An Heroic Trinity.

A glorious thing, the helmet of Nav
ARE! A glorious thing, too, the straw
hat of the farmer! A glorious thing, the
mechanics cap!
To surge forward in line with brave
men charging evil that good may come
what experience more sublime? War
for supreme good is heroic. For anything
less is damnable.
How the mind of the world has broad
ened in this day of unexampled stress
and struggle. Ideals pronounced for the
present world war place men in the held
and workshop in field as heroic as that
of the resounding battle line. For the
fist time in history the worlds great
leaders declare man may prove MS
heroism and valor to as high point with
hammer OF hoe as with sabre or rlfle.
The ploughshare has taken its place be-
side the cannon, the jackpiane beside the
sword in the hall of fame
Ships and more ships. Guns and more
guns Food and more food. Demands
for these are more inSistent and contlnu-
GUS than for trained armies. To enlist
now in the armies of production is as
gracious and noble as to enlist IN the
armies for the destruction of evil. er-
haps more so. The National Army
marches away to the blare of bands and
shouts of an enthusiastic populace. Re-
cruits to the shops and the hillsides go
to their posts of duty in silence But
the factories that wait the labor OF their
hands and the valleys that wait the SOW
ing of pregnant seeds for the necessary
harvest are no less battle grounds OF glory
and honor than those of France and Bel
GUM and historic Italy. The men who
supply the soldiers at the front are their
comrades in every great event, and are
battling with equal sacrifice and ardor
for the cause of humanity. Their hero
ism is not less heroic. Great winnings
in the fields and shipyards are as neces-
sary as great winnings in Elan ders.
All at once the straw hat has as great
significance as its wool brother adorned
with it's crossed sabres. The smoked cap
above the brow of the mechanic has the
same significance as the brimmed cap of
the men who man the big guns.
Men who try for enlistment in the
Army and are turned back for disa ability
need no longer fret under forced inaction.
They may still serve their country and
the democratic half of the world, in &C
ton just as vital as that they sought in
arms. 1t is now known to be as neces-
sary to make two bushels of wheat where
before was but one as to make two less
enemies of freedom where the struggle is
more dramatic; to make another ship as
to level an enemy's work.
Put them aloft, side by side, the straw
hat, the brimless cap and the war helmet.
There is the trinity that will win the war

MAINE ITEMS.

Brooksville's tallest man, Blanchard
Leon Austin, six feet three and a half
inches in height, was among the recruits
who left Bangor Thursday morning for
Fort Slocum, N. Y, says the CONNER
cial. Austin, who is only half an inch
shorter than President Lincoln, the tal!est
chief executive, enlisted with his brother,
Albert Joseph Austin, of Brooksvllle,
who is 10.
In taking Blanchard's height, the re-
cruiting officer, Sergeant Bloom, had to
stand on stool.
81 am not going to get out OF the army
until | see Berlin" he~told Sergeant
Bloom and added, II would have enlisted
long ago only | wanted my brother to
come along with me, and as he was not
ready, waited until he was, and here we
are both ready to fight the Germans.
consider my self as good as any two Ger
mans am as tall as two Germans, and
believe me, | can handle pair OF Huns.
"By the way, Sergeant, " he asked the
officer, 40 | get more money than my
brother?"
"Why should you?" parted the ser
geant
''Well, Pm as tall as two soldiers. y :.
''We don't pay by the size OF men,
was the reply.
"Will the government give me decent
sized bed?' continued the laxative
Yankee. Down in Brooksville, | had
special bed made for me, and ii the gov
eminent will let me, I'll take it with me.
don't care what eat, but / do care tor
bed large enough so could grow. l
am told that there was never taller man
in Brooksville and no one is going to
beat me if have to grow another yard. -
Austin has served six months In the
United States navy and bought out OF
the service in February, 1916, on account
of his fathers health.

Plans Special Training for 10000 Drafted
Men.

Provost Marshal General Crowder will
begin within a few days calling out for
special instruction the men in the draft
needed by the army in technical positions.
A general survey of the educational in
situations of the country is in progress,
it was announced Wednesday, to deter
mine what colleges and industrial schools
will be available for their training during
the summer months.
Probably 60, 600 men, obtained princi-
pally. from class one, will be ordered out
for special training. Local draft boards
will publish widely the opportunity that
is offered to registrants, with view to
obtain as many voluntary inductions
into the service as possible.
While the requisition for skilled men
by the war department for the remainder
of 1918 totals 365, 900 men, officials OF the
provost marshal generals staff believes
this will be materially reduced when the
various items are carefully considered.
It is thought that many cases of dupli-
cations have occurred through the fact
that each department arrived at it, needs
by independent computation.

The Swivel Chair Corps.

Congressman Charles c. kearns of
Ohio questions the wisdom of the War
Department in granting commissions to
clerks in its service, evidently for the
sole purpose of giving them an increase
in salary. He says he has personal knowl-
edge of several cases where young men
were working side by side on similar
duties at $1,000 or $1,000 veal, each.
Some of them when the war was declar-
ed were given commissions as captains or
first lieutenants. Their work has re-
manned practically the same, the only
difference being that they receive high
er salary and wear uniform. In addition
to that they will probably be kept at
their present duties for the period OF the
war, while their companions IN the same
office without a uniform are liable to be
called for active military service at the
front. Mr. Kearns thinks that such
system is in the interests of neither eff
ficiehcy nor discipline.

Testing Airplane Motors.

When the first Liberty motor was ready
to be tested it was taken to Pixies Peak
that it might be studied while running
under ATMOSPHERIC conditions obtaining
at h;oh attitudes. This difficulty of bring
inc the motor to the mountain is now
overcome at the Department of Com
merce Bureau of Standards at Washing
ton, by bringing the mountain to the
motor.
Airplane motors are now tested at the
Bureau of Standards in a laboratory
where various conditions corresponding
to high attitudes and low temperatures
are secured. The engine is placed in an
air-tiaht concrete room, provided among
other things with refrigerator coils and
large pump to reduce the pressure OF the
air. By use of this apparatus motors
NAV he observed under conditions similar
to those at different attitudes, which
might otherwise be done only by actual
airplane flights.

DRY SWEEPING DANGEROUS.

.Dry dust swept up from floors and
into the air of the house is dangerous,
saws the State Department of Health IN
a statement issued Wednesday, "just as
dirt swept up on the streets is dangerous
to the public" "The germs of many
diseases are carried on dust particles
brought in from the street or from other
homes. When these germs are swept
into the air, by dry broom, there is
created a danger Of disease Infection o.?
Undoubtedly a great many cases OF in
fuenza or grip, pneumonia and other sim,
liar ailments are traceable to this source. "
The use of damp cloths OF brooms
dampened in water or in some mild anti
semitic solution is recommended by tne
State Department. The vacuum cleaner
is mentioned as the best and safest IN
strument for cleaning.

TIIB LITTLE HOMES OF FLANDERS.

In Flanders Land the lights are Quenched,
The lonely hearths are cold;
The children sing gay songs no more,
Their eyes are strangely old,
For war has walked through Flanders,
And Deaths black wares he sold.
In Flanders Land the bells are hushed,
No more doth gladness reign;
And lovers Irvine their hands no more
Along the moon-swept lane.
Where baby faces used to peer
Blood streaks the window-pane.
In Flanders Land the trees are dead,
And all the flowers are gone;
No more from happy roofs curls up
The chimney smoke at dawn.
The Hun has ranged his ruthless guns
Across each humble lawn.
O little homes of Flanders,
That cry and moan in pain,
God grant that We shall one day drink
LIES loneliness again!
For all the world knows We have kept
Your honor free from stain.
