The Worlds Temperature

During the fall both land and wa
ter are gradually losing their heat, and
they continue to do so during Janu-
ary and February, which, therefore,
average colder than December during
a normal winter. The earth does not
really commence to gain heat until
March, and the least heat is radiated
during January and February. In other
words. it takes the suns increasing
heat about two months to produce suf-

Set Your Own Goal.

It's better to attempt and fail than
have no failures to your credit. If
you're afraid Of the public estimate
you can play the little game with your
ideals. Set goal and rate yourself
on the percentage of success attained.
1t will spur you to greater effort and
the public will never know how far
short You often fall of attaining your

Explalnlna Word MYe.N

When anyone writes in an antique
style the word I'VE" is invariably used
instead Of 'the." This is wrong. In
the old Saxon alphabet there was one
letter that stood for TIL, and this let
ter doesn't look unlike our modern Y.
Our ancestors pronounced 1t "the" in
the same way as we do, only In spelling
It they ran the T and H into one let
fer. The Greeks Sso have a single
letter for "th," called theta, which
looks like an elongated 20" with a
dash acs oss the center.

GET AFTER WHAT YOU WANT

1t is no use just sitting down and
waiting for things to happen. Lie is
"round the corner" and you've got
to run after it, and run fast, too, with
your head up and your mind alert.
Wishes are all very well, but they
must not master you. You've get TO
master them. Long, yearn, desire, as
much as you like, it is a good eign,

Old Christmas Customs

1t is generally conceded that some
of our Christmas customs are survfvaIs
Of the earlier Roman Saturnalian fes-
tival. Holly, box ivy, laurel and bay
adorned the Roman houses at this
time. 1t is true, however. that the
Druids kept a winter festival, when
the priests sent sprlgs Of holly to each
rude Briton hut, partly as a peace
offering, partly as a reminder to dec
crate the home with it and thus ell

Training Program for Summer.


Last year many more applications
We're received for citizens training

for the War Department to approve.
owing to the lack of facilities for
training. There is undoubtedly a
growing appreciation throughout
the country of the benefits to be de-
rived in the summer camps by the
youngsters who prefer to give up
their vacation for two weeks train
ing in the citizen camps. The real
ization of the program for the ap-
preaching summer must depend upon
the iiberality of Congress in the mat
ter of appropriations for this purpose,
as anticipated in the estimates sub
mitted to the House appropriations
committee. 1t is also hoped to have
means to permit the training this
year of 5000 officers and $4,000 en-
listed men of the National Guard,
2O9 900 officers and 10000 men of the
reserve forces. 5000 Of the Reserve
Officers Training Corps personnel
ana 10000 civilians. Eventually.
when the country recognizes the ad-
vantage of the national volunteer
training of our youth, it is SO plan
ned to develop the training program
as to build up an auxiliary body of
possibly 100000 men, or suitable
number in keeping with increased

THE ARMY

One Of the outstanding feats OF
discipline and training incidental TO
the Army which occurred during the
early part of the Knickerbocker Thea
ter disaster was that performed py
Col. E. A. Kreger. U. s.. Army. for
merly acting judge advocate general
of the Army.
Called to the telephone and In
formed that his daughter and SON
in-law, Capt. and Mrs. ]. II. Hllis
were in the ruins, Kreger arrived
at the scene, and after assuring the
imprisoned that aid would soon ar
rive he assumed command OF the
scattered military units and estab-
lished the preliminary organization
! which, under his direction, brought
the rapidly gathering rescuers into a
| unified whole.
Kreger's first act was to communi-
cate with the various chiefs of the
Army and Navy, requesting the I'M
| mediate delivery Of lifting jacks
acetylene torches and other emer-
| gency supplies, which unquestion-
ably saved the lives of many unfortu.
one of the first to be reached. and
arriving upon the scene in his dinner
clothes. he gave Kreger fun author
ity to use every measure possible IN
order to expedite the rescue. Col
kreger was not Immediately present
when his daughter was released at
i2 am, but did see her as she was
placed in the ambulance. He re-
manned at the theater until the work
of rescue was we'll under way. and
after a hasty visit to his daughter 5
side returned to the scene of the dis
aster.
Modestly declaring that his action
was nothing more~than the duty OF
a soldier" Col. Kreger preferred not
to comment on the part he played In
leading the rescuers. The facts
however, were obtained by the writer
from Gen. Pershing and others on
the scene. Records in the War De-
partment show that Col. Kreger was
decorated for bravery while lieu
tenant in the seth u. S. volunteer
infantry during the Philippine insur-
! rection, and while acting judge ad.
vocate general in France during the
world war he was awarded the dis
ftinguished service medal.

only one train day each way to

is to the effect that Benn1ng is
