constantly inculcated in the mind of
a marine that he must do superhuman
things simply because he is marine
and that his own conscience will call
him a criminal against himself and
his corps if he doesn't.
The first thing that a marine appli-
cant gets when he reaches the east
ern training camp at Paris island,
S. c., or the western camp at Mare
island, Cal, is a heart-to-heart talk.
And it's a talk that's work of art
a speech that tells Of the history of
the corps, from the beginning of the
continental marines in 1740 to the
present day, the great things the ma
rine corps has done and the great
things it has stood for. A talk that
tells of honesty and straightforward
ness and decency and cleanliness.
The Greed of the Marine.
And then, when the time of proba-
ton is over and the enlistment COM
pleted, the marine learns this:
Il am a soldier, though not an army
soldier. I go to sea, yet am not a
sailor. | am older than the soldier
of the army or the sailor of the navy.
| fight my cOuntry's battles every

in France, on ships at sea, or in air.

Il raised the first American flag

France. | carry a punch in either
hand. I'm a hard-fisted, three-way
fighting man. I'm a soldier of the
navy, U. S. marine"
That's the beginning. That's the
thing that sends the real flush of pride
into the new marines heart. And
when he walks out upon the training
ground and the physical director
parks out an order to seize the hori-
zontal bar and chin ten times, that
new marine does it! He may never
have chinned himself before. His
muscles may ache and twitch and do

Thousands of Girls Cut Off
Long Hair and Contribute 1t
to Country for War Purposes

AS proof of the sacrifices women are
willing to make when their sentiments
or emotions are aroused, it is related
that thousands of girls, both in Ger
many and France. cut off their long
hair and contributed it to their coun-
try for war purposes, says the PeO-
pies Home Journal. The instance is
not the first of its kind recorded in
history, however.
An interesting example of similar
devotion comes from northern Japan
where a great temple was in progress
OF erection. Immense timbers were
being hauled from the mountains to be
placed in the building, and the work
was delayed by the frequent breaking
of the ropes. At length an edict was
issued calling on the women to give
their long hair which could be woven
into ropes of sufficient strength for the
purpose.
SO generous was the response to the
edict that two ropes were woven, one,
it is claimed, was II inches in circum-
ference and 1,400 feet long; the other
10 inches around and 1900 feet long.
With these ropes the timbers were
dragged to the temple site without
further breakage.

First Automobile Patent
Taken Out in France Fifty
Years Ago by Pierre RaveI

The first automobile patent was
taken out in France so years ago by
Pierre Joseph Ravel, says New York
World. His patent covered "a steam
generator heated by mineral oils, to
be applied to steam locomotion on or
binary roads," Ravel constructed a
small Tilbury and fitted it with his new
engine, which developed three horse
power. Ravel seemed on the verge of
success, when the Franco-Prussian war
began and upset all his plans for the
time. Later he built several motor
cars in which petroleum was used for
the direct generation of motive power
by burning it under special conditions
in connection with certain quantities of
air. Later George 3. Selden, in Ameri-
ca and Johannes Spiel, in Germany,
simultaneously carried on experiments
that eventually resulted in the auto
mobile of today. To Selden, however,
belongs the credit of applying gasoline
to motorcars, as the plans of the Ger
man contemplated the use of kero-
Sene to supply power.

Few Songs of the Sea Secured Public
Favor as Quickly as Life on
the Ocean Wave"

The best and I6ost popular of all
TIE songs of the sailor boys is Epes
Sal gents "A Life on the Ocean Wave"
The words of this song were written
for Henry Russell, the well-known mu-
Sic composer. The subject of the song
was suggested to Sargent as he was
walking one breezy, sun-bright morning
i'll spring on the Battery in New York,
and looking out on the ships and small
craft leaving or enlering the harbor.
Having completed the song Sargent
went TO the office of the Mirror, wrote
the words and showed them TO his
friend, George 2. Morris. After read
ing the piece, Morris said: My dear
boy this is not "a song; it will never
do for music. but l should like to pub
lish it in the Mirror"
Some days after the publication,
Slgen met Russell, who said:
'Wnere is that song you promised
me?" Sargent's reply was: Il tried

times-because he's a United States
marine
Urged to Better Things.
There's something inside him, urg-
ing him on, telling him that he must
be better, better, better every hour,
every minute, every second of his life.
And when the long hours of drilling
start, that marine is not only willing
to go the limit-but eager! He's a
marine-hes simply got to know ev-
erything and be everything and do
everything!
Facing him everywhere are signs ::
eff You Don't Know You Get
Killed" And the marine knows. He
trains with the naked bayonet. He
goes out upon the rife range, and if
he doesn't qualify as an expert, a
marksman or sharpshOOter he kicks
himself all the way back to camp, and
sits up nights to dream out way of
making it up in some other way.
Exercises. Training. Work. Play.
They follow one after another in rush
ing sequence. Men boX-because the
movements of boxing are similar to
those OF hayonet fighting. They have

helps one to get in and out of
trenches. Swimming-and the men
even march to the swimming hole
because that develops every muscle
of the body.
Drill, hour after hour, while SER
geants bark and the man who misses
a step is his own worst enemy. Lee
lures, more drill, more work, more
play, more training. In seven weeks
the body and the mind of the marine
are at the edge of perfection. And
then, while the band plays and the
'1eft-behinds" cheer, he embarks for
France, via Quantico, there to work
again, play again and drill again. And
not until the moment Of the zero"
when the signal calls for fighting de-
mons to rush over the top, is that
training relaxed for moment. After
that it's not a question of training
but the results of it. And Chateau
Thierry and Belleau wood have told
those to the world.

No More Kisses for Yanks;
French Now Shake Hands in
Conferring Croix de Guerre.

Diplomats among the marines III
France have eliminated one of the hor-
rors of being a hero, the Washington
Times states. The announcement was
casually made in a report from marine
corps headquarters, describing the
winning and award of IL French war
crosses to members OF the American
legion, known to the Germans as devil
dogs. To be blunt about it, the news
is this: mo longer do French officers
kiss on each cheek an American who
has won the croix de guerre. Instead
the officer comforting the honor pins
the bronze decoration to the left breast
pocket of the hero and then shakes his
right hand.
AS yet the official files of the marine
corps have not disclosed the name OF
the diplomat who brought about the
change in French tactics in dealing
with American heroes. 1t is under
stood, however, that he is an officer of
70 mean rank, who lately returned to
the United States.
According to the information at
hand, the first occasion upon which
the French adopted the Misunderstanding
tactics of the American as an express
sion of esteem was in May just a few
weeks after a company of marines
sent in to relieve detachment of their
pals had driven off a storm battalion
of Germans who had tried to stampede
them.
The men were ordered to a section
of woodland to receive their hard-won
war crosses. A blare of trumpets
greeted them. Then, after a few words
of commentator, the French officers
approached the Americans and pinned
the medals. Some of the young heroes
were ready to turn the other cheek,
but to their surprise they found them
selves being shaken warmly by the
hand.
1t was no surprise when the Ameri-
cans at the end of the ceremony gave
a cheer, and a strong, lusty one, too.

BEGIN CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING NOW
Citizens Urged to Observe
Six Rules

Every patriotic citizen is expected
by the council of national defense
Washington, to cooperate with the
merchants as follows:
1. Spread Christmas shopping over
the months of October, November and
December. Do not wait. Start now.
2. Shop during the early hours of the
day.
3. Buy useful gifts (this does not ap-
Ply to toys).
4. Send before December 5 all Christ
mas packages which must go by mail
or express.
5. Avoid giving bulky articles, if
they must be sent by mail, freight or
express.
6. Garry home your purchases when
possible, and do not request special
deliveries.
The above rules must be carried out
so that man power will be released for
war work and transportation not con-
gested.
These rules are the outcome of an
agreement between the merchants of
the country and the war industries
board. The commercial economy adj
ministration of the state council of de-
tense is charged with the duty of car
rying them out. The public must help,
so begin your Christmas shopping now,
and remember the rules.

Soldiers of the Air Who
Have Given Up Their Lives.

The first man to lose his life in an
airplane accident was Lieut.. Thomas
L. Selfridge of the United States sig
nal corps, who was killed in Septem-
Der, 1908, while flying as a passenger
with Orville Wright at Fort Myer, Va.
The next fatal airplane accident oc-
Cured nearly year later in France,
when Eugene Lefebvre was enrolled
as one of the martyrs to the conquest
Of the air. Since the outbreak of the
war, of course, brave flyers without
number have given their lives to their
respective countries, and list of them
would fill pages. The first and per-
haps the only woman killed in an air
plane accident was Nine. D. Moore,
who lost her life at Etampes, France,
in 1911.

THE STAY-AT-HOMES

The girls they left behind them do not sit
With idle hands and grieve the hours

Nor seek forgetfulness in chattering

But, capable and strong and keen of wit,
They learn to plow and cook and nurse
and knit.
Keep books and bees; and fearless, brave
and gay,
Defend their men from worry and dis
may
With eager, blithe, undaunted woman's
grit.
Mother and sweetheart, sister, daughter,

Banded together by a sacred trust
And working with one leal, accordant

To serve with all their zest of love and
life
Those whose victorious strength and ar
dor must
Depend upon the girls they left be-
