THAT EMPTY PULPIT . , ; "?? "V 1 And Why Sonfetimes It Is Difficult ' to Fill It. Ladioa of the Congregation Have Oe- i cided Views h to the Minister Who Is to Be Honored by the PrOpoeed Call. ,A charming afternoon in April? one of those days with just enough chill in j th>< air to make the sun feel cotufort able when you crosa to the aunuy side 1 of the street. Just one of those April afternoons when Mrs. Richard Pen nington Hall declares shy has he. u scarcely u place all winter ami Jusi must get out. Mrs. Hamilton Koss finds herself in the same situation, ami they are not alone In their decision. An hour later, on the main street of the I own : "How do you do, Mrs, Koss? So de lightful to he out this lovely day! Yes, Just like myself, I feel like I had bee.n shut In so long by the cold weather ! "Certainly I was there. We must turn out to hear all the candidates for our. pulpit. 44Nq, 1 really can't agree with you. There was something about him that I did not like. False teeth, you say? Are you sure? I told Richard he had au Impediment In his specchl Well, that settles. It ? let's have a preacher with his teeth growing lu his head, "Of course I'm sorry for Brother Hope if he expected to get the place, but we can't help it ! Good-by, yes do come real soon ! Mrs. Richard Pennington Hall hur ries along (she usually hurries at ev erything) and soifle few moments] later, .when grabbing laces at the bar- j gain counter, fortunately comes upon j Mrs. William Cotton Adams, who is similarly occupied. I-aces at bat-train prices are forgotten In the thrill each experiences In a chance for a friendly i chat. . 4 "Oh, my dear Mrs. Hall, how do. you do? I've Just been (lying to have a good talk with you. What have you ! heard about the last minister we had (?n trial? What do you think of him? Yes, In a way I liked li^t, but there j was something about him did hot like. Did you notice It, too? Yes, he made all his gestures with his left hand. Is he left-handed? Oh, Indeed. Of all things. So awkward looking. For my part, I hope we'll not get him. Someone was saying he Jiad false teeth, too. That's, too many defects lit one man, I say. "So glad we have had such a nice chat. Oh, we'll hear several more be fore We decide ou the new minister. Heavens! 5 o'clock and Umo to close. I don't see why they close so early. Goodby, come and see me soon."* Two weeks later : Mrs. James Jordan White boards a Forest avenue car and finds three of the members of her sewing society all going in her direction, so here was too good an opportunity to miss to discuss the new minister. MOh, how do you do, all of you? What did you think of last Sunday's supply? "Short and fat ! Well, I should fcay so ! And wheezy, too ! I Just said to Mr. White I'd bet he'd be laid up with asthma a good part of the time] - "You don't mean to .tell me the com mittee Intends to bring that RevvNa thanlel Hopkins of Chicago here' on trial ! "Oh, dear, I've got to get off here and we haven't half finished our chat I Well, if it's the same Doctor Hopkins that I've Heard preach, we'don't want him ! He's lame ? I think he has a wooden leg! "Gobdby, everybody! Come ami see me, I do hope we'll finally get a preacher we all like !" ? Kansas City Star. Read Up on Civil War. One of the peculiar farts concern ing the entrance of America into the war the stimulus given to reading and discussion of the American Civil war. The perusal of Civil war histories in England has become almost a mania and more hooks treating of the great conflict have been sold in England in one year than in America during the last ten years. The reason is simple: England and the allies generally "want a line" on the American as a fighting man. The Spanish-American war failed as an adequate criterion because we had Spain so hopelessly outclassed from the beginning. But some of the great est battles In thfc history of the world were fought In the Civil war. The per centage of death losses lu actual bat tle were higher than that of any other war ever fought. The verdict seems to be that Americans know a good deal about the sanguinary business of kill ing. Down Befow. First Mermaid ?

V CALENDAR IN HEAD Good Method Now That So Few Are Being Printed. ?; Little Mental Arithmetic Required by 3y?tcm Which le Explained Here ? Little Rhyme to Be Com ? mltted to Memory. Cm I en darn for 1018 an* going to he jecarco, partly on account of the paper abort age and partly because advertls jers are cutting down ex pen sea. the i large Insurance companies, for In (stance, having made it a rule that their agents will have to print their own calendars. It used to be that oue \vus flooded with calondars of all sorts and shapes about the flrst of the year; now one has to buy tiiein. Why buy a calendar If one can carry t ihe whole thing in one's head? There ure several ways in which one can flg ; ure out the day of the week upon which any day of tho month will fall, but tho majority of them require an amount of mental arithmetic that is beyond the powers of the man in a hurry, or the woman arranging for a party. Hero is u simple calendar arranged by a memory expert. It Consists of twelve words arrunged as a rhyme. These twelve words are Indexes for the twelve months, and they are three In a line, so as to make It easier to get at th? months by taking them three at a time:. Tim? Flloiv Fast. Men Wisely. Say; Men Think. Alas! Time's Fcfoled Away. The Initials of these words give us the day of the week upon which the first of the months will fall In 1018, taking them.ln order. T stands for Tuesday, Th for Thursday, S is for Saturday and A for Sunday. M and W are for Monday and Wednesday re spectively. It is obvious that if one knows upon What day of the week the first day of any month will fall, one has only to add sevens to it to discover the dates of all similar days of the week in that month.. If the 1st of August falls on a Thursday, the 8th, 15th, 22d and 29th must all be Thursdays. Now suppose you have committed this little rhyme to memory and wish to know upon what day of the week the Fourth of Julj will fall In 1018. July Is the seventh month and the sev enth word fn our couplet; beginning the third line, is Men. As M stands for Monday, the 1st of July must be a Monday, so the 4th will be a Thurs day. Let us suppose your birthday is I March 23. As March Is the third month the wowl is at the end of the first line, and the Initial F shows that the 1st of March will be a Friday. If the following Fridays are the 8th, 15th. and 22d your birthday will be on a Sat urday In 1918. Suppose it Is Christmas day you are looking forward to. December Is the last 'of the twelve months and the initial of the last word In our little rhyme Is A, which stands for Sunday. Then the Sundays In December will he the 1st, 8th, 15th and/22d, and Christ mas day will be three days after Sun day, or Wednet^ay. Yellow Gasoline as Qood as White. If motorists realized that their preju dice against yellowish gnsollne was un warranted the gasoline supply might be increased considerably. In the early days of the oil Industry poor refining methods were respomrtble for the pro duction of yellowish keroseues and I gasolines, which were sometimes dan gerous. This led the public to demand that gasoline be "water white," and the prejudice has hindered the develop ment of cracking processes which pro duce perfectly Safie gasoline with a slightly yellowish tinge. Another hancUcap In the Industry, ac , cording to petroleum experts, is the necessity for refiners treating gasoline i with sulphuric acid and caustic soda i to remove unsaturated hydrocarbons, which have a high fuel value in an ex plosion engine. It is estimated that there Is a loss of $10,000,000 a year In i the United States through these preju dices, represented by 80,000,000 gallous ; of gasoline. 35,000 tons of sulphuric acid and 3,500 tons of caustic soda. Improvised "Armor." I The way In which the Londoner | makes* the best of his air raids has often been commented on, and one of ? the latest Incidents described Is ; worthy of special recognition.
