CAN'T GET AWAY FROM 1T
One Idea In Mind of German War
Lords as In That of Colored
Minister.

"The kaiser and Hindenburg, and
the crown prince and the other Ger
man big-wigs can never mention the
war without saying that it was forced
upon them, that they are fighting in
defense of the fatherland, that their
enemies are to blame for all the
bloodshed, and so forth"
The speaker was Edsell Ford, son
of Henry Ford.
"The way the Germans insist on
this defense talk of theirs, in season
and out of season." he went on, ere
minds me of the colored preacher
who always preached on infant bap-
tism.
"a deputation waited on him one
evening and asked him if he wouldn't
please drop infant baptism for a
time. He said he'd try to meet the
Populations wishes, and the follow
ing Sunday he announced as his
text, Adam, Where Art Thou?'
"'This text, brethren and sistern,'
said the preacher, can be divided
into fo' heads. Fust, every man is
somewhat. Second, most men is
whar they hain't got no business to
be. Third, you'd better watch out
or that's whar you'll be yourself.
Fo'th, infant baptism. And now,
brethren and sistern, l guess we
might as well pass up the first three
heads and come Immediately to the
fo'th-infant baptism

CANALS VALUABLE IN WAR.

The numerous canals which cross
and recross much of the territory
back of the French lines have been
put to good use BY the military au-
thorities, not only for the transporta-
ton Of supplies and floating bat
teries, but as a fairly rapid means
of travel between different points.
By equipping pontoons with de-
tachable engines the French army
has secured a fleet Of fairly fast and
very serviceable motor craft for
ferry service on the canals. Officers,
men and prisoners are transported
from place to place in these COM
Portable boats, and it goes without
saying that this ferry service has
proved of great value as an adjunct
to usual transportation means. The
power plants are usually of about
twelve horsepower rating, and in
clude the engine and accessories,
propeller and rudder, all in one unit,
fastened to the stern of the pontoon.

EVEN RATS AID WITH WAR
AS "Living Barometer" They Have
Been Found Valuable In Air
Pressure Tests.

The common gray rat is helping
to win the war.
Probably few know that many an
airplane soaring high in the sky car
ries a rat as part of the crew; that
rats played and are now playing an
important part in the evolution of
the submarines, because rats are liv-
ing barometers.
The United States government is
using hundreds of rats in wartime
experiments. The government uses
rats and mice chiefly in air-pressure
tests. The rodents are unusually
sensitive to changes in atmospheric
conditions, and at different attitudes
exhibit unfailing symptoms which
indicate certain conditions Of the air
pressure.
In submarine depth tests and in
the experiments to learn the correct
pressure of the artificial air supply
OF submersibles, rats play an impor-
tant part in establishing facts in re-
lation to human life and the eff
cheney of underwater craft,

CUSTOM MAKES HIGH PRICES
Eastern Newspaper Puts Up Good Ar
gument for Abandonment of the
Fish-on-Friday Habit.

We Americans do not eat enough
fish, and the fisheries bureau says it
is largely because of the fsh-on-Fri-
day habit. The average housewife,
having acquired the habit, will not
buy fish on any other day of the
week.
This means that the individual
consumer must buy when everybody
else is buying, thus enhancing the
price. And the dealer must obtain
from one days sales enough to cover
six days expenses. This also makes
prices go up.
The fisherman is up against the
same difficulty. His business is gov
erned largely by wind and tide
conditions over which he has no con-
troll. He must catch fish whenever
he can, and by expensive icing hold
them until the one fish day of the
week. Here again is cause of high
er prices.
Every day ought to be a fish day.
Let us try to drop the fish-on-Friday
habit. 1t is one way to help win the
war.-New York Herald.

A MOTHERS PROMISE
TO HER SON
BY KATHLEEN NORRIS

My Dear One-Im writing this very,
very small and on the thinnest of pa
per, so that tightly folded 1t may slip
into one of the olive drab pockets of
your new uniform without encroachlng
for the tlniest part of an inch upon all
the new things that you must have
there-the passports and identified
tion slips and photograph, the knife
and pen and writing pad, the lists
and numbers and names and clphers,
the address book and the thin manual
you have been studying so hard and
the slim little Bible, for this letter is
part of your equipment, too, or at
least like to think that it Is.
I'm going to tell you in it just one
or two of the things we've been try
ing not to sayln these last days. You've
said to yourself, haven't you, that
there were possibilities that l, thank
God, hadn't seemed to think of.
You've marvelled gratefully, haven't
you, that could say goodby with
dry eyes and talk about what we
should do when the war is over. My
dear there Is nothing-nothing-
can happen to you that haven't fore
seen in every detail since May, since
the very beginning of 1t all. I know
that some of our men are not going to
come back. l know-as l write this
in the room you lOve-that your fin
gers may tumble for this little piece
of paper In some dreadful hour a
month or two months or six months
from now, just to read it over once
more for the last time, just to feel
in your fingers out there in a shell
lighted battlefield something that l
have touched-for goodbye.
And thinking of all this for almost
year while you've been getting
ready to go I've been getting ready to

LAUGH AT PERILS OF AIR
Men of the Flying Squadrons Have
Their Own Way of Describing
the Days Dolngs.

The unquenchable youth and Vi
tality of our airmen, says a writer in
the London Globe, is reflected in the
slang which they invent with regard
to their work. 1t is well known that,
on the lucus a non lucendo principle,
they call a flying machine bus, and
it appears that they call acting as
pilots for cadets who are learning to
fly taxicab driving for young Huns,
although it includes trailing a tar
get on a wire about twenty yards
long for the novices to shoot
at. "They miss the target some
times and get us; had half-a-
dozen ventilations in the tail
of my old bus one day last
week." lightly said young officer.
"1t's all in the days work, but when
you've heard Archie barking the pop
pop-pop of Hun at practice doesn't
put the wind up. The chances are a
million to one against your being
killed even by nervous young Hun.
The real strain is the monotony of
waiting for them to come up. So in
the air, when they are at what a foot
slogging soldier knows as Stand
easy" it is the general habit to read
a novel. eff it is clear sky and not
too bunny the old bus nearly man
ages itself. Risky? Lord, no, that's
why we call it taxi-driving."
