Turning to the chancellor's state ment regarding the I'-boat war, Mr. Llnyd-George said that April was the height of German piratical triumph The <Jet-mans could look back to that month as a month of glory. 'Since then." he continued, "we? have faced longer days' which in creased our dltticulties enormously on the high seas. but. although our ditll <?11!ties were great, we have gradual ly decreased our losses, and, although we have had only three weeks of July, compared with three weeks in April our losses arc less than one half. "Thi> year we have turned out four times us many ships as last,year. Iji the Inst two months of this year we should turn out us many ships as w*' did In the whole twelve months of last year.

The Human Factors In Good Service There are three parties to every tele phone conversation?:the party calling, the trained operator, and the party who answers. All three share alike the respon sibility for quick and accurate telephone service. The calling party should give the cor roct number in a distinct voice, speak ing directly into the transmitter, and wait at the telephone until the party an swers or the operator reports. The called party should answer promptly. Patience on the part of the telephone user and the telephone operator is also es sential to good service. IV hen you Telephone -Smile SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY STORY OF SEAGOING STEER It Floated Around New York Harbor lor Many Hours and Caused Much Excitement Before Resound* Sever* 1 longshoremen were biting Into thick sandwiches of gurltc on the water front whw? there cume a prodi gious thumping on the. pluuk uuder neath. The floor of the pier gave forth u hollow Kountl. On*' of the longshoremen. the Brook lyn Kagle testifies, swallowed his gar Ik* the wrong way aiul let out u Polish 'exclamation. Then he bent oyer and applied his eye* to u eraek In the woodwork* At drat he could Dot make out anything in the murk, but ut length a pair of green eyes met hla horrltled gase, It seemed, to Ida untuton^ mind, conclusive evidence of a peraonal call from the evil one. and when horns rapped the planking and a long tall swished the water he went away from there very quickly. With him went the rest of the longshoremen. Up winding Fulton atreet they aped and around the crooked corner Into narrow Poplar atreet, where they very nearly carried the door of the Popla* street police atatlon off ita hinges. They arrived before the desk sergeant all abreast and told their atory, -as their knees amote one against another and tbelr hands groped feehly for the desk rail. The desk lieutenant thought at first It was a case of "greenhouse" whisky, hut he finally sent a man down to investigate. The patrolman found that the apparition was only a steer which had been thrown Into the river and had swum up under the dock. He did not know just what to do and his police manual gave hlra no help. Ob viously he could not loosen tSe steer's collar and roll It over a barrel. Nor could he give It an antidote for poison. At last he had a bright thought and called up the dock department, the steer being at a dock and therefore, per se a fit subject for the dock de partment. " The dock department responded?or part of It did?with saws. Then having opened a nice round hole In one of the city's docks, Its work was done, and it sent for the S. P. C. A. The S. P. O. A. does all hoisting John appertaining to steers, mustangs or other anlmrfl flot sam lifted from th^ river. Some brave man passed a rope around the middle of Taurus and every body gave a "Yo, heave ho!" Up camp the steer and stood dripping on the dock with the seaweed hanging from his flanks. 0 This steer is supposed to have been in the river for 48 hours before It was rescued. Communal Kitchens. Tt Is expected that, with the assent of the food controller of Orent Brit ain, an experiment In the use of com | munal kitchen* will he in vogue very j soon. The need for.these aids to the ' feeding of the people Is threefold; j the large nuinher of families who are I unable. through Ill-health or other I causes, to participate tn the economic ' advantages of the war; the difficulty of obtaining sultahTe and nourishing foo?l for ehlldren: and the necessity of having an organization like this In direct touch with the central headquar ters. The food once cooked at the central kitchen would he sent out In large tin-lined boxes or double cans to the various depots for sale, aiW fn these hip. closed receptacles it would keep hot a long time. At the depots.it might he well to supply hot plates for the food to stand on so that when bought it twouid need little reheating before it was served, says a London correspondent. The demand for a va riety of diets can all he met, and plans have already been thought out for dealing with a thousand-and-one Interesting questions that arise. Substitute for Copper. The tise of soft steel and iron as a partial substitute for copper in the manufacture of decorative metals is being experimented with fn the depart ment of manual arts at the University of Wisconsin. For years It has been traditional for decorative metal products to be made wholly or In large part of copper, brass or some other alloy of copper. The price 0t copper Is now so high, more than 50 rents a pound, that a substi tute is needed In decorathve metal. The kind of steel and iron required in this kind of work costs at present 14 cents a pound. Tn many respects this steel is as good. If not better, thtin copper. It works easily, wears as well, Is not discolored or oxidized as quickly, and for many uses Is even stronger than copper. It lacks the red-gold luster, hut can be given a silvor-hued burnish, or can be decorat ed with paints.?University of Wiscon sin Rulletin. Humanity's Lengthened Life. Fifty years ago the average length of human life In the United Stajes was in the neighborhood of thlfty four years. Today the average Ameri can citizen lives to he forty-five years of age. And fifty years from now the average human life will have lengthened to almost sixty years. All of this gain in lengthened life is due to the practice of disease pre vention. And If the world would put Into practice all that Is known of dis ease prevention today, the life of even the present generation might . be lengthened by a dozen years or so. J A Question. "The Hindoos have some queer cus toms. The women wea? strings of gold coins and many bangles. One fe male will frequently carry all the fam ily wealth." "Are we so very different?"

Encouragement in Letters From Home Helps Fighting Mem Officer* Say Gloomy Missives Demor alize Soldier* While Bright Onee Give Will to Win. Mothers! Sweetheart* I Sisters 1 Here's a now way to "I>o your bit," equally as Important as knitting gray wool socks for the recruits or cutting bandages for the Bed Cross. "Write a cheerful letter to your soldlor." Having Its origin at Chlckamauga, tho South's greatest war mobllUayon center, this vogue, for it has found fa vor much ax the American godmother to the French soldier fad, is bounding into popular favor. It is accelerated by these advantages? it is based on facts; it strikes at an Imperative need, and It achieves obvious q^*ultis. The facts are these: 80 per cent of the letters recelve(rS>y the array man convey, Instead of good cheer, a tale of petty woes and Imag inary griefs. "There's a vacant chair at the ta ble, George." "Poor sister's went to work to help support us since you went away." "IIow we need your strong, broad ahouiders to help us hear the burdsh." "Mother's sick. Father's sprained his little finger nnd poor little Johnny's down with the measles." v These are typical dum-dum letters to boys In camp. Ninety per cent of them are better left unpenned. And herefrom springs the new service. "Shield the boy from the trifling cares and worries of home," urge the officers. "Tell him how proud you are of him, how fine you know he's doing, how happy you all are. "Soldiers, like schoolboys, particu larly the younger ones that are out In the world alone for the first time, look forward to the letters from home with eagerness," said a veteran major. "If they carry a morbid tone, he Imbibes It; drinks It to the dregs, and broods. Either that, or as with some disposi tions, he becomes reckless and care less. "On the other hand, a cheery letter encourages him and sends him forth with a will to lick a regiment single handed. "Either way the effect Is contagious. "Despondent, the trooper is reduced to one-half efficiency. His spirit spreads to the sqend, So the company. He becomes discouraged and dissatis fied with the service. Gloom letters are responsible for more than half the desertions." So It Is that the Importance o) a trooper's mail Is recognized by army officers far Mid wide, and at Chlcka mauga- the rrt>w "bit" Is set In motion. It lias already gone so far that stu dents at the officers' training camp are receiving dally epistles, even from fair ones they do not know, each carrying n little insertion of joy. The result is general cheerfulness and firm endeav or throughout the camp. "Write a cheerful letter to your sol dier," IS the slogan. Largest Gold Dredge. A dredge company contracted with the Unitpd Statos Kovornment not long ago to build flood-restraininj* levees on plthpr side of the Yuba River, Cal., and to do It free of charge, the condi tion being that the company be al lowed to drpdge for gold while fulfill ing Its contract. Accordingly a gold dredge, costing $f>00,000, was built which is said to be the largest of Its kind in the worlfl. An unusual fea ture of the mammoth floating machine is that it has two nrms, each 225 feet long, instead of one. These are pro vided with 44-Inch belt conveyors that deposit the tailings on either bank of the stream as thp dredge moves along. The digging ladder is equipped with steel buckets of 18 cubic feet capacity, which can dig to a depth of 89 feet The hull which supports all this ma chinery is entirely of steel and Is 165 feet long and 68 feet wide. The gold saving tables have an area of 8,000 square feet.?Popular Mechanics'Mag azine. Ideals Worth 8triving For. Engineers and industrial managers are glad to make needed personal sac rifices In support of-their government. It is no mean call to duty. Many are no# consciously or unconsciously passing through a period of thinking that can lead but to one conclusion? that there are some things more valu able than earthly existence Itself. Every enlisted man, whether he real Ires It or not, has that belief, and so believing. Is ready for his own supreme sacrifice if It must come. Thousands of othprs must accept that principle of action for themselves before our ln-/( du?tries can be made so effective ad they must become to make the nation strong.?L. P. Alford, In Industrial Management. Ready to Please. A French lady of consequence, who had a lawsuit, came to solicit the fa vor of the president of the court in which the case was to he adjudicated. The magistrate, not receiving her in the wa^ she expected, she was some what chagrlnpd, and on passing into the antechamber, said loud enough to he heard: "Plague take that old ape.** The next day, the lady gaining her cause, she ran directly to thank the president, who merely replied: "Know, madame, another time/that an old" ape is always ready toplensea young one."
