ARMY TRAINING. WORKS WELL Many Englishmen, Accustomed to Spectacles, Have Been Able to Discard Them. Since the beginning of the European war a surprising number of men have been found wearing eyeglasses. Prior to the war no men who were under the necessity of wearing glasses were accepted In the regular army. With the formation of “Pals" battal ions and other specially constituted corps, drawn in very large measure from the ranks of city workers of the middle class, and used, for the nws( part, tc desk work or other sedentary occupations, the rule prohibiting glasses was relaxed. As a consequence, many men who had become accustomed to wearing spectacles after passing the regulation army tests to prove their sight was not defective, were allowed to retain and continue the use of glasses. The interesting sequel is>that, after undergoing a few months’ training, many of these young men find they can dispense altogether with any artificial aids to vision. Six months ago many who could not read, cross a rpad in safety, or recognize a friend at the other side of It without the aid of glasses, can now, at their training grounds, go to the butts and see and hit the target at 300 yards or more. Not only so, but their vision for all general purposes Is markedly im proved. This happy state of affairs Is attributed largely to the open-air conditions of their new life, and in particular to the more expansive prospect continually presented to the eye. Freedom from close pursuits, carried on under artificial light, is doubtless an important factor. In a proportion of cases it is be-J lieved the improvement effected will be enduring after “Kitchener's men” return to civil life. Anyway, for people so afflicted a valuable lesson is given on the preservation of eyesight. —London Mail. i_ SOME POINTS WORTH PRAISE Hubby Could at Least Mention a Few Things Worth Approval as Articles of Diet. The Smiths had been married about four months and since wifey could more tunefully perform on the piano than on the kitchen range, Smith had eaten things that reminded him of Fourth of July punk. “Oh. Harry,” enthusiastically exclaimed the wife, carrying in a dish one evening as he seated himself at the dining-room table, “I have been cooking you some old-fashioned crullers.” “That was very kind of you, dear,” responded hubby, taking ®ne of the dainties and heroically beginning to eat. “I got the recipe from a cook book.” continued wifey, with a pleased expression. “How do you like them?” “Well,” cautiously answered hubby, slowly munching the tasteless crumb, “the holes couldn’t possibly be better.” —Philadelphia Telegraph.

Ways of Crossing Streets. Street dangers are much the same in all large cities. The New York Times says: “Some persons on principle will cross a street at a point elsewhere than at the regular crossing. Their argument is that at the intermediate point in the block they need look but in two directions to avoid vehicles, while at the intersection of two streets, where most crossings are placed, they must look in four directions, dodging vehicles as they veer around a corner. The argument seems logical. But it is not borne out by experience. “Statistics published by the committee on street safety in the police bulletin show that 40 per cent of fatal street accidents, in cases where the cause is given, occur by reason of the Victims’ crossing the street not at regular crossings. It appears established, therefore, that the added care displayed by drivers when crossing intersecting streets, or rounding corners, conduces to safety. At other points pedestrians are in danger.” Coroner Hoffman of Cook county, Illinois, often calls attention to the pcrit of crossing streets anywhere except at intersections. Cuban Sugar. Although practically all of the countries of the Pan-American union cultivate the cane, Cuba is the greatest producer of cane sugar, not only in the western hemisphere, but in the world. The total production of the western hemisphere for the 1913 and 1914 season amounted to 4,919,814 tons, of which Cuba produced 2,579,732 tons, or nearly 52 per cent. The total cane sugar production of the world was 9,773,348 tons, and deducting the 2,262,600 tons produced by India and locaily consumed, it is seen that Cuba produces nearly 35 per cent of the cane sugar that is available in the markets of the world. Find a Tusk Nine Feet Long. Doctor Andrews of the British museum, with a staff of assistants, is busily excavating in the Upnor hills the most complete set of mammoth remains so far unearthed in England. The professor has yet to determine whether the bones belong to the mammoth or the elephas antiquus. The teeth alone will furnish the necessary evidence upon this point, and the portion of earth where the skull lies embedded has not yet been delved in except so far as to disclose the presence of a tusk measuring some nine feet in lemah

ALL ARE WELCOME TO CLUB Doors of London Institution Open to Methodists of Every Country In the World. A unique club has just been launched in London. It is called the Wesley club, and Its headquarters are in the great Wesleyan Central hall near the houses of parliament, says the Christian Herald, It is the first club to be formed solely in connection with some religious body, and owes its Inception to Sir Robert Perkes. who among ether things revolutionized the underground railways of London, organized the Million Guineas fund which the Wesleyan Methodists raised some years ago, and made possible the erection of the magnificent hall which houses the new club. The club is open to all Methodists — Wesleyan. Primitive, United and of both sexes —and whether they pome Lem England or other parts of the globe. Indeed, one of its aims Is to make the hall even more of a gathering place than it has been for all members of the great Methodist family, numbers of whom come to London from all parts of the earth and visit the hall. The visitors’ book shows many names from New York, Philadelphia and other American cities, as well as those of callers from Australia, Africa and even from Asia. Politics will be barred in the Wesley club, and In the first line of members names prominent in all the British political parties appear. The club, in short. Is intended to be a place where members of the Methodist body can Indulge in that free-and-easy social intercourse which has been one of the good results of that outstanding Methodist characteristic —brotberliness. MANY READY FOR THE JOB Advertisement That Might Seem Beyond Reason Evidently Found Considerable Readers. There is accumulating evidence that people read the advertising columns. The other night a man telephoned an advertisement for a man to drive a car to the coast, says the Phoenix (Ariz.) Republican. Though there is an easily recognizable difference between a car and a cow, it is not so distinguishable by telephone, and the young man in the office understood that the customer wanted a cow driven to Les jtngcles. It did not occur to him that there was anything unusual in that means of transporting a cow so long a distance across the California desert. It struck the linotype operator that this was a little out of the ordinary, but the operator, having not yet taken cut his annual city and county license to change advertising copy, followed it. Two days later the advertiser telephoned again, this time for emendation, correction and relief. He said that since the appearance of the advertisement thirty men.had callcf on him to get the job of driving that cow. Many offered to back themselves with testimonials as to their proficiency in the art of handling Some ofsered to furnish guaranties that they would land the cow in Los Angeles some time before Christmas.

Women and ’ Law. “In their passionate desire for the public good,” says Margaret Deland,the novelist, “women seem to have more heart and less head than men. They seem to be more single minded, but with all their earnestness there is a sentimentality, a lawlessness, an emotional shallowness, a lack of thoroughness in the way in which they approach public questions which, quite apart from the question of doubling the irresponsible vote, makes the matter of their exercising the suffrage alarming. “And in nothing is their shallowness mors alarming than in their indifference to law. The most majestic thing humanity has evolved is surely the abstraction called law. "That the administration of law is defective is neither here nor there. Os course it is defective, but the idea itself, law itself, terrible and glorious, is the wonder of time. "That we, poor ’agglutinations of dust,’ as Stevenson calls us, that we should have evolved law surely shows us to be part of the Eternal Law that is named God.” Certainly Some Voice. Here is a little story that was told by Congressman John E. Bakwer of California the other night, when the talk topic in the lobby of a hotel took a musical turn: Some time ago the guests at a reception were discussing, the rela tive merits of several songsters, when one of the party turned to a man named Brown. “By the w'ay, Brown,” said he, “you are something of a singer, are you not?” “Not on your life!” was the emphatic response of Brown. “I never sang a note that somebody didn’t threaten to send in a riot call. You are thinking of my brother.” "Perhaps I am,” was the thoughtful rejoinder of the other. “Has he a heavy bass voice?” "Yes,” smiled Brown; "so derned heavy that it makes him bowlegged to carry it.”—Philadelphia Telegram. “Eugenic’’ Legislation Opposed. In an article in the Journal of Heredity, Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant surgeon-general of the United States health service, severely criticizes existing and proposed measures for providing sterilization of defectives and for a medical certificate prior to marriasa.
