Work and the Busy World,

Are you one Of the persons who can.
not work in crowd? II you are, you
are a most unfortunate person, for II
is fact that in this busy age most of
us have to learn to do our work
wherever we may happen to be. 1t Is
seldom that we find 1t possible to work
In seclusiOn. shut away from the noise
and rush of business, observes an eff.
cheney engineer.
Most large business concerns are
beehives Of activity. Unless one can
find 1t possible to concentrate on the
work In hand, even In the midst of
confusion, 1t Is plain to see that much
time will be lost and much energy
wasted In this rushing world, where
each one faces many duties In many
lines of activity.

Chamberlain's Tablets are intend

billiousness and constipation, and
have met with much success in the
treatment OF those diseases. People
who have suffered for ., ,.rs with
stomach trouble and havs been I'M
able to obtain any permanent re-
lief. have been completely cured by
the use Of these tablets. Chamber
lain's Tablets are also Of great value
for billiousness. Chronic constipation

MOON INFLUENCE IS ABSURD
Phases Of the Great Night iIluminator
Have Nothing to Do With Crops,
Say Scientists.

In the farmers almanacs you will
find tables of dates proper for plant
ing crops, killing hogs and so on based
upon the phases Of the moon. And
the Rural New Yorker Is authority for
the statement that many farmers still
adhere faithfully to this ancient sys-
TEN. To show them how absurd this
is, 1t prints the following statement
by G. +. Marvin. chief of the United
States weather bureau:
1T Is the general belief Of scientists
that the moon has>nO appreciable in
fluence on temperature. rainfall, or
any other weather element, or on plant
growth.
"Plant growth depends upon temper
ature. light, humidity and plantfood
Cloth In the soil and In the alr), and
its availability. Obviously the moon
neither mellows the ground nor fer
tilizes 1t, neither does 1t alter the COM
position Of the atmosphere; hence 1t
affects neither the mechanical condi-
ton of the soil nor the kind or guam
tity of available plantfOOd.
IF the moon has any influence on
plant growth 1t would seem that 1t
must exert this influence through its
light. Experiment, however, shows
that when plant Is so Swallowed that
1t gets only one one-hundredth Of nor
nal daylight, 1t grows but little better
than it does In absolute darkness. Full
daylight is about 100000 times bright
er than full moonlight; hence one one.
hundredth OF daylight. already too fee
BILE to stimulate appreciably plant ac-
tivity, Is still 5000 times brighter than
full moonlight. The conclusion Is that.
even In respect to light stimulus, the
moons influence on plant growth Is
wholly negligible"

Telephone Many Years Aao.

There are not SO many new things
under the sun as people suppose. The
telephone has the credit Of being an
entire novelty. yet Robert Hooke two
hundred and odd years ago, wrote:
II have by a distended wire prOpa-
gated sound to very considerable dis
lance In an instant, or with as SEEM
ingly quick motion as that of light +;
and this not only In straight line,
or direct, but In one Bonded In many
angles"
Here was the invention of the tele-
phone right In hand, so to speak, only
Hooke did not follow up the lead. So
the world had to wait two centuries for
the admirable instrument which saves
SO much of humanity's time today.

futile, for the British, ever on the
watch, raked the Germans with their
fire and repulsed them with consid-

Likewise attempts by the Germans
to carry out raids on small French
posts near st. Quentin. Dezonvaux
and Vauquers. resulted in failure.
and in addition the enemy lost men

AMERICAN FORCES
EXCEL THE GE RMANS
CLOSE PRESSED THE MARINES
GAVE THE ENEMY A TEST OF
COLD STEEL.

New York. June There has been
no letup OF the American and French
troops against the Germans in the
region northwest OF Chateau Thierr3
Where in the past two days severe
defeats have been inflicted on the
enemy and American marins have
won great praise TO rtheir valiant
fighting.
Batting shoulder to shoulder over
a 'front.' Of six miles, from Vinly
which lies just to the northwest OF
Veuilly la Poterie, to Bouresches. the
Americans and French have captured
the towns OF Veuilly- la-Poterie and
Bouresches and also made progress
all alons the front
Previously To-cy had fallen into
the hands Of the Americans
Nowhere on this battle line have
the Germans been able to stay Tie
efforts of the allied troops although
they have fought with great tenIcity
The marines everywhere have de-
Clined to take backward step gol.: E
forward apainst the emmy. even
when he had superiority in numbers
Close pressed the marines have given
the Germans a taste OF cold steel
even in the race of machine gun fire
surrounded they have fought tnei,
way through the gray coated lines
with their bayonets
al
no part of the game OF modern war
fare IN which the men from oversee
have not eNcelled the enemy.
The losses to the enemy thus fal
are deciered to have been extremely
heavy and the terrain they have lCs'
is considered Of high strategic value
inasmuch as it is on that part OF tbs
battle front through which the Ger
mans had hoped to crush their way
forward and attain an open road lC
Paris
The casualties of the enemy were
particularly severe during the stree
fight in BOwesches where the Amer
leans pushed him back step by step
| The plans of the American commani
/
did not include the capture of Torcy
: but when the marines reached thu
objective assigned to them they couI,
not be restrained and they kept o.
until the village WAS in their hands
Twenty-Five Of the marines droy'
out wo hundred Germans from Torcy
| Hard held in other sectors IRON
SCISSORS to Chateau Thierry, the Ger
mans after very heavy bombardmen
have essayed attacks on the Marn,
The attacks were ill-starred and tn
Ienemy had to accept defeat. A Frenci
attack at Bligny resulted in that VII
lage falling into their hands in 1t
entirety.
On the remainder OF the haiti
fronts there is still slight activity
aside from commandments and patro
| encounters.
