Ruus in France.

In the reign of Louis-Philippe, n
Monsieur Terrat had been charged
with the duty Of fighting bugs in the
barracks of Paris. 1t must be believed
that the result was satisfactory, since
by virtue of an order of the general
inspector contracts were made in 1916
with Monsieur TerTat for the deStruc-
ton of these frightful insects. Mon
sieur Terrat demanded 90 confines fOG
each sleeping room. In case the first
fight with the bugs was not decisive,
and If he should have to begin again
after some years, the second operation
should cost only so centimes a room.
Moreover, in these operations he de-
stroyed the insects in the arms-rack,
guard house, police quarters and
prisons. When he became old Mon
sieur Terrat offered to communicate
the secret to the state for an indem-
nifty But this offer was not accepted.
The secret died with the proprietor.
And that is why the soldiers of today
are yet struggling against the bug

local descriptions of the salient fea-
lures of each county and detailed ac-
counts of their surface and under
ground water resources, including
springs and shallow wells, as well as
the present artesian development
and future prospects. Considerable
space is devoted to discussion OF
the district around Baltimore with
special reference to the artesian pros
poets in the rapidly growing indus
trial development alon gboth shores
OF the Patapsco southeastward as
far as Sparrow Point.
Chapters are devoted to the Water
Resources of Delaware and the Dis
trict of Columbia, and chapter is
also taken up for an account OF pub
lie supplies of Baltimore, Washing
ton. Wilmington. and all OF the
Maryland towns that have public wa
ter systems. The final chapter OF
the report discusses the sanitary and
chemical character of underground
waters.
This report, like all those issued
by the State Geological Survey. is a
great credit to the State and con-
tains a wealth OF information regard
ing the very vital question of obtain
ing pure and adequate water for
both public and domestic supplies. 1t
is virtually a handbook of Maryland,
as we'll as a textbook on surface and
underground waters, that will en-
able the reader to understand the
principles governing underground
supplies. Although but little drill
ing has been done in some sections
of the State, there is scarcely a 10
cality where the interested seeker
after an underground supply cannot
learn in advance the approximate
depth at which an adequate supply
will be struck and the probable char
acter of the water. Residents of the
State can obtain copies by applying

State Geologist. and enclosing 1oc.

$40 NURSES FROM STATE
Maryland Women Between 10 And
3j Asked tn Enroll July %.

Washington, July 14.-Maryland' 5
quota in the United States Students
Nurse Reserve, the enrolment OF
which will begin on July 29, was nx-
ed today at $40 by the woElen's COM
mittee of the Council of National
Defense. which will make the drive
to get $4,000 American women, from
the ages of 10 to 35 to go in train
ing to fill the serious gaps created
among the nurses in the nations hos
pitfalls by the overseas service. Every
intelligent, able-bodied, educated
young woman in the country is urg-
ed to register OH July 20.
The drive to increase the forces in
the American hospitals is made with
the approval of SUPERINTENDENT Cor
gas, of the Army, Surgeon. Rupert
Blue, of the Public Health Service;
the General Medical Board, the Amer
lean Red Cross and the Nursing Com
mittee of the Council of the National
Defense. The responsibility for reg
istering the women will be given to
the State divisions and local units OF
the Woman's Committee of the coun-
Gil.
The quotas for each State may
seem SMALL" it was stated at the
headquarters OF the Woman's Com
mittee, but every intelligent, able
bodied, educated young woman in
the country is to be urged to register
in order that there may be no short
age either in candidates for the Ar
my Nursing School or of student nur-
ses in the civilian hospital training
schools. The course of training in
these schools ranges from two to
three years in length, and represen-
tatiyes of the Woman's Council de-
sire to emphasize that this is not in
any way an easy task for which the
women of the country are being call
ed upon to enlist.
1.-The thought that the war may be
ended and a victorious peace declar-
ed before the work of preparation is
completed should not deter the young
women from entering the service.
Long after peace has been won the
work of rehabilitation and re-educa-
ton of disabled soldiers will be con-
tinued; and in addition to the Pub
lie Health Service the trained nurse
will find constantly widening oppor-
tunities for different lines of loyal
and exalted usefulness. The call is
to all young women who are strong,
loyal and worthy of our country to
enroll as soon as possible, The re-
cruiting stations will be open on Ju-
ly 29th.'

No ROYAL Road to Old Age.

Unhappily there is no agreement on
the recipe for living to ripe old age,
although every centenarian believes
he has the secret. The fact is, there
is a good deal of luck about it OF
course everybody knows that the per-
son who starts in with a good ply
sique and lives happily and temper
ately and usefully has the advantage
over the person who inherits weak
body and doesn't take care of him
self. But even among those who have
everything in their favor many fai

Fsc:s About Ships Spe' i,

A SIP increases her speed more
readily over deep water, but on me
other hand, the faster a ship runs the
more depth of water she requires to
prevent the hindrance caused by the
dragging influence of the friction
which is always felt when the ships
keel "senses" bottom. Running ten
knots an hour, a ship must have be-
tween &c and 81 feet of depth, or she
is dragged from below. If running
20 knots she needs a depth Of 1Of to
1O5 feet, and when running 30 knots
she feels the drag over depth OF
nearly 324 feet.

TURK FIGHTS WITH FISTS
Story Of a GaIIipoIi "Scrap" Ti:at
Speaks Well for the "Un-
speakabIe."

There is tale of Gallipoli that
deals with fight in the open and ex-
hibits the "unspeakable" Turk as 4
fair and worthy enemy. This is the
story
A young English officer, doing OBJ
servation work alone, was suddenly
confronted by a Turkish officer, SINH
larly engaged. The Turk MsN+ as sur
prised as the Briton, but came forward
revolver in hand The Englishman
had no revolvers. He stood his ground,
his hands in the large pockets of his
tunic.
Seeing that his adversary was I'M
armed, the Turk, much to the surprise
of the Briton, threw down his gun and
put up his fists in approved prize ring
style. The Englishman put himself
on guard, and the next moment the
Turk flung himself on him, and the
pair began to fight desperately.
The men were about the same age,
the same weight and had adequate
knowledge of the art of boxing. They
fought without stopping for about ten
minutes. By that time each was eX-
hausted, and then paused for brief
rest, only to continue their little private
accounting when they had found their
breath.
Round after round the fight went on,
while out in the Gulf of Saros the
ships fired automatically, and back
Of each of them the field artillery
Numbered. Neither seemed to be able
to get any decisive advantage over the
other, and at last Turk and English
man rolled over on the ground and
laughed and laughed.
Just then the Englishman's hand
touched something. 1t was the Turks
pistol. He picked it up and handed it
to his enemy Then the two young
men shook hands and each returned
10 his own lines.

COUNTY SHOULD Take
OVER BRIDGE
Master of Somerset Pomona Gives His
Idea on This Important Matter

The following letter was written by
Eugene Danforth, master of Somerset
Pomona Grange and deals with the old
Patterson bridge and the attitude as
sumed by the County Commissioners
at the recent hearing when 1t was de-
cided not to take over the bridge. The
letter follows:
West Madison. Jan. %, 1918.
Mr. Editor
Will you please allow me a con-
spicuous place In the columns of your
valuable paper?
A few days since you spoke of the
Old Patterson Bridge, being In fair
way to become County property, but
to the sorrow of some of us who are
vitality interested and the chagrin of
others, | am informed 1t has been re-
jected by our. what we supposed and
considered, most efficient County Com
missioners.
Allowing this Is to be the fact,
which l hope is untrue, when the Pat
terson Bridge ceases to be a public
convenience the real estate in this
corner of the town depreciates in
value to the amount of fifteen thous-
and dollars at least, to say nothing of
the inconvenience to those of us who
have North Arson for our Postoffice
with no possible way of getting our
mail at any other town.
AS Master of Somerset County Pc
mona Grange No. 6, I represent eight
hundred and fifty persons and | will
venture to say, could those people all
be gotten together, a majority of them
would vote in favor of the County ac
cepting said bridge.
On account of pressing business at
home and the heavy fall of snow pre-
venting travel on the highways, l was
unable to attend the hearing relative
to said Bridge and l have no doubt
many others have the same reason.
Why, in the name of all that Is fair,
just and equitable can't there be
hearing at North Arson to accomo-
date us farmers, who need this pub
lie convenience most?
No one only those of us who live
near said Bridge have the least idea
how much travel there is across 1t in
the summer time by people from all
over the State and out of the State as
for the matter of that.
Wake up, brother farmers, and if
our County Commissioners will not
grant us fair deal. use your pen and
paper and make yourselves heard thru
the columns of the Independent-Re
porter.
Mr. Editor, thanking you for all
past favors and wishing you success
in the future, am most
Respectfully,
