ENGLISH CHEER BATTLE HYMN
Enthusiastically in London
Concert.

London.-An American surprise was
spfung on the fashionable audience at
the opening of the annual series of So
cal He'd popular concerts" which for
a generation have been a weekly fea-
tufe Of the musical season in London.
Tile sololst of the afternoon was Miss
Carrie Tubb, perhaps the most popu-
Lar of native English prima donnas.
In response to the customary demand
for an encore. she sang with splendid
dramatic effect the famous Battle
Hymn of the Republic" When the
'firF notes of the piano accompaniment
ti1kled out there We're some smiles
among the audience, who knew the air
principally as used by the Salvation
army to carry a religious song in its
pen-air meetings. But the intense
,fetyor of the singer swept all before
her, and the song was heard in breath
less silence and hailed with enthusl-
astic applause

RABBIT SAUSAGE IS LATEST
Farmers Wives in Oklahoma Are Ad-
vised to Turn Pest to
Good Use.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Jack rabbit
sausage will be a new dellcacy in Okla
homa as a result of the war. In fact
a few farmers in the western part of
the state last winter found a substi-
tute as palatable as the real article.
At a meeting of farmers wives In
Kioka county, Mrs. Ida Gregory, coun-
ty woman agent, discu -sed the efficacy
of canning soy beans. One woman sug-
gested that the beans were hard to
raise owing to the raids of rabbits.
This objection was quickly discounted
by another woman, who exclaimed:
Keep the rabbits away until your
beans are foot high; then get shot
gun and let them come. Last year we
had jack rabbit sausage the season
through. BY mixing a bit of pork the
sausage really is better than that made
entirely from pork"

Marcel Cuny, ii French youth of the
Two Hundred and Seventy-ninth regi-
ment, who lived in Chantilly before
ards after he had captured a German
machine gun and six German prisoners
siIigle-handed in the fierce fighting
along the Chemin DIES Danes. Cuny
is not yet twenty years old and had
just been sent to the front when he
performed the act of gallantry which
won him the War Cross with a star
and palm on the ribbon. Cuny
crawled out in o-Man's-Land" at
night on reconnaissance duty and
found a shell hole between the two
belts of barbed-wire entanglements, oc-
cupied by the six Germans who were
acting as a machine gun team. Cuny
wis armed only with grenades, and as
he squirmed forward on his stomach
to the edge of the crater and raised
bomb to throw in among the Boches,
they all six raised their hands and
cried, 'Kamerade"
Cuny ordered them to the French
lines and made them carry their ma
chine gun with them. He took the
six steel German helmets off to Chan
tilly-he was granted nine days leave
for his bravery-and gave them as
souvenirs to the American ambulance
boys recuperating there.

BOATS NOW EMPLOY
SMOKE SCREEN DEVICE

New York.-New German de
vices for aiding U-boat frightful-
ness are reported by passengers
on an American liner just ar
rived In port from England.
One is the use of smoke
screen in which the submarine
may conceal itself while attack
ing, escaping or submerging.
The smoke screen has been used
for months by battleshlps, de
stroyers and merchantmen. Its
first use by a submarine was re-
ported in the warnings of d O.
boat off the Atlantic coast.
The other device is the use of
mirrored periscopes. By coat
ing them with silver the peri
scopes reflect the surrounding
water and become invisible a
couple of hundred yards away.
II Is believed this explains why
survivors of several ships lately
sunk saw no evidence of a sub
marine before or after the at
tack.

MILITARY SALUTE A
RELIC OF kNlGHTH00D

Washington.-The military sa-
Lutte had a curious origin. If the
tradition brought TO light by
United States Marine corps Off
GERS at their headquarters here
may be believed. The navy SOL
diers say that the salute orig
mated in the days of the tourna-
ment, at which a queen of beau
ty was chosen TO preside. The
knights and their esquires and
all who took part in the tourney,
on presenting themselves before
the queen, lifted each one n hand
level with the brows as though
dazzled by the light of her pres
ence.
Although its significance has
been forgotten. that same salute
is now used by military men in
recognition Of a superior rank.

the weight of each wheel.
As the weight of the car determines
air imitation. let is govern the tire size
also. II tires are subjected to greater
weight than is prescribed by the above
imitation table it is wise to figure on
larger tires. rather than to increase the
air pressure, would cause excessive
wear to the tires. An overloaded tire
will show premature wear while il run
under prescribed weight the tire VIII
show wonderful wear-resisting qualities.
even though 1t is put to the great re-
sponsibilities OF giving all the power TO
the car and transmitting all the resist
ance.
II is the wise motorist who takes time
to have his car weighed. under the
average load. and from this weight de-
termines the correct air pressure for his
tires and whether or not change to
the oversize tire would be advisable.
