The late Professor Munsterberg OF
Harvard believed that the sensory
mechanism Of women worked quicker
than that Of men. He took the Illus
tration Of two sets Of wires, corre-
spending to the nerves Of the human
body, conducting a current Of cleo
tricity to a certain point. The wires OF
woman's nerves were able to communi-
cate to the fixed point, In this Ease the
brain, the current much more quickly
than tine male equipment, and, further
more, reacted to currents too faint for
mans wires to take up. The addition
Of these subtle stimuli produced In the
receiving center an entirely different
comprehension In woman than in man.

Here is Senator McCumber's
message regarding the War Work
Campaign:
MIR. William II. Crawford,
Washington, D.. G.
My Dear Mr.. Crawford:
l am pleased to learn of the
contemplated drive of the United
War Work Campaign in Novem-
ber to secure funds for the well
fare Of our boys Cover There"
Few people realize to what ex-
tent the country has been devas-
tatcd on the western front, and
that the battle is being fought
over q desert, defaced by flame
and pitted by shell holes. The
thousands of little articles which
could be secured in a great city
TO supply the necessities of the
sick and wounded a not be OBJ
tanned in such a place. They are,
however, needed to allay suffering
and to meet the necessities of
each of our afflicted soldiers.
Most of them are articles neces-
sary outside Of the limited army
equipment.
The army ambulance and field
hospital are at best poor substitu-
ties for comfortable home beds and
ordinary hospital conveniences.
The United War Work Cam
paign directs its efforts to meet
these demands Of mercy and calls
upon all sympathetic souls to
render financial assistance. It's
commendablc drive should meet
with most enthusiastic response.
Very sincerely yours,

Why Filters Fioht En- Masse.

Paul Rockwell says in letter from
France to Chicago Daily News: ''Bom-
bardment fiiers work en- masse and
there is little opportunity for individ-
ual exploits. The esprit de corps in
every group is great. Each member
feels proud of the glorious work accom-
plished by his unit. Every squadron
flying in the Vuillemin group has spe-
cial insignia painted on both sides of
the fuselage. All the work saw must
have been done by real artists. The
members of one squadron patch every
hole made in the machines by Ger
man missiles with bit of white can
vas ornamented with small black
Maltese cross-the insignia borne by
all German airplanes. More than one
machine is thickly plastered with these
scars of honor"

How Boys Caught Fish.

Fishing has been reduced to sci.
ence by two boys living in the neigh
borhood Of the North Kansas avenue
bridge over Soldier creek, says To-
peka (Kan.) dispatch. This is how it
is done, and the method is not pat
ented:
Two little fellows take "gunny
sack" fill it half full of corn, then an
Choir it in a deep hole in the creek.
In few days fermentation sets in and
all the catfish, croppie, crawfish and
mud turtles in the stream begin clam
Oring for admittance to the sack. The
pungent odor or taste of the decaying
corn seems to work charm upon the
inhabitants Of Soldier creek, and they
Immediately hold a convention.
Catching them is easy. Just bait
your hook with some of the grains Of
corn out of the sack, or, still better,
use little sweet anise oil on piece
of stale liver, the boys say. Then en-
joy some of the liveliest fishing imag-

Why Happiness Is Elusive.

We must remember one thing. 1t is
not absolutely necessary to be happy.
1t is all very well to talk about happi-
ness, but one of the strange contradic-
tons of life is that we can never find
happiness if we search for it. Happi-
ness is elusive. 1t will escape us, five
seek to hold it. But If we go our way,
if we refuse to lose our faith, no mat
ter how weary or how disheartened,
we will learn to find happiness in little
things, in the reading of a book, in
the singing of song, in the making of
dress, in the doing of our work.
1t is the last thing indeed that is
the real cure for the establishment Of
life that comes to each of ius. Work is
the great panacea. If we work, and
work well, we shall find much to COM
pensate us. And If along the way we
choose to pretend that dreams do some
times come true, who can blame us?

HORRORS OF nJIGGER FLEA"
ed Than Hun Hordes by the
Soldiers in Africa.

In the capture Of the kaiser posses
sions in East Africa General Smiths
army faced pests worse than those pro-
vided by the Germans. This special
pest is a smalAinsect known as the
digger flea
They are black and crablike, says a
writer in Wide World being lit
tie more than the size Of an ordinary
pins point. They "dig in" and take
up their abode between the dermis and
epidermis and Immediately commence
to breed. All one notices is jumpy
sort Of feeling in the affected part, and
later slight Inflammation is seen.
This is the time to operate. We learned
the correct method Of operation from
the natives and were invariably sue
cessful in removing the flea and it's
eggs without mishap. To effect this
neatly one must split the skin in a
cross with the inaamed spot as center,
then lift the flaps like the back Of an
ungummed envelope, when the microbe
| with its thousands of eggs is open to
view. 1t is then quite easy to remove
both, but care must be taken that the
bag in which the eggs are contained
is not broken, for should there be any
left they would speedily fructify and
travel through the system. One fellow
had over 100 extracted from his feet,
while others had to have feet, toes and
fingers amputated because of them.

How Error Won Battle.

During the Afghan war of 1870 a
small British detachment gained a
victory over large body of the enc

named Vance, who had distinguished
himself by several acts of bravery,
wasla great fayorite with one of the
officers, and during skirmish the Off
Ger wanted him to carry dispatch to
the colonel in command of another de-
tachment The man was only a few
yards away, and he called out,
"Vance!" at the top of his voice. The
men thought he had given the order
"Advance!" and Immediately rushed
forward with such dash and spirit that
the enemy broke and fled.

How to Keep Cool.

You can enjoy the summer despite
the heat. The state department Of
health is authority for the following
suggestions to that end:
Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and
milk, but very little meat, eggs and
other heavy foods. Drink much water,
but not quantities of ice water or other
iced beverages.
Battle daily or twice day-a cool
sponge or shower bath in the morning
and tub bath at night.
Sleep eight hours day, outdoors if
possible and at least in moving air.
Exercise every day, preferably in the
early morning or late afternoon. In
dulge in recreations that vary the daily
grind.
Avoid direct exposure to the sun.
Dress lightly. Avoid alcoholics. Don't
overeat or oyerexert your strength.
Don't worry about the heat.

HOW ENGLAND HELP
A1O w ED KRIIPp TO

~ ED KRUPP TO
START INTERNAL WORKS.
There is no doubt that this
country started Germany on her
industrial way, showing her the
ropes, gave her the wrinkles,
and generally treated her as a
good apprentice; but it is not
generally known that Krupp
himself, the man who has en-
abled the kaiser to hold out so
long, and who led him to be-
lieve that he could smash his
way to world dominion, got his
first capital here.
Alfred Krupp came to Bir-
mingham in 1910 with an intro
duction to a great English firm
of electro-platers from Doctor
Siemens, and offered them an
invention Of his own for rolling
the metal "blanks" from which
forks and spoons are made. For
once a German invention-for
1t must be said that the Ger
mans have been good at utiliz-
ing but bad at initiating turned
out to be of use, and Krupp got
100000 from the firm for his ma
chine.
With this money he returned
to Germany, went to Essen, and
there laid the foundation Of the
gigantic business which has
since become a menace to the
whole world.-London Answers.

WRITE LETTERS THAT CHEER

y News That Is Agreeable.

Do you give as good as you get?
Does your soldier boy fill his letters
with accounts Of the disagreeable
things he is meeting, or does he cheer
fully ignore them and try to make you
believe that heis having the best time
ever? He knows that you can do moth
ing to change conditions as he finds
them, so, in his fine philosophy, why
pass the worrying on to you? Turn
the picture around and look at the
boys side Of 1t. You will never know
the half Of the things he endures; he
won't tell you now, and when he comes
back he will wave them aside as of no
Importance. AS you can't help him, he
can't help you. A grumbling letter, or
one full of encouragement, will only,
make soldier little less efficient in
his job; you will still have the home
problems to tackle. The need is not so
much for more letters, but for more
cheerful letters, is the word that comes
from the camps. "The mud soaked old

ing vermin, rain and shell fire, con-
