ITALIANS WIN A
GREAT VICTORY
CONTINUED from Page ~

Comment in some quarters assumes
that the defeat on the Piave will have
an important influence on operations
on the western front, it being sup
posed that the aim Of the central
powers in the offensive was to destroy
the Italian POWER Of resistance g that
the Austrian army might be transfer
red to France as a counterpoise to the
Americans.
It is taken for granted generally
that the defeat must have an import
ant effect on the internal situation in
Austria-Hungary, where some con
spicious Austro-German triumph was
needed to counter balance the damag-
ing influence of food scarcity and
other causes Of dissatisfaction. The
suggestion is made that~these causes
may have had much to do with the
failure of the Austrian offensive which
started with military much
greater than those controlled by Italy.
Whether the decision Of the Aus
TRAN cabinet to resign is connected
with what appears to be a consider
able disaster to the country's armies
along the Piave. is not yet known.

Why Children Love Singing.

Children love to sing. 1t is natural
instinct with them. They would rather
sing than study the boundaries OF
.Turkestan, and there is no doubt they
would derive more benefit from so do
ing. The public schools, unfortunately
have little or no time to develop this
art with the other studies crammed
into an already too heavy curriculum.
Any time that is allotted to this SUBJ
ject Is given over to the teaching of
the simpler fundamentals of music.
The boy who enjoys telling the num-
Der of sharps and flats there are In a
key is an exception. But the child who
wants to sing song with words is the
rule. The problem is to find some
means whereby this wholesome desire
can be fOstered. And the answer to
the problem is community choruses for
children.

Why Watch Pepairers Rejoice.

The repairing of watches in Chi
cago has more than doubled as the
result of the telephone company's re-
fusal to give the correct time to sub
scribers hereafter. The change has
also increased the sale of new watches
and clocks.
According to the manager Of one of
the largest department stores in Chi
cago the watch repairing by his es-
tablishment increased by more than
so per cent almost before the order
became effective.
Figures compiled by the telephone
company showed that more than $780,
600 persons in Chicago called the op-
orator daily and asked "the correct
time, please"

WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS

Liverpool. Eng-When women first
were put to work in shell factories here
they handled only the light field-gun
shells. Later 1t became necessary for
them to turn out larger shells, and
doubts were raised as to whether the
women were strong enough to handle
them. A young mother settled the
question.

picking one up from the floor. "Aye."
she commented, "this shell Is a mite
heavy, It's true, but It's not so heavy

There Is a shell factory In this dis
