Morbid Yonng Women. The tragic story of two young women, one from Cincinnati, O and one from Newton, Mass., who killed themselves in a double sui cide agreement at Portsmouth, N. H.. is an extreme illustration of the tendency to morbidness which many young women feel to some degree. People who run girls' seminaries and boarding schools find voune women who conceive inordinate and abnormal attachment for each other. A bond of this kind led to this sad story of two girls who died rath er than permit themselves to be separated. These regular love affairs be tween two DersonB of the same sex are rarely seen in the case of young men. Among girls they are not uncommon. The same passionate attachment, and often the same spirit of jealousy, is Been a3 in affairs between men and women. The results are rarely as tragic as in this case. But they often lead to a lot of unhappiness and interfere with a girl's normal life and work. The heads of private schools dread abnormal attachments, and try to turn their pupils, thoughts in saner directions. To sober and self contained persons, such evidences of hys teria seem absurd. But many young women are bundles of nerves and sentiment to an ex tent not realized by men and the cooler and more ordinary type of women. Their heart gets set in a certain sentimental direction, and the affair completely fills their lives. Probably the conditions under which girls used to live were more promotive of theee affairs than modern habits. The pres ent day girl is full of work and study and normal play, and she takes her sentimental affairs with common sense and good spirit If separations come, she finds plenty of wholesome interests to fill her life. Work is a great curative of morbidness. The ac tive young women of the modern "world have precious little time to get notions in their heads.

We bought a carload of wire and wire nails last October which did not reach us until the 10th of January; and it was lucky that we did buy early, for the wholesale price has made several advances since that time. We are now offering wire fence to you at prices we would have to pay, if we were buying now. As long as this lot lasts you will get it at Jan uary prices. Come and See Us. HULL & BENDER, McConnellsburg, Pa. Military Terms Defined. . Just now when everybody is talking war, it may be helpful to our younger people to throw some light on the meaning of terms frequently heard and not always understood. A "rookie" ia a recruit An officer never "enlists." He is commissioned by the President of the United States. Only pri vate soldiers, including corporals and sergeants can "enlist To be "drafted" means to be forced into the military or naval sorvice. To "volunteer" means to go into the service willingly. "Rank and file" do not mean of ficers and enlisted men. "Rank" is a row of soldiers and file represents a man in the front rank with the man or men direct ly behind him. "Squad" ia part of a company. A caotain commands a company nnd hfl has under him a first lieu tenant and a second lieutenant A major commands a battalion which is made up of four com- panies, A regiment is commana- ed by a colonel and it comprises three battalions so that a regi ment is made up of twelve com panies: The new army law abolishes the grade of brigadier general. Hereafter, if that law passes colonel will jump directly to ma jor general. A eeneral of the army corr esponds to an admiral of the na- vv. Lieutenant general ranks with a vice admiral and a major eeneral with a rear admiral. Since Dewey's death there is no American admiral and we have no vice admirals. Neither is there a general or lieutenant orpnoral. Our chief of staff is a ri - major eeneral. The titles of lieutenant general and general, vice admiral and ad miral must be especially created bv the act of Congress. President Wilson is command er-in-chief of both army and navy and has tho right to take direct command of the fleet or the army of a million men. Every Presi dent during his term of office stands at the top of both the army and the navy stands there as the supreme commander. He can dismiss any officer how ever high or low the rank. He ! appoints all officers. The Disabilities of the Jews. To the Hebrew race among us, the overthrow of the Russian des potism means a great deal. It signifies that in the center of the greatest Jewish population, this struggling race is apparently to get a legal equality. This must affect the status of the race all over the world. In this country the Jews have every legal and political right and occupy a prominent place in the business world. They still suffer social restrictions. There are thousands of hotels, particu larly those at public pleasure re sorts, that will not receive them. The hotel managers say they would lose their other business if they attempt to force the He brews into their company. This is undemocratic and un-American, and is the fault of public sentiment The persecuted condition of the race in Russia has been a drag on its progress all over the world. The result of the indig nities which they suffered in that country was to create in their mmds a feeling of hostility to the Christian peoples. Having been perecuted, his property destroyed and his life endanger ed, it was natural enough' that the Jew should feel it legitimate to get back at his tormentors in anyway he could, usually by get ting tho better of him financially. The Jews driven from Russia came over here in an ignorant condition, embittered against the Christians, disposed to take ad vantage of them where they could. In that frame of imnd it was perhaps natural that they should be unpopular. Education is the greatest remedy for a con dition like this, and the .wise leaders of the Hebrew people urge it. School and college life has a wonderful. p)w er for removing race friction. Many of the young people going through our schools have all the incisive mind and unbounding energy of their blood, without those harder traits that grew up in years of bondage and suffering Central Garage .
