Praise "Stars and Stripes"

Newspaper men, magazine men, lit erati and, in fact, everyone in Amer ica interested in catching the spirit of the Tank invasion of Europe, should by all means read copies of that great voice of the American expedition ary forces, the Stars and Stripes. Letters from pals and relatives paint little intimate tableaux of the eXtraor- dinary life of the Yankees In France, but & few copies of the Stars and Stripes can rear an atmosphere which hundreds of excellent letters could not begin to comprise. The editors, by their work, show that they are regular fellows. They have the viewpoint of the buck private, as well as that of the gray-haired executive with the silver stars on the shoulders.-The Quill.

Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, who is home nT furlough after four years of service in France, where she has been for the last IS months directress of canteens for the Red Cross, was just about to enter New York shop the other day when she felt some one touching her arm.

Mrs. Vanderbilt" one exclaimed, while both extended rough, work-hardened hands. Its sure good to see you again. We don't forget old friends like you"

Buenos Aires, Friday, March 7.--- After d week of negotiations between the government, shipping agents and striking port workers, the agents no tified the government today that the strikers could return to work if they would agree to declare off existing boycotts and not to interfere with the employment Of anyone hired by the agents.
 The strikers answered that they were willing to return to work under the conditions prevailing before ths lockout These conditions did not embrace the two points mentioned today, which are virtually a repeti- tion of previous offers which the men have refused to meet.

Kaiser's Sublime Vanity,

Of the innumerable stories told of the eX-kaiser's vanity none surpasses one concerning a little incident that took place on board a British warship few years ago. The recently de posed emperor was being entertained at dinner during a visit to the British fleet, and when smoking began took up a cigar and looked around for a cutter. One not being handy, an off, cer immediately offered him a pen knife, which William used and re- turned with the solemn remark, Keep it and guard 1t well; one day it will be historic"

A novel but simple method or meas uring earth temperature has been sue cessfully tried at depth of 5,302 feet, that of the bottom of the bore-hole of St. Jean d'Herans, the deepest Tn France. Two exactly similar centi- grade thermometers were cut off at 40 degrees, and compared with a third thermometer to show that the indica- tions were not affected. The shortened instruments were fixed in opposite po sitions-one inverted and the other erect-in a simple sheath. Lowered into the hole, they were then kept one hour at the bottom to acquire the rock temperature, and as this was above 40 degrees, some of the mercury was forced from the tubes. On being with drawn, the tubes wefe gradually heat ed in a water-bath until the mercury just filled them. which the standard thermometer showed was at 62.5 de- grees in each. The surface tempera- ture being 12.5 degrees. the earth in- crease was one degree for each 106 feet sf depth

 the show places the estimated sales
 at both the passenger car show at the
 Arlnory and the motor truck show at
 the Casino as something like $ZZO,Ooo
 including an exceptionally heavy bus mess in accessories. Motorists, due to the open winter, have kept their cars in service all season, with a resultant acceleration of trade for the dealers. An idea of the business done by this branch of the show alone may De gained from the announcement that on the first night the accessory men sold over $10,000 worth of supplies.

Saturday, January IT.
Dear Helen-Forgive me for not
seeing you before L left, but this
seemed to be the better way. Every
thing is over between Bob and me.
This is FINAL.
Just now do not feel very much
Of anything. The emotions of the past
week have left me almost without
feeling. am glad to rest, glad to be
away from it all.
"All morning have been gazing out
at the fields. the farm houses, the
grazing cattle. The quiet peaceful
ness of it all makes that final scene
with Bob seem So long ago-yeL II
was only night before last.
Helen, I did not know that a man
could work himself up into so fierce
a rage. I have never. seen such con-
centrated fury. There was one mo-
ment when 1 thought he would strike
me. oh, wasn't afraid don't think
that, but it was such a revelation 1
knew he had an ungovernable temper,
but I had never seen him wholly lose
control of ii.
Il knew you thought that every
thing would be all right after that tea
at the Astoritz. You left us purpose
ly, that he might take me home alone.
But we were really nearer when you
were with US. We hardly spoke after
you left we were both waiting for the
other to make the overtures and neith-
er one Of us did.
I, the
CAP he asked If he might come the next
night All that next day / was in a
fervor of excitement confident that
everything would be cleared up in the
long evening we would have together.
Then some old friends of fathers,
whom I had to help entertain called
that evening. Bob did not have a
moment with me alone until they left
and they stayed until after eleven, ne
was furious. He blamed me for our
lost evening. He was most unreason-
able and / was in no mood to humor
him 1t is curious to think how
slight thing may affect our whole
life. If those people had not called |
would not now be on this train on my
way to Florida.
AS it is, we quarreled bitterly. And
when he left was understood that he
and that we wouldhave it out finally
then. He did come and we did have
it out.
"He thought that he would break

oh can two people who love each
other deliberately try to hurt each
other.
yet that is what we both did
There was nothing too cruel for either
of us to say You told me that when
YOU were hurt that you never could
keep back the tears,but / did not cry.
He said that was monstrously cold
