Since the present offensive was

"The fierce attacks Of Cur troops
are throwing into our hands tnous'
ands upon thousands Of prisoners and
booty of all kinds, the exact estina'
ton of which is as yet impossible.
For instance, in a single sector on
the enemy front we captured q
searchlights, two conveys, 29 field
kitchens. At trains Of machine guns,
10000 poods of barbedwire, "a pood
is equivalent to Sc pounds) 1000 con-

"city Healthier Than Farm"

THE sanitary conditions in the
farmers homes of Massachusetts, and
New York state are not what they
should be-" DR.. Harvey W. Wiley de-
clared in an address before several
hundred farmers from all over the
state in Horticultural hail. assembled
for the Massachusetts, state board Of
agriculturals annual meeting.
"In New York and Massachusetts
particularly, the city is healthier
place to live than the country" Doctor
Wiley said. "The cities Of New York
and Massachusetts are taking better
care of their citizens than the coun-
try is, and 1 am inclined to believe
that the unfavorable situation in the
rural sections is due more to lack OF
sanitary conveniences and appliances
than it is to the effect Of the climate
or of a deficient diet"

Weidinu Platinum.

A new process has been recently de-
rised in England for the welding Of
platinum contacts on springs, thus ef-
fecting a saving in the amount Of plati-
mum used. Essentially, the main fea-
ture Of the process is the placing OF .
thin coating of copperplate on the
platinum, which not only facilitates
the task, but also reduces the welding
current necessary. An automatic weld
ing machine IS used in the process. It
takes a strip Of platinum sheet or a
coil Of platinum wire, depending on
whether fat or pointed contact Is de-
sired, and deposits piece Of platinum
of the proper size on the spring and
holds it in position during the welding
operation. The welded contact is fat
tened or pointed by die as 1t leaves

JUST WANTED TO THaW OUT
CAPTAIN Of American Vessel Acted "a
Host to Half Dozen Undersea
Germans In Distress.

So cold did the crew Of a German
submarine become while sailing be-
meath ice foes in the Baltic sea that
they rose to the surface, halted the
American steamer Moreni, bound from
Copenhagen to Philadelphia, and asked
permission to spend the afternoon
aboard n order to thaw out. Captain
Wheeler, master Of the Moreni, told
Of the incident just before his vessel
left Philadelphia.
About the middle Of December,
when the steamer was battling against
furious gales in the Baltic, the chief
officer noticed that they were being
signaled by submarine. The U-boat
came alongside and eight men came
aboard the Moreni. Captain Wheeler
supposed they wanted to examine the
ships papers, but they told him all
they desired was q few hours release
from leir frigid quarters on the un.
dersea vessel.
Although heavily clad In fur gar
ments, the Germans we're blue from
the cold. They said their craft had
been under the Ice nearly two days,
unable to rise because Of the drifting
foes, and that 1t had become almost
impossible to live in the submarine.
The plates that formed the sides Of
the boat, they said, were only half an
inch thick and the heating apparatus
was inadequate.
The steward Of the Moreni glad.
dened the visitors with coffee and 9th.
er hot drinks. They remained aboard
until nearly dark. Then, after being
assured by Captain Wheeler that none
but Americans were on the Moreni,
they went back into the submarine
and soon disappeared under the ice.

Not a Nation Of Singers.

In this country, though we have pro
Nced many fine voices, We have never
Secoue nation Of singers. There are,
Z is true, in most Of the leading cities,
choral societies, but the singing Of
large groups OF people is comparative
" uncommon among US. Here is a
satter for regret, for among all large
bodies OF singers where there has been
more or less training the effect is beau
aful and inspiring. In fact, there arc
few things in music more impressive
than the singing Of hundreds OF
voices.

Riqht to Condemn City Waterworks'
Thos. H. Peoples, attorney general,
in an opinion just filed held that act
No. 220 gives the city Of Greenvllle
authority to condemn waterworks
with the pertinent reservoirs and pipe
lines situate without the city limits for
municipal purposes" The opinion
was given upon request Of Wilton H.
Earle, senator from Greenville county.
The opinion in full follows:
"As requested in your letter Of the
29th of May have examined act No.
22o to amend section 5015, volume 1,
code of 1912, approved March 6, 1916,
and am of the opinion that it gives
the city of Greenville authority to con-
denim waterworks with the pertinent
reservoirs and pipe lines situate with
out the city limits for municipal pur-
poses.
"In this connection I will call your
attention to the cases of Murphy VS..
Kelley, rs N. Y. 4SS, and Meaussler VS..
st. Louis, 2O5 Mo. 556, 103 S. W. 1884.
There is no doubt that such exer-
else of the rightof eminent domain
would be for a public purpose, and, in
my opinion, this amendment to Sec
ton 3015 of the civil code is broad
enough to authorize the exercise Of
the right of eminent domain by the
municipal authorities.

peenles Defines Weekly Pay Day Law.

Peoples Defines Weekly Pay Day Law.
It was not contemplated, in the
opinion Of Thomas H. Peoples, attor-
ney general, that the weekly pay day
for corporations should be movable
feast; furthermore the payment OF
wages is for money earned during the
preceding calendar week and not for
the seven days Immediately preceding
the pay day. =.
This opinion was rendered in April
to Commissioner Watson and was
duplicated to the Pacolet Manufacture
ing Company. The letter in part fol-
lows:
at can not have been intended that
the corporations shall pay wages on
every seven days that the wages may
be earned, as the act requires regu-
lar pay day once in every week, and
not a movable pay day, according to
the time the employees may have actu-
ally worked.
81 am, therefore, of the opinion
that the proper construction OF the
act requires the corporations to fix a
certain day in every week upon
which day they will pay the wages
earned during the preceding calendar
week. While it would be more con-
venient to the corporations to have
only four pay days during period OF
30 or 81 days, this would MT, in my
opinion, meet the requirements Of the
statute"

Anti-1ippina Act to be Enforced.

HNIt. lOHlHE fkSS ~ SC IihS' SSS'
Inspectors of the state department
Of agriculture will be instructed to
strictly enforce the anti-tipping act
which was passed by the 1915 session
Of the general assembly. No pro-
vision was made for the enforcement
Of the law.
Recently members Of the T. P. A.
made complaint to A. E. Hill, solicl-
tor, as to violations Of the law. Solici.
tor Hill took the matter up with Com
missioner Watson and also asked for
an opinion from the attorney general
as to the right Of the inspectors to
enforce the anti-hpping law. Acting
upon the opinion Of the attorney gen
eral, Commissioner Watson stated
that the law will be enforced.
The following is the opinion OF the
attorney general, which was given
upon request of Solicitor Hill: i
have received copy of your letter OF
May 80 to the Hon. E. j. Watson, com
missioner of agriculture, commerce
and industries, with reference to the
enforcement of the anti-tipplng law
passed by the general assembly IN
1915, and, in reference thereto, beg
to say that the duties and authority
imposed upon the above named com
missioner are broad enough to justify
him in requiring the inspectors EN-
ployed by him to report and prosecute
violations of the above law.
"While this duty is not specifically
imposed upon the department OF agrl
culture, commerce and industries, all
law officers are charged with seeing
to the enforcement Of the laws and
it would not be beyond the power OF
the commissioner to require the IN
spectors to look after this matter"
