The Yankees have always been noted for their Ingenuity and ability to
hasdlc the most Intricate pieces of machinery, so it is not surprising to see
this army expert taking apart and then putting together again, while blind
folded, a machine gun. The photograph was made at an arm training camp.

What We Believa.
If we all acted upon what we all be
lieve, what a different world this would
be. Everyone admits that It Is more;
blessed to give than to. receive. Yet
Instead of seeking happiness by giv
ing of our best to those about us, we
sit waiting for if to be brought to us,
through the kindness of others. We
are like those who are learning to
swim and though they know the wai
ter will benr them up If they follow di
rections, cannot bring themselves to
let go. It Is safe to trust to the
truths that all believe, but so few act
upon. Girl's Companion.
Exciting. .
Johnny was at the concert and ha
was badly bored. His mother was un
easy, for Johnny was disturbing oth-j
ers, but when a girl began to sing "The!
Minstrel Boy" and reached the line "His
father's sword he girded on," Johnny
was alive with excitement '
"You like this, Johnny r said Ms.
mother. "It is" "Be quiet, mother
do," said Johnny Impatiently. "I want
to nee what happens to him when, his
father gets home."
The war is costing the combined
allies more than $30,000,000 an hour.
The daily fate of this huge sum is
simple waste. A shortening of the
war by days or even hours would
mean the redemption of colossal
waste.
' We must bend every financial ef
fort toward., shortening the war.
Every small amount invested by a
child in Thrift Stamps tends to
wards this end. The influence of
every Thrift Stamp purchased is a
little momentum toward earlier vic
tory. Thus a child's savings may be in
strumental in definitely shortening
this war and in saving many times
its own value in money, to say noth
ing of conserving human life.
Encourage your child to invest in
4! interest-bearing Thrift Stamps
instead of merely hoarding his pen
nies in a tin bank.
Thrift Stamps cost 25 cents each
and may be bought at the postoffice,
from your mail carrier and at most
6tores.

Largest Poisonous Reptile.
The Surucucu, known as the bush
master, is the largest poisonous reptile
in the world, and Is fortunately rare
and found only In the depths of the
jungle and swamps,' where man rarely
penetrates. It attains a length of
twelve to fifteen feet ; the color of i
body is rose, or rather yellowish pink,
with brown patterns and tints of
purple. Its bite is almost always fataL
Its fangs are an Inch long and as much
as ten ounces of venom have been ex
tracted.
The Arab as a Neighbor.
The Arab makes a gocd neighbo?.
ffis love of the beautiful in architec
ture is evidenced in a hundred cities
where his handiwork survives.- Every
victor to Granada knows what was
left, behind at the Alhambra. When the
Arab met Rome, he produce'! Palmyra ;
having absorbed the Sassmian dynas
ty of the neo-Persian empire in C37,
the Arab created Bagdad ; tn overrun
ning Spain, he worked manic at Cor
dova and Seciiie.
Reason and Emotion.
What a mysterious conflict that Is
between the ronsoning power, which
keeps pointing out the right road, and
an lll-reguiated emotional faculty,
which seeks to draw one along, the
wrong road. Indulging the wrong hab
its always makes the upward path so
much steoper and the downward path
so much easier. How fortunate that
man Is whose false steps are arrested
by a friendly touch of common sense
disguised in a flash of satire 1 Sir
