PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING
Reply Of War Department officiaI "a
sIacker's Request Might Almost

The following letter, addressed to a
certain branch Of the war department,
and dated from town somewhere In
the West, arrived In Washington a few
days ago:

the kaiser and his hordes. / am twen-

branch Of the war department as a
typewriter and stenographer."
The officer to whom this letter came
for reply has seen considerable &C.
tive service, not only In this war, but
in others. He notified his stenographer
that he would write personal answer
to the young man who desired war
service. A portion of his letter was as
follows:
"Young man, your letter has been
received in this Office. and am writing

Wood Wlthatands ouakes.

The ability OF wood construction to

nothing peculiar in this. On account

War Strain Causes Nerve Shock,

The term shell shock has misled
many persons to believe that 1t 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 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.

New York Jew as Beautiful az

Essex and Delaney streets are the
heart of the great many-tongued city
which lives over near East river

crowded-crowded with bearded men,
old women with shawls and sheitels.

girls, and young men clothed in the

On the corner year in and year out

shrunken face Is smeared dark by the
stubbie Of a sparse beard his fat lit
tie derby is pushed down over his
ears; his clothes are mere covering.
For years he has been peddling the
large salt pretzels which are strung
on sticks and stand upright from his
basket.
He never tries to force a sale. He
never solicits patronage. He lives in
a little room over a small bakery. He
speaks very little English-and yet In
a large Eastern college there are two
of his sons being educated so that they
will not have to live the life Of drudg.

world-weary little father is paying the

EXCEPT for few local contests in
the RepubIican,primary, there is not
much lively interest in the election,
for all men in the party concede
that Governor Walter E. Edge will
easily win the Senatorial nomination
over George l.. Record and Congress-
man Edward w. Gray. During the
primary campaign the Governor has
unquestionably made votes for him.

ing his campaign principles. Record
and Gray started out with fairly clean
campaigns, but during the last few
weeks they have reduced their cam
paign work to mere personal attacks
upon the Governor. Congressman
Gray has even gone. so ifar as to ques-
ton the Governors patriotism and to
charge him with part of the response

ing until such time as they can be
federalized.
Any one at all familiar with what
Governor Edge has been doing as the
war governor OF New Jersey will quick
ly resent the attack OF Gray AS entire
ly without foundation and positively
unjust and vicious. The governor has
worked day and night in cooperation
with the military authorities, and he
has many credentials from Washing
ton showing the approval there of his
whole-hearted support VI the govern
ment's war program. Gray's charges
that the Governor has not discharged
his full patriotic duty are all prattle,
and instead OF making votes for Gray
the attacks will make votes for the
Governor at the primary.

TOOK TIME TO GREET BAsY
President Wilson Not Too F,s-v to
Welcome Youthful Caller at e..
White House.

President Wilson laid aside grave
war problems for a brief half hour
the other day to shake hands and chat
with the youngest visitor ever received
by him at the White house, says the
Washington Times.
Usher Hoover announced to the
President In his library that Mrs. Will
son would like him to go down to the
Blue room to see young man she was
greatly interested in.
On reaching the parlor the president
was presented to little Gordon Gray
son, the ten-week-old son of Admiral
and Mrs. Cary Grayson.
'What a fine little fellow" said the
president as he reached for the tiny
hand and shook It heartily.
Baby Grayson, although only ten
weeks old, seemed to realize the honor
Of being the youngest visitor of Presi-
dent Wilson. He didn't cry once. Just
smiled and cooed, which is considered
very good form for baby on a first
yisit. The baby had no official bust
less with the president. just wanted
% let him see how cute he looked in
his new dress, and how much he had

Exposition In 1926.

Plans are under way for holding, In
Philadelphia, In 1925. an international
exposition to be designated as the ses-
quicentennial exposition. Sesqui Is a
Latin word meaning one-half more or
one and half times as much. AS CEN
tennial means hundred years, sesqui-
centennial means a hundred and fifty,
as 1926 will be. counting from 1776.
The word is an expressive coinage but
rather hard for the American tongue
to get around. 1t is pronounced ses-
xvi.

Gas Well Finally nrarn.d. !.

Out In the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT wastes
Of eastern Washington there has just
been tanned a big gas well. and devei
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 four-inch pipe blown out of the
ground. A year later passerby threw
a lighted match into the gas and for
IL months the well burned day and
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 sunk
into the gas reservoir.

THERE is one point that should inn
press itself on all who are in any way
connected with filling out and receiv-
ing questionaires in the present draft.
and that Is that absolute.secrecy should
be maintained in every case. Unin-
tentionaily. possibly, facts which
should never have been made public,
have leaked out. A man has claimed
exemption, and in some manner it has
become known that his claim was
made, We will assume, on the ground
that he was farmer, and it was soon
publicly known on what ground eA-
emption was asked, how many men
men were employed on the farm, how
much the crops were worth, and many
other little details. This is all wrong
The information lodged with the ex-
aiming boards is presumed to be
strictly private, and each man, either
in an advisory or legal capacity,
should SO consider the matters entrust-
ed to his confidence.
