of the McKeesport plant of the Nationa
Tube Works, spent last week in Shep
herdstown and vicinity, having come
here to spend weeks vacation and t
place his daughter, Miss Serena, in St
Hilda's Hall at Charles Town. We were
glad to have call from Mr.. Pendleton
who is among the Shepherdstown boy:
who has made good in the bushes:
world. Of course during these siren
uous times the great plant under hi:
care is busy day and night, and large
part of its products is war material. A
the present time il is manufacturing
the castings for new and deadly gas
bomb. These shells are made by the
McKeesport plant and shipped to Nj
agara Falls, where they are charged
with a recently invented poison gas
which, il is believed, will account for 6
good many Huns. These bombs are
thrown from guns with range OF 2.
900 yards, and they are set to explode
in the trenches or among moving troops
One good sniff, and the rascally Ger.
man turns up his toes. The Germans
were the first to put in operation the
fiendish device Of poison gas, but they
will now get bitter dose Of their own
medicine. Mr. Pendleton drove in from
MrKeesport in his car, and he says that
the trip at this season of the year is
ideal.
Mr.. Henry c. Marten has returned
from very pleasant western trip, hav-
ing attended the Confederate reunion

says that there were $4,000 visitors in
that hustling and up-to-date city, a
large number of Confederate veterans
being among the number, though each
year the line grows thinner and thin
ner. Mr.. Marten was surprised and
pleased to be greeted in Tulsa by VIM. J.
| Fraley, former resident of this vicinity
who now lives there. Mr.. Fraley, who

opportunity to observe.
Miss Katherine Cowsill, who has been
the efficient teacher Of domestic science
at Shepherd College for several years
past, has resigned this position and re-

county, Md, and as this has the further
advantage of enabling her to spend a
considerable part of her time at home,
she concluded to make the change. She
will be greatly missed from the school
and from Shepherdstown where she has
been so highly regarded.
