',r& NEW WAR TOOLS ADOPTED BY THE BATTLING POWERS l'" "Since the first class European pow­ ers last sent armies against each other la battle science has added many tools to the trade of war. In the little wars fOught on the fringes of the world aotne of these devices have been test- Ad in actual service, but the present conflict will be the first to provide all -of them with a field tor the display o| •their effectiveness. Latest and most attractive as an ob- vJttt at speculative interest Is the al* ship. The two principal types of aerial craft are the Zeppelin dirigibles of the German service and the heavler- than-air flying machines. France places great reliance on the latter and has developed a corps of aviators whose daring has won the world's ad­ miration. Germany has been more se­ cretive about its ZeppelinB.

Today generals and their staffs ride in auto­ mobiles instead of on prancing horses. The other day a cable message told of 30 automobiles filled with German, of­ ficers crossing the French frontier ahead of a large body of cavalry. In an older day cavalry would have been first.

DOG'S NAP TIES UP J STREET CAR SYSTEM Lays Him Down Under a Car to Get Benefit of thelf •'* Shade. * .• New York.--One small dog held up several hundred business folk for 20 minutes and made them that much lata at their offices. Fortunately they were the kind of business people who dont have to arrive before ten o'clock, and a matter of 20 minutes or so doesn't make much difference. The dog, a yellow mongrel, ascended to the tracks of the Brighton Beach railroad at Kings Highway, where the tracks run on an elevated ridge. It was about 9:30 o'clock, and a Manhat­ tan-bound train had halted In the sta­ tion for more cars to be attached.

Kind-hearted women pleaded with the motorman not to start and crush him, and the motorman, a good fellow, promised that he wouldn't. In­ stead he and the crew tried to dislodge the dog. The little fellow whined and crouched lower and refused to be coaxed or driven from his place. They gathered pebbles and threw them at him. When he was hit he yelped, but he didn't move. More trains began to pile up behind the first one, and at last it was abso­ lutely necessary to move them, dog or no dog. So the motorman climbed into his box and started the train very Blowly. When his dogship howled the train stopped, and thus, by starts and Jerks, they finally moved over him. When the last car had passed him and the sun shone down on his back the little dog got up, shook himself and sauntered off to another shady spot, and the belated copimutefy $90- tinuad their journey to. buainefsT w fl. ?• usiy V keenly The national •olNtkuuuae COMPANY yoa tee in Arrow think ei Coca-Cols. QUICK SAVED HUMOR WORSE THAN WASTED GREEN GRASS GROWS AROUND Plaintive Pastoral Lament Comet From Texas, Where Even tho 8heep Get Lost. San Angelo, Tax.--There was a time many years ago when the ranch­ ers of San Angelo sang "Th^ Green Grass Grew All Around, All Around," and It didn't sound at all like a com­ plaint But of late years, and this year particularly, the green grass is in total disrepute. The trouble is that it has grown around everything and is so high that It hides cattle, blocks wagons and I# a beautifully colored nuisance. All of the cross cuts of the fields have been abandoned, for with the grass at its present height and strength when a herder leaves the/ road he may get to another road and he may stay in the grass. Every few hours there is a hunt for some one who has, wandered too far from the edge for some purpose or other and when a searching party goes seeking a howling exile subsequent searching parties are usually formed to find some of the heroes of the tall grass who were originally bent on rescue. Within the last two or three weeks hundreds of lambs and many head of cattle have wandered away in the grass and disappeared and the lowing of the cattle, the bleating of the ewes for their lost lambs and the general conversation of the ranchers who have searched without avail for their stray­ ing property has made the grass as loud as it Is luxurious. The green grass has definitely ceased to be a Joke In and about San Angelo. Toe Small Boy Was Allotted Necessity for Preserving Family Reputa­ tion, and He Did It. lit a banquet of the ministers©# New York, Doctor Johnston of the Morrlsania church, told this story: "One of the members of my church has instilled Into his family the belief that the collection is a vitally impor­ tant part of the service. "Consequently his little boy Thomas never comes to church without his contribution. * "One Sunday, as the elders began to take up the collection at the morning service, Thomas looked along the pew to see if the various members of the family were provided with a contribu­ tion. "Noticing a guest of his slates s<p)#r. ty-handed, he whispered: ; "'Where is your moneyf ^ " 'I have none,' was the reply. "Time was short and the necessity (Mat In a flash the little fellow met the emergency by saying: " 'Here take mine. That'll pay tor you, and I'll get under the seat' . "And, flinging his own coin into her lap, he disappeared under the pew, where he remained until the elder had gone by--and the reputation of the family was saved."--Popular Maga- sine. English StrawberrieSu v.; Strawberries have been known in England from the earliest times, but the luscious berries now grown there are quite a modern variety. Until the fifteenth century none but wild ber­ ries were obtainable, and even the "good strawberries" which according to Shakespeare, grew in the BiBhop of Ely's Holborn garden, can have been only transplanted "wildings." In the eighteenth century an improved va­ riety was cultivated, kpown as the "Hautboy," which greatly pleased the taste of Doctor Johnson; but the mod­ ern berry comes from a cross with a Chilean variety introduced only a cen­ tury ago.
