There is a world of romance in maps, especially in very old ones; and the map which carries great blank spaces along its borders, indicating that the cartographer did not know ‘what lay behind the horizon, can call forth endless dreams. 0} let us say with pride, the Americans | —seem to be able to build big dirigi- That, of course, was the "kind of map Columbus used. On his first ‘voyage maps were of little use to him. He expected to fetch up against the Asiatic coastline somewhere, and he probably had such charts of China, Malaya and India as 15th century; Bpain could provide. But all the way] thither was es mysterious and un- known as the other side of the moon. What good is a map to a man who charts a course due west into a shore- Jess sea? was By the time he made his third trip, of course, he probably had a more or Jess makeshift. set of charts. He knew, at least, that sooner. or later he would make a more or less famil- iar landfall. Somewhere ahead there were islands and channels he had Been before. y But all the rest was darkness. To the north and south stretched almost’ infinite reaches of empty ocean, which might conceal anything from the lost Atlantis to the Happy Isles that! ‘Ulysses sailed for. What, one won- ders, did the old navigator think, what sort of speculation took hold of him, as he sat in his dim-lit, creak- ing cabin, a chair braced against the bulkhead for security, and studied his| incomplete map? ‘We shall never know, of course. Bea-faring men are seldom commu- nicative, and Columbus was no ex-| ception. But since that is a closed book, the next best thing is a glimpse gt the map he used; and the man who could not pore over it by the hour, lost in dreams, has no appre- ¢iation of romance. One trouble with our world today, pou see, is that our maps are too eomplete. Around the poles there are fawindling white spaces, and Asia and. ®outh America still have small areas that are unknown. But for the most, part every headland has been chart- @d, every mountain range has. been filled in, every river bed has been fraced. What wouldn't we give for a map that was half empty! Clannish Soldiers An American newspaperwoman, re- tently returned from China, pointed but the other day that the American Boldiers stationed at Tientsin spend ® good deal of their spare time in fisticuffs with the English soldiers Who are stationed there; and the fact feads ont to meditate anew on the! Strange and seemingly irrational emo- fions that live in the heart of tne soldier. Offhand—if one didn know them one would imagine that a ifttic fhandful of American soldiers in a foreign land would welcome the pres- ence of other soldiers who speak their language. But they don’t. They never did, and probably they néver; will. They feel that antagonism, not because they are Americans, but be-}: Cause they are soldiers, and no onc} will ever understand military things unless he understands that universal, dealous bit of clan feeling. ‘The soldier gives his loyalty chiefly to a fairly small unit. He hes his Patriotism, of course; but it is his! jtion—his battalion, his segiment, or very rarely his brigade first in his) heart. It is his world. He under- Stands it, and everyone from the out- gide is strange and probably up to no good. ‘This feeling is a priceless asset to bis commander. It is the “esprit de @orps” that the French speak of; the feeling of solidarity and unity that frelds a group of individuals into a | eseg mass and that accounts, far! than lofty sentiments about the etsertarasttnhtnnanttrpatatancit aaseanenintbidiaeianeaniete an atte te ee ee bles and make them work, The British have had shockingly bad luck with their dirigibles. They have sent several on spectacular Nights over the Atlantic, but their disasters have outweighed their suc- cesses, and few Englishmen will ob- ject to the discarding of the R-100. The French and Italians have had an equal lack of success with the big ships. But the Germans seem able to build dirigibles that are eminently safe and utilitarian. Under German tutelage, Americans have learned the lesson, too. Whatever the future use- fulness of the dirigible may be, it is evident that it will be demonstrated almost solely by Germans and Ameri- cans. French Newspapers The recent death of Louis Lou- cheur, former French cabinet mem- ber and journalist, serves to call at- tention to the wide difference be- tween French and American news- papers. Paris has a great many newspa- pers. Most of them cover the news| , FIGHTING NEAR CAMBRAI On Dec. 2, 1917, the Germans made 5 attacks on the British line and of the day in a way that would seem! forced the British to retire from almost absurdly inadequate to one brought up on newspapers in , the United States. They live by and for their editorial policies—and some pa- pers which hardly deserve the pre- fix, “news,” at all, have brilliant and influential writers to plead special causes. Furthermore, a great number re- celve government subsidies. The ma- jority will whip up public opinion much as the government desires. Some, indeed, receive money from foreign governments—with the effect on editorial policy that might be ex- pected. All in all, the contrast is striking. French newspapers can propagandize ably. In the field of gathering’ and distributing news they fall far below the American standard. Revolutionized War A picture page from the: Illustrated London News gives photographs o! the way in which British troops were taken to the Island of Cyprus by alr- plane to put down the recent riots, there; and the whole thing provides @ striking example of the way in which warfare has been revolution- The revolution, it seems, has oper- ated chiefly in favor of the strong. What chance has an insurrectionist movement, when the ruling class can call down troops out of the sky on a few hours’. notice? How can a re- volt make headway against modern’ armies, equipped with airplancs? A band of fighting men today is helpless unless it is equipped with all) of the most modern inventions. Thos: who expect such a country as India, for instance, to break away from the British empire by force might ponder on that fact for a while.

He stood re- splendent in evening dress, clawing at bis collar, an improved but still @ brightly sunburnt young man. » “All set?” “All set,” Mary replied. “Lord,” he groaned, “I thought this job was a cinch when:I took it. Yachts, parties—but phocey!” He lifted bis chin as far as possible out of his unrelenting collar, settled it back again and said resignedly, “Well, let's go.” -He hummed lu- gubriously a bar or two of the “Dead March.” A trace of the old Mary was in the giggle this provoked from her. \ “It will be cooler on the roof,” she comforted him, She had grown rather fond of the little chap in recent days; how competent he was as a detective she did not know, but he was doggedly willing and a cheerful soul, and she owed him something for the smiles he gave her. She thought of the money Mr. Jupiter had given her and decided suddenly what to do with it, She put it in his surprised hand and clenched the fingers on it. “No!” he boomed loudly, aghast. But sho made him take it. “For beitig a good egg,” she said. “How did You come out with your Duszle?” “Oh, that.” He seemed relieved to change the subject. “I didn't get much done on that. Took all my time getting into this boiled shirt. Maybe I ought to stay down and work on t—" he asked hopefully. “I could, if you weren't sporting that necklace around to tree—" “You come along.

Even criminals have their politics, I sup- pose.” Bates rapped on Mr. Jupiter's door, eyeing the necklace mean- while. “Phew!” he remarked. “Some class,'eh? There's going to be several hundred mighty jealous wrens at that party when they glimpse that, believe me.” “Come in!” yelled Mr. Jupiter in ® voice that made them both start. As soon as they entered, they real- Fly, the ized that he was very angry. Bruce was there, leaning against a chair, examining the tip of his cigaret with half-closed eyes. Jupiter nodded toward chairs, then turned back to Bruce. “Go on! Say what you've got to say.” he commanded roughly. Mary's heart sank—a quarrel’ with Bruce at this particular moment? It only the old man would soften his attitude toward his son a little, she thought Bruce might be won to his father’s views much more easi- ly. But Bruce's manner hardened to meet his father’s. “Let me get this straight,” Bruce frowned, “I’m to understand that you suspect De Loma of being the man you're after?” Jupiter, Senior, nodded, “Good Lord!” Bruce burst out. “I despise the chap, certainly, but —do you realize the absurdity. of that? Why, he’s an old friend of Louise's! She's known him for years, and whatever else he may be, surely. it’s nonsense to try to make him out a murderer, a—a thiet—" ‘When no one spoke, he continued struggled to keep » “I grant you he may not be precisely a lily, by the strict American code of morals, ethics and whatnot. He's nobility, you know. And post-war conditions— I don’t say he may not have turned his hand to a shady deal or two, to Keep from starving—”" _ Mary had an impression that he was talking to bolster up his own courage, that behind this scornful front he was frightened. The spec- tacle of his Louise in the arms of a man of that stripe was horrible to him. Against his judgment he must believe the best of the man or see Louise as horribly smudged by her former association with him. “To keep from working, you ‘aol Bates taberjented disgusted- Before Bruce could reply, Mary checked him with another question. “You haven't told Louise what we know about De Loma, have yout” Bruce regarded her steadily. “Not yet,” he said deliberately. “Look here, father, perhaps I can’t alter your ideas about this man just yet, but I can alter them about someone else, I imagine. I happen to have certain facts that—well, that—” “Out with ‘em!” the old man snapped. “No hemming and haw- ing. We're in a hurry.” He looked at his watch, “It's seven o'clock ndw.” “Tbe brief,” Bruce sneered. “It's this: I think all this pursuit of De Loma is simply a fake on Miss Harkness’ part. He fs the first man who came to hand. There- fore she poitits him out’as the mur- derer, Where is the real murderer? I fancy the authorities know best about that! Why, this girl is work- ing ‘you for all she can get out of you, can’t you see it?” Bates moved forward threaten- ingly, but Mr. Jupiter held up a restraining hand.

She's broken with her fiance, For what? Because she’ after bigger game. You!. She's carried moe along very graciously because she can’t get rid of me. Why,” Mary felt as if the scorn in his eyes would wither her where he stood, “right under your nose rabbing right and left what- ever she can get her hands on— right now she’s got a diamond bracelet of Louise’s salted away! How’s that for cuteness? De Loma loaned it to Louise, and she got it away from all of us. Why, she’s slicker than De Loma dares to be!” There was a long minute or two of ghastly silence, broken by Bates’ heartfelt exclamation, “Well, I'll be damned!” He laughed then—posi- tively roared. Mr. Jupiter quirked an eyebrow, looked as if he would, have smiled, too, if he had not felt so heartsick at this tirade of his son's. Mary stumbled to a window and looked out. Father and son faced eaclf other, “That bracelet,” Jupiter spoke gently, as if to a child, “was your mother’s, son. It was part of what the—robber got when he—when he shot your mamma, and got away. U'd know the bracelet anywhere. I had it made special for her the time you didn’t come home, that summeér—remember? You sald you would and then something changed your plans. She felt kinda bad, 1 wanted to give her something. Why,” he looked round at Mary ex- citedly, “I believe to my soul it’s got her initials in it!

Sure as sin he’s the map killed your mamma, Bruce, Now, is that enough for you? Anything else you want to say?” Bruce still leaned against the chair, but there was. something alteréd in him—a sort of crumpling of the spirit that drew a faint even from the girl he had just de nounced. After all, he was only a rather strong-headed young map who had swallowed an overdose of cynicism and sophistication at too early an_age. ‘ Mr. Jupiter spoke to him then more gently than Mary had ever} heard him. “Bruce, my son,” he said, “we need you.

Nothing would give us greater pleasure than to offer you our regrets.” With that Brace went out. Mary turned impulsively to the old man, her heart wrung by the forlorn expression on his face. “Don’t worry. He'll come around all right! Everything will come out fine—see if it doesn’t!” She kissed him lightly on the cheek and was Felieved to see his eyes twinkle at her mischievously, “He certainly med you around proper, didn’t he, miss?” he teased. ~ ‘There was an unaccustomed flash in the gray eyes. “I'll make him eat those words some day!” “But look here,” he turned seri- ous suddenly, “you oughtn’t to take a ice wearing that necklace up there, "Mary!

And then as soon as the Police take him, I want to get back to New York.” “That so?” Jupiter seemed sur- Prised. “Now I kinda counted on your going on a little fishing trip Soon as this is over—kinda made up my mind I'd like to try for some baracuda down around Dry Tor- tugas—" Mary sald tremulously, “I'm afraid I've lost my fish and I must go back and get him!” Suddenly she was crying, to her intense mor- tification. ~ “Ho!” Jupiter scoffed, patting her shoulder. “He'll come running the minute he sees you. Don't you worry.” “Say!” Henry Bates demanded, gruffly. “When do we eat?” They all went out to the elevator together. There was the sound of a telephone ringing, and after listen- came from Mary's room. Bates groaned at the delay and rolled impatient eyes to the ceiling to indicate the state of his appetite. At first the voice over the wire ®ppeared to be no one Mary recog- nized. She was about to hang up, thinking someone had called th Toom: by mistake. It was a girl's voice, and she appeared to be pleas- antly excited about something. “It’s the mail clerk, Miss Hark- ness!” 2 1 “Oh,”. Mary said, Stupid of me. me, is that it?” “Not a letter, Miss Harkness, but 1 wanted to tell you—you've been #0 anzious for a letter from Mr. Ruyther—that he’s here, now.” “Here?

There seems to be plenty of evi- dence that the majority of children, indeed as many as 75 per cent, are infected with tuberculosis by the time they are 14 years old. Fortunately, most children overcome the first in- fection, and thereafter, their resist- anee being built up, they are not likely to develop a serious infection with the disease.

If, however, the first sign of infec- tion is taken as a warning and the child is given every opportunity to build resistance by the use of open air, sunshine, proper rest and above all adequate nutrition, it is likely to overcome its attack. ‘Thus far scientific medicine has de- veloped no means of preventive :n- culation against tuberculosis that 1s safe and.certain.

Until such time as a preventive inoculation is available, however, our best means of protection include the building of infection from other members of its family or from its immediate surroundings, and par- ticularly the feeding to children of milk from cows that are free of tu- berculosis, tended to change old-world and new-| boosted world customs where birth and child welfare are concerned.
