LABORATORY CARS.
Red Cross to Equip Five for Use in
Epidemics.

The medical advisory committee OF the
Red Cross war council has just decided
to equip five laboratory railroad cars
which will be prepared Tor emergency
work against possible outbreaks OF cpl
denies in environment camps in this coun-
thy.
Each ear will have staff of five or more
experts and will be SO stationed at various
cities that any cantonment can be reached
with one of these laboratory cars within
- hours on receipt OF request from federal
or State authorities.
DR.. K. VI. Pearce, secretary of the med
| local advisory committee, in explaining the
| plan said:
/ In sudden emergencies such as cpl
denies Of meningitis or diphthera, either
inside a military encampment or in the
vicinity, great deal of highly specialized
| laboratory work viii be necessary fol
proper control OF the epidemic. Although
laboratories will be established in each
district, sufficient for ordinary require
Iments, these may have neither the equip
Iment nor the staff to meet such emcr
Igencles, and To enlarge all Of these labora
tories would be excessively expensive.
The setting up OF an emergency lab
toratory always involves loss of time anC
lsome confusion. The most practical wa!
To meet the requirements is to have sew
leral laboratory ears, fully equipped ant
distributed at various points Throughout
the country, SO that one may be dellvere,

In an intensely interesting illustrated

but always diabolical contrivances that
the Germans have lately made practice
OF leaving in trenches from which they
have been driven by the allies on the
western front. Among these one is de
scribed as follows:

OLD SOL SUBLIME.
at His Best in Puget Sound Region,
Seattle Paper Says.

Many orators and writers are Just
now crying for a place in the sun, but
most Of them are talking and writing
III the shade. They have to, from where
they are located along the Atlantic
coast and III the middle west. But out
here in the cool, green Puget Sound
country. with the midsummer sun fall
ing slant instead of vertical on the
yerdant valleys sung to by ripping
mountain streams or wooed by the soft
lapplngs of the wind-caressed salt wa
ters of the inland ocean, place in the
sun has a meaning all its own.
Old Sol is, of course, the most sub
lime figure in our planetary system. To
be caresscd by him under any circum-
stances is distinguishing mark of
favor. To him we owe life itself in
every physical sense. Dear Mother
Earth generously Turns about every day
to bring us face ito face with him.
When the day work is done and mus

-Four Weary eyes and rocks us gently to
sleep, as loving mother should. At
morning she rolls us once more into
| the face of the sun, drawing the Grim
son curtains of dawn slowly so as not
hastily to dazzle our eyes with too
| sudden splcndor.

| first veneration for things wonderful
| and supreme was born in their hearts.
It took the patient discoveries of Gal

Those discoveries carried the magma
ton of man into farther fields of spec
ulation and increased his reverence of
the greater and unknown Sun, the God
Creator of all suns. But where else
on earth does the sun find so IRE.
lproachable a symbol of the kindly, gen,
erous, benefcent, and all-pervading
Soul of the Universe as here in the

comfort whatever, but only to feel tht

The$lovely and elegant home of that
crown prince of hospitality, the big
hearted and noble-souled Alb. Weaver

full daughter of Mr.. Weaver and his re-
fined and most excellent wife, who is a
lady of rarest charms and sweetest

Oar Celebration of May Day.

without community spirit is like .
man without a country.
1t is not too late to make up u
minds to celebrate some particular
day in May as it may be convenient,
as our May day. Perhaps there ts 9
friend you have long wanted to call
upon and who is feeling hurt and
neglected: maybe o possess an his
torical relic. the gift Of which would
be greatly appreciated by your library:
possibly there is some one who would
enjoy the ride you could give them;
or a child whose heart would be mad6
gladden. this May time by the out
grown books and toys resting on the
| 'plunder room" shelf.
It isn't absolutely necessary you
know, to carry our May baskets all
on one night, for the good May fairies
are waiting round the corner any and
every day in May. overjoyed with the
opportunity Of assisting in making
someone happy.
Then, too, 1t wouldn't be such a
bad idea to tuck some little May notes
Of cheerful encouragement into a COM
some Jack Tar or soldier far from
home. So many of the rockies will
be pitifully young, and how hard it
has been for their mothers to give
them up! What If it isn't your boy
or mine? That doesn't matter in the
least. He is a dear. brave lad just
the same or he wouldn't be fighting
for you and for me.
Just suppose each one Of us think
out q May basket for some one and
see that it reaches its destination.
There is nothing like service for 9TH

Beautiful faces are those that show
The radiant light of the heart-ires'
glow;
Beautiful hands are those which find

The observation Of May day is Just
the natural expression of joy which
bubbles up in everybody's heart with
the coming Of the lovely spring time.
The celebration Of May day as a

custom. which was greatly enjoyed

of the prettieat sights Of all wal the
May pole dance with the bright rib:

the donor Of the May basket ran
swiftly away, it being supposed that
good fairies were responsible for the
gay little offering.
All this sort of thing made harmony
and good feeling among the people
and gave a day Of innocent and whole
some pleasure long to be cherished
in memory. Such things teach us to
love u homes and native land, and
make for patriotism and loyalty.
Our own celebration Of May day
has sort Of dwindled, the sentiment
Of 1t being pushed aside somewhat by
the busy lives we lead. May day has
