COMMUNITY SING
PLEASING TO MANY

Pensacola was again treated to a
new war time pleasure in the outdoor
Community Sing last evening in Gar
den Street on the neutral ground be-
fore the Elk's Club. The audience
sang with a will and showed its keen
enjoyment OF the program Of fine songs
arranged and led by Henri Beaugard.
Navy Department song leader. The
sing was held under the auspices OF
the War Camp Community Service.
A great hit on the program was the
singing OF Earl Bradley of the Naval
Air Station who sang, IF He Can
Fight Like He Can Love, Lookout
Kaiser Bill" and as an encore They
Were All Out of Step But Jim" These
songs were sung in a way that showed
Mr.. Bradley certainly had Irish blood
In his veins.
In commenting on the sing last night
Mr. Beaugard who has led sings in
many parts of the country said that
IL was most inspiring to see the audi
ence take hold with a will. He stated
that he wanted Pensacola TO keep on
singing as there was nothing so good
for the morale OF community as I'D
learn and sing the songs of America
which are now being sung from one
end of the country to the other show
ing our spirit to back up our bots
in the trenches. This he said would
make our boys who are here with US
feel that we are with them and would
help them do the work Uncle Sam
wants them to do.
.'The sing tonight with the people
OF all ages singing made me think
of all of the good that could be done
IL everyone would keep on singing
and help win the war" concluded Mr..
Beaugard.
Jack Flynn of the Naval Air Station
was the accompanist of the evening.

Liberty Loan Flag
to be Uni ur]ed
At the City Hall

This morning when the pretty
stars and stripes are furled to the
breeze at the city hall, there will
be another flag just under 1t, for
no flag ever flies above the Amer
lean colors. The new flag to be
flung tosthe breeze with Old Glors
this morning is no less than the
honor flag awarded this city for
going so handsomely over the top
in the last. or Third Liberty Loan
subscription.
The flag is awarded to all COM,
munities making a showing in as
short q time as possible in oves-
subscription. It was received by
Frank Welles, chairman of the
Third Liberty Loan COMMITTEES,
and shortly afterward taken by
Mr.. Welles to the city hall and
turned over to City Clerk L. r.
Heinberg. It was desired that
advance notice OF the flag be given
so that Pensacolians could view
this evidence of their loyalty in
lending the government their
money so literally. and 1t was de-
cided TO ny 1t Saturday morning.
Hence at a. M today folks pass
ing the city building may see on
the staff the newest of honors won
by Pensacola.
This flag comes direct from Sec
retary of the Treasury VIM. c.

THUS FAR AND NO FARTHER
Men OF Science Baffled in Endeawors
to Find the Real Root of All
Languages.

The Oldest languages known at the
present time are the Sumerian, Baby
lonian Cor Accadian) and the Egyptian.
The earliest known Inscriptions belong
to about the fifth millennium B. c.,
but it is reasonable to assume that
these were antedated by many different
languages which had great antiquity.
The script Of the Sumerian, Baby
lonian Cor Accadian) and Assyrian was
the cuneiform. Chaldean, the lam
guage used generally as the diplomatic
language about the time of Belshazzar,
Is what we now know as the Aramic
language. Archaeology has thrown no
light on the subject of the confusion
of tongues. Abraham very probably
spoke the Aramaic, the language of
Aram. In Canaan his descendants APP
parently used the language Of the
land, which was that of the Ammon-
ties. This is what we now know as
Hebrew. 1t would seem that the Isra-
elites retained while in Egypt the Ian
guage familiar to them, but archeol-
ogy has thrown no light upon the sub
ject. Nothing has been discovered
which can be determined as antedi-
luvian. Babylonian legends mention
several cities as existing before the
food, and Arabic tradition says Haran
was the first city that was rebuilt af-
ter the deluge, but archaeology has
offered no certain data as yet on the
subject.

Scientists Familiar With Many Varie-
ties That Indulge in Sort Of
Bacchanalian Festival.

There would seem to be no partic-
ular reason from the human stand
point why the ivy should be called the
plant of Bacchus, since no wine is
made from its berries. Entomologists,
however, have found that the ivy
flowers provide a veritable bacchana-
lian festival. for number of insects.
Men of science are wont to sally forth
at night with lanterns to capture the
intoxicated moths that crowd around
the greenish blossoms. When the
willow is in bloom they find a similar
scene of dissipation around its yellow
catkins.
The tippling insect may be used to
point a moral by the prohibitionist,
since rum not infrequently leads TO its
ruin. There Is a fly so addicted to
wine that Linnaeus named it the "cel-
lar fly" which appellation Kirby
changed to the more appropriate one
of the "cellar wine drinker." Kirby
states that the larvae of this little fly,
whose diet he could attest from his
own observations, disdains to feed on
anything but wine or beer, which, like
Boniface in the play, 1t may be said
both to eat and drink.
There are bees and flowers whose
random meetings result in the same
curious phenomenon. On the single
dahlias and gaillardias of the garden
bees are often to be seen in the same
maudlin state, and these bees are more
frequently of the black and yellow
banded kind. If you take such bee
off the gaiIlardia the insect will re-
main in your hand, indulging in
quaint antics or simply trembling in
every member. Presently, however, it
will recover and fly off straight to
another gaillardia flower and in
very short time is again in its former
state of imbecility. One may pick it
up again and have a repetition of the
performance.

HAVE NOT let REACHED LIMIT
More Powerful Explosive Than Any in
Present Use Is Dire Possibility
Of the Future.

Nitroglycerin, although considered
one of the most violent explosives in
present use, develops only 1850 cal
)ries per kilogram, since the nitric
acid which 1t comprises does not take
part in the reaction and the hydrogen
md the carbon therein give only 43
per cent of the energy of combustion
which they would disengage if they
were alone. Explosives of liquid air.
Or oxyliquite, give as high as 2,200
,alories because the liquid oxygen
combines directly with the carbon and
he hydrogen. The combination of
hydrocarbides with ozone, ozonide of
athylene and benzine triozonide, though
1berating no more heat of explosion,
have a higher breaking value" be-
cause of the greater speed of decom-
position.
Theoretically, still more powerful
explosives are conceivable; trichlor-
ate of glycerin should develop 5000
caiories, twice the force of nitro
slycerin; and finally, a mixture of
liquid hydrogen and liquid ozone, if it
were practical, would give about $500
calories and would be the most terrible
substance possible to obtain.

Index Finger as Nut Cracker.

Nut crackers, which are based on
leverage, make us suppose that it takes
great strength to open nut; and, in
fact, everyone knows from experience
that without such little machine it is
hardly possible to overcome the hard
ness of nut. And yet one can open
hundreds of nuts in a very short time
without any implement and without
any effort whatever merely with the
aid of the index finger.
Place the nut upon a stone or
block of wood, but so that the joint
stands perpendicular. In this position
hold it fast with the index finger Of
your left hand, strike with the right
list hard upon the index, and the nut
VIII at once break asunder. Light
blows will not accomplish the feat.
One must strike hard 1t may happen
that the nut will fly away, but this
only proves that the joint was not held
n perfectly perpendicular position,
which is Indispensable to success. The
point of the nut should also be turned
.oward the chest.
