Francis, u crippled Welehm:tn, who
travelled 13,000 milee from under the
southern sun to sing to the Australian
anti Now Zealand soldiers in hospitals
and tamps and on the firing line in
France. Skipper Franels's song is
simple, without a touch of the poetic
frenzy that is expected In an inspiring
song. But it was- taken up by the
hard -fighting Anzacs, and during mo-
ments of great joy or clanger it seem-
ed to satisfy their souls. Whoa a
traneport was sinking, when the Ger-
mans were- coming on like ai. storm,
when the King came to review, when
victory was, at hand, Skipper Francis's
song was ellouted and piped, whistled
(Ind swig, like an anthem from thefts -
ands of throats.
Australia Will De There,
Tho song goon thus:
"Rally rolu.d the Banner, the Banner
of your country,
And lake the tieid with brothers o'erI
the foam;
On land and sea, wherever you be,
Keep your eye on Germany,
But Britain, home and Beauty
Had no cause to fear,
Should Auld Acquaintance be forgot?
No! No! No! No! No!
Australia will be there!
Australia will be there!
Shipper Francis's life history is in-
tereeting, Ile was born in Wales in.
IS36, and, through an accident to his
right leg and foot, was permanently
crippled. This severe handicap did not .
prevent him, however, from becoming
an athlete. , By vigorous training he
came to excel in many fields of sport.
In August, 1912, he swam Bristol Chan-
nel, from Penarth to Newport, a dis-
tance of fifteen miles. He was in lIel-
bourne, Australia, when the war open-
ed, and ho immediately volunteered
for tho service. He was rejected by
every fighting branch because o£ his
physical incapacity. Intensely'patrio-
tic, he brooded over his inability to
go to the front, In October of 1914 he
composed his song, writing both words
and music. IIe visited Broachneadows
Camp, near Melbourne, and told the
soldiers that he had a song for then'.
IIe sang his lay, "Australia Will Be
There," and before he left the canton-
ment every soldier knew the song and
was singing ft. From that moment the
song grew in popularity, like "Over
There" in this country. It was accept-
ed as the official marc!' song of the
Australian Expeditionary Forces in
the salve Month, and was sung by the
troops on their farewell march through
Melbourne Dec, 17, 1914, Never a
troopship left Australian shores but
"Australia will Be There" was sung by
both populace and soldiers.
Sung at Gallipoli.
When the transport Southland was
torpedoed and sunk on September 2,
1915, the Australians sang as they
rowed away from the doomed vessel,
and they were singing the Skipper's
song, Whon the Anzacs captured the
advanced trenches at Gallipoli in one
of the most stirring of campaigns, his
song filled the air at the charge. It
was sung when the Ballarat was tor-
pedoed in the English Channel on April
25, 1917; at billets on the Western
Front, in France, In Flanders, Pales-
tine, and Africa.
An official report of an action on the
western front gives this episode deal-
ing with the lay:
"At the height' of an action on the
western front ate Australian subaltern
mounted a parapet with a tin whistle
n his hand, He played1
i <,'Aastta 1a Will
he e.' The 1)t
Do P en oh •
1 0,100(1 as they
fed the machine guns, declaring that
he would attract the Huns with his
music, and they would offer better tar -
gots, The subaltern then proceeded
to play 'The Watch on the Rhine; upon
which the enemy machine gunners,
greatly iucelsed, seemed to concen-
trate their fire upon hint."
The song was played as an oVerture
at every London theatre when Prime
Minieter Hugheshes arrived;e
d the King
and Queen heart! It on March 22, 1016;
it was played and sung during the
"Silver Bullet'. loan campaigns in
Groat Britain and during ono of the
Liberty Loan campaigns in New York,

Dollars In Old Iron.
On almost every farm there is a
scrap heap of old iron, or wornout
tools and machinery which would be
worth dollars when collected and sold
to the jun!( buyers in town. Nearly
every town has someone who buys
iron scraps, and since the war has:
increased the demand for iron, prices'
paid have gone up. In my town the
t
price has ranged from 910 to $12 per
ton. Enough of such scrap has been
collected and sold by the farmers of
this community during the past few
months to make up six carloads. It
Inas returned a good many dollars to�
the farmers' pockets that otherwise,
would have been wasted. Then, too,
such old material can be melted down
and converted into new machinery or
other necessaries to help supply the
nation's needs, so olfe is really per-
forming a patriotic duty.
On nearly every farm worn or out-
of-date machinery has been pulled
aside and replaced with new machin-
ery, while the old is left in some out-
of-the-way spot with the idea that
some part, if not the whole machine,
will some day become useful. how-
ever, the old machine is seldom used
because the parts to it 'do not fit the
new machines. Even the bolts and
nuts .in the old machines are not as
useful as one might think. Most of
us have had the experience of losing
a burr off a part of a machine, then
when we try to fit another of the same
size, the thread is differen't, .If we
try •a new bolt, it may answer the
pnrpose but probably won't fit, Each
manufacturer seems to have taken
special pains to make every pa1't of
his machine, and even the bolts and
nuts, a little different from all others.
Purely a trick to ,increase his sales.
This is a condition remediable only by
appropriate legislation, Farmers
would save themselves a great deal of
trouble and annoyance by demanding
that their representatives pass a law
requiring manufacturers to use stand-
ard rods where possible, and uniform
bolts with threads cut with standard
dies.
So the junk heap is of little ma-
terial value on the f arm. Add to this
the unsightliness of old wornout ma-
chinery clutteringY up the premises and
we have ample reason for malting -a
clean-up day. The old machines have
done their work, so now let ns cash
in on the salvage,—P, E.
Lend Turtles.
Quite a profitable business is done
in some large English towns by lend-
ing turtles to restaurants, They are
permitted to remain in the windows
for a few days, and are then taken to
different paints of the town as adver-

COLORED COOKS.
Will Dusky Damsels Replace Mary
and Jane In Engl;sh Homes?
"At last I have got a servant!" ex-
claimed an English housewife who had
been trying for weeks to get a good
cook -general, "Maria is a colored
woman, and I nearly had a fit when
site applied for the job. But 1t seems
as if my experiment is going to be a
success. Maria is an economical cook,
scrupulously clean, is content with a
moderate wage, and asks for none of
the privileges which modern servants
demand,"
So far, so good; but the incident is
illustrative of a creeping menace
which is daily getting more serious
where women's work is concerned,
says a London magazine, Many people
are solving the servant difficulty by
employing a black woman or a Chinese
BABY'S GREAT DANGER,
DUMM. 1107 WEATHER
More little ones die during the hot
weather than at any other time of the
year. Diarrhoea, dysentry, cholera in-
fantum and stomach troubles come
without warning, and when a medicine
is not at hand to give promptly the
short delay too frequently means that
the child has passed beyond aid.
Baby's Own Tablets should always be
I kept in the house where there are
young children. An occasional dose
of the Tablets will prevent stomach
and bowel troubles, or if the trouble
comes suddenly the prompt use of 1010
Tablets will relieve the baby. The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers

COLOR SCHEMES IN FOOD.
Calories Are Not the Only Important
Feature of the Menu.
A well-known chef says the proper
use of color in meals is tremendously
important; that it would be a crime to ,
serve potatoes and eau lh"iower, as both
are white; that one should have a
green and a white vegetable, or some
other color,
- So we must consider the color
scheme of foods quite as well as the
calories. We supposed we had learned
all there was to be known concerning
foodstuffs when we studied the tables
of Calories as pertain to the general
foods that are still within reach of per-
sons who have steady employment at
high wages. But it seems not; colors
and color schemes are also essential.
Nor must the subject be considered
facetiously. It is a serious proposi-
tion and there is really some sense in
it. Anyone who has had to sit down to
a faded and pallid dinner, with never
any oolor in anything upon the table—
even the fresh food being sallow and
emaciated—can now understand that
his loss of appetite was due to a
faulty color scheme rather than to in-
ternal disarrangement. We are strong
now for the Dolor scheme, and shall
look forward to rainbow meals—to
mottled breakfasts, to variegated
lunches and to dinners that glint and
glimmer with the hues of the scintil-
lating dewdrop.
domestic service there is every chance
that they will find this avenue of worst
largely blocked against them.
One lady who wanted a children's
nurse lately tried in vain to obtain the
service of an English girl at a moder-
ate salary, and ultimately she engaged
a Chinese nurse, So careful and com-
petent has the latter proved, that at
least two of the lady's friends, when
wanting nurses, followed her example
right away. Again, an Indian ayah,
who travelled over hero to bring her
young chafges to school not long ago,
in less than a week received five ad-
vantageous offers to remain in Eng-
land as a nurse. -
A woman employment agent de-
clared that, whereas before the war
no colored woman would have dreamt
of going to her agency to obtain em-
ployment, she never has any difficulty
in finding them employment,
In one particular case a rather well-
known lady with a good staff of ser-
vants, who would have been aghast at
having a colored maid five years ago,
recently wrote for an additional house-
maid—"preferably a Chinese girl";
while, when the proprietor of a cer-
tain seaside tea and luncheon room ad-
vertised for a woman cook, out of
eleven applicants four were colored
women—a big proportion when you
think of conditions a couple of years
back,
Fortunes In School Books.
School books, Like cookery books,
rani( among the most profitable of all
publications, says the London Chron-
icle. Dr, Creightoli published many
weighty tomes before his promotion
to the See of London put a stop to his
literary work. Yet none of these, ho
once confessed, brought hint in so
much looney as a shilling history
Primer which he wrote in a few weeks.
"This printer," he explained, "is a
handy size for boys to throw at one
another, and the lire of most copies
is therefore very short."

Jackson, the late First thea Lord• Ar -
ter having qualified ee a gunnery spec-
ialist Commander fisher served for
a short time on the fluff of the
Director of Target Practice, Later he
jolted H.M.S. Bellerophon as Gunnery
Officer and when in 1912 Mr, Winston
Churchill lntroduced staff training in-
to the Navy Colnmmnder Fisher was
one of the first batch of officers to
take the Staff course, ultimately being
selected to remain on as a lecturer at
the Naval College at Portsmouth.
When war broke out he went to sea
with Admiral Sir Alexander Bethel,
the then president of the War College,
as Flag Commander in the Reserve
Fleet. He was associated here with
the important work of safeguarding
the passage of the Expeditionary
Force to France, and was present at
the landing of a small force of Royal
Marines at Ostend in September, 1914.
With the termination of this work in
the winter of 1914 he joined the trade
Division of the Naval War Staff at the
Admiralty and was there in charge of
that part of the organization set up to
deal with questions relating to neutral
shipping. These were the early days
of the blockade and neutral steamers
were doing their best to evade the
Naval Patrols and carry supplies to
Germany via neutral ports, Com-
mander Fisher took a prominent part
in devising and carrying out the sys-
tem of supervising the movements and
cargoes, etc., to neutral vessels by
means of control over their supplies
of bunker coal at ports at home and
abroad. This system, when 11) .full
working order, materially lightened
the arduous task of the cruisers em-
ployed on blockade duty, because it
was one of the conditions that all
ships bound to or from countries ad-
jacent to Germany should call volun-
tarily for examination at a British
port,
Commander Fisher's services in this
matter havo recently been recognized
by the award of a C.B.E.
In 1016 he was employed as techni-
cal representative in the various ne-
gotiations for the use of neutral ship-
ping by the Allies. This work was of
vital importance to France and Italy
and indirectly to this country also, in
maintaining supplies during the most
difficult part of the war. Incidentally,
Commander Fisher gathered a valu-
able knowledge of the shipping in-
terests of Europe,
During this period Commander Fish-
er served on various Government Com-
mittees dealing with commercial and
shipping matters, including amongst
others the Coal Exports Committee
presided over by Sir Douglas Owen
and the Board of Trade Committee for
the Conservation of Coal, presided
01/01.' by Sir William Marwood. It is
not without interest that the latter
Committee, on a motion by Comm end-
er Fisher, supported by Sir Richard
Rednlayne, passed a resolution which
ultimately led to the introduction of
the Daylight Saving Bill by the then
Homo Secretary, Mr. Herbert Samuel,
In the summer of 1917, soon after
the United States carte into the war,
a liaison officer was appointed to link
the British Ministry of shipping with
the American shipping board. Sir
Thomas -.Boyden was first chosen for
this important post and he was follow-
ed by Commander Fisher, who filled
this difficult and responsible position
with marked success,
In America Commander Fisher had

nity at all cost, "he's not much of an
officer."

any corn, the soreness Is relieved and
soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts
out with the fingers.

dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without in-
flaming or even irritating the surround-
