Camp Secretary Knew the Feeling of Soldiers Gathered to Subdue Bloodthirsty Hun. War’s changes are being shown In greater degree In the Y. M. C. A. ac tivity, remarks the New York Sun. The psalm-singing official has passed. In his place is the athletic director and entertainer, of red Mood. No bet ter example of the metamorphosis could have been had than in an inci dent not long ago at Camp Mills, the great Long Island concentration camp where the men were equipped just be fore sailing. One of the old-style officials was holding a meeting and was expatiating at length on the care the men should take of their souls. His audience, al ready partly homesick after months of training, was restless and grew glummer and glummer. The camp secretary watched with dismay the effect the speaker was having on the soldiers about to sail. The climax came wheu the parson, after a final appeal to the men to face death bravely, said: *We will now sing ‘Bing the Bells of Heaven,’" That was too much for the local camp man and he jumped to his feet, holding up his hand to the man at the piano to stop. Then he shouted: “Boys, before we sing this ‘Ring the Bells of Heaven* don’t let us forget that first we must ‘Wring the kaiser’s damned neck.’" The shout that went up broke up the abashed parson’s meeting and “Ring the Bells of Heaven” was In definitely postponed. MODEL ON AMERICAN CLUBS France Considering Adoption of Our Methods of Teaching Farming to Boya and Girls. France Is considering the adoption of Uncle Sam's methods of teaching better farming and home making to boys and girls. Representatives frqm the French high commission, lately In this country, made a point of studying carefully the methods of the federal department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges Id conduct ing boys’ and girls’ clubs. Much of the Information thus collected has been widely reprinted by the French press, accompanied' by editorial com ment expressing the view that, the man or woman power of France hav ing been depleted or disorganised by war service, France for some time to come will be dependent in large part upon Its younger population for its food supply and suggesting the forma tion in France of a nation-wide system of boys’ and girls’ clubs patterned on those in America. It la expected that these clubs will grow staple products —garden produce, wool, farm grain and forage crops, poultry and farm animals on farms not devastated, the very soil of which must first of all be put In condition. They will stimulate production by the young people of France through organized contests not only In farming but in home enter prises such as bread making, garment making, cooking and home manage, meat. Ventilation. The mayor of Terre Haute the other day appointed a number of the city schoolma’ams to do special police duty, such as to seeing to the ventilating of stores, etc., says the Indianapolis News. Miss Margaret Kllroy, a high school teacher, being one of those ap pointed, visited a number of stores. In one the manager became Indignant as she explained the necessity of his do ing more ventilation. “Why, It’s very warm here," she complained, unbutton ing her coat and revealing a georgette crepe waist “Ventilating doesn't have anything to do with It,” protested the man. “Why, 99 per cent of the cases of flu In this country have been caused by the wearing of georgette crepe waists.” He was actually ready to smile when back came Miss Kllroy’s cool re joinder: “I suppose that explains the great number of cases in the United States army, then."

There is only one “Bromo Quinine." E. W. GROVES signature on the box. 30c pyncnr, ms, by McClure newspaper Syndicate.) “Mother, how you make such won derful plea la beyond me,” said Tom. Mrs. W smiled pleasingly at her only son. This wasn’t the first time this little mother bad been compli mented by her son for her pies. “I solemnly state on this apple pie in the presence of you and dad that I shall never marry a girl who can’t come up to your pie baking standard." Mr. W laughed loudly, and said, “Tom, you keep quiet,” Mrs. W just said, “Go ahead, Tommy, get your mate, and leave It to me to teuch her how to bake.” Taking a piece of pie, he kissed hts mother and went off to the club. “Oh, I hate It! Detest It! I never will know how to cook.” With her hair all mussed up, tears streaming down her face and her hands sticky with dough, Mary A sat down dis gusted with cooking and baking pies. Her mother came In, and upon see ing her, cried out, “Mary A , get up this instant. A young girl of eighteen should know better than cry over sue!) a trifle. Patience, my dear, you will know how to bake soon enough.” “But I don’t waht to know how," re plied Mary. “I wasn’t born to be a cook, anyway.” If there was any day Mary really detested It was Saturday, when her mother let her do all the cooking and baking for the entire day. It’s true Mary made a pretty bad mess of things, but then If she really put her mind to It she could have been a little expert at It. Mrs. A saw that she couldn’t do much of anything with Mary this af ternoon, anyway, so she let her off "Just wait, Mary dear, when Mr. Right comes along, and he's the kibd who can be reached by the stomach, you will be mighty sorry that you didn’t take my advice more like a dessert than a medicine.” Mary was hurrying home with eggs, and was* Just turning the corner when she collided with Thomas W . Down went the dozen of eggs, making a yellow stream on the young man’s shoes and on her suit. When she came to, for she thought she had fainted, she was as red as a beet, and stood there begging his pardon and all that ceremony. Tom meanwhile assured her that ail was well, and wiped the egg off. All this happened to. the amusement of the numerous passersby. Everything appeared so funny for the moment that this youthful pair just couldn’t keep back the peals of InngMer and off the’’ went after Tom secured Mary’s permission to accom pany her home. Mrs. A saw them coming and walked over to the gate. Mary for the first time realized that they did not even know each other. She explained everything to her mother, and good-natured Mrs. A laughed heartily, and after names were exchanged, etc., she invited Tom to come down to dinner next Satur day. He thanked her for her kind in vitation and promised to come.< Saturday was an Ideal day for a stroll, Mary thought, but since “the egg hero” was coming down, she de cided that she must help her mother with the cooking, much as she disliked It. At 5:30 all was ready. Mary had telephoned for a few more friends to come also, so her mind being full of the coming dinner the day passed much faster than ahe thought a Satur day ever could. Wonder of wonders! To celebrate the event, the four apple pies she made were a success! In fact, the best she could ever wish for. When they were all seated at the table Mrs. A told about the eggs, and this caused the young people to ripple with laughter. Finally the pies came around. Tom took one bite, and decided then and there that he liked It. “Well, at last, Mrs. A ,” he said, "I have found a pie equal to my mother’s. I must congratulate you.” She was about to say who deserved the honor, but noticing the grimaces on Mary's face decided to keep quiet. Tom was telling them about the pie pledge, to the Immense enjoyment of those present. Mary turned a deep red, and Mrs. A smiled again. This friendship between the two de veloped In time Into love, and one eve ning while walking through the woods Tom suddenly halted and looking squarely at Mary he said hesitatingly: “Mary, dear, surely you must real ize how much I love you.” "Oh, but Tom, I can’t cook, and yon remember what you said about your pie pledge.” "You little dear, why that was only a Joke. Do you think It would ever matter to me,” Tom said enthusiastic ally. “Tommy, dear, really you didn’t mean It!” “No, sweetheart,” he said. On the way home Mary pulled near and said: “1 have something to con fess, Tom.” “Go, ahead, dear,” he said. “’Fess np—I’ll forgive you anything.” “Well, it was I who really made those apple pies that you liked,” said she smilingly. Tom laughed heartily. “As If you could deceive me,” he lied bravely. "Why, the pie was so sweet that 1 couldn't help knowing you made It.” Pie Is still a favorite In the W household, and little Tom, junior, Is his dad over again, even to eating pies. T«?s, and Mary sure Is a splen did little cook—yes, and she likes It too. m I vs.-: Biolet Tree, Marie Cayanach, Eiliel Liwronoe, in ' “ • -’’’’ngham’s Stupendous Production of “Chin Chin” at the O’Dowd Theatre Thursday Feb. 13. 35 W.

While the program as recommend ed dO'*s not authorize the six bu tl» cruisers and 130 other smaller craf asked for by the department, it wa; explained that it had been decidet to postpone cons ruction of these ves .sels until naval experts could read agreement as to their designs based on experience gained in the war. The agreement of the committee was reached at a long executive ses sion, af er which Cha'rman Padgett smilingly announced that decision hat been unanimous. Mr. Padgett said the completed naval bill would carry t total ot 8750,000,000, of whle-h suit 8169,000,000 would be for ship con strueition. Work af completing the bill for in ‘.roductlejn in the house was expectee* to be finished by tomorrow when Mi Padgett said he hoped to get tlj measure before the house next week Besides proving for the new bif id ing program, the bill authorizes a tem porary naval force of 225,000 men, e: elusive of edficers, and carries an am endment by Representative Oliver of Alabama, directing that men who enlisteel in the navy during the wai for the regular terms of four years shall he Regarded as having enlistee* fo the period of the war, if they ap- nly for such change of status before next July 1. After the committee's decision 'it was learned that the navy general board, headed by Rear Admiral Fleteb ?r, Is studying the question of mili- *ary characteristics of new ships close 'v. but lias not as yet reaeheel de- ,finite conclusions. The one point on which there ap- tears to be substantial agreement is ‘hat no very radical departures in battleship or tMUe cru'ser’design has grown out of the great struggle. The onvigemen s of heavy craft were ten) •■ew to afford any clearcut lessons, ! t was sald^ and the develooment of ilteso vessels continues to be largely on theoretical lines. The last American battleships au thorized were designed for a displace men. of 4:i,000 ions, carrying 12 16 'nch guns in their main batteries and having a speed of 23 knots an hour. The six battle cruisers for the navy authorized ' n 1916 constilute the most radical elepjtrture in naval design mado by any na ion, it was held, be eiuse of their great speed and heavy batteries. They were designed for a speed of 35 knots ami to carry eight 16 inch guns.
