The Huns hnil destroyed every thing there, not even IcnvltiR a biil'd InR to hold services In. A part of his story Is ss follows: "Finally I went to see the Itrtmnn Catholic chaplain, n fine, brnnd. hlR hearted Irlshuinn from Boston. -Why not use tl church?" he said at om-e. itut I thoiiL'ht It was destroyed, snd. anyway, I didn't suppose you'd let me.' I answered. Well, they had put n roof ou In ptnee of the orlRlnnl one, and the altar hadn't been hurt, so nt elt;Iit o'clock In the inomlns he said muss In the church, and at S:4.'i I hud my Protestant communion service, and at 9:30 there wns another mass." In this little narrntlve we ent) see the henutlful IorIc of the war. The sacrifice on the awful buttle line Is not far different . from thnt of Cal vary, for In each case the blood Is slid for all. We are not polns to he so hidebound In our rellRlnus views and practices when the battles for freedom and civilization hove been won. There will doubtless he Cath olics, Methodists and Jews after the war Is over, hut they will love one another. Ohio State Journal. WRONG IDEA OF CHEMISTRY Writer Humorously Describes What Many Suppose It to Be, and Points Out Wist It Is. "Tf I had been real bright," aaya En Rene Wood In his humorous sketch colled "Missed It The nig Idea," In Hoys' Life, "I would have seen that the thing to do, when there Isn't the substance that you want, 4s to go ahead and Invent It Other people do thnt, so why not you? Make It out of other substances not a bit like what you want That's whut you call chemistry. "I knew there was such a thing as chemistry beonusa I had been In a chemical laboratory. But a boy'a no tion of chemistry la a good deal like that of the level, solid-headed business mnn before 'the war Tsl I get all twisted sometimes the solid, level headed business man neMre the war. That a what I meant to soy. That no tion Is: that chemistry la where-. It smells like the furnace didn't draw; it la where you pour clear stuff out of a bottle Into clear stuff out of another bottle, and It all clouds up different colors; It Is something you have to learn so as to get through college, but tt ain't practical."" "Hello Girls" In France. Two little paragraphs taken from Hamilton Holt's study in the Inde pendent (New York) concerning the vast activities behind the American front In France convey volumes of in formation to those who would realize the scope of the organization at a cer tain American base port . "Not the least American thing In this Franco-American city," writes Mr. Holt, "was a completely equipped American fire engine house with a crew Imported from as far distant a city as Portland, Ore. And you should hove seen the hoys slide down the pol ished brass pole, Just its they do nt home, when the captain sounded the gong. . "I forget how many hundreds of telephone wire w had installed In our special American telephone circuit.

TAKE PRIDE IN UMBRELLAS Indo-Chinese Workers In Franco Never Fall to Carry Them on Sundays, Rain or Shine. Rldlnft along tbro-ih France on a 8unday In these times, one Is reason ably certain to meet many Chlnnmeo tinder umbrellas. They mostly hall from Indo-Chlna. The French Imported them by thou sands for rervlce In the labor battal ions behind the lines. During the week, dressed In nondescript mixtures of native garb and cast-off uniforms, they work at rosd mending or at ditch dlRglng or at track loading Jobs. On Sundays they dress themselves Op In their best clothes and stroll about the countryside. And. rain or shine, each one brings along with him his trensured umbrella, snd carries It unfurled above his proud head. It never Is a Chinese umbrella, either, but Invariably a cheap black affair of local manufacture. (Jo Into one of the barracks where these yellow men are housed, and at the head of each bunk there hangs a black umbrella, which the owner guards as his most darling possession. If he dies I supose It Is burled with him. Nobody knows why every Sunday the Chinaman sports an umbrella, un less It he that In his Oriental mind he hns figured It out thnt possession of such 11 thing stamps him as a person of trnvel and culture, who. like any true cohniopolltun. Is desirous of con forming to the custom of the country to which he has been transHrted. A Frenchman. If careless, may leave his umbrella behind when he goes forth for a promenade; a Chinaman never does. Irvln S. Cobb In Saturday Eve nlng Post HOW WOMEN HAVE ADVANCED Interesting Now to Recall Their Status in Great Britain Less Than a Centyry Ago. Should women be whipped? Just a century ago wiseacres, poll ticluus and noble lords of Great Brit ain were debating the point. It was quite a new Idea to worry about what was happening to women, but after some discussion It was decided thnt they ought not to be whipped thnt the best way to handle them was on the "gontle-but-flrin" method and in 18'J0 the wiseacres, politicians and noble lords passed a bill known as the whipping act prohibiting the cor poral punishment of women. Iluving made this exertion on wom an's behalf they returned to the dis cussion of tilings which . Interested tly m. ' Fifty years passed. The seed which had been planted In lfOO Jicmm to take root in 1870,and the question of special legislation for women again bobbed up. Tills time an act was passed allowing women to be posses fors of their own property a mag nanimous document known as the married women's property act Those two acts, small In themselves, were of grent portent to women. They were the first admission that women hod any rights or legal status. In the last fifty years women have come to the foreground In leaps and bounds. By the Interpretation act of 1SS!) the government went so far as to allow that "words In any' act of parliament passed after 1850 Imputing the masculine gender shall Include females unless the contrary. intention appeara." London Mull. . Open Avowal. There Is -one family in Washington thot hus a Germanic name. There are many more families with cognomens smacking of Teutonic extraction, of course. This particular family has a very little boy In it who, in playing with the other boys of the neighborhood, has been gibed more or less on ac count of his name. The battles are small affairs, of course, since the par ticipants ftre very smnll. Perhaps the young mnn saw the fu tility of war. .Perhaps he Is a phi losopher. Anyway, his ltest reply speaks of genius. "You're a German I You're a Ger man I" a playmate yelled at him. Th four-year-old grinned peacefully and drawled: "I'm a German spy, 1 am." Material for Paving Bricks, The sing of British blast furnaces contains 20 per cent of silica and 22 of alumina and makes excellent paving bricks of stony texture ; but bricks from American sing, which has 34 per cent of silica and 14 of alumina, are glassy ,and brittle. The American bricks quickly solidify In a thin outer skin. In the process patented by J. B. Shaw a product of improved texture is obtained by Immersing the. hot bricks In red hot sand and cooling slowly for twelve to eighteen hours, to solidify the Interior as rapidly as the outside, ' . . , .

' g7 SOLDIERS DEMAND BIBLES Three Great Publishing Houses Work Night and Day to 8upply Demand, Three great publishing houses In America, England and Scotland are obliged to keep their presses running night and day to supply the demands of the soldiers for Bibles, declares Rev. William Austin Hill, New Eng. land secretary of the American Baptist Foreign Missionary society. "The Bible Is called for more than any book among the soldiers," said Rev. Mr. Hill. "It Is printed to 81 languages and a copy lasts a soldier on. an average about three months. So four copies are given each appli cant. There never was a time in the history of the world when men longed more for the Scriptures.? Conoemlng Running. Said the facetious feller: "Ain't It funny?
