Playing blackboard.

Do you know what blackboard ISL
It's kind of a game first played in
a primitive and mild sort of fashion
by Rocky mountain goats and since
modernized and made difficult by the
American army. The apparatus on
which one plays blackboard is a mixed
breed continuance, by dashboard out
of Corduroy Road, to use the racing
vernacular. 1t is made up of narrow,
slippery strips of rounded wood laid
crosswise about two inches apart, and
Is supposed to keep ones feet out OF
the mud. 1t does! While playing duck
board ones feet are usually in the air.
It is called blackboard, suppose, be-
cause of some silly belief that a duck
could walk it without falling. Even
airplanes flying at height of less
than 5000 feet have been seen to wig
gle and dip drunkenly while passing
above trench lines f1oored with duck
boards. And when it is laid upon the

DUBLIN B00TBLACKS IN 1880
Polish Used at That Time Was Com.
bination Of Lampblack and
Rotten Eggs.

Among the populace of Dublin In
1850 the shoeblacks were numerous
and formidable body. The polish they
used was lampblack and eggs, for
which they purchased all that were
rotten in the markets. Their imple-
ments consisted Of three-legged stool,
a basket containing a blunt knife,
called a spudd, a painters brush and
an old wig.
A gentleman usually went out in the
morning with dirty boots or shoes,
sure to find a shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner of the street. The
gentleman put his foot in the lap of
the shoeblack without ceremony, and
the artist scraped it with his spudd,
wiped it with his wig and then laid on
his composition as thick as black paint
with his painters brush.
The stuff dried with a rich polish, re-
curing no friction, and little inferior
to the elaborated modern fluids, save
only the intolerable odors exhaled from
eggs in a high state of putridity, and
which filed any house which was en-
tered before the composition was quite
dry, and sometimes even tainted the
air of fashionable drawing rooms.-

AMERICAN DYES

The great crowds that gathered to
witness the victories of the American
chemists had the satisfaction to behold
the dye manufacturing processes in
operation; and color for color, it was
demonstrated that the home dyes ex-
posed TO sunlight and weather, are in
every way equal to the foreign equiva-
lent. 1t is an interesting coincident
that the same great firm of Du Pont
that has shot our enemies full of holes
in wartime has been the leader in per-
fecting on a big scale the dye-making
industry, which is to continue to shoot
into Germany long
years after the struggles of battles are
over 1t is an interesting coincident
that Germany's dyestuff industry was
to be thing to bargain with for inter-
national commercial advantages, and
it was to be an earnest that the world
once more at peace must early re-
sumo business relations with her
Further, it was source of large in
come and source of still larger pres
tige. The duplication of this industry
in America must prove very disquiet-
ing TO the people over the Rhine.

A MERCHANTS OPINIONS

Edward A. Filene, of Boston, is con-
sidered one of the leading merchants
of the country, and a statement made
by him before the Senate committee,
considering the subject of the mini
mum wage. is rather refreshing, mas
much as it differs materially from the
stereotyped opinions of many leaders
in mercantile pursuits. 1.-The fact that
the average thing doubles in price be-
fore it reaches the hands of the con-
sumner is a shame, to a degree, and
those of us who give our lives TO IT
ought TO be making better progress
with the remedies" observed Mr.. FL
lene, who went on to say that unless
the merchants themselves accomplish
a greater degree of progress, the d.
rice. distribution from producer TO
consumer will come" through the
parcel post, etc. Mr.. Filene says that
the source of the power of the mer-
chant rests with his employees.

With Justice John N. Potee, as cor
oner, jury Of inquest was summoned
at Brooklyn Monday afternoon in the
case Of William Smith, Jr., charged
with the killing of his father, at the
farm of Frank Revell, near Marley
Creek. The jury declared that the
elder Smith came to his death from
wounds caused by a gun fired by his
son. The latter claims that he went
to the help of his sister, who was at
tackled by the father, who had the gun
and that in the scuffle, he was ac-
cidentally shot. Some of the facts in
dictate different theory of the kill
ing and Smith was committed to jail,

WORD HAS VARIED MEANING
Term Garden" as Used Today, Capa.
bic of Some Of the Most Elastic
Definitions.

We speak so freely and often Of a
garden" assuming that there is some
well-defined common use of that word
even among the authorities on garden
ing subjects. But the fact is that it
has reached mighty elastic limits in
their writings and speech and can be
taken to mean anything from the enor-
nous private parks and estates TO the
tin can glOries of back yard.
The word garden is from the old
Anglo-Saxon root. "gyrden," meaning
an Enclosure. AT that time. due to the
uncertain character of community life,
it was either inclosed within fortifica-
tionsSor left unprotected and exposed
without. This private inelosed land
was the garden of that time. That is
the meaning of garden in the Song Of
Solomon.
Gradually the sense of the word has
changed to cover those parts of the
land devoted to the cultivation of
plants either for pleasure or for use;
thus, we have the vegetable or fruit
garden, and on the other hand, the
wall, water or rose garden, etc.
Liberty Hyde Bailey defines a gar
den as ''the personal part of an estate,
that area which is most intimately as
ISOLATED with the private life of the
home"
Whatever the sense in which it is
used, the word garden" always sue
ceeds in carrying with it an atmos-
phere of romance and beauty, which
countless ages of use cannot dim

dearth of footgear, a German army
authority recommends the Introduction
of linden bark moccasins such as are
worn by the Russian peasantry. Made
from the bark of young twigs, these
shoes are said to stand two years
wear; yet they are light and easy
and can be made to fit well. The lin

would supply sufficient bark to make

them would furnish excellent light oc-

SPEEDING UP TRAINING

one of the moves of the War Depart
ment to. speed up the enlarged war
program and overcome delays result
ing from interference with draft calls

If the peace talk has had any effect
at the War Department, it apparently
has spurred everybody to further ex-
ertions to swell the number of troops
going to France. The October draft
calls, held up because of the influenza
epidemic, are beginning to go out
again, and nothing will be permitted
to interfere with the movement of
soldiers overseas at the rate of 250,-
