Things on Impulse.

fie later that really I
and thut now I don't
?. all.
... that Is the way I did do;
but now I do differently. Now when I
see something that once I would have
bought ou sight I say to myself: 'Do
I really want that?' and then I sny to
myself. 'I will wait a week and see.*
"At first It wns very hard for me to
?lo this; hut then I got myself under
control and cnine to manage very well.
"Often on the second or third day,
when I have seen that thing still on
*ale, I have found that I no longer fancied
It and then, of course, I was glad
" " f I hadn't bought It; but then sometimes
when I found the thing gone, why, then
naturally I Imagined I did want it; but
on the whole I tlnd this plan to work
beautifully and now I stick to it faithfully,
and certainly it has saved me
from buying u whole lot of things I
didn't want; things sueh as I used to
buy, that Brother Claude, In * his
brusque way, called Junk."
No Rice for Face Powder.
Bice is a food, not a frjyollty, according
to wartime classification.
Therefore the French government lias
prohibited the manufacture of face
powder from rice. This Is Are sad

nislWfc^tter telegrams by
? messei\^?jfWBtead of by wire
' \ ICJi easfei^cities is a practice
\ long standhpT; it was learned after
the postoffffe department had taken
action to Jttop the trathe by arresting
five trJlL agents of the Western
Union cctfifpny who^ had brief
cases filled with pigh messages which
j they were carrying between New
York, Boston.^ Philadelphia, Balti4
more and \Afonhington.
The messengers lour of whom
were taken ar.New York and one at
Uoston?wilAbe called before a federal
grand jtpgd^n tell what theyj
kn ow of the tratlle. and those responsible
for it will he charged with
violating the law giving the govern
y ** ment postal system a monopoly or
Vhe transmission of public rommuni
cations by train or other post routes
It was Intimated that a few high ofii,
, cials of the company knew of the
... | practice. i pon conviction tney
j. ."would bo subject to the penalty of
#500 fine or six months imprison'
"? xnent for each offense.
Postal inspectors who made the
seizures had previously gathered
evidence, it is said, that thousands
Jlght letter telegrams have been
ed on truins between the eastern
cities, and deliveries to their
destinations with all the earmarks of
having been sent by wire. Fictitious
letters and figures ordinarily indicating
the identity of the telegraph
operators at each end of the wire,
v 1 and tile time of receipt, were born
hy the messages, which had been
Xyped in the offices where th-sy orig.
ijjL' lnated.
i
By leaving either end of their
routes on midnight trains, the messtf\ngers
usua?'^ were able to deliver
fhuydles of mfliaages in the destina
^ early the following
i and the telegrams then
' Ajrere distributed to the addresses ms
ft they had .iust come hy wire. On
A me occasions, it is said, trains
w. held up for hours, and the feleEjrrams
were then transmitted by wire
from the nearest station.
Reports reaching the post office
department after the seizures, were
** that the system of sending quantities
of messages hy trains had been
In vogue for many years, and that
JHfch since It often, relieved wires already
Q .'S .' overburdened and resulted in d'div&
v as prompltv as if they had been
Mr .^teguqphed, the practice was con<41
vVlere?l Justified.
fki Postal authorities will refer their
a M|d4nce to district attorneys in
A '.fJew York and Boston for prosecu A-ion,
which, if is said, will be dlrectd
at the company officers or executives
responsible for the situation
rather than at the messengers, who
acted only as employes under, in

The enemy was tirst sighted

miles south of the capes. Captain
Simmons immediately sent out wireless
warnings to all other ships, and
when offered .aid, told all to stay
clear of the enemy, and joined battle
with the U-boat. The U-boat
opened fire at a distance of about
half a mile, and the guns of the

Huns, t>?>t M missed the mark, one
