ROME FOR THIRD TIME
Debaters of Both Schools Spoke
Forcibly But Judges Decided
Against Home Speakers

In the annual debate between the
Rome high school and the Marietta
high school, held last night in the
local high school auditorium, the
visitors were awarded the decision.
The subject under discussion was.
Resolved, That compulsory arbitra-
tion should be adopted as means
of preventing strikes. The debat-
ers for Rome, on the affirmative
side. were William Baker and Bowie
Efllican. The representatives from
Marietta were Slaton Awtrey and
Greer Edwards. F'Orceful, convinc-
ing arguments were presented by
both sides The speeches showed evil
dence of having been carefully pre-
pared and were well delivered. The
arguments of the Marietta boys
were clear and cogent and they
showed particular skill in their re-
Buftals. The judges were Or. G. G.
Sydnor, Prof. ]. NJ. Harden, and
Rev. T. NJ. Fleming.
The auditorium was attractiyely
decorated with the blue and gold
coIors of the two schools. Members
of the x. X d. literary society were
grouped together in one corner OF
the nall and gave rent to their en-
thusiasm by yociferous yells for the
contestants. In spite of the. disa-
greeable weather, a large crowd as
sembled 10 hear the debate. The
meeting was presided over by Fred

Camping Courtesy.

Good camping grounds should be
the special property of sportsmen and
lovers of the woods, and it is pity
that they should so often be desecrated
by the unappreciative. This the sea-
son when the forest floor will be
strewn with tin cans and crackerbOxes,
when the clean woods will be marred
with all sorts of ugly rubbish, and
when the pleasure of late campers
will be half destroyed by the vandal-
ism of their predecessors. Great tracts
of forest will be blackened by flames
set from little campfres. The growth
of young timber will be checked. And
all the trouble could be baniShed If
only people would observe the few sim
pie rules of the woods! The forest is
the last refuge of solitude amid beau
ty; therefore do not make its secluded
glades into vulgar picnic grounds. No
blesse oblige there as elsewhere, and
though the after-comer may not know
you he will know what sort of person
you are by the condition of the camp
ing grounds you leave.-The Country
side Magazine.

GERMAN RUBBER TRADE HIT
War Has Had a Disastrous Effect on
That Industry of the kaiser's
Empire.

The war has had it's effect on the
rubber trade in Germany. The manu-
facture of rubber sporting goods, toys
articles of luxury and the like has been
almost entirely curtailed. Had de-
mand existed, the lack Il the neces-
sary raw materials, even IN substitute
qualities, would not have been forth
coming. Business is very slack In san
itary and surgical goods, because the
: essential, fine crude rubber can only
be had for military purposes, and
skilled labor, which is very important
in this line, is very scarce.
The enormous consumption of solid
and pneumatic tires by the German
army has given the manufacturers all
they can handle. Business decreased
appreciably, however, towards the
close of the 1915. The cycle tire in
q 1stry has not been favored by war
con ditiOns. Only reclaimed rubber has
been available for making castings and
only very limited quantities of crude
rubber bave been allowed for inner
tubes. TIE restrictions on the use of
cotton fabrics has practically stopped
the making of cycle tires for other
than military purposes. - Popular
Science Monthly.

MAKING HAY IN THE ALPS
We in This Country Are
Accustomed.

Haymaking in the Swiss Alps Is pur-
sued under peculiar difficulties and
dangers. The thrifty Swiss farmer
turns every bit of ground to advan-
tage. If few square yards anywhere
can be made or reclaimed the labor
Is not grudged. The farmer makes
the very soil. He builds terraces along
steep inclines, lines them with blocks
Of stone, and then packs earth upon
them.
Along the very edge of precipices
the Swiss haymaker goes in search of
grass, clinging to rocks with iron
clamps upon his feet. He hangs on
the side of the cliff and mows down
a few tufts of grass on craggy shelves
here and there.
During the two months of hay har-
vest he descends to the village only
three or four times to renew his sup
ply of food, and many times he has
TO seek a bed and pass the night un-
der some projecting rock. Once dried,
the hay is carefully gathered into
cloth or net and carried down to the
first little meadow. Here it is stacked
and weighted down with large stones,
to keep it from blowing away.
The mower returns to the mountain
in winter, when the ground is snow
covered, and takes with him a little
sledge. Putting the hay on the sledge,
and seating himself in front, he shoots
to the valley with the swiftness of an
arrow. The hay of the Alps is gar
nered.

Costly Modern Guns.

Sir Robert Hadfleld, the noted Eng
lish maker of projectiles, is authority
for the statement that the useful life
of a modern high-velocity gun is about
three seconds. Which is to say that
the time taken by the shell in travel
ing through the gun, from powder
chamber to muzzle, multiplied by the
total number of rounds that can be
fred before the rif1ing is so worn as
to impair the accuracy, give total
useful life of only three seconds. Rath-
er a short life for, let us say, a II
inch gun costing from $4,000 to $780,

MOVING TRAINS AND BULLETS
What Would Happen If the Rifle Were
Fired From Back Platform
Is Explained.

A correspondent sends these two
questions to the Scientific American :
Il. If train was running at speed
of 60 miles an hour and man is sit
ting on the back end of this train
with a gun that would shoot at the
rate of 60 miles an hour and he shoots
from the back end of this train in
opposite direction, what effect would
this condition have on the bullet?
SO. If the man with the gun was on
the front end of this train and was to
shoot back at q man on the back end
Of the train and the train to be 60
ing go miles per hour and the gun
would shoot at the rate of 60 miles
an hour, what would be the result?'
TO which the editor replies:
81. In the case you propose, the bull
let, after it left the gun, would still
move forward with the speed of the
train and backward with the speed
given it by the powder. Since these
two speeds are equal and opposite in
direction, the bullet would drop to the
ground directly under the point where
it left the gun.
''2. In this. case the man at whom
the bullet was shot would be killed.
if the aim was good. This may be
made clear, perhaps, by asking if you
could not throw q ball on a train to
a man to the rear of the place where
you are standing? Could you not toss
a biscuit to a person in the next seat
in a car either toward the front or
rear? If you could toss a biscuit,
you could fire bullet in either direc-
ton and with the usual result when a
bullet is fired. This matter seems very
simple to us. We do not know why it
causes so much discussion. ."-Scien-
tific American.

JUST FORM OF WANDERLUST
Woman's Propensity for Bargain Hunt
ing Explained by Scientist Who
Has Studied the Subject.

Too long has mere man scorned the
female bargain hunter, says the New
York Press. Too long has he smiled
indulgently or gently rallied the wom-
an who INDUCES in the wild scramble
or the foot-wearying pilgrimage after
a marked ed-down-from" to some odd
figured price just under the currency
unit.
These same men have been proud
of what they termed their wander
lust" Proud have they been to re-
count to admiring youngsters how they
ran away to sea, or took to braking
on the railroad, or chased away to
some Pan-American opportunity for
getting rich quick.
Along comes Prof. Max Baff, bluff
and to the point as to his name, and
pronounces that bargain hunting is
simply another form of wanderlust-
ing. Both, he says, are due to high
blood pressure of youth (not the sort
Of hardening arteries), and to each is
due about the same modicum of pride
if you want to get chesty over your
blood pressure at all.
The good doctor found this out by
using a sphygmometer, and to the
"sphy,'' as the laboratory men may
call it for short, bargain hunting and
shipping as a stoker, suffrage stump
ing and adventuring for hidden treas
ure all look just the same.
Of course, there may be something
about human beings you can't size up
by using instruments that end IN "me-
ter" and sometimes the laboratory de-
vices make stranger bedfellows than
politics ever achieved. Still, Doctor
Baff's conclusions sound more human
than instrumental, and it is time for
man to come off his call-of-the- wild
perch and allow women their due for
the wild thrills, the joyous adventur-
ing, the big gamble and the delicious
zest of hunting down bargains in their
natural lairs.
