BE UncommonIy Good.

Here is a sentence of Coventry Pat
more's, one Of the many jOttings which
we're found in manuscript after his
death: "1f you wish to be good. the
easiest, indeed the only way, is to be
h%eroically So" That is profoundly
true. We are not going to be common
ly good until we are uncommonly de-
voted to goodness. That is to say, the
easiest way to Gods will on the ordi.
nary road is to bring to each task and
duty a life of uttermost conservation.
1t is only the really full life that will
make little things live. If there is to
be the heroic flavor In our ordinary
fellowships 1t must be born out of a
supremely surrendered life to the fell
lowship of God in Christ our Lord. We
are too prone to try to be good on a
perilously low pressure, and we cannot
get along. There is no strength in our
goodness. We are not impressive. 1t
makes no mark. 1t cannot burn a trail!
There is not heat enough. If we had
more heat, II we we're baptized with
the Holy Ghost and with fire, the ordi-
nary things Of the ordinary day would
pulse with the power of holy consecra-
tion-J II. Jowett, d. D..

GREATLY REDUCES FIRE RISK
Advantage Of standardizins Fire-Hose
Couplings Quickly Perceived by
Up.To-Date Communities.

An association was formed In an
Ohio city recently with the idea OF
st%andardizlng the 1rehose couplings In
the district. and It was found that
some Of the odd-size hose couplings
could be changed to standard at small
expense by means of taps and dies
furnished free by the inspection bu'
reau. reports Country Gentleman. II
also was ascertained that by means OF
adnpters couplings In other cities
could be made; but in some towns the
size was prohibitive. Now other co
operative associations are being form.
ed that are reaching ont into Penn.
%sylvania. Kentucky. Indiana and West
Virginia, and demands for the taps
and dies have come from Texas and
New Jersey.
The cooperative Idea not only takes
in the waterworks towns. but also the
smaller places. and the chiefs OF the
several cooperative units have can
vassed their districts so that 10Y they
know not only what equipment to

roads and the construction and char
acter of the buildings to be worked up
on. AS most of the Ohio equipment is
now motorized. remarkable time Is
made in getting to towns where there
Is no fre-tighting equipment at all but
where a powerful combination chem

factorily. Many Of the chiefs Of vol
unteer organizations are now visiting
the headquarters Of the city depart
ment and gaining practical expert
nee at irst-hand in actually fighting

ment. Towns finding that they can
not have assistance. by reason OF
odd-size couplings, are ordering all
new standard equipment and are, Of
course, changing their hydrants to con
form to the standard code.
The value Of the city and lnterurban
cooperative, wheel-within-a-wheel idea
Is that in many cases the town or rural
equipment would master the fire; but
If 1t could not, the next nearest large
place could rush the proper parnpher-
MALTA to the scene, either over good
roads OF by special train. either steam
or electric. The idea Of i%nterurban and
rural protection Is about to take an
other leap forward. and the plan is
this: Ohio and many other states are
spiderwebbed with trolley lines. Suit
able tank cars. carrying chemical
equipment, pumps and 1000 or more
feet of hose could be held in reserve
at terminal points and rushed, day or
night, to the nearest point to a fire. In
a fire n second lost may make for
eternity.

War Savings and Thrift Stamps.


During the month of February the
receipts coming into the treasury de-
partment through the sale Of War Saw.
lngs and Thrift stamps tOtaled SAL
100000. II Is reported that they aver
age now about $2,OOO.OO a day. Re-
turns from the same source In England
were $S7 100000. The War Savings
and Thrift stamps give everyone a
chance to be 'in" on the great bust
ness Of winning the war. They are
a fine investment and within the reach
Of everyone. Congress set So. 900 .0OO,-
600 as the amount to be raised by this
means for the year. If this amount Is
reached 1t will cover the entire cost OF
the governments shipbuilding program
for the year. 1t has now from this
source enough revenue daily to build
10000 tons Of shipping and altogether
has received to date funds for building
10000 tons, or 81 ships of 5000 tons
each.
Our strength in this war has not
made itself felt yet as 1t will be felt.
Great reserves of it will be forthcom-
ing. We have hardly felt the pinch
Of the war yet. In the War Savings
and Thrift stamps we have an opportu-
nifty to all take a hand In building
ships, and they must be built. Re
sides this the Thrift stamps are edu-
eating people. especially young peo-
pie and children, to save and to
nse money for investment instead

POINTERS ON HOME BUILDING
Comprehensive Study Of Various De-
signs Will Be Found Helpful to
Prospective Home Owners.

The collecting of clippings from the
magazines Is n practice recommended
by architects for persons contemplating
building a home. The prospective
home builder can obtain many valu-
able pointers as to the relative style
Of house which he prefers and Is able
to compare the advantages of different
designs. He Is then able to explain to
the architect what he wants and the
architect can draw up plans in accord
ance with his wishes.
When saving clippings the client Is
apt to accumulate a lot of i%rrecOncila-
BILE details which he wants In his house.
but the architect can adapt The prin-
ciples desired to better effect If he
knows what styles and designs are In
the owners mind. The clipping habit
Is usually acquired some time before
the time to build and in the meanwhile
the selective process is continuing. BY
the time the owner is financially ready
to build he has made up his mind as
to the details he would like to have
and the things he would rather do
without.
The illustrations in newspapers and
architectural magazines are valuable
in determining the style of house de-
sired, while the h~Omebuilders' sections
contain many suggestions of use to
possible builders. The saving of these
illustrations and suggestions will en-
able one to get a good idea Of what
other builders are doing and keep in
touch with recent developments of in

Can Overcome camoufiaee.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages of camouflage-Or at
least certain kinds of camOufluge-
can be overcome by an opposing army
by providing its airmen and other
scouts with cOlored glasses or screens
of contrasting cOlOrs to use with field
glasses. states Popular Mechanics Mag

and other objects may be made to al-

mony, with their surroundings, he
claims. Camouflage as practiced in
many cases is accomplished largely by
the use of paint, objects being given
shades that blend with the landscape.
In spite of certain difficulties that
would arise. it is believed that such
efforts at cOncealment could be render

Work Which, Only Women Can Do.
Whatever our other activities, we
must go on with our knitting" In
a very literal sense. SoX, sweaters,
wristlets, and bands and then more
sox will be needed in far greater num-
bers than ever before. Surgical dress
ing and bandages, also, must be sup
piled by the shipload, and food must
be conserved. In these affairs the
world leans on women for support. But
II each woman gives a little time sys-
tematically to Red Cross work and
looks after the conservation Of food in
her own home. the great total OF
achievement will do the work and fill
needs depending on us. Our part Is
easy compared to that Of the soldiers
and sailors. 1t is amazing that there
are women, with time and means Mt
their disposal, who, because they have
no relatives In the army or navy. are
taking no interest, much less any nc.
tive part in the work to be done. They
are not worth fighting for, and should
be held up to the sc0rn they deserve.
Now is the time when cold s%clfshness
will betray itself.

That Jackets will be short rather
