AMERICAN G|R[ HIGHLY HONOR[D.
 BY THE BRITISH

BERNIE, Switzerland, May 20 (by maiD For her continued work while in Berlin in behalf of British civilians interned in Ruhleben, Miss Geraldine M. De Courcy of Mississippi employed in the passport department of the United States legation at Berne, and similarly employed at the embassy in Berlin until the breach of diplomatic | relations between the United States and Germany, has been signally hon. ored by the British government.
 She has been given silver service, consisting of large and suitably en- graved loving cup. for having dis tinguished herself in the service of British prisoners in Germany" The cup has been delivered to the state de- partment in Washington, and will be given to Miss De Courcy as soon as congress gives its necessary permis- sion.
 The honor is the more striking be- cause Miss De Courcy is the only woman to be thus distinguished, just as she was the only woman permitted by the German government to visit Ruhleben, see the prisoners and at tend to their wants. She carried on the work tirelessly for eighteen months, went to the camp on nearly every occasion when Ambassador Gerard visited it, and often when he did not, and made herself very popu- lar among the prisoners of war.

 PREPARING FIR
 NEW COMMERCE

BUENOS AIRES, June 2S.-The Lloyd Brazilian Steamship Company has established another new line of boats between Buenos Aires and Be- lem, Brazil with callings at Monte. video. Rio Grande, Santos, Bahia, Mac cio, Recife (Pernambuco) and Ceara. This new service was naugurated by the steamship Rio Janiero, which sailed from this port recently with 1 passengers, mail and cargo
 In short time thereafter other | boats were placed on this run It is believed that the new enterprise has been we'll planned and that its sue cess is assured. The greater part ot the ships which once carried the traf fic between these ports belong to European companies and have since the war been placed on transatlantic routes.
 I The Lloyd Brazilian company al ready has established several lines between Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Chile. This company, instead ot liquidating its boats at the high prices brought about by the war, has bought l all the available tonnage in South l American waters for the purpose of enlarging it's formerly small fleet. l Since the war began Argentina has been selling off her boats, until today she is practically without the sem. blance of merchant marine. Brazil on the other hands hal been buying boats as fast as Argentina sold them, and now possesses several regular lines of steamers with sailings be- tween the principal Argentine and Brazilian ports.
 The sailing of an Argentina boat from Buenos Aires has become an un- common thing. The few ships that re- main under the Argentine flag are destined at an early date to be sold to H foreign countries.
 Brazilian companies have taken ad. |l vantage of Argentlna's inclination to realize immediate, large profits from the sale of her boats, and has ac- quired ships of every class. Argentina today is at great disad- vantage and entirely unable to com, pete with Brazil in shipping. It will be many years before she is able to overcome the lead in shipping which Brazil has acquired so rapidly.

PRACTICAL TRAINING.

Tact, kindness and encouragement
will work wonders in any household.
Hence the mother who aspires tc
such favorable results should prac.
tice these golden virtues. She must
become interested in her children's
school work, encourage them to make
a good showing in their studies and
see to it that they have a full meas
ure of play; but she should not neg
lect the practical side Of their train
ing.
If she is anxious to have them
learn business methods, as well as
to realize that there is dignity at
tached to all honest labor, she will
single out certain small daily tasks
for them to perform.
She should take the time to per-
sonally instruct her little ones in
these duties and then she might go
a step further and make the work
keenly interesting and of value by
setting a certain price on every chore
well done.

SUN MAKES ALKALI IN WATER
Series Of Experiments by Scientists
Produces Interesting
information.

That many marine plants cause
sea water to become more alkaline
when exposed to sunlight is def
nitely proved through interesting ex-
periments devised by W. j. V. Oster-
hout and A. r. G. Haas of the labo-
ratory of plant physiology, Harvard
university, and described by them in
Science.
These gentlemen have found o
way to measure accurately the in
creased alkalinity. Without going
into details, it may be said that this
consists in immersing a green sea-
weed in a glass tube of salt water
to which few drops Of phenophtha-
lein has been added. After expos
ure to sunlight, the water turns pink
and the degree of pinkness, meas
ured by matching against the colors
of a series Of tubes containing the
same concentration of Indicator in a
series Of "buffer solutions" of known
alkalinity, gives the quantity of al
kali produced by the action of the
sunlight.

WHY FISHING IS GOOD FUN
Wonderful Lake Fish That, However,
Are Only Trouble
Makers.

Bruce Barton says in the Ameri-
can Magazine, quoting first from
Isaak Walton:
"T have found it to be a real
truth that the very sitting by the
rivers side is not only the quietest
and fittest place for contemplation,
but will invite an angler to it, and
this seems to be maintained by the
learned Peter du Moulin, who, in
hi2 discourse on the fulfilling Of
prophecies, observes that when God
intended to reveal any future events
or high notions to his prophets he
then carried them either to the des-
erts or the seashore, that having SO
separated them from amidst the
press of people and business, and tho
cares of the world, he might settle
their mind in quiet repose, and
there make them fit for revelation
"There is wonderful fishing in
our lake in Foxboro. | have enjoyed
it in peace and thankfulness by the
hour. 1t would be flawless but for
one thing-I mean the fish. When
one is immersed in the spiritual en-
terprise Of fishing, | know Of moth
ing more distracting than to have
fish attack the line and demand
attention. / do not know how fish
get into our lake. We never put any
in and we have frequently warned
the neighbors not to do it in our alb
sence. They are merely trouble max
ers. One brings them home and is
met by ones wife with the age-old
taunt:
"Gf you expect to eat those little
things you will have to clean them
I'D yOurself.'"

The Unlted States Fuel Ad-
ministration considers it neces
sary that limited conservation
Of gasoline be undertaken in view
Of the Increasing demand fol
gasoline for war purposes anc
the paramount obligatlan o
meeting promptly and fully al
overseas requirements.
An appeal Is made, therefore,
to the people to exercise rigid
economy IN the consumption OF
gasoline as a necessary and
practical act of patriotism.
The United States Fuel Ad
mluistrator believes that the
greatest measure of economy
can be effected through the dis
continuance Of the use of all
classes of motor vehicles and
motorcycles, on Sundays, with
the least interference with
business and, therefore, requests
that there shall be a dlscontinu
ance of the use OF motors az
above specified on each Sunday
hereafter until notification that
the need for such dlscontlnuance
has ceased.
The following exceptions are
made:
Motor trucks employed in
transporting freight.
Motors of physicians used in
performance of professional
duties.
Undertakers vehicles and con.
veyance used for funerals.
Telephone and telegraph re.
pair vehicles.
Motor vehicles on errands oi
actual necessity.
Ia addition to the above appeal
is made to patriotic men and
women to undertake, voluntar-
lily additional conservation, IN
the operating of their own auto
mobiles, wherever possible. II
