-HomeIy Hue of Immortal
Grass Is More Enchanting
Than the Lily or the Rose

Lying in the sunshine among the but
tercups and dandelions of May, scarce
ly higher in intelligence than the
minute tenants of that mimic wilder
ness, our earliest recollectiOns are Of
grass; and when the fitful fever Is
ended and the foolish wrangle of the
market and the forum is closed, grass
heals over the scar which our descent
into the bosom of earth has made and
the carpet of the infant becomes the
blanket of the dead. Grass is the
forgiveness of nature-her constant
benediction. Fields trampled with
battle, saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass-grown like rural lanes and are
obliterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is i'm
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of it's subter-
ranean vitality and energies upon the
first solicitation of spring Sown by
the winds, by the wandering birds,
propagated by the subtle agriculture
of the elements, which are it's ministers
and servants, it softens the rude out
line of the world. 1t bears no blazonry
of bloom or splendOr, but it's hOmely
hue is more enchanting than the lily
or the rose. 1t yieldsn no fruit in earth
or air, and yet should it's harvest fail
for single year, famine would de-
populate the world.-John J. ingalls,.

Eight Well Defined Spots
on the Sun and May Be Seen
With Three-Inch Telescope

There are, at present, eight very
we'll defined spots on the sun, that
may be well seen with a three-inch
telescope, notes a correspondent Six
of them lie, in groups of two, along
a parallel to the suns equator, and
about Is degrees north of it. The
other two are close together and
the solar equatOr~near the suns east
ern limb. If seen near the horizon
these parallels are almost vertical.
Since one cannot look directly at
the sun, these spots can be best seen
by focusing the image of the sun
on white card held at little dis
lance from the eyepiece of the tel
escOpe or field glass. When the i'm
age of the sun is three inches in diam
eter, these spots appear to be about
one-sixteenth Of an inch in diameter,
or about One-ffteenth of the suns di-
ameter. This would make their act
ual breadth about 1900 miles, or
somewhat more than twice the dame
ter of the earth. Their nature is not
precisely known, but they are believed
to be eruptions in the suns surface.
The gigantic scale of solar activity
is we'll illustrated by their enormous
size.
The only influence that sun spots
have been actually demonstrated to
have on the earth is on it's magnetism.

disturbances are more numerous and
violent, and the aurora borealis is

Bells Originally Used to
Clear Air of Evil Spirits

The use of bells originated in SUI
perStition. They were first used in
China great many centuries ago, and
their original purpose was to dispel
and clear the air of 'evil spirits" also
to break up and drive away storms.
From China bells were eventually in
trOduced into Europe. Old records tell
us how the tolling of bells kept the
"spirits of darkness" from assailing
people while in the act OF worship.
Hence tee connection of bells with
churches. 1t was only a compare
lively recent date that bells were used
for calling the people TO church. For
ages they were designed solely fol-
keeping evil spirits at a safe distance

Serve. a Salad Every Day.

The simple green. crisp salads which
in many localities may be had for the
gathering, are the best of blood ton
les in the spring time. Water cress,
dandelion green's. young onions, lettuce
and radishes are all Obtainable in
most places. Where there is running
water from a spring (not too rapid)
one may set out plants of water cress
and leave salad for future genera
tons to enjoy.
A simple French dressing is gen.
orally liked for these crisp. green sal
ads: take one tablespoonful of good
vinegar and three of the best olive
OIL salt. little sugar and pepper to
taste. Corn oils are also good II
olive oil is not to be obtained.

able to keep up to the scratch on mat
tiers outside army life. And he agrees
that it is up to him to learn all he can
and tell it to his American friends
when he returns to the United States.
Obvious as it may seem, this idea
of getting information, of becoming
acquainted with problems Of the day,
is welcomed by men cooped up In
army camps thinking only of that day
when they will get back to America.
Sometimes it happens that SOL
der gets his first definite idea Of the
responsibilities he is to assume as a.
citizen, directly from these lectures
He commences to realize that he iS
scheduled to become an important fig
ure in American political affairs. He
appreciates more fully that he is a
man of broader vision than when he
left America.
He had been too busy training and
travelling to think a great deal about
his remote future, during the period OF
war. Now he is getting his bearings
again. And the welfare men are en-
couraging him to develop his ideas, to
round them out by observation and
reading and by study. And means are
being provided for study. Here in
France the welfare boards are building
up big educational machines.
More than 100000 men, during the
first weeks of the peace conference
in Paris, were enrolled in the hundreds
of educational classes In the army
camps of France. This work was go
ing on all over the country. A list.
Of the schools would be report ON
the disposition of the American troops
in France, because there was some
kind of school in virtually every camp.
Officers b.re instructors.
Army officers--men trained in the va
rious sciences and professionalism
as instructors. 1t was beyond the
ability of the Y. M. G. A.. or any other
necessary teachers from their own
comparatively small personnels.
So while the American boys waited
patiently for the ships that would
take them back home, they studied by
the hundred thousand, and began their
preparation for return to civilian life
where, If the ideals of Comrades in
Service are realized, they will still
maintain much of the fellowship of
service that helped to defeat Germany.
There are many men in France who
believe Americas great and lasting
benefit from the war will be a better
realization of the duty each American
owes to his government and his COM
munity, of better understanding of
the ideals of America, and of wiping
out of much class prejudice and sec
tionalism. And Comrades in Service,
in addition to being a great after-the-
war organization such as the G. A. r.
and u. G. ", will perpetuate these
results of war, which bring out the
finest traits of character.
Headquarters for Comrades in Serv-
ice was organized in France, but as
soon as a goodly proportion of the
American army is sent home, head
quarters is to be moved to some large
American city, probably Washington.

magazine devoted to the interests of
Comrades in Service Men in the
group of welfare workers in Paris who
are mapping out the magazines pro-
gram believe a large section of the
publication should be devoted to his
tory of the various divisions that Ell
their came to France to form part of
the American expeditionary force, or
remained in the American camps pre-
vented from taking q more active part
in the war by the sudden collapse of
Germany.
Here in France, Comrades in Service
is beginning it's actual existence as q
series of soldiers clubs, with the men
electing their own officials and taking
large part in forming the program of
their individual chapters.
General Convention Planned.
Delegates to general convention, for
instance, to be held in Paris for the
purpose of completing organization on
large scale, are chosen from the va
rious units scattered through France.
By the time the convention is called
it is the plan to have organization work
completed in all Of the army groups
with the possible exception of the
army of occupation along the German
border.
In a great many ways the business
of starting Comrades in Service as an
active force in the American army
can be considered as a kind of recon
struction activity. 1t is kind of con-
Meeting link between active service
and return to civilian life.
Incidentally program of education
has been launched here by the army
officers and welfare workers as a STEP
ping stone toward the time when the
soldier bids the army good-by. Dur
ing the war days the soldiers were con-
cerned principally with training prob
lens and adjusting themselves to liv-
ing the army life. They were not able
to keep abreast of the news of the
day, partly because they had enough
to do learning to become soldiers, and
also because they had small Opportu-
nifty to read the daily papers and cur
rent magazines.
Now that rehabilitation looms
ahead as the next big milestone on the
soldiers program he is acquiring in
formation on such subjects as ''The
League of Nations" Universal Mil
itary Training" and kindred impor-
tant problems of the day. All of the
welfare groups-the Y. M. G. A., the
Salvation Army, the Jewish Welfare
board and the Knights of Columbus
are assisting in whatever manner they
can in this educational campaign.
Urged to Inform Themselves.
"You are about to return home" the
welfare lecturers, tell soldier audi
ences "and you are going to be ques-
toned frequently by the people who
have remained at home, about condi-
tons in France, about universal mill
tary training, about half hundred
topics of this great era. Have you
been gathering accurate information
about these subjects? Are you going
to be able to answer questions fully?

Down the long valley were thousands
of little volcanoes, sending their
clouds of steam hundreds of feet into

great round mouths, through which the
gases poured; from others it seemed
as though the gases escaped from

NAVY TO REoUlsITIoN STEEL
Decide on Emergency Measure,When
Rejected Bids Are Repeated

Washington, May 14.--(By A. Po-
The Navy Department has decided to
exercise its authority under war emer-
gency legislation and rcquisition steel
for battleship construction. The price
to be paid would be fixed later, on a
basis Of market conditions aud quota
tious rather than on an examination Of
the steel makers books. ,
This course of action was determined
upon ut conference today between
Acting Secretary Roosevelt and officials
of the department, at which bids sub
.mitted yesterday for 14,000 tons of
structural steel were considered The
bids virtually were duplicates of those
previously submitted by the companies
at prices for steel agreed upon between
the old industrial board and the in =
dustry and which were rejected as
showing that there had been no open
competition.
The fact that two of the four battle
ships are authorized under a provision
that actual construction work must
start prior to July I. 1919. prompted
! the department to resort to emergency
| powers to obtain the necessary steel.
