no doubt that the Second Regular

Bursting Charge in Shells Fired
on Paris Mixed While Pro

Paris, July 15.-Thnt the bursting
charge Of shells from the German long
range guns is mixed while the projectiles
are in actual flight is the belief Of French
scicntists, according to a technical journal
published here.
When the shelling of Paris began II

Gently the smoke has been entirely white

No shell that failed To explode has been
found, nor even an entire fuse, indicating
how delicate and reliable the explosive
is. This fact leads experts to suppose
that the shell is charged with two liquid ex-
plosives, separated by tho perforated
partition which is known 10 exist in
the center of the projectile.
When the shell is fired at high angle

IRISH TAKE TO NAVY;

WIDENING THE WAR
ON TUBERCULOSIS
Need for Work of a Specialist
in This State Regarded
as Great.

In response to a request of Elizabeth
Whitten, supervisor for the Delaware
State TubeI Iculosis Commission, David
Snellenburg, chairman of the publicity
committee for the State Council of De-
fence, makes public an article showing
that tuberculosis is one OF the great war
problems and that tuberculosis special
ist is one of the greatest needs for the
work in Delaware The article follows:
In 1917 the Allies lost a million men
in battle and the germ of tuberculosis
slew more than a million in the war
ling countries.
WAR lasts for time, and calls for war
budgets and progTams.
The germ of tuberculosis Is ever IN
active warfare and since medical history
has been written has slain from one-tith
TO one-tenth of all the billions Of men
who have been born.
There is 10 germ that sneaks and
turks like the tuberculosis germ 1t
enters your home and takes one or more
members of your family, enters your
neighbors' home-for it Is a germ that
will enter wherever there is n chance
and for every death from the diseases
there are 81 living cases.
I'VE know that poverty, ignorance
and Indifference are IFS friends.
"The vision for the future is that the
Federal government will handle the tuber-
culosis situation with State program,
which will include Diagnosing stations
or travelling clinics.
The Delaware tuberculosis Commits
sion has a dispensary in each county
Wilmington for New Castle; Milford for
Kent and Georgetown for Sussex and
these dispensaries are open as follows:

Another development in the State
Councils program OF activities has shown
itself in the sending out by Dean Wini-
fred J. Robinson. Of the Women's College
of Delaware. uuCstionnaircs to members
of the Speakers Training Camp recently
conducted in Newark under auspices of
the Women's Committee Of the State
Council These qucstionnaires are being
sent out in the hope Of getting the frank
opinion of members in order that they
may be tabulatcd in the report OF the
training camp. Included in the infor-
nation sought is the following:
Purpose in attending sessions from
which the greatest benefit was derived,
advisahility Of organizing similar camps
for other parts of the State, what pre-
paratorv steps should be taken to awaken
people to responsibility as to patriotic
education through public speaking;

sessions should continue; should the varl-
Gus exercises be limited, should forum"

LET THE BOYS DO 1T.
Making Demonstration in Mary
land of Their Value on
the Farm.

Boys settle farm.labor Nobody would
believe it. Now Talbot county proves
it. The whole country should follow.
Labor Director II. NJ. Rcnshaw of
Talbot county. reports that the 500 boys
that are on Talbot county farms are
making good and that the county is Tar
removed. from farm labor shortage.
These boys are schoolboys between the
ages of 13 and IL and are all residents
of the towns of the county, none hav-
ing been brought from Baltimore.
There we have the solution of the farm
labor problem. Every county OF the
whole country has in it its power to
settle the farm labor problem in the
same way and settle it not only Tor va
cation and harvest time, but Tor the
whole year well.
At the beginning of the war | said
there were BOYS enough in every coun-
ty to do its work if child labor and
school laws were suspended or repealed
and they were allowed to do so. | slim
uated n lot of farmers to petition Gov
crnor Harrington to let this be done,
but the clubwoman and the pro-Ger-
mans raised howl and the governor
backed down, even after he had con-
sented to undertake the good work.
Just as soon as the boys and girls of
every county have had work made their
object rather than education, just that
soon will all the needs of the farmers,
truckers, and Gamers be fully met. and
all this rumpus about labor on the farms
with city girls coming out to do it
will be effectually settled. But the back
bone of our impotent educational system
must be broken, and broken without
any regard to the feminine faddists who
would rule and ruin the land We talk
about the necessity of military training
to brace up the boys for better man
hood If not for militarism-it will DO il
and pay in the doing.
The thing is for these Talbot county
boys to 60 right along with farm work
until the last shock of corn is huskcd
next fall Some of the States are re-
ported to have made this arrangement,
but it should be made everywhere let
the school business drop whenever
there is the slightest amount of work
to be attended To. Chicago got snow
bound last winter. In the dilemma the
thousands Of schoolbots were set
loose on the drifts, and the snow van
shcd rs if by magic 1t is sin and
crime that the boy power Of the coun-
try is allowed to 60 so shamefully to
waste. Francis b. livesey in Easton
