The question whether a complete aliied

are authorities, who declare Roumanis's
entrance into the conflict will mean the
breakup OF Austria within a few months
and that without Austria the Germans
cannot hold out another year Others
believe-I have recently met some Of them
on the western front-that Germany VIII be
harder TO beat than ever when her dreams
in the East have crumbled and Austria
has been more or less dismembered and

Bombs and Window Panes.

The singular fact that window psnes
broken by the explosion of Zeppelin
bombs invariably fall outward is being
accounted for in London on the theory
that the explosion forces a wave of con-
densed air against the window, suddenly
COMPRISING the air in contact with the
inner surface so that it acts like a cush-
ion. The compressed air inside travels
across the room in the form of a wave
and is reflected back by the wall on the
opposite side. By the time the wave re,
turns TO the window, rarefed wave has
taken the place of the compressed air
outside; the compression within, COM
bined with the decrease of pressure with
out, forces the glass to fall outward.

The best skill that the country affords

intensity that went into the solving of
the malaria and yellow fever problems

present plague now sought. Meanwhile,
the country waits in eager expectancy

apparently seems ready to comply with
whatever orders are necessary for the

ssAt the same time," says the State
Board of Health, eve are reminded OF
the fact that there is in our midst
another plague over 20 times as great In
it's tragetic proportions, whose means OF
spread we know as well as it's treatment
and cure Yet it remains uncontrolled.
There were more deaths in North Caro-

than there were deaths in the whole
United States from infantile paralysis.
