COLD WINTER AHEAD? DON'IKNOWSAYSCADE

Wliile November Seemed Very Mild, It Did Not Equal Record of Year Ago.

"Don't sit down and try to figure out what kind of a winter we're going to have or you'll get kkiks in your head," advised W. R. Cade, the United St&tes weatherman from his office in The Tribune building. "Winter so far has been "open," Mr. Cade explained and it will be difficult to determine whether the weather will continue so or not. Muoh to the surprise of many people will come the announcement that the winter this year Is eimilar to that of last:. "Last year we have the lowest temperature in November quoted at 20 abpve zero," explained Mr. Cade. "This, ye$.r the lowest was 10 above. Last year the highqfit was 74 and this year it was 77 in November. So that the records show that we have had' warm weather. This must not be construed to-3nean that we will have a cold, wina J&r to offset this warm weather "or a cootintfed warm winter. You just can't

figure it out." According to the records of 1913 there was a slight snow in November and the same condition is recorded for November this year.

IT'S "LOUVAIN BLUE."

Color Names Are to Commemorate Belgian Bravery. MANCHESTER, England, Dec. 6.— The commemoration of Belgium heroism has gone far as to include a new range of color names such as "Liege Brpwn" and "Louvain Blue." The Manchester Guardian protests that though these names were well meant, "they are not the kind of commemoration one wants for such events."

The paper continues: "The most famous case of a color named after a battle is magenta. It was invented shortly after the battle of Magenta in 1859, at' which the French and Sardinians, under Marshal MacMahon, inflicted a sensational defeat on the Austrians. and MacMahon won his title of duke of Magenta. "The color magenta is interesting in another way. It was one of the fir

the aniline dyes to be invented. It was a \ery brilliant crimson, and it had an enormous popularity for that reason. It was the first time that people had seen the peculiar brilliancy of arihne glare The mass of people did liko it from the first, but people with any pretensions to aesthetic taste covnted it a fatal defect of the new aniline colors. The chemists tried, to meet their criticisms and succeeded in,v3soCtening or saddening many aniline cc^jprs. IJSfowacjays post-i.ipression-isitt has ^jiset aesthetics, and the brilliant colors which the mass of unsophisticated people innocently loved all along have now got fairly into •fashion.

WANTED FOR PEW 69.

Two travelers arriving lp,te one night in an out-of-the-way Scotch village, says Charles Pears in the December Strand, made the alarming discovery that the last train had gone. They thereupon betook themselves to the one and enly hostel in the place, and were there informed that all the beds were occupied.

The landlord of the inn, however, v/as a'eo the caretaker of the village church, and so, promptly fetching the key, he conducted the two travelers to the kirk and made them up a bed in one of the pews. Whereupon the travelers settled down for the night.

Some time after midnight the landIt rd was aroused from his sleep by cries of "Fire!" and looking out of his hearoom window he saw the local fire engine being trundled towards the kirk from whence came the tooting of the fire bell.

Hastily spring out of bed and arousing the house, the landlord sent his man posthaste to the kirk to find out where the fire was. After a somewhat lengthy absence he returned, and upon the landlord impatiently demanding, (jWell, where's the fire?" the man repIT&d: "There's na a fire, but I've gottenN^n order for two big whiskies and scdasSfro' pew eaxty-nine!"

Incident of Fighting in Argonne Forest Which Proves Their Value in War.

PARIS, Nov. 25.—(Correspondence of the Terre Haute Tribune)—Notwithstanding much that has already been recorded of them, the ambulance dogs have not yet been given full recognition for the part they are playing in the war, say the dog lovers.

Through the courtesy of Dr. Kresser of the National Society of Ambulance Dogs, the Associated Press has been shown a dozen letters from army surgeons and soldiers telling in interesting detail some of their intelligent and courageous feats. First, discussing the general usefulness of the dog in ffeld ambulance work, Dr. Kresser said this usefulness had become greater in proportion to the development of modern methods of warfare. "The infantryman today does his fighting from the ground, under any cover he can find," he said, "creeping through thickets, hiding in ditches, behind hedges and every spot that is likely to conceal him from the enemy. Naturally the same cover hides him from the view of the stretcher bearers picking up the wounded after the battle. "This duty is further complicated by the fact that it must be done at night, as the intensity of fire makes it impossible to pick up wounded on the field during an engagement. In this work of seeking the wounded at night the ambulance dog becomes indispensable, since lights are forbidden to the stretcher bearers for fear of exposing positions to the enemy consequently the salvation of hundreds of wounded soldiers depends upon the sharp scent, intelligence and devotion of the ambulance dog.

French Shepherds Best.

"The French ambulance dog is the French shepherd, an animal which is proven to be far better adapted to the work than the German shepherd dog formerly employed in the French army, because the German dog is more ferocious and is taught to. fight the enemy ay well as to discover the wounded if his own troops. The French dog is taught to seek the v, ounded of the enemy's troops as well as his own. He is as gentle as he is

faithful and, as in the case of 'Tom,' is the "pet of his company." The "case of Tom" is this:

Gaston Durancl .of the Thirtieth infantry fell in cine of the violent engagements in the Argonne Forest, wounded in the arm by a fragment of a shell, with a bullet in his jaw and nearly scalped' by a blow from a sabre. He tidied to rise, but a heavy weight fell upon him and then he lost consciousness. The first thing he became aWare. of was a fueling that rej sembled a caress upon his forehead. He opened his eyes and there was Tom, one of the ambulance dogs, affectionatelyy lapping his torn head. He tried to rise,sbut the hea^vy weight that had borne him down was still there. It war the body of one of his comrades who had fallen with a bullet through his heart.

Brought the Surgeons.

Impossible to extricate himself, lie filially succeeded in getting to a sitting posture. His cap was gone and that explained why Tom hod not gone back to the ambulance for help. Durancl looked, and Tom searched but no cap was to be found. "Go, Tom, and fetch the cjomrades," Durand cried. A half hour later Tom w6nt into camp and seizing, the first soldier's ooat in his teeth, began' tugging at him. The sc-ldier did not understand. Then Tom barked appealingly but with no more effect. Finally he barked menacingly, with no result. Then the doctor cama along. He understood- And Horn gave a yelp of joy when 'he realized that he had succeeded. Directed by him the doctor and the stretcher bearers soon found Durand, hidden in a thicket, where probably he would have passed unnoticed until he had either starved or died from his wounds, had it not been for Tom

They lifted the dead man off, carried Durand back to the ambulance and notwithstanding the gravity of his three wounds, he is now mending, all thanks to Tom.

FINGERS BLAZE IN STORM.

In a thunderstorm at the base of Table mountain recently the'air became so charged with electricity that persons who touched metal or dipped their hands in water received sharp shocks. Sparks and blue flame shot from the finger tips of housewives who attempted to pick up cooking utensils.

Mrs. Florence Bass sustained a severe shock When her hand came in contact with a vessel on the cook stove. Bhe tlien tried to lift something from a pan of water on the stove and a second shock, more severe than the first, was the result. A blue blaze shot from the tips of her fingers with a report like the crack of a rifle.—Silver Lake, Ore., Correspondence of the New York World

ACTORS IN PARIS ARE MINUS MEAL T-CITS

War Practically Puts Seventy-Thou-sand Men and Women of Theai ters Out of Employment.

PARIS, Nov. 25.—Correspondence of the Terre Haute Tribune)—"As long a? the enemy treads French soil, it is not seemly for Paris to laugh," 'says Prefect of Police Laurent in reply to the renewed appeals of dramatic artists for the reopening of theaters and music halls. "No new permits shall be issued ana no permits previously accorded shall be renewed so long as the Germans occupy any part of France,'' he declares consequently a few moving picture shows, one solitary music hall and one orchestral concert constitute the amusements of Paris.

The poor artists, who are known rather for their generosity than for their thrift, are reduced to the necesity of applying for the government

The average season's receipts of Paris amusements is 30,000.000 francs or $6,000,000 and a small portion of that amount, the directors contend, would suffice to see the 70,000 people who depend upon the theater for a living through the hard times. They recall that in 1S70-71 the Theater Francais continued its performances even when the Germans were shelling Paris and Mont Yfilerien.

Actors Turn To Trades.

The artists and employes of the Opera, the Opera Comique and the Theater Francais are cared for by a monthly allowance. One of the provincial music-hall artists is selling vegetables near the Port Saint ^Martin. A comedian of the Folies, Drnmatiques is earning a living in a butcher shop.

The baritone Renaud has enlisted at the age of 53 on the condition tfiat he be incorporated in a fighting regiment. He has been made a corporal.

Reynal, the youngest "societalre" of the Theater Francais, was killed at Meaux in the battle of the Marne. Alexander, his colleague, is in the military hospital at Montlucon, suffering from pneumonia contracted in the march to Charleroi he Is nursed there by another colleague, his wife, Mile. Robinne, who is a member of the Red Cross staff.

Albert Garre, the new administrator of the Theater Francais, is lieuten-ant-colonel of territorials, awaiting marching orders at Besanson, while the Opera, in addition to Renaud sent Muratare, Franz and three-quarters of the male chorus and stage mechanics to the ranks.

Ghensi, director of the Opera Comique, is an ordinance officer on the staff of General Gallieni, military governor of Paris.

sleep in the vehicles in which they came. As to getting anything to eat or drink, this is almost impossible. The restaurant or innkeeper always declares that all food has been requisitioned by the soldiers. If the visitor has brought his .provisions with him, he may eat them at the inn, but nothing can be. cooked in. the place! owing to lack of fuel.

The visitor may not go out into the streets between six o'clock in the eveninig and five o'clock in the morning, so severe are the restrictions of martial law. Should he break the regulations, he is arrested and kept in the gendarmery until an escort has been provided, which accompanies him to some city far to the rear, and he is put under parole not to approach the lines again during the campaign.
