A Norwalk citizen took us severely
to task the other day for daring to
criticise certain village proceedings
and for a time there was fire enough

Had such explosion taken place we

MEAT SUPPLY FOR THE ARMY
Packers to Furnish 9e,560,o00 Pounds
of Bacon and 134,000,00o Pounds
of Canned Goods

Chicago, July 23.-The largest single
order for bacon and canned meats in
the history of the world-99, $4,000
pounds of bacon and 100000 pounds
of canned meat-has just been placed
by the quartermaster's department, q.
S. A., for the American army overseas
Louis F. Swift, in commenting on
this. said the order will take the bacon
from approximately 100000 hogs and
if other work were dropped to produce
it, would be equivalent to the total ba-
con production of the five largest Chi
cago packers for nearly five weeks.
However, six months will elapse before
delivery is to be completed.
Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $8O,OO0,OOO for
the necessary hogs and over $5O,OOO,-
600 for about 100000 cattle required"

GERMAN SUBMARINE
SHELLS u. S. COAST
Tuu and Its Tow Are Attacked Off
Cape Cod-Thousands See One
Sided Battle.

Orleans, Mass, July 22.-An enemy
submarine attacking tug and it's tow
off the easternmost point of Cape Cod
sank three barges, set fourth and
their tug on fire and dropped four
shells on the mainland. The action
lasted an hour and was unchallenged
except by two hydroplanes from the
Chatham aviation station, which cir
cled over the U-boat, causing her to
submerge for only a moment to re-
appear and resume firing.
The crews of the tow, numbering Al,
and including three women and five
children, escaped amid the shell fire in
lifeboats. Several were wounded.
John Botovich, an Austrian, Of the
crew Of the tug, was the only one seri-
ously hurt. His right arm near the
shoulder was torn away by fragment
of shell. The minor injuries of the
others were from shell splinters.
The attack was without warning and
only the poor craftsmanship Of the
German gunners permitted the escape
Of the crews.

ONE OF WORLDS cURIOSITlES
Fir Tree in Belgium Has Characters
tics Unlike Any OF Its Kind So
Far as Known.

What Is claimed to be one Of the
most curious trees in the world was
found in Belgium by NJ. Louis Pire,
president of the Royal Botanical So
ciety of Belgium. 1t is fir tree, still
standing at last account, in the forests
Of Aliaz, Canton Of Vaud.
"TEis particular tree" reports Pro-
lessor Pire, Stands $500 feet above
the sea and is surrounded by forest
Of frs, which it exceeds in height by
20 to 40 feet.
'The trunk Of this tree is ten me-
tiers, or a little more than thirty feet,
in circumference at the base. At about
a yard from the ground it puts out
on the south side, seven offshoOts.
which have grown into trunks as strong
and vigorous as those Of the other
trees in the forest. Bent and gnarled
at the bottom, these side-trunks soon
straishten themselves up and rise per-
pendicuiarly and parallel to the main
stem.
Another most curious fact is that
the two largest sk1e-trunks are con-
nected with the principal stem by SUBJ
quadrangular braces resembling grid
ers. These beams have probably been
formed by an anastomosing Of
branches, which, common enough
among the angio-sperms, Is extremely
rare among cOnifers."

HAS HIS OWN MESS
Marine Fireman Also Has High Pay
ard Reasonable Hours.

How does a marine fireman live
aboard ship?
That question is asked as to the
merchant marine, which Is now en-
rolling thousands of young men for
seryice on the new cargo fleets OF
Uncle Sam. :
There was once an accepted idea
that the fireman was the lowest type
of marine worker, and the worst treat
ed. Modern conditions have exploded
that idea.
A modern fireman has good job
for these reasons: He has good quar-
ters-the law looks out for that. and
the builders of ships nowadays see
that the law is observed.
The modern fireman has good fare.
His food is rich, by comparison with
the 'salt horse" fare Of his seafar1ng
granddsddies. On modern ships re-
frigerating plants make possible the
serving of fresh meat and vegetables
throughout voyage.
The modern fireman has his own
mess-in other words, his private dim
ing room aboard ship. Special mess
boys are assigned to act as walters
for the fireman's mess.
The modern fireman has facilities
for bathing.
The modern fireman'S hours of labor
are regulated, and are moderate. He
is paid for overtime work. His regu'
lar paw is high-$75 a month, with gu
per cent added if he goes into the
European war-zone waters. AS he Is
given his board and lodging free, ne
can save money.

TURKEY PROMISES TO ACT
Says 1t Will Do Its Full Duty Con
corning Alleged Looting of
Tabriz Consulate.

Washington, July 24.-The Turkish
government will do it's full duty when
the facts in connection with the seizure
of the American consulate at Tabriz
and the footing of the American mis-
sionary hospital there by Turkish
forces are established. The state de-
partment was so advised by the Swed-
ish government, through which it de-
manded an explanation from Turkey.
The Ottoman government said it still
was investigating, but that the remote
ness of and the poor communication
with Tabriz made it difficult to get at
the facts.

The iridescence of nacre, or mother
of-pearl, is matter of form and not
actual color. In fact, all "changeable"
colors are more or less the result Of
form even where there is fermentation
beneath, such as in certain ribbed silks.
When sunlight bears directly upon
finely ribbed metal. as a file, there is
the same play of colors.
In the case of mother-of-pearl an In
teresting. experiment has been made.
An impression of the pearl was TAX
en- upon pure white wax. 1t was then
found that the apparently smooth sur
face of the pearl had still sufficient
Irregularities to impress upon the wax
a surface that resulted in similar color

Ben FrankIin's Simple Diet.

1t is amusing to read how Ben
Franklin thrived on a biscuit, or q
slice Of bread, handful of raisins, or
tart from the pastry cook and a
glass of water, varied at times by
boiled rice or potato, or hasty pud-
ding of his own making. Upon this
fare grew Americas greatest states
man and the worlds greatest philoso-
pher. The rich and ambitious youth
Of these days would scorn such diet,
holding that it was the eating that
made the man. But Benjamin not
only saved time and money by his new
diet, but as he says: Il made greater
progress from that greater clearness
Of head and quicker apprehension
which generally attended temperance
in eating and drinking" This abstemi-
GUS life did not seem to detract from
his health, but rather contributed to his
longevity, for he lived to be eighty
four years old

ASKS FOR GREAT GRAIN CROP
Department of Agriculture Requests
Farmers to Sow 47,500,oo0
Acres in Wheat

Washington, July 22.-The depart
mont of agriculture it was announced
has asked farmers to sow 47,5OO,OOO
acres in winter wheat this fall This
would yield approximately 667,O0O,OOO
hushels-the greatest winter wheat
crop in history. While the request
specifically mentions 100000 acres
as the area to be sowed. it asks farm
ers if they cannot raise the total to
47.5OOOO0 acres. The latter acreage
would be a II per cent increase over
last wear, and would provide abundant
.Iv for the needs of the Authorizations.
