G”| writes in the continental edition of the | London Mail. by Two possible solations of this re markable attitude cur-to me. The first is that most ot cers appear to be rather stern and stand-offish in .uni form. ‘The other solution, and per haps an equally probable one, is that so many officers going about aimlessly with apparently nothing much to do except to spend money and kill time. Naturally, I suppose, when I first went out in “civvies” I had the in- grained inclination to salute all su- perior oflicers T met and to prepare to take salutes from the ranks. It took me the best part of a day to overcome this impulse. The “sir” habit was very strong, too. On my first morning as a civilian 1 had to see a colonel at the war office on business—business in which our standing was at least equal—and 1 Immediately “sirred” him, of course. Foree of habit, pure and simple. Aguin there is the matter of running after an omnibus or across the road— in uniform one tries to make a point of not doing these things. Now, how- ever, when “example” has not lon'ger to be considered, I find it practically impossible to chase an omnibus or flee from an oncoming taxicab. The instinet is against doing so. Appurently it is just as necessary to relearn how to be a civilian as it once was to learn how to be a suldier. SKILLFUL PIECE OF WORK Novel Feat of Engineering Recently Put to the Credit of, American Bridge Builders. Not long ago It was discovered. that the piers of the combined highway and railroad bridge across the Missouri river at St. Joseph, Mo., were in bad condition and it would be necessary to build new piers. At first it was proposed to build the new piers on the downstream side of the old bridge and shift the bridge laterally to the new position, in this way maintaining traffic over the old bridge while the new construction was going on. But the war department required the in- stallation of a larger draw-span in the bridge and so it was decided to build the new piers between the old piers. After they were completed, the fixed spans of the bridge were moved shore- ward endwise, so that they rested on the new piers. A temporary span was constructed to fill the gap thus oe- casioned, so that traffic was closed over the bridge for less than ten hours, Then work was begun upon the new swing span, which was built as a cantt- | lever In open position. To permit of | this, a portion of the old swing-span | had to be cut away and a temporary lift-span was put in to take care of river traffic. Thus the bridge was re- constructed without ch@hging its alignment.—Scientific Atmerican. | Our Book of Doom. A doomsday book of a new sort has been produced by the alien property custodian, It approximates 500 pages and sets out the names of the enemy concerns that have been found in the United States. The custodian thinks his efforts have been without real cost to the country, since he brought to light for the treasury to collect more than $600,000 in Ingome taxes which todian turned some of the German con- cerns to war work and had them pro- duce $30,000,000 worth'of supplies. The custodian’s uéw book, says Na- tion's Business, coftains a deal of comfort for Americans who, have claims against Germany and who have been wondering if they will have to wait for payment until Germany makes up her mind about the variety of gov- ernment she likes best. The state de- partment has hintéd. that American claimants may get ifatediate reim- bursement from the funds the custo- dian has collected. Hubby’s Blunder. He resided in the suburbs, and when he accidentally met an old friend in the city who persuaded him to remain In town for the evening he went to the telegraph office and wired his wife as follows: “Missed the 5:30 train. Don't keep dinner waiting. Shall be home late.” It was very, very late wwhen he did arrive home, and his wife met him at the door. “Did you get my message?” he said, beaming down at her, “Yes,” she said, very quietly, “but I would like you to explain why you sent a message at 4:28 telling me you had missed the 5:30 train.”—Rehoboth Sunday Herald, Phonograph in the Hebrides, Mrs. Kennedy-Fraser, who has done so much to create interest in Hebri- dean songs, took a phonograph to the islands, says a writer in Daily Chron- iecle. This was in order to secure the absolute accuracy of the weird music which is traditional in the Hebrides. The people were so excited by the nov- elty of singing into the phonograph that they could hardly wait for the UEUFUG EE UGLE URE Ure aa record to be played, and then they ‘Hogs will all be bought on grades.
