RlskEp DEATH FOR sHIPMArEs

At the risk Of almost certain
death Philip J. Berger, q seaman,
second class, United States navy, by
his heroic action when the Jacob
Jones was torpedoed has won not
only the highest praise Of his COM
manding officer, but the commenda-
ton of the navy department. Eight
minutes after being struck the de-
stroyer sank, stern first. Most Of
the men not killed by the explosion
got clear Of the ship and reached
rats or wreckage. Instead Of SWIM
ming to safety, Berger remained in
the motor sailer, endeavoring to get
it clear for floating from the ship.
Although he did not accomplish this
task, which would have saved q score
of lives, he stuck to his work to the
last, doing all in human power to
rescue more Of his shipmates. Final
ly he was forced to let go and was
drawn under the water with the boat.
Later he came to the surface and was
rescued.

pint Of water. Nearly all glass tum-
bier with this solution; place over the
tumbler a piece Of white plotting pa
per cut in circular form and rather
larger In diameter than the tumbler,
and over this inyert a saucer. Invert
the whole device. 30 that the tumbler
is standing upside down on the blot
ting paper in the saucer. Insert the
end Of q toothpick under the edge of
the tumbler SO as to admit little air
to it and permit the solution to soak
the blotting paper.
A little sugar sprinkled on the blot
ting paper around the tumbler will add
to its attractiveness for the flies. The
formaldehyde and the salicylate are
the best poisons for flies and are per-
fectly safe. The former has an un-
pleasant taste that would prevent chill
dren from tasting 1t, while any guam
tity Of the salicylate that child would
be likely to eat would do 1t no harm.

MOST BEAUTIFUL ON EARTH
niabiy Charming, but American
0iri Exesis Them All.

An American officer, writing to q
friend in this country from France,
says, the women of the latter country
are every short having reference,
Of course, to their stature. He is
correct, but he ought to have known
IL all along, observes the Columbus
Dispatch.
The average height Of the women
Of France is s feet / inch. Our
American girls average 5 feet 8
inches, and they are half an inch
shorter than the average English
girl. But our girls are the heaviest,
averaging III pounds in weight,
whereas the Englishwoman's weight
10 only 115 pounds and the French
woman maintains an average weight
Of only liz pounds.
But, regardless Of weight OF
height, or the lack Of weight or the
lack Of height, the American boy is
not going to And in France as beau
tiful women as he left at home. The
grace and beauty of the daughters OF
France have received a great deal Of
favorable publicity, while modesty
has prevented the American woman
from receiving the publicity that is
her dut. For the truth is, the Ameri-
can woman is more beautiful than
the woman Of any other country
and we can prove it by every fellow
who has q sweetheart.

McMahan was one OF the first

All the dollars in the world can

All the dollars in the world can
not buy victory. Victory is not
purchaseable-it is won. Dollars
can work for victory only in so
far as they are converted into Ia
Dor and materials. A dollar
boarded is a Stacker; a dollar
wasted is traitor; dollar saved
is a patriot, doubly so when
loaned to the Government. A
boarded dollar represents idle
power; wasted dollar repre-
sents wasted power; a dollar
saved represents power saved, la
Dor saved, materials saved.
Loaned to your Government, it
represents power, labor, and ma
terials in action, on the firing
line, over the top. And more
it represents reserve power, en-
ergy stored, purchasing power
conserved for it's owner.
