 Wild on Highways
 T am on my way over to Carrollton, Ga, to deliver an illustrated lecture on the advantages of brick roads," sad John Sibley. T go at the invitation of the mayor and other public bodies, as the hustling little city has decided to do lot of paving. I had no idea how interesting a talk could be made on bricks until I began to study up on the question in order to be able to get them used in big way. Some of the pictures are really wonderful. Florida has gone wild on building brick highways. While it is a commercial proposition. I feel that I am doing real missionary work when I get city to lay brick paving ways"

Birminshnm,s Intense Patr,otism

The people of this country are dis playing the highest quality of patriot ism and in every city where my busi- ness has taken me, I find patriotic or ganizations are doing earnest and ef- fective work" said R. NJ Ashton of Chicago. member of a large manufac- turing firm. But I believe Birming ham takes the lead in intensified com munity feeling that the war must be. and will be, won for the cause of lib- erty.
 Everybody here seems to be enlisted whole-heartedly for patriotic service. The masses needed to be aroused to the importance not only of unity of purpose but unity of action They are becoming fully aroused now and 1t Is the result of work done by civic societies in which patriotism is the dominant motive and in which all the people are ready to cooperate"

rIOIu lHe Literary DlSSSl.
 6T1HE civil war in America effected II many social changes, but none
 @ more drastic, thinks the Boston Herald. than those connected with the observance of Sunday. The Sunday
 newspaper, it points out, came in at
 that time. for people were anxious for
 news from the battlefronts. Some of the biggest battles. like Shiloh, were fought on Sunday. The infusion of new racial strains too, during that period
 brought along with 1t views of Sunday observance quite different from the old Puritan habit, and when the war was over it was found that Sunday as an institution was quite different thing from what it had been before. The Herald looks forward to even greater
 result of the present war:
 We have in this state legalized gar dening on Sunday, an action of the
 lawmakers which has already had q profound influence on the public sen timent and popular practice. It seems uttllhcly tAdt WACu lue war eHQS IncIG vii! be any return to the Sunday clo- ture on gardening operations--unless rerchance, they come under the sway of the labor union.

 an impressive funeral at the expense of the English government On the
 morning of the interment light snow had fallen. The 45o0 men in camp were lined up in columns of four in front of
 their barracks. The German soldiers and officers had donned parade uniform and poor John Bowditch's body in a fine coffin of polished oak, on a hearse drawn by two black horses, was driven into the camp to where the German commandant with his officers stood in all their glory. Beside them stood the
 doctor who had murdered this English man All of them. with their heels to- gether and their hands raised to the salute in ostentatious homage to death as the hearse was driven by! Then in

 "One of the most pitiful cases.'' said Professor .Delmer, was that of John Bowditch" I compress his statement. He was just able to give his wife's name and address, as he was nearly dead with pneumonia. His food, little
 black bread of the coarsest description. and cup of black coffee. lay untouched beside him. He had no attendance (there were neither medicines or medi- cal appliances nor nurses) except that of the other sick men in the badly crowded ward, for whom, in spite of
 their kindness. he was. especially in the
 night. a great trial. Professor Delmer
 spoke to Dr. Reich about him and
 asked that he be cared for at the ex-
 perse of the English government. "Who the devil are your" he demanded with
 a scowl. He told him. We have no hos
 pital beds and no ambulances to spare l for such cases, and what's more I'll
 thank you in future to mind your own

COMMANDER SAVED HIS SHIP
Walter N. Vernon Given Credit by
Vice-AdmiraI Sims for Quick Ac-
tlon In Emergency.

To Commander Walter N. Vernon,
Vice-Admiral Sims has given special
credit for his vigilance and prompt
action, which probably saved from
total loss the destroyer Cassin, which
was attacked by a submarine while on
patrol duty in foreign waters. The
sub was sighted five miles away by the
CaSSin. Her men took. their battle
stations and the American ship made
head-on for the enemy. After
search for the craft she began zig
tagging back and forth when Com
mander Vernon sighted a torpedo
headed for his vessel to strike amid
ships. He at once put full speed on
both engines and cleared the torpedo's
course. However, it preached on the
surface and struck the Cassin on the
stern. Only one engine was disabled,
leaving the Cassin power to get under
way. Circling the spot where the tor
pedo had been seen, the officer finally
got a glimpse of a coming tower long
enough to fire four shots. The sub
then submerged and was not seen
again. The Cassin proceeded to safety
under the steam of her one engine.
Commander Vernon is a native of Kan
sas and was appointed to the naval
academy from Michigan In 1897.
