Free Nations of the World
Are United to Defend
Democracy
By HENRY FRANKLIN BOUILLON.
Member of the French Cham
ber of Deputies
ALTHOUGH there is not the
slightest doubt of the result j
of the war in our minds, we
would be foolish to blind ourselves
to the fact that we have a long road
to travel and must suffer much yet
in the cause of final victory.
We must co-operate fully and
join all cur moral and material re
sources. With us in France it ha.-1
begun to be largely a question of
man power. France already has sac
rificed her manhood, and our allies
have incurred similar losses.
So we are unutterably glad at
what America has done in the or
ganization of its manhood. But
there is another thing still more
than man power—namely, co-ordi
nation of our moral determination
nev^r to stop until wc have attain
ed the ends set before us.
The big democracies of the world
today are united in a life and death
struggle in defense of their whole
creed of democracy.
WE ARE THE PROTECTORS OF
COURAGE. LIBERTY AND GLORY,
WHICH WE MUST PASS ON UNDE

THE THROVE IN THE HOME.
Where Two Should Rule aa Ona to In
aura Raal Happinaaa.
"A man may build a throne for the
woman he loves," says the Mother's
Magazine, "but he will find that to
make her a Queen he must mount It be
side her, for only where two rule as one
can either hold true sway. Whether
married or single, W6 do not lire unto
ourselves alone. All the world some
how Is affected by what we are, and In
the married state we have a greater
obligation than merely to keep the
peace or to observe the conventions or
to demonstrate how we can Improve
upon God's law of life and love. .
"It t> well that we should use every
God given power of mind and spirit,
every Quality and grace and virtue at
our command, before and after, in or
der to live up to the privileges and re
sponsibilities of marriage. But mar
riage fortunately is a thing of the
heart rather than of the Intellect, and
Is our wrong attitude of mind to
wa.nl matrimony that would drag It
down to our own level and limit of
comprehension and make It a merely
human mistake instead of a divine gift.
"If we would make it a blessing In
stead of a curse. If we would have It
encompass all of our needs In joy and
sorrow, 1/ we would have It endure
with us through life and eternity as the
sublime fact of our existence, we must
live np to It hour by hour in a spirit
of faith and hope and charity."
BOMBS FROM AlnrLANfco.
Simple Device Thrft Aids In Dropping
the Missile* Accurately.
At the numerous aerial bombing
schools pilots and observers are taught
how to drop bombs accurately on sta
tionary and moving objects on the
ground and on captive balloons.
Bombs of oil clashes are used, from the
eight pound high explosive bomb to the
200 ponnd bomb as well as the phos
phorus and rochamblte bombs.
The Instrument that Is used In direct
ing the placing of a bomb on the object
aimed at is a simple device and is pro
vided with several adJ»MM»ents that
can be made almost instantly. One of
these gives the speed at which cb« rm
ehine is traveling, another Is an ordi
nary water level, and both in conjunc
tion with two mirrors which show ths
pilot the ground below serve to aim
the bomb. The wind has to be serious.
Jy considered when dropping bombs,
aod most bombs ore dropped up wind.
Efomb dropping is a most Important
branch of the air service, and pilots
have been known to dn>p bombs on en
emy trains and transports from fairly
good heights and also on the vital
parts <3t bridges and on depots and
railway Junction.', munition plants, aer
odromes and submarine bases.—Scien
tific American.
The Traok Of th# Earth.
If tho sun and eartB and the earth's
orbit could be seen, then the track of
the earth would be a spiral around that
of the sun. Go take a broomstick, wind
wire around It like thread on a spool,
take out the stick and stretch the coil
until the space between each turn is,
say, one-third of an inch and m&k£ a
hundred turns of the wire. Then this
spiral or coll would represent the track
of the earth through space daring a
hundred years. The sun moves toward
the star Vega at a speed of twelve
miles per second and carries the earth,
all the planets and their moons along.
But they all move around the sun at
the same time and therefore traverse
spirals, represented fairly by extended
coils of wire.
A uomparuon.
A German military critic said that
Robert E. Lee was America's ablest
soldier. Bnt when Lee's army of in
vasion came up into Pennsylvania it
didn't cut down a tree, trample a gar
den or steal a pig. Indeed, Lee was so
good a soldier that he said the burning
of Chambersburg was a military blun
der for which he was not responsible.
The officer in all America's wars who
did the most burning, hacking and rob
bing was Benedict Arnold after he had
turned traitor to his country. But the
chief effect of it was to solidify the col
onists into an effort to win the Revolu
tion—Glrard in Philadelphia Ledger.
A Real Providence.
Mr. Younghusband reached home late
for dinner.
"I got pinched for speeding on the
way home," he explained rather sheep,
ishly. "Have to appear tomorrow morn
ing and get '$10 or fifteen days.' "
Mrs. Younghusband fervently clapped
two blistered little hands. "What a
providence!" she cried devoutly. "You
must take the fifteen days, John! The
cook has Just left!"—Harper's Maga
zine.
Home Ground Cornmeal.
Clean up the old coffee grinder or buy
a new one and grind your own corn
meal for griddlecakes, muffins and
bread. If you do not like bread made
of cornmeal alone use some wheat
flour with It Since home ground corn
meal does not keep loug it is better to
buy whole corn by the bushel and grind
for meal as needed.—New York Sun.
Not an Economist.
"Are you practicing food economy?"
"I tried it out, but It didn't work."
"What was the trouble?"
"My husband simply refused to eat
the cold fried egg that was left over
from the day before." — Detroit Free
Press.
Its Uses.
"Pop, tell me one thing."
"What is it, son?"
"Is the line that ships have to cross
on the sea where they hang the ocean's
wash?"—Baltimore American.
Smartly Said
Of course it Is possible to marry a
rich girl for love—of lier money.
There ra always n suspicion that the
noisy sufferer wants you to suffer too.
The mill: of human kindness often
seems to be in something thicker than
& cocoauut shell.
Business prospects of many an unfor
tunate man have been queered by the
impudent employee.
The sweet slip of a girl always looks
good running an auto—when it is not
coming in our direction.
The chap who uses big words does
not always flash large ideas.
It is easy to say "forget it" when the
other fellow has l>een stung.
Wife has pulled the emergency brake
in time to save many a speedy cuss
from turning turtle.
When a fellow is in love he can see
poetry in every return snap of her Jaw
as she mangles a wad of chewing gum.
