Today We Celebrate
Anniversary of Thomas j.. ROdman,
Inventor of First Big Guns.

Anniversary of Thomas j. ROdman,
Inventor of First Big Guns.
Today is the 103rd anniversary of
the birth of Thomas Jefferson Rod
man, the American inventor and ord
nance expert who initiated the move
ment for big guns which has
ated in the giant gun now in use in
Europe. Rodman was a Hoosier by
birth, Salem, Ind, having been his
, native town.. He entered West POINT
from which institution he was gradu-
ated in 1871 and then entered the ord
nance department of the United
States army. He early devoted him
self to experiments with guns and gun
powder.
Rodman's greatest triumph was the
invention of a method of casting guns
hollow and cooling them from the in
side, which worked a revolution In the
making of artillery. The long and
earnest study devoted to the proper
ties and manipulations of cast iron,
then REGARDED as best Tor the large
castings required for heavy ordnance
by Rodman and other ordnance ofii-
GERS, enabled the United States to ere
ate a system of heavy guns then ad-
! mittedly the best in the world. The
! Rodman process of hollow casting and
interior cooling marked a great ad-
vance in artillery construction. In
1860 a cannon weighing t~hirtyrfive
tons, the largest in the world, was east
but the e~xigencies of thc-eTvil War
required larger n better cannon. In
1863 the masterpiece of the system
was cast-a tw~enty-inch smooth bore
Weighing 1880 pounds, or nearly
hfty-eigbt tons, and throwing a solid
shot of 1850 pounds. This great gun
attracted International attention, and
many years passed before it was sur
passed in size and effectiveness.
Rodman also introduced the use OF
mammoth" powder for the 15-inch
smooth bore guns of his invention.
During the Civil War Rodman's guns
were used in the navy as well as IN
! the army, and they wer of great as
istanc in deciding the outcome OF
the great struggle.
During the war period Rodman had
! command of tho WATERFOWL Art@nal,
but in 1866 he went to Rock Island
where he constructed an arsenal On
! Government Island. He was promo
ted to the rank Of observation-disclosures
in 1867, and died at Rock Island, Ill.,
in 1871.

Daily Horoscope

Astrologers read this as on unfav-
orable day, because Saturn, Jupiter,
Venus and Uranus are all adv crse.
During this planetary sway the
mind is likely to be disturbed and
uncertain. It lie a time when sugges-
lions of evil import are readily enter
tanned and for this reason special
care should be taken to combat enc
my propaganda.
Labor is subject to a direction
making for serious Unrest. Riots and
strikes may increase in number, ow-
ing to new turns in world events.
This is held to be a sinister sway
being subject to extraordinary condi-
TONS.
The evil stars that cause persons to
concentrate on selfish aims will be
potent to do mischief during the re-
mainder of the summer Millionaires

except In the cases when they show
patriotism by remarkable service.
Again the seers reiterate that there
will be no medium conditions of mind

This is an especially adverse sway
for love affairs. The influences are
believed to increase susceptibility at

A foreign occultist predicts that IL
complete victory is not attained in
the next twelve months by the allies,
Americans will make a business of
war, going into it so thoroughly and
completely that they will build up
friendly nations even while they are
destroying enemies.
The passage of Mars through Libra
which will continue to have a a
effect upon Austria n Hungary,
may affect China, causing changes,
internal troubles and foreign compli-

Persons whose birthdate it is should.

Pretty Safe Man, Eha

The Italians-infuenced by devn-made rumors-were still re-
treating before their German-Austrians "kamerads."
Then British and French troops poured into Italy, commanded
by Foch.
At once the Italians began to make some sort of a stand.
An Italian boy soldier loaded down with a heavy bag of supplies
was climbing a steep path. No horse or automobile could make it.;
everything must go OF mems backs.
The young Italian was very tired. The load was too much for
him, but he kept plugging ahead.
He heard footsteps. A brisk old man dressed in the horizon
blue of France came up beside him. Z
speaking Italian.
'oui, m'aeu, agreed the son of Italy, speaking French to be
courteous.
"Let me give you a hand said the old French soldier, and he
seized the heavy bag and threw it over his own shoulders, and the
sons Of the two old Latin nations kept climbing. After a time the
man in horizon blue said, "Lets rest a minute and they sat down
beside the path.
Soon some Italian general staff officers appeared-one of them
being on the kings personal staff. Of course the two soldiers by
the roadside came to their feet to salute the high officers.
But the Italian officers stopped. The one who belonged to the
kings personal staff calculated one word:
'tFOCHP'
That's who it was-Foch, "Le Patron, which is French for the
Big Boss.
He had been caught acting like a common human being. But it
didn't feaze him. He didn't forget that he is lie Patron. He saluted
the Italian high officers stifly, threw the bag on his shoulders again,
and with the Italian boy soldier beside him protesting volubly, those
two started up the path again.
Pretty safe sort of a man, Foch, ehf
Pretty good sort to have in charge of our boys who go cover

sons are across the channel fighting the enemy of their country and
ours. Boys from American cities will be entertained in city homes,
farm boys win be invited to spend a few days as the guests of Brit
Ssh farmers.

"The greatest hero of the war, to my mind, writes an Ameri-
can surgeon "over there, :" sis the wonderful stretcher bearer. What
fine. brave lads they are. With never a murmur, they carry, carry,
carry those poor lads who have been hit. They have no protection,
and by necessity they are forced to travel over all shorts of she'll
swept areas bearing their ~haflifeless, breathing burdens"
We over here are prone to look upon war and see the fighter
going over the top, or the soldier repeling attacks of the Huns. We
keep our eyes upon the battle and our ears hear only the bursting of
sheI and the thunder Of the cannon roar. That is war, we think.
But no, that is not all Of war. For here and there in this inferno of
death and destruction are the angels Of mercy, themselves in con-
slant peril, unknown, unhOnored and unsung-the heroic stretcher-
bearers.
