HOW TO PRONOUNCE SOME
OF FRENCH WAR NAMES
Mrs. 0, K, Slifer Gives English
Pronunciation of Words
From Front

The Journal on saturday secured
the Alliance Franchise of Atlanta, the
approximate English pronunciation of
number of French names and words
now appearing in the dispatches from
the western front.
For some of these It was difficult for
Mrs. Slifer to give an exact English
pronunciation, but what she gives is as
nearly exact as the susceptibilities of
our language permit, and certainly it is
better than the miscellaneous assert
ment of attempted pronunciations now
filling the atmosphere.
Here are the words and her pronun-
citation:

WITH RUFUS M'NORRELL
Two Men Are Shot Down by
MiIIen'S Chief of
Police

AUGUSTA, Ga, March s1.-Frank

whom he had been seeking to quiet
for alleged disorder, shot three times
at him.
Godbee used a shotgun. The officer
returned the firt with his pistol God
bee and McNorrell were instantly
killed. The double homicide occurred
in the heart of MilIen's business district.
Godbee was IS years of age and mar
ried He was the son of the late Judge
Walter S. Godbee. McNorrell, who was
about so years old, was a farmer.
Dispatches Saturday night from Mil
len, Ga. telling of the killing of Frank
Godbee ty the chief of police, will re-
vive memories of one Of Georgia's most
famous criminal cases.
Frank Godbee is the third of the fam
ily to meet a sudden and trgic end. His
father, the late Judge Walter s. God
bee, was shot and killed at Millen, Ga,
a few years ago by his divorced wife,
Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee, who, at the
same time, killed Judge Goddess bride
Of a few months. The scene of Frank
Goddess death, according to dispatches
was in the center of Millen, near the
postofice. where his father and step
mother were killed.
Mrs Edna Perkins Godbee was tried
for the double killing and sentenced
to life. At the time, the trial drew
wide attention and since then Mrs.
Goddess applications for pardon,
heard by the prison commission, have
also been followed by the public with
great interest. Her daughter, known
as 'Sad-eyed Sarah" was always pres
ent to plead in her mothers behalf.

Poison to Preserve Woodwork.

From the Portsmouth Chronicle.
The use of poison sprays has not
only been found effective in preventing
the destruction of plants and fruits,
but it is now being tested as a means
of preserving buildings. The timbering
of Westminster Hall. the famous old
structure adjoining the British houses
of parliament, has suffered greatly
from the ravages of a WOODWORK,
Xestobium tesselatum. Architect Frank
Baines, who states that the grub lives
only in the oak, finds that holes large
enough to bury man waist deep have
been made in the oak trusses of the
roof, with its shingled
span of sixty-eight feet, and he believes
the work of destruction has been going
on 400 years.
Some of the patching done 100 years
ago has shared the attacks made ON
older portions. AS a last measure of
protection, a spraying mixture has
been prepared by Prof. H. M. LEROY
from cedar wood oil. soft soap, par
ATTN wax and certain powerful chemi-
Gals, and the several applications OF
this that have been made. are expected
to give relief. Gas. masks have had to
be worn in applying this powerful in>

ZIGZAGGING AT SEA.
How Changing Ships Course May
Elude the Submarine,

From the Wireless Age.
Zigzagging by commanders of YES
sells to elude attacks by submarines
has a protective value which it did not
possess before merchant ships were
armed Now. that the tramp is apt to
carry a rapid-fire gun of from three to
six inch calibe-, the U-boat once it has
come within the effective range of the
gun, must stay below. In the old days
a submarine with fourteen to seventeen
knots speed did not hesitate to run
down its prey on the surface, and a
large proportion of the victims were
sunk by gunfire. But when a merchant
ship begins to mount powerful guns.
with navy-trained gunners behind
them. the sinking, even of slow tramps,
became a very difficult and hazardous
task.
On sighting an approaching ship the
submarine heads to intercept her
course, submerges. and then takes an
occasional look at her. bringing her
seconds only. The U-boat commander
estimates the speed and course of the
ship, 1submerges and lays his own
course by compass while below so as
to bring his boat within torpedo range,
preferably forward of the beam.
Now. if while the submarine is be-
low the merchant ship changes her
course. say, through an angle of 40
degrees. the former. on coming up for
few seconds look at the ship, finds
that. instead of covergfng to meet him.
the merchant ship is sailing in a direc-
ton entirely different from that on
which his calculations were based. his
maneuver for getting into firing posi-
ton goes for nothing. and he has to try
again. Unless he is satisfied that his
guns can greatly outrange the enemy,
the U-boat commander does not dare
to use his surface speed, and below the
surface he has not sufficient speed to
overhaul the merchant ship. One or
two misjudgments of this kind will
lose SO much time that the ship will
have a good chance to pass him and
steam beyond torpedo range.

Frogs From Minnesota.


The town of Morris, Mimi, is con-

brothers, have shipped FIVE tons Of
frogs to Chicago and New York. where
they will be served on the tables of the
rich. The frogs were caught at Lake
Hattie, near Norris
Nets were stretched about the lake
Just few feet from the water and pits
were dug at intervals along the net.
When the frogs go to the lake in the
fall to seek their winter quarters they
come to the net and have to stop. They
then follow the net until they come to
a pit and fall in. When the pits are
full the frogs are sorted and the big
ones put into crates. while the small
ones are thrown into the water.
To get the five tons suitable for mar
ket it was necessary to handle nearly
fifty tons of frogs. and this was done
in about a weeks time, as that is
long as the season lasts. The frogs
were kept in large tanks in the lake
until about a week ago. when they
