Tendency Toward Religion.

The tendency Of the times Is fast
working toward religion. The awful
war Is making. the need Of 1t felt
more and more. Men are feeling IN
their souls that they cannot rely upon
themselves. In all their trials, sor-
rows and dlsappointments they feel
there is Il power above them that con-
tr,.S their destlnles and their only
refuge Is a faith in God. 1t Is the
only supreme fact there Is and they
must accept 1t to satisfy their souls.
We are fast tending In that direction,
and knowing that there Is no other
resource for human hope. Don't re-
sist that tendency, for it Is really the
divine spirit that is working men
TO carry them to that confidence which
Is the only comfort and fruitlon that
Is left them. We might make up our
minds to this tendency and yield to
its control. Mere disbelief will not
save us from anxiety. That is simply
falling back on nothing and making
of the world nightmare only. What
real man wants that?-Ohio State
Journal.

OLD UNIFORM MUST
BE USED NEXT YEAR
None Made After Present Stocks
OF Goods Exhausted.
Further Restrictions Placed Upon Pro.
duction Of Athletic Supplies and
Equipment-Tennis and Golf
Are Hard Hit.

The war Industries board has put
further restrictions upon production of
athletic supplies and equipment, and
this fact, with added taxes coming,
will make any sort Of stool" used In
sport next year precious possession.
Not only have restrictions been placed
upon the production of certain Of the
more common sport supplies but In
some cases further manufacture Is pro-
hlbted after the present stock Of ma
terial In hand Is exhausted.
The followers Of the various
branches Of sport will note with inter-
est that more leeway Is allowed In the
matter of the baseball and football out
put than In the case of tennis and golf.
This Is due not to discrimination, but
rather TO the firct that greater qupn-
titles Of rubber are used In the manu-
facture Of the ball used In these games
than In baseball and football. Accord
ing TO the latest ruling not more than
10 per cent of the tennis and golf
equipment produced during the last
four months of 1917 shall be manufac-
tured during the final months Of the
present year.
In the uniforms department the reg
ulations specify that no material will
be available after the manufactures
has used the supplies now in stock.
This will affect football and baseball
10 far greater extent than will be
the case among the golf and tennis
players, for while special clothing Is
considered desirable among many OF
the devotees of the games, II Is not
absolutely necessary. Because Of the
greater personal contact In baseball
and football, uniforms with special
padding and armor are not matter
of personal choice, but rather essen
tlal as n protection against bodily In
jurles.
During the past year the price of
new athletic equipment and repairs to
old paraphernalia has mounted In
keeping with all other commodities.
The cost of oil material and labor in
volved has increased as the player Of
any game realizes when. he takes a
tennis racquet to be restrung, golf
club to be repaired or sport shoes to
be resOled. Under the circumstances
the outfltting of teams next season,
should organized sport play be posi-
BILE, will be an additional tax upon the
management of such teams.

Perseverance Does II.

"It's the allies perseverance that Is
going to win the war" suiu Senator
Lewis.
"The allies suffered defeat aftc- de-
feat, but from each defeat they
learned something.
"It's like the advice the editor Of
the Cinnamnson Sclmltar gave to an
unlucky wooer who had been rejected
by seven girls in turn. The editor
wrote:
"Unlucky Wooer: Go ahead. Don't
be discouraged. Never say die. You
must have Learned lot by what you
have gone through. Strikes us you
must hold something like record.
Well, stick all your experience to-
gether and make love to the next girl
who comes around and takes your
fancy. II she doesn't reciprocate try
another. Remember, you only want
one girl to say "Yes," and she'll prob
ably last your life"

Army Nurses in Peace Times.

There Is corps Of regular army
nurses maintained In peace times as
well as In war times. When nurses
volunteer under the Red Cross organl-
zation and enter the army service they
assume the same status as that Of the
regular corps Of nurses. A nurse aid
receives no pay for her services.
Transportation and maintenance, how
ever, are supplied. Nurses and nurse
aids, sworn into the government serv-
Ice through Red Cross channels, and
all nurses employed by the army and
navy are under me order Of the army
and navy medical departments. If a
nurse or nurses aid is incapacltated
through service, either In this country
or abroad and thereafter, because OF
disability suffered while in the service,
Is unable to provide for herself, there
Is not known under the law any means
whereby she can secure the benefits
Of a pension.

the fans who saw the Browns OF 1888
