If a soldier is to die, he wants to
die in action, but in the great account
ing it IS all the same, they all go on
the Roll of Honor with an equal share
in the glory. The soldiers who died
in training camps enlisted for service,
not knowing what their lot was to be.
Their work was finished before they
reached the active battlefield, but the
field of honor is wherever he has done
his best, and these boys who died in
the training camps have done the best
that it was In their power TO do. Their
country acknowledges and appreciates
their faith and loyalty.

How He Got Needed Umbrella

W. NJ. Hughes, the premier of Aus
tralia, once came by an umbrella
through illicit means. He is fond of
telling the tale against himself.
While he was walking home one
pftch-black night a sudden storm
broke and, seeking shelter from the
rain, he. FASTENED to the nearest door
way. After waiting there for a few
minutes, he spied a small boy coming
along with an enormous umbrella.
The premier, thinking the owner
might offer to share, called out shars-
ly Hi, there, young man! Where
are you going with that umbrella?''
The lad, startled at the sound which
apparently emanated from nowhere.
dropped the umbrella and fled up the
street as hard as his legs would carry
him. He vanished utterly, and Mr..
Hughes predicament was solved.

Yank Artillery Made Record.

The French take more pride in their
artillery than in almost any other fea-
ture of their military service, writes
c. w. Barron in the Wall Street Jour-
nal. In this war they made world rec
ords in effective gunnery. The Amer
lean boys watched the French move
1318-inch guns into position in As min
utes with horses and motors. Then
the Frenchmen saw the American
boys do it in 1914 minutes, and they
did not use either horses or motors.
Fifty American officers and men put
the gun into place and they were the
talk of the town at that French camp.
Afterward the French called upon their
officers for themselves and all their
man power to do this work when the
tractor was not about.
When the Germans met the Ameri-
can gunners they thought a new kind
of rapid-f1re three-inch gun had come
into the war because it shot so much
more rapidly.

CHOICE OF BLOUSE
Decision on Style Is of Impor-
lance to All Women.
Garment to Accompany Suit Should
Blend Properly and Coat Must
Be Long Enough.

Selection of the suit blouse is
much more important matter than
many women think. If the blouse
chosen to accompany a suit does not
blend properly with the suit the en-
tire outfit appears at disadvantage,
declares fashion writer. If the suit
is a dressy one, the blouse should be
of the same type, and if a plainly
tailored or sport suit is worn the
blouse should be equally severe.
The blouse shown in the sketch is
smart model for wear with a dressy
suit. The coat of the suit must be
long enough to cover the entire blouse
of course; but suit coats this season
are practically all quite long. Thirty
eight inches is about the minimum
length, and some reach almost TO the
hem of the skirt.
The blouse shown is made of georg-
cite, with the front cut on surpIice
lines. The back is plain, finished at
the neck with a little round yoke or
collar embroidered to match the long
panels that extend down either side
Of the front. This blouse would be
smart, made of white georgette, with
embroidery and piping of revers in
oriental colorings, or a single color to
match the suit with which the blouse
is to be worn may be chosen. This
blouse might also be made of satin
or crepe de chine, with very good eff
feet
A great many of the smartest
blouses shown this season combine two
colors. The upper part or sleeves
may be of rose, with lower half, from
bust to waistline, of navy, or the
entire blouse may be of rose color
with navy sleeves for example.
There is clever conservation
scheme in utilizing last seasons blouses
of sheer white, such as georgette,
lace, net, ETC., as the foundation over
which are worn little low-necked.
sleeveless blouSes made of georgette
in color 70 match the seasons suit.
These little sleeveless georgette
blouses in color are even worn over
sheer lingerie blouses.
A great many tailored crepe de
chine and satin blouses are shown
this season made with high collars.

If there is really anything at all lie
the Darwinian theory Of evolution, we
must recognize the possibility that ten
million years ago orr ancestors may

nibals of ten million years ago were
people who had by rapid progression

The big business man can be claimed
as an American product. Other ma
lions have produced poets, journalists.
orators, scientists philosophers, but no
other country has produced men like
those who captain our Industries. Much
can be learned by comparing a back
ward country like China with a for
ward country like America. The nat
ural resources of China are as great
as, If not greater than, those of Amer
lea. Numerically, the man power Of
China is greater, writes William A.
Feather in Leslie's. But as far as
physical development is concerned
China is a century behind America.
Why is this? What is the force that
is lacking in China and present in
America?

BLOUSE AND THE SHIRTWAIST
Garments That Aid the Majority of
Women in Solving the Economical
Dress Problem.

Every once in a while we are odd
by some fashion authority that no
one is wearing the shirtwaist," or that
the blouse of the season is so modified
from the old type of tucked-in shirt
waist as to be really different gar
ment; that ''eyery one" now considers
it necessary to have a special blouse
virtually becomes a one-piece frock
with a coat to match.
But the ''every one" in such state
ments, notes fashion correspondent,
is really very incOnsiderable person
age and the good old shirtwaist goes
along solving the dress problem of al
most all women-either in the home or
in the workaday world outside the
home.
You could prove to yourself if you
wished to that it rarely if ever pays to
buy shirtwaist made of inferior ma
teria1. In fact, the cheap shirtwaist is
usually made on an inferior pattern
and not only does the material shrink
out of shape but the actual lines are
such that it loses it's good looks and
comfort after few launderings.
You could prove, even if you are
dressing ON so thrifty basis as TO al
low yourself only 500 or S75 a year
for all your clothes, that it is true
economy to buy every year two blouses
that cost as much as So or 81.

HelpfuI Hints.

The air of a room may be freshened
by putting few drops of oil of laven-
der into a bowl of boiling water and
letting it stand until the water is quite
cold. People who keep houses dark
for fear Of the sunlight spelling their
carpets or furniture have no idea of
the misunderstanding influence of
sunlight and air. The ends of candles
are useful in kindling the fire. Cut
them into small pieces and distribute
them among the kindling. The fire
will burn up much more quickly.

Mr.. Cook, as ar industrious and &C

duced an exceptionally useful and de-
sirable book. 1t is not critical rrea-
tlse, containing indeed little or no crit
iclsm save of the most incidental kind.
1t is not at all an anthology, though
1t does give samples of the work Of
it's subjects, often very brief and not
always the best that might have been
selected. 1t is rather collection Of
brief biographies of the whole goodly
company of verse writer's, young and
old, conventional and free" with bibli-
ographies--and with some terse charae~
terizations and quoted appropriations. :"
1t is natural and laudable that readers
should want to know something of the
personalities of the people whose poems
they read, and that want is precisely
what this book is designed to meet, and
does meet in a very comprehensive
manner, with admirable discretion and
taste and catholic impartiality. 1t is
an excellent handbook for the library
or for the readers easy chair.
