PASSED WITH FLYING CONORS MEN WEAR BENEDICT RINGS Captain Recognized Prospective Marine Engineer as a M?n After His Own Heart. They are so close in some parts of Scotland that the hikes can't get enougl/'wnter, and have to go dryf~ A visitor tells the story of a Scots'-' man, a prospective marine engineer, who was being examined by the cai>- tnin. The skipper asked a number of diffi cult questions in order to confess the applicant, but the latter was always ready with, an"answer. Finally, in a tone of deepest con- cem. the captain asked: . “Now, suppose the water In your in jector was working properly, ^our Roller check was not stuck, or .£${br gibes'clogged, hut you Were hot get- ling any water In your boilers, what would you do?” The engineer looked - puzzled for n moment, Unable fully to grasp the sit uation; then, with a knowing smile on his face, he answered: “I’d go up on deck and see'whether there was any water in the lake.” “You’ll do,” said the captain.—Chi cago Daily News. ^ .. .Properly Qualified.

According to New York Jeweler, the Custom Has Become Common, at -Least in That City. “There Is certainly a grave mis- npphehension concerning' men’s wed ding- rings which 1 think should be cleared up at once," said a Broadway jeweler, according to the New Vor 1 ? Suii. "I have found that people have a feeling that unless a man wears a wedding ring fashioned something like that worn by”'the woman, then some thing is wrong. In fact, I have learned that most people do not even know $ man Is married when he wears unv kind of ring other than' a wedding ring on his fourth linger, left hand. “But that’s a fact. Where the types ‘of rings worn by brides are somewhat slniHuf—a—man may wear, -anyfhipg from a signet to a real 'wedding-ring op Jiis left hand and still be In per- fej?t propriety. As a matjef of"fact. most men dislike the plain wedding ring and prefer sometlilng like a sig net.

The crack of army rifles will be heard In the famous structure, for it has been turned ovei to the Hyde Park post, No. 84, of the Legion in Chicago, as an indoor rifle range. The large edifice, known as the old Field museum after the World's fair, was evacuated with the completion of the new-Field museum. Various or- ganlzutJons of Chicago immediately besieged the park commissioners for ..permission to use tne building, but the Legion post’s request alone was granted. ~ v Legionnaires now have a rifle range de luxe, one that will tend to erase the veteran’s memories of sweltering days, shivering days and cold, iffoist days spent In trying to locate the bullseye on the army’s outdoor fir ing points. The building is so large that a 200-yard range was established without difficulty, along with the shorter distances. . GETS MONEY FOR W. A. A.

Disabled heroes of the World wa£ are not to be without good books to read while they are fighting to regain health in the hospitals of this coun try.. Congress has appropriated in the civil sundry .bill the sum of $100,000 for the purchase of hooks, with the result that each of the 23,000 disabled veterans wHl soon have three or four new books to read. The American Library association, which still has charge of the libraries in the larger hospitals, has been em barrassed by a shortage of funds, and up to this time posts of the American Legion have taken over the duty of supplying books to the disabled in hundreds of the smaller hospitals.- The appropriation by congress- does not mean that either the services'-of tfie American Library association or American Legion in this respect are tc be dispensed with, hut that they are to be greatly augmented and rein forced.
