WAR SUMMARY

Heavy fighting operations on the
western front still are in the stage
of anticipation. Continuation of the
present calm much longer is hardly
possible, with both sides prepared
for a renewal of extensive opera
tions. The Germans are known to
have completed their preparations,
and the allies are confident in their
ability to meet the shock of enemy
attacks wherever and whenever they
may come.
What really is going on behind
the Germans lines is uncertain, but
it is known the enemy has large
numbers OF men along the front
from Ypres to Rheims. His artil-
lery is in position and weather con-
ditions have been favorable, but TIE
German leaders are not ready yet
to test their fate; or at least they
have given no indication of doing
so. The German morale is reported
to be much weaker than during the
attack of March p.
Meanwhile the allies mastery OF
the air is productive of much dam
age to German billetS, airdromes, ar
tillery concentration and other mill
tary targets.
Airmen Drop Tons of Bombs.
For more than a week now, Brit
ish and French airmen have been
dropping ton after ton OF bombs in
the area Immediately back of the
German lines. In aerial fighting, the
German fiiers have been bested, and

MISUNDERSTANDING
How Patriotic Protest OF Gentle-Heart-
ed Man Furnished inspiration to
Joel Chandler Harris.


Tn one of his stories of farm life In
Georgia Joel Chandler Harris tells of a
wealthy planter who wanted a few
acres of original woodland cleared near
village In which he lived. Labor was
scarce. but he finally induced thrift
less fellow in the village to do the
work-a man who had always been
honest, but kind of dreamer and
"ne'er do Well"
After few days the man came to
his employer and frankly confessed
that he could not do the work, al
though he needed the money. Pressed
for reason he said that the first tree
he started to cut down was hollow and
occupied by two squirrels, who made
violent complaint at the destruction of
their house. The next was the home OF
a chlpmunk. with large family, and
the third was occupied by ut least four
pairs Of jaybirds. "That piece of
woodland Is a peopled city, throbbIng
with life. busy from morning until
night, II contains their homes and
families, they have built and lived
there for years and l have not the
heart to destroy what belongs to these
helpless creatures" And out of that
incident simple but impressive as 1t
was, Mr.. Harris drew inspiration for
one of the most graphic pictures in
all literature.-H. II. Hartman, In the
South Atlantic Quarterly.

Undersea Pipe Line for Oil.

Tank steamers are loaded with oil
on the Mexican coast by means Of un-

long. The record is broken by two
lines each two and one-half miles long

south of Tampico. This method of load

Music ls a Moral Law.

There is an intense need for art. and
above all for music IN the daily lives
of our people, and 1t Is through the
public schools that the musical re-
sources of the younger generation, at
present lying dormant, must be
awakened.
Why should our girls and boys being
educated to be good business men and
women be denied development Of all
higher intellectual and moral side Of
their natures? 1t is here that music
most directly exerts It's influence. To
quote the words of Plato: "Muslc Is
moral law. II Is the essence OF order
and leads TO all that is good, Just aud
beautiful"
There is always the possibility. too
that embryo PATHS and Carusos are

our country as othtors. poets, wEters

TO TREAT IT AND no AVOID IT

has left you, or if you are over so or
not strong, stay in bed four days or
more, according to the severity of the
attack.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems TO prove that this

avoid persoDs- having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common

Keep up your bodily strength by
plenty of exercise in the open air, and
good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs. Use Vick's
Vapo-Rub at the very first sign OF a
cold. For a head cold. melt a little
VapoRub in a spoon and inhale the
vapors, or better still, use VapoRub
