"SMILEAGE" BOOKS.
War Adds Another New-Coined Word to
Country's Vocabulary.

The war, which has brought out many
new names and phrases, such as ''camou
lage," 'over the top" and others, has
added another new -coined word to the
lists. 1t is 'smileage." Early in the mo.
bilization of the American army it was
realized by the war department officers
that entertainment of a high character
would have to be supplied the men in
camp. The vigorous routine of training,
the sudden change from home life to can
Torment made it necessary to give the
men in training relaxation from camp
duties
The plan of supplying entertainment
has been worked out and systematized
under the military entertainment coun-
ell, appointed by the secretary Of war,
which is now offering TO the public what
are called "smileage books These books,
like mileage books, contain coupons. The
coupons are good for the admission of
any soldier or friends accompanying him
to the shows" that are to be put on in
the is army cantonments and National
Guard camps.
The books, countersigned by the secre-
tary of war. will sell at 100 and $500.
the dollar kind containing 20 fve-cent
coupons and the five-dollsr variety con
tanning 100 coupons. Relatives and
friends OF the soldiers and the public
generally will buy the "smileage books
and send them either to the soldiers by
name or TO the camps for general distri-
button. and the soldiers will tear ont the
coupons and see the shows for nothing
The government has already built 10

sented. Performances also viii be given

Picric Acid Set OFF.

Mont Blame blew up simultaneously, IL
the opinion of Willard Cope. an explo
sives expert from the United States who

limo in this harbor Dec. q.
The cargo consisted of 100000 pounds
of trinitrotoluol, 1900 tons of picric acid
and quantity Of gun cotton and benzol.

any disaster where so much explosive

of the kind that he recalled was the de-
struction of the steamer Alum Chine,
which carried 100000 pounds Of dyna-
mite. The explosion at Black Tom
island, New York, where trinitrotouol
and picric acid on lighters and in cars
blew up, was next in line, he said.

SUSPEND TRAINS FROM
NEW YORK TO WEST
Impossible to Operate Out of Philadel-
phia--Anthracite Freight Service
Stopped by Storm.

Philadelphia, Jan. 29.-Early in tn,
day Pennsylvania officials decided to take
no chances and several trains between
New York and Philadelphia were can
celed. Frozen switches and low hanging
steam and smoke made traffic conditions
dangerous, and signals could not be OBJ
served, At noon the officials announced
that all passenger service from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington to the West was suspended until
further notice.
Ii was impossible to operate out OF
the terminus at Broad street station
here, as the company could not obtain
enough workmen to relieve the frozen
switches.
Freight service in the anthracite re-
gions has been entirely stopped by the
storm.

TAKE OVER RUSSIAN RIFLES.
United States Enters Agreement with
Two American Firms.

Washington, Jan. 29-Rfes ordered
by the Russian government from the
Remington Arms Union Metallic com.
pany at Bridgeport, Conn, and the West
inghouse company at Springfield, Mass
will be taken over by the government
More than half million rifles differing
only in bore from the Americanized En-
field, are involved.
The desire of the war department to
hold together the trained workmen in the
two plants while these factories are be-
ing reorgani5ed to manufacture machine
guns, is the principal reason for the ac-
ton.
After a series of conferences in which
the Russian embassy was represented, it
was decided that the department would,
III effect, take over the contracts, reim-
bursting the manufacturers in manner
which will permit gradual reduction
through the next months of the force en-
gagged on rife contracts. II is understood
the Russian embassy requested and OBJ
tanned an option on the rifles in the hope
OF eventually being able to take them
over.

When Painting Your Car.

A writer says in the January Farm
and Preside, the national farm paper
now being published monthly instead OF
twice a month:
ANY mechanical troubles that the car
has may conveniently be attended TO dur
ing the painting process. In fact, the
body may be removed and the engine and
other parts overhauled while the body is
being painted if room permits. Any
dents or cracked places in the tenders or
body should be repaired. Frequently a
weak fender can be strengthened by APP
plying plate to the under side and riv-
citing through in a neat way. If the
tenders are badly damaged il would be
more satisfactory to replace them. The
under side of the tenders should be paint
cd, as the rust attacks that part first
and soon weakens them"

Washington, Jan. 29.-That a fresh an

This thought was strengthened by the
fact that several infantrymen the past

ed Sin action while Ma Gen. Leonard
Wood has been hurt by an accidental ex-
plosion in France.
News of the wounding of Wood, for
mer chief of staff, but now commander of
Camp Funston, Kan, was included in a
despatch from American headquarters,
telling that two of his staff Lieut.. Col
Kilbourne and Maj. Joyce, and five
French soldiers had been killed. Another
despatch from Gen. Pershing related that
five infantrymen had been hurt in action.
Where or how either of these incidents
occurred was not revealed.
Wood, like other general officers, has
been having a chance to see the Ameri
can training at close range in France, but
the accident may have occurred at a
point on the allied battle line.
The casualties of the past week midi
cate that portion OF the American
forces may be finishing their training by
having front line experience. Pershing
has not illuminated his casualty reports
but it is likely the cases resulted from
patrol clashes or small trench raids.
