1t is the German theory of war that
frightfulness is a profitable military
policy because it has q terrorlzing effect
on enemy nations. But if heavy bill
of damage is assessed on this account,
the German theory of war may be
modified. Sickening stories are Just
now being received in London of the
barbarism with which Italian prisoners
of war are being treated in German
prison camps. Apparently one Of the
decisions which the average man finds
it most difficult to conquer is that Ger
many in warfare still retains some of
the finer attributes that raise mankind
above the level Of wild beasts.
The ingenuity of the scheme for con-
serving coal in the United States is no
less remarkable than is their number.
The latest claim is that a saying of
more than 1000, 900 tons year may be
made by reducing. in all cities, the num-
Der of street car stops, and by knitting
the use of coal for heating cars. The
folly of this, and of other plans like it,
should be made evident by the simple
statement that there is no occasion for
saving fuel, except in unnecessary en-
ergencies like the present. There is
more fuel in the United States than
can be used in /, 900 years. The thing
really needed is competence in distribu-
ton.

Getting Out
of theRut
By Eleanor Gilbert

THERE seems to be. an epidemic
nowadays of tob-changing.
So many new and unusual
occupations for women are
receiving publicity that the virus
of wanderlust seems to enter the
spirit of even the most confirmed
stay-at-homea
Pm in a rut in my present job
and want to do something else.
What work shall take upr" That
is one of the commonest Of in
ouIries that come to me these days.
OF course there is a demand for
women in many war jobs. but that
doesn't mean that It is advisable
for every woman to change her job
whenever the caprice moves her.
You can't get out of the rut mere
" by changing a job. II your pres
ent work seems monotonous. there
is no guarantee that another occu-
nation will not be equally monoton-
Gus within a few weeks or months.
To get out OF the nut you have to
acquire something more than new
lob, and that one thing is enthu-
siasm. Enthusiasm Is the only cure
for monotony. Without enthusiasm
any task. even the unpaid task OF
love. like keeping house, becomes
monotonous. without enthusiasm
even the arts like writing, painting.
scuIpturing, produce their hours OF
intolerabIe, drudgery and the pur-
suit Of beauty becomes a mo
notonous task
II is only when you have tire
mendous enthusiasm for piece OF
work that the blue devils OF mo-
notony are forever dispelled- II
YOU are keenly enthusiastic about a
lob. whether 1t is sewing waists or
typing letters, OF selling goods over
a counter, you become tireless and
seem never to experience fatigue
until you throw aside your work
and try to rest.
You wonder sometimes how ply
sicians keep on their feet busily
for days at a time with scarcely
any sleep, and yet perform their
tasks so wondrously well. 1t Is no
supernatural power-simply the
electricity Of enthusiasm which
charges their energies like a live
battery.
or course, it isn't easy to develop
enthusiasm over some OF the simple
routine tasks. But you can do II.
Think how useful II is: keep a-plan-
ming in your mind for advancement
from this job to a better one; try
to do the work much better than
the person who used to do IL before
you: try to think up ways OF doing
the work In less time.
II you can do things and thus
display your personal ability. you
will not only be rendering a serv-
ice. but you will ~ stimulating
yourself TO a point where monotony
has no fears for you.

The Vienna Roll.

In reference to the crescent. the
story Of the origin of the crescent
shaped Vienna roll is worth recall
ing. 1t arose in the sixteenth CEN
fury. when the Turks were besieg-
ing Vienna. Failing to carry it by
assault, they began TO mine the
walls. At that period the city's
bakehouses were in the walls under
the fortifications, and when the
mines were almost through the
sound Of the work was heard in
the underground bakehouses and
an alarm was given. To celebrate
this event the bakers OF Vienna
adopted the Turkish emblem as the
FORM in which to mold and bake
their bread

low. as told you in tho
nj last story. Puss Junior
felt very sorry. for the
two old parents of the
beautiful girl, who cared for moth
ing in the whole world but to deck
herself out in fine clothes. So he
said to himself, LII have a talk
to her parents, and maybe / can
show them a way TO cure her of
her foolishness. So he knocked on
the door of the little cottage. and
there he found the two old folks,
sitting in the dim twilight weep
ing.
What is the NATTER" asked
Puss, although Of course he knew
all the time it was their daughters
selfishness that made them SO I'M
happy. And then they told him
that it was the behavior OF their
daughter that made them so mis-
cradle
Cheer up" said little Puss Ju-
nior. 81 will find a way to help
you" And then he went out and
climbed up a hill and knocked on
the door of a little house where
lived a fine your fellow named
Jolly Tom. And after Puss had fold
him all about the pretty girl and
the trouble she caused her two kind
parents. he said:
"Tf you will marry the girl
will show you how to make a good
wife out of her"
VERY WELL" said Jolly Tom. 81
need a wife, and as you seem to be
a very wise cat. / will marry her
and trust to YOU"
Come with me. then" said Puss.
So Ne and Jolly Tom started off
down the hill to see the old par
ents.
What. Marry our daughter?
they cried, when Jolly Tom asked
for her hand in marriage. She
is vain. and idle. and bad-temper-
ed"
"Oh, we'll manage all that" said
little Puss Junior. And he winked
at Jolly Tom who began to feel
discouraged, you know.
So the next day Jolly Tom and
the pretty girl were married. for
she was very anxious to be the
mistress of a home. and they took
Puss Junior along with them to the
little house on the hill.
And whenever Mrs. Jolly Tom
got angry or cross. Puss would
double himself up and turn somer-
obliged to laugh.
And II Mrs. Jolly Tom sat idle,
with folded hands, when there was
plenty to do. Puss would say. "Oh,
what . hne wax figure. Please

At a certain camp a new guard

r. LzABETH WADE was ap-
- palled by John Buffers out
burst She had thought she
had prepared herself for his
disapproval Of her brothers scheme.
but she had hoped that when she
explained the reason of the plot he
might understand and pardon It
Now, As she looked at his pale
face and noted the agitated witch
ing of his mouth, her heart sank
Yet why should the information
that Clifford Chaplin had given him
distress him to such an extent
even IL Clifford had told him that
she was not Lizzie Moore, was not
related to the Chapinz, and that
Douglas Wade was her brother?
She attempted to summon her
startled wits.
Mr.. Butler she begged, please
let mo explain Clifford Chaplin
could not have told everything to
you, because he did not know It all.
He did not know why Douglas had
me come here under an assumed
name"
The man did not 5eply, but stood
gazing at her with an expression
of panied incredulity.
81 tell you I did not believe what
he said" he muttered-
But" gently, 81 am not Lizzie

steady her trembling voice. You

yourself tell me 1t Is true. I will
not let anyone else mention tho
matter to me-"
A sound at the door made them
both turn.
Amos Chaplin stood on the thresh-
old OF the parlor, watching them.
His face was dark and his voice
disappearing.
What are you two talking
about?" he demended. ~You both
seem very much excited"
Elizabeth attempted Q laugh. but
only succeeded in perpetratins a
hysterical giEgle.
Not q Bit Excited
why no, we are not excited she
said. I'VE were only talking over 3
little matter that is of no particu-
lar consequence"
Her reply had given Butler time
to regain his self control.
why do you ask what We were
talking about, Mr.. Chaplin he
queried suddenly. Did you imagine
that IL was something in which you
would be interested"

Implication that he was meddling In
that which was none OF his bud-
ness.
at might easily be something I
was interested IN" he retorted- II
was talking only . while ago to
Lizzie about something that con-
Germs me and that might be of In
terest to her. I was telling her that
I had made an OFFER for the farm"
Il knew II already" the girl re-
minded him
Butler looked from one speaker to
the other. He was completely oaf-
ned. The farmers manner was
threatening. as II he were In pos
session OF some secret that would
embarrass the girl, who stood, her
great wide eyes fixed denantfy on
his coarse face.
YES" she repeated. Il knew II
already"
And you don't want me to buy
the place" Chaplin accused
She shrugged her shoulders. That
Is a matter that Is between you and
Douglas" she said.
1t was now the farmers turn to
be astounded. Here was Elizabeth
speaking OF Wade in the presence
of Butler as II she were willing to
have him know of her relationship
to the owner Of the farm
Chaplin was suddenly frightened.
He had let his temper betray him
into adopting a menacing manner
toward Elizabeth Wade. Her indie
pendence, her defiance OF his power.
had angered him.
He also mad been cagrined that
Wade had not given him an imme-
date answer to his offer to pur-
chase his property. Delay was dan
gerous to the would-be buyer at
this juncture. To antagonize Eliza
beth Just now. and. through her.
to antagonize her brother. was still
more dangerous. He must make
