ALL PREPARED FOR MEASLES


Have you had the measles yeti
Well. just be patient. 1t is only q
matter of time.
A physician was asked how he ac-
counted for the great number Of cases
of measles this year. and he smiled
and said that the old germs were oil
frozen during the very cold weather
and that they were trying out the new
supply. Professional men have such
charming manners. which invariably
accompany those evasive answers.
One never knows whether they are
afraid Of disclosing state secrets or
whether the sweet smile and graceful
bow are serving in an armorial ca
pacity.
So, II you awaken some morning and
your forehead Is a mass Of little
feels dry and your head feels hot, don't
be alarmed. It simply means that
you have been chosen to become q
member Of the Ancient Accepted Or
der Of Measleites, and that the inltia-
ton has begun. A five days vacation
Is about to be thrust on you, which
you will enjoy, more or less, probably
less, particularly II you have the
"Hpn" Variety, which IL as PREACHER
Gus as the name implies.

That Did It.

A sturdy tramp went into a subur-
ban garden where the lady Of the
house was occupied in attending to her
bulbs.
He took no notice of her refusal to
give coppers, but continued to worry
her until a small dog appeared, bark
ing loudly. The lady seized its collar
and held it, calling out:
"You had better go; 1t may bite"
"YOu amt got no right to keep
savage dog" replied the tramp, out
ragged In all his most sacred feelings.
Perhaps 1 have not" she answered
coolly. IF you think so l won't keep
him. I'll let him CO."
The latch of the gate clicked VIC
lently, and in 20 seconds the tramp had
vanished into space.

For Mendinu China.

An old and tested recipe for mend
ing substance for china and glass,
which will resist the action of water
and heat. is as follows: Mix cupful
of milk with cupfu, Of vinegar. Sep
arate the curd from the whey and mix
the whey with the whites of five eggs,
beating the whole thoroughly together.
When 1t Is well mixed sift in little
quicklime and stir until 1t Is a thick
paste. This dries quickly and may be
used very satisfactorily for broken

One of the interesting developments
of the war, according to statement
authorized by the war department, is
the rapid expansion of the various bu-
reaus of the war department. At the
outbreak of the war there were less
than 5000 employees on duty. The
an increase of 800 per cent. While this
represents a tremendous expansion,
the increase in the army itself has been
more than 1900 per cent.
Only four out of every 100 officers
in the service were in the army at the
time the war began.

ficers who have been Mt the various
camps for the last SIX months, the
troops which are going forward to
France are well posted on methods of
combating gas attacks, says a state
ment authorized by the war depart
ment. A group of British gas officers
has been in this country since last
summer. One of these men has been
at each of the training camps, advising
and assisting the division gas officer.
All the men going overseas are sup
piled with gas helmets. Under the d.
vision gas officers and their assistants
the men are drilled in the use of
masks, taught how to detect the pres
ence of gas, and given actual expert
ence with different sorts of gases.
Mimic gas shells and cloud attacks,
used often at night in connection with
high explosives, help to make the train
ing realistic.
The United States has been able to |
build on the experience of the British |
and French, to whom gas attacks were |
unknown when they entered the war.
No American troops have been sent to
the front without practical experience |

Tense includes course Of about one
month. Most of the gas officers are

The gas defense service is now manu-
featuring about 5000 horse gas masks
per day. These are being sent TO
France, and 1t is expected that within
short time every horse connected
with the American expeditionary
forces will be equipped with the new
masks
The gas defense service has a com.
pletely equipped factory for the manu-.
facture of the masks. In less than
three weeks q building was selected
and the factory was producing masks.
The introduction of riveting machinery
has done away with the heavy hand
sewing of the frame which supports
the masks ON the faces of the horses.
The masks are so constructed that no
metal or chemically impregnated parts
can chafe the horse.

Want Steel Cars

Public Service Commission
and Aldermen Seek to Pre-

Ihree moves were made yesterday by

Two steps we're taken by the Public

Justice Benedict, in the Supreme Cour+
in Brooklyn, signing an order requiring
the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Com
pany, u subsidiary Of the B. r. T., to
snow cause Monday why mandamus
should not issue compelling it to put in
operation 135 steel cars of the centre
door type. In it's motion the Public
Service Commission pointed out that in
l917 it issued an order requiring the
3. K. T. to put in operation 25O steel
cars and that the order was not COM
piled with.
The second was letter written by
the Public Service Commission to the
Board OF Estimate, putting the failure
OF the b. K. T. to equip its lines with
steel cars up to Mayor Hylan and his
associates on the board.
The third was the adoption of a reso-
luton Of the Board of Aldermen call
ing upon Its Committee on Public Wei
fare to prepare ordinances to make for
safer travelling facilities and to pre-.
vent the employment of green motor
men. The resolution was introduced d
by Aldermen Charles y. uaubert. Re-
