Hlnh Explosive Shells.

One of the surprises of the war has
beor the great relative demand for
high explosive shells as compared
with the demand for shrapnel. The
consumption OF both has exceeded all
estimates, but 1t is shell that the new
conditions have most strikingly af-
fected. There was a time when 1t was
considered more noisy than dangerous
and in field operations more useful to
shake the enemys nerve than to in
fiict damage; while as to the deadli-
ness of shrapnel against an enemy that
it could reach there has never been
question But in the elaborate
trenches employed in this war the men
are fairly we'll sheltered from shrap'
mel, and for the special purpose of pre-
pairing the way for an attack high ex-
plosive shell in prodigious quantities
is required. That the British are still
short is indicated by the complaint OF
the Times correspondent that the ad-
vance attempted near Fremelles was
weakened by forced economy in the
use of ammunition. The French seem
to be better off and If the Germans
have felt any scarcity on either front
they have succeeded in keeping 1t a
secret, which is the next best thing
to having plenty.

The North pole natives alluded to
by Captain Amundsen in recent lee
ture we're discovered by him while he
was navigating his little craft, the
Gioa, through the Northwest Passage
in 1903-1907. He christened them
Nechilli, and considered them to be
the most primitive race on earth. No
white man had ever before invaded
their icy Businesses. Consequently they
were ignorant of the use Of iron. Their
fishing implements were long spears,
fashioned out of reindeer horn. They
knew no other method of procuring
fire than that of rubbing two pieces OF
wood together. They were, in short,
still in the stage of civilization reached
by our ancestors of the stone age So
cut off were they from others of their
kind that they imagined their tribe
was the only one in the world, and dis
played the utmost astonishment when
told of populous countries far to the
south, where neither ice nor snow was

WOMEN IN ARSENALs

AND FEW ACCIDENTS.
Government Declared to Have Gained
Hundredfold Since Their EN-
ployment - Quickly Become
Expert, Always Careful.

Much of the important work az the
United States government arsenal az
Frankfort, Pa, is in the hands OF
women who are as skilled at making
deadly weapons as are their sisters as
nurses in army hospitals or on the
fields Of battle. They are regardeu
as more Trustworthy, proficient ana
conscientious than men, and are IN
such demand In many departments
that they are worked in two shirts
Even In the fuse room, where the most
dangerous work is undertaken, wom'
en- are employed and accidents are
few and far between, due In a large
measure, It is declared, to the greater
care taken by the female employees
Most Of the work in the hands OF
the women is regarded as skilled Ia
Dor, and It is strange to see such cap
tions as Mary Mathews, skilled labor

overworked. but the government has
gained a hundredfold since the wom'
en- have entered the arsenal as work
ers.
Each cartridge inspector in the ar
senal inspects 31,500 cartridges n day,
an average that has been maintained
for several years. This work is very
important, for the slightest defect, one
not even to be detected by the expert
enced eye. might mean a premature
explosion and the loss Of an eye hmd
or life to a soldier.
II is interesting TO watch the girls
most of them quite young, handling the
big machines, some automatic and
some handled, in the rooms where
the cartridges are tapered and clipped
In this work eight girls are employed
and each one handles $4,000 cartridges
a day.
The girls employed on the gaugel
are especially expert, and have beer
in the arsenal a number of years One
girl gauges the cartridges and two In
spect them. The gauger is also an ez
pert inspector, and when the supply
gets too large for the girls to handle
she assists them.
The cartridge passes from the gaug
er to a weighing machine, and If thu
powder shot ia the slightest degree
underweight the machine throws i
cut. Every cartridge is weighed
second time 1t is interesting to not'
that not an underweight cartridge hat
reached the Philadelphia section o
the arsenal in five months.

plaved at the mainmast truck was
declared the official emblem OF the
secretary of the navy. Having thus
taken the union out of the ensign,
apparently in spirit of sentimental
economy, 1t was further ordered that
the remaining stripes or field of Ola
Glory should do duty as symbol OF
flag rank.
Accordingly, the admiral's flag be-
came a rectilinear affair of thirteen
horizontal stripes, alternate red and
white to be worn at the main. me
vice-admiral was to carry the same
flag flown at the fore, while the rear
admiral was to have this badge car
ried at the mizzen. Farragut was bit
terly opposed to the change and, IN
fact. never consented to it.
When David Dixon Porter upon the
death of Farragut became admiral OF
the navy he inherited the striped nag
which his predecessor had repudiated,
and for six years it was displayed
unon various occasions, but the
symbol was not permanently estaD-
1shed because in 1876 there was a
change. For various reasons, among
them mast usage and service and for
the convenience Of distinguishing the
order of seniority of officers OF the
same grade, the secretary of the navy
restored the blue emblem of flag rank.
Porter died early in 1891, and for a
trifie more than eight years the Amerl-
can navy was without an officer OF the
ranlr oP full admiral. 1t was revived
IN March of 1899 as a reward Tor
Ceorge Dewey's services in the memo
rable battle of Manila Bay, and as nla
old master in the art of war, Farra-
ont loved the blue flag with its four
stars so this token of pre-eminent
rork in the naval service was chosen
by Dewey.
Agreeably to the last naval ap'
nropriation bill, Secretary Daniels

Dewey the right to fly the admlral

The foundation walls may reach up
to the main house floor, or they may
stop at or little above the lot grade
line. 1t may be cheaper to build
superstructure of wood from the
ground level up. This is done by
placing the sill on the foundation wall,
then either build superstructure of
2 by 6 uprights to support the house
sill, or the joists are made long enough
to reach from the foundation wall to
the plates. With this construction
Pinch strip is gained into the studding
to support the outer ends of the floor
ioists. The floor ioists also are spiked
into the studding, so that the building
is all tied together at the house floor.
A very pleasing effect is secured by
building the porch partially into the
house proper and extending it few
feet out beyond the house in the man
ner shown in the perspective.
Because the veranda floor is built
6 or Z feet above grade the front steps
are necessarily longer, and they are
built wide to reduce the long effect.
For fhe same reason the ramparts are
built at the sides of the steps in two
divisions, as shown in the perspective
The main floor is high enough from
the ground to satisfy certain timid peo-
ple who object to living or sleeping
! close down to the ground. Low-doWn
bedroom windows seem so easy OF ac
cess from the outside. This probably
is one reason why houses Of this de
sign are so popular in certain sec
tions of the country. A large number
Of people have horror of night prowl
ers, very often unnecessarily SO. Al
the same time, they have their likes
and disIikes, all of which affect th'
selection Of certain house designs.
All the living rooms and bedrooms
are high enough from the ground t.
be safe from ground moisture, which i
another consideration when building

The plan shows three living room
on one side Of the house and two bed
rooms and a bathroom on the othe
side. The living rooms usually ar
laid out for the sunny side, and tn
bedrooms on the north or east. It ]
easy to reverse a floor plan to brin
the rooms on the right side OF th
house.

annoyance as it was in 1912.
We all know of the glorious WORK
of David Porter during the war of 1917
in the Essex. He created fleet out
of his squadron of prizes and his SUD
ordinates gladly called him commo-
dore and recognized his well earned
right to a broad pennant. Yet, to use
the language of the time, Mr. Thomp-
son, the secretary Of the navy, issued
an order which "unshipped his stars
and degraded his title" when Porter
came ashore. There was nothing last
ing in the brevet of commodore, and
the flag became a memory rather than
lasting emblem of gallant service
that had justified it when afioat and
aface with the perils of war.
There was a lack of harmony in the
practice of carrying these symbols of
flag rank, and this led Isaac Toucey,
when secretary Of the navy, to pre-
scribe in 1858: 1T is hereby ordered
that in lieu of the broad pennant now
worn by flag officers in command OF
suuadrons they shall wear a plain blue
flag of dimensions proportionate to the
different classes of vessels prescribed
for the jack. . Flag officers whose
date of commission as captain is over
twenty years shall wear it at the fore;
all others at the mizzen."
The incorrectness Of hoisting a rear
admirals flag at the main instead OF
at the mizzen, where the long estab-
nshed usage of other naval powers
had placed it. soon became apparent
and at the instance of Richard H.
Dana. then in congress, the position
of the flag was made agreeable to
general custom without regard to the
rear admirals seniority. AS result
! Farragut lowered his flag from the
main and raised it at the mizzen'
where a rear admirals flag should ny
Outwardly this seemed like reduc'
ton in his dignity.
In 1865 a distinctive flag apart from
its position on the ship was ordered
for him and then for the first time
anpeared the four white stars in the
center forming a diamond. At the
same time the vice-admiral acquired
three stars, the rear admiral two and
the commodores broad pennant was
entitled to one, the erstwhile centra
big star of days gone by when thai
grade displayed a whole constellation
Admiral Farragut first hoisted his
four starred flag on the frigate Frank
lin in June of 1867, and at the same
time salute of seventeen guns was
fired.
All went well in this somewha

DANGER IN CLOSE ALLIANCES
Investigation Has Shown That Cancer
is Most Probable When Cousins
ire Welded.

Speaking of the possible hereditary
tendency to cancer, DR.. Charles Is.
Davenport of the eugenics laboratory
at Cold Spring Harbor, N. T., says
of the fact that the incidence of cancer
is highest in Maine: 81 have no doubt
that this is due to the presence OF one
or more races in Maine which are nom
immune to cancer
Doctor Davenport's studies indicate
that resistance to cancer is positive
(dominanD trait and that nonresist-
ance appears in children only when
both parents belong to a nonresistant
race. And this result is eommonest'
other things being equal, where cousin
marriages are commonest, because
that makes it probable that If one
parent belongs to a cancer race the
other-the cousin-will belong to the
same cancer race. Now, in rural
Maine cousin marriages are extremely
frequent, especially in the Islands on
the coast, and here we have the con
ditions for the result-the high incl
dence of numbers of the cancer race
in an inbred community.
