Leak

By r. RAY BAKER
BY r. RAY BAKER

In his suit for Marian Benefits
heart and hand Matthew Earlwick had
several items on the credit sida Of the
ledger, but on the debit side was one
large one that ,cou- rerbalanced all the
others.
In so far as Marian was concerned,
the fact that Matthew had q genial.
radiant, unselfish personality, was suf-
ficient. His curly light brown hair
and his expressive blue eyes were also
acceptable, although merely incidental.
The high financial standing Of his fam
ly had nothing to do with 1t, as far as
[arian was concerned.
The high financial standing did have
considerable to do with it, according
10 Richard D. Benefits ideas. 1t was
he only item on the credit side that
lie considered. Of course 1t was not
richard D. Bennett that was going to
larry Matthew, but he was the girls

SLOUGH HAT OUT OF FAVOR
Picturesque Headgear No Longer
Worn by American Soldiers on
the Fighting Fronts.

The SLOUGH hat has for many years
been regarded in Europe as distinctive
ly American, although for as many
years 1t has been no more commonly
worn In the United States than In tn.
British isles, and over a considerable
part Of the continent. Nevertheless,
the typical American Is almost invari.
ably pictured in soft hat, and the soft
felts worn by the soldiers of the
American expeditionary forces to
France helped to sustain the tradition.
In the Civil war the soldiers Of the
North wore caps. Soft felts were
chosen for soldiers operating against
the Indians on the plains because they
were supposed to afford greater protec
ton than caps from the glare. They be-
came regulation head covering for
the army in the Spanish-American war,
and, because they matched the khaki
uniform, they have been in use ever
since. Now, however, General Per
shing is said to have decided that these
hats must be discarded in favor Of
brimless and peakless caps. and the
reason for the proposed change Is
characteristic Of the period that has
introduced into war so many innova-
tons. The rim Of the soft felt hat
throws a shadow on the periscope
used in the trenches so as to interfere
with sighting by the wearer; also,
when worn by tall men, the crown may

WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY
Remarkable Impetus Given to the
Mining and Refining OF the
Mineral In Japan.

The high-water mark in the devel.
opment Of zinc mining and refining In
Japan has been reached since the out
break Of the present war. Zinc was
first mined in a commercial way In
1897, but even as late at 1911 the out
put was still only about 10000 tons.
The refining Of the ores was not start
ed on a large scale until 1914. The
rising quotations Of the metal In all
markets gave the industry great i'm
petus In Japan. so that in 1916 1900
tons Of refined goods and in 1915 49,.
900 tons were produced. 1t Is est'
mated that the production In 1917 to-
tailed some $1,000 tons. 1t Is said
that the reflneries can produce as
high as 100000 tons a year, but as
this takes some $4,000 tons Of zinc
ore the problem before Japan II to
obtain 100000 tons Of ore in foreign
markets, as only $1,000 tons are mined
In Japan. In the past Japan has bought
ore from China, Australia and Russia.

The news Of Germany's surrender

and Monday morning. 1t was on a
Sunday morning that the world heard
Of Germanys declaration Of war
against Russia. Serbia's answer to
Austria's ultmatum came the previous
Sunday. It was on Sunday morning
that we got the news Of the firing of
the first gun Of our Civil war and 1t
was on Sunday that Lee surrendered
at Appomattox. Later on, the first
ddings Of the sinking Of Cervera's feet
at Santiago came ON Sunday morning.
