SCORE UP ONE FOR JONES

Time Methods Of Travel.

Down in the crimson clover zone
there were two farmers named Jones
and Smith,, respectively. Jones was
old-fashioned and stuck to old-fash-
ioned ways, but Smith, who was more
modern, bought a fine new automo-
bile. One day he was proudly exhib-
iting to some friends when Jones
came along
"Um," remarked Jones, as he
thoughtfully sized up the handsome
machine. What's that thing there
on the side?"
That's a spare rim and a tire" an
swered the proud Smith. "We al
ways carry an extra one in case one
of the wheels goes wrong"
"Jes' as allus said" was the dis
dainful response of Jones. I've druv

Thought Umbrellas UnmiIitary.

Umbrellas and khaki seem most
unlikely combination; yet one in
stance is recorded of British soldiers
taking their umbrellas into action, ac-
cording to the London Chronicle. On
December 10, 1913, during the battle Of
the Nive, the Grenadier guards cap
tured a redoubt outside Bayonne.
While they were in possession Of this
Wellington passed by and noticed that
the officers had umbrellas up to pro-
tect themselves from the heavy rain.
He sent back his aide-de-camp.
Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them that
1.-The duke does not approve of the use
of umbrellas in action. The guards
officers may, If they pleace, carry um.
brellas even in uniform when on duty
at st. James; but in the field it is not

Aneients Used Gas Warfare.

The earliest use of deleterious gases
in siege warfare is recorded in the
history of the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 404 B. C. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task of the attacking
forces less difficult.
