After Dinner Trick S

A match is held against the wall, as
shown in the diagram, the match being
supported by the pressure of the right
forefnger. The problem is to remove
the pressure, and still have the match
remain in its horizontal position.
The diagram explains the secret Of
the trick. When every one has claimed
the feat to be impossible, light the head
with another match, and quickly blow
out the fame. The match will adhere
at right angles to the wall, after the
finger is removed. Do not try the
trick on polished woodwork, as it will
leave a mark. A cigar box, or some
other wooden object can be used in
stead Of the wall.

Mr.. Wilson'S Address.

II am very much moved by this won

approval" Mr. Wilson said. "and 1 have
been rejecting to-day that Armistice
Day has particular significance for
the United States. because the United
States has remained contented with the
armistice and has not moved forward to
peace.
1T is a very serious reflection that
the United States, the great originatlve
nation. should remain contented with
negation. Armistice is a negation; IL is
standstill of arms; IL is a cessation
OF fighting. and We are so bent on
cessation OF fighting that we are even
throwing our arms away.
1T Is a singular circumstance 70
which Mr. Morgenthau has in part ad.
verted that while we prescribed the
conditions Of the arnstice we will moi
concur In the establishment of perma-

partisan motives to the honor OF their
country and the peace OF the world

Where their slipping will end God only

is mere negatlon; It Is refraining from
force. But peace Is n very positive
and constructive thing as the world
stands nowadays because II must be
brought about by the systematic main
tenance OF common understanding and
by cooperatlon--not BY amlable phra ses,
but the active cooperation for justice.
and justice Is greater thing than
