LIFE REVOLVES ABOUT CLUBS
institutions in Havana Have an lnflu-
ence Probably Not Felt in
Any other City.

In Havana the whole political, social
and commercial life pivots on the clubs.
They are a tremendous influence in
every way. They are Of all kinds, Of
all sizes, of all degrees Of expensive
ness and exclusiveness. The largest
are the so-called "centros," which were
founded under Spanish rule, by men of
Spanish birth, in order to furnish a
bond and a meeting place for men
from the same province of Spain. Thus
the "Centro Gallego" was founded for
Galicians, and the "Centro AstruinO"
for Austrians. The former of these is
now the largest club In the world.
Besides these centres, there are nu-
merous other sorts of clubs. There are
clubs for the laboring man, where for
$1.5O Month he gets not only the So
cial and convivial privileges of the club
house, but benefit and protective insur-
ance, night school advantages for his
family, hospital for himself, even the
services of dentists and opticians. One
club goes so far as to maintain an
asylum. On the other hand exclusive
clubs of the conventional type are not
laclling-clubs for the rich, yacht clubs,
athletic clubs and political clubs. Ha-
vana's motto seems to be: ''To each
man club according to his needs"
Practically without exception these
clubs, large and small, have housed
themselves in beautiful buildings.
White marble walls, statuary and mu-
raj painting, pillared halls and foun-
tanned courtyards reflect the artistic
spirit of Latin America. Havana's clubs
go far toward making her beautiful
city.

MEANING OF JACOBITE TOAST
Glasses Raised to "the Little Gentle
man in Velvet" Had Peculiar
Significance Centuries Ago.

"To the little gentleman in velvet
was q favorite Jacobite toast in the
reign of Queen Anne. By 'the little
gentleman in velvet" the Jacobites
meant the mole that raised the hum
mock against which the horse of King
William III civilian Of Orange)
stumbled while riding in Hampton
court. The king was thrown heavily
to the ground, breaking his collar bone.
A severe illness ensued under which
the kings feeble constitution gave
way, and he died early in the year
1902. He left no children and the
crown passed to Anne, sister of Will
liams deceased wife, Queen Mary, and
a daughter of the deposed king, James
II. 1t was the plan of the Jacobites
to bring back to the throne James the
Pretender, son, it was claimed, OF
James II by his second wife, Mary of
Modena. The execution of their plans
was not attempted until the house of
Hanover came to the throne. The at
tempt of the Pretender James in 1715
was a miserable failure, but the at
tempt of his son, Prince Charlie, in
1745, was a more formidable affair. He
collected considerable force in Scot
land, invaded England and reached
Derby before compelled to retreat. He
was finally defeated at Culloden.

Soup Eatinu Lost Art.

Owing to the high cost of ingredf-
ents soup eating may Become a lost
art. America today holds the medal
for spectacular and musical soup eat
ing. There is no nation so accom-
plished in the art of eating soup audi
bly, as ours. No race of people extant
can eat soup and keep up steady con-
versation without stopping it on its
shirt bosom) as successfully as the
American. A foreign writer once re-
marked that he dearly loved to hear
an American eat soup. Some nations
drink their broth and bouillon in 81
lence ,or sop it up noiselessly with
bread, thus robbing the process Of all
it's interest. But America blows its
broth cool, then musically sucks 1t
from the spoon, allowing it to hit the
base of the empty stomach with the
chug of pile driver. The way some
of us strain soup through our mus
taches is decidedly artistic. But, like
many of the lost arts of our aborigines,
the doom of soup eating is In sight

Frenchman Invented Microphone.

The inventor of the fundamental
principle of the microphone on the
modern telephone is said to have been
the Able Rouselot, a French phoneti-
clan, born at Saint Cloud (Charente)
in 1916. He became a vicar and cur
ate at Cognac and Jarrezac, then as
sistant professor of French philology
at the Catholic institute of Paris, and
two years later he opened the first
course of experimental phonetics ever
established. In 1897 he was appointed
director of the laboratory of expert
mental phonetics at the College de
France, the plan for which originated
with him. He is the inventor of pho
netic instruments, the maker of sew
eral discoveries tending to cure deaf
ness and suffering and the author Of
a number of works on his speciality.

Last Word in Perforation.

1 have heard of towns in our own
wild and woody West that have been
"shot-up." But -- is surely the
last word in complete and scientific
perforation. In July, 1914, it was
happy, thriving community of 35,OO0
or 10000 inhabitants, a smiling town,
with a wonderful Grand place and a
picturesque Petit place, noble Gothic
cathedral and splendid town hall.
Round the Grand place ran quad
rangle of colonnaded houses of sur
passing architectural beauty. For the
rest, the town was typically French,
by which / mean a complex of neat
stores and dwelling houses, churches
and factories, schools and estaminets
(cafes). Today there is not solitary
building Of any kind in the whole town
that is not entirely or partially wreck
ed. There is not single thing OF
wood, brick or stone that is intact.
Not more than 1900 or 1000 people
live there now, and they must hide In
cellars most of the time, lest Boche
shells search them out. Death turks
in every street, even though the Brit
ish have held it for more than two
years and have extended their lines
beyond it considerably during the past
few months. Though they have long
since turned the town into scraps OF
its former self, the Germans seem filled
with an Unsuitable lust to fiatten out
even the scraps. You walk through
the Grand place, hugging close to the
walls by order of your army guide, in
perpetual danger that souvenir from
Krupps will land at your feet and send
fragments of you flying into the
ethereal eternal. But you are only
living the life that the British garrison
and indomitable little civilian rear
guard of 1,5C0 or 1000 people-mostly
old men and women too fragile to seek
a safer abode further behind the lines
are living day in and day out.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE
of the Niqilantes.

Somewhere in France"-1 never
imagined in the widest flights of fan
cy about war that to gain an objective
under modern battle conditions an
army has not to lay waste a position
or a village but practically country
side. You can motor nowadays for
hours. in the region generally known
as the British front, sweep the land
scape for miles in every direction, and
see nothing but ruins of what used to
be human habitations. Your guides
point to scattered dump of brick,
mortar, twisted timbers, indiscrimi-
nate rubbish of all sorts, lining either
side of the roadway along which you
are spinning. Here and there at IT.
regular intervals the bare, charred re-
mains of what once were trees stick
up from amid the debris and the
chaos. There is not suggestion OF
standing wall anywhere, nor even OF a
door or window-frame, and, of course,
no semblance of roof. There are
only cellars into which houses, shops,
churches, stores, schools-everything
have been thrown into a crazy hold
all of a town-wide grave.

of a place prominent in the fighting

or months ago-now wiped from the
face of the earth as effectually as II
honest French peasants and villagers
had never striven through the genera
tions to make a comfortable abode for
themselves and theirs. One hopes that
the ministering angels permitted them
to eyacuate the town before their
homes were splintered and crushed by
15-inch death-dealers. One wonders
how many human remains may still lie
buried beneath the wreckage of beams
and sandstone. One speculates
whether men, women and children who
contrived to escape the shells Will
ever again be able to start life with
their dwellings, places of business and
cultivated fields mangled and devas-
tated. One is persuaded that stupen-
dous as is the work of destruction
wrought by twentieth century warfare,
the task of reconstruction will be
enormously more gigantic still. Towns
that took years to make have been
shot to pieces in an hour.
