NOT "TRENCH" OF BAYONETS
True Story of Famous Incident at
Verdun, Which French Bravery
Has Made Immortal.

The scaffolding has now been taken
down from the monument over the ia
nous Trench of the Bayonets" at
Verdun which. President Millerand has
inaugurated. But the term trench
is a misnomer. The true story is
this:
Fifty-seven survivors of two Breton
battallons were holding the line there,
not in trench, but in a series Of
shellholes, nearly regularly spaced and
aligned. The men were so packed that
when any were wounded they were un-
able to fall down, while for security
they teld their rifles, with fixed bay
onets, in the air.
During the whole Of June II, II and
13, 1916, terrible artillery duel ragged
round them. Caught between the
French and German barage fires, one
by one the men died, while the burst
Ing shells buried them under waves of
torn-up ground. When the scene could
be visited all that remained was
line of baycnets protruding from the
ground.-COntinental Edition of the

Morse Code Saves Man.

Philadelphia,-After he had been

metically sealed concrete and steel
vault in the city treasurer's office, a
knowledge of the Morse telegraph code
probably saved the life of Arthur Bren-
ner, assistant, city treasurer. 4.
A mouse, also locked in, failed to
survive.
Bremen entered the vault, room
fifteen feet square and twenty feet
high, five minutes before closing time,
hunting for warrant. While he was
there the big steel doors swung shut.
He shouted for help without attract
ing notice.
The lights went out automatically
as the doors. shut. Brenner was on a
balcony in the rear. He felt his way
down, pulled open every drawer and
piled the books on the floor to get the
maximum amount of air, and then
slept for while, with his face as near
the bottom Of the door as possible.
When he awoke his hand came in
contact with a wooden slat, and re-
membering that Charles Hockwald, q
night watchman, also could telegraph,
he pounded out in Morse, II am locked

"Will get help" came the answer
from Hockwald, who Immediately tele-

He touched her nose, and then instead
of running home he swung back and
forth in front of her face hanging to
his thread.
Puss is very quick with her paw.
She seldom misses anything she
wishes to strike. She opened her
eyes and looked at Brown Spider a
second and then she lifted .her paw
and struck.
The next thing Brown Spider re-
membered he was on the top of a
high old bureau.
He tried all Of his legs and found
they were safe and then he said, for
he knew every spider in the attic was
looking at him. "That is the finest
way to travel, when you are in a
hurry. 1 wanted to get up here and
so just dangled In front of Puss to
get her to give me lift"
No one said a word. They were
too much surprised; but Brown Spider
climbed over the edge of the bureau
and made his web this time far above
the floor by the window. He really
had been frightened. "But I won't
let those old fellows know It," he said.

HAIR DRESSER'S TIPS

@ OMETIMES my hair dresser grows
- talkative, and then she tells me
all sorts Of interesting and useful
things about the hair, things based
on her wide and personal experience,
things too valuable to be lost in the
tiny room where she Yields a brush
and vibrator and where she juggles
tall bottles of sweet smelling oils.
"The average woman Is too harsh
with her hair" she said the other
day. "Either she brushes 1t furi-
Ously, or she doesn't brush 1t at all;
either she sticks over 1t when wash
ing, or she washes the life from it."
"Not all scalps can stand tar soap,
though it is a good soap. But 1t
is harsh. 1 use coconut Oil, be-
cause it Is mild and cleansing and

sensitive scalp. 1 use 1t for all co'ors

BOLD BROWN SPIDER

w HEN Brown Spider first began

conceited that everyone said in Spider
Town that he would come to grief at

He spun webs in the most danger

sure to escape unharmed and begin
another home in a more dangerous
place.
"You will be killed some day."
warned all the neighborhood spiders,
for there were many spiders living in
the attic where Brown Spider lived,
but he only laughed at their warning
and kept on with his reckless doings.
One day Puss came to the attic
hunting for mice, and when she ran
under chair where Brown Spider
sat In his web near the floor she took
the web and Brown Spider, too, away
on her back.
Everyone eAought that was the end
of him, but by and by he came rum
ming across the attic floor and began a
new web under a low shelf by the
window.
II guess you were scared that
time" said one spider from her safe
home high in a corner.

Brown Spider. 81 just wanted

More Widows Than Widowers.

According to the United States cen
sus of 1920, there are In this country
at this time 3,170,0O0 widows and only
1,471 800 widowers. This indicates
that the chances are, on the average
two to one that man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition of affairs is that the
wife is generally several years young
er than the husband, and then, too,
at the ages above fifty the mortality
rate for men is much higher than for
women.-Bankers' Life Bulletin.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"oFF Of"

OFF OF."
TINE use Of the phrase which heads
i this article leads often to errors
that are seen to be ludicrous, when
analyzed. For example, one will hear
the question: "Where did you buy
that steak?" The answer comes: 81
got it off of the butcher around the
corner" To get steak "off Of the
butcher might suit cannibal very well,
but the very idea would shock any
one else. In proper usage, omit the
"off;" say: 81 got it of Cor from) the
butcher around the corner"
There are cases Of the misuse OF
the phrase "off of" that are not lu
dicrous, as in the instance already
cited, but In which the "of" is moi
needed and instead of saying, "He
jumped Off of the car" say, "He
jumped Off the car" A man who ex-
poets to open store says: "Will you
buy something off of me?" He should
say: "Will you buy something from
