BROUGHT TOGETHER BY WAR
Pleasing Incident on the Western
Front in Which Sectarianism
Played Small Park
An army chaplain of the Episcopal
persuasion tells of some experiences
he had on the western front, when his
regiment was ipmrtered In a little
town. 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.
But, best of all, you Could say Hello,'
Just as you do at home and back
wonld come the response from a real
American., exported hello girl : 'Num

We Bhall be surprised if your con
science lets you buy that new csr

TAKE PRIDE IN UMBRELLAS
Indo-Chinese Workers In Franco Never
Fall to Carry Them on Sundays,

Rldlnft along tbro-ih France on a

They mostly hall from Indo-Chlna.
The French Imported them by thou

week, dressed In nondescript mixtures
of native garb and cast-off uniforms,
they work at rosd mending or at

On Sundays they dress themselves

about the countryside. And. rain or

but Invariably a cheap black affair of
local manufacture.

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

Nobody knows why every Sunday
the Chinaman sports an umbrella, un
less It he that In his Oriental mind he

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.

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

speaks of genius.
"You're a German I You're a Ger

Th four-year-old grinned peacefully
and drawled:

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, ' . . , .

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? A man doesn't run after he's
caught a street car, but his nose does
after he's caught a cold."
Optimlstlo Thought
Every person has two educations
one which he receives from others,
and one, more important, which he
gives to himself.
Lines to Be Remembered.
Fear to do base, unworthy things is
valor; if they be done to us, to suffer
them is valor, too. Ben Johnson, .
