SEE BEGINNING OF NEW ERA
People Of HeIeoIand Will Welcome
Return Of Visitors to the Unfor-
tunate Little Island.

The change which dug a huge fort
ress a hundred feet deep in the cliffs
covered them with gun emplacements
and girdled them with a labyrinth of
walls fifty feet thick was more than
doubtful blessing, and Helgoland must
have found her transformation into
the most notorious and sinister speck
Of land in the world a severe strain on
her zeal for the fatherland.
When the war actually came her
fishermen were eXiles; for they were
one and all shipped off to the main
land and the island was given over to
the gulls and the gunner. 1t is now
thrown open again, and a beginning
has been made with the diSmantling
Of Its mighty forts. The inhabitants
will cheerfully see the last of the
guns and apparently they would like.
TOO, to be quit of German taxation !;
but they hope quite reasonably, that
the islands final disappearance may
be at least delayed by leaving the
great seawalls the Germans built.

Safer.

At an Indiana high school the other
day the athletic society was putting
season tickets for ball games on sale.
One of the most popular boys in the
senior class came up to the desk at
which the tickets were being sold,
bought two. had his name inserted in
the blank on one of the tickets and
then reached for the tickets.
but you haven't told us whose
name to write on the other ticket"
protested the ticket seller, land the
rules of the association require that
all ticket purchasers have their names

Now, the senior had planned to pass

several girls. well" he drawled, IF
you have to write something in that

CAUSES OF BROKEN ROMANCE
Reasons Why Loves Young Dream

Engagement breaking is in season.
"The marriage arranged between
| Captain y and Miss Y will not now
take place" That cold print end to
romance can be read any day now in
the society columns of the papers. i
is becoming a habit.
Experts who study these matters
declare that the percentage Of broken
engagements has never been so high,
and they set down several reasons,
says the London Daily Express. The
main one is:
The great khaki illusion. (a) The
woman: You would not believe how
different he looked in his civilian suit,

The man: "She was awfully charm
! ing as a driver in the Women's legion,
but when | saw her in one of the new
evening gowns-well, it just couldn't
| happen"
The house famine is given as an
other cause. Two young people who
| believe themselves to be twin souls
go out and try to find a future home

persons temper to stand the strain
of present-day house-hunting. They

Cleaning Rusted Tools

Elbow grease is usually the best
thing TO use when cleaning rust from
steel, but the following manner has
also been suggested: Fasten the steel
tightly to piece of zinc by means of
wire and place it in jar containing
water to which sulphuric acid has
been added. Leave it there until the
rust has disappeared. If the article
is very rusty add little more acid
from time to time. The process by
which the rust is removed is electrical.
The steel being in contact with the
zinc short-circuited battery cells are
formed, and the rust is reduced to iron
again by electro-chemical action. The
steel will become darkened by the
process, but will regain its brightness
if rubbed with sweet oil or a mixture
of petrolatum and kerosene.

MASTER OF ART OF WooING
Missourian Gives Out Some Pointers
That May or May Not Be Of
Value to Others.

There are experts in all lines. but
snail not man who can persuade
eight women to marry him rank as an
authority on matrimOny? According
TO the MisSourian who is locked up in
the TOmbs as a confessed higamist, the
way TO womans heart is through her
higher emotions. ~ appealed to the
best in women always" he says. land
never to their lower natures"
Women also, this artist in love dis
covered, like to be swept off their
feet by those who WOO them; they
have no patience" with the dawdler.
Nor did he find that it was essential
Tor the wooer to be handsome or more
than neatly dressed. But these, of
course, are old precepts in the manual
of courtship, Ugly men have often
been great rakes, and ardor is tradl-
tionally effective in sweeping the re-
luctant fair loft their feet" His main
contribution to the art of love, and il
is one worthy of Ovid, is that of the
potency of an appeal to the higher ma
ture of women.
But is "the best" in women fixed
quality, or does it vary and require
to be diagnosed in the individual?
That is no doubt difficulty that will
confront ordinary wooers Is the high
er feminine nature compatible with
matinee tickets and tea dances, or does
it incline seriously only to more ele-
waited interests? The recipe apparent
