FERRY ACROSS THE CHANNEL
Freight Cars Are Carried for the First
Time in History From
England to France.

For the first time in the history Of
railroading train ferry has crossed
the English channel from Newhaven,
England, to Dieppe, France, carrying
about fifty cars, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. Since early in the war
thousands of British railway cars have
been employed in France in transport
ing troops and supplies, but they have
all been transferred to the continent
by freighters. The inauguration Of
ferry service indicates that the diff
culties created by very pronounced
tides have been overcome at last to
the mutual advantage Of these two al
lies. At Dieppe the water level varies
as much as 81 feet. To overcome this,
short bridges, attached at one end to
the dock and resting on large floats,
are employed. During loading and un-
loading the ferry is chained to the
boat and dock pier as well. The two
smokestacks are located one at either
side Of the craft, leaving space for
tracks down the center Of the deck.

BRAVE SONS OF FAR WEST
Boys Sole Object in Going to War,
Like That of Others, Is to
"Can the Kaiser"

Mai. e. Alexander Powell, in Scrib-
ner's Magazine, says sit has been my
good fortune to have marched with
many armies, but none Of them has
given me the thrill of pride which runs
up my spine when see these loose
limbed, brown-faced, clear-eyed sons
Of the far West go swinging by under
the slanting lines of steel.
"They are for the most part serious
looking, with a curious set expression
about them which makes you feel that,
though they realize the immense diff
Guilty of the task for which they are
preparing, they intend to see it fin
ished, no matter how long it may
take. Just as their fathers carried the
frontier Of civilization westward from
the Mississippi, so these, their sons,
are going to push that same frontier
from the Rhine.
'But that isn't the way that they
would put 1t. Should you ask them
what they are fighting for, they will
say nothing about the liberty Of small
peoples or about making the world
safe for democracy. They will assure
you that their sole object In going to
war is to can the kaiser And, upon
thinking it over, it seems to me that
their answer, though somewhat inele-
gantly phrased, perhaps, expresses the
sentiments Of all of u.s."

his novel dealing with infdelity.
He finds his knowledge of
woman's nature too limited and
struggles disconsolately and
without success to overcome his
lack of knowledge.
Then his loyal and devoted
wife, Evelyn, discovers his dilem-
ma, and schemes with his private
secretary, Miss NORM, ia assist
him out of his difficulty. Evelyn
pretends to be unfaithful to her
husband. Her husband, stimu-
lated by Miss NORM, assumes the
same pretense. The dissimulation
of both develops into an unin-
tended near tragedy, only avert
ed by a stroke of good fortune.
"Unfaithful" will be written on
the screen of the Nogales Theatre

is played by the far-famed

Uniforms Too Tiuht.

The army council order about the
tightness and fitting Of soldiers uni
forms led to expert discussion as to
which force has the best, says the
London Chronicle. Wounded officers
with experience ranging from Bagdad
to Ypres voted for the Australian.
Its shirtlike tunic with buttoned
sleeves Is ideally workmanlike. The
Norfolk jacket-like waistband gives
trimness without necessitating the
wearing Of q belt.
And just as unanimously expert
opinion declared the q. S. A. uniform
the worst.
''It's too tight-it's skin tight. Bless
you, the pockets won't hold anything
they're for appearance. You couldn't
cram a handkerchief in one. And ]

Empalme Picnic the Fourth.

On the Fourth of July the
American colony observed the
festal anniversary with a picnic
at Batuecas, a point on the bay
shore about half way between
Empalme and Guaymas, where
there are excellent facilities for
picnicking and bathing. About
all the Americans in the town
turned out to participate, and it
is reported that all enjoyed
themselves hugely. The party
went out by special train at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon, and
returned at 8 in the evening.
All took along their bathing suits
and enjoyed a delightful swim
in salt water. Then a delicious
clam chowder. with other viands
and trimmings, was served; and
to that all did full justice.

Tragedy of French Trees.

Broken homes, ruined factories,
shattered churches, violated graves, 1t
had seemed to me we had rung all the
changes on the destruction of war. But
there remained one-the tragedy OF
the trees-says a writer In McClure's
Magazine. You can rebuild houses,
churches, towns even-for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or.
chards Of fruit trees and avenues OF
great shade trees-for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled branches Of brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards.
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but white-topped
stumps. They say that when the
warm spring came, some Of these or
chard trees, lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then-just before they died-bloomed
once again for France.

SHAW SAYS WOMEN
DO THE PROPOSING

George Bernard Shaw claims
that women actually do the pro-
posing, though they do it so
|cleverly that the man never
knows. Women, of course,
always will combat this asser-
ton. But one thing is certain
as a schemer in the fields of ma
trimony man is a mere novice as
compared to woman. When she
sets out to get what she wants,
she gets tiff fixity of purpose,
inspiration and intuition can pos
sibly bring victory. ''The Mar
riage Bubble" is one of those
clever plays of matrimonial
scheming and woman's wit which
pictures the efforts of a pretty
scheming sister to marry her
brother off to a rich girl. 1t is
also hurricane of dual perso-
nalities, for William Desmond,
Triangle star, plays both the
brother and the lover through a
series of uproarious complications
which finally untangle them
selves into very pretty love af-
fair. Nogales Theatre, Monday.

IT'S A PREMATURE MONUMENT
Tall obellsk Was Raised by the Turks

Approaching Kut-el-Amara from the

thing one sees nowadays is tall ODE

the Saturday Evening Post. 1t stands
on the wide, shell-torn and deeply
trenched neck of land-base Of the
peninsula on which the town is built
where for LA days the shattered rem
nant Of British army withstood a
double siege of constant bombardment
and slow starvation.
This obelisk was raised by the
Turks to commemorate the surrender
of General Townsend and their vic

tried so long and so heroically to re-

Was ever anything quite so prema-

Turks and the Germans were that they
had the British in Mesopotamia per-
manently defeated. Defeated! 1t
seems incredible that anyone could
have imagined 1t. In the face of things
as they have become, that obelisk
seems to me to express kind Of
whimpering enmity, as though it felt
itself strangely inappropriate and
would get away if it could to follow

NO CALENDAR FOR 500 YEARS
Christians Reckoned Time According
to Customs of Nations to Which
They Belonged.

History tells us that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar Of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs Of the nations to which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the "Anno Urbis Conditae," or
year Of the founding Of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
of Diocletian, calling it "the Era Of
the Martyrs :" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome, made a calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date of which he fixed at 753 A. q. G.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded 753 B. 9.
At the beginning of the eighth cen
tury the venerable Bede pointed out
that this was an historical blunder.
But no general notice was taken Of
his criticism and the error has contin-
ued to this day. Historic facts have
enabled modern scholars to determine
without much possibility Of doubt, the
exact year of the birth of Jesus, and
to place it at what we call B. @.
''It should be noted" says the great
French astronomer, Camille Flamma-
rion. "that the birth of the Savior re-
mained totally unperceived at the
time. No register of birth, no contem-
porary historian has bequeathed us
any sacred parchment registering the
event."
Moreover, although we are actually
approaching the year 1928 A. D., there
is little probability that our calendar
will ever be reformed to show the fact.
The confusion of dates that would re-
suit from substitution of the more ac-
curate designation would be too great
to make such RIGHTEOUSNESS worth
while.-Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

having one Of the six best sellers
among the novels of the season
in ''Unfaithful. His powerful
exposition of human nature, and
woman's nature in particular,
strikes sharp note among the
fine literary works of the decade.
Truth is the dominant note in
the great climax of his novel
picturing the agonies of great
mans soul when he is confronted
by the infdelity of the woman
he loved and trusted. "Unfaith-

Coffee Substitutes in Denmark.

is to be had it sells for as much as
$5 pound. This naturally has stimu-
lated the production of coffee substi-
tutes. 1t is now reported that about
$1,000 tons of various kinds of raw
materials have lately been used for
making these substitutes. One report

tons Of dandelion, 1000 tons of chicory
and 2,300 tons of sugar beets have
been roasted, ground up, and sold for
coffee substitutes. Acorns sell for
