To Strengthen Prohibition Law.

Fred o. Blue, State Commissioner OF
Prohibition in West Virginia, will make
an effort TO have the prohibition law in
this State made so stringent that it will
actually prohibit The following three
amendments will be submitted to the Leg
islature next January:
First-Making it unlawful for common
carrier or its agents to deliver intoxicating
liquor except pure grain alcohol and
wine for limited purposes now specified
in the law to any person in the State for
any purpose, personal use or otherwise.
Second-Making il unlawful to give IL
quors for any beverage purpose.
Third-Making it unlawful to use, have,
keep or store intoxicating liquors for per-
sonal use or otherwise at or in any hotel,
restaurant, billiard or pool parlor, shoot
ing gallery, place OF amusement, soft
drink establishment, store, club or other
place.
Mr.. Blue says these amendments will
stop up the loopholes in the Yost law
and make it impossible for any person in
West Virginia TO obtain intoxicantS except
by going out of the State and bringing ii
in himself.

Mason-Dixon Line Is ISL Years Old.

In 1903, Isl years ago Sunday, two
English surveyors, Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon, began the surveying OF
what came to be known as the Mason
and Dixon line between the States OF
Pennsylvania and Maryland. This line
afterward became famous as the supposed
boundary between the North and South,
or between the tree and the slave-hold-
ing States.
The line was surveyed al the instance
OF William Penn and Lord Baltimore.
The surveyors were three years making
the survey from the northeast corner OF
Savage Mountain. In l767 the work was
finished from the latter point to Virginia,
now West Virginia. The line is said TO
have cost $500. 900 and the surveyors EN-
pIoyed an army OF 100 axemen and a
road 30 feet wide was cut through the
dense forest.
A mixture of sand and lime stones OF
light -grayish color was brought
over from England TO mark the line and
these stones were set up at intervals OF a
mile wherever il was possible 10 erect
them. They weighed 500 pounds each
and were l-2 feet high. On some parts
of the line the country was so rugged thai
mounds OF dirt and rocks had to be sub
stituted for these stones.
Today the Mason and Dixon line has
been re-surveyed aud remarked and di-
vested OF its chief erroneous traditions.
In lS49 a revision OF the line was made
by Joint commission from Pennsylva-
mia, Maryland and Delaware, and il was
then found that the change involved by
the correction amounted 10 less than two
acres, which was added TO Maryland. In
1903 Pennsylvania and Maryland each
appropriated 5000 for The restoration OF
the line.
Many OF the peculiar English stones
had disappeared, and the commission
made an exhaustive search for them.
The identification was an easy task,
for on breaking them the stones emitted
a sulphurous odor. SO thorough was the
search that some were found in the curb
ing OF streets and in peoples cellars.
One was taken from the wall OF an old
stone church, where il had done service
for many years. In the places OF those
that could not be found new stones OF
marble were set up.
On every fifth stone the coat OF arms OF
William Penn was cut on the Pennsylva-
MIA side and on the Maryland side the
escutcheon OF Lord Baltimore was plac-
ed. On the others the monogram p. and
NJ. was cut. The stones are now set so
near one another, even in the mountain
regions, that the traveller may stand at a
stone and see the next one.

The WAY To Boston.

Earlier in the day he had been sixteen
miles from Boston. He was now only
eleven miles away. The condition OF his
pockets was such that there was no way
for him 10 reach the city without further
wear on his shoes. Several automobiles
had rushed past him toward the city, but,
although he had looked at them appeal
ingly, the drivers had made no sign
that that they were willing 10 help the
footsore pedestrian.
He grew little bitter as he put one foot
up and the other foot down on the dusty
road. Finally, he was hailed by the driv-
er OF a car that bore a Pennsylvania Ii
cenSe number.
"Hey, there, do you know the way to
Boston ?"

II Is The Infantry That Wins Battles.

While there have been many discus
sions as 10 the relative value OF the Dill
ferent branches of an army, there is no
doubt. says the Scientific American, out
that il is the infantry that wins battles.
While il is probable the success OF a bat
lie will depends to large extent on the
support of the field artillery. Il is certain
that the principal and most important arm
is the infantry, which in virtually every
case must decide the final issue. lhe
cavalry may be the first to be drawn inlo
a battle, and the artillery may destroy the
enemy's artillery. but battle is never
won until the infantry has driven back
the enemy's lines. The usual mode OF
advancing for the infantry is to deploy
them in line with long interval be-
tween each soldier. This. naturally. is
for the purpose OF offering smaller tar
get for the enemy. II makes il more dii-
ficult, however, for the leaders to keep
as good control over the men, and Tor
that reason one OF the objects OF field
artillery is to make the enemy's troops
deploy early. The infantry soldier IS
armed in all the countries with rifle and
bayonet. The rifle is the weapon upon
which reliance is placed, the bayouet
being used only as last means. when in
a hand-to-hand encounter with the
enemy.

Deadly ShrapneI.

Shrapnel, so called after their inventor,
the British General Shrapnel, are thin
cases of tough steel containing large
number of bullets-in the British artillery
263 and in the French and German 300
with small bursting charge at the base
of the projectile.
The bursting charge breaks the thin
steel case, when the bullets sweep for
ward with the velocity impaired to the
projectile by the gun. Shrapnel are re-
garded as good "man killers" but they
are quite ineffective against buildings,
where shells are deadly. For the attack
of field guns and buildings and for action
against troops in trenches most armies
employ howitzers, which are short, squat
guns that toss their proiectileS high in the
air, high angle fire.
In the British army every division has
fifty-four field guns and eighteen howitz-
ers. These howitzers are are OF 4.5 inch
calioer, firing shell As inches in diam
ster and weighing thirty-five pounds.
They have range OF 1900 yards, which
is 1000 yards greater than the British
field gun.
The defect of the howitzer is that its
shell is very heavy, and consequently
much fewer rounds can be carried than
can be carried with the field gun. There
is no security that single howitzer shell
will do twice The damage OF an ordinary
field gun shell, though it weighs twice as
much.
The French do not employ howitzer
in their field artillery. The Germans use
a heavy pattern OF six-inch calloer, firing
a shell OF about ninety pounds, and a
lighter pattern of 2-inch caioer.

BorderIand.

There is mystic borderland that lies
Just past the limit of our work-day world.
And it is peopled with the friends we met
And loved year, month. week. day,
And parted from with aching hearts, yet knew
That through the dis tance we must lose the hold
OF hand with hand. and only clasp the thread OF
memory.
But still SO close we feel this land,
So sure we are that these same hearts are true.
That when in waking dreams there comes a call
That sets the thread OF memory aglow,
We know that Just by stretching out the hand
In written word OF love, or book. or flower,
The waiting hand will clasp our own once more,
Across the silence, in the same old way.

London.-The steamer Clearwater

Scarborough, Eng.-A vigorous
search is being made in Scarborough
today for spies. Reports of myster-

night before the bombardment by the
German warships have reached the
authorities.
1t is believed the German cruisers
may have been aided in directing
their fire on the town by spies who
signaled the position Of the railroad
station and other buildings on which
the shell fire was centered.
The damage done here is estimat-
ed at 100000. Most of the dead and
wounded are believed to have been
accounted for. Authorities are now
directing their attention toward
clearing away the wreckage of build

All streets have been cleared of
