Exercise That Rests the Mind.

Perhaps the best way to rest your
thought mechanism is to indulge in
muscular exercise, by which means you
concentrate your anatomical move
ments and indirectly rest your mind.
To focus the attention upon muscular
movements or upon some phase, of ply
steal activity is to relax the muscles
which are concerned in the generation
Of tho"ght and ideas. Relaxation is q
better word for some sorts Of rest.

FITTING CELEBRATION.

On Mothers Day, a most fitting
observation of the day was that dis
played by the daughters of Mrs. NJ.
]. Barrett.
On this day the seven daughters
of Mrs. Barrett accompanied her to
the church of the Holy Name of
Mary. where they attended the May
devotions. Mrs. Barrett had a
bunch of seven sisters roses pinned
on her. Two pieces of ferns, rep
resenting her two sons, were ar
ranged with the roses.

"Sooner."

"Sooner" is the correct comparative
of the adverb soon, as soon, sooner,
soonest. The word occurs in the Bible
and in Shakespeare. In the early set.
tlement of the territories it was used
as a slang term to designate persons
who tried to pre-empt land before il
was legally open to entry. That was
an improper use of u correct word.

teachers Of the youth Of the land and

these Teachers PIattSburgs" through
the medium of the summer schools for
teachers that are held throughout the
country every year. 1t has not yet
been determined how many centcrs
will be used. The matter is being
taken up with all of the 200 summer
schools OF the country and probably
between 90 and 10 of the training
camps will be established. the schools
selected being chosen after careful in
vestigaton as to attendance, breadth
OF influence and convenience of loca-
ton.
The training camps will be conduct
ed by leading educators whose cooper
alton will be enlisted by the League.
The actual instruction will be under
the direction of DR.. Robert NJ. Neil
roy, educational director of the
League, and the members of the ma
tional Patriotic Education Faculty"
which he has organized. The League
already has over 1000 experienced pa
triotc speakers on its Speakers Bu-
ireau list. A great many of these men
and women will he detailed to the
Teachers Plattsburgs" and their
number will be augmented by volun-
teers from the principal colleges and
universities of the country, whose aca-
demic duties have prevented them
from taking active part in the patri-
otto education work outside their i'm
mediate field. but who will be free
during the summer months.
War Spirit.
The teachers will be given series
Of vital interpretations of the war by
men and women who have given care
full study to the situation. In addition
to this Installing of the war spirit In
the teachers, the training camps will
also afford them practical instruction
in the best methods of imparting to
the youth of the land the two war
principles on which the Security
Leagues Patriotism Through Educa-
ton campaign is based-the menace OF
Germany TO America, and the neces-
sity of individual service on the part |
of every man, woman and child In the |
country in order to prevent defeat.
A preliminary letter has been sent |
by Doctor McElroy to the directors Of |
all the summer schools of the country.

PLANES IDENTIFIED BY TUNE
Discovery Made by American Proves
Extremely Valuable to British
Aviation Service.

Air raids on London are no longer
German people that they once were.
Lately the raiders usually find that
they can raid up to the English coast
and then have to raid right back home
again. A young American is given
credit for the success of the British in
mel barrage whenever the German fly
ers approach.
A Brooklyn youth who had enlisted
in the British aviation service was as
signed to test out en- airplane detector
which was expected to discover the ap-
be heard, so to speak, with the naked
eye. No one expected that the device
would make it possible to tell whether
the approaching plane We're German
or British.
His musical studies had trained the
Americans hearing to q high degree,
however. He listened through the in
strument for several days while only
British planes flew within its range.
Then he heard different note. A Ger
man raiding squadron was approach
ing.
The American had discovered that
British planes hum in G-minor. He
found that the German raiders are
tuned in B-f1at. Now the British avia-
ton service keeps men about the capt.
tai with their ears close to detectors,

LESS SINKABLE SHIP COMING
Hull Consists of Two Parallel Cylia-
dricaI Shells Joined Throughout
Length by Diaphragms.

The French government has con-
tfacted with the Foundation company,
which is building wooden ships for the
Emergency Fleet corporation, to turn
out for it five cargo snonsinkable
ships of 1900 tons dead weight.
The hull of these ships, says the
New York Sun, is to consist of two
parallel cylindrical shells Joined
throughout their length by a series of
heavily braced diaphragms. Each cyl
indrical shell is divided not only into
watertight compartments by trans
verse bulkheads, but also is isolated
entirely from the adjoining shell and
from the sealed space between the
two. The latter space, which has
watertight bottom and deck, is not
used for cargo, but is provided solely
for reserve buoyancy.
at should not be called an unsink-
able Ship" said Mr.. Boero. II would
call it rather one of the less sink
able ships. 1t is seldom that a ship
has received more than one torpedo.
It Is extremely improbable that ship
will be struck by torpedoes on both
sides. We have tested an expert
mental design thoroughly at Paris,
and have found it entirely satisfac-
tory. The space required for the spe-
cial hull construction does not mate
rally lessen the bulk of cargo that
can be carried. We are convinced
that the ship will keep afioat after 1t
has been tOrpedoed."

CARED LITTLE FOR POLITICS
President Cleveland, However, Had
Real Liking for the Law, and
Loved to Fish.

president Cleveland loved the law
better than he did politics." remarked
r. o. Brown, former resident of Buff
falo. to reporter of the Washington
Post. Had he considered his own de-
sires he would never have left his prac-
tice for political office. doubt if even
the prospect of becoming president
would have induced him to enter poll
tics.
ut was my privilege to know Mr..
Cleveland when he was practicing his
profession before he entered politics.
He was not what might be termed a
glittering success as a lawyer. He had
no business instinct so far as the law
was concerned, but he delighted in
intricate legal problems, and much pre-
fcrred to take a case that involved ap-
parently hopeless questions. 1t could
not be said he was good pleader. and
while the average person was not at
tracted by his addresses in court,
judges on the bench had the greatest
respect for them, because they were
profound and logical.
when he was not engaged In law,
Cleveland delighted in utter abandon
ment of all things that required
thought; above everything else he
loved to fish. 1 recall that when some
of his Democratic friends wanted him
to become a candidate for mayor he
said: 4 don't want any more of poll
tics. l want TO stay right here in Erie
county, where 1 can go fishing occa-
sionally. I do not care if I never get
outside the borders Of Erie"

the little chap big feeding bottle of

up to the child, and my heart was in
