With the American Army in
France, Wednesday, April TO-
(By Associated Press) - The
Germans attempted an attack
against the American positions
northwest of Toul just before
sunrise this morning and were
completely repulsed. Two Ger
man prisoners said the enemy
planned the attack with a force
Of 800 men, but that it was stop
ped in it's full strength by the
effective fire of the American ar.
tillery. The Americans lose no
prisoners. One Of the German
prisoners died later of wounds. .;
The attack was the heaviest
yet made on an American force.

ners dispersed the German in

lery replied vigorously, the men
in some batteries working with
their gas masks on for two or
three hours at stretch. -.
At about 5 o'clock this morn
ling German infantry in the front
line signaled their batteries for a
barrage and started, for the
American line. The Americans
laid counter barrage almost i'm.

cially trained for this work were
selected from three Of the best
regiments in the force. 4
GUNNERs DO GOOD WORK
A terrific fire against. the ad-

the American batteries. The Ger

casualties as several bodies were
seen hanging across the barbed

has always been a contest Of wits and

combat the horrors Of chlorine: sound
detectors and nets to protect ships
from submarines, and so on down the
years Of military history, each new
wea pom has brought forth another TO

Tho First Bath Tub-Adam Thomp-
son, of Cincinnati, was the first man in
the United States to use a bathtub.
This was December 20, 1912.
The installment Of the bathtub in
Mr.. Thompson's home, and the act
ual use Of 1t for winter bathing, caused
widespread publicity. and the news
papers devoted their columns to vio-
lent discussions OF it.
Certain patriots stated that this
type of bathtub was a degenerate lux
ury. designed to corrupt the democrat
ic simplicity Of the republic. The
medical fraternity denounced 1t as
dangerous to health, and bound to re-
suit in phthsic, rheumatic fevCrs, infi-
animation Of the lungs, and the whole
category Of zymotic diseases.
Legislation reflected the public feel
ing.
President Millard Fillmore installed
the first bathtub il the White House in
1851.
This act broke down practically all
prejudice, with the result that b. 1860,
every hotel in New York had one bath
tub, and some had two and even three.

THE FIRST OZARK HORSE
How the Familiar Term Came Into
American PoIities


American Politics.
The dark horse" in politics Is the
successor OF a genuine dark horse that
won q race in which he was supposed
to have no chance for victory. In
early days In Tennessee. there was an
old man named Sam Flynn. a very
good Judge Of horsGfiesh. who usually
owned an animal that could show a bit
ofspeed. At one time Mr.. Flynn poss-
essed big black horse named Dusky
Pete, thoroughbred and very fast L,
was Flynn's practice to 60 T. a neigh
borhood where he was not known, ride
Dusky Pete into town as IL he were an
ordinary mount and enter him in one
Of the races thatwcre the daily sports
Of the frontier communities. Dusky
Pete always won.
Flynn arrived at one town just be-
fore big race and entered his horse
Us usual. There were several local IA
vorites in the contest and Mr.. Flynn
had no trouble in betting all his money
on his own horse at long odds. Just
before the race Jude McMinamee, a
turf follower. arrived and was per-
suaded to act as judge of the contest
Some of the horsemen described the
various entries and laughingly pointed
out the foolish stranger who had bet
all his money on his old nag. Jude
McMinamee at once recognized Dusky
Pete and his owner and remarked.
Gentlemen, there's a dark horse in
this race that will make some of you
sick before night"
Judge McMinamee's prediction was
fulfilled and dark horse" as byword
has found permanent place in the
parlance Of American politics.-Peo-

Pie-Pie has become pretty much a
factory product.
Pie bakers say that throughout the
United States on broad average there
are about 5000 pies consumed per day
to every 100000 population.
Pie filling Is often times q separate
industry from pie baking
The"goo" for instance, for lemon
pies is made and sold by the barrel.
1t is good deal like the banquet
cocktail which is made by the barrel
like the old rhyme about Lemonade
made in the shade and stirred with a
spade"
Here, by the way, Is one Of the
weaknesses Of our pure food laws
which require that these barrels of le-
mon pie goo" be entered under the
pure food and drug act and shall be
labeled as to the percentage Of benzo-
ate of soda they contain. but this in
formation does not do the pie partaker
any particular good for he does not
come in contact with the barrel and
perhaps does not know that the fill-
ing is made up much in the same vol
ume as brick or stone mason's mortar.
The same Is true with soda water
syrups, which all become very much Of
a manufacturing proposition. All are
legally labeled. but the man who par
takes at the soda water counter does
not see these labels.

Of the war.
Some days ago n large carrier pig
con hovered and circled over the

the possibility Of the pigeon being

The precious information was trans
