GETS PACKAGE FROM
FRENCH TRENCHES
Mrs. Laura D. Brewer, Employed at
Brattleboro Retreat, Has Two Sons
in Canadian Service.

Mrs. Laura D. Brewer, a widow
employed as night watch at the Brat
1tleboro Retreat, has just received from
her two sons who are engaged in the
European war a package from the
trenches in France, which she values
very highly from a sentimental stand
point, although its intrinsic value is
small. 1t is a tin box about eight
inches long and three inches square at
the ends, filed with articles taken
largely from the French trenches. The
| box came entirely covered with adhes-
i've tape, which was wound around SC
! that if the box became damaged the
! contents would not be lost.

and Albert B., went out with the frs

second Canadian general hospital il
| France and Albert is with the 15tl
| battalion, 4Sth Canadian Highlanders
in the trenches. After her sons en-
| listed Mrs. Brewer came to Brattlebor,
to take a position at the Retreat.
The box contained cap ornaments, al
Identification tag, buttons of differen
designs designating the regiments t,
which the wearers belonged, some o
the buttons being encrusted with mus
from the battlefield, collar devices AM
various other insignia, mostly in brass
a number of postcard views from feel

Petromortis' is the name given to
the rare form of death OF which Mr..
McLoud was a victim. 1t is just be
ginning to come to the attention of
the medical fraternity, but several
cases lately have attracted attention
The case which has attracted most
attention is that of Eugene NJ.
humphrey, a lawyer, OF Chicago, who
died Friday under circumstances al
most exactly paralleling the death of
Mr.. McLoud. In the Chicago case a
post mortem examination conducted
by the medical examiner, DIR. Springer,
showed: g Marked liyidity of a pink
ish color al internal organs congested:
head full of fluid blood and brain con
gested. -
DIR. John D. Ellis, head of the de-
partment of occupationaI diseases at
Rush Medical college, said that the
gas fumes were not carbon monoxide
as might be the casual assumption
but lethal fumes caused by splitting
products OF benzine so new to science
that they have not been named. Death
he said, was caused by absorption OF
some of this gaseous poison.
"'This gas,' he said, ''is as deadly
as knife thrust through the heart
It is due to the non-oxidization OF
some of the elements of gasolene ant
escapes from the exhaust of every
running auto. In the open air, where
a motorist would inhale a Whit or two
it would not be dangerous; in a CLOSED
garage it would kill almost instantly

SIMPLE ENGLISH NOT NEEDED
Cub Reporter Got Something Of a jolt
In His Interview With Educated
Chinaman.

Two San Francisco reporters were
assigned to call on Cinnamon and In
terview them on an immigration meas
ure pending in congress. One OF the
reporters was a cub and an fastener,
while the other, an experienced man,
assumed the management of the as
signment.
Gates" he said, after they had In
vaded several Chinese shops without
any important result, ''yonder Is a
tea-store. Beat it over by there and
talk to the boss about Chinese voting.
I'll go in next door, Remember to
use the very simplest English you
got"
The cub went inside the tea-shop
and thus addressed the proprietor:
John, how? Me-me-Telegrap
John! Newspape - savvy, John
Newspape-print things. Un'stan'?
We want know what John think about
! Chinaman-vote-all same Mclean
man. What John think-Chinaman-
vote, see? Savvy, John? Vote? Wha,
think?
The Chinaman listened to all this
with profound gravity and then re
piled:
THE question of granting the right
of suffrage to Chinese citizens who
have come to the United States with
the avowed intention of making this
country their permanent home is one
that has occupied the attention o.
thoughtful men of all parties for years
and it may in time become Of para
mount importance. At present, how
ever, it seems to me that there is NJ
exigency requiring an expression o
opinion from me upon this subject
You will please excuse me-"

against a lamp-post to rest and re
cover from a sudden faintness. Hi

him against one of the best educated

How Many Shots VIII Be Fired?

The number of rounds that will be
fired during an ordinary battle can
only be imagined. We have data from
the Russo-Japanese war showing that
at Ljaopan one battery fired $500
rounds in one day. while another fired
1904 rounds, making for each gun
about Alb rounds in one day. This
was not an uncommon occurrence, and
it shows the expense involved in car
rying on a modern war.
The most common projectile of the
three-inch caliber is the shrapnel
which is in itself a gun, arranged BY
time fuses so that at the desired
height it will be made to burst, shoot
ing forward out of a shell $50 leaC
balls, each effective to kill a man.
