Sent in advance to ifieet the Pacific fleet airmen,' the air force of the Atlantic had winged south ward to join the great war game. With th$ Pennsylvania, eight drcadnau'ghts made nip Admiral Wil son's main colum, while" the tender Blackhawk shepherded, and 18 de stroyers were thrown ahead and abeam to screen the movement of the line ships. Astern trailed the mine planter San Francisco, bound back to the Pacific for the first time since she was launched at the city by the Golden Gate and flying the flag of the commander of the mine force. Two mine layers and two mine sweepers rolled along in her wake. Inshore, the old cruiser j- Columbia, lolled at the head of the K'Sni'p'y train. " 'V - Aboard were thousands of votme Jackies destined to see the Panama canal for the first time when the ships go through to join Admiral Hugh Rodman's Pacific fleet. It will be the first mobilization of the full commissioned strength of the navy since the Pacific fleet was created, soon after the armistice. Elaborate plans for the maneuvers have been made, involving, it is understood, some practical test of the use of the ; canal for naval' strategy. - ; Former Army Colonel j; Replies to Charges S Made by Senator Reed ke&' York.

Dog Hill Paragrafs By George Bingham Nearly all public speakers have studied geography more or less, but the majority of them still point in the wrong direction when referring to some place. Site Kildew is thinking about spending the rest of the winter near Thundcration for his wife's health. Flim Dillard is learning all kinds of slick tricks, and the public should be warned against him. His latest subterfuge occurred at the Calf Ribs store this week, when he en goged the proprietor in a conver sation and then passed off an iron washer on him for a dollar. ' WHY Do We Say That Someone Is "As Deaf a An Adder?" Probably on account of the pas sage in the Psalms, where the wicked are compared to "the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear; which will not hearken to the voice of charm ers, charming never so wisely," practically alt modern languages contain the proverb "deaf as an ad der." But we have to go back to the superstition, prevalent in the Orient from time immemorial that adders defy the power of the snake charmer by pressing one ear into the dust, while stopping the other with their tail. This, of course, is an absolute absurdity, since serpents' have no external ,ears. Shakespeare gave utterance to the popular belief when he wrote in Sonnet CXII:' "In so profound abyss I throw all ear Of others' voices, that my adder's sense To critic mid to flatterer atopped are." It will be argued, of course, that Shakespeare's use of the popular.be lief was covered by his poet's license, but the fact remains that his natural history appears to have been as er roneous as the construction of (the last line of the sonnet is Teutonic.

The lucky color foV today is vio let, which brings the man who wears it good judgment, industry, serious thought, and to the woman noble thoughts and religious tendencies.

Revelations of a Wife What Madge Did to Bring Dicky to Terms. As the door of the hotel bedroom closed after us I wondered uneasily just what attitude Dick meant to assume. , Despite his apparent nonchalance, I knew that he must be inwardly angry a: my triumph in the matter of going north against his withes. That the anger he 'would ordinarily have felt against Maj. Grantland for being anywhere within speaking distance of me had been banished by the officer's action in sending word of my whereabouts to him, I knevy by his cordiality toward the army officer in the hotel restaurant. Buj I could not believe that he was good-humored enough to keep from some caustic comment on the whole episode, and nerved myself to take without retort whatever he might have to say. He said nothing for several sec onds, during which I took a sweater from my suitcase, placed it beside my heavy coat, and began to fold my traveling suit so that it mighOnot be creased during the drive to Cedar Crest.' - " yant this suitcase strapped again?" he asked curtly. ,"If you please," I returned, equally laconic. He strapped it, and I put the last things into my bag, then prowled around the room, as is always my custom when leaving a place, to see that I have packed everything. As I came back to the bag, preparatory to locking it, I saw that Dicky was gazing at me, the dancing, impish look still in his eyes, but I fancied that it was malicious instead of mis chievous, and I knew it vhen he spoke. "Well. Faithful Fido lias his uses, tfter all!" he drawled. Dicky by the Ears. It took all of my resolution to keep the promise I had just made myself. But though I was able to keep my words back, I could not help the resentful flush which spread over my face.- Still, without a word, I locked my suitcase, put the key in the beaded purse I carried, and, taking my suit over one arm, my heavy coat over the other, I started for the door. "Does it hurt its little feelings to have drate big man called names?" Dicky tantalized, and I1 noticed that his voice was a trifle sharper than before. "Well, we won't do any thing like that again. We'll only knock his block off it he butts in many more times around these dig gings." There was a distinct edge to his voice now, and I realized that my silence Was infuriating him more than caustic words could have done, so cast about for the quickest way of placating him. I felt very much the doormat wife as I pondered, but it wasn't exactly a Patient Griselda method which I finally used. WitTfa quick movement I put my cloak and suit down on a chair, flew to the door, locked it and thrust the key in my dress. Then, inarching up, to my husband, I grasped him by both- ears and bent his bead toward mine so that I looked him squarely in the eyes; ' Madge Wins. ".What the dev " Dicky began. ' "The devil, indeed," I said. "I warn. you that I'm a-desperate wom an.

Then I'll think up some story to tell em." ' I knew that if I could'get Dicky to laugh everything would be all right. But for a long minute, while his eyes held niine, I trembled for the out come of my silly ruse. Finally, how ever, after black anger had succeed ed, astonishment I saw the sternness relax and the impish smile come back and I knew that I had triumphed. "You little devil!" he said, pulling my hands down from his ears, and roughly clasping me in his arms, "-Tve a notion, to shake vou until your hair comes down.

For an instant I .hesitated, my pride battling with the instinct that told me I: ought to concede some thing also, even though I was not conscious of doing anything that did not lie within my right to do. Then I shut the door once again. ' "Haven't you , forgotten some thing?" I asked saucily, then I ran to him and put my arms around his neck.

Everyone looks at me and smiles. Moreover, when I dance, I don't like to talk. I want to glide along, as it were, in a dream hypnotised by the spell ''of the music. And when I pick a short girl, she doesn't feel comfortable enough to want to talk. I used to pick an average sized girl but it didn t pan out well.
