Get out Of the Rut.

Have you ever stopped to consider
how much like a machine you are be
coming7
True, your daily duties are perform
ed In way which seems to suit the
boss. but you Jog on In the same old
way. day In and day out. with move
ments purely mechanical.
How long DO you figure that you can
continue to make good by this course
Ever think Of changing the methods
used by you for the past several
years, and which lifted you out Of the
ranks Of the ordinary at the time you
adopted them. but which are passe at
the present time?
Oh. you are becoming too prosaic.
There is not enough variety in your
life.
Seek outdoor exercise; you need it.
and you should mingle with men of
up-to-date ideas; you should visit 9TH
ef establishments In your line Of work
and see how things are being done
there.
You are In a rut. a.
Get out before It is too late.

Women as Aviators.

"Out of a thousand women who
want to fly" says G. G. Gray. Lon
don aviation expert, "you might find
one who has the right kind OF nerve
for flying. A great many women
learned to fly before the war, but ]
never came across more than one
who could really fly. She was a very
exceptional woman altogether. In the
United States Ruth Law was the first
woman to fly from Chicago to New
York. She came Of an acrobatic fam
fly. Katherine Stinson, another Amer
lean girl, nearly completed the same
feat recently. But for one woman Of
this type you have thousands hysteri-
cally anxious to fly. and they would
only break their necks as well as gov
eminent property and be a general
nuisance"

Facts Concerning Red Gross.


In 1854 an international conference
of IA nations was held In Geneva,
Switzerland, the outcome of which was
the Treaty Of Geneva, known as the
Red Cross treaty. This treaty provid-

Everyday Courage.

The courage of the rush forward. a
moment Of high purpose born of a
sudden impulse, that Is one sort. Then
there is the stick-to-it courage, and
that is OF great value. Still an
other is the simple resolution to do
the obvious right and best thing at the
moment, without demur or timid de-
lay, and that is the most important
of all.
The quiet courage of every Gay,
that does its best hour by hour, and
accepts as part Of the days work
the losses and penalties that the
steadfast doing right must often
bring-this is the highest courage of
all. 1t wins no medals, Ii is never
lauded as heroism, even Its posses
sors seldom think of 1t as bravery
or fortitude. yet 1t is the quality which
keeps the moral world from defeat,
and makes the common life Of the COM
mon people strong and safe.

Old Story pIsnroxed.

Most persons know the story told
of Cleopatra. to Illustrate her luxurious
habits OF living. that she dissolved In
her wine a precious pearl. No one
seems yet to have questioned what
must have been the effect upon the
drink, but scientists scott at the pos
sibility of such solution. The fact is
pearls are not soluble in wine. The
most powerful vinegar affects them
slowly and never entirely dissolves
them, for the organic matter remains
behind in the shape of spongy mass
that is larger than the original pearl.

A strange find was made at North
ailerton, Eng, recently. While work
men were saving through a large elm
tree they came across in the very heart
of the tree five dried-up starting eggs.
The eggs were is inches from the ex-
ternal bark, and from the concentric
ring it is estimated that they must
have been deposited about one hun
dred years ago. 1t is surmised that
when the tree was young pair OF
birds had made their nest in cavity,
and for some reason the eggs were
forsaken, and In course Of time the
wood grew around the hollow.

Few women who are proud Of the
fact that they wear hoisery, under

that old tin cans contribute from 20 to
300 per cent in weight to the glossy
silks worn by them. The price Of silk
has increased enormously and to en-
able them to sell heavy silks at price
that will yield a reasonable profit and
yet be within the means Of the average
purchasers, the manufacturers resort
to the practice Of weighing the silk
with tin tetrachloride, derived from
old tin cans. Five thousand tons of tin
were used for that purpose in 1917.

MILLION LAs0RERS WANTED
Serious Shortage Of unskilled Work
ers for War Industries is Put
Up to the States.

Washington, Aug 26---At least one
million unskilled laborers must be pro-
vided for war industries at once. no
matter what happens to private busi-
ness.
That is the emphatic message sent
out by the United States employment
service to all the states. Every state
has been notified Of the quota of men
1t is called on to supply, some OF
whom will be put to work at home,
and others sent away. as the condi-
tons demand These laborers are not
to be taken from other war industries
or from farms, railroads or mines.
The condition Is decidedly serious.
and II the shortage Is not met prompt
Iy our new army will be faced with
additional instances Of lack Of equip
ment, such as became apparent last
winter In the cantOnments and camps.
The new expansion OF the army draft
is going to cause tremendous In
crease in the need for supplies of all
sorts, and consequent great increase
in the demand for labor to make these
supplies. The present shortage of labor
became apparent when the federal en-
ployment service put stop to the
practice Of stealing" labor from one
plant by another
White the call now sent out Is for
labor classed as unskllled there is an
almost equally grave lack OF skilled
workers In war industries An Instance
of this has arisen In Georgia That
state has been notified that unless Ii
can supply 5000 laborers at once for
the Ss,OO0.000 picric acid plant at
Brunswick. the entire construction
force there viii be laid off and the
