' Get ready for next fall, fellows, for the blanket cape. .For you are going to have your appearance changed.

"* -V ' The blanket cape consists of an army blanket with a few holes and buttons and a detachable collar. When the ' owner is asleep the blanket cape per forms its primal functions of keeping the sleeper warm, and nothing more. When he awakens he removes a oir; cular hit of cloth buttoned to the midf die of the blanket and unbuttons a i slit about a foot long that starts at the hole. This gives him plenty of room in which to insert his head. A Napoleonic storm collar is then ati tached to the hole collar and the two ; J dies that fall over the arms are con. | nected into sleeves by concealed hut' tons. And there he stands, in a smartlooking poncho that gives him lots of room to get into his pockets and keeps , away the cold also!

War Phrasss Likely tD Ee j Forgotten. 1 I Some of Them Are Welcome Additions j to the Language, and Those That Are Not Will Not Long Retain Favor. The Buffalo Express appeals for a new war vocabulary. It cites six phrases #in common use and declares tliat they have been used so much that they mean nothing. It demands that writers cudgel their brains to find new phrases to take their places. I Here are the -six phrases that have I occasioned this attack: "Hun." "drive." "over the top," "doing your bit," "carrying on" and "strafe." " Though possibly all of these words ' * " " 1 -J huun odrlpfl ?an? to rnem miduiu uu?c u^i. "Boclie" and "camouflage" at least? are being overworked, there is much to be said in their behalf, and most of them doubtless will stick till. In the natural and unpremeditated course of word manufacture, new ones deve! > to take their place, the Duluth Herald observes. And the main thing to be. said for them is that they are very useful, because every one of them expresses j poignantly an important thougnt. i ne j purpose of language is to convey | thought. Language that conveys a j thought most effectively to the most people, especially at a time when I clearness and deiiniteness of thought | are so important as now, is t!ie best J language to use. j "Hun" isn't like!v to go out of use j so long as Americans rernemner tsei| gium and northern France and the ! bombing of cities and the destruction yi of churches by long-distance guns and the work of the submarine. Not to speak of the rare availability of the word for the uses of head writers, who have helped to make it common, the connotations of the word fir so accurately the common opinion of the character of the Germans as developed in this war that there is small i chance of its retirement. I "Over the top" has been worked | hard in the same connection, used aft! er a quota has been filled; and in that i sense weariness of it has led to its gradual disuse. Moreover, there is likely to be less trench warfare and more war In the open henceforth, and as "over the top" means a leap of the attacking force out of its trench this Is the phrase most likely to be dropped. Yet its significance in stouthearted valor and daring among those who have gone "over the top" is so deep that it will never be forgotten by them MO v U1 UJ Ud. "Doing yonr bit** It Is well enoush to retire, not because it has been overworked, but because It has been mis. understood. Ifl Britain, where it started. It means "doing your share." It doesn't mean doing "a little bit1." It means doing all you can. But our sense of the word having that large difference, it is6't a good phrase for us to use. and we should retire it on a pension and substitute "ao your uu most." "Carry on," another British phrase, is splendidly and nobly Anglo-Saxon and should not be sacrificed for any consideration. When the British at Mons.and after were overpowered and overwhelmed and outnumbered and all but crushed by the enemy's superiority in strength and equipment they simply "carried on" and so made the reversal at the Marne possible. Whatever betides, however black the hour may grow, however hopeless the outlook may seem, it is the Anglo-Saxon habit to "carry on" and the courage and persistence it stands for hav?* plucked victory out of many a defeat. "Pnrrv on" will have won this war: sn %7 - let us, who share the same spirit with our British cousins, never forget the word and the spirit it stands for. "Strafe," being German, we could spare readily enough, as well as the spirit of venom and hate that It signifies. J Words don't win or lose wars. Let ' us Taunch our "drive" "over the top." each man "doing his bit." and let us "carry on" until we "strafe" the "Hun" forevermore. i , Great Genealogical Record. \ In mysterious Mecca's archives is rhe most wonderful genealogical < rec1 ord in the world?a roir of parchment about 50 feet long and four feet wide? on which each ruling emir of Mecca has written with his own hand his name.
