HAM HISTORIC FRENCH TOWN
1t Was Here That Louis Napoleon
5onaparte Was imprisoned Be-
fore His Rise to Power.

Strange emotions must have over
come some Of the older French soldiers
as they hurried through the town of
Ham upon the heels Of fleeing Ger
mans.
1t was in the old fortress at Ham
that Frances last emperor was pris-
oner for many years, observes Girard
in the Philadelphia Ledger. After Ma
poleon's downfall at Waterloo a Bona
parte was as popular with the succeed
ing French kings as Jim the Penman
with bank presidents.
So Louis Napoleon BOnaparte, heir
TO the Little Corporals dynasty, was
first banished and then shut up at
Ham. He escaped from that place aft
er fixing up a dummy in his bed TO fool
the attendants and putting on the
clothes of a carpenter.
He walked through the prison gates
with a piece of timber on his shoulder,
went 10 Paris, was elected president
made himself emperor and was snuffed
out finally at Sedan.
1t was at Ham that Napoleon III
found himself another Man of Des-
tiny. And for a couple Of decades it
seemed as If he were.

Vanderbilts - married d Hungarian

My memory Of London hotels goes
back to 1875, when there was moi
single bath tub in any hotel in that
city. A tin pan and bucket of warm
water was the only "tub"-and you
were lucky to get that.
And in that same period in New
York city the Metropolitan and st.
Nicholas hotels, supposed to be models
of excellence, were totally wanting in
bathrooms.
Admittedly, 1t is as difficult to imag-
inc life without motor cars as without
bathtubs; but the former are less
than a twenty-year-old necessity, while
the bath was an institution long be-
fore the times of the Roman emperors.

Gun That Shoots Oil.

Vice Admiral Guimaraes of the Bra
lillian navy has invented for pouring
oil upon the water in storms a method
that is a notable advance upon the
methods hitherto in use. The efficacy
of a thin film of oil in breaking the
force of waves has been well-known
ever since Admiral CLIQUE of the French
army announced it to the Academic
DIES Sciences in 1887.
The multitude of torpedo boats, mo-
tor boats, trawlers and other small
craft with which the entente allies are
patroling their coasts ana watching for
enemy submarines has made it more
than ever necessary to improve the
methods Of spreading the oil.
Admiral Guimaraes has devised a
small cannon that can be moved about
easily and installed anywhere on 8
ship. This fires a projectile which is
nothing but a glass bottle nine inches
long and nearly three inches in dame
ter, filed with sawdust soaked in ami
mai or vegetable oll-fish oil is the

a charge of about an ounce and q half
Of powder. II can be aimed with great
precision to fall just where it Will do

FEAT MORE SWEET POTATOES" PLEA
 OF FOOD BUREAU
Hay Starts Campaign to Popularize Them--16, 100000 Bushels in Ala
 bama's Crop This Year

'The food preparedness bureau Is go- ing to ask you to eat sweet potatoes if you are not now making that a spe- cial feature of your menu" said T. F. Hay, manager. yesterday. If you are a regular sweet potato consumer then you are going to be asked to eat more to learn to fairly love them.
 There Is reason. Sixteen million bushels will have to find market in or out of Alabama this year If the crop that is going to be harvested this fall moves. The bureau has concluded that tho best way to popularize this wonder full food, which is raised so cheaply, and in which there Is such splendid profit to the farmer, is to begin at home.
 Birmingham, Jefferson county, and the entire state will be brought in con- tact with the idea-'eat more sweet po- tatoes'-and. like food conservation, it will spread. There will be converts every day. and we expect in this man ner to make the issue right close at home. If we can get Alabama to eat more sweet potatoes and to stop buy ing so many foreign Irish potatoes, then there will be a difference in the mar ket immediately"
