PROTEST OVER THE
Do POINT TROPHY RACE
Objection Made to the Pickaninny
Claiming it for the En-
suing Year.

The victory of the PickanInny last
Saturday in the du Pont trophy race, over
a field including = number OF the fastest
boats on the Delaware river, has been the
loading topic for discussion among motor
boatmcn, and has led To number OF I'M
expected consequences during the past
week
The chief of these is the formulation OF
q protest against the Pickaninnys assum-
+ ing possession of the trophy for the next
year. The grounds Of the protest have
not been completely revealed:
The protest is being formally made by
Bruno Arishoff, who OWNS Dora III, of the
Riverside Yacht Club, the boat which
finished second to the Fickaninny last
SATURDAY week and went down to defeat
by margin of just 3 minutes 40 seconds.
in corrected time. for the course Of 81
nautical miles.
The complete grounds. Ms set forth in
the protest will not be known until late
this week, after the meeting of the special
committee of the Riverside Yacht Club
appointed to consider it. The Dora III was
the winner OF the du Pont trophy last
wear, and consequently this years race
WIS held under the auspices OF the River
side Yacht Club over the down-rivcr
course.
Another consequence of the du Pont
rAre result, II il believed, is the rcsigna-
ton of Commodore LOUIS J. Sommer, Jr.,
Of the Riverside Yacht Club. This action
WIS announced at the special meeting Of
the club at Essington last Thursday
Commodore Sommer has just led the club
through rather successful wartime
season.

Saccharin Not Injurious.

Some quite unfounded statements have been made to the effect that sac char;n disturbs the digestion, injures the kidneys, or is even responsible for gastric carcinoma. There is no evi- dence that saccharin or it's allies has any effect whatever on the economy even when it is used in quantities larger than are required to sweeten foods and beverages to suit ordinary tastes. And this, in spite of the fact that saccharin has been in use for more than a quarter of a century.
 The mere fact that it is an artificial substance remotely derived from coai- tar does not necessarily render it poi sonous, as some seem to suspect. At the same time it is, of course, value less as food in the sense in which sugar is food, and even as flavor It to most tastes is inferior to the natural substance.-British Medical Journal.

Wrist Watches Afloat.

Wrist watches at sea, with their luminous dials, are at once convent ence, a safeguard and peril. YOuscan tell the time without tearing your clothes to pieces CT going to light. When you walk along the deck at night you can hold your forearm so that the dial glows in the sight of all who are passing along the deck and thus pre- vent collisions. If you don't play up your wrist watch, you are supposed to whistle sweet and low" in the dark as you pass along. But if you are not passing along the deck, only lingering along the deck rail. and are fortunate in having one of the few women who are crossing as your companion in that lingering, your ius:iinous dial at rest on the deck rail is apt to wreck the wonderful sense of seclusion that dark ened decks give these war times. One heartless patrol trip or two ago step- ped to the rail and asked dismayed subaltern not to have his wrist watch quite so far around" whatever that meant, because it might be detected by a administration Collins in the Century Magazine.

"The Fool Hath Said"

This is a message from one who knows-Coningsby Dawson-to those who do not realize. It is a message direct from the trenches in France by &ssoldier and writer to US behind the Mes. He says:
 Life has swung back to a primitive decision since the war commenced. The decision is the same for both men and nations. They can choose the world or achieve their own souls. They can cast mercenary lots for the raiment of a crucified righteousness or take up their martyrdom as disciples. Those men and nations who have been disciples together can scarcely fail to remain friends when the tragedy is ended. What the fool says in his heart at this present moment is not of any lasting importance."-Red Cross Magazine.

ITALY HAD FIRST PAWNsH0P
ally Spread Over the Rest of the Civilized World.

The French call them monts-de-piete, but no satisfactory explanation for this nomenclature is forthcoming. The es- tablishment of municipal pawnshops in France was attended with more diff culty than was the case in other coun- tries.
 It is from Italy that the idea of mu- nicipal pawnshops spread over the rest of Europe. A municipal pawnshop was set up in Madrid in the year 1705, when a priest with very little capital opened up as an uncle" The system was tried at Avignon in 1577, but it was not until the year TIT that Paris itself was provided with a mont-de< piete. The national assembly upset the monopoly and the business passed into private hands. The eXtortiOns of the pawnbrokers in time led. however, to a demand for the re-establishment of the governmental institutions. In 1906 Napoleon re-established the monopoly, regulating it by laws that are still in force. The interest charged amounts to about per cent,
 In Paris the mont-de-piete is in effect a department of the administration, but in the provinces it is municipal monopoly.

SOLDIERS LIKED WAR BREAD
British Fighting Men Found Their Health Improved Through Use of
 UnboIted Wheat Meal.

A little more than a century ago, years against Napoleon, food became very scarce. Following is from book on bread-making, written by Sylvester Graham, in 1887:
 "In order to conserve wheat as much as possible, the British government or dered that the army should be supplied with bread made from unbolted wheat meal, i. e., simply the wheat ground without having the bran or middlings removed. The soldiers were at first displeased with the bread and refused to eat 1t, even casting it from them in great rage, but after two or three weeks they began to be much pleased with it and preferred it to the fine flour bread.
 'The result of this experiment was that not only was the wheat msde to go further, but the health of the sol diers improved so much and so mani festly in the course of few months that 1t became matter of common re- mark among themselves and of obser- vation and surprise among the officers and physicians of the army. They ex- pressed themselves with confidence and zeal on the subject. The public declared that the soldiers were never so healthy and robust. The public pa .pers were for months filled with praise of whole-wheat bread, and it was reg ularly introduced into families.
 "aStill, after this experiment with such happy results and so general and full a testimony had been given in ia or of the coarse-wheat bread, when large supplies of stperfine flour came in from America and the crops from home became again abundant and the act of parliament regarding the foool of the army became extinct, most o1 the people by degrees returned totRelr old habits of eating fine bread"

SURGEONS DO GREAT WORK
Rehabilitation of Wounded Soldiers Seems Little Short of Miraculous
 to a Civilian.

Foster Debevoise of South Orleans, N. J., on recent tour through France and England, visited the armies at the front, and speaks with enthusiasm of their indomitable spirit and unfailing hopefulness.
 In commenting he speaks on the work done for wounded soldiers:
 ssThe men in English cities, of whom I saw hundreds, without legs or arms, or with reconstructed faces, and those in hospitals in process of being mend ed, all had the same words: If only I could go back again r And this brings me to another wonderful thing, and that is the way the hospitals are performing miracles. When finally, sometimes after months and months of treatment, the reconstructing process is finished, the men are taught trades and placed in positions so that they are enabled to take up their lives again with large degree of happiness. Straps operate as muscles on artificial legs and arms; and have seen such men swing hammer, play golf, knit, or work at lathes. It is almost incred- ible what is being done. Hats oil 10 the doctors, I say!"
 The United States government will apply the same methods of recon struction to those of our boys that are disabled or crippled Marion Couth- euy Smith.
