Commander Evangellne Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
or of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
ia contained in a report just received
nv her from Col. william A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war RELIEF
work with the American troops.
"We will do all we can to NIL TINS
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, land the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and charging
the war relief work of the seven or
CARNATIONS; besides the noble Red
Gross, now merged for drive Tor
funds Each Is vital cog In vast
machine for human relief, and each Is
indispensable, serving its particular
elements In its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born In
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase Of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
1--WE are of the common people, and
we toll on practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson of how to do 1t in the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered 1t
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men II
they but had the chance.
"With 1,21O trained workers at the
front, operating from 420 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause of humanity and
Liberty"

So JEWISH WORKERS
GOING "OvER THERE
Col. Barker Bids Godspeed to
the Graduates of Train
ing School.

The whole-souled cooperation be-
sveen the seven great organizations
working for the happiness and welfare
Of our soldiers and sailors was re-
Gently Illustrated at the graduation
exercises of the tenth class of the
Jewish Welfare Boards Training
School In New York. Col. William 5
Barker, who went to France represent
ing the Salvation Army with the FIRST
contingent Of our troops and has been
cover there" fifteen months, was the.
principal speaker and wished the nfty
eight Jewish workers of the class God
speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi-
nent Jewish attorney and philanthro-
pist of New York, lauded the work OF
the Salvation Army among the boys
at the front.
"What our fighting boys need Is In
spiration and heart and character In
those who are there to help Them
declared Col. Barker. "You will rep
resent in the camps and overseas the
ideals and standards of the Jewish
faith, and it Is up to you above all
things to be consistent in your re-
ligious practices. Practice what you
preach. That, am sure, has been
the secret Of our own success. If you
live up to the principles of your faith
and give what you have to give from
heart big with love, the boys will re-
spect you, whether they be Protestant,
Catholic or jew"
The newly graduated field workers
will make total Of 26O men doing
field work in our camps and naval
training stations under the auspices
of the Jewish Welfare Board. The
Board has about fifty "huts" In the
various camps and maintains centers
in all large cities where soldiers and
sailors of all faiths are welcomed. A
headquarters has recently been estab-
lished in Paris, and 100 men are being
recruited here for overseas work.
There are now nearly $4,000 Jews
serving in the army and navy.

erected and operates forty-one library
buildings.
The Salvation Army, with 1,2l0
workers, principally women, overseas
has won the affection of the fighters.
Its sol huts, rest and reading rooms
are popular gathering places for the
soldiers. The doughnuts fried by Sal

given to the mep have become famous
around the world. The Salvation

FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenchmen, Rivals in Love, Had Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
 One Hundred Years Ago.

The first battle in the air and the strangest duel in the long history of the field of honor was fought no years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen were ardent rivals for the affections of a woman, and so bitter did their quarrel become that only blood could wipe it out. Ordinary methods were too tame for these fiery spirits, so it was agreed that the duel should be fought from balloons. The cause of the trouble agreed to marry the vic tor.
 When the selected day arrived the two fighters and their seconds repaired to the meeting place, only to find a great crowd assembled, for word of the strange encounter had spread broadcast. The principals, however, were undeterrcd. Two balloons, pre- cisely alike, had been prepared, and into these they stepped. To each was handed carefully loaded blunderbuss.
 The word was given and the moor ings cast off. Slowly the balloons as- cended, almost side by side. At the height of about half q mile, when the great bags were but 80 yards apart, the signal was given and both men opened fire. Soon one of the balloons collapsed and crashed to the earth. The record says the woman kept her promise and married the victor of the aerial battle.

STUDY HOLDING OF CAMERA
Successful Work With the Instrument Depends Largely on Its Being in
 Proper Position.

Successful hand-camera work de- bends largely on the power to give slow shutter exposures with the cam era held in the hand, and in this con nection sufficient attention is rarely given to the matter of grip" It is not enough to hold the camera firmly aSiinst the chest or stomach. The best position must be found by trial, and this will vary with different in dividuals and different makes of camera. In general it will be found that the most comfortable position is the steadiest. At waist level the hands will be usually placed sym metrically on either side of the instru- ment, the right, near the release, for ward, and the other little behind. When the camera is held at eye level, one hand is usually held rather under the instrument as a support, and the other grips the back or side, or with a folding type of camera both hands may grip the back. With the very small types, one hand often almost in- closes the instrument and releases the shutter, whilst the other is used as q support. At eye level it is often a great assistance to steady aim to press the back of the camera against the cheek. Just as the feel of a fa- vorite gun gives confidence, so the use of the camera should be familiar, and regular and systematic practice with the InIOldQd camera will ha n great help in this. Trial exposures should be given from time to time, and the resulting negatives carefully ex- amined. At first fairly short exposures only should be given, to gain confi- dence, gradually employing slower speeds as the hand is trained and nerve is acquired.

Dog Recounizes Portrait.

In his "reminiscences Spy" sketches my credulity. He had painted a full length portrait of his host at country house. When it was just finished he came down early one morning to in- spect it--and found his hosts dog sit ting up begging before the portrait of his master.
 It was Apelles, the ancient painter, I think, who depicted grapes so realis- tically that the very birds pecxed at them. But in long association with dogs have never found one who could recognize a figure or landscape in a picture.
 The nearest approach to such intel llgence is when have set Il looking gla ss on the floor and confronted dog With his own likeness. He grouls sus- piciously, uncomfortably, until he walks behind to find the other dog that isn't there .--London Chronicle.

Easy Way to Measure Distances.

Boy scouts who are interested in emulating deeds of their older friends are practicing many engineering stunts. One of the most interesting is to measure distances without instru- ments and where the travel from point to point is impracticable. The method followed is one employed by Napoleon when his engineers sought to learn the distance across an unfordable river.
 The little corporal took position on the bank at the water edge, gazed across the stream until the opposite shore line was just discernible below the visor of his cap. then turned on his heel and spotted point at the same level up stream. After this he paced off the distance and had it approxi- mately correct.

WHAT FASTING FEELS LIKE
University of Chicago Professor Has Made Public the Results of ln-
 vestgations He Has Made.

In numerous descriptions of the ex- periences of man in the course of more or less prolonged fasting, one meets the repeated assertion that aft CT brief initial period little or no hunger whatever is felt. Since it has been well-established that the sensa- ton of hunger is induced by q certain type of tonic and peristaltic contrac- tions of the empty or nearly empty stomach, it must be assumed either that these contractions are abolished as a fast proceeds or that the sensa- tions are decidedly modified.
 A professor of the University of Chicago has lately had an exceptional opportunity to investigate these ques- tions. As the result of careful ob- servations on man during prolonged intentional starvation, he found that during the 15 days complete fast and the subsequent eight days of absti- hence from food with daily ingestion of cotton fiber, the gastric hunger con fractions of his subjects continued with practically normal rhythm and intensity; but the subjective sensa- tions induced by the gastric contrac- tions appeared to be somewhat weak ened and tinged with an element of general epigastric distress or sick stomach

Common Heather pyino Out.

In the case of such plant as the common heather of England and Scot land, found growing wild in Nova Scotia, it is a matter of curious inter- est to determine whether it is native to the soil or has been introduced from Europe. Lawson decided that the plant had it's home here. There was time. it is thought, when the plant was album dant in our northern lands. and it's present rare occurrence marks dying out of the species on this side of the ocean. Its vigorous growth in Europe is due to the circumstance that there 1t is a young plant on virgin soil.

HAVE ORGY OF CANNIBALlsM
Regularly Take Place at Certain Seasons of the Year.

Here Is a monstrous case of the most ghastly depravity mingled with sublime sacrifice.
 The Burying Beetle buries small birds, mammals and reptiles, not as stored food for itself, but for the sustenance of it's offspring. In the confines of cage these undertakers will bury carcass after carcass, eating scarcely anything, depositing their eggs with the game. They display most edifying industry and order un- til the proper season is over. Then they strike work and take themselves underground
 And now most frightful orgy be- gins. Despite the abundance of food both above ground and stored with the eggs, which they will not touch, the undertakers begin mutually eat ing each other. One emerges to the surface with leg missing, and other wise in most battered condition. An other appears a little better off. He has two legs left. This one throws himself on the first, tears him to pieces and eats him. Famine plays no part in the slaughter. It is time for them to die, perhaps, and not be- ing able to oie naturally, instinct drives the undertaken to tear and eat his fellow, needless that he, Himself, is being torn to pieces and eaten by another. And so the horror goes on, one eating the limbs of another and that other eating still another, until the tragedy is over, until next year. Exchange
