HOW WE DID
DURING THE WAR
BY MRS. G. GRIFFING WILCOX

For the crust of our pies we used
the busted meal and butter, thorough
ly Incorporated; and this crust did
not fail to please the most fastidi-
Gus. In our section we we're indeed
fortunate in having quantities of
milk and butter, poultry and eggs,
during the four years Of hostilities.
To find substitutes for the costly
toys that the younger children we're
to receive at Christmas, puzzled us
considerably: we went bravely to
work, however, and did the best we
could with what material we had.
We surreptitiously baked cakes
of every description, cutting many
out in the form of animals, birds,
flowers, hearts, stars, and diamonds,
and indeed every shape that fertile
Imagination could devise. We then
popped corn, and made immense
snow balls by sticking it together
with molasses candy. We ransack-
ed the scrap-bags for pieces of white
and colored canton flannel, and out
these scraps we cut different kinds
of animals and birds. stuffed them
with cotton, used various colored
beads for eyes, and really succeeded
in making them look quite life like.
Pains we're taken to impress upon
the minds of the children that, as it
was WAR TINES, Santa Claus was
very poor and could bring them but
little. They readily accepted this
plea, and really enjoyed their home

it, better than we had dared to hope

Why We Hear Better When It Is CLOUDY

Q ONE curious facts about the effects Of the wind
y temperature, moisture and composition OF the
atmosphere on the way sound waves travel
through the air and ears have been brought
to light by some investigations which DIR. H. Bateman
famous meteoroogist, has been making.
The general influence OF any wind IL appears is to re-
duce the audiby of sounds The usual greater range
OF sound with the wind than against IL is ascribed TO
the Increase OF wind velocity with altitude which bends
upward the sound waves travelling against the
downward those going with the wind.
On the other hand IL upper wind is opposite to
the lower one. sound refracted upward travelling
against the surface wind may be bent the earth
The temperature effect sound is much like that of
the wind In the daytime the vertical decrease
In temperature leads refracton sound waves up
ward and the lack OF thermal homogeneity the air
aids in dispensing sounds. At night or in cloudy
weather. when the temperature is uniform sounds

Asst. Deputy Backland returned to duty
last Tuesday morning after fortnights
vacation. By all appearances our genial
officer had very pleasant and enjoyable
holiday.
Tuesday saw the addition of two new
men on the Mirror force. The gentlemen
are not new arrivals to our city, but to the
printorium, where they intend to master the
use OF sticks, galley, stone, quoin and all
the rest of the paraphernalia that one must
be acquainted with before he can hope to be
recognized as a real member of the cart
preventative clan.
IL. F. one of our live contributors and
prominet member of the Mirror staff of
composers was one of the lucky "boys" to
be granted his trial by the Board at their
.recent meeting. We are all pleased to see
him get his chance to make good on the out
side, and yet we shall miss him sadly. Not
alone because he is a most efficient and
willing comp. but as well for his ever cheer
full and sunny disposition amid these dreary
scenes, both at work and in the park. Jay
Ell F. joined our staff less than six
months ago, yet today he is one of the
speediest men we have, and this is due to the
undivided attention he has given to the tasks
in hand and certain natural aptitude for
this class of work. He says; "only game
OF two more then, maybe we'll gof"
Work in general has been delayed in the
printorium this week, owing to breakdown
of the big press. However with the skilled
and studious machines supplied or rather
loaned us by the machinery dept, every
thing is all to the good again, otherwise the
Mirror would not have been.
The job boys are busy getting out farm
machinery catalog ready for distribution to
the users and dealers of this line. The job
is of considerable size, and is being put up
in a really high class manner. When
finished with its cover in four tone effect
it is going to be CLASSY piece of work and
will reflect no small amount of credit on
this department.
There has always been good attendance
of interested visitors from the outside
world to witness our games on Saturday.
One reason for this is that the fans" are
sure of seeing game contested from start
to finish, and between evenly matched teams.
AS we said before, while there has always
been good attendance, last Saturday was
a record-breaker in this line, that must
have been hundred or so on the benches
and bleachers reserved for the "free' fans.
Among others at last Saturdays game
was Mr.. c. E. Vaslay, chairman of the
Board of Parole and member of the Board
of Control, being the guest of honor on the
player bench and, was one of the Warden
most appreciatve guests.

3: BOB BIZ ES ::
By Il Fan.

The appointment of Henry O. Day as an
umpire in the National league is one that
will cause general satisfaction. Pres. Tener
has made a happy selection after some
months of hesitation. Mr.. O'Day has been
out of employment since the opening of the
season, and many observers have wondered
why he wasn't given place ere this. As
an indicator handler, "Hank" O'Day has
no superior, and in his long service in that
capacity was always rated as the best. In
1912 he resigned his position to become
manager of the Cincinnati Reds, who made
an astonishing spring squirt under his guild
ance, only to fall back before the onward
rush of the New York" Giants But he
landed the club in a much better position
than it has since attained, under such we'll
known leaders as Joe Tinker and Chas.
Herzog. However he wasn't requested to
remain another year as manager, and so 1918
found him at his old job of umpiring. He
again resigned in the early part of 1914, thi:
time to become manager of the Chicago
"Cubs." Well he didn't win the pennani
and that seems to be what they expect Of
Henry when he takes hold of team. Sc
last fall he was gently eased out of his job in
spite of his contract in the usual up-to-dats
manner of Organized Ball. Perhaps the de.

occasion. His temperance will be thorr
