"MAKE GOOD" WITH CHILDREN
Scheme of Life That Is a Beautiful
Thing for Both Parents and
Offspring.

From year to year we find every.
where constantly growing apprecia-
ton by parents of their responsibility.
1t is not the kind of a responsibility
really that puts blue specs on life and
blurs the distant road, but is the kind
of responsibility that makes father
want the companionship of his son and
the mother the condolences Of her
daughter. The parent knows it cannot
have these things without getting and
holding, truly earning, the child's re
spect.
A man of affairs, the father of three
boys, told me just few days ago OF
certain things he had to do that just
then he did not feel that he could
spare the time nor the money to do,
But he said, "Tve got to make good
with my boys"
Making good" with your children Is
about as good thing as any parent
can do. 1t means keeping a grip on
your temper, discretion in your speech
and sunshine in your heart. And that
is scheme of life good for you both.

THOSE oPEN-WlNDoW CRANKS
Writer Gives 1t as His Opinion That
They Are Actuated Solely by
Selfishness.

One of the most pronounced nuts,
ances with which seasoned travellers on
railroad trains have to contend is the
"open-window crank" This fellow
for he is usually male instead of a
female-persists In having his window
open, no matter whether other occu-
pants of the car dislike it or not; and
it usually results in the other passen'
gers thereabout receiving liberal sup
ply Of dust and fine cinders, as well
as enough soft coal smoke to last them
the remainder of their lives. These
open-window cranks are almost always
occasional travellers. 1t is noticed by
those who have taken the pains to OBJ
serve that the regular traveler-thnt
is, the man who rides every day in
summer-never opens the window be-
side the seat in which he is riding. 1t
does not mean any more comfort for
him to do so, as he long ago discov'
cred, but much discomfort instead.
AS soon as a railroad car starts to
move there is more or less air stirring
and if the open-window cranks would
Ouly GOlhpOSS klGLnSSlNSS u lCW AiO
ments they would be far more COM
Portable than they would to breathe
coal dust, smoke and cinders. But the
average occasional traveller will push
up his window as soon as he enters the
car.
1t makes no difference to him how
much the rest of the car suffers-he Is
the only one to be considered. 1t is a
practice that causes great discomfort
to passengers who have the necessary
sense to know that everybody is better
off If the windows are closed on hot
days. And 1t is always noticed that
| these open-window artists invariably
leave the window open when they de
part. The first, last and only thought
is for themselves-no one else counts.

H|NDENBURG LINE
RIPPED WIDE Open
GERMANY,s ENTIRE WEST LINE
cRUMBLEs FOLLOWING At
TACK BY ALLIED FORCES.
ST. Quentin is Freed of Huns, Cambria
in British Hands, Lille Being
Evacuated and Belgium
Cleared of Germans.

Parfs.-The boosted strength OF the
Hindenburg line seems to have been
oyerestimated by the Huns, as the
allied forces are going through, having
ripped the line open for eight miles,
the entente soldiers pouring through
the gaps.
The whole of St Quentin is now in
the hands of the French, Cambria IS
in British hands, and the Germans
have evacuated Lille.
1t is believed it will not be long
now until the Germans have been
driven from French and Belgian soil,
back beyond their own border.
The Matin announces that the Ger
mans are evacuating Lille and that the
commander there has requisitioned all
means of transportation, even wheel
barrows and baskets, 20 take away the
booty. The newspaper adds that the
evacuation of the townspeople to Bel
gian towns near the German border
is being pursued hastily.
A dispatch from the Dutch border
asserts that the German governor gen
eral in Belgium has given secret in
structions to the governors of the
provinces to send hastily all German
archives to Brussels.
Allied aviators have flown over
Brussels, dropping thousands of
pamphlets telling the public to have a
little more patience-that their hour
of liberation is near.
The continuation by the entente al
lied forces of their brilliant achieve
ments in restoring Belgian Flanders
and the expulsion of the er envy from
further territory in France, from the
region of Cambria to Verdun, evident
ly has brought the Germans to the
realization that the great bend in the
line from Menin to the east of Arras
is likely to prove another spch trap as
was the st. Mihiel salient unless they
are fast enough of foot to move east
ward, giving up Lille, Lens and Douai,
and straighten their line from the vi
entity of Cambrai to Belgium.
On all the other six battlefronts
from Belgium to Yerdun the entente
forces are keeping up their successful
| advances, although the Germans
| everywhere, except northwest OF
| Rheims, have materially stiffened
their front and are offering strong re-
sistance to further inroads into theil
territory.

The belief that by so doing She would

He expressed his pleasure at the fate
OF Bulgaria, which, he said, had thrown
IN her lot with the Teutonlc allies
through covetous motives.

Force Of COMPRESSED AM.

The effects of air resistance are
well known in the twelve and one
half mile Simplon tunnel, where an
exceptionally high amount of energy
is required for running the electric
trains. The tunnel, which is fifteen
feet wide and eighteen feet high
with sectional area of two hundred
and fifty square feet, has q ventilat
Ing current of $3.50 cubic feet of all
per second, maintained by two large
blast fans at the Brig end and two
exhaust fans at Iselle. Trains going
with this current encounter less re
sistance than in open air up to fifteen
and a half miles an hour, but at
higher speeds or in the opposite direc.
ton the resistance is much greater
than outside. Coasting by gravity
down the seven per one thousand
maximum gradient, a train, even go
ing with the current, cannot exceed
thirty-five miles per hour on account
OF the braking by the air.
