“Success has turned many a
man’s head,’’ observes the Boston
Postscript. True enough. But it
hasn't anything on the short skirts
in that respect.
Paeans of praise should go up
from the bald-headed fraternity af
ter the solemn announcement by
Dr. Robert Clark that of all the
cases of insanity which have come
under his watchful eye only one
man was bereft of hair. Come to
think about it, none of the bald
heads of our acquaintance seems
to be on the way to Little Rock.
You can hear some people all
ways wondering why prohibition
ci mes and can read daily such
stories in the newspapers as fol
lows: “A Lincoln man, under the
influence of booze, dragged his sick
wife from her bed and “beat her
up.” Three children, aged four,
two and nine months, cowered be
neath the bed when their father
appeared. He dragged the two
year-old forth and literally kicked
him across the room. A doctor
saw the performance and inter
fered. The Loving Father and
Kind Husband is in jail where he
ought to lie and rot. When ar
rested he was too drunk to realize
the enormity of his crime. Whis
key had made such a beast of him
that even the other inmates of the
jail gasped and turned away from
him in disgust when told what he
was charged with.

HOW HIGH EXPLOSIVES KILL
8oldiers in Trenches Slain Because of
the Disturbance Shells Cause in
the Atmosphere.
In a recent address to the Society
of Civil engineers ol France, M. R. Ar
noux explained why soldiers are killed
by the mere bursting of high-explo
sive shells. A pocket aneroid barome- ;
ter that had been made unserviceable
by being too near a German shell
when it exploded showed that, at a
distance of less than three meters, the
explosion had caused in the room
w'here the instrument was placed a
sudden barometric depression of at
least 350 millimeters of mercury. Now,
such a depression crrresponds to a
driving velociay in the air of 276 me
ters a second, and to a dynamic pres
sure of 10,360 kilograms a square
meter. That sudden static depres
sion of the surrounding atmosphere
kills the men in the trenches, al
though it leaves them apparently un
injured. -* When tho pressure of the
air decreases too suddenly, the air
and carbonic acid that the blood holds
in solution are disintegrated in the
form of minute gaseous bubbles, and
are driven by the heart into the small
arteries. If their diameter is greater
than that of the small arteries, they
act, of courso, as so many gaseous
plugs, which instantaneously stop the
circulation of the blood; and death
occurs before the return of the at
mospheric pressure to normal enables
:ho blood to absorb them again. High
sxplosive shells kill through a smaller
*adius than shrapnel, but they are
nore deadly, for within their radius of
iction no living being can escape.—
fouth's Companion.
H/HY STEEL SHELLS ARE USED
last Iren Could Not Be Depended On
to Do Accurate Work That
la Demanded.
The great cest of the shells used In
warfare has astounded most persons
rho are unfamiliar with such mat
ers, and in answer to a c.orrespond
nt asking why cheaper shells made
f cast iron were not made use of in
reference to the more expensive steel,
he Engineer of London has the fol
owing: In the first place, where
hrapnel is concerned, the number of
ullets is reduced because the walls
if the projectile must be made thtek
ir. There is not an objection in higli
ixploalve shells, which call for walls
:hlcker than is necessary for strength.
>ut there la danger of cast iron shells
ieveloping cracks during manufacture,
ind there would be a risk of such
hells bursting in the gun. Another
bjection is that a cast-iron shell is
lable to be inaccurate in its flight,
'he projectile must be in perfect bal- *
nee w-ith the walls, not only of the
ame thickness all around, but homo
eneous. At the high speod of revo
iiticn, the siiglit difference in weight
n one side would cause irregular
hooting. The steel shell is machined
nside and out, to insure uniformity:
ut if a shell were cast on a core and
he core were not absolutely concen
ric, the center of gravity would not
le exactly in the longitudinal axis of
he shell. Furthermore, the making
if a steel shell has been so perfected
hat such shells can bo turned out
nore quickly than those of cast iron
if equal reliability in accuracy. An
18-pounder shell can be completely
nachtned from the bar In 40 minutes.
Society Takes to Art.
Society's latest fad is art' study.
Many young women prominent In so
ciety are enrolled in the art schools
here, where they are studying interior
iecoratien and costume designing.
They all express the wish to obtain
knowledge that will enable them to
provide fcr the artistic arrangement
sf their homes and set styles that will
fix an American standard, and estab
liah modes entirely distinctive to this
country. The war has furnished an
exceptional opportunity in this direc
tion, and many American artists are
endeavoring to seize upon it to en
courage the advancement of art and
fashions that carry American charac
teristics. One of the directors of a
well-known school here says that so- I
clety’s interest is a sound refutation
of a sometime popular notion that
women of society devote their time en
tirely to frivolities. He says the ros
ter of those who have shown enthusi
asm over the practical work involved
in their presence at the school is al
ready large and growing constantly.—

HIS MOUHTM GIRL
By RONALD ROSS.
. _if!
Marvin was in his later thirties
College bred, he had gone West after
naking a failure of his life. He had
10 ties. Nobody in the world cared
for him. He wanted only to bury
fiimself in the heart of the forest and
to forget.
One day, as Marvin rode through
the woods, he came upon a slip of a
mountain girl bending over a brook.
Her bare feet were as brown as ber
ries, her arms nut brown, her face
flushed with confusion as she raised
it to his.
They fell into an easy conversation.
Her father was a small sheep rancher
living in the valley. She had no oth
er relative or friend except—Jim.
Jim was her lover, Marvin gathered.
He rode on, vaguely disconcerted. The
thought of the girl recurred to him
again and again.
He met her once more, twice—then
the day came when he rode down to
the valley to buy his supplies. And
he saw the girl at the door of the
ranch building.
“Joe Cooper’s gal,” the storekeeper
told him. "She’s sort of queer. Old
Jim Bates is crazy to marry her. but
he’s in his fifties and the gal don’t
care for an old man. Guess her father
will make her, though. He's eager to
get rid of her—shiftless lot, them
Coopers."
Marvin, returning, saw a group of
three at the door of the house. The
two men were arguing angrily with
the girl. Marvin thought he saw
tears on her cheeks. He pulled in his
horse; then slowly rode away. It
was no business of his; he could not
interfere.
But the days hung drearily on his
hands, and he felt a vague longing to
see the forest girl again. About a
week later his wish was gratified.
She was coming along the trail,
sobbing, and when she saw him she
stopped dead and hid her face In her
hands. Marvin was at her side in a
minute.
“You are in trouble," he said. “What
can I do to help you?” Then in sud
den realization, “You were coming
to me?”
She nodded dumbly. “I can’t stand
for it in the valley,” she said. "I
won’t marry Jim Bates. I won't. I
hate him. All my life 1 have wanted
to live in the mountains, away from
folks.”
The stammered foolish words were
almost inarticulate. Marvin under
•tood the passion behind them, the
»ul longing for freedom, groping for
refuge from the petty tyranny of life
He placed his arm around her. She
looked up at him, and fhelr lips met.
"I, too, love the mountains,’’ he said.
"Would you come and live with me—
I mean, if we were to be married?”
She nodded. They strolled together
along fhe trail, and at last both had
found happiness. Before she left it
was arranged that she was to meet
him and they would ride to the near
est town and find a minister.
That night he dreamed that he was
pursuing Laura through a vast, smoky
land, a wilderness with no other liv
ing being in sight; yet she was run
ning from him toward some unknown
danger, and he pursued, eager to save
her.
He gasped and sat up. Through
the window of his cabin he saw a
lurid light that seemed to fill the sky.
The room was filled with smoke.
He hurried into his clothes and ran
to the stable. The horse was whinny
ing, fearful of the fire that seemed to
be creeping nearer. Marvin saddled
him and rode at a gallop into the
woods. At the edge of the crest he
saw that the whole valley was ablaze.
He tethered his horse securely and
ran down the valley. He saw smol
dering homesteads, fallen trees,
blackened rooftops of deserted houses
Then he was at the Cooper ranch.
The house was still blazing.
He ran through the little Irrigated
patch and hammered furiously at the
door. It fell crashing beneath his
blows. The interior was empty.
Thank God for that!
The girl must have Joined the fugi
tives In the mountains at the other
end of the valley. There was no more
to be dope. Marvin turned slowly
away—and then he was aware of the
girl crouching beside the little trickle
of water, as she had crouched by the
brool^ that day. She was crouching,
weeping, and in a moment he had her
In his arms.
"You are not hurt?” he cried.
"Where is your father? Your—”
"I don’t know^” she sobhed. "When
I awoke the house was beginning to
burn. I dressed and hurried out here.
I think—I think they have gone with
the settlers toward the mountains."
"They left you to burn!” exclaimed
Marvin, in horror.
She laid her hand on his arm. "I
| heard them calling for me,” Bhe said.
“Rut I hid here. Tomorrow I was to
j have married Jim.”
“And now?” usked Marvin, bending
| over her.
“Now, I Just can’t. I can’t Leave
| me to die ”
He caught her In his arms and ear
j ried her up the valley, over the sraol
! dering ruins of the little settlement.
! When they reached unburned ground
! he set her down and walked beside
; her, holding her to him Her hair, un
loosed fell over him They were to
| gether and content, Immeasurably con
| tent, and nothing else mattered.
