All That Aneeted Her.

That the Empress Eugene is not
prone to brood sentimentally over the
past Is evidenced by an incident that
occurred some years ago. She visited
Windsor castle. palace in which in
the golden days of the empire she was
received as an honored guest. Those
who accompanied her on this second
visit lowered near her, fearing that
she would be overcome with the con-
trast between the past and the present.
especially when she viewed the apart
ments fitted up for her use and which
had not been changed. But 1t was
merely her artistic sense that was of
Tended. The hangings of the huge
bed were of imperial purple with the
green Of Napoleon, and the ex-empress
remarked disgustedly, 'Toujours ces
affreux rideaux - always those
frightful curtains"

Curious Clubs.

The recent announcement that an
English Bald Headed Mems club" had
inst met-the first time since 1915,
owing ia the war-serves to recall one
or two odd clubs.
saThe Fat Mans club" for instance,
was known to exist in Paris in 1897.
It's heaviest member turned the scale
at 336 pounds and the chief qualifica-
tion for membership was to weigh at
least go pounds.
About this time there also met In
New York the Society Of the Pointed
Boards most exclusive club. No
one was eligible unless he had care

DIME NOVELS COMING BACK
In Eighteen Months "Nick Carter
Has Had Sales That Have Been
Record Breaking.

Nick Carter has come into his own
again. The king OF the ''paperbacks'
has made record-breaking return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago his sales began to mount steadily
until the entire supply Of Nick Carter
books was exhausted, says the Sun.
His return to fame was unexpected.
It was not the result Of an advertise
\ ing campaign. for the publishers OF
the paper-bound books do not adver-
tise. They depend instead for the
sale Of their books on the lists printed
In the back pages OF each volume.
And Nick Carter was not the only
member of the "paperback" tribe to
return. All the old favorites-Laura
Jean Libbey. Bertha NJ. Clay, Mrs. E.
d. e. N. Southworth and Augusta ].
Evans-have come back" surpris-
ingly.
Five years ago everyone was will
ing to predict that the movies had
killed the production of cheap books.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
" from the screen than from the print
ed page-and the price was the same.
Publishers Of the paper books are
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired OF the motion picture
or whether new class of readers has
arisen. OF one thing they are certain.
though, the demand for the 10 and 10
cent book has increased fourfold. II
1t were not for the increased cost or
production these publishers would be
reaping the harvest Of their lives.
Stories Of American life-as seen by
Bertha NJ Clay and other writer's OF
her class-and detective Stories are
most In demand. Fortune-telling
books and letter writer's also have
large steady sale. Dream" books
were never so popular as they are to-
day, their publishers say.

No Woman Passenger pilots.

In England women will not be given
permission to serve as pilots on pas
senger airplanes. An official of the
air ministry gave the reason for this
decision to writer on the London
Sketch as physical disability as well
as nerves." declaring that women's
nerves are much more likely to give
way than mems.
II think there are no women in this
country capable Of passing the air
ministry's test. If one does succeed,
however, she will be permitted to fly
her own private machine, but whether
she will be allowed to take a friend
with her is a point that remains to be

SOLDIERS IN

ALLHOMESICK
THE GENERAL, THE COLONEL

BY PEGGY HULL

Inconsistencies is an epidemic among
the American soldiers in Siberia.
The general is homesick. The col
onel, and other officers, are homesick
So is everybody else in the American
Expeditionary Force.
We're all homesick. We'd be so glad
to see a clean American city again that
we could eat off its streets and not
feel half so squeamish as we do when
we sit at a table in a cafe in Vladi-
vostok.
There's no pleasure anywhere in life
in Vladivostok. Not even in walking
along the main thoroughfares, no mat
ter how bright and sunny the day.
One is jostled and bumped and ell
bowed by warfaring bundles of rags,
whose stencil, even in passing is sick
ening and depressing. White men and
women cannot remain idle in such sur
roundings for any lengthy period with
out losing their mental poise.
Three fourths of the population are
Chinese, Manchurians, Koreans and
Mongolians. Over fifty per cent haV|

many drag themselves along the streets

Deen 10 cities WITH health
and sanitary regulations find it in
creasingly difficult to live under these
conditions. The cafes are dirty. The
food is served by dirty walters and it
is prepared, no doubt, by dirtier cooks.
The inhabitants are so used TO CRIME
that they are Indifferent to it now.
Only through a powerful combina-
ton of the allies, Russian civic con-
troll, the American Red Cross and I'M
limited authority could Vladivostok be
cleaned up and made fit for civilized
folks to live in.
Americans have the feeling that they
have been dumped on a garbage heap
and left to exist as best they can.
Think of it" exclaimed a white
haired American colonel. early In May,

country is full of sweet smells and"

of Siberia with impunity.
The morale of the Americans, Canad-
ians, English, Italians, French and
Czecho- Slovaks began to wane during
the, spring. Everybody felt the same
as the American soldier who rushed
out of his barracks the first warm
morning, threw his hat in the air and
shouted:
"Heigh- no! Spring has came! Bring
out your gas masks!"

ABOUT PROSPECTS
BREAD AND BUTTER

Shouts and cheers of admiring
throngs don't bring bread and butter
to returned soldiers, according to E.
p. Wilson. doughboy with the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces, who charg-
ed Pensacola with failing to give the
uniformed men square deal.
Wilson appeared at the office of
the u. s. employment service .yester-
day afternoon and denounced one of
the city's industrial plants in no un-
certain terms. It's a case of Tommy
this and Tommy that and Tommy
walk behind, but it's thank you Mr..
Atkins when there's trouble in the
wind Wilson complained.
Wounds and gas attacks in the fur
ious battles of the war have not helped
this soldier one whit in his search for
a living, he says. For three days, the
infantryman claims, he has stood in
line to ask for a job. but never yet
has his plea even been heard.
That returned soldiers are too often
beingg iven the cold shoulder in Pen
sacola, is the belief of w. V. McNeir,
examiner in charge of the employ
ment bureau here, which is particu-
larly concerned with the placing of
service men in peace time occupa-
tions. In many cases where they
should be given a preference, they are
not even considered, he stated yester-
day. This does not mean, he added,
that there are not many employers
who are ready and willing to give sol
diers. sailors and marines a helping
hand.
'Ry all means let's tote fair with
the service men" is the plea that Mr.
McNeir makes to local business houses
and prospective employers. Service
men should be given the preference
he thinks, if sacrifices made for the
good of the nation are to be recog-
nized in the spirit in which they We're
given.
