WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS
Young Mother Gave Practical Demon.
stration of Their Physical Fit
ness to Do So.

When women first were put to work
in shell factories in England they
handled only the light field-gun shells.
Later it became necessary for them to
turn out larger shells, and doubts were
raised as to whether the women were
strong enough to handle them. A
young mother settled the question.
LET me heft the SHE'LL" she said,
picking one up from the floor. AYE"
she commented, 'this shell is a mite
heavy, It's true, but it's not so heavy
as my baby"
There is shell factory in the Liv-
erpool district operated almost exclu-
sively by the daughters of business
and professional men. Many are
young girls who had never done any
kind of work other than needle work
and cooking. The heavy work of the
establishment is performed by the
wives of sailors.
This is a nonprofit-making factory
and it is the reply of the Cunard COM
pany TO the Germans for the sinking
of the Lusitania.

LOUDER THAN ANY THUNDER
Modern Guns Make Noise That Is Far
Above That of "Heaven's
Artillery"

Every big noise is compared to
thunder, as if heavens artillery were
the greatest noise imaginable. We
speak commonly of "the thunder Of the
guns" and, the poets have always
spread themselves on the terrific can
nonade of thunder storm. But the
plain fact is that mans artillery beats
the clouds into fits, If the distance at
which each can be heard is any cri-
terion of the intensity and volume of
sound.
The gunfire in Flanders has been
heard in London countless times,
while it is quite impossible to say
how far the famous mineburst on the
Vimy ridge, produced by human
agency, though not gunfire, could be
heard. But it is doubtful whether the
loudest thunder that ever pealed has
been heard 20 miles away.
One of the greatest thunder storms
of recent years occurred in the Rich
mond area, but not a sound of it
reached London, and 1t is on record
that when the church steeple of Lost
NllhiSA was NSSAiVSSN ny hShlhAilS "
the accompaniment of such roar of
thunder as the Oldest inhabitant could
not remember, no sound was heard &c
miles distant.
The explanation Of this seeming
anomaly is possibly the fact that
thunder is produced in the air, and the
sound is conveyed by earth waves
rather than by air waves.-London

Increase Parcel
Post Weights

By a recent order of the post-of-
flee department, effective March
Is, 1918, the weight limit on par
eel post matter has been increased
to 70 pounds in the first, second
and third zones and to SO pounds
IN the other zones. The weight
limit heretofore has been SO
pounds in the first and second
zones and 20 pounds to all other
zones.
This change will serve to increase
the usefulness and availability of
the parcel post as a prompt. con-
venient and cheap means Of trans
porting mailable parcels. The
increased weight limit will be par
ticularly advantageous in the mar
keting of farm products, as it will
make it possible for producers and
consumers to get into direct con-
tact. thereby facilitating the con-
servation and distribution of food.
which is a most important factor
in winning the war.
The increased weight limit does
not apply to parcels sent to the
Expeditionary Forces in Europe.
Parcels mailed to those forces must
not exceed z pounds in weight.

the entire proceeds will go to the

an extent that it has become neces-
sary to have more room and the Ia

ROSEN'S STIMULATING ART
Young American Violinist Stellar Fea-
ture of Brilliant Philadelphia
Orchestra Concert

A resourceful talent IN which Intellectual
fire Is a prime ingredient is that OF Max
Rosen, who made his debut here at the
Philadelphia orchestra's very stimulating
concert In the Academy esterday afternoon.
The young American violinist is a product
as Jascha Heifetz is, of the gifted Leopold
Auer's expert tutelage
Comparisons of Rosen's art with that of
the most sensational virtuoso OF the season
have thus inevitably arisen, Such method
of apprisement Is natural enough and yet
not precisely fair to either performer
Heifetz is master of phenomenally sensu-
Gus tone. necromancer with supernal
musical beauties at his command. His direct
appeal is TO the senses Rosen. with, at this
writing a less dazzling technique, evinces
an intellectual grasp of his subject matter
that is highly invgorating 1t is possible
that his development may lead him into
paths which even Heifetz may not tread
Musical prophecies are dangerous, but from
what has been seen and heard here OF the
two gifted young violinists who have so
stirred the American public this year, it can
be suggested that their respective arts will
become rather complementary than COM
petitve. Heifetz on MS two appearances
here offered nothing so pregnant with intro
spective import as the profound and MASTER
full Brahms concerto In d. which his alleged
rival" gave yesterday. Rosen's playing was
of a fervid sincerity that bespoke a person-
ality as earnest as 1t is subtly magnetic.
That he completely won the interest OF the
| large auulence was HdulIcSt III tne warmth
of his reception. He was enthusiastically
applauded after his dignified and authorta-
tive reading of the thoughtful allegro. after
his delicate and refreshingly unsentimentai
handling Of the exquisite adasio. and after
his spirited, yet discreet, Interpretation OF
