posedly by North sea inundations, and having made their way southward through the German forests, they in- f1icted a signal defeat upon Roman army under Consul Papirius Carbo at Noreia. Instead of following up their success into Italy. the victors pushed westward into the Rthne valley. Four years later, however, they practically annihilated the Romans under Marius Junius Silanus on the field Arausio, where S0,000 troops were slain.
 This terrible reverse sent tremor of terror through the lawmakers on the Capitoline hill, and the constitution was set aside in order that Marius, fresh from his triumphs on African battlefields, might be invested with consular powers for five years. He was deemed the man of the hour and the only general who could turn back the tide of barbarians that had debouched from Cimbri Chersonese. the name given to Jutland. While this tribe poured over the Alps, driving the forces of Catullus before it across the Adige and the Pc, Marius administered a crushing defeat at Aquae Sextiae in Gaul to the Cimbris' companions in

FEE. A STRONGHOLD OF ISLAM
Capital of Morocco Is Regarded as a Fair Specimen of What the
 Culture Produces.

Fez Is the capital of Morocco. It Is an odd mixture of progress and me dievalism, or tolerance and fanatacism
 of learning and superstition. These generalizations are the typical reaction of the occidental visitor to the life and manners of Fez. As matter of fact, writes Niksah, Fez is no city of contradictions, but quite consistent in view of the fact that the culture of the Orient and Occident have proceeded along somewhat different lines. Fez Is stronghold of Islam and fair specimen of what the culture produces.
 There is much poverty, much oppres- sion, much disease; there is also much charity, justice that Is sometimes dis concertingly swift and an atmosphere that can only be described as one of resigned cheerfulness. Commerce is conducted on a ludicrously diminutive scale, but the total of months trad ing in six by ten emporium often mounts into sta::ering figures. Slaves

Yellow Gasoline as Good as White.

n motorists realized that their preju- Giea against yellovish gasoline WAS un warranted the gasoline supply might be increased considerably. In the early days of the oil industry poor refining methods were responsible for the pro dHetion of yellowish kerosenes and gasolines. which were sometimes dam gerous. This led the public to demand that gasoline be water white," and the prejudice has hindered the develop ment of cracking processes which pro dnce perfectly safe gasoline with slightly yellowish tinge.
 Another handicap in the industry, ac- cording to petroleum experts, is the necessity for retiners treating gasoline with sulphuric acid and eaustse soda to remove uRsaturated hydrocarbons. which have q high fuel value in an ex- piosion engine. It is estimated that there is loss of $10,000000 a year in the United States through these preju- dices, represented by 30,000,000 gallons of gasoline 35000 tons of sulphuric acid and 3,500 tons of caustic soda.

WashiHgton-Five hundred thous- and troops in France early this year and million and half more ready to go-fully equipped and with the ar tillery to support them-this was the answer Secretary Baker gave the Sen ate military committee to the charge of efficiency breakdown in the military establishment.
 The startling progress of thetwar in the development of munitions will be shown, he said, by the fact that weap- ons devised by American experts dur ing the last few months have been discarded. Then taking up copy of the Metropolitan Magazine from last August, Mir.

FILLING HER CLUB NIGHTS
uo,. On. Girl Succeeded In Banish. ina Loneliness Caused by CIV
 ing Up Old Custom.

Rorhara Carson felt bored as she sat towing with her book under the light of the table lamp after dinner. If was club night for the girls or her set. and she pictured them enjoying tha excitement of the lights and the music as she had done every week through the winter.
 She had had to admit, however, that the tone of the club-night dances had gradually grown lower as the winter wore on, and she had made up her mind to break away from this group Of young people. She wanted to attach herself to persons who were more worth while.
 in remaining away tonight she had taken the first step, but she had not realized how hard it was going to be. lust then her mother entered the room and noticed the troubled look in her eyes.
 What is the matter, dear" she asked. Has something made you un- happy"
 NO" said Barbara, mot exactly that. but l didn't realize how deadly dull it was going to be to spend club night Ut home"
 Aren't you trying to take something out of your life without putting any thing else in it's placer asked her mother. "The Bible speaks about our overcoming evil with good. You are trying to overcome it with nothing. You are like the man of whom Christ spoke who had swept and garnished his soul-h0use and then left it empty. The result was that the old evil spirit came back and brought seven other worse devils with him. And, as Christ tells us. the last state of that man was worse than the first. The man merely had soul to Jet. Where he made his mistake was in not getting in some good tenants to take the places If the enps he had turned out. The Italians have proverb that says that the busy man Is VeXed with only one devil. the idle one with seven. It il- Iustrates the old saying that, if you want to keep ehatf out of the gran ary. fiji l. with grain.
 4Thc point of all this is that, fl you are trying to break q bad habit, you haa better start good habit to take its place rather than to sit thinking how wretched you are. 1 would sug= gest that ya4 start now 10 make an engagement for every club night dur ing the rest af the season.
