low throughout the war. 1t will have
to be a defensive war on our side, he
saws, because Of the vastly superior
force of the enemy. His words on
this point are:
"On our side the war should be de-
ferlsive: it has even been called war
of posts; we should on all occasions
avoid a general action, and never be
drawn into a necessity to put any
thing to risk. Persuaded that 1t
would be presumptuous to draw out
our young troops into open ground
against their superiors both in num-
Der and discipline, I have never
spared the spade and pickaXe. have
not found that, readiness to defend
even strong posts at all hazards which
is necessary to derive the greatest
benefit from them.
1--WE are now in a post acknowledged
by every man of Judgment to be I'M
tenable. A retreating army is encir-
cled with difficulties; declining an en-
gagement subjects general to re-
preach, and may throw discourage
ment over the minds of many: but,
when the fate Of America may be at
stake on the issue, we should protract
the war. If possible"
The removal of the stores to Har-
lem Heights has already begun, and
the sick and wounded are being es-
corted to Jersey towns remote from
the coast.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
The Rubber Ball.

Down in the dense fastness of the
Amazon abound insects so destruc-
tive to the life of the flora that but
Cor the kindly provisions of nature
the forests would long since have been
leveled by them. But through one
species of bug destroying another, or
by over provisions made by Mother
Nature, her children of the flora find
themselves pretty well protected. A
dangerous and deadly enemy to tree
life, however, is the wood-boring
beetle, which. as its name implies,
digs into the heart of the trunk and
robs the tree of it's life-giving sap.
And the natives of the jungle, when
they see a tree so injured, know that
it will flourish mo longer.
One day, a little over 500 years ago,
a Brazilian Indian noticed near his
hut a tree doomed by a large hole
that had been bored into its trunk.
Great was his surprise to find some
time later not only that the tree was
f1ourishing as before, but that the
sap, a milky juice, had coagulated and
formed solid gummy mass where
the opening had been. Cutting Off a
chunk. he found it malible and well
adapted to be used for many of the
games which the natives played.
Thus it was that Columbus, land
ing on the coast Of Brazil on his Sec
ond voyage to our hemisphere, found
the Indians playing ball on the shore.
Indeed. one of the discoveries Of the
expedition noted by Herrera was a
ball used by the Indians made from
the gum of a tree" which was lighter
and bounced better than the balls
known at the time.
The Indians soon found that the
white man was glad to trade trinkets
for biscuits" of the sap. And so
started the rubber industry.

CHAPTER IN.
Homecoming.

On the day that Jimmy left the
hospital Betty went with him. Off
cially the case was over, but Betty
was to see him home and deliver him
safely into the hands of the capable
woman who took charge of his apart
ment. The following day he was to
go to Atlantic City for couple OF
weeks of convalescence.
Jimmy had boosted of his returned
strength. but by the time they were
ensconced in a taxi he was very white
and tired.
Betty, with face full of concern,
slipped her slender fingers into his

into him from her own vital self. lie
smiled at her family. but was content
to lie back without taking much In
terest in anything. and when they
reached the apartment he sank into
a large chair practically exhausted.
He had often spoken to Betty about
his "diggings." as he call them, sand
in a rather derogatory way, so that she
was somewhat surprised at the rich
ness of the furnishings.
There were two rOOmS-a large Nv
ing room and smaller bedroom. The
living room had an alcove large
enough to be considered another room,
and out of this a door opened into
fairly good sized kitchenette. The
bathroom opened out Of the bedroom.
1t was typical mans apartment.
There were some good rugs spread
over the highly polished floor. a daV-
export of maroon velvet, with long
rich window (saperieS to match:
heavy mahogany table, several hand
some lamps and chairs and bulltln
bookcases with loaded panes. The
bedroom was furnished in walnut and
faced on the south, so that it was
flooded with sunshine. Point d-esprit
curtains with small daffOdil overhang-
ings made it bright and cheerful. The
apartment was really magnificent, and
Jimmy had always led her to believe

woman was delighted.

dislike. .

one of those queer little Shells"
mo" said Reddy, II never have.
Is there?"
"Come over here" replied Gray
wing, flying to the edge of little pool.
Reddy followed. 'Now," said Gray
wing, you look at some of those Bar
nacles on that rock under water.
Watch and see what happens"
Reddy did as he was told to do.
Presently, he discovered that the top
of one of those Barnacles was open.
While he was looking at it, what ap-
peared to be feathery little legs were
thrust out from it and began to move
about in the water. MY goodness!
exclaimed Reddy.
Craving chuckled. He was getting
lots of chuckles at Reddy's expense
these days. Nov you've learned
something, haven't you?" said he.
AZ certainly have" replied Reddy.
What are those funny legs waving
about in the water for?"
That's the way that fellow gets his
food" replied Graywing. THAT Bar
nacle lives on fsod which we cannot
see. and those waving legs there make
little currents of water which carry
the mod into the mouth of the Bar
nacle."
do you mean to say that the thing
inside that shell has a mouth2' de-
manded Reddy.
"Of course. Why not?" retorted
Graywing. chuckling again. why
shouldn't it have a mouth as well as
those feathery legs?"
well, what want to know is" said
Reddy. "how he got fastened to that
rock in the first place"
/. oh" replied Graywing. when he
was a very tiny fellow just out of the
egg. he didn't look anything like a
Rapnacle, and he swan around. But
by and by after some changes he de-
cided to settle down in life. So he
butted his head against that rock and
stuck there. Finally. he built up that
she'll around 1t, and there he's been
ever since, standing on his head.
When the water covers him he opens
IN and feeds. You will notice that
those Barnacles on the rocks that are
out of water are closed up tight. So.
there you are. A Barnacle stands on
his head and collects his food with
his feet"

Army Must Quit New York.

NEW YORK, September s, 1776.-In
one of the longest military reports he
has ever written, Gen. Washington
has frankly informed Congress today
that New York cannot be held In
definitely against the enemy, and that
nothing seems to remain but to de-
termine the time Of their taking pos
session"
The general reached his conclusion
several days ago. Yesterday he sum-
moned his general officers to a war
council to consider the abandonment
of the city. After a long discussion,
with many arguments for and against
a withdrawal, the decision was to re-
tain 5 900 men in the city to preserve
order and direct the removal of stores,
and to withdraw the remainder to
Harlem Heights and Kings Bridge.
This halfway measure was SomeWhat
of a compromise. Although Congress
has not sent definite instructions. the
understanding here is that it wishes
to hold the city. But all the practical
considerations led to a vote of the
generals in favor of this beginning OF
a withdrawal which, as the general
gays, must soon be completed.
Aside from his report on the i'm
mediate situation, the general laid
down a highly important statement OF
the strategy which he expects to fol-

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
SYMPATHETIC Sue.
BY MIMI.

She says she never seems TO near
much about the bright side of life.
She's a nice, happy. cheerful person
herself, she assures me. but all her
friends seem to be the gloomiest
people In the world.
That is, they relapse into gloom
and tears when they're with her, and
she seems to inspire every one with
the desire to confide the most sorrow
ful secrets.
Other girls laugh and chat happily
with the boys they know-Sue sees
them all giggling together.
Just the other day she had a strik-
ing example of the difference between
the way she's treated and the way
other girls are entertained.
Bob was talking to Esther and she
wanted to know how his job was 60
ing on. ooh, great" he told her
blithely. Got a funny crowd down
at the office, too" He proceeded TO
launch into a spirited account OF an
amusing incident that had taken place
only the other day.
But later Sue was talking to him
alone Glad your job is coming on
all right" she told him.
"Oh, gosh. Sue,'I wish it was. he
sighed disconsolately. Everything s
terrible.
But you just told Esther a few
minutes ago that it was great, she
exclaimed in some surprise.
yeah" he agreed unenthusiastical'
iy. 'Esthers different. You can't
exactly confide in her. She cuts you
short If you tell her your troubles.
You seem to be so different, Sue. You
sympathiZe with everybody"
She felt flattered then, but when a
few days later Bob announced his en-
gagement to Esther, she wondered
whether sympathy was as efficacious
a method Of getting a man as 1t
might be.
Sues mistake is that she is too
Smypathetic--too willing to listen to
other peoples troubles.
AS they pour out their sufferings
her eyes grow wide with understand
ing of sorrow-and those who are
cohfiding in her expand visibly. They
can always go to Sue. She'll pat them
on the head and feel sorry for them.
Consequently they get in the habit
of telling her the worst side of every
thing-just to indulge their self-pity.
Bob didn't dare go to Esther with
his complaint about the new job.
Esther hates continual winners. She
wouldn't have poured out too much
sympathy.
Bob has got in the habit of telling
Esther as much good news as pos
sible And he and all his friends go
to Sue for soothing sympathy-con
fident that she won't despise them for
their giving in to self pity.
Sympathy is a beautiful thing. But
too much ready sympathy may turn a
man from a self-reliant fellow into a
whining baby, crawling to you for
comfort, asking to be petted for every
setback he meets.
Make people stand on their own
feet Don't be too quick to assure
them that you feel sorry for them.
Winners shouldn't be encouraged.
Constant complaints shouldn't be
listened to.
