Colliers Reported "Missing in Action"
1-t ;ve Seen Classed as "Pre
sumed Dead." ,
According to The Home Sector tliere
(ire vtill between S.0 and 300 members
of the American front line army still
unaccounted for.
In speaking of this war mystery of
missing men the ex-soldier's magazine
says: "Soldiers who go Into battle are !
like men who go down to the sea In j
ships. There are those who return and
those who do not, those who live and i
those who die. And then there are j
those who dwell for years In a twilight i
zone of uncertainty, neither life nor i
death, from which no word ever conies
back to the shores called home. I
"A few7 weeks ago the newspapers I
of the country announced that there 1
were no more members of the A. E. F. j
'missing in action.' The only reason j
they are not missing in action is that I
they have been 'presumed dead.'
"There are still between 250 and 300
members of the American front line
army unaccounted for, who, carried on
the rolls for months and months as
missing in action, seem to have dis
appeared from the battle field as If
by the wave of a magician's wand,
leaving neither the ripple of a rumor
behind them, the testimony of an eye,
nor a footprint in all the paths of the
world.
"They are the irreducible minimum
of the 50,000 lost, strayed or stolen
men that the A. E. F. carried on the
morning of Nov. 12, 1918, as missing
In action. To guard against Injustice
to their relatives or friends, the war
department lias ordered that from
henceforth they he carried as 'pre
sumed dead' Instead of 'missing in ac
tion,' In order that their war risk In
surance benefits may be paid. That In
brief explains why the American army
as it stands demobilized today techni
cally has no 'missing in action.' "
SLEPT AMONG THE DEPARTED
English Artist Sweeps Away Time
Honored Ideas Having to Do
With Spinsterhcod.
Tliere Is a flurry among English
spinsters. A prominent artist has
come to the conclusion that a girl of
forty should be man's ideal. He
sweeps away all the time-honored rub
bish about spinsters at the age of
forty being mostly interested in cats
and canaries. Here Is what he has
to say about the new old girl.
"The ideal age for a woman from
the viewpoint of the man who studies
the sex as an artist is forty years.
The woman of forty is at the perfec
tion of her beauty and has attained a
settled mentality which she did not
possess as a girl in her teens, or as
a young woman in her twenties and
thirties. At forty she Is an ideal com
panion, pleasantly matured, tolerant
and understanding. Only the igno
ramuses in life find joy in the society
of young girls or undeveloped
women."
During the war and since many
women of the so-called "sweet-and-
forty" age got married, a consider
able number of them widows. This
has led to frequent lamentations by
younger women that, with the huge
number of unmarried beauties about,
it is unpatriotic for Cupid to show
such favoritism for widows and spinsters.
CLASSED HIM AS BEGINNER
Travelers in Auto Unknowingly Se
lected Peculiar Place in Which
to Pass the Night.
They lived in Milwaukee and "fllv
vered" through to Indianapolis
with their two children. They left
home early In the morning, arriving
at Gary just before dark. Anxious
to reach their destination as soon as
possible, they left Gary after getting
a supply of gasoline.
A few miles out of Gary a heavy
rainstorm checked their progress and
shrouded the countryside in pitch
darkness. Losing their way they de
cided to turn in at the first gate and
spend the rest of the night in the
automobile, nil her than take chances
of traveling by night in the darkness
on unknown roads.
A few miles further on the outline
of a tree just beyond an open gate was
seen, and the auto was guided beneath.
The couple and children slept In
cramped quarters In the aulo and
awakened at daybreak next morning.
Imagine their horror when they dis
covered they had slept nil night in
their auto In a cemetery. Indianapo

Retired Sea Captain Evidently Knew
Little of "Impressionistic" School
of Painting.
"I once engaged board and lodging
at the house of n retired New England
sea captain," says a New York artist,,
"and from him I received some sincere
advice.
"One clay, while I was busy paint
ing, I became aware that the captain
was standing behind me, gazing at
the canvas over my shoulder.
" 'How do you like it'i' I asked.
"Now, It chanced that the captain's
house has been without an artist
hoarder for several years and that I
was the first follower of the impres
sionist school It had ever harbored.
"The old sea dog gazed thoughtfully
! at the lower righthand corner of the
canvas where I had thrown a mass of
parti-colored splashes and splotches.
" 'You're kinder young,' said the
captain, kindly. "This is your first
summer outdoors at It?'
" 'Yes.'
" 'Well, now, see here,' resumed the
captain. 'There's two or three old
palettes up In our shed chamber. You
get one of those and try out your
paints. You'll have to lose that whole
corner of your canvas, I'll bet you,
iiHd IJ'll make your picture consider
ably smaller. I wouldn't do that again
if I was you.' " Harper's Magazine.

' Too Beautiful.
A man and his wife went to one of
tho most beautiful Islands In the
Caribbean sea seven years ngo to spend
the twilight of their lives in the se
rene beanty of the tropics. It was a
place which the husband, a seafaring
man, had chosen as the nearest ap
proach to terrestrial paradise for those
who have enough money to live with
out working hard.
The couple landed In New York the
other day with their hires and penates
nnd a parrot. The Ideal season Is Just
about to begin In the Caribbean, but
It will start and continue without this
particular pair of humans. "We want
Nil old-fashioned New Ktigland win
ter," said the wife. The husband was
more specific. "It was great for a
while, but finally It got too dodblastcd
beautiful. We nre going buck to Con
ned lent to e o some rorks and barren
llcliN." New York Sun.
Nickels in London.
A letter In the Times of London
points out the advantages England
should gain by substituting nickel coins
for bronze. To one who has merely
visited Switzerland, this proposition re
quires little argument. In weight, bulk
and convenience nickel Is unquestion
ably preferable. With what ease can
Swiss 20-centlme pieces to the vulue
of, say, 2 shillings, be carried, as
compared with 2 shillings' worth of
"copper!" And how this reform would
lighten the bus conductor's burden 1
The combined weight of the 20-centlme,
10-eentlme and 5-centlm Swiss
nickels Is. writes the Times cor
respondent, only 137 grains, ugalnot
the S15 grains, which 3H pence
weigh. Apropos of this subject, the
London chamber of commerce has de
cided to recommend that the govern
' meiit prepare for Issue, when required
to supplement the silver currency,
nickel coins of the value, sny, of six
pence, n shilling and half a crown.
