To The Women of Clarendon:-
We wish to broaden out in our work
this year, and so l want to enroll few
women in each community as home
demonstrators. We wish to teach these
some forms of demonstration work that
will tighten the labor in the homes,
and thus explode the old ditty that
''men work from sun to sun. but wom-
EMS work is never done" l want to
visit the homes of the demonstrators
and show them how to make and use a
fireless cooker, and other things which
I as demonstrator prove to them are
to be desired. AT the end of one year
will ask each one for a report Of what
she has done. l hope that all who are
willing to be enrolled as demonstrators
will write me as soon as possible.

COMPLAINTS BRING RESULTS.
Uncle Sam Will Route Neutral Mails
Around Great Britain.

Washington, June 24-Complaints
that censors tamper with neutral
mail passing through Great Britain
resulted to-day in he issuance Of an
order by the post Office department
directing that all mail from the
United States for Norway, sweden,
Denmark and The Netherlands be
dispatched on steamers sailing direct.
This is the remedy suggested by
the Swedish minister, who recently
filed with the State Department evil
dence that mail from the United
States had been censored in England.
AS the countries in which mails orig
mate control the routing the orde:
will affect only outgoing mail. 1t is
expected here, however, that similar
steps soon will be taken by at least
some of the European neutrals.
Under the new arrangement mails
to the neutral countries will not leave
as frequently, but there are several
regular direct steamship lines and no
serious delays are looked for.
A general inquiry into alleged tam
pering with mails, at home and
abroad, is being conducted by the
post Office department, charges hav-
ing been made that mail of embas-
sizes and legations OF belligerent
countries has been opened on United
States railway cars
Sweden, it is said, has protested
sharply 10 London against interfer-
ence with mails.

MEYER-GERHARD REPORTS.
Says Lusitania Incident Greatly
Changed American Sentiment.

| Berlin, June 26.--It is learned
that DR.. Anton Meyer-Gerhard's re-
port to the officials charged with
drafting the Germ2n answer TO the
American note indicated the serious
| nature Of the situation.
Dr.. Meyer-Gerhard was sent to
Berlin by the German ambassador at
Washington to indicate TO the Ger
man government the real attitude of
the American government and peo-
pie. He reported that the sentiment
in the United States had been grow
ing somewhat more favorable from
the German viewpoint, and particu-
larly more favorable regarding the
prohibition of the export of muni-
tions to the allies The sinking of
the Lusitania, however, undid all
this. The state Of feeling in the Uni
ted States at the present time, he
explained, was such that it would not
be satisfied with unnecessary delay
in the answer, nor with an answer
which appeared to be evasive or
failed to meet the issue squarely.
The Frye Matter Again.
Washington, June 2S.-By agree
ment with the German foreign office,
the State Department made public
tonight the text of the note sent on
! June "a b. the United States asking
Germany to reconsider her refusal to
settle by direct diplomatic negotia-
tions instead Of prize court proceed
ings, the claim presented on behalf
Of the captain and owners of the
| American ship William p. Frye, sunk
with her cargo Of wheat by the COM
| merce raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
Ambassador Gerard cabled that he
had delivered the note last Saturday
afternoon.
The American government de-
clares that inasmuch as Germany has
admitted liability for the sinking OF
the Frye under the treaty Of 1928
| prize court proceedings are unneces-
sary and not binding upon the Uni,
ted States.
Aside from the question of how
the indemnity should be paid, the
note brings out clearly the refusal OF
the United States to accept the con
| tention that Germany has a right tC
stop the carrying of contraband by
American ships "by the destruction
Of the contraband and the ship carry,
ing it.

Potash Located In Texas.

Austin, Texas, June 26.--Discov-
cry of potash beds in Texas, believed
to be workable, may aid materially in
solving the shortage Of this valuable
fertilizer material, caused by stop
page OF German imports.
The University Of Texas geology
bureau has been making an invest-
cation OF deposits in Potter and
Randall counties, and now thinks
they are Of sufficient size and in such
condition that potash can be extract
ed profitably.
Borings in these counties have
shown that there is more potash
present there than anywhere in the
country.
The deposits are much the same as
Germany's. They are found in brines
and in solids allied to common salt.
Some idea Of the value Of having q
domestic potash supply may be
gained from the fact that the United
States has been importing about $10,-
100000 worth Of potash annually
from Germany.

Elephants sleep standing up. When
in a herd a certain number will al
ways stand watch, while the others
sleep, for the big, powerful beasts
are timid and cautious at night and
will not go to sleep unguarded.
Bats sleep head downward, hang

Birds, with few exceptions, sleep
with their heads turned taiiward
over the back and the beak turned
beneath the wing.
Storks, gulls and other long-legged
birds sleep standing on one leg.
Ducks sleep on open water To
avoid drifting ashore, they keep pad
ding with one foot, thus making
them move in a circle.
Foxes and wolves sleep curIed up,
their noses and soles of their feet
close together, and blanketed by
their bushy tail.
Owls, in addition to their eyelids,
have screen that they draw side
ways across their eyes to shut out the
light, for they sleep in the daytime.

1G-Inch Shells Thrown by Monster
Gun Twenty Miles Distant.

Dunkirk, France, June 25-Thirty-
fired into Dunkirk yesterday from the
German positions somewhere behind
DiXmude. Several citizens were kill
ed or wounded, and considerable ma
terial damage was done, but not a
single shell reached the port or any
other point of military Importance.
The impression on the inhabitants
differed in no way from that made by
preceding bombardments, and the
first trains out Of the city to-day car
ried no more than the usual number
of travellers.
The first shell struck in the city at
the break Of dawn, and others fol-
| lowed at intervals OF 25 minutes un-
| til early in the evening. They came
without warning, for though Dunkirk
constantly hears the guns Of the al
| lies along the Belgian front, no
sound comes from the monster
weapon that hurls these 16-inch
shells from a spot more than 20
miles distant. The shrek Of the
shell giNc5 no warning OF the missile s
coming, as She noise ie heard only
! in the last goo yards of flight and al
most simultaneously comes an oNDIc-
sion that makes the earth remplc.
Scarcely had the smoke Of the first
| p1 ~ hon
reading refuge in case of alarm, -
| began to appear on the fronts of
| buildings having cellars safe from
the shell fire. Many people, hastily
clad, hurried to these shelters. Still
more ran in the direction of the eX-
| plosion, hoping to aid the victims.
Whenever one of these monster mis-
siles falls, however, the work of res
cuers is reduced TO a minimum as
the destruction the shell works in the
| immediate vicinity is nearly com
plete. The streets were strewn in
many places with broken plate glass,
crushed paving stones and other de-
bris before the work Of clearing away
began
In the intervals of this 15-hour
bombardment, melancholy calm pre-
vailed in the city. There was little
excitement and no panic.
When the fire was over, the streets
resumed their ordinary wartime as
poets, and among the throngs who
went about their affairs in neither
| haste nor confusion, street arabs
Swarmed about stricken spots hunt
ing fragments of shells to sell to
passersby. The electric current was
cut off in the city, but gas could be
burned as usual.
Persons who had sought the cellar
refugees came out before morning to
the sound of violent cannonadine
from the allies front that had con
tinued all night.
