"We tn tl?l? country started to work on the theory that It was possible to produce body armor which would not be difficult to carry and which would resist the Impact of a machine-gun bullet at fairly close range. "There was developed by the en gineering division of the ordnance de partment a body defense, Including a light front and body plates, weighing altogether only nine 'and one-half pounds. The plates were lined with sponge rubber. One lot 'of 5.000 were manufactured and sent abroad for ex periment. fhere was also developed, manufactured and sent over to France for test a heavy breast plate with thigh guards, weighing twenty-seven pounds, capable of stopping machine gun bullets at 150 yards.

An appeal for funds to carry on the excavation of Egyptian antiquities on n larger scale than ever before con templated was sent out by the Egyp tian Exploration Fund from Its Amer ican headquarters at Boston, the New York Times states. About $10,000 Is needed to reopen the excavation of ancient civilization where many relics were found before the war stopped the work. The appeal says: "Two monumental undertakings are the clearance of the eleventh and eighteenth dynasty temples of Delr el Banari, visited by every tourist at Thebes, and at Abydos, the Oslrelon, the temple of the underworld, dedi cated by Merenptah, I'haraoh of the Exodus, and richly decorated by him with texts from the .'Book of the Dead.' This great excavation, halted by the war, employed 083 fellaheen (native workmen) and awaits comple tion. It is the one remaining archi tectural puzzle of Egypt." Fit Yourself to Conquer. Tou must see.the rainbows In tho future If you would be a bullder^who touches men. You must forget the lowering clouds and Impending storms.

Enthusiasm pnlnts Its own stars In the mental Armament and then drdwg from them light. You might as well try to pull the sun from the sky as to hinder the youth who Is led by enthusiasm. Ills life Is too buoyant to be held down by oppres sion. Injustice merely makes him a martyr and wins the crowds to him. And when he feels the opposition ol unthinking men he will rise to greater heights as he thrills those who listen with the story of his wrongs. What he sees or thinks he sees makes him lrr<? sistible and fits him to conquer.?Grit. The Cynical Actress. At least one manager believes that the actress should lead a pufe and sim ple life. "Cynical, disillusioned actresses are no good." he said at a dinner. "I re member an actress of mine some years ago who fell.down badly In a part I'd given her. " 'Look here,' 1 said the morning af ter she fell down, 'ail critics say you don't show half enough emotion In tho scene where your husband leaves you. never to return.' "The cynical, disillusioned creature 'Oh. I don't, don't I?' sho sneered. ?Well, look here, Mr. , I've had six husbands leave me, never to return, and I guess I know how much emotion ought to be shown In such circum stances as well as anybody.'"?London Opinion.
