BULLETS OF HAMBURG. Follow that boy you saw on the street this bright, cheery morning. Do you know he was one of the first to enlist? Follow him as he entrains with his troop what sousing cheers they got: See him hurrying up the plank of the transport they're warping out to midstream now. Oli, the cheers and smiles and tears. But what is that awful din you hear? the hum of many machines, tht chug of ten thousand punches, the rasp of countless lathes? In the bur-r of them all can't you hear the Hymn of Hate? Can't you see those thousands of feverish hands, nerved on and on to speed the no farious industry of war? Of course you know why such haste is made. The place is Hamburg Little brass shells capped with steel-nosed bullets, sharp-pointed, ?.rc being hurried through with break-neck haste to the rhythm of that hymn tc stop that boy you saw this morning. Will they do it? Again he's at the front, in the trench fevered with concern just before the charge. He's over the top with the first a hundred whizzed past him but one of those little steel-nosed bullets found its mark. Now time is everything. Hurry, pick him up, get him hack: That bullet is doing its job well but a moment may save him, that boy you saw on the street this morning. Maybe that bullet can't succeed for maybe it found your dollar in the way- Your dollar brought the stretcher to him, your dollar made the tourni quet that stopped the blood, your dollar took him back to the base, your dollar probed and found the little steel-nosed bullet YOUR DOLLAR WAS IN THE WAY. e Now you have a dollar following close behind that boy you saw this morning ! ' Have you a dollar waiting for him at the front to get in the way of the sharp-nosed bullet of Hamburg? Do you want to know how your dollar can 'follow that boy how it can take that, stretcher to him when the bullet of Hamburg has found its mark? Subscribe to the Red Cross: That's the way! "Fight or Give" is our Battle Cry! 1 The Red Cross takes the stretcher for you over the top into No Man's Land and brings back that boy you saw this morning. Only a dollar, but it can do the mightiest work in the world today. The Red Cross does not require field service of its members or subscriber?. ' All it asks is that you, too, do your bit and help the boy that fell in Xo Man's LandPresident Wilson, himself, is president of the "Red Cross and asks that one million men and women enroll their names as subscribers to the Red Cross at $1, ?2, $3, HO, $lf0, $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000 He does not ask that you do anything else but pay your subscription 8Ed then if you wish to secure 10, 25 or 100 new subscribers, do so if you wish- No further service in the field or elsewhere will be required. In this hour of the nation's and all the world's need, every American who loves hi3 country and his fellow men asks: "What can I do? Where can I help?"

For stalwart youth the path of duty is plain. Our country and humanity need Men to fight and die for them. Yet of our 100,000,000 only a small fraction now and but a tithe at the most, or worst, can thus serve. For all who cannot enlist to seek "the great prize of death in battle" or who are

not needed in those ranks, as yet, there is another enlistment. It is under the banner of the Red Cross. Enlisting there all, old or young, man or woman or tender child, can proudly say: "I too am serving humanity and my country." "I too am deserving well of the Republic." This is Red Cross week and we ask that you do this by becoming a supporter of the Red Cross. Send your cash or check today $3, $10, $100, $1,000, $10,000 or $100,00o give to your very uttermost.

Krom all the wreckage of years agone there stands the one prominent -rurvivor. the circus, ever perennial. As flamboyant as ever are its posters. There is a little more toning in the press agent's copy, for the old one has passed to the heaven of the Barnums and the Baileys. Yet the parade, the Hons, the tigers, tho tents, the red lemonade, the popcorn,,jhe after-show concert, the acrobats, the reserved seats, the ringmaster, the aerial artists, perform as they did before. Passing years have not taken the genuineness from the clown'- laughter. In the sideshow the bearded lady, the fat man, the wild man, the snake charmer, the living skeleton, and now and anon ;he shell game artist ply their trade as they did before.

Just a dainty as they ever were are the little riding ladies- The cowboys are as saddle broke as ever, and horses, whether from beyond the Platte or distant Arabia, go around the ring in the same gallant fashion. Nothing is changed. Time has lost its measure if this infinite thing has, such a device as far as the circus is concerned. Little boys and girls ?i-ow up into big men and women, they become mammas and papas; maidens and youths become grandparents, and the old folk seek rest in the churchyard.

Youth, beauty, chivalry and wealth bow before time, but not this thing. You are again In the days of your father and mother when the circus is In town.

GIVE THEM CREDENTIALS.

War time produces some strange phenomena. Among them may be

classified the "confidential assistants" to cabinet officers, who are being

named without special authority of law, without confirmation or other refer

ence to the senate, but who with curious regard for another statute are

paid at the rate of one dollar per year, inasmuch as it is forbidden that anyone shall work for the government for nothing. Appointed without war

rant of law, exercising functions which no statute prescribes, immune to impeachment or other repressive or admonitory force, these officials may

commit some act which will be of incalculable damage. If their employment is necessary or desirable, why is not congress asked to give them legal status? The administration has not slvown itself modest in demanding

tlsinss which it wants in other lines. Why not ask congress to authorzie

the establishment of these positions, and at the same time tell congress

why .they are necessary?

LADIES' WAIST. By Anabel Worthington.

THE CIRCUS!

Out of all this complexity of modernity, this age of speed, strife and chaos, this day when changing conditions recognize no brother if it is something that persists from a decade or two back, the one institution that disdainfully ignores the whirligig of time, that is as fascinating in this generation as it was in the last, that boastfully continues in its delightful oldfashioned way, is the circus. It never grow3 old. Unchanged in fifty years, It is as intransmutable as gold. We long ago forsook the family surrey. The Punch and Judy show i3 a ghost of the centuries it. enlivened. The camp meeting and basket dinner, touched off with the silver- tongued preacher, are things of the past. A county fair is one in name only. Huskin' bees, strawberry festivals, bicycle

type of figure from the very slender to thi very large No. S304 is as plain and practical a waist as any one could desire. The large pointed collar is the most interesting part of the whole waist, for it looks not unlike a Puritan 'kerchief. Tb waist fastens at the centre front with three large buttons. There is a slight amount of fulness where the fronts ara gathered to the back, which extends over in shallow yoke effect. Short aleeves will be very comfortable, but the long onea finished with a deep cuff and narrow turnback are the most favored style thia sea sou. The waist may be developed in any of the pretty figured silks, with the collar and cuffs of plain materials. The waist pattern, No. S304, is cut ia sizes 3d to 42 inches bust measure. Ths 3tl inch size requires yards of 27 inch goods, or 1 yards of 3S inch, or 1 yards of 40 inch, with yard of 32 inch contrasting material.

Trim enough to suit the most fastidious To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to of women and becoming to almost any the office of this publication.
