A Michigan man explains to cleo
trio light users what a kilowatt is and
how to compute one:
First multiply the current by the
conscience of the proprietor of the
electric light plant; divide this by the
meter on the wall and add whatever
you can't multiply. The answer VIII
come in dollars and cents. Just di-
vide these by the price you pay per
kilowatt, and multiply again to find
out what a kilowatt is. You know
just how many kilowatts you have
had, just what they cost you apiece,
but you don't know what they are,
what they look like, who made them,
or what shape they are.

bodies were dumped into a hole out

Then the wagon and the overworked

THE misery and the suffering in
Valvievo are indescribable. When Dr..

the town was filled with thousands of
wounded from the last great battle
with the Austrians, centering near
there.
There we're no hospitals. The
wounded had been piled on racks in a
big warehouses, $50 to a row. They
were without bedding and when we
arrived there was only one Serbian
doctor in charge of them all. We were
given 400 men to attend. Later a
Holland Red Cross unit arrived.
In the midst Of these terrible con-
ditions, the typhus epidemic reached
its height. There were neither hos
pitfalls nor doctors for the civil popu-
lation. The disease spread like Wild
fire, the poor victims dying unattend-
ed in their homes.
"Then came a food famine that
lasted nearly a month. The suffering
from the fever was increased by hun
ger. The mortality from typhus
reached rs per cent The disease was
especially deadly when it attacked
the Austrian prisoners. OF the 1,40C
quartered at Valvievo only 300 are
still alive. But the Serbian govern

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

1S41---Nick Ward won on foul from
Ben Caunt, in 9Th round at Andover
Station. Eng. Nick Ward was a
brother of the famous Jem Ward,
the ex-champion of England, and he
had all the ability of his older broth
err but was. yellow to the core.'' His
lack of courage was evident from the
first and by running away from Caunt
he gained the disp1easure of the
crowd. Caunt, savage fighter, be-
came so irrftateds by NicIx's tactics
that he lost all control of himself. In
the fourth round, when Nick was in
close quarters, he dropped to his
knees. but the Infatuated Caunta bang.
ed away at him. AS Ward was
down, according to the rules, the ref
cree gave him the decision on foul.
Nick thus became champion of Eng
land, but he was SO unpopular that
he was soon forced to give Caunt an
other match. NicI's cowardice on
that occasion was so evident that even
his brother Jem joined in hooting
him when he finally went down, with.
out a blow being struck, and refused
to get up.
