Here's One Battle You Can Read About Without Getting the Willies
For heaven's sake, don't let the honorable
warlike Japs get hold of this true story 1
The other day, some movie picture fellows
down at San Diego wanted a battle scene $1.50,
--000 worth. They rigged up the old whaler How
head to imitate a German battleship, filled her
with sand and rocks, and lowed her out behind
San Clemente island for the U. S. Pacific flag
ship San Diego and two destroyers to go at.
(Ice! but that old Bowhead did look fierce
rocking to and fro out there, with her rakish
masts defying the enemy, her wooden funnels
WHEN? WHAT? WHY?
It is evident that Uncle Sam has got to fame bonds, and
it is not wholly improbable that he has got to issue the most
delightsome bonds he ever put out in times of peace.
Sooner or later, those allies are coming over again with a
lot of bonds to yield 5V_ per cent, perhaiw more. Will there
not be competition between foreign and American bonds, in
this country 1 If aU. S. bond at 4' g per cent is not worth so
much as an Anglo-oFreneh bond at 83 -„ are we patriotic 1 per
cent's worth'? How high profit has Uncle Sam got to grant in
order to make his bonds sell in competition with the high
profit-paying foreign bonds?
When high profits are to come in the pork, wheat, bond
or any other market, hang on to your money! Observe the
banks!
MUST BE SOMETHING NEW
King Constantino rises to remark that he's going to "de
fend the integrity of Greece at all hazards."
With allied troops using Greek ports and mads and with
that treaty with Servia a mere scrap of paper, Constantino
owes the world his definition of "integrity."

You could almost hear a crew on her yelling
"Hoch der Tirpitz!" and you held your breath
as the mighty San Diego came slipping around
the corner of the island, stripped for action, or
at least partly undressed.
Boom! At"12,000 yards the 8-inch guns of the
San Diego have knocked the villainous Bow
head's wooden aftermast and first smoke stack
into kindling wood. When you rip into a wooden
enemy with 8-inch guns, the effects are usually

THE FINE SPIRIT OF A NEW CHAMP
William M. Johnston, new national tennis champion, on
being interviewed, says:
"I found the weather to my liking and all conditions
combined in my favor. This made it possible for me to ob
tain the best form I have ever reached since I took op tennis.
* * * * In Justice to Maurice McLaughlin, whom I de
feated, I must say that he was slightly off his game."
This modest statement marks tile new boy champion as
good a sportsman as he is a tennis player.
Keep it up through life, son, and* it will bring you more
real satisfaction than all the victories you may win. And be
sides it's the spirit that helps win victories.
MULTUM IN PARVO?
Collier's, with or without outside aid, gets off this real
good one:
The New York Tribune headlines an account of young
Rockefeller'■ thrilling adventures in Colorado. "John I). Jr.
grins in greasy garni." Collier's transposes the sentence to
read, "John 1). Jr. garbs in greasy grin," presenting an ex
ample of the art of saying much in little reduced to the nth
degree.
ROMANCES OF SOME PRESIDENTS
No. 4. Love Tragedy That Made Bucha nan the Only White House Bachelor
James Uuchanan, the only
bachelor president the CnltiJ
States ever had, remained un
wedded all his life becauso of a
love tragedy In hi ß youth.
Buchanan when 28 year* olf
became engaged ot Anne 0 Cole»
man, daughter of a rich resident
of Lancaster, Pa.
The beautiful girl was of a
very sensitive, retiring nature,
although endowed with great HÄ«
termination and pride.
The course of love ran smooth
ly for the engaged couple for
some little time and then certain
people began to gossip about a
very small matter.
As the story passed from mouth
to mouth it became exaggerated
and the sensitive girl grieved
deeply over the matter.
Finally she sent yotint? Bu
chanan a note, breaking off the
engagement.
The matter—so trivial a one —
might have been patched up at
_nic fut"re time, but shortly

much as ills money belongs to
, himself.
Sometimes I think in th>9
i I'tapian days that may come in
the future, a woman may always
, have her income, either earned or
from her own investments. Of
this, she will pay a part toward
I the household expenses—and for
I the children just as the husband
does. Each shall have certain
fixed charges on his income and
each shall have the disposal of
the remainder without any criti
cism from the other.
I know that Dick considers that
he gives me the $200 a month
that has been my allowance alnce
we went to housekeeping. And
J since I lent him that $2,500 I
I know he thinks he has been giv
ing me too much. He says: "If

But, behold! under the salvo of 8-inchcs, the
Bowhead merely gives up mast and funnel and
keeps on floating with her sand and rocks.
The San Diego, as if enraged, dashes upon her
at top speed, pouring in shot from both 8 and o
inch batteries as she comes.
Boom! boom! boom! and the Bowhead is a
mere hulk. But, defiantly, she refuses to sink
and her sand and rocks are still intact. She
takes fire! But this doesn't worry her; she still
hangs on to her sand and rocks. But, darn her!

To clear up and whiten the
skin and secure that charm of
pink and white youthful fresh
ness so much desired by all wom
en you will find It far safer to
rely upon a good face lotion rath
er than powder. To get rid of
that shiny and muddy appearance
In your complexion, dissolve four
ounces of spurmax In one-half
pint hot water, and add two tea
apoonfuls glycerin. Apply this
to your face, neck and arms, rub
bing gently until dry. This lo
tion does not show or rub off like i
powder and Is much better. It Is'
sptondtd for removing tan,
freckles, pimples and sallowness.
You can make a delightful
shampoo for a very trifling coat
If you get from your druggist a
package of canthrox and dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup of hot wa
ter. Pour a little at a time on
the scalp and rub briskly. This
createa an abundance of thick,
white lather that thoroughly dis
solves and removes all d&nd-rutf,
excesa oil and dirt After rins
ing, the hair drtes quickly, with
a flufflneas that makes It seem
heavier than It Is, and takes on
a rich luster and a softneaa that
makes arranging it a pleasure.
she can be conquered by beaching, and so they
put her ashore.
And, as soon as the cheers of victory die awaj,
she drifts off the beach into 15 fathoms of
water and sinks when she gets good and ready.
'Twas a famous victory. The San Die,go gun
ners got some good practice and the movie folks
got a furious battle scene, as we'll see later in
Tacoma, maybe.
What's that? You want to know why the
sand and rocks—Why, they were put in to keep
the Bowhead from flying away, or sinking at
first fire!
