MauritiuS.

Mauritius, the home Of the dodo, IS
IN the political limelight, or so IT
would appear from the announcement
that the Bordeaux chamber OF COM
merce has requested the French gov
ernment to enter into parleyings with
Britain with a view to restoring for-
mer French supremacy. Since the
dodo is extinct, it will be more accu-
rate to speak Of Mauritius as once
the home Of that now almost fabulous
creature. Mauritius was once known
as Cerne, a name which it is said to
have derived from cienas-the dodo,
or, more unromantically, the ground
pigeon. Portuguese, French, Dutch,
and British have all been connected
with the history Of Mauritius. 1t was
discovered by the Portuguese. 1t was
French for 100 years and then British.
It became British in 1914 but during
the French Revolution it had served
as refuge for many emigres to whom
the Emerald isle Of the Indian ocean
was known as the, scene of Bernad1n
de St. Pierre's paul ct Virginie." In
size it equals about the eighteenth part
Of the area of England and Wales.

WINGS FOR MRS. VANDERBILT
Soldier Admired Spirit Of His Enter
tainer, but Couldn't Quite
Credit the Rest.

Mrs. W.K. Vanderbilt tells this story
on herself:
Ske was doing canteen work IN
France during the recent misunder-
standing in that vicinity, and devoted
considerable time to entertaining
American soldiers in one Of the hostess
houses. Being an excellent dancer
and attractive, she was in much de-
mand among the boys. One evening
she danced several times with tall
tow-haired doughboy who showed
symptoms of great loneliness and
talked volubly about things In Michi-
gan.
When the evening was ended, the
tow-haired one came over to Mrs.
Vanderbilt.
'Tve had q bully time" he said,
sand want to keep track of you.
We're moving out Of here tomorrow,
for the front. But If we get back, I'd
like to look you UP over in the States
MY name is Albert Bridgeman, from
Grand Rapids. What's yours?"
I'm Mrs. w. z. Vanderbilt" she re-
piled.
The doughboy scanned her from
head to foot.
ssThat's right, chicken" he said,

WAR TAUGHT HIM SOMETHING
Returned Doughboy Convinced, Among
Other Things, That There Is Little
Gained in Kicking.

"There are thousands Of returned
soldiers to whom the war was splr-
itual university" says Maude Rad
ford Warren, in Everybody's. "They
have won an understanding and
tolerance beyond their years. The best
example 1 know is my friend Sidney,
aged twenty-five, and endowed through
the hard means of shot and shell with
a maturity beyond his years.
".At home,' Sid said, 4 used to kick
If things didn't 60 right. Well, sitting
around in the mud over here l nave
begun to think lot about some OF
the older people I know. They take
things just as they come, l notice;
don't kick much. Life seems to teach
them that. Well, the war strikes me
as Just a lot of concentrated life. It's
been that to me, anyhow. If ever
kick, it's sort Of from force OF habit.
I honestly don't want to very much.
let the bad luck go with grin, and
If not, with set teeth, and I,try not
to count it at all. The good luck
count as clear velvet. 1t may not
be logical way of looking at life' but
it's a practical way. Sitting here IN
the mud and getting old myself, l fig
ure that is about the way the nice
middle-aged people I know at home
look at things. Being good sport Is
about as good a thing as anyone can
contribute to the world"

Was Variety the Spice Of Her Life?

1t is commonly thought that very
long series of names is reserved for
kings and the sons and daughters OF
kings. We have frequently exclaimed
over the seven names with which King
Georges eldest son is afflicted, or the
former crown prince, for that matter.
But probably the longest name in the
world is attached to a mere laundry
mans daughter. She was born in 1883,
and her parents, surely from sense
of the ludicrous, gave her name for
every letter in the alphabet, to-wit:
Anna Bertha Cecilia Diana Emily
Fanny Gertrude Hypatia 1nez Jane
Katherine Louisa Maud Nora Ophelia
Patience Ounce Rebecca Sarah Ter
esa Ulysses Venus Winifred Xenophon

fly?-Boston Post.

ONE OF WARS MASTER MINDS
Britain Owes Deep Debt Of Gratitude
to Patrick Quinan, Of Whcm
Little Is Known.

One of the most vital and at the
same time mysterious figures in the
war on the British side was Patrick
Quinan, an American of Irish descent.
Vitsl because he planned all the great
munition works which enabled Great
Britain to supply not only her own
but her allies needs in munitions; /;
mysterious because his name was
never allowed to be mentioned during
the war and because he would never
be interviewed.
Mr.. Quinan reached England by way
of South Africa. Trained at du Points,
he went to the South African Explo-
sives company at Cape Town, then the
largest in the British empire, owing to
the demand for explosives for mining
purposes. The vast factories laid out
in England during the war-noW some
what of white elephant, as their
conversion to peace purposes is still
unsettled-were all designed by Mr.
Quinan.
Quinan is Just over 4c years of age
and since the close of the war has dis
appeared. His name was never in any
sthonor list''-which is rather a dis
tinction these times. He was never
given any public recognition by any
member Of the government or the
army. Still no one man did as much
to help win the war as this retiring
Mr.. Quinan.

NEWSPAPERS DON'T TELL ALL
As q Matter Of Fact, World Must Not
n Judged by What One May
See In Print.

Through all civilized countries folks
spend a lot of their time just read
ing the papers. And it Is all right,
too. Everybody reads the papers.
But one must be careful to keep
ones equilibrium at the same time. We
must not make the mistake of sup
posing that there is nothing else going
on In the world except that which the
papers print.
The papers publish only the news
that is startling or sensational. Nat
urally, that's all they publish. What
ever is unusual, out of the ordinary,
something that astonishes one-these
things are what the papers print.
If you were to 60 into a newspa-
per Office with an item, say, about
man who had reared his family care
fully, sent them to school and had
paid the mortgage off his home, the
editor wouldn't put that piece in the
paper because there is nothing unusual
about it.
But il the item were about a man
who refused to work to support his
family, and who beat his wife over the
head with club, and who chased them
all out in the middle of the
night in the rain, then the editor would
say it was news"
So, you see, it is mostly the trou-
bles of the world, It's seamy side, It's
crime and suffering and squalor that
get into the papers.
Yet, there is the Worlds other side,
thank God-its bright side, its love
and gladness and charity and the help
that one man gives another.
Read the papers, Of course. But,
when you read them do not get the
idea into your head that the world Is
plunging headlong to perdition, be-
cause such is not the case.-Utica
Globe.

The EIYino Era.

Mail-carrying airplanes are already
an old story, writes A. Russell BOND,
in seInventions of the Great War;" In
Europe the big bombing machines are
being used for passenger service be-
tween cities. There is an air line
between Paris and London. The air
planes carry from a dozen to as many
as so passengers on single trip. In
some cities here, as well as abroad
the police are being trained to fly, 50
that they can police the heavens when
the public takes to wings. Evidently
the flying era is here.

Machine Does Work Quickly.

A piece of drudgery that has been
assigned to machine labor is applying
stucco. A new electric machine, with
blades making 1,500 revolutions per
minute puts on the material, and the
operator and an assistant feeding the
hopper cover the space rapidly and ef'
ficiently. The plastic substance is pro
jected with such force that a thin film
of moisture is squeezed out behind it,
causing a waterproof protective coat OF
enamel to form upon the surface.

Another project that is now being

length which will afford the tourist
an excellent view of the city. This
highway will extend from the mesa
around Mount Franklin and will drop
down TO Highland park on the east
side In connection with the highway
a park. hotel and artificial lake will
probably be built.
Many reasons may be assigned per
heps for the awakening of Ell Paso
citizens in the building Of stores and
homes and for the inaugural ton OF
these numerous civic improvements.
Probably the most potent reason is
that the people after two years of sac
