LONG BOY

He was just long, lean country gink
From away out west where the hoptoads
wink;
He was six feet two in his stockin' feet.
But he KEEP gettin' thinner the more he'd
eat.
Yet he was as brave as he was thin.
When the war broke out he got right in,
Unhitched his plow, put the mule away.
An then the old folks heard him say:
REFRAIN.
Goodby, ma! Goodby. pa!
Goodby, mule, with yer old heehaw!
may not know. what the wars about,
Eut, you bet. by gosh, I'll soon find outi
An, oh, my sweetheart, don't you fear,
Ill bring you king fer souvenir!
I'll git you q Turk an q kaiser. too,
An that's about all one Teller could do.
One pair Of socks was his only load
When he struck fer town by the old dirt
road h@
He went right down to the public square
An fell in line with the soldiers there.
The sergeant put him in uniform;
His gal knit mitts fer to keep him warm
They drilled him late. they drilled him
long,
Then he marched away to his farewell
song.

''In 1776, on the 4th day Of July, a
nation was born, dedicated to new
theory of government and new ideal
Of human liberty" he said. ION the
4th day Of July, 1917, our newspapers
announced throughout vast and pop
ulous continent to people who for
more than 100 years have known rolit-
ical liberty and with it uneXampled
progress that an expeditionary force
Of their soldiers had landed, without
the loss Of a man, on the soil Of France
to defend in that place the great prin-
ciple of democracy and liberty under
which they have thrived SO long.
Devoted to Justice. :s
America has chosen-nay, she chose

1--WE entered this war to remove from

"Never during the progress OF this

"Let us bring out Of this war the flag

NAN METER USED IN
SELECTION OF OFFICERS
Psychology Expert at Fort Sher.
idan Has Devised a Unique
Standard.

Uncle Sam is using "man meter
In the selection OF the officers for the
new national army.
DR.. Walter Dill Scott, former head OF
the department Of psychology of North
western university, now a government
expert, visited Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, the
other day. The "man meter" Is said
to be his invention-the result of the
application of his knowledge of psy-
cholOgy to the task Of Judging men. At
the request of a number of industrial
leaders he used the same plan In con-
nection with big business organizations,
but for some time he has been in gov.
eminent service.
His plan was presented to the In.
structors Of the reserve officers train
ing camp, but 1t will be used only In
part, as It came some time after the
selective machinery had been grinding.
He. previously. had presented 1t ut
Plattsburg, Fort Myer and Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, where 1t is said to
have been adopted. And 1t is expected
It will be used throughout the second
camps.
The theory Of the "man meter" Is the
establishment of standards by which a
man may be judged. DR.. Scott found a
means of doing this. AS 1t is applied
to the army's present task, tho basis
Is established by the Instructors COM
parison OF the candidate he is Judging
with ten army captains under whom
he has served.
There are five points to be scored
physical qualities. intelligence, military
leadership, character and general value
to the service. Each of the first four
is allowed a maximum Of fifteen points
and the last a maximum of forty
points, making 100 the highest possible
or ideal score.
The things to be considered In con-
nection with each point are outlined.
For example, under Intelligence" the
Instructor considers lease of learning,
capacity to apply knowledge and abil-
ity to grasp readily and solve new
DrOblems"

Federal Agents Believe Farmers"
Ought Not to Be- Employed.
A new Stacker ruse was found
when 1t was learned that federal agents
have recently been investigating the
payrolls OF a number Of farmers OF
Newton, Flushing and Great Neck, N.
Y. Certain farm hands are wanted
who are supposed to receive So week
for playing golf and tennis and living
on the farm.
The farmers, It is said. have received
compensation for employing" young
sons Of the rich Long Island set who
believed that by registering as farm
ers they could escape conscription. The
farmers, 1t IL believed, have in certain
cases given away their own game, for
they got tired Of "the young swells
who didn't know the difference be-
tween q grub hook and cultivator'
and began to talk about their "em-
ployees."

CHANCE FOR MARRIED MEN.
All Those Who Are Dissatisfied May
Join Georgia Mans Company.


A regiment of dissatisfied married
men Is the suggestion that has come
from Rome, Ga, to contribute to the
gayety of nations and relieve the ten
sity of feeling which absorbs every
good American now that realization
has come Of what the war will really
mean to the United States.
The French, with their wonderful hui
NOR and inexhaustible wit in the face
of death, have taught the world that
fun and the most sublime patriotism
can live together, and it is no discredit
to Americans that the element Of hui
NOR enters into the war news as 1t has
done in other countries.
A prominent gentleman Of Rome, Ga,
whose name is withheld for very obvi-
GUS reasons and whose wife Is said to
be strong woman, announced the 9th
er day that, inasmuch as the conscrip-
ton law is unfair to married men, he
was going to raise company Of dis
satisfied bencdicts.
He is said to have got so many re-
cruits in response to the call for volun-
teers that his wife called at his Office
and solemnly Informed him that the
joke had gone quite far enough.

FACTS ABOUT our NAVY
AS TOLD BY LIEUTENANT
Tells Of the Effect Of Constant
Firing on the Large CaIiber
Guns-0ther Details.

A fourteen inch gun is built up from
eight or ten hoops or steel tubes. Each
is turned to an exact fit less several
thousandths of an inch, then heated
red until expansion permits 1t to be
drawn on. 1t cools and adds strength
not only by its thickness, but by the
grip of its shrinking, writes Lieutenant
Fitzhugh Green Of the United States
battleship Texas for the Vigilantes.
The first or inner tube has helical
grooves to give rotation to the shell,
just as In any sporting rifle. TremenA
dous firing pressures between fifteen
and twenty tons per square inch, COM
bined with acid gases and other prod
ucts Of explosion, cause erosion or
wearing away and pitting Of the
grooves. Inner tubes must be renewed
periodically. The life Of the gun, so
called, is, about $50 shots. Since fire.
quent target practices are held few
years elapse before guns must be taken
ashore and retubed. The total cost OF
retubing fourteen inch gun is in the
neighborhood Of $4,000.
Besides the inner erosion, constant
shocks Of explosion crystalline the
whole steel structure. Capitalization
Of metal may be likened to the drying
of cheese. At first the mass is relative
,lystough and elastic. After the heavy
punishment of protracted firing, gun
tubes weaken and become brittle. Micro
scopic examination reveals contraction
and disintegration of metal particles,
just as cracks and crumbly sections oc-
cur in a cheese. Further use of the
gun is dangerous. Sometimes the crys-
tallized state is reached sooner than
was expected. The guns crack or burst.
On the Michigan fifteen feet OF a
twelve inch gun broke off and fell on
deck. On the next load the gun cap
tain, having opened the breech to re-
port "bore clear" shouted, There amt
no borev'
The charge Of fourteen inch gun is
1856 pounds Of smokeless powder put
up in four silk-linen bags. The back
end Of each bag Is painted red and con-
tains about four ounces Of black pow
der called the ignition charge. A brass
primer similar to rifle cartridge ex-
cept it has no bullet ignites the black
powder, which in turn sets fire to the
smokelcss powder. Contrary to popu-
lar belief, there Is no real explosion,
but progressive burning Of enormous

forcing the projectile out.
A fourteen inch shell weighs 1,4OO
pounds, is five feet long and contains a
bursting charge. Twelve strong men
lift one with difficulty. Yet from the
gun it can sink a battleship twelve
miles away. 1t travels at the rate of
1900 feet a second, or mile every
two seconds. On striking 1t expends
an energy Of 65,GS7 foot tons. or enough
to transport load Of two tons to twice
the height of Mount Everest.
