Arabs Bow to Airplanes.

Some of the most modern kinds OF
warfare have been used in regions
where modern civilization had hardly
penetrated before 1t is an interest
ing fact that the Arab, who had re.
manned unconQuercd while all the
great empires Of the world rose and
fell is at last succumbing before the
arpIane. He has never admitted al
legiance to anyone but Allah and him
self, and has threatened the lines of
communication OF all the empires
BabylOnian, Persian, Greek, Roman
and British. Even at the height Of
their power they could not overtake
his swift horses when lie returned to
The desert after a raid.
But even the Arab horse has no
chance against the airplane. British

Woman mCaIIedn Envsr Pasha

Enyer Pasha, the most autocratic
and arrogant of the committee of I'M
ion and progress, was Obliged 10 listen
to the protests of Turkish women
against the large number of casualties
ip the Dardanelles and Bagdad cam
paigns. He called together the be-
reaved mothers and reminded them
that their sons were among the faith
full in paradise, and that they should
be proud and pleased to be the moth
ers Of such brave patriots.
One poor mother, bent with age and
beyond caring for herself, dared TO cry
back to the man more feared by Turk
and Christian alike than anyone else in
the empire: "NIarShallah, effendi Alay
it please God, your cXccllency), that
your mother may soon have this same
pride and pleasure that we have.

Nickel Coins Again.

An innovation IN currency has been
made by the Indian government,
which has coined and issued nickel
S-anna and 4-anna pieces. Two-anna
and lama pieces have been in circu-
lation in India for many years, but
hitherto no nickel coins of a value
equal to the new issue have been in
use in any country-in fact, the g.
anna piece is credited with being the
highest-valued coin struck in base
metal in the world, its recent sterling
exchange value being l shilling ?
pence or % cents, at normal values.
The Indian government was influenced
in its decision to issue the new coins
by the high price Of silver, and it is
probable that one result of the inno-
vatjon, will be to cause the Sauna sill
yer coins to disappear.-Brooklyn

The Modern "Washlady."

The waSh-woman problem is a diff
cult one these days, all housekeepers
will agree. But one Columbus family
has more to worry about than some OF
the rest. a,
Several days ago their wash was
late in coming back from the wash
lady" and when she finally did come
with the clothes, in answer to the
question as to why she was late, she
stated:
"Well, you see we have a new au-
tomobile and the weather has been
so nice that we have been taking mo-
tor trips every day."
Now the housewife is wondering
what will happen to her washing when
summer comes. 1t is of further inter
est. to explain that the poor woman
who is trying to have her washing
done owns no automobile.-Co

TWO Freak Checker Boards.

Probably the most extraordinary
checker board In the world was con-
structed at st. Leonards, in Sussex,
England, in 1891, says the Columbus
(O.) Dispatch. 1t was made Of solid
blocks of concrete three feet thick
and its surface covered an area % feet
square. The pieces were moved by
hooked iron rods, making the game
of value as physical as well as a men
tai exercise.
A checker board which was pre-
sented to Bismarck at the height of
his fame is said to have. been the
most costly thing Of its kind ever
made. The squares were made of
gold and silver inlaid upon an ebony
base. There were "a '"'men," II of
gold and II Of silver. In the center
of each gold piece was ruby. while
each of the silver pieces was adorned
with a diamond. The outfit was val
ued at the time at about $150,00G

Electricitv to ThaW Ground.

The electric ground-thawing device
used in Alaskan railroad building has
the form of hollow steel pile. This
has Il sharpened steel point at one end
and a solid steel driving head ut the
MNr, and the hollow body contains
a suitable resistance coil. The point
ed tube is driven like any pile into
the frozen ground to the required
depth. Connection is then made with
a power transmission line through a
portable transformer mounted on a
sledge and low-volt current of high
amperage is passed through the coil.
The heat soon thaws the surrounding
ground sufficiently for driving a wood
en- pile.

Heads of Church of England.

The highest Office in the Church Of
England is held by the archbishop of
Canterbury, officially known as pri-
mate of all England, in distinction
from the archbishop Of York, who is
simply primate of England. The juris-
diction of the latter extends over
the province or county of York, which
includes ten dioceses in that part of
England from the Humber to the Dee
and embraces the Isle Of Man as we'll.
The rest of England is under the
Jurisdiction of the archbishop of Can
terbury. That dignitary, however, as
primate Of all England, is supposed to
possess a certain authority over the
church in the whole country. He
takes precedence on all public occa-
sions, not only Of the archbishop of
York, but of all the nobility save the
immediate members of the royal fam
lily. He crowns the king, but the queen
is crowned by the archbishop of York.

Diversity Among Students.

The influence of. personal ability or
mental habit on such scientific work
as making astronomical drawings has
been the subject of interesting expert
ments by L. L. Macdonald at the Uni
versity of Glasgow. A drawing of
Mars by Artoniadi, a photograph Of
the moon, and another picture were
submitted to six students, who were
requested to make copies but were
given no suggestion as to what should
be visible or how it should be drawn.
The diversity of the drawings pro-
duced was surprising and curious. Each
student showed special skill in netting
some one feature-either canals, lakes,
or gradations of shading-and the stu
dent who best drew the canals saw
the smallest number of standings. The
distinguishing characteristics of each
individual &persisted remarkably
through all his drawings. 1t is con-
Guided that planetary astronomers
may be divided into three classes
distinguished by canal, spot ard shade
sensitiveness-and that their drawings
should be subject to corresponding cor.
rectionS.

.Utilizinu Wood Waste.

The utilization Of wood waste is
one way recommended to cut down
the high cost of living. Here are
some articles made from sawdust and
single waste which the New York
College of Forestry is exhibiting in
it's efforts to show how the waste OF
the sawmill can be utilized to cheap
en- the cost of living. "Silk' socks,
sausage castings, photograph records,
paper milk bottles and tanbark
shingles, The silk" looks like silk
and feels like silk, but is much cheap
er than silk. The sausage castings are
made by treating the wood with chem
icals that turn it into viscose, and
rolling this into thin films.

Why One. Wise Old Turk Decided That

When western civilization first began
to make its way into the Ottoman EN-

wisest Turks attributed the triumph:
of western invention to magic and di

 See, There's still another secret door, A third one," I exclaimed. What next?"

 We did not have to wait long. Two shadows darkened the opening of the door. and Bob put a warning finger on my wrist
 Slowly through the narrow door came the rather round body of Ham, ilton Certeis. He did not move swift ly as one who is fleeing from pur- suers. He leaned for support on the arm of that handsome rascal. Don Manuel.

 In spite of Don ManuePs strength, they moved slowly. Certeis limped painfully and a dark line marked his path from the door to the nearest couch.

 Bob, You really intended to do that? What an awful revengei So that was why you wanted to stay here?"
 Sure thingi And now, I cant tackle him!" Bob growled.

that idea it does not taEe long to draw it.
 The reason that there are no other political cartoonistS among women Is because women have not been suf- ficiently interested in politics, being prohibited from taking an active part.
 Reaches People
 Mrs. Allender has keen political sense and her cartoons have been a valuable asset in the suffrage fight. Her drawings have reached people. and have made them understand and grasp the situation much more easily than through the written word.
 During her earlier career she was interested in painting and she has studied in Philadelphia and abroad. She's a charter member of the Arts club of Washington and is very much interested in modern art.

MOTHER LOVE
By Edmund Vance Cooke

By Edmund Vance Cooke One day, when mother was away, She left lunch for me; The fresh laid cloth was white as frotf Upon a silver sea. A vase of flowers was at my place, And under every dish A note was laid whose words con
 veyed
 A tender mother wish. The air, although she was not there, Still seemed to hold her smile: A faint perfume was in the room, As though she passed the while. Today, they say she is away
 And never may come back. Yet shall I gloom her sunny room And pail my mind in black? Has she not left her words to me Or1 every table spread? Does not her love still rest above And bless my daily bread? The bloom of every flowers perfume Brings back her constant smile And on my brow. aye, even now, Her soft lips touch the while,
