The question of Bhort versus long periods of practice In training the hu man muscles for any particular kind of work is obviously one having far- reaching application. Some interest- ng experiments on this subject have been carried out by Dr. K. S. Lnshley of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi tion of skill in archery was selected as the subject of observation! Twenty untrained persons were, divided into three groups. One group shot live arrows with the English longbow per day; another, twenty shots per day; and the third, forty shots. The re sults showed conclusively that the group shooting only five times a day improved in accuracy with less .ex penditure of time in practice than wub required by either of the other groups for the same amount of improvement. A report on the experiment says: “The relatively greater efficiency of short periods of practice continuing for many days 1b In accordance with the results of the study of animals and of speech habits In man, and In dicates that la training to muscular feats, iu both animals and men, the length of practice periods required is ,. usually too great for maximum effi ciency."—Scientific American. He Should Worry. “How do you account for Nero fid dllng during the burning of Rome?" asked the professor. “I suppose he had' the place heavily Insured,” suggested the senior who was specializing in finance. His Mistake. “JoneB is a self-made man.” “I know. He surely made a mis take In not consulting an expert." INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, if Not Remedied. “Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago," writes a Topeka woman, “that coffee was the direct cause of the Insomnia from which 1. suffered ter ribly, as well as extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia. “I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this barm. But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. I therefore gave up coffee abruptly and absolutely,' and adopted Postum for my hot drink at meals. “I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded gradually, but surely, and It was a matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved—the nervousness passed ■ away, my diges tive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency, and I began to sleep rest- fully and peacefully. “These happy conditions have con tinued during all of the 5 years, and am safe In saying that I owe them entirely to Postum, for when X began to drink it I ceased to use medicines.'

By W. J. L. KIEHL. (Correspondent of tile Chicago News.! The Hague.—The course of true love runs anything but smoothly on the Belglan-Dutch frontier, especially when the sweethearts reside on op posite sides of the barbed-wire fence. Pete Is a Netherlander, Mleke is a Belgian; his farm stands securely .on Dutch soil, hers, precariously In “Lit tle Germany" (as the Germans call Belgium). At first the lovers had not noticed much of the war, which has left tlielr district almost untouched; then a Btrong wire fence was put up and German detachments of cavalry continually patrolled the Belgian side, while sentries were placed at Inter vals with loaded rifles and fixed bay onets. Now It was no longer possible to hold sweet converse at eventide after the farm work was done. All that re mained was to walk, he oh one Bide of the wire, she on the other, and cast loving glances at each other, for the Germans would allow no talk across the border. At laBt the, swain, spoke of his sad plight Jo an acquaintance who for a consideration made It hts business to conduct Belgian refugees into Hol land. ’Would Louis (that was the ac quaintance's name) take him across on Saturday night so that he could pnsB the whole Sunday with hts Mleke? And Louis promised to do so on the very next Saturday, when he was due on the other side to meet fugitives at a certain prearranged place to take them safely Into Holland. That Saturday evening was damp and misty. “Just the right sort of weather for us,” Louis enthusiastically put it, but his companion could not quite agree with him, as he waded through marshes to the dike beyond which stretched the wire fence. He was wearing his Sunday best and the seeping mud did not Improve the ap pearance of hts nether garments. But Louis assured him this marshy land was just the safest spot to get across. As they approached the dike Louis cautioned Pete not to whisper or even breathe loudly. Cautiously they crawled up the dike, reached the top and raised their heads for a hasty glance around, but at once dropped them again. For there—though luck ily with his back toward them—stood sentinel. Down the dike slid the adventurers ; noiselessly as they had come. Louis assured him that a few hundred yards farther along he knew of an other sate place. This time they were more fortunate, and, like rabbits, they burrowed under and through the wire and Btood on Belgian, or perhaps we should say German, ground. “Now just a few hundred yards of marsh and then' we get Into'a good hard road,” LouIb exclaimed, and they deemed their troubles over. Then they heard the tramp of feet along the good hard road and distinguished the form of a German patrol. , The men came straight up to the gate that led into the marshy meadow where the frontier runners had hurriedly dropped to the earth. - "They're only resting," said Louis. And so It was. The Germans clam bered on to the gate and sat there talking for about a quarter of an hour, that seemed like a century to the two cramped and bedraggled men Now, however, their troubles were over. They came out into the road and soon reached the small farm where Louis was to meet the refugees Fete felt somewhat better after hearty supper and dry clothes had been provided for him by the farm er’s sympathetic wife and she had promised to clean his Sunday attire and have It ready for him to wear next morning. Sunday dawned fine and sunny. Somewhat stiff from his unwonted exercise, the strenuous suitor pro ceeded to the farm where hts Mleke lived. Mleke, her njother and Pete were eating the meal when suddenly they heard the thud of horses’ hoofs and down the bend In the road they saw a patrol of uhlans heading straight for the house. Mleke hastily pushed her gallant into the stable, then rushed back to remove the third plate und seat her self at the table as if nothing had happened. Pete hurriedly crept into a meal bin and drew down tho ltd. He must have been there for hours, when toward evening Mleke came into the stable. •Where are you, Pete?" she whis pered, and Pete crept out from his biding place as white as a miller. Mieke stopped for a laugh, then told him to get away back into Holland as fast as possible, as the uhlans were not all asleep aud this might be his only.chance, for the whole patrol had been billeted on the farm and would be in and out at all hours. So the sweethearts bade each other a hasty farewell and Pete hastened-to return by the same arduous way he had come. Now he fs once more do ing his love making through a. barbed- wire barrier. WED ONLY FOR LOVE Dean Virginia C. Gtldersleeve of Bar nard college declares that there are fewer divorces among college women than among any other class, because the college graduate Is apt to marry purely for love and not for an occu pation or a home. Motherhood, she declares, is really a profession, and a good cook may be a better one for a knowledge of Greek. The greatest value of a college educhtlon for girls, says Dean Gtldersleeve, lies In just this: that it gives them a better bal ance, a more rounded outlook and truer appreciation of life's values. The picture Is from a specially posed pho tograph of Dean Gtldersleeve. KEEP SENTRY BUSY Smugglers and Fugitives Run Gantlet on Holland EPITAPH ON STEPPING STONE Found on Under Side of Slab Just Turned Over for First Time In 50 Years. Columbia, Conn.—Needing a flat stone for repairs that he was making, Edward Phillips pried up one which for over fifty years had been used as a stepping-stone near the farmhouse back door. To his surprise he saw on the reverse side. In fairly plain letters,, tho Inscription: In memory of Emily, daughter of Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Eunice Smith, who died April IS, 1814, aged six months and Itfteen days. Best, thou, sweet slumberer, in the peace ful grave; Short was thy life; forgotten soon shortt Except’the few who, drowned in sorrow's wave, With painful pleasure still remember thee. Nobody knows where the stone had been used or where It came from. Mr. Bhillips’ father bought the house over fifty years ago and the stone was at the back door then for a stepping stone. It is five feet long and nearly two feet wide. Many Shot, but Germans Hesitate to Fire Over Line for Fear of Neu trality Violation—Lacerated In Wire Maze. Bergen-op-Zoom, Holland. — Dutch soldiers under arms stand at intervals along the Dutch-Belgian frontier near here, keen observers of the movements of the Germans in devastated Belgium. The Dutchmen, themselves not at war, live through at least some of the ex citement of actual fighting, for tn the stillness reigning over the peaceful agricultural districts about here they cuu hear from time to time the roar of cannon from the direction of Zee- brugge. Also they are often witnesses of the chase by German troops of young Belgians making a dash for the frontier In an effort to get to Holland and thence across the channel to Flan ders ( to join the Belgian army in Flanders. The Germau sentries just over the river separating the two countries never cease their vigilant lookout for these young fellows and have taken many precautions to prevent thetr crossing the line. Bushes have been cut down and obstacles in the way of a clear view of the landscape have been removed. Barbed wire entangle ments have been erected for many yards. Yet the young Belgians dare every thing. They crawl beneath the wire -in the night and with luck manage in many cases to get through at the ex pense of torn clothing and fiesh. Then, however, there is the open space be- fore the frontier to pass. This is close ly guarded by German landsturm troops, but the Belgians often try to cover It in a desperate dash under the fire of the sentries. Many of them succeed, for the Germans take good care not to fire in the direction of the frontier, as they would thus run the risk of shooting the Dutch sentinels on the other side of the line and tn this way committing a breach of neutrality. Once within Dutch territory the Bel gian youths are free. As they are not yet soldters. they cannot be interned and most of them make thetr way to a port for shipment across the channel. The Dutch troops on other parts of the frontier have to keep a sharp look out for smugglers of contraband from their own territory Into' Germany. These smugglers, because of the rich profits In case of success, are daring and risky and do not hesitate to use violence against their' own country men. - . Gasoline and horses are the most, profitable to the smugglers. The for mer brings at least treble Its former price. Sound horses of any age' feteji ’extraordinary prices from the Ger mans, anything up to $500 being, paid for draft horses. All roads leading to the frontier are closed to traffic.' Directly on the bor der line at wide intervals stand single sentries with thetr loaded rifles resting beneath their arms; About 200 yards farther back is a second'line of senti nels and behind ,these some distance In the rear are pickets of a dozen men, each with a noncommissioned officer. The smugglers naturally keep to side paths or go- acrosB country. In case they should be seen by the pick ets they are at once arrested and their loads confiscated. Often, however, at night they suc ceed In passing through the gaps be tween the pickets. Then their prog; ress becomes more difficult and their presence is often discovered by the forward lines of sentries, who fire If the smugglers, as sometimes happens, make a dash to reach the German lines.
