High Individual Morale.

The reason why morale is necessary
in times of peace as well as in war is
that the morale of no army can be
higher than the individual morale of
the men, declares San Antonio Light.
Therefore the very best soldiers are
those recruited from civil life who
have every day morale-the men who
do things, who stand fearlessly for
what they believe to be right, who
are undismayed by opposition and APP
parent defeat, and who accept llfe's
tribulations calmly, patiently and with
fortitude.
Men of that stripe cannot be stam-
peded or confused in military affairs,
once they have been trained as sol
diers, just as in everyday life they
cannot be kept down by circumstances.
They are individually invincible and
hence when organized into an army,
they are militarily invincible.
Therefore when you read Of an army
or military unit with q high morale
you know that the men in the ranks
and the officers over them are men of
strong, dominant courage who meet
death calmly in the discharge of their
military duty and who cannot be rout-
ed nor oyerawed by the enemy, but
must be vanquished, if at all, by fight
ing.

Communication by Elaus.

Those who have read Cooper's novel,
"The Pilot" win remember how the
American officer instructed his lady
love to communicate with him by little
flags of varied eolors. Cooper, with a
novelist's freedom. made his charac-
ter apply system which had already
been extensively experimental with in
the British and French navies. For
after much experimenting combina-
tions of flags of various shapes and
colors were gradually developed into
what we call a "code" today. Prob
ably the most famous flag signal ever
flown was Nelson's at Trafalgar, but
it required great number of combina-
tons of flags (hoists. they are tech
nically called) TO spell out: England

PATRIOTIC ACTIVITIES In
MARYLAND HIGH SCHOOLS
War Spirit Seized Upon And Trans
formed Into Training 10 Sacrifice
And CITIZENSHIP.

State superintendent of Schools. NJ.
Bates stephens. reports that in many
ways the war spirit is being seized
upon in the Maryland High Schools
and transformed into training in sacri-
nee and citizenship worthy of mem
ton. Liberty Bonds of both issues.
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 in vari-
Gus schools, have been bought By the
pupils and presented TO their school
libraries, and are being paid for By
the pupils themselves. At Chester
town High school. girls are working
afternoons and Saturdays as maids,
and the boys have advertised them-
selves as ready TO undertake any sort
OF work. in town or on the farms. and
all earnings are applied to the school
bonds. At Hyattsville. the same gem
eral plan is being followed: as also
at Catonsville, Thurmont and Tow
son. In Frederick, the Y. NJ. c. A.
/ campaign was materially assisted by
the high school pupils. working after
school hours and on Saturdays; the
pupils of Smithsburg High School
are supporting a French war orphan;
and comfort kits and Christmas pack
ages for soldiers were prepared IN
several schools The Alumni Asso-
Citations have, al the request and in
the name Of their several schools.
1 rendered substantial aid in patriotic
work at some schools Service flags,
with from two to thirty or more stars
furnished by the pupils, are teaching
their lofty lesson Of patriotism
through sacrifice to every passer-by;
and In more than half the schools the
local Red Cross units have enrolled
the pupils as active assistants.
These activities are being carried
in addition to the regular work Of the
schools; and it is the general testi-
mony of the teachers that the partici-
patton in the war activities has not
only afforded the best kind of train
/ ing for citizenship but has produced
better work in the regular school
studies.
In statement to the press made in
/ october, the State superintendent Of
/ schools, in commenting upon the
shortage OF teachers cduSbu bS TIC
large number of well-paying business
positions open to them, said that six
principals of approved high schools
had entered military service and as
many more had resigned to take UP
other work, and that ii was especially
hard to find suitable candidates for
the vacant positions Notwithstanding
the fact that these losses both Of men
and women teachers from the high
schools have now more than doubled
and that the schools now have many
Vacancies in positions held by teach
| ers Of the regular academic subjects,
the approved high schools are as a
whole striving to meet the unusual
L stress, both by engendering and fos-
ttering the spirit Of Americanism, and
| by trainining their pupils through in
telligence and efficiency for leadership
| in the next decade. which viii need
these qualities more sorely than any
generation OF Americans has yet
needed them.

AVIATION SECTION

Lack Of interest in the navy's need
for men in the aviation branch is the
cause of surpise 70 the authorities at

Her RICH reward
Towns Most Gifted Cook Wins
Envy of Other Women.
There Is NO Material Compensation for
Long Hours She Spends With
Rolling Pin and Oven.

There is In every small town some
woman whose cooking is absolute wiz
arlry itself. Her home never lacks for
Sunday company" She is always in
demand at church or lodge suppers,
too.
Mrs. George Sparks was that sort OF
woman. While she could cock with an
artists skill most any dish known to
the small-town housewife. pumpkin pie
was her especial forte. Whenever the
Ladies' Aid society advertised supper
and carefully stated that Mrs. George
Sparks would contribute some Of her
justly famed pumpkin pies. an overflow
attendance was certain. What a strug-
gle always followed the bringing forth
of those golden brown pumpkin pies
The very sight of them was enough TO
make any man in the town vet his lips
with anticipatory delight. The crusts
were always short to just the right
degree Of perfect JOY and the filing
was like ambr0sla the gods had care
. lessly left al the disposal of an unde-
serving mankind.
Mrs. Sparks never had the expert
ence Of ether members Of the Ladies'
Aid society, who often had some of
their viands left for the home folk TO
consume. Her pies were all slicked up
in remarkably brief time after they
made their appearance. Pies like Mrs.
George Sparks were never made to be
eaten with fork-they were made for
large, liberal, thick piece to be
grasped gently in the palm Of the left
hand and thereby to be conveyed to the
eagerly waiting mouth.
None of the men, except the mayor
and the minister ever was able to curb
his impatient appetite sufficiently to
permit him to ply fork at such times.
The utter and manifest delight with
which every man in town fell upon
those golden pies brought many a bale
ful glance from other and less favored
members of the Ladies' Aid society.
But there was no man in town who
wasn't willing to have q troublous ses-
sion at home for the sake Of a second
piece of one of those pies. And there
was probably not another man in town
who didn't at times envy George
Sparks and didn't resent that worthy
mans self-satisfied and contented de-
meanor.
And Mrs. George Sparks, what did
she get in return for those hours she
spent with the rolling pin, the dough
pan and the cooking stove oven? She
never got cent for all the hundreds
Of perfect pies with which she supplied
the hungry townsmen. But there
wasn't woman in town who wouldn't
have undergone an equal amount of la
Dor and self-denial gladly to have re-
ceived Mrs. George Sparks reward
that of knowing she could do some
thing better than any other woman in
town and knowing that they, too, were
aware of the fact.

The Color Of Gold.

Gold is not always the golden yell
low of the poets, but under certain
conditions may appear orange, reddish
green or even purple. Addition of cop
per as an alloy to make the metal hard
enough for commercial purposes gives
the gold an orange or even red appear
ance. Silver makes it pale yellow. If
1t is beaten into very thin gold leaf, 1t
transmits green light. But if very
finely divided gold is suspended in a
liquor by precipitation from solu-
ton, it appears to be purple. So you
cannot always judge gold by its color.
