Commissary wagons were en route
| to a site back of the lines when the
1 German swooped down and attacked
| the wagon train with a machine gun,
flying low to make his aim certain.
'The panic-stricken mules caused con
fusion and the drivers and soldiers
had their hands full to control the
animals. The young soldier leaped
from a wagon as the enemy flier
came near, and shot him. The ma
chine fell near by.
A German lieutenant and eighteen
men who were captured by the
Americans were questioned concern
ing the remainder of the batttalion.
The officer replied:
“Those eighteen are all that are
alive.” The lieutenant said the
speed of the Americans was the big
gest surprise of his army experience.
He said the Americans outclassed
the Germans when the latter were at
tacking the Russians and added that
he was glad to be a prisoner.

ESKIMOS ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
Have No Fear of Death, Are Childlike
in Nature, Humorous and
Inquisitive.
In Ilerschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer, the Eskimos had a sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety. They had an idea that wdien ^
the sun came back its movements,
were directed by an invisible power, I
but they had no tangible conception of |
a God. They had no belief in a future >
life, either of reward or punishment
Today they are religious, truthful, kind
to their children and to the aged. They
are ambitious to learn; they are prac
ticai, extremely industrious, sanitary
in their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu-1
berculosis is quite common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading, '
good workers on land, water and Ice, J
and take excellent care of their house-,
hold effects. Tools, if broken, are
neatly repaired. When at Herschei
Island or Fort McPherson they eat the
white man’s food with great relish. In,
summer they eat their fish and blubber,
ruw and in winter frozen.
The Eskimos have no fear of death;,
if told that death is approaching they|
will respond with a complacent smile.;
They are a very happy people. Their
natures are childlike and they do not
continue in the same frame of mind
for two minutes at. a time. They are
good-natured and humorous and very
inquisitive. Their emotions are sud-.
den and short-lived—uproariously hap-1
py one moment and almost crying the
next. i
SWIM TEN FEET A SECOND
Interesting Faits Developed in Scien
tific Study of Habits
of Fish.
The speed at which fish can swim
is summarized by the Scientific Amer
ican from recent studies as follows: |
“A Belgian authority, G. Denil, while
studying fishways, concluded that aal
mon could swim at a speed of 3.15 me
ters a second for at least 14 meters.
A Canadian, G. P. Napier, from inves-;
tigations in the Frazer river, expressed
the opinion that the limiting velocity
of a steady stream up which a sockeye
salmon could swim a very short dis
tance was between six and seven miles
an hour. Finally, H. von Bayer of the
United States bureau of Ssheries de
clared that the velocity of the current
in fishways should not exceed ten feet
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at independently, are substan
tially in agreement. From his own
studies on fishways in Massachusetts
Emerson Stringham found that a com
mon species of alewife could swim for
at least a few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet a second, about the
limit for fishways.”
Get Out of the Rut.
Have you ever stopped to consider
how much like a machine you are be
coming?
True, your daily duties are perform
ed in a way which seems to suit the
boss, but you jog on in the same old
way, day in and day out, with move
ments purely mechanical.
How long do you figure that you cat
continue to make good by this course?
Ever think of changing the methods
used by you for the past several
years, and which lifted you out of the
ranks of the ordinary at the time you
adopted them, but which are passe at
the present time?
Oh, you are becoming too prosaic.
There is not enough variety in your
life.
Seek outdoor exercise; you need it,
and you should mingle with men of
up-to-date ideas; you should visit oth
er establishments in your line of work :
and see how things are being done
there.
You are in a rut.
Get out before it is too late.

Every-Day Courage.
The courage of the rush forward, a
moment of high purpose born of a
sudden impulse, that is one sort. Then
| there is the stick-to-it courage, and
1 that is of great value. Still an
i other is the simple resolution to do
! the obvious right and best thing at the
moment, without demur or timid de
: lay, and that is the most important
of all.
The quiet courage of every day,
that does its best hour by hour, and I
accepts as part of the day’s work
i the losses and penalties that the
! steadfast doing right must often
| bring—this is the highest courage of
all. It wins no medals, it is never
j lauded as heroism, even its posses
sors seldom think of it as bravery
or fortitude, yet it is the quality which
keeps the moral world from defeat,
and makes the common life of the com
mon people strong and safe.
Japanese Village.
Few people realize that in the United
States there Is a village composed en
i tirely of Japanese, who live their lives
j just as they did before leaving the
i Flowery Kingdom. This quaint spot
, of Interest is north of the long pier,
■ a mile from Santa Monica. Here is
j the home of a number of Japanese
fishermen. Their native dress, food
| and the daily routine of their lives are
carried out as though the little vil
lage were on the fur shore of Nippon.
On Sundays are to be seen the native
sports of the Japanese. The geisha
I girls serve tea and bonbons to visit-1
. ors, while the young men display their
i prowess at wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
other oriental pastimes.

THE HOUSEWIFE’S SCRAPBOOK.
The maximum allowance of wheat
at present should be one and a half
pounds a week for each person. The
patriotic housewife will use less.
Macaroni, spaghetti and farina are
wheat products and should not be
used as substitutes.
To save meat eat vegetables. They
are plentiful- and comphrativel
cheap. Two pounds of meat, includ
ing poultry is the weekly allowance
per person prescribed by the Food
Administration, and this should con
sist of pork, bacon, ham and saus
ages rather than beef.
Nuts contain good body building
material and make a good substi
tute for meat. An appetizing warm
weather dish can be made by com
bining nuts and rice. Boil .ialf a
cup of rice, melt one and a half ta
blespoonfuls of fat, stir in one and a
half tablespoonsful of flour and add
one and a half cups of milk (or milk
and water.) Stir over fire until it
thickens. Mix the boiled rice with a
cupful of chopped peanuts and the
sauce. Season with a teaspoonful of
salt and a quarter teaspoon of pap
rika. Pour it into a greased baking
dish and bake twenty minutes.
To simply thicken a mixture eggs
need not be beaten separately. Beat
only until the yolks and whites are
well mixed. wner usea to create
lightness beat the whites until very j
light and the yolks until thick and
light colored.
To remove the objectionable, taste
of mutton or beef drippings when1
used in pie crust beat them to a
cream with one teaspoon baking pow
der and juice of half a lemon. I
To boil fish and discard the wat’r
is wasteful. It will make an appe
tizing soup or chowder.
Vegetables with a strong flavor,
such as cabbage and onions, should
be cooked in a large quantity of wa- j
ter. Have the kettle uncovered.
Baked fish should be served with
Hollandaise or drawn butter sauce.
Have cold slaw or sliced tomatoes,
mashed potatoes and peas with bak
ed fish. i
If you are conserving ice try
keeping the butter in a bowl of wa
ter. Cover the butter with a piece
of muslin the edges of , which should
rest in the water in the outer vessel.
To set brown or tan color soak the
article to be washed for ten minutes
in a pail of water to which has been
added a cupful of vinegar. Black or
black and white goods should be
soaked in strong salt water for ten
minutes before washing.
