wild fantasy as the famous flying ma
chine of Darius Green. l once read
pamphlet written by an engineer of note
in his own era wherein he proved con-
clusively that trains could never be op-
Grated at a greater rate of speed than
twelve miles an hour.
Woman Is just beginning to wake up
to the fact nat the whole field of ad-
venture is as open to her as to man.
Especially so now, for the adventure Of
the future will be largely in the mental
realm.
Sir Oliver Lodge. great scientist, has
already essayed one branch of it To
his own satisfaction at least, he has
proved that there is communication be-

Bee Davis home an invalid.
Her brilliant hopes were gone for
nothing. she felt, and she believed she
had less than nothing to look forward
to. Her mother nnourned the evils OF
higher education; her father rallied at
colleges for women Bee had entered

ed enthusiastically into work, made 2
brilliant freshman and sophomore rec
ord and took summer courses besides.
She began her third year last fail--now
she is an invalid from "overstudy,@ pale
uninteresting, her body nuisance, her
brain a fevered mass. She has wept
barrels over "lost chances" 'cruel fate
why, why" she asks, mas this hap
pened to me7"'
Strange to say, her question has
found an answer that has startled the
little girl into seeing exactly what
'.overwork" and "overstudy" are. Aft
er she went home feeling her life and
usefulness had been cut short she
learned that the hygienic reference

Through this means Bee learned ex-

should have learned before she went to
college. The frst of these revealed to
her that ventilation, loose, porous
clothes. outdoor recreation, outdoor
sleep, If possible, and deep breathing.
are vital to long life and health Now
at college Bee had ventilated when she
thought of ii and when il wasn't too
cold. had never considered whether the
clothes she wore were made for physical
efficiency, had been too busy 10 take
regular outdoor exercise and tso bent
with long study to breathe deeply.
The second of these Iong-life secrets
related to food: @Avoid overeating and
overweight. Eat spAriHgiy Of meat and
eggs. Eat some hard, some bulky, and
some raw foods. Eat slowly" For two
years and half Bee had eaten many
times little and hufriedly Of whatever
happened to be convenient. hence she
had become anaemic and underweight
The third of the life-extensiOn prin-

that work, play, rest sIeep, and serenity
are needful to well-being. Work only
she had observed at college. Too busy
to play, too hurried to rest she had
often studied late into the night and
got up without sufficient sleep. More

NEED OF
COMRADSHIP

wuERE is little story recently told
n by an army officer, which Illus
4 4 trates how we need each other
in daily life.
When some of the men on the other
side first faced the enemy they were
pathetic failure on the fighting line. AS
individuals they were brave, splendid
bows, but when they went forward TO at
tack they had no solidarity. Their adj
vance fell TO pieces. Their lines did not
hold
Were they sneered at as poor sol
diers? Not at all Good generals un-
derstand the psychology of humanity.
They were withdrawn to the reSr and
ordered into close formation. Then, el-
bow to elbow. they were marched and
drilled and counter marehed-and
marched again. There were several
weeks of that-of drilling in close
formation, elbow to elbow.
Then they were sent back to the front
rank trenches. And when they were
thrown forward in attack their lines
held. There was almost half mile be-
tween man and man in some 0f those
charges, but the lines held. Far flung
in battle line, with great gray gaps OF
emptiness between man and man, they
fought as il they had stood shoulder to
shoulder. buoyed up BY warm human
presence.
'Whyl" you ask.
Because OF the elbow to elbow con
seiousness each man had gained Of his
mates during weeks Of drilling in close
formation. Now out in the murk Of No
Mans Land they could not see each
other, but they felt each other. Eaca
man knew that when he came upon tho
enemy his comrades would be there
distant. perhaps, but held close in =
common cause.
And there lies human nature h ~

SEEING IT THRoUGH.

SEEING IT THROUGH.
sFor example America should look to
England" were the words Of an emf
nent public speaker just recently re-
turned from studying the war situation
In both England and France.
England has literally pushed every
thing aside and turned her energies and
her industries towards war" he con
tinued. THAT which has nothing to do
with war has been practically elm
mated. 1t is almost impossible 70 get
for love or money a taxieab In London,
a city where there used to be standing
at the eurbstone waiting for you. And
the pleasure car simply does not exist
any longer. 1t is a species >entiFely
wiped out"
The speaker went on enthusiastically,
TO tell how, step by step, all the unessen-
tiais Of life had been eliminated, in Eng
land. He used as an example the urn-
brelia industry. He said that when
England considered that enough umbrel-
las had been made to supply her needs,
she shut down the factories.
"As a country England has figurative-
ly set her teeth in the war and has given
up everything else to fight it through to
the 6uish," said the speaker.
81 tried an experiment in several of
the big hotels in England" he went on.
Il tried first by requesting, then BY
wheedling and finally by bribing the
waitress to get me another order of
bread.
"Do you think she wouidf Not bit
of iti She stood firm to her first as
sertion, each patron is allowed but two
ounces Of bread for dinner
"And il was war bread at that
ut was the same thing with meat and
the same with sugar" he continued
"The FIVE ounces of meat-and that IS
a very small portion when cooked, and
the III ounce Of sugar were put before
him and neither money nor wheedling
could get him more"
This is typical of the situation in
England No one can be bribed OF
wheedled into deviating one step from
the path which leads to Winning the
War"
