EASY TO WRITE WITH TOES
Assertion Made That Accomplish
nent" Can Be Acquired in a Com
paratively Short Time.

When next you go to the zoo, watch
the monkeys use their hands, suggests
the Popular Science Monthly. Notice
how they seize things with their fists.
They do not use their finger-ends as
we do. While the higher monkeys,
such as gorillas and chimpanzees, may
he taught to use their fingers, they
never learn TO use them as easily as
do human beings.
The monkey is primarily a tree
dweller. It lives in forests and swings
from tree to tree, using its hands as
hooks with which ii grasps the
branches. The thumb is NOS brought
into play. Some South American mon
keys have lost the thumb through dis
use; all that is left OF it is indicated
by little lump under the skin.
In the higher monkeys the wrist is
built like yours. II has the same num-
Der of bones. But the monkey has
never used his wrist, and SO II has lost
The Reliability. The monkey can use
his fist to better advantage than his
hands.
Man, on the other hand, has used his
feet so long simply for the purpose of
walking, that he would experience con-
siderable difficulty in using them as
he uses his bands. Yet, it is amazing
how quickly n man can learn to use
his toes as he does his fingers. If you
don't believe this. just try to write
with YOUR toes. AT first the letters
will be very large and awkward. But
with very little practice Won will
find that you can write with your foot
more easily than with yoJr lC.. land,
if you are naturally right-handcd. II
is an attractive exercise with which
to while away an hour. We know you
will try the experiment.

We do not have to look in books
or go to lectures to find stories of
true heroism. They are all about
US and we see them every day. On
ly recently we stood at depot in a
nearby town and watched a soldier
boy tell lis aged mother and young
wife goodbye. when l come back
again, the war will be ever, mother
lie said as he kissed her goodbye.
His wife chung to him but his mother
only smiled and waved him farewell.
When the train had rounded the
curve and passed from view, she
broke down in tears. AS they led
her weeping away, We could not but
imagine a brighter light browning
her silver hair and hallowing her
countenance, as an eternal tribute
the love of mOthers-the true heroes
Of all the wars.

Siam Adopts New Eisu.

Slams white elephant flag is to be
abandoned for the red, white and blue
cOlors Of democracy. Commenting on
this, the Christian Science Monitor
says:
"In spite of the fine feeling of en-
thusiasm for the allied cause which
it shows, one can not but be sorry
that Siam should have decided to dis
card her own splendidly original flag,
showing white elephant on a red
field, for tricolOr resembling that of
the great entente powers of the West.
Siam sees in the red, white and blue
flag the colors which throughout the
world stand as rallying sign against
barbarism.' 1t is quite interesting to
find that red, white and blue do as a
matter Of fact figure in the national
flags Of Britain, France the United
States, Russia, Serbia, Cuba, Panama.
Costa Rica, Paraguay and Liberin.
And now Siam must be added. If it
is really quite true that the white ele-
plant is doomed"

Ships Docs Are Sea Heroes.

Many dogs have received decorations
during the war-not from the govern.
ment, of course, but from soldiers and
sailors, according to q London dis.
patch in the European edition of the
New York Herald.
A naval officer just returned from
the Mediterranean tells an interesting
story of the pet on his ship. The dog,
taken young, was rated as ''puppy."
when II seems, in naval estimate, is
pretty humble rating. However, the
dog conducted himself like a gentle.
man and a scholar, the officer declares,
and was in due time decorated with
the insignia of A. +. dog.
He misbehaved on various occasions
and failed to do his part in one or two
brushes with submarines, so he was

EMMY RENTED to puppy" Ever since,
the story goes, he has been striving to
retrieve himself, but thus far he has
not recovered his rank.
1t is said that the dogs on the ships
which fought at Jutland-and there

GREAT WRITER'S NEAR DUEL
ToIstoy and Turoenev In Fierce Dis
pute That Might Have Led to
Deadly Encounter.

Tolstoy and Turgenev, famous Rus
sian novelists, were contemporaries
and friends, but on one occasion they
had q serious falling out. AS gathered
from a recent biography, this is the
story of their quarrel: The two ia
mouse novellsts met at friends house.
Turgenev spoke enthusiastically Of
his young daughters new English gov
erness, mentioning that she required
the child to mend old, ragged clothes
to give to the poor. "Do you consider
that goodT demanded Tolstoy. II GER
tainly do" replied Turgenev; at makes
the charity workers realize everyday
needs" "And l think that a we'll
dressed girl with filthy, malodorous
rags in her hands is acting an insincere
farce" commented Tolstoy. IL ask
you not to say that exclaimed Tur-
genev, holly. "Why should l not say
what am convinced is true?" retorted
Tolstoy "If you say that again I will
box your ears!" Turgenev cried, white
with rage, and rushed from the room.
A duel was narrowly averted. After
ward these famous men became rec
Onciled, and on his dcathbed Turgenev
wrote an affecting note to Tolstoy, ad-
dressing him as "the great writer of
our Russian land."-OutloOk.

Chinese Queues Not Barred.

Although the traffic in human hair
has not been SO brisk during the past
few years as formerly on account of
the veering of the fashions in hair
dressing toward the EXTREMIST simple
ity, there are millions of pounds Of
human hair exported from China. One
of the peculiar facts in connection
with the trade is that often after the
Chinese send the hair to us we treat
it and dye it and send it back to be
made up for special use. This is usual
ly true in regard 10 the invisible hair
nets which American and European
women use TO keep their own locks
In order On a windy day.
The hair-net business has become of
great Importance to the province of
Shantung, which now provides practic-
ally the entire supply for the market.
Thus the hair net worn by the veriest
stay-at-home in America has doubtless
crossed the ocean three times.-Popu-

Lightning at Sea.

When proper precautions are taken
ships at sea are I'm no danger of being
destroyed by lightning. OF all the dan
gers that beset the seaman, lightning
is the only one that he can guard
against with perfect thoroughness
Permanent conductors, properly ar
ranged, offer the most complete pro
lection from the electric fluid.
Before this fact was well under
stood, lightning was Il very frequent
cause of damage to shipping. In 1905
to 1915 no fewer than seventy vessels
of the English navy were entirely Grip
pied by being struck. 1t was no un-
common thing for vessels to be set on
fire so completely by lightning as to
defy extinction, with the result that
those on board who were not killed by
the electric discharge in many in
stances probably lost their lives
through being unable to let down the
boats before the fire reached them.

big battle now in progress, which
may be deciding factor in the titan
ic struggle, yet we are afraid to
base any hopes on the uprising Of
the German people, just yet. 1t is
hard matter to start a revolution,
no matter how intolerable the condi-
tons, in any well-organized county,
even in peace times. In Germany,
efficient and victorious, 1t is harder
still. If the war should end now,
Germany would be the winner; the
people know this, and they wish to
push it to a conclusion before the
Americans finally arrive in full
force and thwart their plans.
When the great drive finally comes,
with their land invaded and their
royal family fleeing from Berlin like
a bevy of mice before an army of
cats, perhaps the German people will
come to their senses.

Training Little Children.

Children are so open-heartcd and
ready and respond so sweetly and
quickly Ia faith and trust that we often
miss great happiness by not sharing
our hopes and joys more freely with
them.
If we keep the bond very close, our
home will become the great meeting
place of all children, and this love and
companionship between parents and
children will be like a powerful mag
net whose attraction the children can
not resist.
So, from these beginnings the home
tie will be so strengthened that we
need never fear that the allurements
Of the world can draw our children
from us, but can rest assured that they
will always return TO the center of
deep repose."

LESSON WAS TOO REALISTIC
Glass in First-Aid Work Promptly
Proved That "Nerve" Was Thing
They Lacked.

A doctor of q small town Of central
Missouri was instructing a class of 80
enthusiastic young women in first
aid work.
The lesson for the evening was on
nerve, and he was endeavoring to en-
tighten them as to just what was
meant by 'nerve." and how it was es-
pecially necessary in the case of acci-
dents.
The instructor continued by saying
4 distinguished physician had said that
Nerve means you must be cool, you
must he very cool, you must be -
cool"
Just as he finished this explanation,
scream was heard outside, followed
by several pistol shots. The outer door
into the basement of the town library,
where the class was being held, was
flung open. Two men, struggling to-
gether, their clothes drenched in blood,
rolled down the steps into the room.
There were means from the writhing
forms on the floor, but the class did
not hear them. They had flown, not
only to the outer door, but to friend
ly shelter across the street.
Nor, when the doctor went across to
them, and explained that the shooting
aifray was only sham one between
two college boys, which he was using
to illustrate his lecture, would they re-
turn.
They had completely lost their
nerve they explained. and their
nerves were 81 shaken they must go
home at once, and so they did.

DESIRES TO HAVE
NATIONS OPINIONS
ON PEACE TREATY
Idaho Senator to Call Up Sub
iect and Demand Public
Be Admitted

Washington. Nov. 15.-The ques-
ton of whather the forthcoming
peace conference shall b open, so
peace conference shall be open, so
settled can be kept informed regard
ing the discussions, will be discussed
thoroughly in the Senate within the
next few days.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, one of
the leading Republican members of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee and an earnest advocate of
open diplomacy" has served notice
he would call up the subject within
three or four days, and demand that
the sessions of the conference be
open TO the public.
Senator Borah heartily indorsed
the plea for an open conference.
Senator PoindeXter, of Washing
ton, another Republican Senate lead
er, also strongly favored publicity
OF the proceedings of the conference.
Senator McCumber. of North Da-
kota, n Republican member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, expressed "just a little doubt" as
TO the wisdom of having the confer
ence open.
Senator Pomerene. of Ohio. a
Democrat and a member of the For
eign Relations Committee, said that,
although he favored an open discus

present might enter into the peace
conference and might require the
conferees to meet behind closed
doors.
