WAS TOO REALISTIC
Class in First-Aid Work Promptly
Proved That "Nerve" Was Thing
They Lacked.

A doctor of a small town of central
Missouri was instructing a class of 30
enthusiastic young women in first
aid work.
The lesson for the evening was on
nerve, and he was endeavOring TO en-
tighten them as TO just what was
meant by nerve" and how ii was es.
pecially necessary in the case of acci.
dents.
The instructor continued by saying
n distinguished physician had said that
"Nerve means you must be cool, you
must be very cool, you must be -
cool"
Just as he finished this explanation,
scream was heard outside followed
by several pistol shots. The outer door
into the basement of the town library,
where the class was being held, was
flung open. Two men, struggling to-
gether, their clothes drenched in blood,
rolled down the steps into the room.
There were means from the writing
forms on the floor, but the class did
hol hear them. They had flown, not

~ shelter across the street.
Nor, when the doctor went across to
them, and explained that the shooting
affray was only a sham one between
two college boys, which he was using
TO illustrate his lecture, would they re-
turn.
They had completely lost their
nerve" they explained, and their
nerves were so shaken they must go
home at once, and go they did.

Training little Children.

Children are so open-hearted and
ready and respond so sweetly and
quickly TO faith and trust that we often
miss great happiness by not sharing
our hopes and joys more freely with
them.
If we keep the bond very close, our
home will become the great meeting
place of all children, and this love and
companionship between parents and
children will be like powerful mag
net whose attraction the children cam
not resist.
SO, from these beginnings the home
tie will be so strengthened that we
need never fear that the allurements
of the world can draw our children
from us, but can rest assured that they
will always return TO the center of
7eep repose."

EASY TO WRITE WITH TOES
Assertion Made That accomplish
ment" Can Be Acquired in CON-
parativeIy Short Time.

When next you go TO the zoo, watch
the monkeys use their hands, suggests
the Popular Science Monthly. Notice
how they seize things with their fists.
They do not use their finger-ends as
we do While the higher monkeys,
such as gorillas and chimpanZees. may
be taught to use their fingers, they
never learn TO use them as easily as
do human beings.
The monkey is primarily a tree
dwelIer. 1t lives in forests and swings
from tree to tree, using its hands as
hooks with which 1t grasps the
branches. The thumb is not brought
into play. Some South American mon
keys have lost the thumb through dis.
use; all that is left of 1t is indicated
by little lump under the skin.
In the higher monkeys the wrist is
built like yours. 1t has the same num-
Der Of bones. But the monkey has
never used his wrist, and so it has lost
the fiexibility. The monkey can use
his fist to better advantage than his
hands.
Man, on the other hand, has used his
feet so long simply for the purpose of
walking, that he would experience con-
siderable difficulty in using them as
he uses his hands. Yet, it is amazing
how quickly a man can learn to use
his toes as he does his fingers. If you
don't believe this, just try to Nwrite
with your toes. AT first the letters
win be very large and awkward. But
with a very little practice you Will
find that you can write with your foot
more easily than with your left hand.
If you are naturally right-handed. 1t
is an attractive exercise with which
to while away an hour. We know you
will try the experiment.

Eood-After the War,

Whatever other blessings peace mas
bring il will not bring instant relief to
the masses who are now distressed by
food shortage and its natural conse.
quences, high prices. There will be
as many mouths TO feed when the arm.
les are demobilized as there are now.
II is true that the fare of the soldiers
in most European countries is more
liberal than that of the civil popula-
ton, but no statesman will take COM
fort in the prospect of masses of dis
banded soldiers reduced to the level
of civil undernouriShment. And be-
sides, the civil populations that are
now enduring Semistarvation uncom-
plainingly, recognizing that no relief
can be expected while the energies of
their government are engrossed by
war. will be far less patient when
peace returns. More food, not less,
will be required in peace.-The New

Republic Tomorrow.

The public is being awakened at the
Republic Theatre. Tomorrow. the VIM.
Fox 1918 cinemelodrama, Cheating

ton dealing with the child labor prob
lem and with food profiteering and can
not fail to arouse the interest and stir
the indignation of any one who sees it
The strong features of the produc-
ton, aside from the highly thrilling
scenes of which the race at night be-
tween an automobile and an express
train is one, are its admirable portray
ais of human nature-its realism. The
story itself is stirring one of the eX-
periences OF a factory girl who is
ground down under the heel of the
business oppressor. For balance of

Naval Lieutenant Wins Honor.

Although officers In the military
forces Of this country are not allowed
to accept decorations or gifts from for
eign governments, the British admiral
ty has just conferred honors upon a
young American officer. To Lieut..
Frank Loftin. q. S. N, on duty on an
American destroyer operating in the
war zone, has been given the distin-
guished service cross. The navy de-
partment announces this recommen-
dalton made through the British am
bassador. Loftin was executive Off
Ger of the destroyer, which, with 9TH
ers, was conveying a number of troop
ships, when general quarters was
sounded as a torpedo was sighted COM
ing toward the ship. Sizing up the
situation, he rang to the engine room
for full speed ahead. Getting this, he
altered the ships course and headed
directly for the periscope Of the o.
boat. Quick maneuvering followed and
a depth charge dropped In the course
of the submerged enemy sent him out
of sight. Lieutenant Loftin is from
Tennessee and graduated from the
Naval academy In the class Of 1907.

Determining Ace of Planets.

A novel idea In estimating the physi-
cal condition of planets was put forth
by NJ. Veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at a recent meeting in
Paris. He based it upon a calculation
of the quantity of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is-stiIl surrounded by thick
layer of vapor, while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry, this planet being still in con-
dition in which its geological life has
not begun, and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
NJ. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks of our earth now contain alb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth Of about
400 metres.

The card party for the benefit of the
Red Cross that was to have been held
at the residence of Mrs. Richard Nor

is that it was impossible to secure
enough chairs and have them hauled
over the Severn for the party at Mrs.
Morton's residence. 1t will require at
least one hundred chairs, and these
can be supplied at st. Johns gymna-
stun. Anyone wishing to play may

RECALLING Early KIondike.

Just twenty years ago at this time,
Joaquin Miller, being a true prospec-
tor, miner, and all around adventurer,
as well as a poet of nature, joined
thousands of others on the long trail
to the Klondike, and wrote back that.
although his party was supposed to be
one of the first to start, on its arrival
$500 claims had already been record
ed. 1t has always been mystery how
news of the discovery'of gold in the re-
hottest regions is carried broadcast
over the face of the earth. Where
Joaquin Miller expected to find the
quiet of his own Sierras, he found pop
ulous towns and camps, and was so
disappointed by the discovery and that
he at once took the long trail back.
The great majority of these whom he
left behind returned more leisurely, but
they are nearly all back now.-ChriS-

It Is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to .

supply.
Europe's herds are dwindlins under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
Of cattle We're appropriated. This adj
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas.
ures been forced Into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale Of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained In
England, as follows: For September.
sire per hundred pounds; October.
SIPS; November and December,
$l8OS, and for January, $14.4O. The
evident intent Of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market a.
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
total Of 1884 300 as compared with
14,S07 900 In 1913. Today, due to lack
Of forage principally. France Is pro.
ducing only one gallon Of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-I
mlnistratlon has taken steps to cen.
serve our focks and herds and to In
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers Of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years 1t has been a prac-
tIce among many Of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at,
birth and In many instances the fe-i
males II not needed to replenish their
herds rather than 60 to the expense OF
maturing them into veal. The high
prices Of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is IS per cent. Of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid1
cred any plan Of seizing foodstuffs
owned by h0useholders. Nor 10 there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite Of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official De-
malls Of rumOrs that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes. ,
These rumors were originated partly,
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by conscienceless grafters, who,
sought to profit through buying from
mlslnformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving pacticed on greater,
scale than ever before In the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patrioticl
housewives that foods so saved are,
theirs. and theirs alone.
