Within Sound of the Guns.

A new sound arose in the darkness, a sound which held for me a thrill as vital and incomparably more alluring than the hint of distant battle. It rose slowly, a rich, mellow undulation, which stirred every fiber, and then quavered, descendcu and broke off. We stood motionless, listening with all our ears, and again it came, unmistakably, from the depths Of the misty woods. My companion smiled at me in tri- umph. His first surprise had come off promptly, even ahead of time, for it was only now growing dusk. We could see in imagination the dropped tail, the hollow-cheeked muzzle raised skyward "a wolf uttering tEat cry which of all sounds is most symbolic of the north ern wilderness; un hurlement plaintiff ct lugubre. 1 could not believe my ears, that here i'll the heart of France, with in sound of the guns at the front, l had heard the voice of wild wolf.-- William Beebe in Atlantic.

Patriotic to Eat coconuts.

Is coconut pie an essential? the Wall Street Journal wants to know. No, but gas masks ara. It is a far cry from coconut pie io gas masks, but we are enabled to indulge our appe- tites in the one and supply the other through a single operation.
 Gas masks contain a certain brand of charcoal which is an absorbent of poison gas, and'it has been found that the rind of coconuts. when burned, pro- duces a charcoal superior to all others. For this reason the government has placed the humble coconut on the list of essential pgoducts and our friends on the island of Porto Rico are urged to ship as many as they can.
 When eating a piece of coconut pie or any other delicacy containing coco nut you are enabled to do so with an easy conscience. The charcoal made from the shell of the coeonut you eat may be saving the life Of an American soldier somewhere in France"

HISTORY WROUGHT IN STONE
Marvels of French Architecture Which the UnciviIzed Hordes of Ger
 many Would Destroy.

In architecture France is supreme. France there would have been no Goth ic architecture. The cathedrals of France are absolutely unrivaled, says Cass Gilbert in the Worlds Work. One has only to mention the names of No tre Dame de Paris, Bourges, Reims, Chartres, Rouen, Amiens, Beauvais and Coutances to bring up memories of mir acles of creative design which no words can fittingly characterize or de- scribe.
 Wonders of constructive ingenuity as they are, they have yet more SUI preme significance as evidence of the refinement and taste of people in stinct with emotion and ennObled by idealism in it's most exalted phase. These great buildings give expression to the spiritual aspirations of great people.
 They are constructions of superb scale and fascinating beauty, embel- lished by tracery and arabesque, carv- ing and inlay, stained glass, tapestry, bronze and iron of marvellous crafts manship and exquisite design. They are the product of thousand years of faultless taste, the contribution of innumerable thousands of craftsmen devoted to the glory of God and the love of France. And it is this glorious nation that the hordes of Germany would destroy.

Uae Found for Onera Hats.

From a French inventor comes an advertising sign in which an opera hat is it's housing. The sides of the hat are cut so that letters are removed that spell out the words of the sign These letter holes are covered over with thin light fabric of the same color as the hat. When unlightcd the letters remain invisible, but with one or more battery lamps placed inside and lighted, the hat becomes conspic- uous advertisement. The batteries may be carried in the pocket and wired under the coat to the neck and Hp to the hat over the hair on the back of the head. The current can be flashed on and off with switch in the coat pocket This is real novelty in ad- vertising signs and one which would be sure to attract attention.--POpular Sci- ence Monthly.

SANDPAGs SAVE MANY LIVES
Italian Authorities Must Be Given Credit for ResourcefuIness in
 Modern Warfare.

No belligerent has shown more re- sourcefulness than the Italians in de- yising novel means of offense and de fense, says a writer in Wide World Magazine. The Italian army was the only one to enter the war with trench helmet and steel chest protector, and it is now provided with more efficient other of the warning nations.
 Early in the war it was discovered by the Italians that many lives could be saved in sIirmishing at close quar- ters if the soldiers carried or pushed bags of sand in front of them, and the present body shield has been an out growth of that idea.
 They are made in the one-man and two-man type. The former are worn by infantry advancing in the open, at tached to the shoulders by a pair of light steel arms, and are long enough to protect the head and vital organs of a man standing erect. Lying at full length, or even crouched, it covers him completely. Each shield is pierced with a small, round eyehole and an oblong loophole for firing from, both of which may be closed by a sliding door when not in use.
 The two-man shield is principally used in wire cutting. It is carried on the back of one man, who may also work his rifle from loophole in the top, while second man works long wire-cutter through hole at the bot tom. It is held up by short legs if the first man desires to move independ- ently.

NOTICE.

To Chairmen Local Committees,
 To Arkansas Consumers of Coal: 1. The fuel situation confronting the nation is serious. It is impera- tive that there be a cooperative dis position on the part of steam-u users to equip their boilers for the use of such grades of coal as may be avail able, if the domestic consumers and the essential industries are not to have shortage of prepared sizes during the trying days of the com ing winter.
 2. Loss of coal production in many of the western states, includ- ing Arkansas, is largely attributable to the fact that there is not now suf-i ficient means for the untilization of slack coal The early ordering cam paign in this state has met with a ready response on the part of con- sumers, and retail dealers report they booked sufficient orders to keep them busy 60 days, and those who have not placed their orders should do so now. 3. Industrial plants and the con- sumers of prepared sizes are expected to do their full duty, and the steam users are called upon to make pre- parations for the use of more slack, or the whole system of production and distribution will be badly crip- pied.
 4. It is urged upon the owners of steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa- triotic duty, that they proceed to equip their boilers with special grates and blowers to enable them to burn and utilize approximately one hundred and fifty thousand tons of Anthracite slack that for the pres- ent, there is no market, and place their orders to the extent of their storage capacity.
 5. This applies especially to An thracite slack. The changes in fire box equipment can be made at a comparatively small cost and it will in the end, prove to be more econom- ical, on account of the lower cost of slack, and at the same time, will aid in the production of Anthracite coal. that is so badly needed. 6. Get ready to burn more slack and keep the miners busy. fl. c. COUCH,
 U. s. Fuel Administrator for Ark ansas.

Auto Replaces pons.

To "chceehako," which, in the yer nacular of Alaska, signifies an indi- vidual who, in the days of the storied West, would have been called a "ten- lcrfoot," falls the distinction of intro ducing trapping de luxe into the North.
 Harry Beagle, not long from the "outside," conceived the idea of set ting out on a trapping expedition in an automobile instead of by dog team. Frank Burgess went with him. Load ing their outfit into light car, the pair set out for the Big Delta country, despite snow and almost impossible roads.
 So far as is known at Fairbanks, the dea has proved a success.

ANGLO. AMERICAN
ALLIANCE A MYTH
Senator Lewis of Illinois, Addressing the
American Luncheon Club in London,
Said the Story Is German
Propaganda.

London, Aug. 80. There has been no
proposal by England and no suggestion
in America for a political or military
alliance between the two countries, said
James Hamilton Lewis, United States
senator from Illinois, at the American
luncheon club here to-day,
Il join with you" said Mr.. Lewis,
turning to Lord Reading, "in the senti-
ments expressed in the speech recently
made by you asserting that mischieyous
propaganda has been circulated in Ger.
tain parts of the country for the purpose
of embarrassing the allies
"If there shall arise any circumstances
iustifyinR different relations than those
now existing, President Woodrow Wilson
and Premier David Lloyd George will
send the proposal and the reasons offered
for it to the peoples of the countries.
There will be no diplomatic Juggling Of
the fates. There will be no bureau to
any people through secret pacts made
by official agents as long as Woodrow
Wilson is president Of the United States
and democratic government is in force
in Great Britain"
Speaking on peace Mr.. Lewis said
II voice my opposition to my country
or the allies assuming to write down the
details and items as to other countries
upon which peace can be based, These
particulars ought to be left to the peace
table, there to be the free subject Of
negotiation. No nation in the entente
ought to be embarrassed by premature
or individual effort to mortgage the com
missioners to specific provisions before
negotiation. This would deprive them Of
the trading basis necessary to the under.
taking and would, as well, equip the en-
envy with particular claims in detail and
he would at once be prepared with in.
vasion TO offset them"
