Do You Hear Minister
or Dream Big Dreams?

The young girl sits In her seat
dreaming of the handsome young man
who will drive to the door early in
the afternoon in his machine. and of
the subsequent trip to Williamsburg,
Cedar Springs or elsewhere, with the
delicious meal, followed by the home
ward drive.
Potatoes Worry Grocer.
Further down the aisle young man
is rehearsing words and actions which
he believes will be the result Of chang
ing the whole course of his life. Next
him the grocer is planning how he
will have the potatoes moved from one
bin to another and sorted the first
thing Monday morning.
Here sits little old lady who is
deeply interested in the sermon, and
who will discuss 1t at length at the
dinner table.
A newspaper reporter, drifting along
with the pastors thoughts, occasional
ly takes few notes when he can
spare the time from dreaming how he
will win everlasting fame by breaking
into New York some day and scoring
big scoop" for his paper.
The housewife next him is planning
school dresses for the children, while
her neighbor is making a mental list
of the things which she must be sure
to take on the vacation trip when she
and her husband start the next day.
Pastors need not feel discouraged
by this exposure. Much of their
thought slips into the sub-consciOus-
ness of the hearers and recurs some
time as happy thought, the source
of which can not be traced.

able powder is being used to propel
shell and shrapnel from field guns, but
the probabilities are that it is playing
it's part in the great struggle
1t is wonderful thing that cannon
may be fired day or night without re-
vealing their position. In the days of
the charcoal powders u cloud of white
smoke belched from a gun at the mo-
ment of discharge. Sometimes it set
tied around the gun position, some
times it hung low over the field or fire,
sometimes it rose high. and sometimes
hoated away, but it always instantly
revealed to the enemy the position of
the gun or guns, no matter with what
secrecy the artillery had occupied it's
position and no matter how cleverly it
had been masked. At the first fire the
guns told where they were and became
a target for other guns. In those days
the guns were laid for direct fire.
where the target is visible through the
sights of the gun and the gun may be
visible from the target-and the smoke
told it's story to the enemy.
With the incoming of the nitro
glycerin and nitrocellulose powders
only Whit or haze of blush thin
smoke left the gun at the moment of
discharge. 1t was not visible at a
short distance from the gun. Dust
blown from the ground in front of the
gun was more likely to reveal it's posi-
ton to the enemy than the smoke or
haze of the so-called smokeless pow
der. There was recently alleged to be
discovery of making field glass
which would show this blush powder
vapor as dense smoke, but a good
many "discoveries" that arrive at the
state of publication never arrive at the
state of fact, and this peculiar smoke
revealing glass may have been one of
these. Guns may be put in position
the guns and the guns invisible from
the enemys position, and no smoke
will reveal their location. The aero
plane and other means are relied on to
find where those guns are firing.
But smokeless powder was not fash
less powder. Fired at night a glare
showed the approximate position of
the gun. The glare from the three
inch field piece was visible for miles. and
the darker the night the brighter the
glare. The blast of light from the def
laded gun might give no information as
to range or distance, but 1t told the
story of direction. BY the invention of
a fashless powder the glare has been
so reduced that at a reasonable distance
from the guns their position will not
be betrayed.

One of their sapheads was successfully

The word sap" probably comes re-

The word, like majority Of military

When the making of cannon had not

breach stone walls, but when cannon
were powerful enough to keep armed
men at bay or to destroy them, it be-
came necessary to make an approach
to the walled position In a way which
was difficult to attack successfully and
for which at that time no way of
checkmating had been thought of by
the defenders. A narrow ditch was
dug in the direction of the wall to be
assailed. This ditch, which was wide
enough for one man to dig in, was
called a sap. the digger a sapper. and
the end of the ditch toward the enemy
was the saphead. AS the leading sap

When the saphead had reached the de-

the excavated earth forming parapet on

so close to the wall that they could not be
