ADD COLOR TO THE GARDEN
Goldfnches, Always Attracted by Sun
flowers, Make Beauty Spot
Especially Attractive.

A very familiar bird in our gardens.
especially when there are sunflowers
growing there, is the beautiful little
American goldfinch.
Their deep black wings and tail and
little cap form striking, though pleas
ing, contrast to their bright yellow
bodies.
Because of their sweet, canary-like
notes they are often called wild ca
naries.
They are very ssociable little birds.
being found usually in small f1ocks
they even build their nests in small
communities.
When winter approaches the male
changes his bright yellow coat for one
of a soberer color closely resembling
that of the female.
Numbers Of them feed upon the sun
flowers in my garden every year, and 1t
is a pleasing sight to go in there and
see their bright yellow bodies flashing
In the sun. .sr
They are hardy little fellows, spend

WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY
Remarkable Impetus Given to the
Mining and Refining Of the
Mineral in Japan.

The high-water mark in the devel-
opment of zinc mining and refining in
Japan has been reached since the out
break of the present war. Zinc was
first mined in commercial way in
1897, but even as late at 1911 the out
put was still only about 10000 tons.
The refining Of the ores was not start
ed on a large scale until 1914. The
rising quotations Of the metal in all
markets gave the industry great Inn
petus in Japan, so that in 1915 21.OOO
tons of refined goods and In 1915 49,
600 tons were produced. 1t us esti-
mated that the production in 1917 to-
tailed some $4,000 tons. 1t is said
that. the refineries can produce as
high as 100000 tons year, but as
this takes some 25O,OO0 tons Of zinc
ore the problem before Japan is to
obtain 100000 tons Of ore In foreign
markets, as only $4,000 tons are mined
In Japan. In the past Japan has bought
ore from China, Australia and Russia.
the greater part Of the ore, however,
coming from Australia. 1t has been
reported that Great Britain plans re-
finery in Australia In order to produce
zinc in that portion Of her empire. II
true, this, it is said, may force Japan
to seek her raw material In some other
market. g-ee &c.. -.

All Serbian peasants are great WALK
ers. A servant, given short leave,
will think nothing Of footing it to nus
home, five and twenty miles on, ana
walking back after short day spent
with his family.
It is quite in the ordinary way Oh
their business for both men and women
to be two days on the road to market
Owing to their remarkable marcn-
ing powers Serbian troops are mobil-
ICED and moved with surprising rapid
ity, in spite of the great lack OF rail-
way communication. And then they
march light.
With little in the bread-bag that
hangs at his belt the Serbian soldier
is quite content If only he can ron
himself a cigarette now and then ana
look forward perhaps to tot OF plum

Moses Selig has been in business for

FEED FOE BY TUNNEL
German Smugglers on Swiss
Border Use Pipe Line.
subterranean Line From House Across
the Frontier Is Revealed by
Chance. "'

Basle.-Hunger Is the mother of In
yentions. German hunger invented a
great smuggling device which did
booming business until discovered BY
customs officers. Some Germans, liv-
Ing In Baden, near the Swiss frontier,
built pipe line across the frontier.
It ended in house rented to a Ger
man family. What this family con-
sumed in the line of food, clothing,
shoes, soap and other necessaries was
really astounding. However, these
people bought things in the open mar
ket, which is still possible in Switzer-
land, paid cash, never grumbled, no
matter how high the price and no
questions were asked.
One day recently two men were seen
digging In the ground near the 'front.'
Ter. Customs officials became suspi-
cious, and nosing around soon made
q valuable discovery. The two men
were engaged in repairing the pipe
line, which had been used for SNUG
Cling. The machinery had become
clogged and an opening had to be made
to get at the seat Of the trouble.
The officials saw an opening had
been made into spacious tunnel built
Of concrete. Inside the pipe were
long wires. These wires were wound
round spools at the end stations and
could be pulled either way. Goods,
such as meat, cheese, hams, shoes,
clothing, etc., were tied to the wire
and pulled across the border through
the subterranean channel.
The Swiss government is now after
the slnugglers. The flourishing "busi-
ness'' is killed.

Barbarians North OF
;,.AA., Eisme&

With the American Army on the
Vesle Front.-Sixty Prussians have
been taken prisoner by the Americans
near Fismette, north of Fismes, with
out either side firing shot. The Prus-
SLAMS were machine gunners, and all
that remained Of company which had
been In line less than month. .-.
American detachments went out a
few nights ago, the location of the ma.
chine gun positions having been re-
ported by prisoner. According to the
Americans, the Prussians were walt
ing to be taken prisoner. The intelli-
gence officer who questioned the Prus-
slams asserted that they nearly all had
agreed to surrender If the slightest OPP
portunity arose.
The Americans who took the pris-
oners do not claim any credit for the
capture, declaring that the Prussians
virtually deserted their posts.

costly and heavy professional ma
chimes as a compact, light camera does
to a cumbersome apparatus employed
by portrait photographers. Exclusive
of its tripod, the new movie camera
weighs less than three and a half
pounds. It uses standard film and IS
operated as easily as any simple "still'
instrument. The capacity Of its maya
zines, designed for daylight loading, Is
twenty feet, which, because eight In
stead of sixteen pictures are taken per
second, records as much action as
forty feet of film In professional ma
chine. Sharp, clear pictures capable
of reasonable enlargement for "stills"
are obtained. BY changing the lens at
taching q light frame with reels OF
2OO-foot capacity, and mounting q
small, cylindrical lamphouse, the CAM
era is converted into a protector.

PLEASANT WAY ALWAYS BEST
Nothing Ever Lost by Effort to Take
Sting Out of Request That Must
< Be Refused. -

DO you know how to take the sting
out of anything unpleasant you have
to do? 1t is good plan to learn how
to do this. r.. s. =
"She said she couldn't do it, but you
know how Fife would say such.a thing.
She tries SO hard to make everybody
feel pleasant. Now, when I say no,
people understand that mean no.
Marcia looked as well pleased with
herself as If she had announced q more
amiable characteristic. She was girl
with q peculiarly blunt and uncom-
promising manner. II she refused re-
quest, her refusal was as downright as
q blow. 1t was never softened by any
little phrase suggesting regret. And
self that she felt something like con-
tempt for the way Effie took the sting
out Of saying nos and made the people
to whom she refused favor as CRATE
full as IL she had granted 1t.
The girl who starts to go through
life with her elbows out is going to
find the road hard to travel. II she
prides herself on being blunt and out
spoken, she may need to use that as
consolation for her sore heart many a
time. 1t pays to make even refusal
pleasant. 1t pays to take out the sting
whenever possible, and drop In the
honey. One who starts out as Marcia
did, priding herself on being blunt, and
contemptuous of the little courtesies,
is likely to come to old age friendless
and embittered. Learn to be pleasant
and take out the sting.-Exchange

SLOUGH HAT OUT OF FAVOR
Picturesque Headgear No Longer
Worn by American Soldiers on
the Fighting Fronts. -

The SLOUGH hat has for many years
been regarded in Europe as distinctive
~ American, although for as many
years 1t has been no more commonly
worn in the United States than in the
British isles, and over a considerable
part, of the continent. Nevertheless,
the typical American is almost invari-
ably pictured in soft hat, and the soft
felts worn by the soldiers Of the
American expeditionary forces to
France helped to sustain the tradition.
In the Civil war the soldiers of the
North wore caps. Soft felts were
chosen for soldiers operating against
the Indians on the plains because they
were supposed to afford greater protec-
ton than caps from the glare. They be-
came regulation head covering for
the army In the Spanish-American war.
and, because they matched the khaki
uniform, they have been In use ever
since. Now, however, General Per-
shing IL said to have decided that these
hats must be discarded In favor Of
brimless and peakless caps, and the
reason for the proposed change Is
characteristic Of the period that has
introduced into war so many innova-
lions. The rim Of the soft felt hat
throws shadow on the periscope
used In the trenches SO as to interfere
with sighting by the wearer; also,
when worn by tall men, the crown may
be seen above the parapets by the en-
my; also, gas mask can be adjusted
much more quickly over brimless and
