FOUR FACTORS IN GREATNESS
Why Certain Men Are Raised High
Above the Crowd.

The merits by which men Of action
rise to greatness are four-intellect,
energy, courage and independence
says James Bryce in the Youths Com
panion. When those four are united
In the same person. and in quite ex-
ceptional measure, they raise him high
above the crowd. Other men defer to
his opinion, trust his predictions, re-
peat his phrases, rely on his firmness,
take him as their chief. If he sue
ceeds in what he undertakes, each
success confirms his authority and sur
rounds him with halo Of prestige. He
becomes power.
OF the four qualities enumerated,
that which impresses others Is indie
pendence, because 1t is so rare. The
man who, perceiving difficulties and
dangers, will face them alone, In re-
lance on his own judgment and force,
Is the natural and inevitable leader.
If he is large Of soul, true to his prin-
ciples and to his friends, he will win
affection and an even fuller measure
Of confidence. But the impression Of
that indefinable thing we call great
ness depends after all chiefly on the
impression that he makes Of the pow
er of initiative, Of an unshakable res
olution. The mass of mankind want
someone to follow, someone In whose
hands they can feel themselves safe.
as crew and passengers do when they
see their captain cool and dauntless In
the widest storm.

Building the City.

The new and better world after tha
war, of which we dream these days,
will not build itself any more than
the rubble which marks the site OF
Ypres or Louvain will come together
of itself into beautiful and splendid,
buildings, observes a writer. 1t will
take time and struggle and infinite pa
thence, and If men and women are not
willing to pay the price Of new and
better world. such will not come mere,
ly because they have airy visions Of
1t. Much Of our talk about better
things to come is too cheap and easy
and has not enough Of grip and pur-
pose to make 1t worth much. What
God Is giving us, and will give us in
those great after-the-war days, is a
wonderful opportunity. but we shall
have to meet that opportunity with
heroic endeavor and self-sacrifcing eff
fort before it can possibly become
fruitful. Talk is cheap and dreams are
sweet and inspiring. but 1t Is not with
these alone that the Kingdom Of God
Is builded in the earth and mankind
is won for righteousness and brother
hood.

LESS SINKABLE SHIP COMING
Hull Consists Of Two Parallel cyIin.
dricaI Shells Joined Throughout
Length by Diaphragms.

The French government has COM
tracted with the Foundation company,
which is building wooden ships for the
Emergency Fleet corporation. to turn
out for it five cargo "nonsinkable
ships" of 1920 tons dead weight.
The hSil Of these ships, says the
New York Sun, is to consist Of two
parallel cylindrical shells joined
throughout their length by a series Of
heavily braced diaphragms. Each cyl
indrical shell is divided not only into
watertight compartments by trans
verse bulkheads, but also is isolated
entirely from the adjoining shell and
from the sealed space between the
two. The latter space. which has a
watertight bottom and deck, Is not
used for cargo, but is provided solely
for reserve buoyancy.
at should not be called an unsink-
able ship" said Mr.. Doero. II would
call it rather one of the. less sink
able ships. 1t is seldom that a ship
has received more than one torpedo.
1t is extremely improbable that ship
will be struck by torpedoes on both
sides. We have tested an expert
mental design thoroughly at Paris,
and have found it entirely satisfac-
tory. The space required for the spe-
cial hull construction does not mate
rally lessen the bulk of cargo that
can be carried. We are convinced
that the ship will keep afloat after 1t
has been tOrpedOed."

BERRY PATCH FROM BARREL
How One Man Had Garden Despite
His Small Back Yard.

A Los Angeles man whose back yard
was too small for growing strawber-
ries conceived a clever idea, which Is
described In Popular Mechanics. He
made a strawberry patch out Of a
barrel. Holes about II inches apart
were bored in rows in its sides. Sew
eral tin cans with perforated bottoms
were piled one on the other in the
center Of the barrel and enough dirt
was thrown about them to fill the re-
ceptacle up to the first row Of holes.
After the dirt had settled sufficient
ly strawberry vines we're planted In
the holes and allowed to hang outside.
This process was repeated until the
barrel was full and vines had been set
In all the holes and on the top. AS
the soil was added, cans were piled up
through the center to provide an irri-
CATION passageway. A hole was bored
In the side near the bottom to allow
water to drain off.

UNCLE SAM SHARES
GRIEFS OF Mothers
Letter to Woman Telling of Death
of Son Is Epitome of Ten
dernesS.

The manner In which Uncle Sam
condoles and extends sympathy to the
parents of the heroes who have met
death on the field of battle in France
is portrayed fittingly in a letter Mrs.
John b. Kelly of New York received
from Maj. Charles C. Pierce, chief of
the graves registration service, Amer
lean expeditionary forces. telling her
of the location of the grave of her
son, Private Edward J. Kelly of e
company, 165th infantry, who was kill
cd in action on March Z.
"Were 1t not for the comfort that
Borrowing people derive from such let
ters," wrote Major Pierce, II would
shrink from writing you at this time,
because I know how heavy your heart
must be and how terrible it is TO get
official letters that confirm the tidings
of death.
ut Is with much sympathy and sor-
row that am writing you, and yet
you will want to know that somebody
is here in France whose business 1t Is
to care for the graves Of our brave
men who have given their lives In the
defense Of the worlds liberty.
"Your son, Edward ]. Kelly, is bur-
led in grave No. /, American cemetery,
Croismare, France. 1t is the province
Of this service to guard his grave and
to see that, so far as the conditions Of
war may permit, it may never be lost.
II had two years Of similar service
In the Philippines, and have come to
France prepared to give my life IL
need be for the guarding Of the graves
Of our dead and carrying out the
sacred desires of the hearts at home.
"May God bless and comfort you in
your great loss"
Major Pierce's letter was supple
mented by a communication from the
war department In Washington which
gave more specific details as to the ex-
act location Of the grave.

Cement From Beet SUGAR.

A result of experiments in French
factories Is the production Of an excel
lent cement as by-product Of beet
sugar refining. The first step In tha
production Of sugar from beets Is boll-
ing them. 1t has heretofore been GUS
tomary to throw away as valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But It
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities Of car.
Donate of lime. 1t Is estimated that
1000 tons of the carbonates can be-
recovered from 10000 tons Of beets,
To this quantity Of the carbonate LOO
tons of clay Is added. the resultant
product being a good cement. The
best scum is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for a.
certain length Of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t Is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as are used in
making Portland cement.-The Argo-

HORSE IS APT LINGUIST
Quick to Respond to Either French or
American Command.

American Command.
The American horse is an apt lin
gust.
Sold overseas to the French from
America during the first three years Of
the war, he had to learn French to I'M
derstand his new masters. Then sold
back to Americans for service with his
own army after the United States en-
tered the war. he had to learn English,
or rather American, all over again.
Hundreds Of these American horses
were bought from the French when
the first forces from the United States
landed. The drivers were constantly
in trouble, and at first couldn't under
stand the reason.
II had team out during a review"
said one driver. "and couldn't make
'em bulge. tyelled. 'git-up' and every
thing else at 'em, and they just sort Of
looked aroun' like they thought I was
foolish. Then rememberedOthat I
heard frog yell ALLEY at his horses.
I yelled alley and away we went"
The horses now are a good deal like
the soldier. They'll respond to either
French or English commands.

WARNS AGAINST WASTING AIR
Southern Pacific Railway Company
Cites Attention of Employees
to Real Expense. -
"Don't waste the air."

"Don't waste the air"
This injunction, indicating the pass
ing of the last free commodity known
to man, has been added to the conSer-
walton program of the Southern Pacific,
says Financial America. The attention
of thousands of workmen in the rail-
road shops at Los Angeles, Sacra-
mentO and Oakland Is being directed
to the fact that compressed air, used
to drive many machines and tools, rep
resents a real expense. In fact, the
"high cost of air. is giving the COM
pany economists some concern.
G. w. Rear, general bridge inspec-
tor for the company, estimates that
a half-inch leak in compressed-air
tank will Offset the work of rs
horse power engine and the cost Of a
horse power varies from less than a,
cent to 80 cents per hour depending
upon the size of the plant, amount Of
attendance, etc. Usually the loss Is
greater than the money cost, due to
decreased output on account Of insult
ticient air supply.
The expression "free as air" has no
relevancy in the Southern Pacific
shops.

SOLDIERS OF DEATH REFUSE TO

As Subjects Of Austrian Emperor Death Is Only
Thing in Store for Those Captured.

death by the enemy or through their
own hands, they have consecrated their
lives to the distant fatherland, from
which they have come to fight in the
greatest cradle Of all liberty and all
ideals-Italy.
Eliminate Weak and Unfit.
Rome. the ancient lighthouse Of civ
ility and Of liberty, has substituted
these new companions In arms for
those of Russia. These warriors for
the freedom of their country have
found in the ranks Of our own combat
ants fraternity and sturdy faith. This
fraternity, more than common ideals
for the redemption Of their respective
countries, is cemented by the knowl-
edge and vision of the real difficulties
and the resolution and flrmness Of pur-
pose of the new combatants. From
their own ranks on a Spontaneous vote
they have eliminated all about whose
military vigOr or enthusiasm there
could be any doubt, so that the re-
cruits represent the flower of the SOL
dery Of the oppressed natiOnalities.
Drawn from the same country, speak
ing the same tongue, in the daily in
timacy of their new military life, they
have subjected each other to voluntary
but inhexible tests. The results are
confided only to their officers.
''Titus does not please me. He would
not make good corporal. We do not
want him." they say. Thus, out of the
ancient military system of Austria
spring elements of criticism which ex-
clude the weak and unfit. The officers
must heed these verdlcts, which, like
all collective judgments. arise from a
full consensus Of the judges.
The examination Of the political
opinion is not less exacting for be-
ing carried out by fellow soldiers. A
Czech recruit who spoke his mother
tongue well was challenged by his com.
patriots. 'He speaks our language
well, but his heart is not CZECH" they
said. 1t, was learned that during pro-
tracted business transactions In VI
emma he had lost the fierceness and in
trepidity Of the Bohemian character
through daily contact with the Aus
TRAN authorities.
Elect Own officers.
This control has been fraught with
excellent results. Those who have sur
vived the tests Of the assembled judges
have furnished the best war material
and proved themselves dependable In
military and moral affairs.
The officers are also elected by the
soldiers, who trust their leaders with
blind faith, and give them the most
rigid obedience and discipline. Such
discipline the new soldiers Of liberty
are taught by their re. 'embrance Of
imperial oppression to hold essential
to the triumph of their cause.
