change in tlii- appearance of the brass and wood work, which is now Inimnc- nlatcly polisbcd and scraped in nxi ef¬ fort fo kill time. (Jerman sailors can do many wonderful things, bnt even they nre hard put to it to invent occn- patlons for tuindreds f)f activt- men. and Commandpr Thiericbens asked the representative of a society in New York Inst autumn to send ClirlKtmas presents of games nnd puzzles and in¬ door sports rather than handkerchiefs and cakes and clothing. And lately a new diversion has been attempted.
From the clinkers of the furnace room the cliffs of Dover have lieen constructed at one end of the big din¬ ing saloon. They have been built in accurate imitation of the real ones and colored white with salt. On top is n lighthouse with air guns mounted at the base. At the farther end of the room rises a miniature Zeppelin num¬ bered 1820, which flies around the room by electricity several times. It hovers for a moment over the light bouse, drops several miniature bombs and makes Its escape while the gnns go off automatically and bombard the enemy craft with missiles.
After bearing of these performances a correspondent and some friends vis ited the German encampment. Land Ing at the navy yard, they passed the huge drydocks In which ships of tre¬ mendous tonnage looked like pygmies, and soon their attention was called to a sturdy, high bow ship, flying the fisheries flag enormous strength, being rounde<l away from a sharp bow in an unusual way. This was the famous Roosevelt. Peary's arctic'ship, now in govern ment employment to protect the seal fisheries.
One of the most interesting sights at Norfolk is thc model village built by the German sailors.
At fimt sight the village resemble«l an arid waste of slag heaps, with piles of condemned material scattered all over, cinders, beaten earth and rub¬ bish ever>'where—not a tree, not a spear of grass, the acme of desolation. As tbey advaBce<l they saw a pygmy village built in close formation—curi¬ ous Ilttle houses in miniature yards, carved and painted Jn fantastic ways. This Is tbe village the Interned sailors are building out of waste material.
Befnre visiting it tbey went aboard the Eitel I"rle<lrlch, which is tied up at the do<'k and on which tbe sailors of both cnilaers are now living. - As they were leaving the boat Cap¬ tain Thierfelder of the Kronprlna Wil¬ helm Joine<l them and estxirted them to tbe village. Everj'thing was foond In spick and Ki>an aliape, and reaeni- blance* of home wetws were anany.

THE~BEST^ aYl.
Perhaps you have never yet owned a car. Perhaps yon do^ not want to keep a chauffeur and have little rne- chanlcal inclination yourself. Per¬ haps you want your wife to drive. Perhaps yon are a one-time car owner a little embittered by a sad and ex¬ pensive experience with an unsatis¬ factory car. If you are any of these it is for you we say, "We guarantee the service." The new Mitchell needs no such backing. It stays new- -it stays young -hut nevertheless, for all the long years in the niotor industry that I have s|)ent In building eonli¬ dence aniong my customers, il has been my polic.v and my practice to see that the man who bought from me got all he thought he bought, all he hoped for, and a lot that very often he didn't even expect. This, then, is for you. "VVe guarantee the service." If .vour wife drives all day on lirst speed—if she -starts on high with the emergency brake full on—"we guar¬ antee the service." If becan.se of this your engine knock, "we guarantee the service." If you don't know a grea.se cup from a spark plug, "we guarantee the service." When you buy a new Mitchell you are right— the greatest engineering brains in the nation .say sd—they bought them¬ selves. Wben you buy a new Mitchell you are safe. I say so and sign my name to It. I will sell you a car that you will be proud ot, that you will be happy In, that will give you won¬ derful, splendid motoring days that
is what we mean when we .say "we guarantee the service." (Signed) .lOSEPH HIRSCH.

"I had a fearful shock iu 1904 when I dbxovercd that my husband hnd lost money on the Stook Exchange--all our mone.vs that were not in trust.
'Onr beautiful home at (iravenhnrst had to be sold and with it mnny of its world fame<l art treasures, incliidliu: gifts from Marie Antoinette to ibe fyord Auckland of that time, who wa-i ambassador to France.
"I found that unless 1 workeil we could not keep our eldest son at Eton. and to take him from there at tbat time would have ruined his career.
