ing for him McClintock sent a bull

loath to do this" said the official.
They think that the trademark is
the valuable thing about the arti-
Gle. They are also sentimental
about it. AS matter of fact the
trademark is frequently drawback
instead of an advantage. English
words used in trademarks are often
unpronouncable in Spanish and the
consumer has to make known his
wants by signs or nicknames. f
the manufacturer would change his
trademark so that the Latin Ameri-
can could pronounce it he would
circumvent the pirates and popu-
larize his article. And the intrinsicI
value OF the goods would establish
the market for the manufacturers. y

Glass Blowing an Ancient Art.

The art of glass blowing is also very
ancient and had an existence probably
1000 years before Christ. The art of
blowing is plainly depicted upon the
tumuli of Mastaba of lib at Memphis,
and these tombs were built more than
5000 years ago. In the picture upon
them the blower with tube in mouth,
just the same as the present day, is
seen squatted before his furnace, and
from the detail and perfection Of
knowledge Of the art evidenced in the
ancient pictures it is readily seen that
glass blowing was no new thing with
the people of that time and region.
The glass blower of that day made
vases, beads, ornaments and bottles.

GERMANS RENEW DRIVE;
MAKE GAIN ON AISNE
Berlin Reports Capture Of Chemin Des
DANES Ridge-Aliies lnflict
Heavy Losses.

Paris, May 28.-"The battle con-
tinued all day with the greatest VIC
lence on a front of 40 kilometers Go
miles, from the region Of VauXaillon
as far as Brimont," says the war office
communique.
"The FrancO-BritiSh troops fought IN
perfect cooperation and forced the en-
envy to pay dearly for his initial sue
cess. The allied troops rendered a
foOt-by-foot resistance. The enemy
penetrated our first line and reached
Pont-Arcy, in the valley of the Aisne."
London May 2S.-"The enemy sue
ceeded in pressing lis back to our sec
ond line on our left astride the Aisne,"
says the war office statement.
BERRY -au-Bac, to our right, is main

The German attacks in Flanders
were "repulsed with great loss to the
enemy" Field Marshal Haig reports in
his bulletin.
Except for a small gain near Dicke-
bush lake the Germans were driven
back everywhere in cOunter-atacks in
which the British regained the lost
ground, taking prisoners. At the lake
fighting continues.
Berlin, May 2S.-Capture by the Ger
mans Of the Chemin DIES DANES ridge
was announced by the war office.
1--WE are now fighting on the Aisne,
says the Statement. '"The army attack
ing the French and British between
Reims and scissors is led by the Ger
man crown prince
London, May 2S.-"On the Locre-
VoOrmeezle front the French troops
repulsed the enemy With great loss"
This announcement was contained in
Field Marshal Haig's official report.
Two furious onslaughts marked the
reopening Of the 1913 offensive by the
German higher command.
Enemy attacks were made in great
force between scissors and Reims, to
the south, and from LOcre to VOor-
meezle in Flanders.
It is impossible at this time to say
what the German plan is whether it is
a double offensive aimed at both Paris

two attacks are feints preliminary to-
grand onslaught elsewhere.
The French and British statements
announce that the enemy attack in the
south is from PinOn forest, north of
scissors, to Reims, new battle front
of nearly forty miles. This also in
cludes the famous Chemin des Danes,
where at one time last winter Ameri-
can troops were in training.
The SoiSsOns-Reims assault devel-
oped after an early morning lombard
ment of heavy artillery which hardly
has been surpassed in the war. The
enemy used guns Of all calibers, throw
ing both gas and high explosive shells.
Thus far there has been nothing to
indicate that General FOch'S defenseS
in this region have been penetrated to
a degree at all dangerous. That out
post and advance positions would give
way before heavy infantry assaults is
to be expected.

Profiteerinq an Old Crime.

Profteering in necessities, which has
been revealed in all degrees Of base
ness since the United States entered
the war, is one Of the worlds Oldest
crimes, according to the Bible and 9TH
err ancient writings. Bunyan showed
that it was one Of the banes Of his
time, and Pepys told Of the sacking OF
storehouses by the hungry English pop
ulace as the spectators held back sup
plies for higher prices when the peo-
pie starved.

resolved in the meantime to conduct
his own search for Maggie-Rose
Flynn.

he looked up all the Flynns in the di-

: thought most likely to be related in
some manner to Maggie-Rose. Next
! day he tried calling them up from
public telephone booth, in each case
asking casually for Maggie-Rose, and
in each case being misunderstood, ma
igned and disappointed. By mid
afternoon he had ascertained that she
did not belong to any Of the Flynns
listed in the directory Of his native
city. Perhaps she lived with an aunt,
or perhaps-horrible thought, she had
left town, gone back to some faraway
place which she honored by her resi-
dence. There seemed but one thing
to do-go back to his hostess of the
night before and ask for full particu-
lars regarding Miss Maggie-Rose
Flynn, divulging, If need be, his rea-
son for wishing to know.

home that afternoon, but the debutante
daughter was; peaIs Of laughter from
