STATUS OF MEN

The work OF reclsssifying regis

Gus boards OF the State is small at the

men needed in this class.
A draft Official said today that the
work Of classifying and reclasifying

registrant may be in the deferred

his mother. Tomorrow his mother
may die an I be moved from the de-

and the registrant transferred to the

Some people believe that when

take. These men are placed in the de-

FIERCE WAR OVER elephant
People Of Siam and Pegu contended
for Generation to Secure Pos
session Of the Animal.

Believing that Buddha lived again
in the body of a white elephant, de-
vastating war was fought in the six
teenth century between Siam and Pegu
for possession Of the unhandsOme an.
imal. For a generation the struggle
continued, and in it five kings came to
the throne, only to die together with
thousands Of their subjects. A white
elephant is exceedingly rare, but is SIM
ply an albino and by no means snow
"Olored. In 1888 Barnum, not from re-
ligious motive, brought one from ST.
am at q cost Of 100000.
Frequent mention is made Of ele.
plants in the history of ancient wars.
The Roman armies fled at their first ap-
pearance in their early conflicts with
the Carthaginians, but by the use of
torches soon learned to break up a
charge of the huge beasts. Alexan-
der encountered them in his conquest
Of Asia.
The elephant looks stupid and his
brain is small for his size, only as
large as mans, but it is highly de-
veloped. and few animals are more in
telligent. They are used as beasts of
burden in India, where they are regard
ed with superstitious awe by their
drivers.

British Aviators Think Little OF Dan

Lieut., Richard Aveline Maybery. Ian

airdromes In succession at very low al
titudes and inflicting considerable dam
age, attacked and dispersed number
of mounted men and then attacked q
freight train. He next attacked ana

feet, and before returning attacked

Second Lieut.. Walbanke A. Pritt,
r. f. c., in attacking hostile ar
drome dropped bombs from very low
altitude and attacked and destroyed
two enemy machines almost as soon as
they had left the ground. A machine
gun then opened upon him from the

tackled. Both on his outward and
homeward journey he was under very
heavy fire. Once he attacked mo-
torcar and shot one of the occupants
from about fifty feet, afterward attack

ing severe casualties upon them.
Second Lieut.. Alexander A. N. Pent-

Finland's New Flag.

The Russian revolution will probably
result in frightening the list Of the
worlds flags by several additions. Fin
land, which, since March, has ceased
to be a grand duchy and has declared
her independence and status as re-
public. has now decided on her national
colors. She will have three different
standards: the national flag. the flag
of the merchant service, and that of
the pilot and customs services. The
national colors are those which were
acclaimed at the time of the revolu-
ton, the yellow lion Of Finland sur
rounded by nine white roses on red
ground. The flag of the merchant
service will have yellow perpendicu-
lar cross on a red ground and in the
top right-hand corner, nine white roses
set symmetrically in three rows. The
pilot and customs services flag will be
the same except that it will carry the
yellow Of Finland instead Of the white
roses.

MUCH extravaganza IN PENS
But Oliver Wendell Holmes Is Said to
Have Written Twelve Million
Words With One.

For two years." announces one OF
those eccentric persons who make a
business of collecting strange and star
Ting facts, "Thackeray did all his writ
ing with one pen, which also served
him for writing two novels. Oliver
Wendell Holmes used gold pen for
more than thirty years, during which
he wrote 100000 words"
That, we may consider, is genuine
pen conservation, and it may be typical
Of general economy that was far
more prevalent in the days Of Thack-
cray and Holmes than it is today, OBJ
serves a writer in the Providence
Journal. Pens in the last quarter GEN.
fury have come to be rather lightly es-
teemed by most persons who find a
continual use for them. One throws
away an old pen and puts new one
in the penholder with little thought Of
the potential waste. A gold pen, Of
course. is exceptionally durable, as a
rule, but the one that performed serv-
ice for Doctor Holmes for more than
thirty years must have been marvel.
Anyway, it was obviously far better
one than the one that served Thack-
cray for only two years. His was prob
ably an old-time quill pen, but even
then a quill pen that would last
through the writing Of two novels as
extensive as those produced by Thack-
cray must be regarded with profound
respect.
This economy in the use Of writing
utensils seems awe-inspiring today. In
the past ten years we personally have
knocked out two typewriters and have
started on our third and in that time
have probably turned out less than
half the number Of words that Doctor
Holmes produced with his little old
gold pen. And when you come to think
Of the comparative values of the words
the reflection becomes positively hui
initiating.

Of the bird next were fastened to his

Character and Obedience.

Character is grounded on obedience.
All the human derelicts stranded on
the rocks of life came to wreck be-
cause of continued disObedience to the
chart of right living. Wrecked lives
are directly chargeable to the parents,
who did not compel obedience during
the formative period Of childhood. In
siste0ce on a course of action lays the
foundation for obedience during in
fancy, but as soon as the child de-
velops reasoning power something
more than mere insistence is needed to
develop obedience.
Parental commands are laws which
rule the domain of childhood and. like
the laws of a nation, they are Obeyed
in the degree that they are believed to
be reasonable and just. The child is a
rational human being, however much
we may ignore his capacity for reason.
and our commands must be founded on
reason If we are to expect reasonable
compliance with them.-Mother's Mag
azine.
