A|RSH|PS AND
SUBMARINES,
WASPS OF WAR
Both Are Getting Their First
Real Test in This Con-
flict in Europe.
MAY FIGHT ONE ANOTHER
Each Invention Now 10 Prepared to
Pull the Others Sting, But Their
Actual Value Is Yet to
Be Demonstrated.

Every modern war has been fought
with new weapons, and for the last
century there have been countless In
ventions for the carrying on Of war
fare in particularly destructive man.
ner, with the philanthropic intent that
war was fast becoming SO horrible and
terrible that it must soon pass away
from the face Of the earth, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But 1t happened that as soon as a
particularly horrible continuance was
invented and introduced into armies
and navies inventors Immediately
busted themselves by offsetting and
discounting its probable effect. Con-
seQuently war not only has not passed
away. but we still have it with US.
Thus 1t Is that each big war, after be-
ing heralded as the worlds last con-
fiagration, Ia found upon examination
to be false, and the end of war is not
yet arrived.
Trying Out Inventions.
In the present war in Europe there
are being tried under the conditions of
actual hostilities many improvements
and inventions that previously have
been tried only under laboratory con-
ditions. Their real worth will only be
discovered at the close Of the conflict
No army or navy engaged In the
present conflict in Europe but what is
possessed of nearly all of the modern
improvements made since 1870. The

submarine, which was dream in 1865,
is owned by the navy of the smallest
power. It is true that single subma-
rines are not expected to accomplish
much In real struggle, so the larger
navies Of the great powers have fleets
Of submarines. The aeroplane and the
dirigible balloon are to be found in the
possession Of all armies In Europe to-
day, yet they, too, are only expected to
be of real service when they are pos
sessed in large numbers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps Of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have q
powerful sting. they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeroplane and Wireless
In the recent smaller wars, aero
plans have been used to limited ex-
tent, and this use has been SO much
limited that their real efficiency Is ex-
pected to be finally determined by the
present war.
1t Is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While 1t was used in
the Russo-Japanese war Of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made In
wireless. It is now possible and, in
deed, ia custom every day, to send
and receive messages from a distance
of more than 5000 miles. This, then,
Is a new and important factor In naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tons on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was In existence In
1904, but 1t was very different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today. Yet its
real value is yet to be determined, and
1t Is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict
Rapid Increase Of Submarines
At the time Of the Spanish American
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world
The latest edition of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines in the various navies,
and shows what interest is being
taken in the wasp of the sea. Great
Britain has rs built and is building 20
more; Germany, who only began build
ing few years ago, already has a.,

Wraps for Evening,

Old shawls make capital evening
cloaks edged with lace and lined with
a color. Persian and oriental shawls
are best adapted to the purpose. Mex
lean shawls can be turned to the best
account in the toilet, but old scarfs
are invaluable for negligees' mixed
with tulle and flowers, and they drape
evening dresses to great perfection.
Scarfs will make panel backs to skirts,
held together with any material that
best assimilatee with them.

two views. 1t is made of velvet and
lace. Ribbon and flowers are used in
decorating this highly picturesque ex-
ample of headwear from earlier of
Paris. A bonnet of this kind is made
over light wire frame. 1t is not an
easy matter to accomplish it unless
one understands something of the art
Of the professional milliner. In fact,
to make so unusual a piece of head
wear requires much exercise of skill.
The example shown in the model is
fascinating and full of distinction. 1t
will prove valuable asset to the
smart woman who has occasion to vary
her millinery.

We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part Of the

We cabled them to buy up the pick Of the rub

600 pounds Of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to Va
And it means practically all Of the e1tra-grads

MAKE HEALTH FIRST ORDER
Prevention OF Disease Always Better
Than Cure, and as a General
Thing, Much Easier.

Think health.
Keep your thoughts on a level OF
lealth which means harmony. This
does not mean that you are to disre-
gard signals of physical distress if
they appear. If your head aches, as
certain the cause, whether 1t is nerve
or liver stomach or the cause too in
frequently understood-ey eyestrain.
Then correct the trouble. Head
ache is not a disease, but a symptom,
and for that reason it is folly to take
so-called headache powders Try first
circulation by exercise. You cannot
think clearly if your liver is out of
working order and your circulation is
sluggish.
The law of health is the law of pre-
vention Keep well, and obviously,
there will be no need for cures. A
few simple rules conscientiously ad'
hered to should be sufficient to keep a
healthy mind in a healthy body, and
the first of these rules is "modera
tion." Practice it at all times. If the
mind is overburdened with mental
food. brain fag, and it's long list OF
diseases, may follow; if the body is
overworked, nervous prostration or
some one of a thousand maladies may
ensue
In this climate and this age of rush
and worry there are few who do not
need occasional aid to keep the body
in condition SO that the mental facul.
ties may be assured of free play. A
glass of water with a few drops OF
lemon juice in it before breakfast,
with salt-spoon of salt added, is an
excellent suggestion; laxative when
the liver is out of order is another.
Aside from these, with fresh air and
a reasonable amount of directed exer.
else any person ought to be able
to keep on the plane of good physical
and mental balance which spells
health.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

What Farmers Talk of

A rude shock is given TO the tradl-
tional view of the occupation o farmers
when they meet at country stores for
evenings OF leisure. The usual view Is
that they settle questions o! statecraft,
and at such times as the present disclose
how enlightened strategy could lead one
or the other TO victory. Competent au
thority investigating the subject finds this
theory of the trend Of the agriculture,
mind entirely unfounded.
The editor of the Farm Journal, after
making an automobile trip of 5000 miles
through the country, finds that the agr
cultural mind had something more vital
TO talk about than causelesss and saw
age war. One farmer in ten brought up
the subject Of war. and even the country
storekeepers manifested little interest in
ultimatums or turning movements. Agri-
cultural discussion found our bountiful
crops more interesting subject of con
versatlon. War, or no war, the Amer
ican farmer knows that the world musl
eat and he has the food 10 give it,
This is interesting and pleasant. Stock
exchanges may suspend and bond houses
NAV give their employees vacation. But
the farmers crops are abundant and the
most solid asset. sooner or later This is
the overshadowing fact to him, and he
knows more about them than the muir
derous struggles over The sea.--Pitts-

OK Fibre's Business Biggest in
History.

On top of the good news that Freder-
ick's banking Institutions had made large
gains in deposits during the past several
months. in spite of adverse conditions, in
other parts of the country resulting prin-
cipallv from the reflex action of the gi-
gantic European conflict word comes
that the Ok Fibre Brush Works, this
city, is passing through the busiest time
in its history. This news is especially
gratifying to the people of Frederick and
adds weight to the stability of this sec
ton in time of depression elsewhee.
Owing to the rush of orders at the local
plant it is necessary to work the en-
ployes extra time and the factory will be
run for three nights each week until fur
ther notice. Not only is this true, but
the factory is up to the limit of its capac-
ity on the number of employees. Every
machine is in operation" said Manager
Crawford when speaking of the matter.

crease in business, Manager Crawford

To Locate City Scales.

Suitable property has at last been pur
chased for the location of the citys cat
lie and hay scales. Aldermen Grove,

Saints streets for the sum of 5000. This
location is considered one of the finest
and most convenient in the city for the
location and the scales will be installed
in such position as to enable teams
after having been weighed TO pass either
down Ren!z or All Saints stree, and am
pie room had for four-horse wagons TO
make a turn.

Frederick Acts For Whole State.

The Frederick Board of Trade will be
Instrumental in having the i-ter and in.
tra-express rates revised for the whole
of the State of MARYLAND Secretary
Llovd T. MacGill filed brief with The
Public Service Commission against the
Wells Fargo, Adams and American Ex-
press companies OF Frederick. charging
inequalityin the inter and intra.express
rates to this CITY 1t w~s at the last
meeting of the Frederick Board of Trade
that Secretary MacGill was instructed to
file this complaint with the Public Serv-
ice Commission.
But this is not the first time that the
local association has brought the inequal-
ity of express rates before the attention
ofthe commission. 1t was on June rs of
this year that Secretary MacGill had a
conference with the members of the
commission and Chairman Philip d.
Laird, chairman at that time, asked
that the Frederick association hold off
for short time, when the commission
would take up the question of adjust
ment OF rates for the entire State.
Secretary MacGIll was satisfied with
this development and held off, believing
that the matter would ultimately be ad.
ius'ed for the entire State and Freder-
ick'S grievance would be taken care of.
Nothing, however, was done The COM
mission, as far as is known, has not TAX
en- the question up nor done anything to
equaliZe the express rates. The Public
Service Commission of other States have
taken the inequality question up and
have adjusted ii.
The whole cause for the complaint OF
the merchants of the city is that it costs
less to send a package from Frederick to
Baltimore via Washington, than direct to
Baltimore. The same is true OF other
points.
