the important battle of Monmouth, N, ]. In
the latter battle her husband, gunner, had
fallen, when she sprang to his place and fired
the cannon.
Molly had been carrying water to the SOL
diers from spring, the mercury being at SO
degrees in the shade. AS no one was able to
take his place when he became incapacitayed,
it is said she dropped her pail, seized the
rammer, and vowed that she would avenge
his death. She proved an excellent substi-
tute, her courage exciting the admiration of
all, and on the following morning, in her soiled
garments, General Greene presented her to
Washington, who praised her gallanuy and
commissioned her sergeant.
1t is related she received many presents
from the French officers and that she would
sometimes pass along the French lines, cooked
hat in hand, and would get it almost filed with
coins. She is said to have served in the army
nearly eight years in all. She was placed on
the list Of halfpay officers and for many years
after the Revolution lived at the Carlisle bar
racks, cooking and washing for the soldiers.
The house in which she spent her later
years in Carlisle was demolished in recent
years. She died January 22 1923, at the age
of seventy-nine. and was buried with military

and one or another of these regulation salutes

dependent gun crews recruited for the Fourth
continue to claim extensive license in this
respect. There several different salutes
as prescribed in Uncle Sans books of regu-

one gun for every state in the Union. By

world Sometimes this opinion is
created by what an Intelligent child
has learned through older people,
sometimes it comes of the children's
own reasoning. And the chilT1 who
fails in the etiquette demanded from

the surest and severest way. Public

There may be suggestion for older
people in this method of treating Of

by the family's ostracism may bring a
rude or indifferent-mannered little

else.

the Fourth of July salutes for noise making
was genuine fun for the men who did it years
ago, whereas it is no more nor less than
detail OF the days work for Uncle Sans gun
ners Indeed it may surprise some of our
readers to learn that there are artillerymen
In our regular army and meno'-war'smen on
our naval vessels who thoroughly detest the
roar OF the big guns. 1t is not that they are
afraid or are lacking in experience, for some
OF these men have been in the service for
years and have repeatedly faced death in
variety of forms and yet many veteran
never gets over his dislike of the din at close
range.

strain of waiting for each report and bracing

on the nervous system Of the gunner, to say
nothing of the unpleasant experience that fol-
lows the discharge when the gunner is struck

Adequate Rest Is Necessary.

Prof. Frederic S. Lee of Columbia
university, New York, writing on the
subject, "The Physiology of Rest and
Exercise" in the Journal of the Out
door Life for June, shows by expert
ments on dissected frogs the way in
which exercise tires the muscles and,
in fact, all the organs of the body. He
says, There is no known antidote
to fatigue, unless it be rest, with all
that rest implies. Sleep allows the
reparative processes of rest to be
performed most quickly and complete
ly. A moderate degre of fatigue, or
even a considerable decree, when not
too often incurred, Is not detrimental
to healthy body and is even to be
advised. The healthy body is pro-
vided with great recuperative pow
ers, and does not rapidly succumb to
even excessive demands on it's en-
ergy. But it should be allowed the
proper condition for recuperatiop, and
that condition is adequate rest. There
Is danger when the fatigue of one
days labor is not eliminated before
the next days work is begun. The ef-
feet may be cumulative, the tissues
may be in continued state of depres-
sion, and the end may be disastrous" /"

The best-known Of all the American hero
ines of battle is Molly Pitcher, the story of
whose adventures, especially on the battle
field at Monmouth, is one Of the most pictur-
esque incidents of the revolutionary war. The
early life of Molly is somewhat vague. She
is supposed to have been born at Carlisle, Pa,
October 13, 1744. Her right name was Mary
Ludwig, and while the soldiers were only IA
miliar with her first name, calling her Molly,
they soon applied the second, because wher-
ever they saw Molly they also saw the pitcher
with which she carried water to the sick and
wounded in the camps.
Several writer's say Molly came to this coun-
try from Germany with her parents, who were
among the Palatines. The first information
we have of her is that she was employed as
maid in the family of General Irvine at Car
Isle, and on July "a, 1859. was married to
John Hays, barber. Her husband was COM
missioned gunner in Proctor's First Pennsyl-
vania artillery Continental line, December l,
IT'S, and Molly followed him to the field. This
was common thing for the wives of private
soldiers to do, their time being passed in
laundering for the officers.
At the assault at Fort Clinton she showed
much pluck and also the following year in

Every saluting vessel in the United States
navy will thunder out salute to independence
day no matter whether she be at anchor in
foreign port, tied up in one of our navy yards
or cruising out of sight of land in tho open
sea- The national salute is the one used just
as it is on Memorial day and on Washington 8
birthday. The salute of minute guns is pre-
scribed under certain conditions in the navy,
but the regulation interval between guns In
all salutes including the national salute OF
twenty-one guns is five seconds. During the
firing of the salute all the officers and men
stand at attention. 1t is customary for for.
eign warships anchored in American harbors
to fire salute in compliment to the United
States on the Fourth and the same courtesy
is usually shown by foreign forts and warships
when Yankee naval craft are spending the
eventful holiday in alien waters. Whenever
any foreign authorities or ships fire our ma
tional salute, the firing is no sooner concluded
than an officer from the American ship in
port makes an official call upon the foreign
officials and extends thanks.

parallel lines. The state holds over

PERMIT FOR DRUM POINT
Public Service Commission Willing
10 Grant Application For
Road From MillersviIIe To
Calvert County.
EARNEST APPEALS MADE.
Cleveland Capitalists Will Probably
Finance The New Road.

After listening to pleas of counsel
for MIR. Littleton Nj. Sturgis. presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Virginia
Railroad, and the pleas of the coun-
sci representing the County Commits
sioners of Anne Arundel and Calvert
counties, the Public Utilities Commits
sion announced Wednesday that it ex-
pected to give permission to Mr..
Sturgis to begin construction on the
railroad from Millersville, Anne Arun-
del county, to Drum Point, Calvert
county.
The permission will be contingent,
however, upon the Endorsement of the
plans by the Commissioners of Anne
Arundel and Calvert counties. As
Messrs. j. Frank Parran and James
w. Owens, who appeared as counsel,
representing these Commissioners,
stated that the counties wanted the
railroad and wanted it badly, it is
thought that it will be virtually but
matter of a day or two when the
permission will be given by the Public
Service Commission.
Both Mr.. Parran and Mr.. Owens
made earnest appeals to the committee
for favorable view of the PROPOSE
tion, the two speakers stating that
such road is not only prime neces-
sity for the sections of the State which
they represent, but that the people of
these sections are decidedly in favor
of the proposed road
Mr.. Sturgis in his testimony showed
what had already been done on the
road and what was proposed in the fu-
ture, expressing his belief that every
thing would turn out we'll and that
there seemed to be nothing at present
to prevent the success of the plans.
He was represented by Attorneys

Mr.. George t. Bishop, president of

Mr.. George A. Craig, chief engineer,
were in Baltimore Wednesday to look
after the interests of the Cleveland
capitalists who own the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis and who will
probably finance the new road.
The right of way of the Drum Point
road connects with the Annapolis di-
vision of the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis near MillersvilIe and
the traffic of the former will enter
Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis
over the tracks of the latter.
