Wartime Nerves.

As the war progresses to its finish,
which will come some glad day, per-
haps even nearer than is now expect
ed, the strain upon those who await
its outcome with the most intense anx-
iety daily becomes more difficult to
stand. The tense situation encour-
ages the development Of state Of
mind which Is harassing, and one
which, II not checked, must ultimately
result in more OF less serious col
lapse after such long-continued pres
sure. Great restraint Of natural i'm
pulses toward over-excitement con-
cerning the war is essential as well
to the individual as to the national
well-being. Americans must keep their
heads cool and their bodies strong In
order to do their full duty In this
great emergency. They must not give
way to feelings of dependency when
temporary discouragements to the ad-
vance of the cause occur, nor should
they become too sanguine of immedi-
ate success when the news comes OF a
decided advantage. The untroubled
and serene mind is to be sedulously
cultivated In these stirring times

HISTORY WROUGHT IN STONE
Marvels OF French Architecture Which
the Uneivilized Hordes of Ger
many Would Destroy.

In architecture France is supreme.
It well may be said that without
France there would have been no Goth
ic architecture. The cathedrals Of
France are absolutely unrivaled, says
Cass Gilbert in the Worlds Work. One
has only to mention the names Of No
tire Dame de Paris, Bourges, Reims,
Chartres, Rouen, Amiens, Beauvais and
Coutances to bring up memories of mir
acles of creative design which no
words can fittingly characterize or de-
scribe.
Wonders of constructive ingenuity
as they are, they have yet more su-
preme significance as evidence Of the
refinement and taste of people In
stlnct with emotion and ennobled by
idealism in Its most exalted phase.
These great buildings give expression
to the spiritual aspirations Of great
people.
They ore constructions Of superb
scale and fascinating beauty, embel-
lished by tracery and arabesque, cary
ing and inlay, stained glass, tapestry,
bronze and iron of marvellous crafts
manship and exquisite design. They
are the product of thousand years
of faultess taste, the contribution Of
innumerable thousands Of craftsmen
devoted to the glory Of God and the
love of France. And 1t Is this glorious
nation that the hordes Of Germany
would destroy.

LANDMARK IN CITY OF PENN
Many Philadelphia Citizens Would
Deeply Regret the Passing Of
Famous Old Alehouse.

Some Philadelphians of sentimental
and convivial turn are disposed to re-
gard the possible advent Of prohibi-
ton with gloomy mien, If for no other
reason than because 1t would mean
the passing of the Old Ale House. on
Drury street near Thirteenth.
1t is not age that gives flavor to the
Old Ale House. The legend on the
rusty signboard which states that it
was established by Mary MCCLELLAN in
1870 does not count for much in
city where many taverns can trace
direct lineage from the days Of Penn.
1t is rather the garment Of tradition
with which the old taproom has cov-
cred itself.
1t was there that this and that
heavyweight signed articles for an i'm
mortal bout. It YVES there that poll
ticians hatched celebrated deal
about which newspaper editorials are
still being written aid public speeches
still being made. 1t was there that
many young genius found the inspf-
ration which changed him from a bo-
hemian hack to successful author.
Over it all Mother" MCCLELLAN pre-
sided with discipline at once gentle
and stern. The brawls were rare.
The Old Ale House Is no less land
mark than q sight. The visitor is usu-
ally taken there in the early after
noon, and while he sips the ale from
his mug the attentive guide recounts
the history, adding line or two from
personal "reminiscences. The Me House
seems to fit oil moods and to attract q
variety of minds. 1t is furnished in
mission wood after the fashion Of the
English inns Of tho eighteenth CEN
tury, but that is as far as an attempt
at atmosphere has been made.

They Don't Have to See the Flag.

When one is as patriotic and re-

Within Sound of the Guns.

A new sound arose in the darkness,
sound which held for me q thrill as
vital and incomparaDly more alluring
than the hint of distant battle. 1t rose
slowly, q rich, mellow undulation,
which stirred every fiber, and then
quavered, descended and broke off. We
stood motionless, listening with all our
ears, and again it came, Enthusiastically,
from the depths Of the misty woods.
My companion smiled at me in tri-
umph. His first surprise had come off
promptly, even ahead of time, for it
was only now growing dusk. We could
see in Imagination the dropped tail, the
hollow-cheeked muzzle raised skyward

HOW ESKIMO SOLDIER DIED
RraveIy Fighting In France for Lib
erty; His People Should Be
Proud Of Him.

Here is the story of how Great Brit
aims only Eskimo soldier fell IN
France. John Shiwak was the hero's
name and when the great war started
he heard the call In far-off Labrador
and before many months had gone by
he was in an English training camp.
Some weeks later he was on his way
to France. full Of ardor. His death
occurred in the Cambrai tank drive.
The tanks were held up by the canal
before Masnieres and Johns company
was ordered to rush narrow bridge
that had unaccountably been left stand
ing. John. chief sniper for the bat
TALON, lately promoted to lance cor
poral, the muscular man of the wilds,
outpaced his comrades. The battalion
still argue which was the first to reach
the bridge, John or another. But John
reached the height of the little arch
and turned to wave his companions
on.
1t was deadly corner of the battle
lioits ihC Nel iHuuS, SIuutcu u UIcutH-
ing space by the obstacle of the canal
were rallying. Big shells were drop
ping everywhere, scores of machine
guns were barking across the narrow
line Of protecting water. And just
beyond the bridgehead, in among the
trees, the enemy had erected plat
forms In tiers, bearing machine guns.
As John stood, his helmet awry, his
mouth open in shouts of encourage
ment unheard amid the din, the deadly
group of guns broke loose. That was
why the bridge had been left.
The Eskimo swayed, bent little,
then slowly sank. But even as he lay
they saw his hand point ahead. And
then he lay still. And they passed
him on the bridge, lying straight and
peaceful, gone to a better hunting
ground than he had ever anticipated.

Use Found for Opera Hats.

From q French inventor comes an
advertising sign in which an opera hat
Is Its housing. The sides of the hat
are cut so that letters are removed
that spell out the words of the sign.
These letter holes are covered over
with thin light fabric Of the same
color as the hat. When unlighted the
letters remain invisible, but with one
or more battery lamps placed inside
and lighted, the hat becomes conspic-
uous advertisement, The batteries
may be carried in the pocket and wired
under the coat to the neck and up to
the hat over the hair on the back OF
the head. The current can be flashed
on and off with switch In the coat

sure to attract attention.--Popular Sci

These centers are near the canton

The Bureau of Social Morality is an
important feature Of the War Work
Councils program under the present
abnormal conditions. That ignorance
Is no shield to a girl Is well known to
its members. Instead, 1t Is her gravest
peril. Any situation shrouded in mys.
terry Is dangerous. Women can deal
only with what they understand. A
true social morality must be built OF
a foundation of knowledge. and be
inspired by high aims.
Fourteen women physicians are
talking to groups Of parents, school
girls, and industrial women. These
lecturers bend their best efforts 20
spreading information on social ideals.
Colored women at this time must
meet all the problems confronting
white women. Their situation is fur.
ther complicated by industrial and
social conditions. Special clubs are
being formed among colored girls in
the neighborhood of cantonments.
Workers are being placed in industrial
centers like Louisville, Kentucky, and
Hopewell, Virginia.
Immigrant men who formerly Ia
bored in mines, on farms, and in fac
tories, and now serve in our army are,
themselves, in need Of assistance.
Foreign men marry young and many,
even of the young ones, have large
families dependent upon them. Be-
cause of these helpless families, the
War Work Council has translators
who go into the camps.
The activities Of the War Work
| Council could not be confined to our
own country. Our American nurses
in France need the Y. w. G. A. social
workers, Even the most self-reliant
women must have help at the front
where women's welfare is matter Of

Manners Can Be Acquired.

An English critic says that the ath'
letic girl has no manners and has other
faults. But after the brilliant show
ing of little Baltimore girl lately in
rescuing several children slngle-hand-
ed from q burning house, rescue
made possible by her practice at ath-
letic exercises, the lack Of polish more
or less can be easily forgotten. Man.
ners can always be acquired, but it
demands very quick action and ability
to save lives. The mistake of such
critics is to lay the blame on athletics
when that blame is due to entirely diff
ferent causes. The old idea that gen
tleness went with weakness and wom-
anllness with timldity Is now exploded.

DEEM PICTURE OUT or PLACE
British Authorities Request Removal
of kaiser's Portrait From
Tonga Kings Palace.

Germany's interesting relations with
the little kingdom of Tonga in the
South Pacific are recalled by recent
incidents there. A few years back q
life-size portrait of the kaiser mounted
within a massive gilt frame was pre-
sented by the German government to
King George Tuboa II, the present
ruler of the archipelago. Forthwith
this picture adorned the walls of the
wooden palace at Nukualofa, the cap
ital Of the kingdom. Germans-who,
shortly before the war, were rather
conspicuous in Tonga--were wont to
admire the painting when they came
to pay their respects to King George.
Moreover, close at hand were busts Of
Emperor Frederick of Germany and
Prince Won Bismarck. So delightfully."-
informal In many ways Is the Tongan
court that the busts did excellent serv-
ice as hat racks on festive occasions.
But not so with the present from the
"All Highest" But alack for the big
picture Of the kaiser in little Tonga
After the war had been in progress for
some time the fact Of It's existence and
whereabouts came within the purview
of the British government and that
government requested the Tongan gov
ernment to remove 1t from the palace.
The pith of this request was that Ton
60 is British protectorate. But not

tectorate 1t is the last independent
kingdom in the Pacific, and it prfdes
itself on having not only monarch

Everyone knows that Boston is a
great center of copper mining, and
that New York is the center Of oil
other mining industries of the coun-
try, but few realize that either of these
cities have opportunities to mine for
anything except subways at home. 1t
seems, however, that New York's ex-
traordinary activities In the mining
business must have received their first
impetus not from Wall street, but from
a varied experience gained in dealing
with the rock Of Manhattan.
More than 118 varieties of minerals
and several kinds of gems have been
found on the island, according to
Electrical Experimenter. Aquama-
rines weighing III karats have been
found at Broadway and One Hundred

ing possibilities at Broadway and One
Hundred and Seventy-siXth street are
almost unlimited. Green tourmaline
gems, magnetic and iron ore, chal-
copyrite, malachlte, pyrrhotite and

found there.

Cost of Enrolling a Soldier.

Figures compiled from the records
of the first draft show that 1t cost
the government almost exactly 50
for each man drafted. according to
Popular Science Monthly. All but 7
cents Of this amount represents the
expense Of the draft boards. In COM
parison with this, II Is interesting to
learn that the volunteer system OF
recruiting cost S24.4s per man in 1914,
s19.14in 1915 and s2s.95 between July,
1915, and April, 1917. These latter
figures, however, included the recruits
