''The United States is the con-
science of the world" said famous
German college professor, now the
German army censor at Munich. "The
world has gone mad, but your land
alone is cool and sane and we must
look to you, at the finish of the war,
to tell us what sanity is.''
i At the English front, after day
in the trenches, sat beside crate
fire in a little hotel few miles out
of shell fire; I didn't want to go to
bed, for fear of seeing again, in my
sleep, some of the sights I had wit
messed during the day. Perhaps the
British officers who were sitting
around felt the same.
Abe Lincoln Worlds Greatest.
Suddenly one of them spoke.
zone of the greatest men this
world ever saw" he said, "was Alb
raham Lincoln. We've read every
word could find about him, and my
two little daughters and two little
sons know everything about Abra-
ham Lincoln that do" -,
Eyes," spoke up another British
officer. do you know, I've heard
Lincoln mentioned ever so many
times lately. Something in this
war, it seems, appears to have turn
ed attention to Lincoln. though ]
can't tell why. I've just read book
about him and I know ever so many
people in London who've done the
same. The newspapers keep quot
ing him all the time, too."
Lincoln Was Underdog.
Its because he was always the
underdog," said the first officer. HE
was brave and patient and kind and
honest. You know my children love
that story about him and the six
penny pieces he had in an old sock.
"What was that?" asked third
officer.
"Well, one time Lincoln kept a
grocer's shop in a little village and
the village postoffice was in corner
of his shop. He had charge of it.
One day he failed in business; he'd
tried to make go of it for months,
but down he went. All the citizens
of the village knew he was ruined and
some of the men, who were his good
friends, feared that he had probably
used the postoffice money in trying
to save his shop. So they collected
about forty pounds among themselves
you know everybody who knew
Lincoln loved him-and took it to
him. Here's forty pounds, Abe,
they said. we figured that you had
lost the postofice money, too, in the
smash, and as soon as the sheriff
comes around and finds it out you'll
be in trouble. "'Just wait min
ute, boys said Lincoln. I'll. run
upstairs and get the postoffice bank
and see how I stand
Children Have Old Story.
"Pretty soon he came downstairs,
carrying an old sock, full of coins,
six pences and threepences and pen
MES and they were the very coins
he had been taking in at the post
office window during all the hard
months.
'Lincoln counted it all out and
then he said, Thanks awfully, boys,
but I don't believe I need cent of
your money
"That's the story about Lincoln
that my children love the BEST" con-
cluded the Britisher.
|, In London, some weeks later, at
several book stores discovered there
had been growing demand since the
war began, for books on Lincoln.

The above is the first of three
rather unusual articles by William
G. Shepherd, correspondent for the

Ordinarily reporters opinions are
not considered news. In view of
Shepherds unusual experiences in
the past year, the interesting contrast
possible to him, and the intensified
Americanism with which he sees sit

turn, you probably will look upon
this series as an exception. He calls
the series "DISCOVERING AMER

PROTEST AGAINST NAMING OF
NICK HUNT

Mayor Thompson today received
from the Hyde Park Protective assn
a 3,5OO-word protest against the ap-
pointment of Nick Hunt to the Office
of chief of detectives.
In urging against the appointment
of Hunt the protest gives instances
in which it alleged Hunt, while in
spector of the Hyde Park police dis
trict, did not enforce the law against
gamblers, blind pigs and disorderly
houses. Arthur Burrage Farwell,
secretary of the association, terms
Hunts terms as inspector in Hyde
Park as "25 years of contest"

SUIT AGAINST GAS COMPANY
CONTINUED-MAY~ COMPROMISE
Chuckles and chortlesN of glee en-
anated from the Office rooms that
shelter the gas trust crowd.
No wonder they were gleefuL The
city administration had just contin-
ued suit that has had them scared
half out of their wits.
The public utilities commission
met in its offices today ready to pro-
coed in it's hearing of the suit. of
Mayor Thompson against the Peo-
pies Gas Light and Coke Co., asking
enforcement of the ordinance fixing
the gas rate at 70 cents. The COM
mission had raked up some dope of
it's own on the matter and the quiet
word that was being passed was that
a grand expose was about due in
which the gas company would suffer
severely.
There was a sensation when VIM.
A. Bycher, attorney for Mayor
Thompson, arose and asked that the
hearing be continued on the grounds
that a compromise o fer had been
made to city council and this was
granted till Jan. II.
This is exactly what the Peoples
Gas was playing for, it is said, when
it made council the compromise offer
that gas experts have already declar-
ed will do the city little good.
The Peoples Gas is MORALLY afraid
that the city ordinance reducing its
rate to 70 cents will be made effec-
tive if it goes before a fair tribunal
for decision. 1t played for a delay,
and today it earned its play.

DO not try TO teach this trick Ia
a dog under eight months old. as
HIS back is too weak TO bear tho
strain.
Place the dog In the corner OF
the room so he will have the sup.
port OF the walls on all sides. and
each time arrange his hind legs in
bracing position. The only way
he can get down Ia TO fall forward.
Keep him from falling forward
by tapping him under the chin, az
shown in Hector's pose. and at the
same time command him 20 sit

Tho dog will not enjoy being tap
ped under the chin and will quickly
make an effort TO hold himself up
in the corner. Lessons for this
trick must be brief as the dog will
tire quickly. After he sits up in the
corner try him against the side wall
where he will have support only at
HIS back. He will seldom topple
over sideways. and your tapping I'M

BUILT FORTUNE ON THUMB
German Surgeon the Fortunate Pos
SCISSOR Of Digit That Had Remark
able Peculiarities.

Not long ago a famous physician
in Saxony, Doctor Metzger, celebrated
his SEVENTEEN birthday. He had been
retired from active practice for some
years, owing TO the fact that he had
become immensely wealthy through
the use of the wonderful thumb of his
right hand. This thumb stands out at
a right angle from his hand and, it is
said, cannot be bent back automatic
ally. He soon found it of great serV-
ice in massage, and when he became a
specialist in intestinal disorders he
was called as assistant to the greatest
surgeons of Europe, bringing relief to
many illustrious patients.
The queen of Roumania sent for this
doctor with the curious thumb when
she suffered from facial neuralgia.
while the late king of Sweden once
drove beautiful span of horses over
the border Of his kingdom to consult
the doctor and on returning left the
horses as a token of gratitude to his
preserver
There was a time, early in his Ca
reer, when the use Of this curious
thumb was looked upon as form of
charlatanism, but SO we'll did Doctor
Metzger establish his reputation tNat
the medical profession accepted his
thumb for what it was worth, without
trying to explain the phenomenon.

Speed of Bullets.

The speed of bullets is measured in
several different ways and with the
most exquisite accuracy, even to the
millionth of a second. A cylinder hav-
ing a circumference Of 1000 MILL
meters revolves ten times in a Sec
ond. Each space Of one n1illimeter
will represent one ten-thousandth Of
a second. Each millimeter space is
divided into one-hundredths, which
can be read with Vernier scale. A
tube 100 meters long is flied with an
explosive and at every ten meters of
its length is fixed an insulated con-
ductor governing an electromagnetic
that sets in motion pen or stylus
tracing lines upon the cylinder, the
surface Of which has been coated with
lamp black. When the charge is ex-
ploded, the breaking Of the success
sive circuits fixes exactly the time
that elapses between the breaking at
every ten-meter interval, and this
gives us the speed OF the explosion.
