cunner's Mate Wins Praise.

Frederick Peterson Yost, chief gum
ner's mate, United States navy, has
received letter commencing him for
the excellenS work Of the armed guard
of which he was in charge on cargo
ship attacked by submarine. The
promptness with which the submarine
was picked up and fired upon and the
accuracy Of aim proved the efficiency
of the gun crew. Yost enlisted in the
navy at Philadelphia, Pa, October 3,
1907, and gave as his next of kin his
father, Albert John Yost, Centerville,
r. ]. Here is a characteristic report
from this gunner: 'Night and fog
when sub was sighted, port bow.
Ship started to swing when enemy
crossed port bow, giving the appear
ance of craft from 200 to 800 feet.
Showed one gun astern. We fired
three shots, one striking coming tower
and exploding, while the third shot,
fired as the sub got broad off the ships
beam, hit abaft coming tower. Crew
of sub taken by surprise, as there were
no return shots. We fired still an
other shot while sub was going under,
striking near coming tower. Firing
was heard following this attack from
distance, it being learned later that
another ship had been attacked and
sunk" ,r

England Breeds Rabbits for Food.

England Breeds HdbbltS Tor ROOD.
Rabbit breeding in England has been
undertaken by the government in an
effort to relieve the shortage of meat
due to the war.
The National Utility Rabbit asso-
citation, it was announced recently, has
established central breeding station
and stud exchange in Vauxhall, Lon
don. The first club started in London
under auspices Of the association is at
the Royal news, Buckingham palace.
The primary object is to build up as
quickly as possible large supply of
the best pedigreed stock, which will be
sent to provincial breeding centers.
These in turn will supply breeding
stock to smaller stations.
Each of the larger provincial centers
will have 100 breeding does, while the
smaller stations will keep on hand
about 20 each. 1t is the hope of Off
Gals that all allotment societies, food
production organizations, women's in
stitutes and many factories, munition
works, school and summer camps will
form rabbit clubs to be affiliated with
the national association.

Then, says the Tribune, Colonel Gar

FREE IN CRITICISM
Marginal Notes Upon Books Are
Sometimes Severe.
Readers Estimates Of the Works in a
Circulating Library Apt to Be
Irritating to Author, it
He Saw Them.

Not only is the battered condition of
certain works of fiction in circulating
libraries sure proof of their popular
ity, but one may even gather details
from the marginal notes made by
feminine readers. It is not sufficient
for the Commemorative pencil to under
score admired passages, observes a
writer in the New Orleans Times-Pica-
yune; adjectives of praise also are
freely if not always discriminatory
bestowed.
On the closing page of some favorite
novel may often be read: "Fine!
splendid Lovely" or-highest
commentator of all-"Grand" One
notemaker undertook the large order,
II would read every single word she
writes" and another avowed, with
more justice than she knew, "You
don't often find book like this"
On the other hand, these unprofes-
sional critics can be terribly severe. A
novel which takes them out of their
depth is denounced as "a great big
BORE" or, with rude terseness, "Rot y
IL,
peration, "You think you know it al"
A vigorous commentator on one OF
Mary Cholmondeley's novels did not
wait for the last, but on the first page
warned away possible readers with
the word, "Punk," and three exclama-
ton points. The sprawling, uniformed
hand pursued the author with invet-
crate scorn throughout the book, mani
Testing that strange sense of superb
ority which frequently characterizes
ignorance. ... =. ~-.. ill.,. -.
A verse of French poetry evoked
the impatient query, "Why not write
Greek?' while above another was
scrubbed, saw, piffle! We are not all
French, you know" Observe that no
intellectual curiosity was kindled in
that thick brain to know what the
French words meant, nor any realiza-
ton awakened that we enrich our
selves by knowledge of another lam
guage. s.5
The authors humorous touches were
clearly taken as serious by this out
ragged reader who, after one passage,
wrote mockingly, 'My hero!" When a
masculine character says something
''hoarsely" it is asked with biting sar-
casm, did he have a cOld?"
The hero conducts the heroine
through a dark room, Knocking her
carefully against pieces of furniture. !"
as usually happens when one person
tries to pilot another through obscure
ty, but this merciless critic demands,
wasn't he chivalrousY
OF a tastelessly arranged room the
author said, s.The furniture was not Of
the kind that expresses only one idea,
and that a bad one," which calls forth
the comment. Like this book" The
sun is not permitted to shine "brave-
ly'' without the jeer, 'The sun ought
to have q medal
Finally the cup Of the authors in
EQUITIES, so far as the captious reader
is concerned, quite overfiows, and on
the last page we find the verdict, sThis
book is the buggiest ever"
