A PSYCHOLOGICAL ARMY Science, it appears, is to determine promotions in the now army. No Icns-. r will a captain, in need of a sergeant, say: "Oh, rive it to Bill Jones. Jb-s a good old scout, and has a head on him and the boys have confidence in h:m." "Instead, the psychologists, and th- psychopaths and the psychiatrists ; r,d the other descendants of Psyche will take hold of Bill Jones and put the calipers on him, and measure the distance from the lobe of the left car to the iUvx of th cranium and decide whether he shall be a sergeant or a private, a 1 omber or a trench digger. It seems rather rough on Bill, because he has no voice in deciding whether the men who examine him are fit to be rated as "svcbologists or should be driving a team.

TATTIXG IS SLACKING

Consternation reigned emong the Red Cross workers at the headquarters shops Monday. There was much subdued feeling evident. Angry glances wore cast. Sharp whispers were heard. Busy -women showed signs of irrifa-

t i

-n and nervousness. The general atmosphere of harmony in the headouart-

fis was lost. What was the cause? Is there a German spy trying to put pound, d glass in the bandages? Is there a plan to put an irritating powder in th" night shirts of the wounded soldiers? No, gonri r, a(if.r it ia not nuit,3 that bad but a voman hail como to hoad r;rarters 'WITH HER TATTING, to enjoy the companionship of the hustling R d Cross workers without doing her bit. No ono had the courace to subdue l.or, but the ladies will let it be known that no "slacker work" goes at any of th" Red Cross shops, says the Brazil (lnd.) Times.

DO THE DEAD KNOW? Do the dead know anything? We hear a chorus of indirnar.t .iff irma'.ivo Certainly they know things, rdse th entire srueure of rolicious f .chir;;: falls fat. Very well, the dead do know things. We be'iove this. The fact that ib.oir physical organs for hearing, seeint, feelinc, taking and r mellinz have been destroyed does not necessarily rob the dead of tho facul'y of knowing.
