I In my view the knock-out blow is an I essenti al preliminary to the establishment of a permanent peace, and of the idea which is expressed in "a League of Nations.MR KELLAXVA*, M.P. THE FIRST ESSENTIAL. I If we are to have peace, if we are to have I a League of Nations to ensure the world's peac&, it is first essential that Germany's military power should -be broken.

She ha acqhired in the struggle a new role, and she will have had such a part in the liberation of the world that the world will mot be able to keep her separated from the defence of great social causes. She will have penetrated further into the general organisation of society, which will have been saved partly by the action which she has exercised.—M. PICK ox. WINNING THE WAR. ) The war, is-being won in the shipyards and the factories and in the riineg, as well as on the sea and at the front, and if the people I here at heine will stop striking at each other and strike the enemy iinsteaa the end can never be in doubt.—SIR JOSEPH COOK. A DICTATED PEACE. I There can be no peace by negotiation. must continue this war until we have abso. lutely defeated the Germans, and when w« have defeated them it will not be a matter of negotiation on our part, but a matter of giving instructions.—MB. HAVELOCX Wil, SON. A QUESTION TO THE CHURCH. I If I were an outsider to the Church i should talk to it like this: "Why do you ask us, the children of nature, to join up in a League of Nations, when you, the children of grace, cannot do it, claiming to have the world's reconciliation in your liand6?; I REV. DR, FORSYTH. STRAIGHT TALK. j It is unnecessary to inquire whether thtre should be a peace by negotiation or a knock-out blow. What we do mean is that Germany, who, by fraud, has established herself in Belgium and France, shall get out or we will drive her out. Fortunately we have the means and the power to enforce our will in that just and righteous determi- nation.—GENERAL SEELT. THE ECONOMIC WEAPON. I Notwithstanding all German successes in Russia and in the East, it lies within tho united puprose and power of Great Britain and the United States through the command of natural resources and raw materials and by other means to place upon the industrial and commercial development and expansion of Germany restrictions against which she would struggle in vaiil.-Sn.

If the tnarrowa are in market this price will be £6 10s.

I; JAPS AND AVIATION. I I The Japanese are the greatest masters, of human equilibrium in the world. Watching them balance lightly on slack wires or stand on their hands on slender poles, one would Assume that aviation has few terrors for them. As a matter of fact, however, their peculiar sense of equilibrium does not jjpem to aid them.in the flying of aeroplanes. An experienced instructor who has drilled many allied airmen says the Japanese make the least satisfactory aviatora in the world, Eskimos excepted.

• LONG LIVED TREES. j The tree which has been calculated to have the longest life is the cypress, which is estimated to live for about 6,000 years. The cypresses at Oaxaca, in Mexico, are reported fo be the oldest trees in the world. The yew tree is the next longest liver, attaining the age of 3,000 years. Then comes the oak with 1,500 years, the beech with 800 years, the chestnut with 700 years, the elm with 500 years, the larch with 500 years, and the fir with 400 years.

I RUSSIAN FORESTS. The forests of the CaucasM are esti- mated at 12,000,000 acres, chiefly in the mack Sea territory, which is at the rate of nearly twenty acres to each inhabitant. The forests of Western Siberia have been scarcely explored, but they are stated to be 200,000,000 acres in xtent, more than half being in an absolute, state of nature. J

j i I WHY CREEPERS TURN RED. > Withered leaves of the autumn foliage turn red because they contain more sugar and less starch than in midsummer, reports an authority. Leaves of evergreens, how- ever, lost their red tints with the return of the; warm season, and reassumed their green 1 colour. In these plants—i.e., the hollv and = ivy--the sugar of' the leaf is transformed into starch in springtime. From these obser- vations two inferences can' be -.vn that the red colouring substances are prob- ably of the nature of the glucoses, being in UKvtf. cases compounds of tannic substances with sugr.r; second, the chief physical con- ditions for the formation of .the red colour are sunshin. This-, on the one hand, en- hances the assimilation and production of sugar, and, on the other hand, quickens the chemical process that leads to the forma- tion of the colouring matter, and, further- more, a low temperature, which prevents the transformation of the sugar into starch. In other words, the red tints of autumn are the direqt product of the meteorological condi- tions prevailing during that season—i.e. sunshine and low temperature.

Six* people were rescued from an over- turned punt at Shcpperton Lock (Middle- sex). A Sve-pouud note autographed by Mr. Lloyd George realised £ 105 at a hospital auction, at Barmouth (Wales). Mr. G. N. Barnes, a member of the War Cabinet, challenging his Labour opponents in Glasgow, writes: "I am willing to contest the Gorbala division at the earliest possible moment if anyone will come out and fight," and a4"ds that although he is now sixty he is not goiqg to be driven to rest by the methods of his opponents. South Shields Libesal aud Wowfn'.i Liberal Association have selected Mr. J. Havelock Wilson as Liberal and Labour candidate.

I MR. LLOYD GEORGE SETTLES WITB THE MEN. The strike of the Metropolitan and City of London Police has been settled, the men gaining practically all the points ;11 dispute. The Prime Minister -received a depuL ÜCll from the men on Saturday, and a few bouvs later the "following terms of sct'iement werc made public: — The present scale of pay (pensionable) to be increased by 13s. a week. Thus a con- stable with present pay of 30s., rising to 40s., will be entitled to receive 43s., rising to 53s., the other ranks, including all ranks of C.I.D., receiving a similar increase. This will apply to re-called pensioners. The war bonus of 12s. and the war bonus of s. 6d. for. each child of school-going age to be maintained. A non-contributory widows' pension of 10s. a week. The existing provision of £1:3 a year fcr each child of school-going age now given from the Orphanage Fund will be con- tinued. A constable on his maximum will be draw- ing 53s. pay, 12s. war bonus, 5s. (on an average) children's war bonus, and on com- pleting 26 years' service will become en- titled to a pension of 35s. 4d. a week. Constable Thiel, the organiser of the Police Union, is reinstated unconditionally. Un the question of the recognition of the Police Union, the men's leaders say it was conceded, but Sir George Cave, the Home Secretary, says it was not. COMMISSIONER RESIGXS. ) It is officially announced that the Killg" has aoccepted the resignation of Sir Edward Henry, Commissioner of the Police of the metropolis, and that in recognition of his distinguished services during the fifteen years for which he has held that ofSce his Majesty has signified his intention of con- ferring on him the honour of a baronetcy. The King has approved the appointment of Lieut.-General Sir Cecil Frederick Nevil Macready to succeed Sir E. Henry.

YOUNGEST COLONEL KILLED. I Acting-Lieut.-Col J. H. M. Hardyman. -i t Infantry, wbi ccm- M.C., Somersetshire Light Infantry, who com- manded his battalion though only twenty- thrco years of age, has been killed in action. He was the youngest officer holding that rank in the British Army. He had been approached by no fewer than three P-onstituclicies to stand as their candidate at the next General Elec- tion. He was also a clever writer .of prose and verse.

I THE TANK'S BIRTHPLACE. I Ma jor-General Seely, M.P., Parliamentary Secretarv to the Ministry of Munitions, speak- ing at Lincoln said:— "Here was first conceived and created that oreat engine of war which has revolutionised the batt1eld-the tank. The invention of the tank has done more than any other single thing to bring the end in sight, and, above ail, to save the lives of our brave men."

I DESERTER FOR THREE YEARS. I I. StRphen Frederick Jordan, who admitted at l? Chatham being a deserter since Jnne, 1915, said he attested at Canterbury, and soon afterwards went away, and was not traced until a few days ago, when a detective found him working in Chatham Dockyard. He was I handed over to an escort.

I SMOKED AMONG EXPLOSIVES. f When Patrick Larkin was fined X5 at Liver- pool for a breach of the dock regulations it was stated that he was smoking while unload- ing explosives sufficiently powerful enough to reduce Liverpool to ruins had they exploded.

FLIES CAUSE DEATH. I A coroner's jury at Blyth (Northumberland) I decided that Joseph Gibbons, aged eight and a half, died from enteritis induced by eating food poisoned by house-flies.

REMARKABLE ANTS. One of the greatest curiosities of insect life, so .far as habits are concerned, is to be found in the queer "parasol" or "umbrella" ant, so common in all parts of tropical America-, from Texas to Venezuela. The common name by which the creature is known has been bestowed because of a queer habit this species of ant has of stripping certain kinds of trees and shrubs of their foliage and carrying the leaves to their nests. An army of these ants which have been off on a foraging expedition present the queerest sight imaginable as they march in long columns by t-.voi, fours, and sixes, each holding the stem of a leaf in its jaws, the leaf itself shading the little insect's. body hke a parasol does the face and shoul- ders of a lady. The early naturalists imagined that these pests carried leaves for the sole purpose of protecting themselves against the rays of the tropical sun, but investigation shows that they had another use for the bits of green they gather. The leaves are only wanted as soil upon which to grow a certain species of fungi of which the parasol ant is very fond. ——————.—— e —————————

HOME DRESSMAKING. I A NEAT LITTLE SKIRT. I Now that September is actually here, we I shall have to begin to think in earnest about J our outfit for the coming autumn and winter. And more careful thought will have to be spent upon that outfit than ever before, for prices have risen so terribly during the last twelve months.. [Refer to H. D. 2.30.] One of. the nicest and simplest of the new- and very practical skirts to be worn during the coming autumn is shown in our sketch. It is smart in effect, though very simple in shape, and is equally suitable for inorning or afternoon wear. THE MATERIAL.—Material is very much of a difficulty just now, for all -wool mate- rials are very expensive, and the mixtures are rarely satisfactory. If possible, there-] fore, I should certainly buy an all-wool stuff, it will prove the cheapest purchase in the long run; but if you cannot afford an all- wool stuff, you must get the best wool and cotton mixture you can buy. Serge, tweed, gabardine, frieze, and homespun are all suitable for this design. It will take 21 yards of material 40iri. wide. THE PATTERN.—The pattern consists of. three pieces oial,p--a front, a back, and a pocket. In addition, you will need a strip of material 4Jin. wide for the belt. No pat- tern is given for this, however, as- it is simply a straight piece of material. No turn- ings are allowed for in the pattern. SELVFDGES OF -qO' MATF.RIAL THE CUTTING OUT.-Fold the material selvedges together, and lay the pattern pieces upon it, as shown in the diagram. You will notice, of course, that the straight edges of both. front and back are placed against the fold of the material. THE MAKING.—Tack the skirt seams to- gether, leaving an opening from eight to ten inches deep on the left side. Slip on the skirt and make any alterations necessary. Now sew up the skirt seams, leaving a fairly wide turning on each side of the seam. Press, the seams open very well, and neatlv whip the raw edges of the turnings to keep them from fraying. Next face lip the edges of the placket with two strips of material. On the side towards the front put the strip on as an ordinary flat facing", but on the other side put' the strip on as a wrap and let it project about an inch beyond the actual edge. Next put on the fastenings, which- should be strong press-studs. Now cut a band of strong Petersham belting to fit the waist, turn the edges in, and fasten it with strong hooks and eyes, arranging the fas- tenings to come just above the placket. Gather the top of the skirt and sew it neatly to the top of the Petersham. Turn up a neat double hem at the bottom of the skirt. Turn in the edges of the pockets, and sew them into position on the skirt, as shown in the sketch, leaving an opening at the top through which to pass the belt. Make the belt and sew it to the skirt at the back, passing the ends through the opening left at the top of the pockets. I HOW TO OBTAIN Paper Pattern of the above SKIRT.

I THE ELEPHANT'S LEGS. I The legs of the elephant differ from those J of the more familiar large animals in the fact that the ankle and the writit-the so- called knee of the horse's foreleg—are not far above the sole of the hind foot-and fore- foot—resembling ihan's joints in that rc- spect—while the true knee-joint, called "the stiffie" in horses, instead of being, as in horses, high up, close againgt the body, strongly flexed even when at rest, and ob- scuied by the skirt, is far below the body, free and obvious enough. In fact, the elephant keeps the thigh and upper arm perpendicular, and in line with the lower segment of the limb when he is standing, so that the legs are pillar-like. But he bends the joints amply when in quick movement. The hind legs seen in action resemble, in the proportions of thigh, foreleg, and foot, and the bending at thelmee and ankle, very closely those of a I man walking "on all fours."

¡ WORLD'S BEST RUNNERS. i The best runners in the world are said to be' Indians living near the Gulf of Cali- fornia and known as Seris. The race num- bers only some four hundred. The men attack and capture antelopes, deer, and wild buffalo. The swiftest horse cannot outrun these fleet-footed Indians, who perform on foot the same feats as the cow-boy on his broncho. A boy can be seen driving horses round and round in an enclosed track, and when they have got up a good speed one of the barriers is removed and a horse dashea into the prairie at full speed. It has not I gone very far before the Indian has caught up with it; another few yards and be. has bounded on its back, seized its mane with I r one hand and its nostrils with the other and thrown it to the ground.

I "TWINS AGAIN." I At Old-street Police-court, Dennis Golding. twenty-eight, of Axe-place, Hackney-toad, was sentenced to six weeks as a suspected person. Detective Raynon told the magistrate that the man had two children who were twins, and Eince his arrest his wife had been confined with twins again.

I SHOT FROM THE AIR. I An airman, practising machine-gun shooting at a target floating on the Elstree Reservoir, missed his aim and killed a resident standing in a cottage garden close by. A bullet hag pierced the man's heart, and he had other in- vierc-?od t!ic man's -heart, and he had other 4.n-

TALKS ON HEALTH. By A FAMILY DOCTOR. HOW TO BREATHE. Some people think that noees were made to be punched; others that they were made to smell with; but the real llt;e cf the nose- is to breathe through. Curious that lew folk know how to breathe. Singing masters will tell you that their first taok is to t-each their pupils how to breathe ar-d full. This comes as such a shock to the pupils that they turn giddy and feel fai;,t. I'-ut- soon they acquire the habit of filling the lungs in quite the professional manner; they can sustain a note for twice the time,, and not only their voices but their general health is improved. Children will breathe through their mouths unless they are taught. The passage of the air through the mouth dries the mouth and .ni'ili-es the .Uma and teeth unhealthy. Bad breath owes it.* unpleasant odour to the habit cf mcutfi breathing. HANDKERCHIEF DRILL FOft CHILDREN. Children have to be taught handkerchief drill; they do not know how to blow their noses and keep the air-way clear. It is a disgrace to parents that bandkerchief drill has to be conducted in schools; it is hard, up-hill work to persuade mothers to prov.(Ie tneir offspring with handkerchiefs. The mothers will learn in time, of course^ we must not be impatient; this is only }ù13; no reasonable man would regard cue them-and nine hundred and eighteen years as a long enough period to teach mothers that children's noses should be clean. Let the- love of children, the sweetest note in Chris- tian harmony, be advocated. for a few more centuries, and then we may hope that pre- ventable diseases will be prevented. I always wax indignant over the question cf -,c,, i c when an -noses.' It is indeed tragic when an adolos- eent girl with a narrow chest and a caromc cough says to her mother, "I am old enough now to understand that you aeglocied my health when I was a child." A mother is not supposed to be a physician, learned in anatomy and physiology, but I do cümriain that I see daily in the schools little children snoring and coughing because their iif)ces are stuffed up with dr¡d mucus which could be removed with the help of a hand- kerchief. DANGER OF INFLAMMATION. The nose is a filter; it catch ^v ng and dangerous germs, which, if taken down to the lungs, will set up iufiauunatioB. If after walking in a fog for an hour you use your handkerchief, you ,11 & bow rtiarsv blacks have been caught in the nose. Th& faces of little children are nearer the ground and get more dust, and the filter action of the nose becomes more imperative. The nose warms the air. The throat and luaga arc not built to stand cold air. The blood -c cf the no--z?r, circulating through the lining cf the no:-& N^ acts like water in the pipes of a hú:t.. house; by the time the air reaches the throat it is warmed to exact body tempera- ture if it first passes through The back of the nose, the throat, and the ears are all connected by open passages, arid inflammation travels freely along. Hence, an unhealthy nose leads to doainess. Many mouth-breathers are deaf. I "NOSES, NOSES A1Z, THE WAY." A stooping of the shoulders is often Ecvm in children who breathe through i I-, c ir mouths. If this' stoop is acquired when tho bones of the epine arc arct soft, a permanent curvature of th* spine results. There is hardly any limit to the evils that I follow in the train of inc'iveet br^-thiTre^ Most of us have experienced the feeiiiic,- of muddle-headedness wheu we have a cold. I the mind seems to -J". in a fog: r o s- culations are impossible or are done incor- rectly. It is an undoubted fact that stuffy noses impair mental activity. The. child at; the bottom of the class is not to be blamed,- if his nose is blocked up; he would brighten up after he had been faugh; to breathe properly. A doctor would know in a minute if an obstruction was present that could be removed bv a small owration A could be written on noses; to a large ex- tent life is governed by ncses it'is a ques- tion of "noses, noses all the way," aud parents cannot be tcld too often vihat an important duty it. is to ensure heathy coa- i ditions in the noses of then- childroi. ALL THE DIFFERENCE. There is all the difference in the wo: Id be- tween a stimukntalld a food. The whip with which you lash a tired horse is a stimulant; a good feed cf corn is nourish-, nient. A whip may occasionally be neoes- sar-v, but who but a fool would lash a. worn-out horse when anvonc couid see that he required a rest and a feed? And so this system of treatment has overspread too whole profession; our object is not so much to rely on drugs as to give true nourishment and put the patient in the best way of get- ting well, hoping that Nature will do the rest. One hears so. many wild opinion* about alcohol; the shrieks of fanatics are never convincing, but this fact may be put on record: that there is to-day only a frac- tion of the amount of alcohol used that was employed formerly, and we believe that this results from more enlightened forms of treatment. 0 HOW WE GET CHILLS. In the autumn, when colds are eo com- mon, the clothing that is best suited to avoid chills may well be disense-ed witk advantage. It must be pointed out that i' is not so much the cold weather in itself that is dangerous as the sudden changes from a warm house to d cold street. We r could easily stand a low temperature indefi- nitely if we were in the same tc-mperature, all the time, but no organism can resist the heavy strain put upon it by the rapid alter- nation of heat and cold. First the cold bed- room, then the warm breakfast-room, thes the cold walk to the station and five- minutes standing about in tfie draughty railway station; then the stuffy journey with ten people breathing the same-air ovet and over again, all the windows being tightly closed; then a oold, slivering ride on the top or a 'bus and the incarceration in a. badly-ventilated, over-heated office--no wonder We get chills. U COLD BATH AND WARM OVERCOAT. II Everyone has some plan or fad whereby. i we may never have colds again as long as I we live. My own fad is that everyone who can stand it-and most of us who are in ordinary health can—should have a colcl I bath in the morning. Do not grumble aiid ;hiver, just go and do it. Have a good rub down, and make your skin glow, and sing fit the top of your voice because it is good. t or you. Stop when the neighbours com- plain. Mv other recommendation is to have I a warm overcoat. When you are Bitting in | a room beautifully warm by a fire, you do not reaHy need those enormously thick mderclothes that you wear. As a matter ;,r fact, the temperature of a room with a ire is higher than the summer temperature. it is not in the house that you need >o much extra clothing, it is when you go :mt. It is wiser to spend money on a warm overcoat than on warm underclothing.
