Nathaniel Davis Ayer, Jr.,
Enlists, Even Though It
Breaks Mamma's Heart,
but Decides to Wait for
Next Regiment.
Nathaniel Dnvls Aver, Jr.. enlisted and
started to war against hi" mother's
wishes. The parting una fad, but through
the tears came the words of a brave
lighting man. 'Mamma, I know It hrenks
jour heart to see me go, and It breaks
mine, too, but what would the world
think of me If 1 wore to Irt the glory
of England be ttampled In the dust white
I stayed home with Nana?"
"Nana" Is the mirse and she cried too,
but a "sojer" man must be htrd as nails
and not let a woman's obs affect him.
Nathaniel Davis Aer, Jr., chose Eng
land as a country nt to tight far simply
because hr didn't happen to be In another
land. With his mnnini-i, who is the
daughter of Mr and Mrs William H.
McF.uldon, of Ctletislde, and papa, who Is
Nat D. Ajer, a composer, and "Nana"
he went to London, where ' papa' was to
do some work.

Mr i ilB

not the recruiting ofTlcer said It was abso
lutely necessary to give the full name In
case the applicant chanced to be wounded
In battle.
As he was about to Join his regiment
for the front, the "sojer's" papa took
him nsldo and said:
"Son, I fear It Is my duty to tell you
that jou arc saying goodbye to your
parents for the last time. When you
are wounded nnd left to die there on the
cold battlefield, and when night comes
and there nte no lights, no dinner, and
no mnmnm or 'Nana' to say 'night' to
you, only the black darkness and tho
cruel winds "
Hut that was nil. Father's advice was
Interrupted by:
"Htddv, they don't need me yet, and
I think I'll stay here until tho next regi
ment goes."

JEWS CELEBRATE
DAY OF ATONEMENT
THE WORLD OVER
Religious Holy Day Noted
on European Battlefields as
Well as in the Local
Synagogues.
THE BLASTS OF "SCHOFAR" PROCLAIM END OF FAST
STUNG!
A fly buzzed all about
To fiml a passage out;
Then on the window sill
A minute stood quite still
I thought he was asleep
And caught him just to keep;
He looked n fine a fellow
With rings of black and yellow.
He scolded dreadfully
And stuck a pin in me.
I dropped him pretty quick;
My hand was awful sick.
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
ONCE upon a time, the leaves of
the silver poplar were green
both top and bottom just like
the leaves of all other trees and the
poplar tree was a nice proper tree just
like all other tree-.
Then something happened. Some
thing usually does you know when
things are entirely too nice and
proper
One day, when the poplar leaves
"were plavim; with the breezes, one
little breeze s.tul. "Oh. you should sec
the trees in other countries as we do.
Sometimes the leaves are gray, some
times pale green and some arc
brighter colors."
"Wouldn't that be queer?" said one
of the leave?.
"I think I'd like it" said another
"I'm tired of being plain green like all
other leaves "
And though the breeze laughed at
them, they wouldn't play because thc
kept thinking all the time about their
color.
And the more they thought, the
worse it seemed to be green, just plain
green, .ill their lives.
"Isn't it horrid to be just a phin
green leaf5" -aid one. "I'm so tired of
being green." said another. .ill fin.ilh
they forgot that the sky was blue
and the sun golden all they could
remember was their common green
color.
At last the fairies who lived in the
tree got tired of their complaining,
and the fairy queen said- "If vou
really wish to chance your color jou
may do so. but remember you can
never change back to the beautiful
green color you now are."
The leave-, all laughed and declared
they never, never, never wanted to be
green again, so the fairy painters set
to work with their magic p.iint and
soon the leave- were grayish green
on top and silver underneath
When all w.i- done and the paints
careful1 put away the leaves shrok
themselves dry and be.;an to lock
around. I

"Aren't we beautiful!" they exclaim
ed as they primped and preened in the
sunshine.
"Now that you like your color,"
said the breezes, "conic and play with
us again "

"Oh, no " -a-d the leaves loftily,
"we don't care to play with you any
more We like to have vou come and
see us, for vou turn and twist us so
we can see all our pretty colors, but
we couldn't just common play any
more, we are too line for that'"
So the breezes came and stayed a
little while and swayed and twisted
the leaves so that the silver linings
glistened in the sunshine then they
went and played and frolicked in the
oaks and maples with the leaves who
were not o dressed up.
And ever since then, the poplar
leaves have been green and silver, but
the leaves are so stiff and vain that the
fairies and brccces play in the old
green trees.

TANGO FOOT NEW MALADY
Cases of Modern Pedal Disorder Con
tinually Reported Now.
Vnnous pertons have been learning of
late that there are dlverslonal as well as
vocational maladies and that while with
due discretion It Is quite possible to avoid
' housemaid's knee." "miner's elbow" and
"writer's cramp," It may be the easiest
tiling in the world If one attempts to
keep prce with modern social reijuire
m nts t- achlew the "tango foot."
New coses of this ultia-modern pedal
disorder are continuiillv being reported,
nnd ns these things become fashionable,
jut ab a few ears ago every common
' N-ad cold" was sublimated by the vic
tim Into a case of the "grip," It Is alto
g.thri probable that thousands of corns,
bunions, stone bruises, fallen nrches,
ankle sprains and enlarged and rheu
matic toe Joints will be reported proudly
as ' tango foot." To such harmless and
self.gratlfylng euphemisms is mankind led
t, humnn vanity and the craving for
thoroughly 'up-to-date" processes. Nev
ertheless, in spite of all tho Inevitable
Perversions, exaggerations nnd nlmlable
cv.iltatlons. there Is a genuine and very
definite pedal condition known as the
tnn-o foot," and It Is well that ever
nature. It Is, of course, produced by the condi
tions nt modern dancing, not only the
tango, hut the maxlNe and the hesitation
waltz nnd possibl In a moderate degree
the one-step Hut urh a thing, natural
l, cannot be regarded with complete re
spect unless It Is equipped with an Im
posing descriptive vocabulary fortunate
ly the Scientific American enlightens the j
world as to the xnct nature of "tango
foot." The awed dancer Is hereby In
formed that his or her terpslchorean ac- .

stunt strain on the tibialis anticus. the
extensor proprlus hAlluels and the ex
tensor longus dlgitnrum, which produres
a tenosynovitis In this muscle group, with
particulars disastrous effects upon the
llolalls amicus
This senns portentous enough to
frighten even the most stubborn of the
tango maniacs, and yet Its effect as a
deterrent may be douhted. In spite of
this gorgeous array of excellent words
the popular cry for some time to come
will probably be "On with the dance '
Not the Same Thing '
"A great deal of what we call pleas
ure Is largely Imaginary," said the
ready-made philosopher.
"I suppose so," replied the man who
wan working on his automobile.
"Now, wouldn't jou like to be able
to take .7 long ride without having to
worry nbout speed limits or Bparl:
plugs or tires or anything nt nil?"
"1 should hay ho!"
"Well here's a street car tlckrt." -Washington
Star.
This Is "Yom Klppur," the Day of
Atonement also "Yom Hadln," the Day
of Judgment. Hebrews, scattered In their
exile throughout the world, today lay
aside nil their work nnd devote them
selves to fasting and prayer, facing their
God and pleading for another year of
life nnd happiness. Even on tho blood
stained battlefields of Europe the 400,000
Jewish soldiers engaged In the various
armies of the bolllgorent countries will
lay nsldo their weapons, by special per
mission of their commanders, and be
neath the open sky, before hastily con
structed nltars of wood and Btone, vvll(
offer prayer.
Tho observance of Yom Klppur began
last night with the elnglng and prayer
of Kol Nldto In all synagogues. Upon
their return to the places of worship this
morning the worshipers will remain
there during the entire day, leaving only
for n brief respite at noon. In the Or
thodox synagogues many of tho wor
shipers will remove their shoes as nn
expression of the thought that on this
holy day no man may enter God's house
rough shod.
Fasting Is observed as nn expression
of self-denial nnd to aid the worshipers
In fixing their thoughts upon things
spiritual. Tho fast will be concluded nt
sundown, after the pravcr of Nehllah.
followed by the blasts of tho "schofar"
from the nltar. which will announce of-
Jlclally the close of tho day of atone
ment. Tho "schofai" or horn is blown
accompanied by the prayers of the con
gregation. Soon after It resounds, the
splilt of supplication and mediation
vanishes and Is superseded by rejoicing
nnd congratulations In tho conlldence
that God will undoubtedly grant tho
pru.vcrs of His children.
There were no sermons preached In any
of the Orthodox synagogues, this not be
ing the cus.om there. At ICeneseth
lyrael, Rodath Shalom and Adath
Jcshurun, reform sermons were prenched
by Rabbi Krauskopf. Rabbi Bcrkowltz
and Rabbi Klein, respectively. At the
Httli III Sviiagogue, Rubbi Samuel
Friedman officiated. At tho Beth Israel
Synagogue, Rabbi Marvin Nathan preach
ed, while at the Mlkve Israel Synagogue
the service was conducted by Rabbi Levi

"CAPITALIZE YOURSELF"
President Mudge Tells Young Men
How to be Worth More.
President Mudge, of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railroad, lately gave
this advice to his cmplojes:
"You can make jourselt worth more,
while a locomotive cannot You can di
rect voui own energies, while a locomo
tive irurt be directed by a driver.
"It rests with ou to raise jour own
capitalization to 150,000, to JIOO.OM, or even
to J'nonoo Therefore be cmeful about
vour food, treat your body decently and,
above all, feed your mind. You are work
ing for a large corporation. In the na
ture of thing It cannot know you ver
well personally, but It knows you by tho
work you turn out. It sets a real value
on your work, higher than jou think.
Your value Is measured bv the quality
nnd quantity of results j-ou produce.
Somebody knows jour actual worth, op
preclateo your honest endeavors nnd has
j-ou In mind for better things. It Is n busi
ness proposition Each of us Is capl
tallred." Mr. Mudge began his career of "capi
talization" when, at the age of 16, he en-te-ed
the eniplov of the track department
of the Santa Fe Railway In Kansas.

DAM IS 204 FEET HIGH
Built fo rthe Purpose of Power nnd
Flood Prevention.
What Is said to be the highest dam in
Europe has Just been completed across
the River Rober, near Hlrschberg, It Is
204 feet high, 164 feet wide at the base
and 24 feet at the top, with a curved plan,
concave to downstream, of a radius of
S20 feet, says the Engineering Record. It
contains about 9,000,000 cubic feet of
stone masonarj' and cement.
There are a spillway 2S0 feet wide and
two outfalls at the buse four feet 11
Inches In diameter. The dam was erected
for the double object of flood prevention
nnd power. The powerhouse Is provided
with four turblne-drlven generating sets,
each developing 1500 horsepower as a
minimum. The cost was jl.41S.270.

PLANTS SEEK OUT PREY
Seem to Have a Sense to Feel Dis
tant Objects.
That plants have a sense which en
nbles them ,to feel objects at a distance
Is demonstrated by S. lconaid Rastln In
the Scientific American. Ho cites the sun
dew, which extends a leaf toward a fly
until tho sticky tentacles on the leaf
havo captured tho Insect.
The dodder, on germinating, sends up
n long thread, which works through the
grass till near a clover plant or a milk
weed, when It glows l.ipldly stialght for
Its victim, nroiinil which It climbs, suck
ing Its sustenance from the sap ot its
support.
The sweotpea sends lis (endrlls de
liberately tow aid sticks or other objects
that will act as n support.
Dai win called attention to tho clever
ness of the root-tips ot plans in seeking
out nourishment, and said they secnn d
to show as much intelligence as was to
be seen In the lower anlninls.
TREE FURNISHES BUTTER
United Stntes Consul nt Sierra Leone

Mr. Yorby, the United States Consul
at Siena Leone, tells of n wonderful tiop
lcal tico called tho She.i or butter tiee.
It furnishes tho natlvos not only with
nutH, which they highly prize, but with
butler which may become nn article of
commeico of Importance, since It Is al
ready exported to Europe, where It Is
used In making artificial butter.
This tico produces a nut covcicd with
a soft pulp, which Is In tilin covered with
n smooth skin, easily icmovablc when
thi nut ilpcns This pulp Is sweet and
wholesome. About flo per cent, of the
nut Is hnttcr which Is edible. Tho tree
begins to bear when It Is 1.1 yems old,
nnd icaches Its full capacity In 2o jcais.
