Der of soldiers. Winifred was able TO
decide how many were left standing
without stopping to count.
There never were any quizzes, be
cause Winifred was taught to get re-
suits and was not taught rules. She
learned the values of money by the
actual use of coins and the values of
market products by going to market
herself. And so it went through the
whole subject, until at last the girl
became fascinated with the funny
doings of Mr., X and got interested in
algebra. Things she could make
with cardboard and scissors gave her
a start into the mysteries of geome-

tbs F1cWdFu.
Shrapnel was originally the name of
u British general who, about hun
bred years ago, was begging the board
Of ordnance OF his native land for some
substantial recognition in respect OF
the new and deadly missile he had
placed absolutely at their service and
was being told that the institution in
question had no funds at its disposal
for the reward OF merit"
Henry Shrapnel's invention was
probably first employed at surinam in
1904 and was then "fayorahly report
ed on" but eleven years later Sir
George Wood. who commanded the ar
tillery at Waterloo, declared that
shrapnel had won that famous battle.
Without 1t. Wood asserted 10 effort OF
the British could have recovered the
farmhouse OF La Haye Sainte.
In 1914 the government granted
Shrapnel a pension OF fl,2O0 year
for life, but this was interpreted by
his paymasters to cover all the inven-
tons Shrapnel had given to the army,
including an ingenious gun mounting
whereby the Iecoil was utilized to
bring one gun into action ut the same
time as another was put under cover,
Shrapnel was thus placed alta dlsad-
vantage, though he had the satisfac-
ton OF drawing his pension to "A ripe
