Are you coming out on the front
porch. dear?'
Elizabeth started nervously at the
sound of Mrs. Chapins voice in the
door OF the kitchen.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," the matrou
added. suddenly remembering that
Elizabeth had not assisted at the
departure of the son of the house

him 'Good-by,'"
The girl smiled. You mean he

She immediately regretted her
words, tor she saw that the devoted
mother feared her sons negligence
had hurt this young thing,
That's too bad" Mrs, Chaplin
soothed, Il guess he was so full of
getting off that he never thought
. a thing about it. No doubt he'll send
some message back by Mr.. Butler
Elizabeth smiled again. You
must not suppose that l mind, dear
Mrs. Chaplin. she said, To tell the
truth, l stayed in the kitchen on
purpose. When people who love one
another are parting. strangers are
best out OF the way. 1 know l do not
want anybody around when l have
TO say good-by to my dear brother"
Mrs. Chaplin sasped, then laughed.

been so careful lately not to men
ton your brother that l was ac-
,1uahy scared when you spoke OF
him. Il forgot there wasn't any
body around but you and me-and
Pa"-as Amos Chaplin appeared in
the doorway.
What's that you're talking
about" he queried.
The wife explained, adding: Mr..
Buffers always on hand lately, so
that I've got out of the habit of talk
Ing about DIR. Wade. But 1 don't
think he suspects a thing"
Your son does" Elizabeth in
formed her gravely. He told me
he did"
Amos looked startled. cliff told
you that-did he?"
Yes" she answered, moving to-
ward the stairs. Il think I will go
up to bed now, if you will excuse
me. I am tired. and It's getting
late"
\ Family Scene
Wait" Amos detained her. His
eyes betrayed anxiety. What did
Cliff say?"
oh" with assumed indifference,
'he did not say very much. He was
evidently under the impression that
my brother had no right to send me
here 10 board. He said something to
the effect that ought TO be ashamed
OF his action-or mine-I don't re-
member which. 1t occurred to me
that Douglas would hardly be
pleased by your sons attitude"

she talked, noting the effect of her
remarks. Had she wished to cause

WYE ALL know funny stories
wv about the dreadful children
who talked too much when the
minister or some other important
parsonage was a guest at dinner
and some of them. alas. are all too
truel
You may enjoy your childrens
chatter just because they are your
children and you love them, but
when there are guests you often be-
come painfully aware that it is only
chattering after all. So the ques-
ton arises whether children should
sit at the family table. One mother
writes:
II have spoken with various moth
ers of we'll behaved children and
find they admit that talking at the
table may increase the child's vo-
cabulary but assert that, no matter
how we'll young children be trained,
they could not use judgment and the
practice had to be discontinued. What
plan would you advise me to adopt?
AS regular policy, children
should sit at the family table. but
they should learn not to monopoliZe
the conversation. Sentences and 81
lences-these are beautiful. Teach
your children to speak when they
have something to say-not just to
think aloud. why don't you say
something. Laura ?" a grownup ask
ed one little girl in my presence.
Because" the wise child answered.
IT have nothing to say" This child
at least was not a chatterer
For the sake of the health of the
adults as we'll as for the sake of the
JOY of the children. weighty matters
should not be discussed at the table.
This too often is about the only
time when all members of the fam
lily meet together and it should be an
especially happy time.
In order to guard against too much
talk at the table by children, when
there are guests. say something like
this to them: mfr. and Mrs. Brown
are going to be here for dinner to-

Just after the English passed their
conscription law / was called TO see
the Kaiser at the Great Army Head
quarters, which at that time were
at Pless. Although the war had
then lasted two or three times as
long as the Germans had expected,
the Kaiser masked the depression
he must have felt by putting on
bold front.
How foolish for England to start
conscription now" he declared. She
thinks she can accomplish in few
months what it has taken Germany
a hundred years to attain. Armies
and officers cannot be developed over
night. We have never stopped pre-
pairing since the days of Frederick
the Great!"
Yes, your Majesty, but the North
crn States in our Civil War put in
conscription two years after the be-
ginning of the war" / suggested.
But just look how long your war
lasted" the Kaiser replied quickly.
This war won't last that long. The
Allies will feel what the power of
Germany is long before English con-
scription can avail them anything"
And while England is slowly

the Kaiser went on, she will see
Americas navy and merchant ma
rine constantly growing and the dol
lar replacing the pound as the unit
of the worlds finance. No, Davis,
England will soon be sick of the
war and will look with fear upon
Americas growing power!"
The inspired German press ridi-
culed the possibility that England
could build up an army by conscrip-
ton. Pictures of loafers from Hyde
Park, London. were printed in the
German papers as ludicrous samples
of the kind of material out Of which
England was trying to form an army.
and the suggestion was made that
she would put the Turcos and Singa-
lese in the front trenches and keep
her 9mateur army in the rear.
The French army was too gener-
ally belittled. and the Russians were
believed to be absolutely negligible.
The French army was so poorly
it was pointed out, that
the officers had to go to the field in
patent leather boots, and on the

Enemy Agents Put Cinders
on Geared Ways for

Discovered in Time
Secret Service Men Believe
Worker in Kearny Plant At
tempted to Damage Vessel

NEWARK, March 20.-Enemy plot
ters are said to have made an attempt
to damage the Coyote, first wooden
ship of the emergency fleet programme.
when that vessel was launched yester-
day in TIE yards Of the Foundation
Company, at Kearny.
Federal Secret Service operatives,
directed by United States District At
torney Lynch, have begun an investl-
cation into the charges. 1t is reported
that just before the Coyote slid down
the ways an inspection disclosed that
cinders had been mixed with the tallow
used to grease the ways.
This discovery, made just in time,
the report recounts, delayed the
launching of the Coyote one hour, and
had the cinders not been removed
might have caused serious damage TO
if not the destruction of the vessel.
Experts said to-day that the friction

They believe it was an inside job. tn e
work Of one of the night shift. which
had been busy throughout Monday
night preparing the vessel for the
launching.
For distance of 100 feet in the
centre of the ways the cinders were
sprinkled plentifully. This was done
during the night. the official. says,
because the ways were creased on
Monday afternoon.
1t was said yesterday that several
days before the Coyote left the ways
threat was made that the ship never
would be launched. For this reason
an extra guard was ordered for it,
and how the cinders could have been
placed is beyond the comprehension OF
the yard officials.
The theory that an outsider might
have evaded the guard and made the
attempt TO DESTROY the vessel is dis.
counted by District Attorney. Lynch.
He believed this to be impossible. No
arrests have vet been made.
