 NOW PROPOSED
.(Associated Press,


 The first step in the post office de- partment's plan to establish various aerial mail routes throughout the United States was taken today when the department authorized calling for bids for five airplanes for ser. vice during the coming summer be- tween Washington. New York and Philadelphia. Much publicity has been given this proposal of the gov ernment from time to time, and 1t Is understood that a number of con. cerns have made known their will ingness to enter bids on the service. : The first route to be established will be largely in the nature of ex- perimental work in order to ascer- tain how economically the service can be accomplished. If 1t should prove successful, other routes will be opened up as rapidly as possible. It Is known that New England route has been under consideration by the department. as have southern and western routes. All of the larger cities throughout the country are endeavoring to have routes estab. lished from them. It Is also known that the department has looked into the feasibility of establishing an aerial service in Alaska. but noth. ing definite has been decided in the matter, and no action will be taken until after the test routes have been given thorough tryout under all conditions.

 FAMINE ORDERS
(AsQOciafAd prosQl


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 12.-- Declaring that the heatless Monday order has served it's purpose and that more favorable weather, com. bined with improved transportation conditions, has made further coal restriction at this time unnecessary, the national fuel administration is' sued statement this morning fore. casting the withdrawal of the heat less Monday orders tonight. The net saving of fuel resulting from the restrictive order can not be accurately estimated just now but hundreds of thousands of tons are known to have been saved for more important uses.
 Without the great improvement in the transportation conditions, how ever. 1t is stated that the order would have had to be kept in effect for several weeks longer, but as the railway systems are now handling thousands of cars of coal more than they were able to do during the in element weather. the necessity for drastic conservation measures has become less imperative.
 With the weather moderating in the southern sections of the coun try. the demands upon the coal re sources of the country will not be so great as heretofore, and the ad ministration thinks that danger of . fuel famine has passed.

 LONDON, Feb. 12.-Official state ments received today from Russia by the British government confirm the German report that the Russian government has ordered the demobi- lization of all Russian armies on every front and is definitely with. drawing from the war against Ger many. The official statements do not reveal the terms upon which the final agreement was reached.
 The entire military strength of Russia will be demobilized. only le- gal guards being stationed along the border for customs duties. The Russian government will undertake no further hostilities against the Teutonic allies.
 Only meager dispatches have been received from the Russian capital. and nothing is said regarding the attitude of the people regarding the conclusion of peace. Recent reports have indicated that the majority of them would oppose peace which in. cluded any cession of territory to the Germans by the delegates. It Is understood that arrangements have already been made for the exchange of prisoners of war. The first class to be exchanged will be the wounded who are unfit for fur ther military duties. As rapidly as possible the transfer of all prison. CTS will be concluded.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Although Roosevelt's condition was not so good late yesterday as had been hoped for on the strength of the bulletins issued throughout the day by attending physicians. he passed a restful night and this morning showed considerable improvement although still very weak.

 Throughout today he has rested easily. and shows no signs of a relapse, such as was feared last night. With another comfortable night, he will be well on the road to recovery.

TURNS THOUGHT TO RELIGION
Destruction by Shell Of Statue That
Stood Somewhere in Galicia Re-
suited in Many Reproductions.

Yes, war does turn mems thoughts
to religion. Go to gay, immoral Buda-
pest. You find 1t today a city Of sober
people. You find in many Of the shop
windows the reproduction of a famous
statue that stood somewhere in Cali
ella" relates the Christian Herald.
1t was a large crucifix. A battle
pivoted around 1t. A shell struck the
statue, tore away the entire ros and
left the figure of the Christ standing
and unscathed. This event made a
tremendous impression upon the Hun
garians.
The story of it went through the
army like wildfre. At Budapest mini
ature statues, showing the destroyed
cross and the intact figure of the
Christ. were at ouce manufactured,
and put ON sale. You can find them
now. expensive or cheap. in nearly
every Hungarian home.
The pity of it is that 1t seems to
take a war to make some people think
OF these things.

No crocuses In November.

1t should be a consolation to women
who have passed thirty to remember
that the most beautiful work of human
hands-the Venus de Milo-is the
statue OF a mature woman, comments
a writer. All the Venuses, In fact, are
represented as mothers. There is not
a young girl In the lot. Among the
Greek statues only Psyche could quail
ify as a Broadway beauty, and ever
Psyche might appear a little plump
and mature to the admirers of the hui
man reedbird.
OF course, every woman should fight
ugliness to her last hour. She need
not lose her beauty at any age. But
one does not expect to pick snowdrops
or from the fallen leaves OF
November, and 1t is just as futile to
hope to look sixteen when you are
forty.

RELIGION OF THE CHILDREN
Spirit Of Faith, Hope and Love Toward
the Father and Mother Is Off
springs World.

We need not follow the antiquarians
back into the era Of the cave dwellers
In u search for the origin Of religion.
Religion is reborn in the birth Of every
babe, says Lyman Abbott in the out
look. He needs no teacher to tell him
that he is dependent on his mother
for his food, and a widening n of
his helpless dependence on her grows
with his widening experience. Her
service to him awakens his gratitude.
her brooding love for him inspires in
him an answering love.
If she is wise as wen as an affec-
tionate mother, he early recognizes
her authority and learns that prompt
obedience is one secret of happiness.
If she loves and hOnors her husband
her child's love and honor follows
hers to the strong stranger. If she
has piety as well as human affection,
he dimly perceives in her prayers
Mt his bedside an experience which
ne presently wishes he might share.
Thus there grows up in him a spirit
Of dependence, gratitude, love, reyer-
ence, obedience, faith-and this spirit
is religion. 1t ~antedates all theology,
precedes thought, transcends defini-
ton. The spirit of faith, hope and
love toward father and mother is the
child's religion. The conception Of
God and his duties toward God comes

LIaht Best Suited to EYES.

Recent Investigations into the kind
of light best suited to the eyes have
important practical significance. The
studies were made from the point Of
view of contrast" to determine the
Ideal contrast between the object
looked at and the surrounding back
ground. 1t vas found that the usual
contrast in brightness between objects
out of doors rarely exceeds the ratio
of l to 20. The eye can detect CON
trasts as delicate as % to 100. In
doors, contrast in light and shadow
often run as high as l to 200, and a
dark window frame against a bright
sky presents a contrast Of l to 10000.
The scale of contrasts best suited to
the eye lies btween 1 to 20 and 1 to
100.

THE PATCHED
PATRIOT

A generation ago it was not deemed
a disgrace for old or young, rich or
poor, to wear clothes or shoes that
were still in fairly good condition,
though patched in spots. To wear
patched clothes was considered an
evidence OF both industry and thrift.
But the vanity which dominates some
of us and influences all of us has put
patches out of style. An age of luxury
has banished the simple precepts Of
economy taught in Poor Richards
almanac. But perhaps the necessities
growing out Of war demands will re-
vive old-time practices. When our
army in America as well as in Europe
is in need of every pound of wool the
country can spare, and when the al
lies are unable to get all the good
clothes and shoes they need, probably
earnest citizens of America, although
financially able to buy new clothing,
will wear the old a few months longer
in order to help the cause. True
patriotism may be evidenced by the
wearing of d patch. no less than by
wearing a bond-buyer's button.

Ship of the Desert.

Because of It's peculiar swaying mo-
ton in walking. the camel has been
called the "ship of the desert" This
title may also have some reference to
the extreme stupidity and passlylty of
the animal. says Popular Science
Monthly, which submits to great
loads, which II will often carry for
days at a time without stopping for
food or drink, with no more urging
than a ship would require from the
hands Of its pilot.
The n In which the drivers
hobble the camels when they stop for
a rest is interesting. They do not de-
pend upon stakes driven In the deep,
yielding sand. but simply double back
and tie one end of the forelegs OF the
animal, so that II can lie down or rise
up. but cannot move from the spot.
