In spite of the pouring rain last
night the Navy Relief Associations s
annual Thanksgiving benefit at Wash
tngton Barracks presented a brilliant
spectacle. The great hall was gay
with the flags of all nations, which
hung from the ceiling and were draped
over the rail of the balcony. At one
end Of the room the Marine Band in
its brilliant uniforms made a splash
of color. at the other the receiving
line, headed by Mrs. Daniels, who
was assisted by Mrs. Alexander
Sharpe, Mrs. Long and Mrs. Coontz.

One Of these is the marriage tie. The
mere fact that a man has picked out
a woman from all the balance of the
world for his wife. that she bears
his name. that she is his, sets her
apart from all other women and
crowns her with a certain glory in
his eyes and appeals to him SIS no
ocher woman can.
Then time fights on the side of the
wife. The man with rowing fancy
keeps rowing. He is no more true
to a lady love than he is to his wife.
In time he wearies of every new
face, and then he comes back, at
last, to the one faithful soul who has
had the courage to endure.
Whether the wandering husband Is
worth waiting for is for the indi-
vidual woman to decide. But he will
surely come home In the end.

NAME NEWFLYNG FIEL D FOR
AMERICAN MARTYR OF MIDAIR

What would you do II you were
balloon observer. high over the
battle line. with a comanion, your
balloon set afre by German air
plane and certain death staring one
Of you in the face?
Would you give your companion the
opportunity to escape alive andL~sacri-
fee your own life for his?
That is probably the greatest test of
courage and heroism human being
ever faced. Through this ordeal of
FIRE went Lieut.. C. ]. Ross. of Titus
Vile. Pa, and that he went through
1t unflinchingly has just been con-
tirmed by official communications tell
ing Of his exploit, received by the
division of military aeronautics.
Lieut.. Ross was the FIRST member OF
the American balloon corps killed
since the corps has been at the front.
In honor Of his heroic sacrifice of his
life new balloon field now being es-
tablished in the South will be named
after him. Here is the story of his
death:
Lieut.. Ross was directing, from his
balloon, the American artillery fire,
which was showering the German
lines with shells. Suddenly a German
alrplane squadron appeared out of
cloud bank, evidently bent on stop
ping the devasting artillery fire which
hinged on the work of the observer.
One of the German planes dived
Tor the balloon carrying Lieut.. Ross
and his companion and set 1t afire.
There was not a moment to be lost
II the crew were to escape. Lieut..
Ross realized that only. one of them
could escape alive. Magnanimously,
he ordered his companion to jump.
The officers parachute gave him
some difficulty and delayed him in
leaping from the basket, but Lieut.
Ross, facing death, calmly remained
to see him safely clear.
Then he launched his parachute and
jumped himself from the burning bal
loon. we'll knowing that his chance
for life was one in a thousand. Be-
fore he had fallen a score Of feet the
blazing balloon collapsed and fell upon
his parachute. igniting it. Lieut. Ross
fell and was instantly killed.

Fred Osborne laughed as he lit a
cigar. "But my dear Stewart. don't
want to marry simple little Della. She
is nice girl, but hardly my choice"
'Give that girl the advantages Of
those city dolls, and she would out
shine them ALL" answered Stewart.
eff I were younger I'd not be encour-
aging you"
A young girl passing through the
corridor stifled the cry which rose to
her lips as she heard the remarks
of the two men.
She hurriedly entered her room, and,
throwing herself on the bed, broke
into sObs.
Miss Boynton Cher hostess} had in
vited her, and other guests, to spend
the week end at her beautiful country

AS she lay there, a plan suddenly
formed in her mind; and hastily ris-

the hall and knocked at the door.
"Come in," called a melodious voice.

you" Then as she noticed the girls

trouble?"
AS Della confded her plan, the girl
smiled and nodded from time to time.
"Just you waltz" cried Beatrice
Lang. "We'll made them take notice."
and she gave Della big hug. Then
they settled down to discuss the great
secret.
The girls were very busy the next
few days, planning for the masquerade
ball, which the hostess was giving to
close her entertainment.
At seven o'clock that evening Della
entered Beatrice's room, and seated
herself in a chair (placed for herr in
front of the dressing table.
Beatrice first pulled the lace cap
from her friends head, revealing a
mass Of beautiful golden curls. This
she piled up on the girls head; then
catching up a lovely pink gown, she
passed it to her and told her to hurry
into it.
Della took from a box a pair of
pink satin slippers, and silk stockings,
and putting them on, stood up for her
friends inspection

turned the girl to the mirror.

flush spread over her face.

She then picked up a mask and p1ac-
ing it over the girls face, gave her
a push saying: "Now, run along"
Meanwhile Della had reached the
ballroom and was Immediately claimed
for the first dance, which was then
about to commence.
AS she whirled about, her eyes fell
on a familiar figure.
"WhO is that stunning-looking girl

"Don't know" was the answer. "She
is beauty. But one can't recognize

Somewhat Remarkable Form of Linn.

cat a certain stage of social evolu-
tion," says Sir James Frazer in his
article entitled '"The Killing of the
Khazar Kings" mot a few races ap-
pear to have been in the habit of put
ting their kings to death, either at
the end of a fixed term, or on the
failure of the kings health and
strength, or simply whenever a great
public calamity, such as drought or
famine had befallen the country"
Among tribes which have practiced
this remarkable form of limited mon
archy must be included the Khazars
or Khozars. For some nine hundred
years this now almost forgotten tribe,
from their home in the spurs of the
Caucasus and along the western shore
OF the CaSpian-called after them the
Sea Of the Khazars-played a great
part in history on the EurOpean-Asian
borderland. 1t is certainly remark
able that people which had reached
such a high level of civilization and
culture should have practiced legalized
regicide. But the evidence collected
by Sir James Frazer from a very wide
survey of medieval literature leaves
no doubt on the matter.

most Incredible, yet it is told by a
philosopher, the contemporary and
friend Of Isaac Newton, and an &C

states, fell upon Lancashire, in a
right line from Ormskirk to Blackburn.
'The breadth of the cloud was

'fNo," she answered "I must be

Della was in her second dance, when
young man entered the room. He
was rather effeminate, perhaps, but de-
cidedly good-looking. Wandering about
he at length came up to Fred
Osborne.
"By Jove! What beautiful girl !"
he calculated. "Can you tell me who
she is?'
II couldn't" said Fred.
In some way the stranger SO maneu-
vered that Fred obtained only the last
two dances.
BY this time his anger had reached
the boiling point; but to all questions
regarding the young man, Della an

was one great joke on me-"
Someone then spoke to Beatrice, and
Fred drew Della out to the beautiful
gardens.
There, in the lovely moonlight, he
asked her to be his wife.
''But," the girl followed his question
by another, "do you forget a certain
conversation you held short while
ago?"
Fred thought for a moment, then
said: 'You can't mean the day Stew
art and I were talking?"
'"That is just what I mean," said
Della.

ESSENTIAL IN GRADING EGGS
Gambling Is Only Method by Which
Producers Can Be Certain Of
Quality of Product.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Grading is becoming more and
more customary in the sale and pur-
chase Of eggs, and a knowledge Of
Gambling is essential to egg grading.
It is only by Gambling that producers
and shippers of eggs can be certain
that they are complying with federal,
state and other regulations, because
by this method one can determine the
freshness and quality Of eggs. The
process, in simple terms, is to hold an
egg before shaded light in a dark
room, and by noting certain character
istics seen through the semitranspar-
ent shell to determine it's edible and
marketable qualities.
Farmers with only few eggs to
market may improvise a GAMBLER by
placing a stOvepipe over kerosene
lamp, cutting small hole in the pipe,
level with the light. The eggs is held
in slanting position at the opening.

and left and then from end to end, 50

Care should be taken that the fingers
or hand do not conceal small blem-
ishes, which otherwise would be dis
closed by the light. The beginner
should study carefully the general for
nation of an egg, as this detailed
knowledge is necessary for the appli-
cation Of the standards Of various
grades and qualities.
The yolk ranges in color from light
yellow to orange, and is occasionally
olive green. The eggs with olive green
yolks are less desirable because of this
Color, but are considered edible. The
yolk is contained in delicate mem
brane and on its surface is small
light-colored circular area called the
germinal disk, from which the chick
develops. The yolk always floats in
the white with the chick spot on top.
Around the yolk lies a small quantity

TOWN THRIVES ON TOURISTS
ticaIIy Supported by Enthusiastic
Visitors Who Buy Souvenirs.

Oban Is a Scottish town that exists
almost entirely for the benefit of the
tourist. Every other house in Oban
is a boarding house or a hotel, and
buildings that have escaped this fate
are used as shops where the traveller is
enticed into buying a beautiful plaid
tartan for which he has no use, or
Scotch pebbles which are guaranteed
to be highly ornamental in the parlOr
cabinet.
If you have a Scotch ancestor Oban
is the place to resurrect him. All the
plaids Of Scotland and q few besides
are in the Oban shops. If your ances-
tors cannot be located In the Scotch
who's Who" of the past, any obliging
shopkeeper will unblinkingly produce
q plaid which fits the name Of your
kinSman and which matches your H.
brary carpet.
If you stroll through the quiet streets
to the top of hill you can see Oban
at it's best. The water Of the bay Is so
shiningly blue that you at once re-
solve to take trip to one Of the tiny
islands dotting the smooth expanse.
The roads that climb the Scotch hills
Sc easily are edged with clOse-trimmed
hedges, and the cottages are cloaked in
glossy and picturesque ivy.
Off to one side Is a great circular
edif1ce not unlike Roman circus. This,
your hostess informs you on your re-
turn, is "McCaig's Folly" If you are
still curious you will be told the story
Of old eccentric McCaig, who had this
useless, antique-looking structure built
at great expense to himself and to the
vast amusement of his fellow citizens.
Winter is the quiet time in Oban.
Then there are no enthusiastic
strangers to buy expensive souvenirs
or to hire boats for trips around the
bay. The town is gloomy and desert
ed. The women are indoors weaving
plafds for the coming summer, and the
men are out on the bay hard at work
with the fishing fleet.-Chicago Daily
