What Your Boy viii Learn in the
Trenches.

Private Peat, the famous soldier
lecturer. says in the American
Magazine:
when the war came, hundreds
Of these remittance men enlisted.
A good many of them had been
drunkards. good-for-nothings, gam
blers, buns. But the record they
have made in the trenches Is one
OF the finest pages int he war. Some
Of them have died heroet' deaths.
Some of them are still living and
fighting. I know Of one man who
was down and out, morally-just a
plain drunkard. That man today
is a lieutenant self-respecting and
honored.
Il tell you. there are worse things
in the world than war. It's bitter
hard, know, to send your son away
to fight But IL you realize that
the war is going to give him a
postgraduate course in the very
things you have tried hardest to
teach him, maybe 1t won't seem sc
hard. Those things are courage
and loyalty. obedience, self-sacri-
fee, honesty, trust in God-aren't
they? Wen. those are the things he
will learn in the trenches. Believ-
ing this. you certainly can send him
away with a smile on your face, q
smile Of pride and of hope"

Wrecked Vessel Increases in Value

It Is not very often that a vessel can
hang for two bitter winters on a rock
in one OF the Great Lakes, battling
bravely against the waves to retain its
hold. then come serenely into port
some fine day with q valuation of
$35S,0 against the $4,000 for which
1t had been insured when the accident
occurred. This is what happened in
the case of the Western Star, says
George F. Paul, in the March Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
1t was on a misty morning, Septem-
ber "a. 1915, that the Western Star.
laden with 1000 tons Of coal, was eau
tiously feeling its way up the north
channel of Georgian Bay. The ship
was not far from Clapperson Island
when It went aground on Robertson's s
Rock, long the dread Of many a mari
ner. The boats wer speedily lowered,
but not a moment too soon for the
Western Star, helpless with the enor-
nous cargo that it carried. The tirst
cofferdam built to raise the boat gave
way under the water pressure and
was q total loss.

While in Motion.

According to information from a re-
liable source. experiments conducted
on the Canadian government railways
with telephone apparatus. that per-
mits verbal messages to be transmitted
to and from moving trains. have met
with highly gratifying results. This
apparatus Is described and illustrated
in the March Popular Mechanics Mag

and no difficulty has been encountered
in getting distinct tones. Connection
between the instrument and rail Il
made through the car wheels. Control
of the system differs in 10 respect
from ordinary telephone operation. and
artificial amplifiers requiring adjust

II must be acknowledged that the

Biz was rather a fiivver. Harry Lewis
would get funny and spoil what few
ideas unwarrantedly the enfranchised
sex might have cleaned. But, such
as II was, It shall be described.
That Greer Suit.
First, there was the aforementioned
popular Lord Gordon Gin in an emer-
aid green Norfolk suit, all belted and
bepocketed. with-a large buckle in
front of the coat. Lord Gordon also
sported a green and white tie and
white buckSkin shoes. Can you not
imagine the atmosphere Of cheerful
liveliness such a suit would spread In
the average ONCE? The ONCE force
would rise to greet its wearer with
an unanimous expression of Joy. As
for the boss, his emotions would prob
ably be quite indescribable. Still,
don't suppose that there is a man In
town who has the initiative to pur-
chase an emerald green suit or the
scourage to wear it.
NOn-skld Shoes.
Next in order came what facetious
Harry Lewis described as a mans
drinking costume or skating habit. "
This was simply a vivid black and
white Highland costume thoughtfully
equipped with non-skid shoes and an
Identification tag so that the wander
ing skater may be brought home be-
fore his family begins to telephone
the hospitals.
A nice lavender bathrobe was next
in order. This was suggested as a
street costume for the man whose
wife has sent his clothes to the suffer
ing Belgians.
Then there was a convict costume
with q wide streak OF yellow down
the back. This is the costume for
