EnuIish Women In War.

When the war began, England had
only little army. Many Englishmen
had never seen soldier A new army
of 100000, drawn from civilian ranks,
had to be raised, trained, armed,
clothed, fed and equipped with all the
supplies demanded by war which has
turned every scientific invention to the
work of destruction. This necessitated
that the women fill the necessary
places men had formerly occupied and
also engage in the new Industries war
requirements caused to spring into ex-
istence.
Lord Northcliffe says that the
women have done this work, In the
main, exactly as well as the men. They
have entirely displaced the men in the
operation of elevators, as clerks In
stores, banks, and insurance offices and
as drummers. In their enthusiasm the
women attempted tasks beyond their
physical strength, but this was gradu-
ally corrected. The fact that England
has been able to maintain its credit
and keep it's. exports at practically the
prewar figures Lord Northcliffe I'M
hesitatingly ascribes to the work OF
the women.

PAINTING Cannon Balls.

The Christian Men Builders, Inc, or
the Third Christian church, has re-
ceived letter from one of its members
on board one of the big battleships OF
the navy, says the Indianapolis News.
He said: "The fellows on board are
trying to get one of the men to volun-
teer to sit on the end Of one Of the
big guns and paint the shells as they
are shot out, so we can tell which one
hits the kaiser. If you want to know
what the best pie container is, rest
YOUR minds, as am the best contalner
ever. and will take care of all you can
send"

Too Hasty.

Capt. Emilio Resnati, the Italian pi-
lot of the wonderful twenty-five pas
senger Caproni airplane, said at q
luncheon in Norfolk:
'Don't mistrust Italy. To mistrust
Italys loyalty In this crisis is to be
like the jealous husband.
"A jealous husband slipped into the
house in his usual quiet way one eve
ming and heard his wife at the tele-
phone. To whom could she be tele-
phoning? He tiptoed into the room,
and his blood froze in his veins with
horror as he heard her say:
"T love you so! You're my own
baby boy. Meet me at midnight in the
same old place. Kiss me, sweet
heart
1.-THE man rushed up and seized her
by the throat.
"'Who are you telephoning to-? he
roared in a paroxysm of rage and
grief.
"She answered with an Icy smile:

songs he advertises In this mornings

The Perfect Gentleman.

"Even our ideas of honor change"
notes a friend who Is always arguing
that virtue is a mere matter Of geog-
raphy or era. ''It is but century
since a Man of Honor-it was an en-
tirely different sort of person from the
one to whom that term could be ap-
piled today. A Man Of Honor-a Real
Gentleman-was one who made it a
point to pay all his gambling debts
and wine bills, even if he had to marry
to get the money" But our friend is
wrong about honor. The one he men,
tons was not man Of honor-he was
merely called so. The Indians were
not natives of India just because
Columbus thought they were, though
the misnomer stuck to them for all
generations.-Clev Plain Dealer.

THEY HAVE A DARK SECRET
Husband and Rrother-in-Law Feast
and Smash Piece of China, Which
Is MysteriousIy Replaced.

Since the coming of the X-ray and
the perfecting of the BertilIon system
dark secrets have lost vogue. Yet oc-
casiOnally one of them does escape the
keenest vigilance and flourishes with
all the old-time mystery, according to
the Kansas City Star.
Mrs. Miller has q set of chinaware,
the real creamy ware that the light
shines through. 1t is very old. Mrs.
Miller inherited it. She also inherited
the proud right to boast that not one
piece had ever been broken.
Mrs. Miller went away. Mr.. Miller
entertained his brOther-in-law while
she was gone. There were other rel
atives that he might have entertained.
but in an unguarded moment he chose
his brOther-in-law.
One night they made q feast. They
baked a great number of things all in
one pan. SO when it came out of the
oven 1t seemed to demand that 1t
should all be served on one plate. Mr..
Miller looked over the supply of dishes
that had been left out for his use and
there was really nothing that would
contain 1t. A wild spirit of revelry
seized Mr.. Miller.
"We will do the thing up right" he
shouted.
He went boldly into the china closet
and brought out the very largest plat
ter.
When the meal was ended, Mr.. Mil
ler's brother-in-law suggested dish
washing. Mr.. Miller did not favor the
plan, but finally yielded to it against
his better judgment. What happened
was quite natural.
The platter slipped and fell and
broke.
After all the years, after all the fam
lily pride and care!
From that night on those two men
took up and carried about with them
a dark secret, for this is what they did
each carrying piece of that plat
ter, they went from one china store to
another until they found it's duplicate.
They carried it home and brought in
| a woman to wash it and replace 1T on
| the shelf of the china closet.
Now when Mrs. Miller entertains her
| friends and one of them says: "How
/ envy you these beautiful dishes, and
| it is so remarkable that not one has
ever been broken" Mr.. Miller and his
brother-in-law sit with far away look
In their eyes and a dark secret in their
souls.

The Meaning of "Unique."

Charleston, s. c., is very definitely
two things: 1t is old, and it is city.
There is the story Of young lady who
asked stranger if he did not consider
it a unique town, writes Julian Street
in Golfers Weekly. He agreed that 1t
was, and inquired whether she knew
the derivation of the word unique"
When she replied negatively he in
formed her that the word came from
unus, meaning "one," and equus, mean
ing "a horse;" otherwise "a one-horse
town." This tale, however, is a libel,
for despite the general superstition of
chambers of commerce to the contrary
the estate Of cityhood is not necessar-
lily matter of population nor yet Of
commerce.

William E. French Of Mayfeld, Kan,
who owns a 400-acre wheat field, did
not ask exemption when the call came
to go to war, but only asked for time to
finish planting his fall wheat. After
he had finished he reported and was
sent to camp.
Stephen Leacock, the Canadian hu-
morist, who is also head of the depart
ment of economics and political science
at McGill university, declares that he
would sooner have written "Alice in
Wonderland" than the Encyclopedia
Britannica.

Ever-Faithful Horse.

It is the horse that has fought the
wars of the world and won our human
liberty. Besides this, he has broken
our pralries, sown and harvested our
grain. and delivered 1t to the markets
Of the world. He has carried messages
of victory and of sorrow, and down to
the time of Washington he constituted

It is no secret that at one time this
year very high hopes were held in
England and France for the offensives
on the western fronts. Important as
the successes gained in those attacks
have been, cruel as are the losses in
flicted upon the enemy, it is now evil
dent to the world that the wider
strategic vision which looked forward
to great if not decisive results in the
field have proved too optimistic, or at
the least premature.
The complete collapse of the Rus
sian armies fortunately took place at
a date loo late to permit the Germans
to reap the full benefit of their cheap
ly bought successes by transferring
troops to the west. The full effect of
the heart-breaking situation In the
east will not be felt until spring in the
west, when, however, military men are
agreed. the increased strength Ger
