THE RETURN OF PEACE
The mother OF the coming years
viii sing the sweet, old lullAbieS
And calm with love the babies fears
And close with peace the tired eyes.
And in the summer days to be,
The barefoot boys will romp and
There will be smiles for all 10 see
As soon as wars mad rage is done.
The fires within the CRATES will burn
As brightly as they did OF old
And much the children then will learn
From all the stories that arc told.
Then laughter will be heard once more,
And little ones in evenings Eloam
Will watch beside the cottage door
To see their fathers coming home.
Love will come back TO life again
And hate and strife will pass away;
Only the >wintcr'S snow and rain
Shall keep the children from their
play
Then men will ncghbor as Of old
And talk OF friendly things and fair.
When once the fires OF war grow cold,
There shall be JOY for all to share
Fear not The victory has come,
And all the numbering csnnons cease.
The bugle and the rolling drum
Now sound the stirring notaS OF peace.
And Room shall pass the flood OF tears.
Beneath our starry flag above,
The mothers OF the coming years
Shall smile and sing their songs Of
love .

Trebles Hardness Of Leather.

Norwegian engineer claims that
he has discovered process by which
leather can be made two or three times
as hard as 1t Is normally, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. This is of
very special interest in these days of
high prices for footwear and other
leather goods. While the leather can
be mad. as hard as wood, 1t does not
lose It's elasticity, 1t Is said, and also
acquires greater resistance to both
heat and moisture

Roman Soldiers "Smokes."

Records recently discovered show
that the Roman soldiers In Caesars
time had their pipes. or course they
knew nothing about real tobacco, as
that had not at that period been dis
covered. However, they did have pipes
and they smoked lavender and hemp
and from all accounts they liked 1t
and 1T served almost the same purpose
In fact, 1t Is said to have been great
solace and stimulus to the soldiers.

the-War Industries Board has decided.
Extensions OF plants and new enter

places until provision for greater
power Is provided.
Scores OF other cities are loaded up
for months TO come. Officials are
turning contracts into -fiddle. West
