America Determining Factor.

America proved a staunch and
tried friend in the war She came
because she didn't realize what was
at stake. But in the darkest hour
she came and arrayed herself on
our side-and was the determining
factor of our victory.
Since the war we have drifted
apart again. I don't know the

BELL MADE TOO MUCH NOISE
Invention of the Telephone Evidently

Quiet Affair.

The landlady couldn't stand 1t any
longer, and the dodgers threatened to
leave unless the racket stopped.
Alexander Graham Bell was the
cause Of the trouble. He had rugged

duplicate in the room Of his accom-.
plice, Thomas A. Watson. A wire went
out Of the window and connected the
two machines.
These two machines, according to
young Bell, were first models Of q
revolutionary invention, the telephone

landlady, ''but if you two boys don't
stop yelling your heads off, into those
boxes, you'll have to pack your trunks

This episode Of the angry landladv
happened years ago in G cheap lodging
house In Boston.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
vany offered Bell 100000 for all his
patents. Bell, with vision, realized
that he had a fortune within grasp
and rejected the offer. He and Wat

FEAR EPIDEMIC OF TYPHUs
erltIsh Authority Tells Of Danger to
the World Because of Bad condl-
tlons In Russia.

DR.. L. Haden Guest of London, who
has been investigating conditions in
Russia. reports to the Lancet Ion-
dom that the whole of that country
has been swept by typhus and relaps-
ng fever, and that all indications point
Enthusiastically to a formidable epideln-
tc In the coming winter. Cholera also
has made Its appearance and small
po1 is widely prevalent.
The Lancet warns the world at
large that unless immediate and eff
fective steps be taken these frigbtful
diseases will spread through the por-
der states 10 other countries, and be-
fore long will appear all over tie
world. The council of the League Of
Nations has thoroughly studied the
situation, with the aid of some of the
best-known psychologists in the
world; they have a reasonable and
economical program, and have appoint
ed commissioners, but the actual
work cannot proceed until they have
obtained money guarantees from the
different nations, which so far have
not materlalized. except in the case
of few countries, including Great
Britain and Canada. The future of
the matter may well prove, in the par
lance Of the day, an acid test Of the
reality of the league as family of
nations, ready to act for the common
good and to protect members of the
fa:niIy who are threatened by disaster"

KNEW WHEN THEY HAD BITE
Their Tails AZ Fishlines to
Catch Crabs.

Captain Moncton in his "Experi.
ences Of New Guinea Resident Mag
istrate,' relates the following Incl
dent: Having landed on an utterly
barren island formed of coral rock
and destitute OF all vegetation, he
found it to be the home OF an enor-
nous number of rats. There was no
trace Of other animal life, and it was
Impossible to imagine how, except by
continual preying upon one another, 1t
was possible for these rats to subsist.
while seated at the waters edge,
turning over the problem In his mind,
he noticed some Of the rats going
down to the edge Of the reef-lank,
hungry-looking creatures they were,
with pink, naked tails. He stopped
on the point of throwing Jumps of
coral at them, out Of curiosity to see
what they meant to do. His curiosity
was soon gratifed. Rat after rat
picked a f1attish place and, squatting
on the edge, dangled it's tail in the
water
Presently one rat gave a violent
leap of yard, landing we'll clear of
the water, and with crab clinging to
its tail. Turning around, the rat
grabbed the crab and devoured 1t, and
then returned to the stone. Other
rats We're seen repeating the perform.

REMAINS IN HER MEMORY

to stay for supper, and my GRANDPA.

An along the way, he used to point
out our two shadows on the pavement.
as we passed the street lights one oy
one.
We watched the way the shadows
were very short directly below the
lamp. and how they heightened until
they were just our height-his more
than twice as tall as mine-and how
they finally grew so long that their
tops were almost out of sight. The
object was to find the point where
the shadows were exactly as tall as
ourselves. When we came to the
darkest part of the street, whore our
shadows were lost in the hedges, we
used to stop and find the North star
over a pointed tree near my own
home.
That was always the way we made
tne Journey from mis- nome to mine,
,until he thought that I was too old
to care to have him show me stars
and shadows any more. But for me,
as long as I live, the North star will
shine over that particular tree. And
I shall always keep the memory Of
that funny little shadow that useS
to be mine, clear cut with the light
behind it-and beside it, hand in hand
with it, that dear characteristic shad-
ow that never falls on any road in

HOTEL MEN NOT ALL BAD
Wayne 3. Wheeler Tells Good Story
to Prove the Truth OF Asser-
ton He Makes.

Wayne B. Wheeler Of the Anti-S&
loon league said in San Francisco:
81 think we're unjust to hotel men
as rule We are too ready to ac-
cuse them Of robbery. AS matter
of fact, they are very fine lot.
Il once knew an engineer who was
travelling in Nevada. He had a good
deal of money with him, and one night
ne put up at very primitive hotel
In the wilds. The landlord of this
hotel looked like brigand, and the
engineer could hardly sleep for fear.
Nothing, however, happened, and
the next morning he set off with re
lieved heart. The mountain trail was
q lonely one, and on toward noon, IL
Wild and desolate spot, three des-
peradoes fell on him. emptied his va
Iise and pockets, and made off.
THE engineer was convinced that
the landlord was at the bottom of this
holdup. Accordingly he turned back
to notify the authorities. But he had
only gone mile or so when he met
a mounted messenger, who handed him
a small packet. Pinned to the packet
was a note from the villainous land
lord that said:
az inclose your pocketbook Contain
Ing $3.50. which you left under your
pillow last night. Please send re-
ceipt by bearer"

HUBBY At THE cooKsToVE
Some Excellent Reasons Advanced
Why Head Of the House Should
Know How to Prepare Food.

Cooking has been added to the cur
riculum of male students at Pennsyl-
vania State college. Cooking Is some
thing that all men should know some
thing about.
Some men should know all about It.
Particularly should married men
have the necessary knowledge so that
in the pinch they can escallop a pan
Of potatoes Or stir up a mess Of fluffy
biscuits.
There Is no telling when the good
wife may be absent from home at meal
time.
AS time goes on the legitimate rea-
sons for this are growing.
And what is more pleasing to the av-
erage wife than to return from the
bridge party or the polling place, a
trifie late, perhaps, and worried for
fear that she'll not be able to have
dinner on the dot-what is more pleas
ing than to be greeted at the door by
the man Of the house, all uniformed
up in long overall apron, a dab Of
flour on his beaming countenance, STIR
ring for dear life at bowl Of embryo
drop biscuits?
And the teakettle steamlng its heart

And the smell of burning beefsteak

ALL WELCOME IN LUXEMBOURG
Little State Cosmopolitan In the Ex,
treme, but Second to None In
Patriotic Spirit.

We live at the crossroads of the
nations, remarks the Luxembourg lei
tung. We are Of all the peoples Of
the world those most cosmopolitan in
spirit. On July-14 there was a French
evening on the parade grounds, and
everyone was enthusiastic for France.
On July 20 we had Belgian evening
In the same place and again EVERYONE
was inspired with enthusiasm. Should
there be an American, Italian, Czecho-
Slovac or Polish evening any pleasant
summer night, the throng would greet
It with the same enthusiasm. We like
70 have people Of other nations as
our guests. We wish them to feel at
home In our midst.
A stranger who does not know US
and many who have lived among ia
fail to know us-hight fancy that we
lack national sentiment.
But precisely the reverse is true.
Our national sentiment Is so deep
that we are like a tree whose trunk
stands mistaken when its crown Ia
rustled by the wind Of sympathy for
other countries.
Last Wednesday, after our French
and Belgian evenings we had a Luxen-
burg evening. The parade ground was
too small and the armament was too
low to contain the enthusiasm of the
multitude. We were at home among
ourselves. The leader had provided
. program of old, modern, and very
recent Luxembourg music. During the
choruses the thousands surrounding
the platform stood as reverently as
II they were in church. When ap-
plause was called for 1t was so thun-
derous as to be almost intimidating.
The depth and sincerity of a ma
lions patriotism Is not measured by
the area of its territory.

RECORDS HUMIDITY IN AIR

Shown by Twin Thermometer
Likely to Become Popular.

Sensations of heat or cold, as ex.
perienced by q normally healthy per-
son. are caused almost entirely. by
the condition of the surrounding
atmosphere. If 1t is still, damp, and
about 75 degrees or more in temper
allure. a feeling of disagreeable heat
and oppression results; while II OF
the same temperature, but dry and in
moderate motion, no discomfort is
felt. The reasons for this are that
dry. moving air takes away bodily
heat about as rapidly as it is gen.
Grated. while damp. still air does not,
explains writer in Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
Therefore in designing an instru-
ment to determine whether atmos-
pheric conditions are conducive TO
bodily comfort, other factors than
temperature must be taken into
account. For this reason the ordinary
drv-bulb thermometer Is unreliable
and has been supplemented by another
instrument of the so-called wet-oulp
tyne. in which the bulb is inclosed IN

Australian Cattle Stations.

Afghan camels are practically the
only means Of transport in Central
Australia. The North South railway
runs at present from Port Augusta,
near, Adelaide, to Oodnadatta, but be-
yond Oodnadatta the sandy nature of
parts of the country makes it impos-
sible to use motors or wagons. Central
Australia is by no means a desert; 1t
is a land of wonderful possibilities for
raising horses and cattle. In many
parts the vegetation is luxurious but
the country is so thinly populated that
enormous areas are owned by few
people. One man owns 1900 square
miles-more than half the area OF
Wales. When central Australia ia
opened up and irrigated it may well
become one of the most prosperous
parts of Australia.
