SPIRIT OF AMERICA TODAY
Veterans Pathetic Gift Showed That
His Heart Still Beat High With
Patriotic Fervor.

An old man, thin and bent with the
years of hardships plainly marking his
wrinkled face, stood on station plat
form at an Indiana town recently as
a train bearing a party of young men
registrants to Camp Taylor stopped.
The old man wore faded blue uni
form. the badge of the Civil war. He
had a message for the young men who
were to be enrolled in Uncle Sans
great army, and soon he was surround
ed by group of young fellows.
IT wasn't counting on getting TO talk
to so many of you boys" he told them
TREMENDOUSLY. 81 just came down to
give something to one of Uncle Sans
new soldiers"
He drew a parcel from under his
coat and opening it displayed pair or
almost perfectly knitted socks. "They
amt much for my country" he apollo
gized, "but they will help some young
fellow to fight better. These don't look
like much for soldier to give, but l
knitted them myself and bought the
yarn out of my pension money"
A thin fellow got the socks because
the old soldier thought he would need
them most. The train pulled out ana
the little old soldier went back home
to knit another. pair of socks for an
other young soldier.

SMOTHER THE HUNS
Help Anne Arundel Go Over the Top
i'm a Real Gas Attack

The time is here for Anne Arundel
to launch a gas attack against the
Huns. The mere fact that Anne Arun-
del is 5000 miles from the fighting
line doesn't make a bit of difference.
Anne Arundel is going 10 hurl tens
of thousands of gas grenades at the
heads of the barbarians who are fight
ing the forces of civilization in France.
1t is going to do ii by subscribing its
full quota and more of the Fourth
Liberty Loan.
Maybe you will dip into your pocket
with a greater joy when you stop to
think that every As cents that you
lend to Uncle Sam will put gas
grenade in the hands of one of the
boys over there. Anne Arunders min
imum quota for the Fourth Liberty
Loan has been placed at 100000 and
if this amount only should be sub
scribed. Anne Arundel will buy 1,777,-
500 gas grenades for the boys who
know what TO do with them when they
get them. Can't you hear the Huns
cry "Kamerad" when those 1,777,6O0
gas grenades are turned loose?

Edward Hungerford, who describes
the remarkable progress of wartime

He gives some interesting examples:
II have seen photograph of a wan

new process. 1t is the first real pic
although / formerly attempted the
thing myself. Most of the moonlight
pictures that one sees are fakes
made by photographing the sun in
various unusual and artistic phases.
But this was real. One could see the
tiny pools of water standing in the
uneven places of the tagging, the
Pickering street lamps at the corner. A
picture whose reality almost makes 1t
uncanny. And the photographer who
took the picture in the rain was ar
rested by gendarme as being mental
ly unsound. He was only released
when he took picture of tie lieuten-
ant al the police station ard proved
beyond n question that he could make
good portraits by artificial light.
have seen photographs made by
this new process from the front row Of
a theater balcony during the progress
of the play; others made in church
during vespers and illumined entirely
by the candles upon the high altar.
The process is very new and 1t is very
wonderful. Moreover, it is susceptible
of adaptation to night observation,

shipbuilding in = Dry Dock.

It has been proposed that concrete
ships be built in a floating dry dock,
the principal advantage being that the
forms could be retained in the dock so
they could be used Immediately after
launching. for another ship. The
launching would be effected by with
drawing the outer forms slightly and
sinking the dry dock until the ship
fioated on its own bottom. This would
avoid severe launching strains. and
would permit of launching the boat
while the concrete was still green.
Hence there would be reduction in
