IN FLANDERS iTELDS
Bv Lieut. Col. John McCrae, Cana
dian Expeditionary Forces
In Flanders Fields the popi>ies grow
Between the crosses, row on row.
That mark our places; and in the
sky
The larks, still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amid the guus below.
We are the dead. Short days ttgo
We lived, felt £awn, saw sunset
glow, M •
Loved and were loved; and now we
In Flanders Fields.
Take ui> our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from falling hands, we
throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it high!
If y» break faith with us who die
We shall ui>t sleep, though poppies
olow
In Flanders Fields.

An answer to Lieut Col. John Mc"

Flanders Fields."
By Henry Polk Loweustein
31deu ou, brave soldiers, sleep,
steeo where the popl>ies grow,
oleep, on brave soldiers, iu your
places, row ou row.
The lark's still soaring iu the sky.
StlU bravely singing, soaring high,
Away abov^ the cannon's roar,
Scarce heard amdi the guns as yore,
Before you slept in FlanU<ers Melds.
The faith with you we've kePt aud
battled with the foe;
Ou crimson fields by you we've
slept w-here poppies blow.
Th« torch you flung to us »'e
caught;
With Dlist'ring hands we've bravely
fouKbt 1
TV hold it high to guard yo'i thro
♦he Night,
And ai the Dawn to guide you to
the Light,
When you awake from Flanders
Fields.

OLD BASEBALLS ARE USEFUL
Yarn in Wornout Pills Good for Knit
ting Sweaters for Soldier Boys
Now In France.
A now use has been found for used
baseballs, the discovery being made
by President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburgh Pirates when he recently
received a letter from a patriotic
young woman reading as follows:
"The young women of our associa
tion are knitting sweaters, helmets,
socks and other articles for the boys
of the American expeditionary fonce
in France. As a special favor we are
fcoin.tr to ask you if you would kindly
donate to us all the wornout baseballs
that may come Into the possession of
the Pittsburgh club this year.
"We have experimented with the
yarn Inside of the professional balls
used by teams of the National league
and find that It cannot be ercelled for
knitting work.
"If you can see your way clear to
grant this request we feel that you
will not only be doing us a great favor,
but as well rendering a patriotic serv
ice for the American soldiers 'over
there.'"
! CLARE CASSEL RETURNS TO
RANKS OF AMATEUR TENNIS
This is the most recent photograph
of Miss Clure Cassel, whose return tc
t the ranks of amateur tennis haf
I brought joy to the great host of fol

j competition Miss Cassel ranked amonf
1 the llrst ten women experts on th<
courts. She was forced to forego play

barred her from amateur tennla com

I fessional sport activity for more thaj
I a year and as a result Is now restore*
to her amateur status.

CITY or FILTH AND MISERY
Bagdad Has Fallen Far From Proud
Position She Is Said to Havu Oc
cupied in the Past.
Bagdad Is glorious only by reflection
from the past. The houses of the pres
ent town are crude constructions of
brick, mostly from ancient ruins and
adobe; living Is primitive; sanitation
Is non-eslstent; the streets or rather
lanes, so narrow at times that one
■beast of burden fills the whole space
from blank wall to blank wall, are
sewers and rubbish heaps, and the res
ervoir for water supply Is the Tigris
river, which divides the city Into two
parts, Just where all the filth of the
city's lanes pours Into it. In the bus
iness sections, the bazaars, the streets
are roofed over with rude screens of
palm logs covered with mats and reeds
as a protection against the burning
heat of the summer sun.
The houses are provided with ser
I dabs, a sort of cellar, for household re
I sort during daytime in the long sura
j mer months, and when there is no ser
' dab, with mats of thorny shrubs to
j hang before the windows and keep
drenched with water. At thai season
j the whole town sleeps and eats on the
roof, and the main middle floor of the
! house, is practically unused. The heat
of summer is intense, and everything
is constructed to alleviate Its discom
fort, consequently one suiters miser
ably during the brief rainy period from
I the cold and dump at home and abroad.
I The death rate is enormous.—Dr. John
j P. Peters in American Review of Iie
I views.
; ALEUT YOUNGSTERS AT PLAY
Manage to Have Periods of "Fun,"
Much as Do the Children of More
Favored Nations.
The Aleut boys and girls are very
like boys and girls in the States,
•when you get under the furs nnd dirt
and brown skins. They like fun as
well as our children. One of them
•writes: "I was at Atka all last win
ter. I trapped two blue fox. which I
am sending down to have sold for me.
I also learned how to use n gun. Yes
terday we went out with one of the
teachers and I killed an eagle. The
marshal gave me TO cents for killing it
because, he said, I was n girl."
Picking melinas (large raspberries)
Is a favorite occupation. The bushes
grow on the side of the mountain, and
to pick the berries one must either sit
down and dig his heels into the bank
or lie down and hang on with one hand.
In spite of care the picker often takes
an Involuntary coast down the hill.
Bogholes. pitfalls and mountain creeks
add to the difficulties of the quest.
Clam digging is another change from
home life that is welcomed by the
children. They do this when, as one
of the small boy-; <aid. "the tide is get
ting downer and downer." Salmon
catching and curing is another help to
the family larder.—Alice M. Guernsey
in World Outlook.
Many-Sided Missionary.
A missionary in India gives some
Idea of the multiplicity of a mission
ary's duties. He tells us that he Is:
a minister of the Gospel, preaching
whenever possible. A medical man
with a large practice. A schoolmaster
with 30 to 40 small schools under his
supervision. A magistrate for the set
tlement of local disputes, the nearest
government official being 30 miles
away. A road contractor, being re
sponsible for the upkeep and repair oi
50 miles of public roads. , A tree plant
er. (This and the last office are means
of providing employment for the unem
ployed.) A builder, attending to the
erection of his own churches and hos
pitals. A meteorologist, reaching and
reporting thf> rainfall at the request of
the government. A money-lender and
the supervisor of a local agricultural
bant 'X'literary ftfttfi, translator ana
reviser. A colporteur. A seller of
soap nnrl tea, to raise money for mis
sionary purposes.
Saul of Tarsus.
Saul of Tarsus, known as Paul
after his conversion, referring to him
self (n Cor. 10:11), says "his bodily
presence Is weak and his speech con
temptible." Ernest Renan, the French
writer, after consulting Jewish and
Roman writings, says of him: "Paul
was small In size, and his personal ap
pearance did not correspond with the
greatness of his soul. He was ugly,
short, stout and stooping, and his
broad shoulders awkwardly sustained
! a little bald hend. His sallow counte
nance was half hidden in a thick
beard; his nose was aquiline, his eyes
piercing, and his eyebrows heavy and
Joined across his forehead. . , . His
constitution was not healthy, though
at the same time Its endurance was
proved by the way In which he sup
ported an existence full of fatigues and
sufferings."
Roger Bacon's Speculum.
The camera obscura, prototype of
the photographic camera of today, Is
said to have been known to Roger Ba
con—who lived In the thirteenth cen
tury. By some authorities he Is even
beiag credited with Its Invention, says
James Thomson In Photo-Era.
The "speculum" of Roger Bacon,
however, may have been amply of the
order of the "busy-bodies" commonly
employed in some continental Euro
pean countries, and not unknown In
Philadelphia, where In old parts of
the city they may be seen in use almost
any day.
The "busy-body" 19 a mirror fas
tened outside of a window at such an
angle as to reflect the view up the
street.

Efficiency Can Be Overdone.
j It may be that the new and much
| vaunted religion of efficiency can be
I carried too far. A little less of it, at
| times, might work no great harm. Not
; that we would decry efficiency, mind
I you. Doubtless It Is a flne thing. But
I look what It has done to the Ger
I mans.
The Idea we are tryiDg to get at Is
that if a man follow always and eter
nally the cast Iron rules of efficiency,
it is apt to make him stale as an;
other steady diet would do, or to
•weary him as it would weary him tc
be always prim and sedate and al
ways to wear stiff collars and tlghl
shoes.—Los Angeles Times.
Use Wireless Lamp.
A wireless signal lamp has been de
vised for various kinds of war worl
which enables the users to keep ui
communication under conditions wher<
It would be difficult or Impossible t<
stretch telephone or telegraph wires
' A barrage fire, for example, would b£
no hindrance to signaling by this new
apparatus. It can be used betweei
a ground station at the battle front anc
an airplane a considerable distance
away, flying over enemy territory.
