London, Jan 5.-A device which for
more than three years helped to pro
tect British warships from German
mines has won for its inventor, Lieut.
Charles D. Burney of the British
navy, the order of Companion of st.
Michael and st. George and a grant
Of $150,O00. The invention is said to
have saved the lives of hundreds of
sailors and prevented the loss Of
many warships. 1t consists of a wa
terplane shaped like a torpedo hav.
ing a pair Of large fat fins projecting
on either side. It is towed oversize
by a wire rope in such a way that II
runs from the ships bows outward
The wire rope is intended to pick III
the mooring ropes of mines ans slide
them along until they reach to the
nose OF the device, where 70 aarw
saw is fixed inside a V-shaped slot
The saw cuts through the moorlna
rope and allows the mine to float
free where it can either be avoided
or destroyed
The invention is known in the sery
ice as the "P. v" or "paravane

But then the armistice came! And
as suddenly as the war spirit had
sprung full grown American hearts
the idea that the fight was won took
possession and changed everything.
Boys who had never allowed their

BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

The family may be the mainstay
/ of the nation but it is certainly the
cause of a large part of the trouble
! in this world.
And the reason for it lies not in
the institution itself. but in the
! abuse of it. in the unwarranted and
often disgraceful behavior of the
| family's component members.
Birds in their little nests agree"
as DR.. Isaac Watts edifyingly pointed
out But do families profit by tnis
happy example? Far from ii. More
often they use the home circle as a
place to vent their grouches, and to
indulge in satiric criticism and fault
finding OF a character which they
would not dare employ elsewhere.
That blood is thicker than water
must surely be true. when one thinks
OF all that the members of families
put up with from one another. and
still continue to live together.
Usually. too. it is one particular
member of the family who causes
most of the inharmony, and through
his selfshness and lack of consider
alton makes life miserable Cor all the
rest.

for boy of his age to act that way

Salvation Army Opens
Social Center in Old
Barroom in Chicago
Bu Associated Press.

Chicago, April 9.-Scores of
khaki-clad men turned in yesterday
at the sign of an old time saloon
only TO find themselves in the first
substitute saloon opened in Chica-
go by the Salvation Army. The
swinging doors, the long mirror and
the back bar were in evidence. But
the free lunch" counter had chang
ed to a coffee and doughnut stand.
while bizarre pictures had yielded
TO the cam moufleur's brush; some
nymphs were given garb; beer stems
were turned to flower pots.
Beside the Salvation lassies, sew
eral other young women were pres
ent. Some met their sweethearts
there-one couple started from the
place on their honeymoon.
The social centers-intended to
take the place of saloons if prohibi-
tion becomes a realty-are the out
growth of the overseas hut" Others
are to be opened throughout the
country.

So long as he sees that he can
upset the household by his ugly con-
duct, and have you all crying and
worried over it, he will persist in his
| way; for all this tickles his vanity
and adds to his sense of Importance.
All boys love to pose for effect.
They are continually dramatizing
themselves in one role or another.
and so long as they can gain notice
| by doing it they will keep on.
remember on one occasion n
younCster who declined anything to
eat for over week. As he was
possessed of a decidedly healthy ap-
petite. this refusal of food excited
good deal of anxiety on the part
of his parents and every effort was
made to tempt him with delicacies
and things of which he was especial
ly fond. but in vain.
The more he was urged the less
inclination he showed for anything
to eat. There is no knowing what
would have happened, if it had not
been discovered that he was secret
ly subsisting on cache of dry bread
and apples which he had stored up.
In other words he was deliberately
furnishing himself in order to be-
come an object of sympathy. With
out telling him of the discovery no
further attention was paid TO his
NaSaries at the table, and as con-
sequence his appetite soon returned
y similar course of treatment will
be found efficaCious in almost every
case Indifference is the one thing
which no holder of a pose can stand.
OF course, with your brother, his
ridiculous pose has become more or
less of habit. and yet l believe it
may still be successfully combatted.
