had arrived in Nayville four hours
earlier. AS he was turning a tree

voice, that of Pierson, and it spoke
questioningly:
What's the trouble, Sonnie ?'
Bassett peered past a tree. Seated
on the edge of the sidewalk was
Iierson. An urchin of six was dig

weeping cop!ously.

Piersun, and the boy poured forth

Pierson paved them over with
grin, powerfully reminded OF his
long past youthful days.

he logged his memory to classify
the marbles by names that came

The crown prince is reported to have said: "If
Germany wanted war, should not have chosen this
moment" No moment could have been more I'M

TO the facts such a statement really is. Germany
began preparing for war Immediately after the

There must have been a very sudden change of
tone in the spirit Of the German press to lead Count
Reventow of Berlin to remark: @The fifth year

is certainly minor chord, but what could be ex-

You have not fought in vain. o dead
Who sleep amid the peoples red;
Your plea, attested with your blood
By all the world is understood,
And we, your brothers, come from
far
To win our nations service star.
How could we fail you, in your
fight
For liberty, for truth and right!
You quailed not when the tempest

About your homes; your bold gums

speak,
Who stand as guardians Of the

And we are here; with mighty
tread,
Our sons aVenge your noble dead.
Brave France! We cross the trou-

Not only at your battle plea;
Though stirred to strife by wars

We come not only men in arms;
We come to seal our broken past

Till earth may hide her warlike

May pledge to all her sacred fires.

There was never a drum to throb.

To enlist fov the Great Big Job.

Where across the line the bullets

And the hero waits his chance,
They rear the mighty vessels,
That soon across the foam,
Shall bring troops and guns tin the
beaten Huns
Are hurrying. headlong, home.
Crime and sweat is their portion
For many a weary day;
But the great shows grow with
each sturdy blow,
As they steadily toll away.
For battles are won by labor
AS well as by cleaning blades.
And the riveters' roar may avail us
more
Than the spfutter. OF cannonades
They toll in the smoky shadows

But each willing heart plays a

In great and splendid game.

Questions and Answers.


Window Shades and Eyestrain-
Please tell me whether window
shades green on the outside and
plain cream ON the inside would be
as great a strain ON the eyes as
plain green shades. We found plain
cream shades Il strain on the eyes
IL an office where close eye work
was done Would 1t be sufficient
to have the one side of the shades
green? J. l.. M.
Answer-GTeen is a restful color
to look at, but that Is merely be
cause it absorbs more Light than
lighter colors do. There is no pro-
tective virtue in green besides this.
II It is a case of excluding the
glare Of direct sunlight, green or
opaque shades would be better
green on one side or both. This Is
especially true If the worker has
to face the windows. IT the work
er can be placed in such position
rs to have the light from window
fail over one shoulder on the work
Ii would be better to use no window
shades at oil, except when direct
sunlight enters, and then a light
coIored rather than a dark or
opaque shade. It is an error in eff
ficiency to sit facing a window for
any Kind of work demanding use
Of tho eyes.
No TTiffng Interruptions Please
tell me how long one should wait
before reSming breathing exer-
cises and setting up exercises after
the periods, L. d.
Answer-The exercises should
not be interrupted for any such
reason. You have the wrong idea
your almanac must be an ancient
one.

ularly which are safe and which

THE LUCIA MAKES
HER FIRST VOYAGE
This First Nonsinkable Ship OH Which
Great Hopes Are Built Is Yet
- to Meet U-BOat, But Her In
ventOr Seeks That Most
IL Drastic Test

Washington, The Lucia, first nom
Isinkable steamship, has slipped thru
the submarine zone and is now at an
Enropean port.
The Lucia left Hampeon Roads, Va,
3"about three weeks ago." according
Ito Edward f. Carey, director Of opera
]tions of the United States shipping
hoard.
She carried crush" cargo Of sup
]plies for the western front, and be-
acause of that fact the originally pro-
3posed test of sending her without con-
ivoy was proposed anG she went in
company wifi other vessels under
naval protection.
1t is expected the Lucia will start
ION her return voyage within a week
or so and will be due here early in
May.
Whether she will be made an avow-
led challenge to the U-boats on her
3return voyage has not yet been de
atermined, though the confidence of
Jher inventor seeks that most drastic
atest, with the approval Of shipping
board officials.
Only the lack of ships, the urgent
need Of supplies and the fact that the
3Lucia was loaded and ready to clear
Aport with the very supplies needed
paused an abandonment of the intcn-
sfion to send her to sea openly and
without protection other than the

is twenty-five cents. 1t has been care
fully figured that the potatoes costing
about three cents, adding one hundred
per cent for other charges, another
one hundred percent for profit, and
then even an additional twenty-five
per cent, fifteen cents would be a
very reasonable price. Mashed pota-
toes could be easily served for the
same price and thereby save bread.
In other ways, too, Irish potatoes
can be substituted for wheat bread.
Potato bread is very palatable and is
delicious. All Home Demonstration
agents have recipes for making potato
flour and potato bread, and the hungry
millions in the European countries
would count themselves extremely for
tunate could they provide themselves
with so delightful substitute for the
wheat bread they are so sadly lacking.
However,, it is not possible to ship po-
tatoes, and therefore the slogan:
potatoes for America, Bread for
Europe"
In addition to hotels, restaurants
and dining cars using potato substi-
tutes fer Tread, the householders are
urged to cut the wheat allowance
wherever possible and use Irish pota-
tlcs instead Of wheat or mixed breads.
