Shell Shock.

Shell shock is commonly supposed to
be a new complaint, due to modern
heavy artillery, but I have found case
Of it as far back as the year 1411. The
victim was an elector Of Brandenburg,
Friedrich OF the Iron Teeth, and this
is Carlyle's account Of his experience

besieging a Pomeranian town, Ucker-

one day a cannon ball plunged down
upon the table with such a crash as we
can fancy, which greatly confused the
nerves Of Friedrich, much injured his
hearing and even his memory thence

DEATH CONES IN FEARFUL FORM
Lad Falls Upon a Piece of Glass
Which Penetratcs His Bowels
Over Six Inches

| CHARTER OAK, Ia, July 21.-The
11-Xear.old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Clin-
ton Sciford of Ricketts,, near here. met
ner on last Monday afternoon.
The lad attended a tent show in
Ricketts,. After the main entertain
ment was over a concert was an
nounced and the boy was going to
stay. While the crowd was changing
he thought to get out of the way, so
stepped to one side, into a dark cor
ner AS he stepped out he fell and in
the fall he ran large piece of glass
into his side. 1t was about six inches
long and perhaps three inches vide
so large that the cut it made permit
ed the intestines to protrude. The
glass was still inside his body when
the doctors got to him and every move
he made made the injury worse. In
this condition he was taken to his
home, the folks not knowing that the
glass was penetrating the boys body
and slowly killing him. .
From the first they gave very little
hope. They found the bowel not on
lily protruding, but badly cut and torn,
and this on ragged, dirty piece OF
glass, almost sure to carry more or
less infection. The wounds were
dressed, the cuts were closed, but all
to no avail. .as's-

Navy Beans For. War Crop.

Va Navy or field beans is one of the
easiest crops to grow in Missouri and
to the southwark, says Missouri Agri-
cultural college. Beans will make a
good Yield on poorer soil than almost
any other farm crop. They may be
planted then on soil which would not
produce good corn crop. Even on thin
! soils they will not require fertilizers.
They can be planted late, after the
spring rush Of other crops is over. They
will demand only a third the cultiva-
,tion required for corn A yield Of from
ten to twenty-five bushels may be eX-
pectM In favorable season and with
average care. These advantages, to-
gether with their high food value and
the ease with which they can be stored
make navy beans an excellent war
crop.

The principle by which it has minimized vibtedon
and thus increased power and heightened motor

Hudson Super-Sxes because they can rely upon

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1917-07-25

Il The Hudson Super-Sx motor, more than any
other type, has minimized vibration. That is why
the Hudson Super-Six is more powerful and capable
of greater endurance than other cars. ~
H~ These Tests Prove 1t ut :
Hudson Super-Six speed tests are in reality en-
duranCe tests. s-s.t E..a-a.,s-..~t K ..ts
It is possible to build faster cars than the Hudson
Super-Six Special, but the speedway record OF 1O4
miles an hour for 200 miles, now held by Hudson
Super-Six Special, proves that endurance is more
important. 1,..> w.
Faster cars have never been able to meet the
strain of such long distances.
Endurance is just as vital to you as it is to the
driver on the speedway. Even though you may
not care for great speed, you do want endurance.
Your car must be able to meet every service strain
Our interest in racing is not so much to see how
fast we can make the Hudson Super-Six. 1t is
to demonstrate motor endurance. It would take too
long, at ordinary driving speed, to demonstrate the
endurance life of Super-Six. The speedway
in few hours calls for all the stamina required in
years of ordinary use. These racing tests are Of
interest because they show the endurance Of a
Hudson Super-Six. >:r9'>' ~ VI H.
