wooDs SOLD AS MAHOGANY

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 The name mahogany is applied com mercially to more thanN fifty different woods Perhaps half the lumber now sold under that name is not true ma hog;.ny, for the demand greatly exceeds the supply.
 The tree is only native to the limited area between southern Florida and north ern South America. Nowhere else does it really flourish. But the public will have mahogany. Women want it tor furniture, business men prefer it for of flee fixtures, and teak and mahogany are rivals in the affections of shipbuAd- CTS. Therefore substitutes flourish.
 It is not surprising that the real wood
 is so expensive when it is learned that
 it takes from 100 to 150 years for ma hogany tree to reach merchantable size. I Most of the substitutes bear little more than a general resemblance to the genu- inc wood, but skillful finishing makes them very much alike. Experts can usu- ally distinguish between them by the aid of an ordinary pocket ,ens. The efforts of the superficial. however, Q judge the wood by it's appsarance. weight. grain and color often lead them astray.

PRICES DURING CIVIL WAR

Frcm the Popular Science Monthly
 In these days of tribulation, when all very consistently bemoan the high cost of living. But this is not the first and only time that prices have been high. During the Civil War wages ran from SLIP day for laborers, to s2 a da, for skilled workmen This. however. did nor prevent shave from costing 10 cents or haircut 20 cents. Hotel rates were sl.50 to g day, and ice, which was considered a great luxury, was sup piled at 50 cents a week for 10 pounds daily strangely enough, sugar was the chief bone of contention in those days, too, ard it cost 12 to Is cents pound

Germany's Plans
 for Speedy Victory

{. AMBASSADOR MORGENTHAU EA is. contributing to the Worlds Work a series of articles on his ex- periences as our diplomatic represen- tative at Constaatinople that are hardly secondary in absorbing interest lo Brand Whitlock's story of Belgium n Everybody's Magazine.
 MT. Morgenthau writes that while .aking a stroll August 26, 1914, he net the German ambassador and that Eorthy exponent of "kultur" un- bosomed himself regarding Germany's war aims. Like great many other Hermanz at that time, Wangenheim predicted that the German armies would be in Paris in week, for krupp artillery would be the deciding factor in the war. "We shall not be hampered as we were in 1870," said the ambassador. "Then Queen Vic toria, the Czar, and Francis Joseph in terfered and persuaded us to spare Paris. But there is no one to inter tere now. We shall move to Berlin all he Parisian art treasures that belong 10 the state, just as Napoleon took italian works to France"
 Had the Germans taken Paris at that time the city would have been forced to pay an indemnity of perhaps b2O,OO0, 100000. Germany also, the ambassador declared, would demand toaling stations and harbors "every-, where"
 Pr. the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley. Nearly four years nave passed since Ambassador Nor Eenthau chatted one day in Constan- tinople with Ambassador Wangen- helm, strutting in true Prussian style and boasting of what Germany would do to her enemies. Paris has not yet been defiled by the invaders foot and recent developments indicate that it never will. Those art treasures are safe from spoilation. and Parisians haven't the slightest notion of ever paying s20,O00, ,OOO, GOO into the Kai- ser's coffers, which are by this time sadly depleted.

One Form of Death
 in a Submarine

elI0RAPPED twenty fathoms beneath
 T the surface, the crew of a U-boat which struck mine, strug- gled for an hour and half against death. Of forty men only two sur viyed Losing all hope of escaping from the doomed submarine, some of the crew committed suicide, rather than suffer further torture.
 "The only chance of escaping was to force open the coming tower and the forward hatch and trust to the com pression of air in one part of the ves- gel to force each man like torpedo to the surface. The air pressure in the submarine had become so high that the great majority of the Germans could not keep their mouths closed. The compressed air shot them to the surface, and hardly had they reached the sea level when the air pressure burst their lungs, and about twenty of them sank like stones"
 Picture what that crew went through, as they fought desperately far beneath the ocean. \ it any won N

der that the survivors were shattered
 and broken men? Yet, such an end,
 horrible as it may seem, may be the fate of any submarine crew, whether in German or allied vessel. Men who go down to the sea and down into the sea in such craft must have superior type of courage, and knowing that the chances of U-boat returning to its base are growing smaller all the time, it is not surprising that the Germans are finding it hard to keep up the complement of their U-boat crews.

 The state council of defense is ap- pealing to every community in Ala bama to create patriotic interest in the occasion and to prepare pro- gramme in harmony with the spirit of these war days.
 The time is short, but not too short to plan for great rallies and arrange exercises of an inspirational character.
