Father of franks"

Patriotic Scotsmen might plausibly
claim that the real inventor of tanks"
was John Napier of Merchiston, who
also invented logarithms. He had
many varied intellectual activities be-
sides the higher mathematics, and was
a jealous protagonist of Protestant
ism. For confounding all "enemies of
Gods truth" he confided to Bacon's
elder brother certain "secret inven-
tions." These included chariot Of
metal, double musket-proof, the mo-
ton Of which was controlled by those
within, "who discharged shot through
small holes, the enemy being abased,
and uncertain what defense to make
against moving mouth of metal"
This looks like the original "tank," but
Napier directed the detailed designs
for his weird instruments of war to
be kept secret until necessity COM
PEELED their use.

CITY Managing a Profession.

When the commissioners in charge
of Niagara Falls, n. Y, were looking
about for manager for the city they
heard of young fellow at Cadillac,
Mich. named Carr. Cadillac was pay
ing Carr $500 as city manager and 1t
figured that it had made good in
vestment, for he had saved the city
$1,000 out of q budget of $4,000.
Carr looked over the ground at Mag
ara Falls and said he would take the
Job at $4,000. But he a""eed to save
the city S25,000 by put: the city on q
business basis. 1t lool $ as if he would
make good.
That's what the city manager plan
makes possible. 1t builds up corps
of trained men who know how cities
ought to run. Then it permits city
to bid for the services of man who is
conspicuously successful in the bust
ness.-Kansas City Star.

.M HELPS
LAWS FOR FIRE PREVENTION
New York City Seeks to Have Them
Enforced Against Owners Of Prop
erty Who Are Negligent.

The fire commissioner Of New York
city has, with the consent Of the city's
law department, brought suit against
the owners of several buildings who
idisregarded an order to install hre-
checking appliances for the expenses
,entailed by the municipality in extln-
gushing fires in those buildings,
which occurred subsequent to the
service on the owners of notice to
comply with the requirements OF the
commissioner in the matter Of provid-
ing safeguards against the spread OF
fire. The orders in question were is
sued on March 6, 1916, and because Of
failure to comply with them were sent
to the bureau of penalties in the cor
poration counsel's Office on June 2 for
the enforcement of the legal penalty.
One Of the buildings was converted
into q storage warehouse few months
ago, and at the beginning of the sum-
mer, when the families in the neigh
.borhood began to move away, was
filled with furniture and household be-
longings. It is stated that the house
hold belongings Of about 700 families
were stored in the warehouse.
An itemized statement showing the
complete cost to the fire department
in the services Of the fremen, ap-
paratus, expenditure Of coal, water,
etc., and damage to apparatus was pre-
pared. and the suit was brought for
this amount. AS 1t was four-alarm
fire very large number Of fire COM
panies participated. The firemen
worked from 1920 p. m. until $50
q. m. The cost of extinguishing this
fire is estimated at S1,500.

POLES AND WIRES HURT CITY
Los Angeles Newspaper Complains OF
Conditions Which Work Harm IN
Many Other Municipalities.

The residents of Los Angeles are to
be congratulated if the city shall
quickly acquire the privately owned
lighting systems and avoid the multi
ple pole-and-wire systems now borne
by the northeast districts. In the lat
ter, in Garvanza and Highland Park
districts particularly, more landscape
beauty has been blotted out in few
months than the residents have been
able to create in several years. Poles
and wires are everywhere, trees de-
spoiled, private property rights Vio-
lated, in stringing wires without per-
mission. and all the evils usually at
tendant upon service by employees
protected in their vandalism by civil
service. It is most sincerely hoped
that acquisition Of existing lines by
the city will result in the removal OF
at least two-thirds of the present jun
gle, for the district is now deSpolled.

Riqht Type of Patriotism.

Every American who does not think
his land the fairest that ever the sun
shone on, his own state the finest in
the Union, and his town the best place
in which to live has not reached the
same celestial plane of JOY and pa
triotism as the foreigner, who thinks
his little wind-swept bog is the happi-
est spot in the happiest land the good
God ever made. This is the love OF
country that glorifies land and the
people that inhabit it, This is what
makes every hill and valley. every
rock and riIl, the most beautiful in the
world, because it is ours, made sacred
and beautiful by the memories woven
around it.-Exchange.

LEARNING TO KNOW FLOWERS
information That Would Be of I'M
mense Value to the Man Who Is
Planning Home.

The home-maker, with facilities at
hand, could choose wisely what to
plant in his own home grounds. Lee
lures, instructive and helpful though
they are, can hardly accomplish for
the amateur planter in the course of
half a year what a single visit to a
shrubbery or q perennial garden would
accomplish for him in half an hour.
And, in addition, as everyone knows,
the parks themselves would be all the
more interesting and delightful for
these garden sections.
The average person knows few
shrubs and few flowers. To tell one
Of these that the SNOWFALL with which
he is familiar is only one of score
or more Of available viburnums that
the shrub he knows as a lilac" can
be had in numerous varieties, some
growing even into tree form, or that
what he calls the "syringa" or the
"mock orange" can be had in dwarf
bush that is q mere pygmy beside its
robust cousin-to recount facts of this
sort is to surprise him. Yet it is i'm
portant that facts of this sort be
brought before him. There is too
much uniformity in the planting OF
city yards-too much use made of
the same material. Public gardens,
exhibiting net only the common varie-
ties, but the uncommon as we'll, those
not so often met with but despite that,
quite as beautiful as the others, would
serve to overcome the tendency toward
monotony already only too apparent.
There are many purposes, as mat
ter of fact, that these gardens would
serve, all of which the park board
might do we'll to consider.

Owning Home Gives Sense of Security

Ownership, like faith, affords sense
Of security-and the whole concep'
ton Of home is based on feeling of
security. You can close the door and
the world Is shut out. You can 60
away from 1t, and it will be there
when you come back.
Now the tenant, the man who lives
in other peoples houses, can never be
sure that it will be there when he
comes back. In fact, that Is one Of the
reasons why he lives in another mans
house-he doesn't want it there when
he comes back. And he sets forth on
an eternal quest after an elusive, vi
sionary something whose absence
makes this present dwelling whited
sepulcher.

Need Not Endanger Sewers.

Complaints are heard Of tree roots
entering sewers, but If the joints are
perfect no such thing is possible. Roots
are attracted only by soil moisture and
cannot partake of food through any
other medium. Therefore no moisture,
no roots. Concrete is never water
proof, but may be made so by asphalt
and other coverings. If so treated and
q good sob is done, no tree roots will
ever enter q sewer through joint in
the pipe.

JUST A HINT

1t is a poor business to plant a
garden and permit the chickens to
scratch it up after planting. You
can keep the bugs and. insects off
by using paris green or arsenate of
lead and this viii also settle the
chicken problem, as the chickens
scratching for the cut-worms will
get a "death dose" for themselves.
This hint is thrown out to the
owners of town chickens that are
depredating on the neighbors' gar
dens.--Cadiz Record.

FAILURE IN WAR
MEANS GERMAN DOMINATION

Contribute to Red Cross fund and

made to the people of Mt. Sterling.
Actual German occupation of

Cross Committee in its efforts to
raise $1OO,OOO,OOO as a bulwark for
victory for the United States and
our allies.
"Are the American people going
to let the rest of a liberty loving
world struggle and suffer for us and
eventually be stricken down, taking
with them in their fall the only bar
rier that now stands between the
Germans and ourselves? These are
no speculations, they are facts.
Unless we in America wake up, I'M
