harne whlstIe calIs RIrds.

A striking example of wildbird In
telligence has been observed on the
Panama canal in connection with the
underwater blasting that is carried on
there. A barge has been especially
equipped for drilling blast holes below
the water and depositing charges in
them. When blast is ready the craft
moves of TO a safe distance, and be-
fore setting off the dynamite the barge
whistle is blown several times to warn
all vessels in the vicinity. Instantly
numbers of wild birds may be seen
coming from all directions, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine, the reason
being they have learned that many
dead and stunned fish rise to the sur
face Of the water following each ex-
plOsion. To them this particular
whistle is like a dinner gong. More
remarkable still, they readily distin-
guish between this whistle and others.
Canal wOrkmen and natives also share
In the harvest.

ERent ~ Erennh ! annnane.

A writer in Scribner's Magazine
speculates at some length on the ef-
feet the French language will have on
our own when the soldiers come back.
He says: zone Of the most prolific
sources Of new words in a language is
an attempt to name new ideas. Amer
lean soldiers in France will absorb
many new ideas from their contact
with the French and British; there
will be many new shades Of meanings
for ideas denoted by old words. To
express these the men viii inevitably
adopt French words or use English
words with a new shade Of meaning.
/ have not yet collected any examples
of this; but It must take place, and
one who watches the literature that
follows the war will see many exam
pies, If they are not observed before"

NAVY EVER ON THE ALERT
Case Of carelessness at Sea Is . Thing
That Commanders Punish With
Necessary Severity.

With not light showing the trans
ports plowed the Atlantic. bringing
American soldiers TO France. writes
naval officer in the Saturday Evening
Post Lookouts high and low under
navy discipline, searched the seas for
hostile periscopes. The convoy. the
apex Of which was a big cruiser. was
invisible in the black night. The Wig
lance Of the navy training protected
the soldiers, sleeping with their life
belts on.
Suddenly out shot a bright light on
the leading transport; a merchant sail
or, one Jesus Fernandez Mendoza, a
Spanish fireman, flashed an electric
torch, fumbling about the deck. The
light could be seen for miles. Instant
ly a navy lookout reported the occur
renee to the navy officer in charge Of
the ship. A sharp command, a scuf'
1e on deck, a bluejacket kicking the
torch overheard stayed the Spaniard's
desire to fondle an electric flashlight
In the submarine zone. Five days sol
ltary confinement ended the lesson.
Showing a light on a man-O'-war at
night in time Of war is a cOurt-martial
offense; even lighting a cigarette or
having matches. The navy command
er, in absolute charge, enforces mill
tary discipline on a merchant vessel
carrying troops and Furnishes the
guilty.
Because Of the navy, criminal care
lessness and conduct involving the
safety Of thousands Of men came to
naught and a possible catastrophe was
averted. The navy was In command.

SAYS RISK is EXAGGERATED
oHlelaI Of Explosive Factory Denies
That Occupation ls as Danger
Gus as Is Generally Believed.

In a paper read before a medical
association in the east, DR.. w. G. Hud-
son, medical director Of E. l. DUPONT
de Nemours & Co., manufacturers OF
explosives, recently made some in
teresting statements concerning the
risks connected with the manufacture
Of powerful explosives. He asserted
that the dangers of that industry were
greatly exaggerated. AS a matter OF
fact, railrOading shows much higher
injury and death rates than the manu-
facture Of explosives. OF the acci-
dents which occur in explosive fac
tories only a small percentage are ae-
tually caused by explosives. Four
fifths Of the accidents are due to care
lessness or negligence OF employees
who disregard the precautions neces-
sary wherever men are working with
tools and machinery. By increasing
the share Of work done by machinery
and reducing the number Of workers
in proportion to the increased use of
mechanical appliances, the manufac-
turers of explosives are striving to
diminish the hazards connected with
their business, says Popular Science
Monthly.

Don't Get Hired So Easy.

ed all day and all night on a stretch.

''Work itself, as the modern busi-
ness world is organized, cannot pos
sibly tire out the man of average nor
NAL health. If it could, Edison would
have been dead at the age Of thirty
five, Bell would never have produced
the telephone. Henry Ford would not

KENT LIBERTY KITCHEN

Some of the Dover women met in
the Liberty Kitchen last Thursday
afternoon and canned apples for the
Red Cross. The fruit was donated
by Mr.. Freer, who is thanked most
heartily. Twelve quarts Of fruit we're
obtained without any expenditure of
money, as the jars were donated by
the Red Cross and no sugar was used.
Ii is also desired TO thank the Motor
Messenger Service for their kindness
in going for and delivery TO the Lib
erty Kitchen all surplus fruits. This
will be a great advantage in prevent
ing waste by delay.
Each one should remember that he
is responsible for any waste occurr-
ing in his community. Anyone hav-
ing fruit which they desire to give to
the Red Cross should report TO the
committeeman or to the
Home Demonstration Agent, Dover
434. It will be called for and pre-
served to be used by the boys in SER
vice next winter.
Anyone having fruit and wishing TO
do canning at their own home may
call at the Liberty Kitchen and there
get jars and sugar, providing they
donate the filled jars to the Red
Cross.
II is the endeavOr to make this
'wasteless community. With your
cooperation and aid it can be done.
Do your bit by reporting surplus fruit
and by taking an active part in the
canning. either as community work
or as home work, for the Red Cross.

WHY ZEPPELINS FAILED

When there was Zeppelins raid
over London or Paris the English
or French aeroplanes drove them
back and destroyed many of them,
because they were SO slow and
clumsy that they were easily over
taken aid destroyed.
Zeppelins are like a balloon. They
have a gas bag that Keeps them in
the air. The English aviators shot
flare bullets in these gas bags and
the Zeppelin exploded
1t took a great deal of metal to
build a Zeppelin because they are
SO large. Germany had to have
metal to make SO many shells that
they could not build the Zeppelins.
The Zeppelin was not made to
fight, but to scare the people Of
England and to show them that
their isolation did not protect them
from Germany.-Paul Blossom.

receipts for such small amounts.

A MOONLIGHT SCENE.

The scene occurs in about the
middle of the month OF July and
just ON an evening when there is
a full moon, which makes every.
thing look just right
AS you stand to look at the i'm
aginary picture you see something
very beautiful.
Far back are some trees that are
just the exact height. In front of
it is a large fountain with the
moons rays dashing upon the wa
ter. 1t loks as if some fairies with
glittering dresses were dancing
about in glee on the water.
There are some messy looking
vines on the house that stands
quite a distance away from the
fountain, and beside the climbing
vines on the house, there are
good many bushes in the front of
the fountain that just suit the pic
ture.
The young couple in the picture
adds to the attractiveness. 1t is
young girl land her soldier brother.
They are sitting on bench among
the bushes. We can imagine that
they are talking of the past, when
he was still at home.-Rosa Radke.
