THE BLIND AND SMOKING

That blind men do not enjoy
smoking is a belief as widespre ad
as it is false. The reason is not
Tar to seen. Try to smoke your
pipe in dark room, avoid using
the glow of the bowl as a guide,
and you will find it difficult to tell
after few minutes whether your
pipe is out or burning furiously.
The burning weed seems to have
lost both taste and aroma. In the
case of the blind there is probably
a more acute appreciation of the
fumes than the ordinary man en-
joys. At the same time, the eye
being quicker than the palate in
perceiving whether the pipe be lit
or unlit, blind man may for
short time puff contentedly at a
pipe which has gone out. 1t may
be to avoid that that blind men
smoke faster than those who have
their sight.-Philadelphia North
American.

SAYS WAR COST WORLD
OVER ESQ BILLION DOLLARS.

London.-Edgar Crammond, a
prominent British field writer, esti-
mates the direct cost of the war to
the allies at 2S,360, 100000 pounds
sterling, and to the central Euro
pean powers at 1865, 1000, 900
pounds. He estimates the total
cost of the war, including indirect
losses, at 2,OO0,OOO,OOO pounds.
There has been nothing, he says
approaching this destruction of
capital wealth in the history of the
world. The immediate result Of
the upheaval is to be found in the
high cost of living and universal
past experience, he concluded that
increase of wages. Judging from
the fall in the price of commodi-
ties and wages will take place slow
ly and gradually.
The great war has enormously
increased the power of production
in Great Britain, and he is con-
WINGED that this at the present time
is at least so per cent over the pro-
duction of 1913.
Through all the economic records
of the past. Mr.. Crammond says,

BAKER BACK
FROM INSPECTION TRIP;
RUSHING DECENTRALIZATION

MISUNDERSTANDING of War
Baker and Chief of Staff March re-
turned to Washington today from
a visit around the country on an
inspection of the rehabilitation
centers. Mr.. Baker declared he
found the average time of dis
charge for the men from overseas
after the arrival in this country
forty-eight hours, adding he had
not heard a complaint from the
many soldiers he talked with.
Mr.. Baker said during addresses
at Chambers of Commerce in sever
al cities he generally spoke of the
League of Nations proposal being a
necessity, because of the possibility
of drawing the whole peoples in ac-
tual conflict if not accepted.
Mr.. Baker expects to visit
Europe soon, but the possibility of
an extra session of congress might
cause a postponement of the trip.

In the light of these conclusions,

How kin l ever git her Out?" he
murmured to himself. He tried
vainly to form some plan whereby
he could reach her. He studied
and ransacked his brains for. any
suggestion that would help him to
rescue her. But to no avail.
The while she was holding mad
ly to the willow bushes, the water
slowly rising, the sound of the mill
wheel growing louder, the drift
pile behind the bridge becoming
greater and greater. The weak
willow-bushes could not stand the
strain much longer: they would be
borne down by the weight of the
driftwood and then the bridge
would float on to the dam. The min

coming more imminent every sec

and I'll be out there" he answered
consolingly.
Nearby where he was standing a
telephone pole had fallen the day
before, and still had the crossbeams
and several wires attached to It,
This he rolled down to the waters
edge, just above the willows where
Samantha was waiting Then,
fastening the crossbeams by means
of the wires to a tree, he pushed
it into the stream and veered it
around so that the center of the
pole rested against the drift-pile
to which Samantha cung and the
other end reached the farther shore
forming a bridge across the stream.
Now ketch onto that pole and

to her, which command she gladly
obeyed.
Holding fast to the pole to keep
the food from washing him away,
Oscar slowly swan out into the
stream. The water was dashing

chips OF wood cut cash in his
face, Finally he reached Saman-
thu, who was cleaviug to the pole

wide, it could not float swiftly but
moved slowly, humping against

To this raft Samantha chung des-
perately, calling and crying, only
to hear her cries swallowed in the
din of the rushing waters. Oh,
the awful agony of that moment!
She was going downstream and was
aware that in few minutes she
would near the mill. Here the
steam widened and the bridge,
gaining impetus, would rush over
the dam, hurting her to her death
in the foaming caldrOn beneath.
Already the thunder OF the water
and the creaky grind of the mill
wheel came to her like the voices
of doom. She shuddered. She
must do something must!
On the bank next her home,
where the shore was low, there
stooda great mass if willow-bushe5.
The water had completely sur
rounded these so that only their
tops were visible, But among
these tangled branches several logs
had lodged, and against these q
large amount of driiJwood, fodder
and grass had washed, forming a
sort of floating island Around
this the water swirled and circled
and onto this the bridge was DASH
ed-aud lodged, Quickly Saman-
tina caught hold of willow branch
and clung TO it with all her might.
Then once more she cried alond
for help and listened 10 her voice
dying eway down the angry flood.
Then-was it?-some faint
sound, like someone's voice, came
back in answer from the shore.
And she thought she saw a dark
form. like that Of a man, moving
along the bank, creeping toward
the waters edge, perhaps trying to
determine whence came that call
for assistance. The dark figure
moved down until ne came 10 a
point opposite the willows where
she was lodged; then he placed his
hands to his mouth SO as to form a
sort of megapbOne and called out:
"WHO-O-EE!"
Il was Oscars voice. There was
no misteking that. And now, the
moon having emerged from behind
a cloud, Samantha could see the
tall figure on che shore and recog-
nlzed him.
