BODY MAKES ITS OWL lEAl
Changes Which Are C:HSt--t;y
Taking Place.

The heat of our bodies is the ,;irec
result of the chemical changes whici.
take place in all the tS>ucS and or
gans of the body. Brubacker's phySi
ology says that leach contraction of q
muscle. each act of secretion. each ex-
hibition of nerve force is accompanied
by the evolution of heat.
"The chemical changes" ii contin-
ues, 'are for the most part OF the na-
ture of OXidatiOns, the union OF oxygen
with the elements, carbon and hydro
gen, of the food principles either be
fore or after they have become con
stituents of the tissues
''The ultimate source of the body
heat is the latent or potential energy
in the food principles, which was alb
sOrbed from the suns energy and
stored up during the growth Of the
vegetable world" When the food

War Strain Causes Nerve Shock.

The term shell shock has misled
many persons to believe that it is due
to the profound impression or shock
produced on the nervous system by
the detonatiOns of high explosives.
No doubt, there are cases Of actual
brain or nerve injury due to concus-
sion of the air accompanying shell ex-
plosions, but these mechanical causes
are a great deal less frequently re-
spOnsible for war neuroses than the
mental effects Of general war strain.
1t is remarkable that these war neu-
roses, common as they are among pri-
Yates and officers alike, are seldom
found in men who have been actually
wounded. Perhaps this seeming anom-
ally is due to the actual wound shock
offsetting the mental impression af-
fecting the controlling nerve-center In
such cases.-Popular Science Monthly.

Faneies Of Children,

The Spectator speaks of that region
into which the 'grownup' has no right
of entry, and no key to turn the lock, -
the mind of the child, and then gives
some instantaneous flashes of the child
point of view, point of view discon-
certingly aloof and apart from that of
''grOwnups." A child, on tOrpedoed
ship, when everyone was anxiously
hoping that 1t would keep afoat, was
heard to say, in a weary voice: "Oh,
when will the ship go DOWN." A small
boy who was being shown the bust of
his grandfather, mounted on a little
circular stand, asked his mother
whether his grandfather had been a
very wise man, and then added: But
was that all there was OF him?' Per
haps the Gaping story is that of an
other little boy who. when told to make
no remark on a guests absent foot.

Warfare of the Future Likely to Be

batants alone without violent interfer-
ence with the peaceful pursuits of

First. however, we must evolve
great engines Of destruction, so per

chimes Will be so costly that only a
few great powers viii have the re-
sources 10 construct and maintain

systems Of taxation will be necessary
TO organize the whole people for their

physically perfect TO endure the terri

meet and surmount every intricacy OF

Above all. these hero supermen
must be of such answering character
that they will. day in and day out.
without surcease, devote their unfiag-
ging zeal to the great task of defend
ing the civilization for which they con-
tend The evolution and the increaS-
ing economic burden of maintenance
of this machinery will make war the
luxury of the most powerful states
and will cause the area of war con-
stantly to recede. Small nations will
no longer be able to maintain military
establishments, and eventually the mil
lions of men who now battle upon the
field of honor will have been replaced
by a contest among few men in con

THE PERSONNEL OF
GENERAL FOCH,
Sketch Of Commander-in-Chlef
Of The Allied Armies In
Europe.

At this time especially, a sketch Of
General Foch, Commander-inCh of
the Allied Armies, is of general inter
est. The following are some particu-
lars concerning his career:
General Ferdinand Foch was born
October 2. 1851, in Tarbes, Hautes
Pyrenees, France, very near the birth
place of General Joffre. His devotion
to Napoleon and his work may be ac-
counted for by the fact that his father.
Napoleon Foch, was a Bonapartist and
Secretary of the Prefecture at Tarbes
under Napoleon III. General Foch has
two brothers, one a lawyer and the
other a Jesuit priest.
He left the small college in Tarbes
TO serve as a subaltern in the Franco
Prussian War in 1870, and was soon
recognized as a student and military
scientist. In 1887 he was made cap
tain, and later, while brigadier-gen-
eral, he returned to the Ecole de
Guerre as it's director.
After five years in this position he
became commander of the Thirteenth
Division of the French Army, and later
he was placed in command of the
Eighth Corps, at Bourges.
When war broke out in August, 1914,
General Foch was commanding the
Twentieth Army Corps, at Nancy.
Evening capital and Maryland gazette., 1918-06-12
Eoch Keen Student Of War.

General Foch, like General Joffre,
is home lover and avoids society.
He is said to live In a small fiat near
his office, when not at the front, and
to be devoted to his family. The con-
ventions of society bore him. Like the
proverbial Englishman, he is fond of
taking long walks, and never knows
when he is beaten. His saying that
'the battle is never lost until its loss
is admitted" is famous and indicates
not only his military wisdom, but his
sane and courageous philosophy. Al
ready master of strategy before the
war, he has not been slow to learn the
new lessons of the present conflict
rather, indeed, has he developed added
initiative, decision and military audac-
ity.

TAXES PLACE OF REAL EYE
Invention of French oculist Invaluable
to Soldiers Who Have Suffered
Disbursement.

The high velocities and high explo-
siveness of the present-day pvoiectiles
rften result in facial wounds of most
horrible appearance, in the repair of
which the surgeons meet with extreme
difficulties. In particular, soldiers re
turn from the line of fire not merely
with an eye shot out. but with the en-
tire Id and eye socket destroyed, and
the absence of these foundations has
often made the insertion of an arti-
fetal eye impossible.
Until the present moment there has
never existed any means for conceal
ing this Disagreement and restoring TO
the unfortunate victim the appearance
of normal man possessing two ewes.
But quite recently Il French ocu iSt.
Henri Einius, has made it possible TO
do this even when the eyelid is entire
ly missing.

Gas Well Finally "Tamed."

Out in the sagebrush-covered wastes
of eastern Washington there has just
beeu tanned big gas well, and devel'
opment work on the property is now
under way. The flow of gas was dis
covered three years ago, when a mis-
guided settler drilled for water and
had a four-inch pipe blown out of the
ground. A year later a passerby threw
a lighted match into the gas and foi
is months the we'll burned day ane
night, a beacon visible for miles
around. A few months ago the old
well was capped, the gas used to pro
vide fuel for a modern drilling engine
and an 1S-inch pipe has just been sunE
into the gas reservoir.

Reply Of War Department ohiciaI to
Siaeker's Request Might Almost

The following letter, addressed to a
certain branch of the war department.
and dated from town somewhere In

days ago:

Il would like a position in some
branch Of the war department as a
typewriter and stenographer.~
The officer to whom this letter came
for reply has seen considerable ac-
tive service, not only in this war, but
in others. He notified his stenographer
that he would write personal answer
10 the young man who desired war
service. A portion of his letter was as
follows:

received in this office, and am writing

Heavy Demand for Rubber.

The world discarded $4,000 tons of
automobile tires during 1916. Adding
to this the large number of bicycle
tires thrown away every year by their
owners. ii appears that the world
spends every year at least $6OO.OOO,-
900 for pneumatic tires alone. Nearly
100000 automobiles are now in use
In the United States. To supply these
with tires nearly $1,000 tons of India
rubber are needed every year, and th'
American automobile owners pay every
year as much as $500, 100000 for tires
