WONDERFUL FEAT OF NELSON
How a Writer Got Things Mixed on
Incident in Life Of Great
Admiral.

It is, of course, necessary that writ
ers of historical "reminiscences be mas
tiers of certain amount Of accurate
information about their heroes If they
are to avoid mistakes. There is an
amusing instance of how one writer,
lacking such information, got things
mixed with reference to an incident in
the life of the great Nelson.
Not so long ago reviewer in Lon
don paper, criticizing q book on Mel
son, related on his own account the
following episode Of the eminent Brit
ish naval commander:
"While in chase of Villeneuve's
French feet he was informed Of the
enemy heaving in sight, at which in
formation Nelson evinced the highest
satisfaction and gleefully rubbed his
hands,"
whereupon some one Immediately
pointed out that this incident had &C.
Cured in 1906, and that Nelson had
lest his right arm in the attack on
Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, in 1797-eight
years prior to his pursuit Of VILE
neuve's fleet.

FIRST STARTED PUNCTUATION
Venetian Printers Were the First to
Develop Rational and Compre-
hensive System.

The first to develop a rational and
comprehensive system OF punctuation
were the famous Venetian printers,
Aldus Manutius, his son. Paulus, and
the latter's son, Aldus, Jr. Aldus Ma
nutius, also known as Teobaldo Ma
nucci and Aluo Manuzio, was not only
the founder of the famous Aldine
Press and one Of the greatest scholars
of his time, but he was the father of
punctuation In modern times.
Aristophanes, the ancient gramma-
rian, invented system Of punctuation,
but 1t was wholly lost during the Dark
Ages, and no attempt was made to re-
vive 1t until the reign of Charlemagne.
Under the latter's direction, Warnes-
fried and Alouin formulated a punctu-
alton system, but there were few rules
governing the use of their signs, and
they were practically worthless. Al
dus Manutius and his successors Of
the Aldine Press increased the num-
her of punctuation marks and estab-
tished fixed rules for their use. Later
grammarians have introduced some
improvements, and the rules of punctu-
alton have been changed somewhat
and new ones added, but the punctua-
ton system Of the Manutius formed
the foundation for that now In use.

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States NAVY

To The American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting to over 81, 600. 900
to a British bidder for Ia and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
Weknow nothing Of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
lie is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1900 l4-inch shells at a
price of $l,5l5,0O0. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government, al
though we have expended, I'm
wages, materials, etc, on these
orders 1922 1891, and we have not
received a SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
10 addition, literal Interpretation of
the contract might make liable for
penalties amounting To 3678.0l6
In the light OF our experience. and hav-
Ing no other basis, We bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded Q l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.

woodpeckers are willing occupants Of
artificial houses, and even the downy

deemed such home satisfactory

Of making log house is to split

in length through the middle and then
to cut out cavity with gouge. The
excavations in the two halves can be

house and how to place the template

AVAUNT SPOILED BEAUTY
IS CRY OF DR.. GORDON
Pastor Says She Makes the Rest of
the Family Work.

The spoiled beauty was scored by
Rev. DR.. James L Gordon, in a sermon
in the First Congregational Church last
night. as one of the many elements which
tend to disrupt a home.
He spoke on the theme, Cruel Rela-
tives, or the Traitor in the Home"
DR.. Gordon told Of spoiled beauty
he knew whose cheeks were as though
pelted with roses and her complexion Hike
alabaster. But every other member OF
her family slaved for her. The girl was
lovely, but positively cruel She would
not lift a finger to help her mother"
He declared that in many homes there
was too much dnreasonableness, too
much friction created by insignificant
things and a lack Of appreciation, all of
which Dr. Gordon styled traitors in the
home.
DR.. Gordon said in part: whether in
life or in death the grandest thing in all
the world and in history is a happy
home Cooperation is the one key to a
successful home.
1T Is hard to rise above the associa-
tions of your home. would rather be
great in the home than wreathed with a
garland of popularity in public.
And how many hearts Of mothers are
crushed underneath the heels Of the reck-
less lives Of her children. And how many
fathers go out and defame their name
and home.
IF you plant a good home on earth
you make the best contribution to your
flag and civilization"

PASTOR SIGHS FOR DAYS
OF GOOD old long Ago.
Men Poorer Then-Hence Better Of.
Says Dr.. Wallace Radcliffe.

Poverty was praised by DR.. Wallace
Radcliffe at the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church last night in a lecture
on '"The Old-fashioned Day."
THE old-fashioned day was a day of
poverty" he said, "and poverty is often
sixth sense that recognizes opportu-
nifty. 1t stimulates inventiveness. 1t
stimulates courage. 1t compels en-
durance. 1t makes us work.
The old-fashioned day was a day of
leisure. Those days OF leisure meant
scholarship. Those days meant culture.
To-day few are able to live up to their
china and silver.
1T was a day of individuality. We are
losing our individuality now.
1T was a day OF convictions. Today we
are in an age of doubt 1t is the fashion
to be skeptical"
DR.. Radcliffe added that IL there had
been many pacifsts at the time Of the
Revolution We probably would still be
sending notes to Great Britain.

STICK TO GOSPEL,
ADVISES MINISTER

'If Jesus Came to Washington to
Preach" was the subject of a sermon de-
livered by Rev. w. F. johnson, at the
Grace Baptist Church yesterday morn
ing.
"If Jesus came to Washington He
would preach His gospel, and not make
His mission the healing Of the sick" said
Mr.. johnson. He would preach the low
ing gospel Of His saving power and try
to save lost souls. He would not talk
on many Of the topics some Of our So
called Christian ministers speak on. The
trouble with our present-day ministers
is they do not preach the gospel they
have been ordained to preach. They med
die with politics and new ideas, and omit
to preach Jesus Christ
