Aid From Every Side Educational institutions have altered their courses to suit the desires of disabled soldiers applying for entrance. Noivcollegiate courses are being offered, in order to meet the requirements of students without sufficient preparation for work of regular college grade. Entire new sub

jects have been introduced into the curriculum. One state college is providing training for camp cooks which in that particular locality offers good openings, as the demand is large and the pay good. State ' legislatures have made appropriations sufficiently large to cover all expenses of tuition and other fees of disabled service men. Employers advertise for the services of discharged disabled men, not with the idea of exploitation, but because of their enlarged vision and broader experiences gained through their service, makes them satisfactory employers. Workers in the various industrial and corn-

is the only one necessary to mention. That is the cost of the ice. Ice is already so high that few of us can contemplate putting it in the attic, and even if we did install the ice-box per directions we would have to sweat so paying for the ice that all the good of the low temperature would be lost. It would be much simpler if some scientifically inclined person would invent some pills such as Alice-in-Wonderland took, which would make people small enough so they could creep into the family ice-box along with the milk and butter, or better still if some way could be found to lower

the price of ids, so that anyone who feels the heat ;

could afford am extra cake to sit on while he earned his daily bread.

How to Save Ice Suggestions for cutting down the ice bill are given by E. J- O'Malley, deputy commissioner of public markets for New York City, in the New York Sun, as follows : Avoid opening icebox as much as possible; cold air escapes quickly and melts ice through the inrush of warm air. Wrapping See on top and sides in newspaper will prevent metage. Cold air goes down through icebox ; it is therefore unnecessary to have ice exposed to air whisn box is open on top. Cool iced tea and iced drinks of all kinds by putting bottles in icebox and not against ice, as this melts ice quickly. Don't put chopped ice in drinks; this keeps icebox open and melts ice very quickly.

mercial establishments in which disabled men one.third reater in a small piece of ice on

have been placed have almost universally welcomed the opportunity of assisting them by kind

ness and consideration in their efforts to retrain and reestablish themselves in the work they have undertaken, as self-reliant, independent, self-respecting American citizens. The federal board for vocational education, whose central office is located at 200 New Jersey Ave., Washington, is the administrative agency for the reeducation of the. returned soldier. Any desired information on the subject may be obtained by writing to that address.

account of surrounding air space. For instance, a twenty-five-cent piece of ice will last three days to a fifteen-cent piece one day. Do not accept ice with a hole in center. This will 'melt three times as quickly.

The L -oiness Course at Earlham College Sensing a change in the educational horizon, Earlham college plans to offer cources in business and business administration next semester.

Accompanying the announcement of the course is a statement of President Edwards in -which he points out that colleges must conform to changes in educational demands. The idea of education has undergone a radical change in the last generation. Formerly edu

cation consisted solely in acquiring part of the:

day by day by discoveries and research. Education was academic to a certain degree. Today education has broadened its scope to include many subjects which formerly could be acquired only by experience. Education in the fundamental principles of business, its methods and problems trains the mind and prepares for life. The war taught the value of business and showed the great necessity of having men adequately trained in schools to handle gigantic commercial and industrial problems. Earlham is taking a step in the right direction in widening its curriculum by the introduction of these courses. The community hopes that many of its young men will take advantage of the opportunity that has been given them.

The Attic Philosopher Alexander Graham Bell has beaten the weather man. He placed a big refrigerator, filled with ice and salt, in his attic and led the cold air down through an asbestos covered pipe into a room below. He keeps the doors of this room closed and the windows opened from the top a little to permit the exit of the warm air. The result has been a temperature of 65 degrees in this room when the mercury outside registered 100. It is a very simple solution of a very old difficulty. Only two or three things stand in the way of everybody's doing it. The first of these

War--As We Know It

From the Stars and Stripes. THE Flag on Ehrenbreitsteln may weather a few more summers, but this summer is the last that the A. E. F., as most of us know it, will sweat through. We've finished. And we have the satisfaction of knowing mat we did a good job and we're glad to quit. But can we carry the lesson home? Print can't do It. Photographs can't do it. Many will come to Belleau Wood, people who have read all about the great war. Already worn paths scar that once pathless hell. Those people will see the twisted trees. But they won't see the sprawling forms beneath them. They will see the bullet-bitten rocks. But they can never visualize the trembling horror of lying in those crevices while the German guns spat their death through the grass. Here and there they may pick up an empty shell. But the fingerless hand protruding from the rotting khaki blouse has been graciously buried beneath a neat white cross. The horror has been hallowed. The misery has become picturesque, the murder turned to romance. And those little villages in the valleys! Their strange, ai windows look out across fresh meadows now like staring blinded eyes. They are so still, so deathly stillnot a single wisp of friendly smoke,, no human color,, only a r8riah patch perhaps, where some unremembering bush

flaunts its green branch across the gray. This cannot touch the tourist. The home folk can

never feel it beside their friendly hearths. Nobody under j

God's great, tranquil skies can tell of the rottenness of war but the men who suffered through it. Upon them rests a solemn duty. They must go home and choke the coward Jingo who masks himself behind his false and blatant patriotism, and the merchantpolitician, not content with stuffing his home coffers till they burst but anxious to barter the blood of his coun-i try's young manhood for new places in the sun! The Prussian guardsman died hard, fighting for such a place. The men in frock coats who make the laws never had to stand up against him. They never took a machine gun neat or saw a barrage roll down, stop and then uncurtain a wall of shrieking steel. We know what the Prussian guardsman meanshis code, his cold courage and the blind patriotism that sent him forward, granting none the right to live but those who wore his uniform. We know, but we cannot give that knowledge to others. But upon it we can act. We can help build a league of nations with such sinews of war and such conscience for peace that no one will da-e oppose it. If we dor.'t, the blood will be on our own foolish beads, which, by the grace of God, chance, or some Prussian guardsman's poor aim, are Mill on our foolish shoulders. :

ij lu nuuiyui , nave yuu maue up your mid?" The spark of manhood in Humphrey died out. "Yes," he replied weakly. "Say. 'Yes, Sir!' " And thus Humphrey passed into the servitude of Wolf Larsen, the Sea Wolf. His blinking eyes, half revealing and half concealing his terror, surveyed his master and thus appraised

him: Massive of build, like a huge:

gorilla; with a strength, savage and ferocious, features of no evil stamp; eyes of baffling proteau gray, sometimes as chill as an Arctic landscape, sometimes all aglow with love-lights intense, masculine and compelling which at the same time facinated and

dominated women until they surrend er in a gladness of joy and of relief and sacrifice." His creed, the mighty will which engined Wolf Larsen, was short. "Life is a mess," he declared. "The big eat the little that they may continue to move; the strong eat the weak that they may retain their strength. The lucky eat the most and move the longest, that is all." His company on shipboard: seamen sodden and sullen by drink, more animal than human; a group of seal hunters, wild reckless nomads, ignorant of an ordered world all slaves in body and spirit to the Sea Wolf. Yet there was a gentle side, to Wolf Larsen. He was no ignorant cave man. He could discuss literature with "Hump," roll over his lips the poetic glories of Shelley and Brown

ing, argue the sciences with amazing fluency and be disarmingly charming at times. As the days rolled on and murder

ous quarrels made the hours hideous, Humphrey's backbone gradually stiffened. He dreamed of killing the Sea Wolf. But Larsen fascinated him and like some splendid animal, some dangerous beast, held him in a spell. He knew the world should be rid of such a monster, yet Larsen's eyes compelled obedience. Day by day, with not a gleam of graciousness to break the orgy of brutishness, this tragic drama went on. Humphrey despaired of even a gleam of sunshine. Suddenly fate intervened in the person of Maude Brewster. Like Humphrey, she came to the Ghost from the sea, saved from a wrecked liner. Like Humphrey, she expected to be put aboard a passing vessel. But no! The Sea Wolf had other plans. She was added to the crew as Humphrey was, and likewise "for the good of her soul." Maude received the news in wonderment. What kind of a man was this mocking master cf the Ghost?

She was soon to find out. The cook had offended Larsen. A rope was coiled around the offender and he was i.st overboard in the wake of the ship. A shark rushed for him and Larsen ordered him pulled in. Despite the maddened haste, the shark in the final rush tore away the foot of the victim. "The shark was not in the reckoning. Miss Brewster." said the Sea Wolf smilingly. "It was shall we ay an act of Providence." This scene convinced Humphrey that he must kill Wolf Larsen. His courage flared up so brightly that he actually threatened to murder him. The Sea Wolf barked a whimsical guffaw: "Bravo, Hump, you do me proud. I like you the better for it." Humphrey winced. He confided his resolution to Maude, with whom he had fallen in love. She counselled against it, protesting that moral courage always defeats brute force, but she failed to convince him. He knew the Sea Wolf too well. The dancing lights in Wolf Larsen's eyes when he looked into Maude's warned Humphrey that some day the storm would break. And it did. In the midst of the night, he rushed into Maude's Cabin to find her in the crushing embrace of Wolf Larsen.

Dinner Stories

Ethelbert Stewart. Ethelbert Stewart, director of investigations and inspections of the U. S. department of labor, has been appointed delegate to London at a conference to plan an international peace labor conference to be held in Washington.

A young lady took down the re

was in use. "I just put a pan of beans on for dinner," she heard one woman inform another. She hung up the receiver and waited. Three times she tried the line, and then exasperated, she broke ino the conversation. "Madam, I smell your beans burning." All she heard was an excited "Good--bye," and the click of the receiver upon the hook. Then the young lady put in her call.

An old colored man at Jefferson City caught a two-pound catfish and was so well satisfied with bis skill as a fisherman that he lay down and took a nap, with the fish beside him. Another smoke came along soon after, picked up the fish and left a halfpound one in its place. When the colored man woke up, the first thing his eyes sought was the fish, and it took him several seconds to realize

clicked sharply. Then silence.

"Why don't you shoot?" coolly remarked the Wolf. Humphrey could not speak. "Hump," said the Sea Wolf slowly, "You can't do it. And after all I have taught you. You know that I would kill an unarmed man as readily as I would smoke a cigar. Bah! I had expected the better things of vou. Hump." Humphrey slowly lowered the gun. The Ghost's presence was explained calmly by the Sea Wolf. He was caught in a net he had set for his hated brother, "Death" Larsen, his crew were taken away and he was left alone. Pacific storms did the rest. A strange weariness in the Sea Wolf's bearing, a hesitant, pre-occu-pied air about him puzzled Humphrey. A few days later, he again summoned courage to put him out of the way. But this time he saw Wolf Larsen slowly making his way down the deck, his quivering finger tips groping for the hand rails. Wolf Larsen was blind! No need to kill him. Maude and Humphrey determined to escape by repairing the Ghost, but the Sea Wolf willed otherwise. Blind and helpless as he was, he craftily contrived to ruin Humphrey's work, determined they should all die together, so his grim revenge would be complete. Fiendish cunning and in-

mor on the brain, Humphrey ventured too near one day. Suddenly the Sea Wolf's stupor passed. The steel-like fingers gripped Humphrey's throat. The trap had sprung. Maude leaped into action, tearing at Larsen's hands. But for once the Sea Wolf's tremendous will could not spur his weakened body. His fingers twitched and then relapsed and Humphrey was released. "That was the last play of the Wolf," said Larsen with his twisted smile. "I'd like to have done for you first, Hump. I thought I had that much left in me." And so Wolf Larsen faded into un consciousness, a pitiful ending for this grim sea murderer who pictured himself roaring to death in a blaze of tumult and evil splendor. Soon the restored Ghost embraced the waves again, freighted with hap

ALLIED WARSHIPS

ORDERED TO FIUME

(By Associated Press) PARIS, July 12. Three allied warships, one each from the American, British, and French navies have been ordered to proceed to Flume, where there have been disorders recently between Italian troops and other elements in the force of occupation. The situation at Flume, however, is reported to be more quiet.

During the last few months of the war as many as 200,000 American soldiers passed through England in a month.

Coastwise Shipping Is Held Up By Strike NEW YORK July 12 Several coastwise steamers have been prevented from sailing and others due to leave tomorrow will be tied up unless they are able to replace the striking firemen, water tenders and oilers, who struck yesterday for a wage increase of fifteen dollars a month. Officials of the International Seamen's union, with which the strikers' organizations are affiliated, estimated that three thousand men are directly affected and that they would be Joined by the seamen, cooks, stewarts, engineers and mates. Should the claims of the union men be made good, about forty thousand men will walk out, paralyzing coastwise shipping. Vessels operated by the United States shipping board are not affected. Representatives of engine room and deck forces will enter a final series of conferences in Washington

with the officials of the shipping board today. At union headquarters here it was said that unless the shipping board acceded to the men's demands the crews of government operated ships would follow the men on the privately owned ships.

Czech-Slovak Soldiers To Parade In East

(Bv Associated Press) SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 12. The one thousand Czecho-Slovak soldiers who arrived here a week ago from Vladivostok and have been guests at Camp Kearney, were ready to leave today for the east cn route to their homes in Europe. The veterans of the Russian and Siberian campaigns will go firtt to Washington and after a review in that city, will embark at Newport News, Va., for France. The Czecho-Slovak commission which accompanied the battalion from Siberia left San Diego for Washington yesterday. Two French scientists contend that a raw food diet increases the white blood corpuscles, which play an imuortant part in combating disease germs.

YOUR VOICE

If I would know a man as he is, I ask him to talk with me. For I would not only bring Into my mind the thoughts that flow from his, but I would listen to his voice. For in the inflections of a voice there is every quality of a man's true character. There is nothing quite so marvelous as the human voice, especially when It Is the expression of worthy thoughts and is backed by solid purpose. Look a child in the face and, without the least change of facial expression, throw harshness into your voice, and the child will cry out hurt and stunned in Its delicate nature. Speak kindly to a strange dog and he will wag his tail. Even the dumb animals have great intelligence when it comes to weighing character thru the sound of the human voice. There is nothing more fascinating or inspiring about a genuine person than his voice. It is able to attract or repel to draw or send away. It's the voice that invites and entertains. I think of the voices of those I love as the choicest music in my memory. I classify each voice each faintest inflection and I am inspired by each in turn. Your voice may be trained. Anyone may have a beautiful and pleasant voice. So Cultivate a pleasing voice. Speak kindly but first be kindly, and then you cannot help but speak that way. Talk little, but make that little much. r And do not try deception for your voice will give you away. It reveals, explains, goes into detail aa to what you actually are. Live the thoughts that make up the kindly voice.
