Bravery Of Women.

The bravery of women in fight is no

"Historv of France from the Earliest
Times TO 1s4S," in telling of battle
fought by the Romans, under Marius,
near AK. on the borders of the Coenus,
against Ambrons and the Teutons,
wrote: 1.-THE battle lasted two days
the first against the Ambrons, the sec
ond against the Teutons. Both were
beaten in spite of their savage bravery
and the equal bravery Of their women

macy. the cars with which they had re-
manned almost alone in charge OF the

Handmade Chains.

In this day of machine manufacture,
II will perhaps surprise some to learn
that the making of big chains Is large
Iy. IL not entirely, confined to methods
dependent on hand labor. There are
probably no big chains being made In
the United States by the use OF ma
chinery. There are various appl-
ances employed. but these are hand OPP
Grated or personally controlled. Tsis
situation appears to be due to two
things: First, as the proYerblal ex-
preston has it, "a chain is no stronger
than the weakest of its links" A
handmade chain IS naturally maze
link By link. II the workmen are not
only careful, but conscientious as to de-
tails. there is considerable opportunity
for attention equivalent to continuous
inspection. The making Of big chains
Is largely an old-tlme blaeksiniths job.

Your HEALTH
and the WAR
By DR.. SAMUEL C. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health OF Pennsylvania

Since We are at war, let us have the
lesson of the tremendous bearing of
health problems on our armies in
camp and our citizens at home well
learned so that we may not have to
learn 1t by bitter and calamitOus ex-
perience. 1t would seem to be late
date to point out the almost self-evi-
dent fact that sickness will decrease
the national efficiency by just so
much, whether it be among soldiers
or noncombatants, but the general
public does not give enough attention
to this aspect of wars demands the
accent being placed on more speetac-
ular elements of preparedness-
Each individual must consider him
self a unit of our great population to
be kept able to meet whatever comes
along. If there was ever time when
the individual had the duty of taking
thought of how he could keep in good
health, it is now.
One of the first elements of the
health of nation at war-or at peace,
for that matters its food. 1t cannot
be healthy and strong without good
food, and plenty of 1t. Therefore ag-
riculture and gardening must be intel
ligently and intensively stimulated.
so that larger crops shall be brought
forth.
The housewives task will be to
economize the food supply and cook 1t
with skill, so as to make her meals
tasty and digestible.
The streams from which our domes-
tic water supply comes should be care
fully guarded against pollution, so
that communities shall not run the
risk of being infected with some
deadly disease.
Vaccination against typhoid is a
valuable step in preparedness under
conditions as they are at present.
The time has come to consider these
matters in spirit of patriotism. 1t
Is the duty Of every citizen to attain
physical fitness, and of the people as
whole. to take measures for the in
creased production Of food materials.
Wanton destruction Of food is an
injury to our country just as positive
ly as destruction of munitions or arms,
for In the last analysis nation that
Is well fed is the ration that will pre-
vail. These are matters already claim
ing the attention of the federal gov
eminent.
Hand TO hand with the mobilization
of factories and munitions must go
the mobilization OF agricultural prod
ucts, the planting of as many acres
of land as possible with grain and veg
etables, and the distribution Of the
crops in the most economical way.

DEBATE HEIGHT OF NAPOLEON
Writers Differ on This Point, But
Measurement of Five Feet Seven
Inches Is Generally Accepted.

In view of the evidence in existence
regarding the height of Napoleon, there
cannot, think, be much doubt that the
measurements given by Darling are
approximately correct, writes Arnold
Chaplin in the London Times. Inc
evidence is as follows: On the same
day that Darling measured the body
Antomarchi performed the post NOR
tenn examination, and In the very care
full report of that operation gave the
height of Napoleon. He says: La
ibauteur totale du SONNET de la tete
aux talons, etait de cinq pieds deux
.pouces ct quatre lignes.' (See Les
lDerniers Moments de Napoleon" vol
ume 2. page lit, edition 1881 This
measurement was, of course, expressed
In the old French scale, and when re-
duced to the English equivalent is
equal to about, though not quite, SIX
and one-half inches.
Again. on August %, 1917, Gouraud
relates In his journal that Napoleon
was measured against the door OF
Nine. Bertrand's villa. He says: Nous
nous mesurons tous sur la porte
l'Empereur a cinq pieds, deux pouees
francais." tSee Bourgaudis journal
volume 2, page 259.) This somewhat
rough measurement when reduced TO
the English scale is about, though not
quite, five feet six and one-fourh
inches. II has often been stated that
Napoleon was only five feet two inches
In height. but evidently the old French
measurement of five pieds two pouees
has been mistaken for the English one
Ii would appear, therefore, that An
drew Darling's measurement of five
feet seven inches was very neatly cor
rect.
