APPEALED TO GIRLS VANITY
Department Store CLERK Proved That
He Had Some Little knowledge
of Human Nature.

Among nonessential citizens, a place
must be given to the summer girl who
does all her swimming on the beach,
In silken toys which never could stand
the cruel ocean waves. Whether this
type is still in existence or not Is a
question, but at any rate a CONVERSE
ton overheard recently in a depart
ment store gives ground for suspicion.
The ambitious clerk was selling a
high-priced bathing suit and was man
aging the operation in a masterful way.
She finally pinned her victim, a fuzzy
girl, down to a choice between two !;
one was blue with green trimmings,
the other purple with white.
"Do you ever have photos taken in
your bathing suit?" asked the clerk.
why, sometimes" said the girl,
mystifed.
"Well," said the inspired clerk, "the
reason | ask is because often girls
have said that they want suits with
contrasting colors because they show
up so much better in the pictures,
That's why you might like this pur-
pie with the white border better thar
the other, which wouldn't show VI
nearly so well. l didn't know whether
you had thor Ii about 1t or not, bu.

TARS SEEM TO THRIVE ON A
DIET OF INFLUENZA" GERMS

A press dispatch dated Boston, De-
cember 13, says: Experiments under
taken by the Navy Department at the
navy public health service hospital on
Gallups Islands to ascertain the cause
and spread of influenza have had
merely negative results, according to
a report given out today.
One hundred volunteers who have
been under observation for several
weeks have had influenza germs
placed in their nostrils and threats
and have eaten them with their food
and some have been inoculated with
germs, but no cases of the disease
have developed thus far.
Increased appetite and more vigor-
GUS health have been the only notice
able results of the experiment, ac-
cording to the physicians. The tests
will be continued.

CONSIGNED FLAG TO OBLIVION
Youngsters First Burned German EN-
blem and Then Solemnly Buried
the Ashes in the Earth.

"The wal is making a wonderful I'M
preston on the mind Of American
childhood" remarked DIR. Edgar De-
Witt Jones, a Bloomington (Hl.) pas
tor, discussing current topics with
some friends the other day.
Doctor Jones relates a little story
about his young son, age ten, to illus
trate. In 1910 the pastor made a tour
of Europe and brought home with him
a flag of every nation visited. Ocea-
sionally they would be brought forth
to exhibit to visitors, but for the last
two years had been kept undisturbed
in a box in the doctors study. One
day two months ago the little son
very earnestly said to hi father:
Papa, haven't you a German flagf'
The pastor replied that he thought
there was one in his collection, at the
same time explaining to the lad that
the Teutonic banner was not popular
these days and was not to be exhib-
tied.
A few days later the little son was
more insistent. Papa" he said, Il
want that German flag; please get 1t
out for me-"
az got the boy the flag" said Doctor
Jones, land through the window Of my
study watched what followed. First
the boy called his sister, Dorothy. The
children took the flag into the yard
and with much ceremony burned 1t.
When it had been reduced to ashes
the children carefully gathered them
and put them In a cigar box. Then
they dug a little grave and buried the
ashes. There is a little mound in
the yard to show where the ashes OF
the kaiser's colors are resting. IhavC
never mentioned the incident TO the
children and they do not know that

ALWAYS LAND OF TROUBLE
Rsrbaric Invasion and czarisn' Have

Tho bockwardness Of the Russians

bv three historical factors. Ihere ~,
first. the Mongol yoke which reSteu
upon them for nearly two ana q nan
centuries. During the wonderful thlr-

England was establishing her parma
ment and democratic models were ne

ing city states Of Italy and the low
countries. the Russians lay tlatteheu
rnder an alien Asiatic despotism. by
the time they had rid themselves oi
the Mongols all legal rights of indiViu,
uals, local communities and soclai
classes had disappeared, leaving the
power of the czars unlimited.

Tartars hemming them on the east
and south. Until the days of Peter
the Great the Russians were for the
most part confined to the less fertile
forested region of the North, where
they were safe from the incursions or
the nomads. Let one imagine how our
economic development would have suf-
fered had our ancestors been confined
to the wooded region of the upper
Ohio and the Great Lakes because the
fertile prairies from Indiana to the
Rocky mountains lay open to the raids
Of barbarian hOrsemen yelling up

AIR CHOPPED UP BY SHELL
Aviator Describes Effect OF Heavy
Missile Which Passed Some Hun
dreds of Yards From Airplane.

A British aviator who had been fly
ing In France since the beginning Of
the war told the story of meeting a
shell from a German 1T-inch gun while
he was in the air, says Popular Me
chanics Magazine.
81 was at an altitude of about 5000
feet one day and climbing higher at
an easy angle, when one Of those big
fellows, almost at the end of its long
flight, came blowing along in the OPP
posite direction" he says. First
a dark little blur appeared ahead at
an angle of about 80 degrees above
me. At first IL seemed to be coming
right at me and 1 swerved to the left
In an instructive effort TO dodge the
threatened blow. Then a sort of dron-
ing hum became audible and that
sound increased during the two or
three seconds that elapsed before the
big missile came up to me and swept
past. 1t was probably several hundred
Yards away at It's nearest, but the dis
lance seemed less.
"a few faint STRINGS of air began
to rock my machine even before the
shell went by, but the full force or
the air wash came a fraction of a
second later. Then an almost solid
wall of air nearly threw me on my
beam ends and l was really hard put
to it to get the Keeling machine back
on an even keel. For the next mile
or two the air was like water In the
wake of a big sidewheeler-all chopped
to pleces-and the machine rocked like
a springless lorry going over cobbles.
The air was disturbed for some sec
onds after a loud pal astern had told
me that the shell had come to earth"

Something Like a ReardI

Mistakes of military s~ignalers are
sometimes amusing. A German pris-
Oner escaped fro;a 4H .Dternment camp,

ton of the man was circulated. The
description contained a succession OF
sibilant sounds, which rendered it's re.

Popular Prince,

The bearing of the Prince of Wales
all through the war has won him the
admiration, respect and affection of the
British peoples, here and overseas.
We need not enlarge upon this, for
every one knows that to say so is no
courtly form of words. The prince will
go to the overseas countries of the
empire when the time comes with the
unique advantage of having seen with
his own eyes the shining qualities
revealed during the ultimate test of
character-of the races that make up
the empire. He will go, too, for his
own instruction and enlightenment, as
the king said frankly of himself last
year when he foreshadowed his visit.
