ORIGIN ~ofasPhra,e,

The phrase First IN war, first in
peace" ETC., referring to George Wash
,ington, originated with Henry Lee Of
Virginia. In q resolution introduced in
the house Of representatives he had
recommended that a committee be ap-
pointed to consider the most suitable
manner Of paying; honor to the mem
DRY Of the a First in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts Of his
fellow citizens" Tbs phrase was again
used in a speech in praise of General
Washington made by MI. Lee in 1899,
but this time the word "countrymen''
was substituted for "felloa ~citizens."-

TWELVE INCH SHELLS.
These Big ProisctiIes Carry a Thirty
Pound Explosive Charge.

. ssSOV Su0 SS
Pound Explosive Charge.
High power projectiles are construct
Cd with cavities in their centers which
contain the explosive charge, the ex-
plosive carried varying with the sizc
Of the projectile. A twelve inch shell,
weighing $40 pounds, carries about
thirty pounds Of explosive. The cavity
Of such a p~rojectile is about seven
inches in diameter at the base, aud
gradually tapers in size toward the
point. After the charge is placed in
the projectile a plug is screwed into
the base, thus sealing up the explosive,
and a fuse is inserted in the center
Of the plug extending into the exple
ave within the cavity.
The fuse, without which the. explo.
stve is harmless, depends upon the
high rotary motion Of the shell to be.
come active. This rotary motion IL
impaired by the riding Of the gun. In
the smooth surface Of the tube are cut
the rihing grooves Of a width Of about
ene-eighth inch.
Round the shell, near its base, IL
. groove cut for the purpose, is com.
pressed what is known as the rotat.
ing band. This band projects above
the surface Of the shell and CORE
spends with the nding grooves, st
that upon its discharge it is forced
into the ri6ing, where 1t acts as
seal to prevent the escape Of the gai
formed by the exploding powder and
gives the shell the required rotary
motion, which keeps it OF Its true
curse with its point always In a di
vect line ahead.-London Tit-Bits.

Safeguarding
MEAT SUPPLY
Approximately 60 Per Cent Of AMI
mails Now Slaughtered Under Fed
eral Inspection.

Washington, D. c., Nov.10.--More
than $4,000 900 meat animals were
slaughtered in establishments under
Federal inspection during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915. Since APP
proximately from so to 60 per cent
Of the animals killed in the country
are slaughtered in establishments
where Federal inspection is maintain
ed, it appears that about 1OO,0OO,O0O
meat animals are now being killed
each year in the United States.
Of the animals subjected to FEEDER
al inspection 299,958 were condemned
as unfit for human use, and 644,6sS
were condemned in part. Thus a lit
tie than l 1-2 per cent of all
the animals inspected were condemned
either in part or whole. These fig
ures include only cattle, calves, sheep,
goats, and swine.
tuberculosis was the chief cause Of
condemnations. More than 1854
carcasses of cattle and $4,000 carcass
ses of swine were entirely rejected on
account of this disease, and in addi-
ton parts of $4,000 cattle and 100000
swine. Hog cholera was responsible
for the next largest loss, nearly 1922
900 swine being condemned entirely
on this account.
The annual appropriation for the
Federal Meat Inspection Service is
now about $,375,O0O, so that the cost
to the people would be between S and
6 cents per animal if the service was
confined entirely to the inspection of
the animals and In addi-
ton, however, great quantities of the
meat and products are reinspected. In
this item there was a very considera-
BILE increase during the last fiscal
year, the reinspection resulting in the
condemnation of a total of nearly 49,
100000 pounds of products of n kind
or anther. Furthermore, PAS, 1000, 600
pounds of imported meat or meat pro-
ducts were inspected and more Titan
2,O0O.O 900 pounds condemned or refused
lentry.
In the course Of it's work, the Blu
reauL Of Animal Industry, which is in
charge of the meat inspection service.
has discovered a new method of de-
stroying trichinae in pork, which is an
additional safeguard to human health
Refrigeration at a temperature Of
degrees, or lower, for a period of 70
days will destroy these parasites
which occasionally give rise in human
beings to the serious disease known
as trichinosis. Hitherto the only
known safeguard against this desease
has been the thorough cooking of al
pork and pork products, and those per
sons who neglect this precaution have
always been more or less exposed tt
the danger. Unless pork is known tt
have been subjected to refrigeration
as above indicated it should be thor
oughly cooked. The microscopic ex
animation for the the detection o.
trichnae has. been abandoned as the
usual methods have proved inefficient
In this connection it is interesting
to note that more swine were slaugh
tered in the past year in the estab
lishments under Federal inspection
than ever before. A total of 36,247,
958 were inspected at the time O.
slaughter and approximately $3.50
900 passed for food.

Champions banquet, Thursday even

to toasts. Although the lineup of
knives, forks, salad forks, spoons, ETC.,
was a formidable one. none of the
squad fumbled.
Billy Shuts and Ringe were the only
ones who called the more chicken sig

Half of them would he stolen.
