CAUGHT SPIRIT OF OCCASION
Colored Porter Meant That Eagle
Should Shine in Celebration Of
American Victory.

It happened after the news that thu
allied forces were chasing the army
OF the crown prince. There was great
rejoicing on the steps Of the custom
house building. Everybody was shak
Ing the hand of everybody else. The
man who had never before been known
to lose his dignity was pulling the hail
of the office boy and whooping it up
generally.
All of which was at first rather in
comprehensive to the colored portea
Of the building. He didn't know just
what it was all about, but it looked
good to him, nevertheless. Finally, he
seemed to "get" it. With the agility
of cat he climbed one Of the ped
estals at the front of the building.
On the top is bronze globe. with
spread eagle over 1t. Hanging pre-
cariously on the ledge the negro pull
ed grimy cloth out of one pocket
and a can of paste out of another.
Then with vim and vigor that had
never before characterized any of his
actions he began polishing away at the
eagles head. While he polished he
talked:
"Oh, lady, lady, we're goln' make
you shine! Oh, lady, that shinc'll take
the eyes out dem Germans, On, lady,
that head o. your'n is goin' Il be some
bright I"
And the other celebran's stopped to
cheer him.-New York TirleS.

Says Hunting Dogs and
Common Ours Possess War
Service Qualifications

French war dogs are not the only
ones that could be taught to do great
service in the world struggle" re-
marked III. r. Turner, Kentuckian,
discussing the marvellous feats per-
formed by some Of the dogs on the
battlefields of France.
"The dog of America commonly
called cur has instinct for such SER
vice. Some patriotic women in the
West have undertaken to train dogs
for Red Cross work, and they have
found that the cur dog is possessed
Of all the natural qualifications for
war service. But, in my judgment,
the Kentucky hunting dog is better
adapted for this work than any other
because Of his wonderful instincts. A
few years ago sportsman Of Iowa
had hunting dog bred in Kentucky.
1t was an unusually fine dog and dur
ing the racing season in Kentucky he
sent his dog back to Kentucky to take
part In the fox chasing. After the
sport was over the friends to whom
the animal had been sent lost him.
They were much perturbed, because
they had promised they would see
that the dog was sent safe back home
to Iowa. After many days Of search
ing, however, they sent word to the
owner that the animal had disap'
peared. Sixty days afterward they
were informed that the dog had re.
turned to his home In Iowa."

Talking PhotopIays Next;
Eliminates the Photograph
and UtiIizeS Film Record

Numerous attempts have been made
to link the monograph with the pro-
jector and give speech to the silent
drama. Inability to obtain perfect
synchronism of sound and motion has
been only one of the bugabOos en-
countered. The limited capacity Of
talking-machine records, the difficulty
of simplifying the sound sufficiently
for theater purposes without increas-
ing the foreign noises to an objection
able degree, and the impossibility of
cutting or mending a film without de-
stroying the usefulness of the sound
record have been other Of the bewild-
ering enigmas. Their solution has
finally been undertaken in a new way
and highly promising results attained.
The newest system Of talking cine
photography eliminates the monograph
and utilizes a film record that is pro-
duced by Photographic and rendered
by magnetic, instead Of mechanical,
means. This enables the sound and
the picture records to be Of correspond
ing lengths and synchronOus. This
method is described in the March Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine.

that its makeup carries little nicotine
continues to grow In popularity.

that it's makeup carries little nicotine
continues to grow in popularity.
But there are not few uses for
tobacco other than smoking, chewing,
and snuffing, and nearly all of these
demand weed that has lots of poison
in it. Florists buy thousands Of
pounds every year to burn in smolder-
ing piles In their greenhouses to kill
insects and eradicate the tiny moths
that lay eggs that produce plant de-
stroyers. And 1t is the nicotine in the
smoke that kills the pests.
Nicotine is about the most efficacious
remedy when garden plants are at
tackled by sucking insects. These de-
strOyers cannot be harmed by eating
foliage and stems with paris green and
arsenic Of lead, for they have long,
sharp beaks; some carry prObOs-
cises proportiOnately as long as
an elephants, and these they drive
into leaf and blossom stems and suck
out the vital juices. Only a contact
poison will kill them, and nicotine does
it most surely. A green or pink or
white plant louise, busily sucking the
life out of a plant, turns brown the
instant nicotine touches his body,
stiffens his legs, draws out his beak,
and drops dead.
Tobacco solutions that carry 80 per
cent Of nicotine sell for $1.50 pint,
hence the ambition to grow tobacco
rich in the deadly essence.
