that he might pass through the city where Karma lived, and look upon her. But Karma saw the child and loved it; saw the man and adored the humilia- tion and sacrifice of him; and volun- tarily made the child her own and Laf- cadio happy man. Happy, did I say? As happy as Hearn could ever possibly be, for he was not g. happy man at any time.
 "oKEWOOD OF THE SECRET SERVICE" Once in a while a detec- tive-story, melodrama sort of book bobs up in the world that is head and shoulders above the rest of it's kind. Such is "Okewood of the Secret Ser vice" and it's author is Valentine Will jams, whose recent Man with the Club Foot" was one of the best and most appealing mystery crime stories that America has read in years.
 "Okewood of the Secret Service" is a war book. Far greater war books have been and will be written. This book is not great at all, but it is interesting, and that is saying a good deal. It is a story of German espionage in Eng land during the world war, and how 1t was fought. The book takes its title from the name of the hero, Desmond Okewood.
 ONewood. an artillery major at the front, is called back to London and as- signed to aid the British secret ser vice in lieu of his brother, a regular in telligence officer, on duty in the east His task is to find and catch, if nossi- 1 ble, the leaders in new spy organiZa- tion that has begun to cause concern | The murder of an old actor named Mackwayte, whose daughter, Barbara is secretary to the chief of the secret 1 service, is a factor in the case Okewood is cleverly disguised as | Bellward, one of the spy ring members l who has been secretly arrested, and sent to find the other members of the ring. Okewood is listed in the casual. | ties as killed in action, and to all in. 1 tents becomes Bellward.
 His adventures are thrilling, as is tC i be expected. But they are told in sucl 1 a simple, direct fashion that they los, 1 all the element of the impossible tha l generally is felt by the reader of melo drama. Okewood finds the ring! members and that they are headed b, l Captain Strangewise, a British office ] of Okewood's own regiment, but in re ality an officer of the Prussian Guards l The plan is upset, however, when tn real Bellward appears and Okewood i wounded in a fight with the spies be fore help arrives.
 In the meantime, Barbara has beel kidnapped, virtually, because she l

 wife, Nur-el-din, has refused to return
 to the Germans and which Strange wise is seeking to recover for his mas

SOCIETY EXPLAINS FLAG ETIQUETTE.
USE OTHER PRACTICES
CONDEMNED; No FEDERAL Laws.
Minneapolis Tribune
From Minneapolis Tribune

Washington, Oct. Cessation Of war has.
not meant the flrling Of flags. Instead they
are in.constant evidences and questions Of the
proper manner Of their display constantly ari-
Sc, especially on parade days. I
..sWhile there is no federal law. pertaining
to the manner Of displaying the flag, there are
). many regulations and usages Of national force
bearing on the subject says bulletin from
the National Geographic society. The bulletin
quotes from communication to the society,
setting forth flag etiquette as follows:
In raising the flag it should never be rol-
led up and hoisted to the top Of the staff be-.
fore unfurlng Instead, the flag should be free
during the act Of hosting, which should be
done quickly Itshould be taken III slowly and
with dignity. It should not be allowed TO touch
the ground on shore, or the deck Of q ship, nor
should it be permitted to trail in the water or
in the dust It should not be hung where it can
be Contaminated or soiled easily, or draped o.
yer chairs or benches for seating purposes, and
no object or emblem Of any kind should be
placed upon it Or above It. ss <sss.=
81 common bit regrettab1e practice at
public meetings is to drape the flag like a ta-
blecloth over the speakers table and then to.
place on the flag pitcher OF ice water, flo
Eers books, ETC. Another equally cal eless prac
tice, and Unfortunately, quite common, is to to
tie small United States flags to the bottom OF
stage curtain; when the curtain is raised the.
!. flags are lifted aloft and are effectively dis
/ played, but when the curtain is lowered, so
that the stage scenes may be shifted, the flags
trail il the dust Of the stage floor - s..
The flag should not be festooned over
doolways or arches. Always let the flag hang
straight Do not tie it in q bow or knot Wh here
colors are desired for decorative purposes, use
red white, and blue bunting .s.=s# 81
8 Internatio usage forbids the display
=of the flag of one nation above that OF any
other with which it IS at peace. Such az act
!. is considered an insult ii times Of peace. hen

America has been taught an excel
lent lesson in thrift through the gov
eminent sale of war savings stamps.
Too frequently nowadays the fact tnat
pennies make dollars is lost sight o.
says Cleveland Plain-Dealer. An
nouneement by the United States
treasury that savings stamps Will con-
tinue a regular part of the govern
ments financing is welcome. Many
tinanciers smiled when news came
from New York soon after this coun-
try entered the war that Frank A.
vanderlip, then president of the Ma
tional City bank, Americas largest
financial institution, was going TO
Washington to devote his time to the
sale of 25-cent stamps to help win
the war. But the old adage that me
who laughs last laughs best" is quite
applicable to this campaign of saving
inaugurated to help defeat Germany.
With the news that the sale of stamps
is to continue come figures showing
that these penny savings stamps OF the
nation paid nearly one-thirtieth OF the
cost of the war up to June l. Thrift
STAMP sales totaled 1856, O23, 12l-no
triillne sum, for it nearly equals the
entire amount required for govern
,ncnt expenses in any normal year.

It is difficult even yet to reckon the
extent of the problem of re-educating
the disabled soldier, but from the ex-
perience thus far gained the federal
board for vocational education is con-
vinced that the American soldier is
more interested in the offered refrain
ing than any foreign soldier has been.
Perhaps this is due to the liberality of
the provisions made in our country.
Judging from the experience Of our
allies about per cent Of any given
group Of wounded men will be given
retraining. That would give 10000
men to be retrained out of the 100000
wounded, but the board estimates an
even larger percentage among Aneri-
can soldiers, as it anticipates that
there will be $1,000 or even 10000
men who will ask for re-education and
placement.

The more national divorce statistics
are studied the more puzZling they be-
come. The theory, for example, that
increasing divorce Is due to growing
desire for freedom on the part Of
women, and to their economic indie
pendence, remarks Portland Orego-
MAN, does not correspond with the
fact more and more women demand
and receive alimony, which Indicates
that freedom is not the only object
sought. In the 20-year period prior to
1906 alimony was sought in only 1872
per cent of cases and granted in only
90 per cent. In 1915 alimony was
sought in POP per cent Of cases and
granted in 1872 per cent. 1t is prac-
tically always the wife who gets the
alimony. The ease with which alimony
is obtained, however, varies greatly in
the states. It is granted in less than
l per cent Of cases in Pennsylvania
and in 81 per cent Of cases in Michi-
gan. Children figure in diminishing
proportion of cases, fact which is
also referred, for what it may be
worth, to those who like to moralize.

LAW OF THE LAND

IT is the law of the land that all We
l hicles travelling upon the roads OF
Delaware shall carry lights when on the
public highway at night, or even one
hour after sunset.
This law was enacted by the last Leg
islature and will be found in the volume
of laws lust printed. In this connection
we desire to call attention to the fea-
,nres Of this new law as to the penalties
for failure to perform the duties de-
scribed therein.
One of the conditions which every
person who travels after dark will do
it may
h.. If vital interest should an acciden'
happen, is that which provides that any
person driving after dark, or without
lights on any vehicle, on the public road :
of Delaware, shall have no standing in
court whstever should his carrin"a :" :
on or other vehicle which he may be
driving, be damaged, wrecked or destroy
ed by any other vehicle which is provided
~ Il us as law directs
~. Dis. nothing could be re-
coyerea by asuit at law under such con-
ditions, even though he may not have
been the one responsible for the wreck
0. loss.
T,s.v .alnly has in it, ard
in these days Of fast a;,d wreckless driv-
ing, no persoA can afford to take the
: chances which the law sets up.
When it Deco a., generally known,
there are few people in every com
munity who il wrecklessness, or. devil
ishnes, would take delight in smashing
the vehicle without lights after dark,
and there would be no redress for the
victim. Therefore, for personal safety
the observation of the law should be

The War Mothers are doing patri-
otto thing in encouraging toymaking
as profession for returned wounded
soldiers. It is natural suggestion
from the sentiment aroused by the
shipment here of German-made toys
and the work Of the War Mothers will
probably arouse public opinion to ap-
proval of the development Of this In
dustry through the wounded men.
There is no reason why country OF
such resources as this should depend
on any foreign manufacturers for its
toys, and the wide field which the
war has opened in this matter to ma
tive industry and enterprise could be
occupied in no better way than by CIV
ing employment to the men who have
lost their own work through their
services on the field.
