LONG FAMOUS IN HISTORY
Vlclssitudes of Old City Of Jerusalem
May Be Said to BE Without
O Parallel.

The capture Of Jerusalem by Eng
lish troops recalls the tragic and fas-
cinating story of that day, which car
ries US back through the mist Of ages
to the days when the throne Of David
was established within its walls. From
that date. we pass to the glories Of
the temple built by Solomon, which for
centuries was to stand as the center
and pivot of the Jewish nation and
faith. The time came, however, when
her days were nmbered, and the drama
of Calvary was followed a few years
later by the onslaught of Titus, the
Roman emperor, who encompassed the
city round on every side and leveled
it to the ground.
Round it's ruined walls Saracen and
Crusader were to fight continuously for
it's possession, and Christian knights
flocked from all lands to the rescue Of
the holy places, until in 1899 Godfrey
de Bouillon defeated his enemies and
was chosen as the first Christian king
of Jerusalem.
Following this, for a considerable
period the city remained in Christian
hands, until in 1917 it was captured by
the Turks.

Women as Aviators.

"Out of a thousand women who
want to fly" says C. g. Gray. Lon
don aviation expert. "you might find
one who has the right kind of nerve
for flying, A great many women
learned to fly before the war, but
never came across more than one
who could really fly. She was very
exceptional woman altogether. In the
United States Ruth Law was the first
woman to fly from Chicago to New
York. She came of an acrobatic FAM
ily. Katherine Stinson, another Amer
lean girl, nearly completed the same
feat recently. But for one woman OF
this type you have thousands hysteri-
cally anxious to fly, and they would
only break their necks as well as gov
ernment property and be general
nuisance"

Woman Born in Germany Works in
Fields to Beat Kaiser.

Mrs. Elizabeth Batteiger Of War
wick county, Indiana, is seventy-four
years old, but she is helping the United
States in war by toiling in the hot sun
in wheat fields.
Her plan is simple. She is saving
the grain that in ordinary years is
permitted to stand in the field-the
wheat binder does not get. Thus
far Mrs. Batteiger has cut 105 bundles,
resulting in the saving of four bushels
of wheat.

Strain of FLYING.

Aero-neurosis is the name which
is sometimes given to nervous trou-
bles brought about by the strain Of
flying. 1t has been said that an air.
mans life consists of 'long spells Of
intense fear" He has to endure in
tense cold, rain, wind, and fog, the
nerve-racking noise of the engine, the
anti-aircraft fire, and to loop, spin,
dive, or sideslip, apparently out Of
control, to deceive an opponent. An
interesting nerve test has been de-
vised in France for selecting the best
type of airmen for fighting. Around
his chest is pneumograph, in his left
hand a trembler, and around two
fingers of his right hand pneumatic
"doigtier." Behind the candidate
revolver shot is fired or a magnesium
flare is set off, and a record of the eff
feet on his nerves is obtained by means
of stylets writing on a blackened re-
volving cylinder.

LINKS ITALY AND AMERICA
Newly Installed Wireless TeIegraphy
Plant Is the Most Powerful That
Has Yet Been Built.

The announcement that Italy and
the United States have recently been
connected by wireless telegraphy de-
serves more notice than it has re-
ceived. This achievement probably
makes a back number of the great
wireless station at Nauen, near Ber-
lin, which has been so useful to Ger
many and which, when the war broke
out, claimed totbe the most powerful
in the world, with an effective range
of between 5000 and 5000 miles. From
the nearest point in Italy to the
United States transatlantic station at
Arlington, near Washington, is not
less than 5000 miles, and to send an
ineligible message across that dis
tance might be more than even
Nauen could accomplish. Owing to
the hostility between the ether waves
which carry wireless messages and
sunshine, it is always easier to send
messages long distances in northerly
latitudes than in those more South,
and the power required to cover a
given distance Increases with near
ness to the equator. The wireless
route between Rome and Arlington is
for a good part of the way at least 800
miles nearer the equator than that
between Nauen and the United States,
which fact considerably adds to the
achievement of the Italian and Ameri-
can experts.-London Chronicle.

FRENCH GO BACK TO CANDLES LINGERIE TO BE ADORNED
Scarcity of Materials Used for Light
ing Has Led to Revival of
an Ancient Art.

While the war has wrecked some in
dustries in France, it has at the same
time created new ones and revived
older crafts. An excellent and inter-
esting example of the latter is the art
Of candlestick making, which has
taken on a new lease of life. Even in
some of the big towns there are houses
which are not supplied with gas, where
before the war petroleum or spirit was
used for lighting purposes. Now that
the use of these is restricted closely,
recourse has to be made to the old
fashioned candle.
This is true in the country especial
ly where candlesticks are in great de-
mand, and every one is buying them
according to his means or fancy. At
first they were made of copper, but
when that metal became scarce brass
was employed. Some of the modern
examples have several branches and
are very artistic.
A domestic art metal morker at AK,
who has specialized in this kind of
work, and has become quite celebrity,
has. just constructed a series of tall
iron candlesticks of very solid proper
tions which can hold several candles.
They have been critically inspected by
art metal critics and are claimed to
be true works Of art, and to appeal to
all lovers of ironwork.-Scientiic

"FrilIery" Must Be Crnamented With
Hand Painting, Is Coming
Edict of Fashion.

Well, girls, you will soon be wear
ing your own art gallery. Painted
lingerie is coming, and who knows but
what you will have a birdseye view Of
the Steel city, with its mills in full
blast, running around the bottom Of
your skirt? For it is said that lin
gerie that once screamed will make it's
painted approach much more noise
lessly and without ostentation, but
with force. Oil paintings done to suit
individual taste on the lingerie are
among the fall announcements. Each
place is to follow a master design, and
sets will have their day in court. Thus,
a mosquito-net dress will put spider
web stocking most eminently in the
shade, if not entirely out Of business,

before those of US who have eyes with
limitless possibilities as to scenic eff

temperament may now take on new
lease of life, in spite Of the agitation
in favor Of tax On art ranging up to
% per cent. 1t may mount upon eagles
wings. It may run without WEAKNESS.
It may-but what's the use? The new
fad is positive boon to struggling
artists from Maine to California, whose
productions have, since the war, had
to confront not only a sluggish, but
positively dead market. Let us all
rise in our places and give three rous-
ing cheers for the application Of
painting to lingerie.-New York Times.

HUNGRY Vienna IS
BEGGING FOR FOOD
Austria Duped by Germany as to
Ukrainian Stores, Is Cry
of People.

Starvation reigns in Vienna, accord
ing to press telegram from Budapest,
where Mayor Body convoked the
municipal food commission and asked
it to send food to Vienna. The mayor
also published an appeal in which he
asked the people of Budapest to re-
nounce one days ration a week for
two months. If this was done so car
loads of grain could be sent to Vienna,
the mayor adds.
The German press charges Count
Czernin and the Austrian press with
creating an optimism as to food condi-
tiohs for which there was no founda-
tion in fact. Vienna had hoped to get
vast quantities of flour from the
Ukraine and none came. Czernin is
accused of overstating the possible re-
suits Of the Ukrainiaa agreement.
1t seems Czernin tried to lull the
people into contentedness by telling
them huge supplies would be on the
way from the Ukraine in the near
future. Wnen these promises could
not be fulfilled the bread ration had to
be halved in Vienna. Germany, too,
had to reduce its daily bread ration.
At the same time Germany did send
some grain to Vienna. Bavaria sent
trains of grain to the Tyrol. At the same
time Austrian newspapers were charg-
ing Germany with having scooped the
Ukrainian stores, although it had
promised they would be preserved for
Austria.
