Smashing All Records.

The knell of such musical German
propaganda as ode Wacht am Rhein''
and Deutschland Uber Allies" was
sounded the other day when more than
1,5OO monograph records embracing
these and similar airs were destroyed
by committee Of women acting I'M
der the auspices of the National Phono-
graph Records Recruiting corps. The
records were reduced to fragments
with hammers ut the corps headquar-
ters. Aside from Kidding the country
of all German records that SAVIOR of
propaganda, the primal purpose of the
organization is the gathering up Of all
"slacker records in the country for
the entertainment of American boys in
the frontline trenches. TO this end !,
Stacker drive for records will be
launched next wcek.-New York Sun.

VICTOR OVER CHINESE DRAGON
American-Made Motortrucks Are VIM
ming Way to Popularity In Land
of Conservatism.

Way back before the year i they
used to build high stone walls around
the cities in China to keep out the eX-
ponents of civilization. Today they are
tearing down these walls, breaking
them up into fine pieces, and using
them to build highways that will en-
able their now progressive govern
ment to make the best use of the
American-made motortrucks which
China is beginning to utilize.
This is, perhaps, as striking COM
ment on the economic and political
changes that are taking place within
this interesting country as has come
out Of China in long time. The cred
it for such progressive policies is given
in the main to Dr. George E. Morris,
famous explorer and political adviser
to the Chinese republic, an exchange
states. Doctor Norris has succeeded
in substituting lot Of new American
ideas for the superstitions and conser-
vatism of the one-time "heathen Chi
nee." And now it is the motortruck
that has gained his championship.
A considerable number of trucks are
now in use in China, and they are do
ing everything required of them with
remarkable efficiency, in spite Of the
difficulty of securing skilled drivers
and competent mechanics in that part
Of the world.

On Marrying Aviators.

1t is noticed that the dear girls are
marrying aviation lieutenants more
than any other class of soldiers. This
is not because so many Of them are
killed, but because the service is the
most romantic, and if there is any,
thing a well-balanced girl likes more
than anything else it is romance. And
to have husband who sails the blue
skies and goes hiding in the clouds
makes a girl very proud. She has a
right to be. He is looked upon asa
superman who gets beyond the domain
of gravitation and wanders in the re-
gions where the angels are supposed
to fly. When such one gets back
to earth and sits with his wife before
the cordial fireplace, and talks to her
Of stars, sunsets and dreams, could
there be more delightful company :?
Who would not be an aviator and face
all the perils Of aviation for such an
experience? No wonder the govern
ment has more aviators than it wants.

WHEN MAKING OUT A CHECK
Take Time Enough to Write LegibIy
and Be Sure Amount Is-tndicated
Clearly In Writing.

Do you know how to write a check
so that it cannot be successfully tam
pered with? Experts declare that
carelessness in that small matter Is
responsible for the loss of millions of
dollars annually, the loss falling some
times on the individual and sometimes
on the bank. There are mechanical
devices to prevent the raising of
checks, but their use is not general,
partly because of the expense, but
more particularly, probably, because it
adds one more to the multitude Of
things to be done.
For those who are daily taking
chances William G. Pengelly, hand.
writing expert in a recent paper, Of.
fers some valuable advice in the draw
Ing OF checks. His first suggestion Is
to take enough time for the process to
be sure of doing a good job. In filling
IN the space for the amount in nu-
merals write in legible figures, begin
ming close to the printed dollar mark
; don't leave space for the insertion of
another figure. Then write the amount
IN words, preferably beginning with
; capital, at the left-hand end Of the
line; don't write it so that the amount
stands in the middle of the line; hav.
ing written the amount properly, draw
heavy line from the last letter to
the word Dollars at the right. AS
he says, "block the words i'm so that
additions cannot be easily made either
at the beginning or at the end. When
the words are written clearly and with
an initial of unmistakable identity, the
check-raiser has little opportunity for
his work.
Another safeguard Mr.. Pengelly sug-
gests is the writing of the amount of
the check, either in figures or words, in
red ink, above or within the signature
at the bottom. In his experience he
has found this to be a successful safe
guard against fraud. But the all-im.
portant things are legibilty of hand
writing and proper location Of the
written amounts. Don't be in hurry
in writing check. 1t is haste that
makes trouble.-Columbu Dispatch.

GRATEFUL FOR COLD WATER
Thirsty Fighters Went on Their Way
Blessing the Thoughtfulness Of
That Red Cross Worker.

There was plenty Of water in X, but
tin mug of it was more deadly than
a German machine gun. It's impossi-
BILE to push two or three hundred thou
sand soldiers back and forth over Il
locality, especially when half of them
are Germans and there isn't time to
clean up after they have been de-
feated, and keep the water supply I'M
affected. And when, as is the case
often, the water wasn't very pure to
begin with, it's not at all wise to daily
with the idea of drinking it, But what
can you do when you've been out all
day fighting and pursuing Germans
and your canteen's empty and the roof
of your mouth feels like a vulcanized
scrubbing board?
That's the thought that came to a
Red Cross field service man during
the hottest fighting in August. 1t was
hot in two senses. The bullets flew
and the sun melted. And the Red
Cross man took out his largest mar
mite and filled it with water that was
cool and purified. He kept 1t full all
day and every soldier that passed that
way had drink Of water. 1t was
water they wanted just then. A little
initiative on the part of one man made
the soldiers as he himself put it "ab-
surdly grateful" But after struggling
across fields and roads all day in the
hot sun, well-well men do become alb
surdly grateful for a drink of cool
water.-From q Red Cross Scrapbook.

st. MihieI Party.

One infantry company at the end
of several hours advance found that
1t had cut off several score of Germans
in wood. The Germans didn't show
any fight. Most of them didn't even
exhibit enough nerve to come out and
surrender. When it came time for the
captain to make his periodical report
to his battalion P. c., this sentence
concluded the message he sent back:
"Have about hundred friendly
troops in woods on my right. Paris

it wakens him with a watchmnn's rat

Moraje-a New Word.

Napoleon once remarked that NOR
ale Is to other factors in war as three
to one. Morale is new word to our
speech, and I do not know that any
one has yet fully defined it. but there
are certain factors which must enter
into it's composition. And one of these
factors is the turning of mems minds
away from the trenches to other
thoughts and occupations. Without
change Of mental atmosphere morbid
ness comes and inconsistencies and the
feeling Of being ''fed up on the war
dulls the fue edge of enthusiasm.-

judged from a common sense view,
that ought to be sufficient evidence Of
