DARABOO CITIZEN
FINDS RELATIVES
IN WAR REGION

The following from the Chicago Tri-
bune is an interesting incident of the
present war. The article appears with
the pictures of the children and reads
as follows:
An interesting story, sidelight on
The Tribune's recent movement to Sc
cure American homes for Belgian or
phaned children, has just reached here
from Paris. 1t concerns the efforts
made to locate a certain young girl
whose uncle sought to bring her to the
United States and provide for her in
his home at Baraboo, Wis
1t had been the custom of this uncle,
Mr.. A. Oh. Reisz of Baraboo, to Bwrite
his niece about once a month. After
Aug. l none of his letters brought any
response and so in December he enlisted
The Tribune's adm locating the where
abouts of his relative. The appended
letter of The Tribune's investigator
tells the story. He says:
Il had some difficulty in locating the
little girl, owing to misspelled names
and addresses, but | managed to find
the right people, and their address is:
Nine. Jeanne Gourc, Rue d'Alger,
Paris. | inclose card and photograph.
I'M. Gourc is working tailor and
Madame works in the little store room
with them. The idea of separating their
only little girl from them is beyond
question. Their love for her is far too
great and so long as they can keep a
home over their heads, little Jeanne
must remain with them. The son, a
fine young man of Is, goes to the front
in about three months, and is today
working in his fathers store, although
In uniform.
1.-THE love in this family is beyond
description. I offered help if they need
ed financial assistance, but they re-
fused. with profuse thanks. You can in
form Mr.. Reisz that the Gourc family
is not in need, although somewhat sad
owing to the war. -

YOU CAN'T KICK
MY DOG AROUN ;

"You can't kick my dog around, hut
he should be licensed" said Fred Klein
heinz, sheep herdsman at Madison be-
fore the assembly committee on judici-
airy while discussing the Caldwell bill
providing that all dogs must be licensed
and that the license money be held to
reimburse sheep owners who suffer
damage from dogs. Prof. Kleinheinz
has for ten years been trying to get a
law passed that would protect sheep
raisers of the state. There was no op-
position to the bill. The committee
favors the bill, but seems to think that
it's provisions are too strict. The bill
provides that the license fee for every
male dog shall be 81. for every addition
al male dog 81, and for every female
dog So year.

Strange to say some of those who

newspapers but had never encountered
these two we'll known names. He said
there were so many names anyway it
was difficult to keep track of them all.
Judge O'Neill gave them kindly and

Think this Over.

When a newspaper gives you
a lot of free advertising in order
to boom some concert or enter
tainment in which you are in
terested, keep track of the lines
that are printed week by week
and multiply that number by
the regular advertising rates of
the paper. Compare the results
with the actual money value of
any favor that you get from any
other business concern. Then
take into consideration the fact
that advertising and circulation
are the only two things that a
newspaper has to sell. Now in
these days of high prices, how
much do you think it ought to
give away.

The Science of Building.

Modern buildings are becoming
more W o n d erf III every year.
The latest wonder in New York
is a sealed skyscraper which,
when completed. will be 70 per
cent, glass, yet in the building
there will be no windows that
may be opened. The entire IL
stories will be tight as a drum,
the glass walls being set in steel
frame work. There will be plen-
ty of ventilation, however, an
abundance of fresh air the year
round supplied at an even tenn
perature by a new ventiIating
system.
In cold weather the fresh at
mosphere sucked in from with
out will be heated; when the
summer comes it will be cooled.
At all seasons of the year it will
be free from disease breeding
germs, being carefully purified.
The ventilating system is
unique in its thoroughness. Air
is sucked in through a special
duct on the second floor, because
air at this altitude has been
found to be less impure than at
greater heights. The air passes
through shower chambers,
where the impurities are washed
out of it after the manner of a
rain shower.
At each floor there are inlets
with ducts which guide the fresh
air into the interior under reg.
ulated pressure. where, as the
foul air is sucked out under the
ceiling through ducts connecting
with the main flue. This system
obviates the use of windows,
which only let in draught and
noise and dirt.
Independent of the air supply,
there will be hot water heating
system, ensuring in the coolest
days of winter constant, health
full temperture and no humidity.
The power plant will be all
that an engineer could possibly
wish for. This ''loft building
de luxe" will cost 81, 500, 900,
and it will be the only building
in New York built entirely of
steel and glass. On the roof
will be a sun parlor for the wom-
en- employees, where they may
take their noon rest, amid the
most cheerful and attractive sur.

cisions.
1t was the British troops in
India that first brought into use
the dum-dum bullets, In the
petty wars on the northwest
frontier of India, English SOL
diers were often exposed to night
attacks in camp by fanatic sword
men known as Ghazis, or fight
ing dervishes. and it was found
that the rush of men of this sort
at close quarters was not to be
stopped by the needle-like prick
of the modera rifle bullet, and
that it was absolutely necessary
to make the bullet more effec-
tive in these special circumstance
This was done by removing from
the nose of the bullet a small
portion of the nickel mantle that
covers it. The effect of this was
to make the lead spread out from
the diameter of a lead pencil to
that of the old-fashioned musket
ball, and had a sufficiently stop
ping effect. The British troops.
however, never used the bullets
anywhere except in the cireum-
stances related.
| The name dum-dum was de-
rived from the town of Dunn
Dunn, four and a half miles from
Calcutta, where the bullets were
first MANUFACTURED. Dnm-Dum,
which has been described as the
Woolwicb of'India, and was for
a long time the headquarters Of
the Bengal artillery, was. it is
interesting to note, the center OF
the first open manifestation
against creased cartridges in the
Sepoy mutiny in 1857.
1t is pointed out, however, by
F. C. Selous, the famous big
game hunter, whose knowledge
of rifles and shooting is probably
unequaled. that the new pointed
bullet, itself a German inven-
ton, and now for the sfrst time
employed in warfare in Western
Europe, inhicts at short ranges
more grievous wounds than any
form of soft-nosed expanding
ballet.
These pointed bullets, it seems,
are apt to turn sideways on strik-
ing a man or an animal at short
range, with the result that al
though the hole caused by the
entry Of the bullet is small,
round. and clean cut, the skin is
often torn open where they pass
out on the other side. Mr.. SelouS
relates how on several occasions
he has found one of these long,
solid pointed bullets, absolutely
unimpaired in shape, lying broad
side under the skin of an animal
through whose body it had torn
a large lacerated wound.
