NEcKTIE IS A BAROMETER
When Man Wears Red Scarf He Can
Predict Weather for "a
Hours.

IrondeQuolt. n. Y.--Clarence Glen
demon, a young married man OF this
village, says he has something new
and unique I'm the line Of barome-
tors. II is in the form of red neck
tie his wife presented him as Christ
mas present. He says that every time
he has an inclination to wear it be can
tell exactly what the weather is GU
ing TO he for the next - hours.
The tic is a silk one and It's color
when the weather Is extremely warm
for winter. is the brightest red mag
inahle. When n, cold wave Is an
preaching the color OF the tie turns TO
pale red, and while It's pnlSish tone
Is still quite beautiful, ii is many
shades lighter than scarlet.
One dry Clarence thought the tic
would look well with n new brown
suit. which he was to wear to a small
dinner party. When he took it from
the drawer Of his dresser he noticed
that its color was very light pink, al
most lavender shnde. This told
him that the night would turn very
cold II did, the Thermometer going
below zero before nine o'clock the next
morning. making good his predictions
at the dinner party. where he amazed
the guestswiflt an explanation of his
ncckiie barometer.
Since tho dinner party he has found
the tie TO be perfectly reliable MS q
silent weather prophet and scientists
here are all worked up over the
strange phenomenon. Clarence says
he wouldn't take 500 for the tic, al
though he expects to be offered tina;
sum for IL.

ing When The Germans were hurled
back OF the Marne river at Dun, the

dispatch that surprised the world, they
built six bridges across the river and
opened up the lines Of communication
TO such an extent that the Germans
were completely engulfed by the on
coming horde Of Yanks. These bridges
across the Meuse were one Of the fac
tors that brought about the German
collapse.
AT the signing OF the armistice the!

farthest point east on tho American
front
"The advance OF the army OF occu-
Ipation found them stlll I'm the game

December, 1918. Since then they have
spent all their time making themselves
and their comrades comfortable by
building theatres, barracks, mess halls
and other structures throughout the
bridgehead area. They are the best
known regiment in the fighting Third

"Dunsany the Dramatist"

A NEW and enlarged edition Of Ed
"A ward Hale Bierstadt's Dunsany
the Dramatist has just appeared. For
some unaccountable reason we are offered
no explanation of the fact that this is a
new revised edition, or told wherein it DIFF
fers from the last. But from internal
evidence it appears that Mr.. Bierstadt
has enriched his study with good deal
Of aneedotial matter of considerable in
terest
This third edition contains few letters
to the author of the book, reprint Of q
speech called Nowadays and Preface to
the Revised Edition, in which Mr.. Bier
stadt prints certain of Dunsany's COM
ments made in the margins of the first
edition, which Mr.. Bierstadt has sent to
Dunsany with a request for additions and
corrections.
Dunsany must have been peculiarly
pleased and amused TO be able to ammo
tate this life of himself. A boyish delight
is observable in the following notes:
IL said that Lord Dunsany was quite
six feet two, and TO this he replies:
"No, six feet four ever since left
Eton- I used to be slender, but wouldn't
call myself so now"
Elsewhese Mr.. Bierstadt had remarked
that Dunsany was "rather poor for a
peer" Dunsany notes.

when We begin paying for breakages
caused by The Kaiser Wilde at large"
There are other and more serious COM
ments, for which we have no space. We
can only add that this very readable book
is now rendered more readable by reason
Of the additional material furnished BY
the subject of the book himself.

Englands decision to enter the war that

The Story of a
Conscientious Director

W E had no idea there were so many
w different kinds Of Conscientious
Directors until we recently read book
about them and discovered, to name only
q few, that they include Holy Jumpers,
q Russian variety, who leap like the little
hills when the spirit is upon them; and
Mennonites, who cannot wear buttons and
therefore naturally object to uniforms
where buttons are the principal part Of
the whole affair; and the Church of Dan
iel's Band, Christadelphians, Gilbert Can
mans, Bertrand Russells and Pastor Rus
settles, Quakers and many others. or
these we recall that just as the Menon-
nonites were said to be the most igno-
rant Of the Conscientious Directors
and the negroes the most voluble with
the Socialists close second) the Quakers,
on the whole, were the most reasonable
and most admirable. This probably ex-
plains why Harold Begbie, in his novel
written in defence of the Conscientious
Directors in England and in criticism Of
England's treatment of them, chose for his
martyr and hero Quaker.
Christopher Sterling is a Quaker con-
vert. He is the eldest son Of a great
English family, who renounces his patri-
mony to go, like George AIDES Fat Lady
in the fable long ago, to carry sunshine
to the poor, whom Christopher, by the
way, chooses to call the oppressed. Chris
topher accepts the teachings of Christ lit
orally, and follows the Tolstoyan plough,
so to speak, in the East End Of London.
Christopher Earries Quaker convert,
and he and Jsae live. in two rooms. At
first Jane has woman come in to do her
washing, but one day when Christopher
came home Unexpectedly and entering
the kitchen and seeing the washing strung
across the little room, he uttered cry Of
pleasure, going eagerly to his wife and
kissing her."
"You could have done nothing to
please me better he said with warm
pleasure; now we shall be exactly like
