A COMMUNICATION TRENCH

Most people have heard OF Gipsy
Smith and how he has been in the
trenches with the allied soldiers in
France, and is now in this country
working in the interests OF the Y. M.
c. A. Following are some quotations
from recent speeches.
"A score of London journalists have
asked me on my return from France,
What is to be the attitude of he Y. M.
c. A. to he churches" And l replied,
"A communication trench. And that
is what 1t will be If you have sense to
make it that Don't be jealous Of it..
You never knew the sun to be jealous
of the clover field in bloom. Why, the
sunshine is to nike all these things
possible, and the church Of God ex-
lists to send forth such movements
as the Y. M. c. A. in ever increasing
streams of beneficent ministry"
1.-TWO hundred Y. NJ C. A. huts were
under shellfire when l left the bat
tie lines in France. Some Of them
were in the dugouts and in the trench
es, right in the trenches. We have
centers in Mesapotamia, in Egypt, in
Palestine. Wherever the allied forces
60 we have these huts. Jerusalem had
not been captured five hours before
we nd hut there
What do we do in these huts? Why
q Y. M. C. A hut is church. q cathe-
dral, club, q home away from home,
a canteen, refreshment room. IL
brary, recreation room, a game
room, and q reading room"
Gipsy Smith says that 100000 Brit
ish officers and men have been won to
Christ by the Y. M. C. A. workers
since the war began. He says that
the soldier boys are giving arms. legs.
eyes, everything even life for liberty
and righteousness, and that 1t II the
duty Of the rest of US to give every
thing possible that will help win the
war.

to have them fitted up so as to
accommodate more adequately Wis
itors from the various branches.
A letter Of criticism comes
from the inspection department
of the northern division head
quarters concerning our May
shipment and inasmuch as it is
!, entirely justified we have decid-
ed pass it along. Philip work
ers spent more than the usual a.
mount Of time in shaping UP this
shipment. In one instance a
lady took home with her a dozen
bed shirts and reserved nearly
all the seams. Two other workers
spent two afternoons ironing and
pressing garments. This simply
means that some of the individu-
al workers are not careful with
their work. They are probably
aiming ait large quantity rath-
er than the quality of what
they do. They may not realize
either, that the garments should
leave their hands in condition to
be delivered to the hospital in
France without further work
A little more care in this con-
nection will save much work
at the Philip headquarters and
criticism from Minneapolis. TIE
letter referred to is as follows: j:
"My dear Mrs. Waggoner: Your
shipment of May Goth has been
received and inspected and there
are several points ] wish to
call your attention to. Tn one
case you listed 10 hospital bed
shirts and on these the sewing
was not done as well as we
would like to have it. and the
shirts were not pressed and
some of them were little bit
soiled. We want everything
that comes in here to be in con-
dition to be sent Immediately to
the other side and when gar
ments are soiled, it necessitates
our having them laundered here.
We are sure that you do not
wish to put the inspection de-
partment to this unnecessary
work and that in future the
garments will come in clean,
neatly pressed and folded as
nearly 11Ax111s as possible. The
knitting of the double heel has
been discontinued now and 1
am sending you our instructions
for socks with knitting chart,
which T know will be of service
to you in inspecting knitting in
the future. In folding the
pajama suits, do not fold the
coat and trousers separately but
fold them together in one pack
age. Thanking you for this
shipment. Yours very truly,
Elsie H. Horton, Inspection De-
partment.

To show how farmers Of the
United States are meeting the
shortage Of farm help a field
agent of the Bureau Of Crop
Estimates in a recent report
told of seeing a farmer in In
diana driving a team Of six
horses hitched to a disc plow
and leading three horses draw
ing a harrow. He was WORKING
nine horses and two modern
farming implements, and doing
the work of several men and
teams under the old system Of

MISS ELIZABETH SKINNER
TO SPEAK ON WAR WORK

A treat is in store for the women of
Tarpon Springs when tomorrow af-
ternoon Miss Elizabeth Skinner, Pi-
nellas county chairman of the wom-
ans committee of the council of ma
tional defense, will speak at the Red
Cross work rooms at p. m. on war
activities, including child welfare and
baby year.
Miss Skinner has just returned from
the national convention at Washing
ton, where she has been in conference
with Miss Julia Lathrop, DR.. Jessica
Crexotte and Herbert C. Hoover.
After her talk Miss Skinner wishes
to meet all the presidents of the va
rious women's clubs of the city.
Miss Skinner is qualified to tell
much of interest and helpfulness to
the women, and it is hoped that a
large number of our ladies will be
present to hear her.

Mrs. Alice Chapman
Has No War Garden
Article Sent The Leader Was Not
About Her Garden But Was Clipped
from Northern Paper and Applied
to Gardens in General.

A letter from Mrs. Alice Woodrough
Chapman this morning requests The
Leader to explain that the article re-
Gently appearing in its columns under
the caption: "Mrs. Alice Chapman
Sends Minute Description of Her War
Garden" was incorrect.
The article Mrs. Chapman so kind
ly sent in was clipped from some
northern paper and applied to war
gardens in general. Mrs. Chapman
explains that she is neither guilty of
having war garden or of writing the
article.
The many friends of Mrs. Chapman
who worked here all last winter under
her direction, in the Red Cross surgi-
cal dressing classes, will be glad to
know that she has not given up this
great work, but is only taking a rest
at her delightful summer home on
Long Island, and will be in Tarpon
Springs again next season.
Mrs. Chapman and her mother, Mrs.
Woodrough, send kind remembrances
to their friends in Tarpon Springs.

THE SHELL GAME"
At ROYAL TONIGHT

Picture theatre -goers will find much
that is interesting in the Metro pic
ture, "The Shell Came" starring En-
my Wehlen, the versatile young Metro
actress, which will be shown at the
Royal theatre tonight. For those who
have read Kenneth L. Roberts's Sat
urday Evening Post story, "Good-Wil
and Almond Shells" this perturbation
will have an added interest.
To those who are uninitiated, the
real meaning of "The Shell Came
will be a puzzle. What is a shell
game? In this case almond shells en-
ter into the plot which is concerned
with the scheme of a confidence man
de luxe. This man of wits plays what
is known among men of his kind as a
"shell" game to blackmail an appar-
emily unsuspecting victim. Silk Will
kins, the operator of the shell" game,
uses an almond as the means of COM
municating a message to his hoped
for victim. With the skill Of his pro-
fession he inserts the message into an
almond and then fastens it together
again, removing all appearances of its
having been tampered with. Their
when the victim, who has an unusual
fondness for almonds cracks the nuts
at his meal, Wilkins slips the fixed
almond among the rest and waits fol
results. This starts an interesting
chain of events which become more in
teresting when the shell is cracked
and the mysterious message is read.
Miss Wehlen is supported by
strong cast, including Henry Kolker
Joseph Kilgour and other favorites.

GULFPORT FAVORED AS
NAVAL AIRPLANE BASE

St. Petersburg, May 24.-That Gulf
port was recommended as site for a
naval airplane station by the special
committee which visited here last win
ter has just been revealed by the re-
ceipt of copy of the report made
several weeks ago. This report, filed
as preliminary report No. 6 of the
committee on navy yards was sent to
Secretary L A. Whitney by Con-
gressman H. j. Drane. No action
has yet been taken on the report and
whether a station will be located at
Gulfport is problematical.

out-nature- Nature, and incidentally
out German Germany, since we have
in sight for the coming year the GER
tainty of meeting all our needs in
this line"
Sulphuric Acid.
Sulphuric acid is used in almost all
the manufacturing and chemical arts.
In all the nitration processes already
mentioned, sulphuric acid plays part.
We always made it in large quanti-
ties. but the production for the year
1917 was more than 100000 tons
greater than for 1916, and amounted
to 5,5O0,OO0 tons.
"The chemists of the country seem
to have been awake at the switch, and
| think we must agree that they have
been singularly effective in their
work" said Professor Parr. "Yours is
not the glamor Of the ponp and cir
cumstance of war, but you have the
goods, and your quiet and steadfast
continuance in the work of scientific
development has in it the very essence
of patriotism. Your satisfaction and
compensation must come from the
witnessing on every hand from every
line of scientific endeavor the inesti-
mable value and far-reaching infu-
ence that flows from your work"

ply. The keIps of the Pacific coast
are being developed; the alunite de-
posts of Utah look promising; and
chemists are just beginning to make
use of the products of cement fur
naces, green sand and feldspar.
Potash has been used largely in glass
making. Soda has been tried as a
substitute, and now the chemist of one
large glassmaker in the country says
they are SO pleased with the results
that "they would not return to the use
Iof potash even should it become again
available"
Sodium cyanide has been substitut-
led for potassium cyanide in gold
working, and is found to be better and
far cheaper.
Graphite Crucibles.
In all metallurgy, from gold to
steel, the graphite crucible is essen
tial. 1t was made from special clay
to be found only in Germany. One
year after the war began the whole
stock was exhausted. But a vigorous
search for substitutes was going on,
and today crucibles of American clay
are being made, the superiority of
which over the German can be guar
anteed.
Optical Glass.
All the glass for telescopes, field
glasses, cameras and range-finders
came from Jena, except for the OUT
put of one French and one British fac
tory. The war kept all of this at home.
"The problem was taken up by the U.
S. government laboratories, and by
scientific calculations and deductions
coupled with skillful experimentation
they are now able after ten months to
produce not only better but great
er variety of optical glass than the
Germans had been able to produce in
ten years."
Nitrates.
These are necessary for making all
our explosives -nitroglycerine, nitro
cellulose, trinitrotoluol, trinitrophenol
also for fertilizers and ammonia
and saltpetre for household and manu-
featuring uses. All the nitrates came
from Chill. But four-ffths of the air
is nitrogen, so we have at least the
raw material.
CAS- a protective measure, while we
are doing our thinking, the govern
ment is spending $35,000,000 on re-
serve supplies from Chill. But al
ready Professor Bucher, of Brown un-
iversity, and the chemists of the Cen
eral Chemical company, each along
separate lines, have developed success
full processes for the manufacture of
ammonia, the present most effective
starting point for the manufacture of
nitrates and nitric acid, so that already
work has begun on the establishment
of a plant at Sheffield, Ala, capable
of producing 10000 pounds of ammo
MIA per day. Germany, of course, has
been doing her own developing, for it
is assumed that she did not have a
stored up supply of Chile saltpetre
sufficient for more than about year.
But it is now evident that we will
