NelO Trench Digger

An article which appears in the latest
issue of the United States Field Artillery
Journal, the official bulletin of the United
States Field Artillery Association, indi-
Gates that the trench digging problem has
been solved and that Americans are now
manufacturing machines which in a few
minutes can do the work of scores of SOL
diers.
''Not long ago." says the Journal "in
a street in one of our Ohio cities a ditch
digger was moving along steadily up
grade, at the rate of something better
than yard a minute, cutting through a
heavy macadam road, the prepared sur
face and bed of which was in perfect
condition. 1t excavated a ditch 2 feet

earth was poured out of the machine to
one side of the ditch where it rose to a
height of some three feet above the nor
NAL surface.
This machine was preparing a con-
tinuous excavation for the purpose of
laying a pipe line and it was so efficient
that no gang. of workers, with the pipe al
ready stretched along teh route, could
and join it and execute the filing as fast
as the machine could travel. The result
was that the machine worked but few
hours a day. the pipe-laying detail work

Rifle Team Practicing.

The Rifle Team of the Lambert
vile Home Guards will begin prac-
tice this week on the new range
along the hills north of Alexauken
station. Two interested citizens
have donated $10O, or $50 apiece,
to provide ammunition and con-
struct the ranges.
Captain H. R. Wilbur says that
the donations received from various
sources have been used to good adj
vantage in connection with the local
organization, and if any other pa
triotic citizen feels like making a
donation it will be most carefully
and judiciously expended.

Minister Has Been Successful

Rev. j. Hastings Patterson, for
mer pastor of the New Hope Pres
byterian church, but now a student
at the Princeton Theological Semi
nary, and who has been visiting his
uncle, George Stevenson, in Lam
bertville, has been sinrularly sue
cessful in the conduct of revival
services at Barnegat, Forked River,
New Gretna and other shore towns,
where he has been since May 18th.
He brought more than ninety to
conversion, and 700 reconsecratons,
of whom practically all are adults.
In Forked River the Liquor men
fought him hard, but he considers
that he did his greatest work there,
not only in conversions but the gen.
eral spiritual uplift of the churches.
After a weeks rest here Mr.. Pat
terson goes to Wardensville and Le-
hen, West Virginia, for the third
successive season, to conduct revl-
val services. He has been success
full there, and his big campaign fea-
ture has been the gospel singing.
He expects to graduate from Prince
ton next Spring. Mr.. Patterson's
work locally, in the Rockwell cam
paign, was notable, and he has nu-
merous friends in this vicinity who
wish him success in his work.

How the AnCientS Bathed

Ancient Rome is said to have consumed
no less than $40, 900, 900 gallons of water a
day, and one of the most noticeable
features of the modern town is the prodigal
effervescence of its water, gushing from
fountains of every conceivable size and
design The Trevi is the most magnificent
in the city, its waters, called Aqua Virginie,
virgin water, because of its purity; the
finest. The old Roman baths required a
lot of water. The splendid Thermae,
built by the degenerate Emperor Caracalla,
had accommodations for 1000 bathers.
Besides the baths proper, the establishment
included within its area of about quarter
of mile square gymnasium. athletic
field, library and even race track. Its
ruins tower above the plain today like some
mountain blasted by nature.-E9.

Courage

Somehow or other we only begin to
| think of courage when we fear that our
courage is about to be tested. The majority
of us unfortunately fail to remember that
personal physical courage is not the only
courage that we are capable of exhibiting.
There is another brand of courage, as it
were, that we are able to develop to such a
degree of perfection that it will eventually
become a second nature to us. 1t is the
most necessary and important of the two
brands, Moral Courage.
Physical courage which is unfortunately
the most lauded of the two is utterly
| impossible without moral courage.
Physical courage, namely the placing of
ones body in jeopardy by an act of singular
| bravery, either for a noble or mediocre
cause, is looked upon with awe mingled
with admission by all of us and the powers
of the world are eager to stimulate such
| courage. Hence your Medals of Honor,
Victoria and Iron Crosses and the Legion
of Honor.
Thousands of these men were actually
afraid when they performed their deeds
of valor. In deadly fear of their lives but
through the influence of moral courage
which is SO powerful as to enable them to
conquer their physical weakness they are
equal to the demands made upon their
physical courage.
| Thus you can see that moral courage
which is the power to speak, think and act
courageously for the sake of doing right
and right alone, even at the risk of personal
determination has been the genuine power
that creates the So called hero and successful
man.
| Moral courage is the incentive to do
right for rights sake alone, not merely for
personal reward or thrugh fear of punish
ment. --Er,
