Dual Nationality.
Youth’* Companion.
Not long ago a citizen of New Or
leans nuked the State Department
whether it could protect him from
being called on for military aervice in
France if, aa aeemed to him necessary,
he should go there on business. The
man was burn in this country, but bis
father, who came from France, did not
become a naturalized citizen of the
United Staten until his son had attained
his majority.
Toe State Department could only tell
him that the French code holds "every
person born of a Frenchman in France
or abroad" to be aj citizen of France,
and if a male, liable to military service.
The case attracted wide attention. Ex-
President Roosevelt, in discusiting it,
declared that it is time for our Govern
ment to repudiate the doctrine of dual
nationality.
But that is by no means a simple
matter. In our diplomatic archives
there are volumes filled with corres
pondence and negotiations that have
grown out of cases like this one, and
there is small likelihood that the na
tions will Boon come to an understand
ing.
The American contention is itself
glaringly inconsistent. We hold that
children born of foreign parents on
American soil are born American citi
zens; that is, that the place of birth de
termines the nationality; but we do not
permit the rule to work both ways.
We say, "All children born out of the
limits and jurisdiction of the United
States, whoso futhers may be at the
time of their birth citizens thereof, are
declared to be citizens of the United
States.” That is exactly the French
law by which the resident of New Or
leans, whom we regard as an American
citizen because he was born here, is
claimed by France because he was born
before hia French father was natural
ized here.
The present war will bring up new
problems of citizenship, lor there are
thousands of American citizens, both
native-born and naturalized, now in the
ranks of the belligerents. Under our
laws they forfeited their Amencun citi
zenship when they look the oath of al
legionce to the flag under which they
are fighting. It is uncertain whether
that oath in itsvlf makes them citizens
of the State they are Bcrving, or wheth
er, to be citizens, they must also com
ply with its naturalization luws; but
Bluet! it ewers their citizenship ins
with the United Slates, it makes them
in a sense men without a country. Yet
presumably it is the intention of most
of them to return to this country, if
they survive the war.

Years ago there was a young couple
who had determined to start their
married life with the good religious
customs of their old homes, where
fsmily prayers were held every night.
They began all right, but one
night, alter they hud been in the
new house for a week, a severe
electrics! storm came up just us the
little aervice started. Ab the storm in
creased the young woman shivered and
shook with girlish fear, while the hus
band calmly read to the end of a long
chapter, and then, kneeling beside his
chair, began praying fervently, wholly
oblivious to the flash and crush of the
storm without.
Finally rising, he looked about for
hia new wile. She was nowhere to be
seen. But the old-fashioned leather-
bed in the corner of the room was all
in a heap, and a choked voice from
within it gasped out:
"I’m—I'm glad you could pray, dear
est, but—out —1 thought maybe the
feathers would help too!"
An Easterner who had bought a farm
in California had heard of his neighbor's
talent for raising large potatoes, so

“Vou go back home,” answered the
talented farmer to the messenger, "and
tell your ho-s that I won’t cm a potato
far anyone.”

Joseph attended school in one of the
Isrger cities of the Central States. One
day, having vexed his room teacher by
misconduct, he was sent into the hall to
wait until Hhe had time to correct him.
One of his departmental instructors
came along, and aeeing him in the hull
said. "Joseph, you mustn't be loitering
in the halls. Go to your room and re
port to your teacher!” Joseph raised
his hand to explain, but she Baid, "Put
your hand down and go into your room
at once!"
Joseph had just slipped into his seat
when his room teacher saw him.
"Joseph, 1 sent you into the hall to re
main until I came. What are you doing
in here?" Joseph raised his hand to
explain "Put your hand down and go
into the hall at once!”
Joseph returned to the hall, but
again met his departmental instructor.
"Joseph, I thought I sent you to your
room!" Hhe exclaimed. "Either go
into your room or down into the yard.”
The room teacher, going into the
hall u few minutea later, could not find
Joseph. Thin\ing he had gone to the
yard, she followed him. "I told you to
remain in the hall until 1 came !” she
angrily exclaimed. "You may go and
report to the principal.” Joseph again
raised his hand to explain. "Put your
hand down and go to the principal at
once!"
The principal was quite busy and did
not wish to be bothered, so whei
Joseph opened the doo , she said,
"Well, Joseph, have you been a bad
boy again? Go to your room and be
have yourself!" Again Joseph raised
his hand to explain. "Put your hand
down," she said, "and go to your room
at once and behave, as I told you.”
Joseph, who was in tearB by this
time, did not go to the room, but went
instead to that of the primary teacher,
who was quite a friend of his. "Why,
Joseph, what is the matter?” asked his
friend.
Dashing the tears from his eyes, he
said, ‘ ‘I’m degusted— being made a
fool of by them teachers!"

Nut lung ago, while making a jour
ney by rail, the bishop wub unable to
find his ticket when the conductor
asked for it.
"Never mind, bishop,” said the con
ductor, who knew him well, "I'll get it
on my second round.”
However, when the conductor passed
through the cur again, the ticket was
still missing.
"On, well, bishop, it will be all right
if you never find it!” the conductor as
suit'd him.
"No, it won’t, my friend,” contra
dicted the bishop. "I've got to find
that ticket. I want to know where I’m
going."—Youth’s Companion.
Some time ago Brown rushed into the
kitchen where his wife was bossing the
preparation of the evening hash. In
one of his fists he was holding his
other hand, while a cussy expression
was floating over bis features.
"Whero is that antiseptic salve,
Minnie?" he demanded. "That in
fernal parrot of yours has bitten a
chunk out of my hand!"
"What’s that, Jimmy!" exclaimed
wifey, with a look of concern. "Do
you mean to say that he bit a piece all
the wuy out of your hand?”
"That’s what he did," answered
James. "Clean as a whistle. Where
did you say that salve was?"
"Oh, Jimmy,” returned wife in a com
plaining voice, "I do wish you would
be more careful. You know the bird
dealer told me not to let that parrot
taste meat under any circumstances."
A good sport is the man who not
only grins and hears defeat, but also
endures a triumph without too much
grinning. He is the fellow who is con
siderate of the other fellow's feelings,
und is always ready and willing to lend
a hand to a le s fortunato brother. He
is the fellow who would scorn to take
advantage of any chunce unfairly pre
sented to him. He is frank and above
board in all things and does not try to
shift the blame where it does not be
long. When at work he puts his best
into the work, and when al play he al
ways plays fairly. He can always be
depended upon to do what is set before
him to the best of his ability. A good
sport is the kind of fellow everyone
should be.

ELUSIVE LIGHTNING.
On* of Nature's Greatest and Molt Ef-
♦ective Dramatic Actors.
During a thunder storm we get an
Inkling of how fearfully and wonder
fully the universe In which we lire is
made and wliat energy mid activity its
apparent passivity and opacity mark.
A Hush of lightning out of a storm
cloud seems instantly to transform the
whole passive universe Into a terrible
living power.
If we were to see and hear it for the
first lime, would we not think that the
Judgment day had really collie> That
the great seals of the hook of lute were
being brokenV
What on awakening It Is'. What >l
revelation! What n fearfully dramatic
actor suddenly leaps upon the stage!
Had we been permitted to look liehlnd
the scenes, we could not have found
him; he was not there, except, poten
tially; he was horn Hnd equipped In a
twinkling. One stride, and one word
which shakes the house, nnd lie Is gone;
gone ns quickly ns he came. Look be
hind the curtain nnd lie 1s not there.
He lias vanished more completely
Ilian any stage ghost over vanished—
lie has withdrawn Into the Innermost
recesses of the atomic structure of
matter, nnd Is diffused through the
clouds, to ho called hack again, ns the
elemental drama proceeds, ns suddenly
as before.
All matter Is charged with electricity,
either actual or potential; the sun Is
hot with It. nnd doubtless our own
heartbeats, our own thinking bruins,
are Intimately related to It; yet It Is
pnlpnblc nnd visible only In this sudden
nnd extraordinary way. It. defies our
nnnlysls, It defies our definitions; It Is
Inscrutable and Irapondernble, yet It
will do our errands, light our houses,
cook our dinners nnd pull our loads.
JIow humdrum nnd constant nnd pro-
sale the other forces—gravity, cohesion,
chemical ntfiulty and capillary attrac
tion—seem when compnred with this
force of forces, electricity. How deeply
nnd quietly It slumbers at one time,
how terribly active It becomes at an
other, bellowing through the heavens
like, an Infuriated nnd destroying god!

USE SENSE IN EATING.
A Person May Be Fat and Still Lack
Proper Nourishment.
The majority of people do not under
stand that a person may be fat. exces
sively fat. and still he underfed nnd
weak from lack of proper nourish
ment.
One may eat to excess of starch
foods, hot breads, oils nnd sweets and
ns a result lie rolling In fat nnd at the
same time show a severe ease of mal
nutrition. evidenced by lack of strength
In muscular effort or rnentnl concentra
tion.
The system needs these foods, for
they nre known ns the “fuel foods” be
cause they furnish the body heat, but
the system also needs nn abundance
of the very elements of which the
hotly or, rather, the muscular fiber Is
composed. These muscle making foods
are fresh meat, eggs nnd milk, fresh
vegetables and fruits.
If one is In the hnlilt of cntlng rath
er henrtlly of mixed diet nnd Is grow
ing fat upon It. then reduce the amount
of sweets, starches nnd fats, nnd you
will find plenty of nourishment In the
muscle building foods.
In addition to attention to diet, how-
over, attention must he paid to the
need of fresh air nnd exercise If one
would keep from becoming too fnt If
you would have a good figure practice
deep breathing nnd exercise In ad
dition to cutting down on your diet.

Mr. Jeptha Wade, a well-known
Cleveland man, has a winter home at
Thomssville, Ga. One of his sons is an
amateur balloonist, and occasionally
makes an ascent from Thomaaville. If
the family fail to hear promptly from
him, they set forth in d motor car and
search until they find him.
One day, when the roads were slip-
peij with mud, the automobile skidded
and Blid part way down a bank. It
brought up without damage BgainHt a
large tree. Mr. Wade could not get it
back on the road, and appealed for help
to a farmer ploughing in the field be
low. The farmer hitched hia team to
the front axle, and soon pulled the car
out of trouble.
Mr. Wade looked back, and said,
“That tree Baved us from a bad acci
dent; if, it had -not been there, we
should have turned over and been badly
hurt."
"Yea, suh," drawled the farmer,
‘ that ccrt’nly is a useful tree! This
mornin' a young feller in a balloon got
stuck in it,(and I had to h’isthim out."
"Why, that was our son!” exclaimed
both Mr. and Mrs. Wade excitedly.
The farmer looked at them for a mo-
mentjwith allpuzzed expression; then
his face lighted up with a smile, and he
said:
"I reckon you folks would find life
easier if you„was to stay home more. ”
North Carolina’s drastic prohibition
laws are being threatened seriously by
a new “pizen” invented by the sons
of Hyde county. It is a substitute for
corn liquor called "meal beer,” or "rip
gizzard," and is highly intoxicating. It
is said to have the far-famed "licker”
which makes a jack rabbit spit in a
bull-dog's eye looking like a dose of
soothing syrup. The recipe calls for a
peck of meal, ten pounds of sugar and
two or three pounds of dried apples.
Five gallonsjof water are added, and
the concoction is set back of the stove
or in the sun to ferment. In a few
days it has "worked," and is then
drawn off ready for the consumer. Ne
groes are making great quantities of
"rip gizzard.”
Statistics for the year 1914-15 as to
waning exports of agricultural machin
ery from the United States indicate the
extent to which one of the largest of
the national industries has been affected
by the interruption of peace. PundB
that formetly were put into plows,
binders and reapers are now going into
cannon, and harvests that might have
been gathered with ingeniously devised
labor-saving machinery will now be
garnered in primitive ways by women,
veteran men and prisoners of war.
Thus is obscured that vision of the day
when implements of war were to be
turned into implements of agriculture.
But It is coming, nevertheless!
