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

"Certainly I was there. We must

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

was something about him did hot

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

"So glad we have had such a nice

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.

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.

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. A worn
| an appeared on a balcony wearing a
heavy dlshpan on her head. Sho
thought the raid was over, but took
.that precaution against shrapnel. An
'other woman, having to cross a square
to reach her shelter, also wore a dish
cover With u cushion under It, while
yet another had a pewter dish as a
i shield. ? Christian Science Monitor.
