Largest Electric Motor.

What is said to be the largest elec trie motor yet built has recently been completed by a leading. American electrical manufacturer, for use in driving a two-high 35-lnch reversing blooming mill, which reverses for every pass; that is, every time ifi'etal goes through the rolls. Reversals can Be made from full speed to full speed in about two seconds, and in regular work 19 or 20 passes are made in two minutes. The motor has a rating of 15,000, and complete it weighs more than 250 tons. It Is 20 feet high and the shaft Is over two feet in diameter.

Sudden Growth.

Little Jean had been promised she might go to school when she was five, years old. This, with some other promises of similar nature, made her feel she would be a very large girl when she reached that age, so the morning of her fifth birthday, when her mother told her to put on the same dress she had worn the day previous, she said in astonishment: “Why, mamma, do you s’pose it will be big enough?”

Mathematics Practical Art

Whatever may be said of mathematics as a “whetstone of the wits,” or as a mental discipline, the fact remains that the chief vitalizing factor of the subject Is found in its practical uses. Historically speaking, much of our advanced mathematics as well as most of our-.elementary mathematics sprang as a necessity out of very practical conditions. —Exchange.

To Get Comfortable.

To try to make others comfortable. Is the only way to get right comfortable ourselves, and that comes partly of not being able to think so much about ourselves when we are helping other people. For ourselves will always do pretty well If we don’t pay them too much attention. —George Macdonald.

Tried Another Tone.

Little Grace was told to stay in until It stopped raining, so she kneeled down and said: “Oh, Lord, please make it stop raining.” With implicit faith that her prayer would be answered, she put on her hat and coat, but found It still raining, and said In a much louder voice: “Say, Lord, shut the water off up there.”

The Lapps.

The Lapps, who have been settled for centuries past in the northern parts of the Scandinavian peninsula and Russia, were originally nomads subsisting on their reindeer herds, but they are now settling among the inhabitants of the country and becoming “solid citizens.”

History the Teacher.

History is the great teacher of men. As some one has truly said, the fool will not learn at alt The average man learns from his own experience. The wise man learns from the experience of others. So with the wise nation. The experience oft other nations is the theme of history.

Craze for Possession.

We might enjoy to their utmost many things that we now spoil by the selfish craze of possession. Why should the velvet lawn and strip of woodland cease to be a pleasure and become a source of jealousy and heartache because it is our neighbor’s! —Exchange.

An Ancient Custom.

The amice was a long cloak worn by priests and pilgrims in olden days, and is still preserved In the strips of embroidery worn over the shoulders of Roman Catholic priests and in the white bands of Protestant clergy. V -

Aztecs Had Finely-Cut Jewels.

Among the Aztec treasures of Mexico exquisitely cut emeralds were found, and it is from this source that the magnificent emeralds now formmg part of the royal collection of Spain were supposed to have come.

Fetters Used In Ancient Times.

The use of fetters goes back to ancient times. Fetters were usually made of brass and also in pairs, the word being in the dual number. Iron was occasionally employed for the purpose. (Psalms 105:18; 149:8).

Too Much for Father.

A plain, blunt man has to have a good many daughters to get used to calling the meal they have after getting married a breakfast. —Columbus (O.) Journal.

As Napoleon Viewed Life.

Be happy. Do you allow yourself to be easily affected. Take care of your health. Fear nothing, never doubt complete success. —Napoleon.

Friendship.

Friendship, like gold, needs the add test of adversity to determine its pun ity.—Everitt McNeil.

Ceases to Be a Virtue.

Patience without push is not a virtue, but a vice.—-Youth’s Companion.

WAR TALKS

By UNCLE DAN

Number Four

Military Training Necessary for Safety and Defense. r , “Say, Uncle Dan,” said Billie, mie and I have been looking up about war in the encyclopedia at school. We found that in the war betwgpn Germany and France in 1870-71. Germany lost in killed and wounded 28,000 soldiers while France lost about six times as many, and she lost every battle. We uskecTProfesaor Slocum why this was. He said that the German army was highly trained hnd ably commanded, while the French soldiers were poorly trained; and that their war department was honeycombed with jealousy and politics; that the officers were not much good, and that’s why France lost the war and so many men. What do you think about it, Uncle Dan?”

“Well,” said Uncle Dan, “Professor Slocum is right. By inefficiency France lost that war, together with two of her best provinces—Alsace and Lorraine —and had to pay a billion dollars indemnity money. France today learned her lesson by that sad experience, so she put in universal military training, and as a result, her soldiers now know how to fight and how to protect themselves. They are losing less men in the war than the Germans. France also put politics out of her war department, so that expert authority, Instead of bureaucratic stupidity, now directs the army. The result Is. Franca has one of the best and most efficient armies every assembled, and this shows what thorough training and good leadership means in warfare. This saved France in this crisis, as well as the liberties of the world." "As war is now conducted, there is no place for an untrained man. A body of 10,000 well trained soldiers properly handled could defeat five times their number of raw recruits and do it every time with comparatively small loss to themselves. Proper training aloiie will reduce the death and casualty rate one-third of what it otherwise would be, and right here Is an unanswerable argument for universal military training.

“Our government has no moral right toforqe her men into war service without properly training them for it. To do so is simply murder, hence the frantic effort that is now being made to give her soldiers some training before they are sent to the front. If we are to win this war, it will take trained men to do it, and it will take trained men to win any other war that may come upon us in the future. If we must fight, let us fight to win and not to lose.” “That’s the stuff,” said Billie.

Continuing, Uncle Dan said: “Our government has expended about $300,000.000 to put up cantonments and training stations in order to train the men called by the selective draft. When these men are trained the training stations should be immediately filled with younger men, say those in their nineteenth year, to receive six months of intensive military training along the Tines of the Chamberlain bill. This will be of benefit to them individually. It will do them more good than any other two years of their whole life; it will make them strong, manly, self-reliant, quick to see and quick to act; it will equip them for a successful life. In short, it will rebuild Americas manhood und will also give the government a body of trained men-to draw from in case it is necessary to defend our flag and country. We must settle this question of universal military training immediately, otherwise these training camps may be demolished. The adoption of universal military training will be notice to the world that from then onwe will be prepared to defend ourselves promptly and efficiently, and this will do more to keep sis out of war in the future than anything else we could do.”

“Do you think, brother,” said Mrs. Graham, “that there will ever be another war?” “I have no doubt about it,” said Uncle Dun. “So long as men are selfish, so nations are ambitious to acquire territory, so long as population presses and demands more room, so long as there remains a scramble for world trade —so long wars will be. When the time comes that we reach the high plane for which we hope and dream, when all will recognize the fatherhood of God and the\ [brotherhood of man, then, and then only, will wars cease. When that day* i comes doors will need no locks, banks will need no vaults to protect their treasures, but that day is a long way off. “The only safe and sane plan is to be able to defend ourselves at all times. Therefore, every citizen should Insist that senators and congressmen shall provide for universal military training, so that never again shall the ‘country be caught so completely uniready as this war found us. Fortunately, in this tase, our enemy has been held back, so we have had a few months In which to prepare. This advantage probably will never come again. It is however our salvation today. “Because she was ready, Switzerland Is'an island of'* peace in a sea of war. Safety first Is good, but safety 1 always is better. In strength there is safety. You ,never saw ff tin can tied to the tail of a bulldog. There to a reason.** r

Few Women of Today Work BEndly Used to be that daughters adhered strictly to mothers’ methods of home managenunt. They used certain baking recipes simply because they were favorites of former generations. Times have changed radically. Colleges and clubs have been established for the express purpose of determining just which baking method and baking materials are best. Many domestic scientists devote their lives to research and experimental work. They are constantly testing food products. They conduct exhaustive comparative, tests. They accept and endorse only suchomethods and baking processes as have been found superior through scientific measurement of merit. These decisions are given wide publicity. The result is that the housewife of today produces more wholesome and perfect bakings at less cost than ever before. I have conducted many experiments and have investigated experiments conducted by scores of other domestic .scientists. My own work and the decisions handed down by other pure food specialists and domestic scientists —bring out the evidence that the overwhelming majority employ and advocate the use of one special brand of baking powder —which proves once more the old saying that “there is only one best. I know that this baking powder has won its popularity among experts on merit alone. Because I know that they show no partiality. To obtain their approval a product must possess superiority. And that superiority must cover every phase of baking powder quality of material and action. It must be absolutely sure in results —never fail. It must be perfectly pure —leave no harmful residue in the foods. It must produce the best grade of bakings —cakes, biscuits, etc, that are light, tender and tasty. Finally—it must be a baking powder that is economical in both cost and use. Calumet Baking Powder is the one baking powder that has won the verdict of. superiority and the hearty endorsement of expert domestic scientists—who like myself have proved Calumet’s superexcellence beyond dispute. This superiority “sanctioned” as it is by eminent domestic science authorities certainly clearly indicates that Calumet gives the housewife the greatest of Baking Powder value. NOTE —Miss Costello is already well known to most of the ladies of our city. She is of the Domestic Science Branch of the University of Chicago, a graduate of Lewis Institute, Supervisor of Domestic Science in Public Schools. Special Lecturer on Domestic Arts and Economy, Special Lecturer to the Women’s Clubs. We are publishing a series of her most important articles.

Government Men Will Help You Figure Your Tax

You won’t have to figure out your own income tax all by yourself hereafter. The government is going to send out men to help you. It will be up to you to hunt up these men, who will be sent into every county seat town, and some other towns -besides, to meet the people. Postmasters, bankers, and newspapers will be able to tell you just when the government’s income tax man »will be around, and where to find h:m. He will answer your questions, swear you to the return, take your money, and remove the wrinkles from your brow. Returns of income *ax for 1917 must be made between January 1 and March 2 1918.

“The Government recognizes,” Collector of Internal Revenue Kruyger said today, “that many persons experience a good deal of difficulty in filling out income tax forms It recognizes too, that taxpayers resident at points where collector’s offices are not easily accessible find it is hard to get proper instruction in the law. Next year, when every married person lb ing with wife or husband and having a net income of $2,000, and every unmarried person not the head of a family ar d having a net income of $1,0)0 for the year 1917, must make return of income on the form prescribed. There will be hundreds in every community seeking light on the law, and help in executing their returns. My own and every other collection : district in the nation will be dividled into districts, with the county as the unit, and a government officer informed in the income tax assigned to each district. He will spend hardly less than a week in each county, and in some counties 'a longer time, very likely in the, court house at the county seat town. In cities where there are collector’s branch offices, he will be there, and in other cities possibly at the city hall. My office will in due time ad- ! vise postmasters and bankers and send out notices to the newspapers stating when the officer will be in each county. It will be unnecessary

for prospective taxpayers to ask my office for forms on which to make returns. The officer who visits their county will have them. “It may be stated as a matter of general information that ‘net income’ is the remainder after subtracting expenses from gross income. Personal, family, or living expense is not expense in the meaning of the law, the exemption being allowed to cover such expenses. “The new exemptions of SI,OOO and $2,000 will add tens of thousands to the number of income taxpayers in this district, inasmuch as practically every farmer, merchant, tradesman, professional man and salary worker and a great many wage workers will be required to make return and pay tax. “The law makes it the duty of the taxpayer to seek out the collector. Many people assume that if an income tax form is not sent, or a government officer does not call, they are releived from making report. This is decidedly an error. It is the other way round. The taxpayer has to go to the government and if he doesn’t within the time prescribed, he is a violator • of the law, and the government will go to him with its penalties.”
