London.-This story of modern war.

who has been on the front In Cham
pagne:
ION May 20 the French prepared to
rush the impregnable positions on
Mount Cornillet and Mount Teton.
Photographs taken by their aviators
showed an immense system Of tunnels
which apparently concealed German
reserves. A single entrance was To-
Gated, and the operator Of French
fifteen inch gun ten miles away was
told to put shell In the entrance.
'The gun started firing thousand
pound shells. and the infantry was or.
dered to advance at a certain minute.
Two hours before the time set for the
advance half ton shell planted itself
squarely in the mouth Of the tunnel,
killing half Of the men inside, blockad.
ing the exit and wrecking the trans.
verse corridors. The French advanced
and took several hundred prisoners
without suffering loss.

Portland, Ore -Jackass, mule, don

sold In Portland meat markets. The
city council has adopted an ordinance

inspectors Of the city.
AS adopted the ordinance says Dob
bin and Billy and Maud before being
sold to the housewife must undergo
thorough inspection and be labeled
"horse," mule" goat" or "jackass, f."
as the case may be.
The first horse meat market has been
opened, and the first shipment of twen-
ty-two wild range mustangs, rounded
up by Indians in eastern Oregon, has
been received, with more to follow If
the demand Is sufficient The butcher
says he is able to cut meat prices in
two, and his quotations for horse flesh
range from 4 cents pound for soup

Washington.-That long trousers can
add seven years to life in the time 1t
takes to put them on stands written
on the army records here under the
date May 2.
1t was then that Frederick Miller Of
Baltimore broke the bonds of child
hood, and he broke them with q
vengeance. Up to that day there was
no doubt In the minds Of the neighbors
that, in spite Of his FIVE feet six inches
and his 100 pounds, the boy was not a
day over fourteen. Ills mother dress
ed him in waists and knickers and
even In public called him Freddie.
But there was more to be blamed on
the knickers than the accusation of
youth. They left visible the lower por-
ton Of Frederick's body, and as a con-
siderable portion Of 100 pounds was
not above his waist, Frederick yearned
with all his soul for real pair of long
trousers In which to hide his legs.
On May 2 Frederick came home from
school to find his mother out. A negro
chore man was scrubbing the windows
"a real man, wearing mans clothes.
When Mrs. Miller returned she found
nobody In the house. and Freddie was
not seen for week. She did not know
Of course that the negro had gone out
dressed in a waist and knickers.
Finally came letter from Freddie
saying that be was happy and was
wearing army pants and leggings. The
postmark was New Rochelle, so Mrs.
Miller got busy. Soon Police Leuten.
ant Frank Cody was at Fort Slocum
and Freddie was found-called Fred
erick-and the recruiting officers swore
that II Frederick wasn't twenty-one
they had never seen a man Of that
age. Freddie had announced he was
twenty-one when he enlisted.
Lieutenant Colonel Maudlin, com.
mandant at Fort Slocum, says Fred
erick should stay and help win the
war But Freddie was told he must
return home. and his mother said that
If she couldn't call him twenty-one
she could at least call him seventeen
and give him a new pair Of long trou.

for the standardization Of disinfect-

state to standardize disinfectants, a
step regarded by physicians as of great
Importance at this time because of the
war and the food of worthless disin-

the medical profession have long in
sisted on such law.
The measure was introduced and
pushed to passage by DIR. A. E. Austin,

sentatives from Greenwich. 1t provides
that the receptacle in which disinfect-
ants are sold shall bear label stating
the quality of the contents on the ap-
