COLLEGE GIRLS DIN
 OVERALLS AND WORK
 AS WAR EXPED|ENT

Patriotism adamant and rampant has ruled the young misses of St. Mary's college and Academy at Notre Dame, Indiana, ever since Uncle Sam girded his loins for the cause of world democracy. There everybody within the range of high science fac ulty members to the romping, care free minim either knits or seWs. and so thoroughly has the fever for help ing the soldier boys permeated these otherwise peaceful precincts that it would not be at all surprising were the faithful watchmen on the grounds to discard their batons for the more useful knitting needle.
 The thoughts of luXuries to be us ually found occupying the minds of the younger generation happily have given place to plans in the way of thrift and industry. Class treats, the accepted condiments of college so- cial life, have been replaced with en- tertainments which are revenue pro ducers for providing some added com fort or necessity for those sons of Uncle sam whose blood is red and unslaked. This has resulted in the acquirement of sums of unexpected proportions for this admirable pur- pose.

If the x. A. C. C. horsepower is right, then why is it that a motor with a long stroke with q 3-inch bore has the same power as a motor with q shorter stroke but with a 3-inch bore? ? --Inquisitive.
 The power rating you mention, eX- pressed D2XN divided by 2.5. gives the horsepower at 1000 feet per minute piston speed and the piston speed varies wit hthe stroke. A motor with six inch stroke and another with four inch stroke but with 3-inch bore for both, have the same rating at 1000 feet per minute piston speed, but the r. p. m. is different in both cases because fthe difference in stroke. The formu- la gives approximate horsepower which will be found in nearly every case to be very close to the actual power produced at 1000 feet per min ute piston speed.

Is it advisable to have broken spring leaf welded? The main leaf broke, but I was told it could be welded at small cost; or do you think another leaf ought to be used? Is the canti- lever better than the semi eliiptical?- John Tobin.
 It will be better to get a new leaf Some spring welds hold. but the leai costs comparatively little and it is better in the end to get a new one.
 Not necessarily. The type of spring i is no indication of it's qualities. Many | factors enter into spring suspension aside from the mere typinS of spring.

 Although suffering from his physic- al disabilities, Skeyhil announced his intention of inaugurating an in dividual drive with the object of raising a million dollars for the Red Cross. He had been afflicted with violent headaches tor more than month. In San Francisco he had been obliged to go to hos, pital, in Reno he had bled nearly to death from hemorrhages, and in Washington he suffered greatly from pains in his neck.
 A Washington specialist found that tine vertebrae at the base of Skeyhill's neck had been dislocated in three places, presumably by the shock that had blinded him. A optldllOti WdS uu- dertaken, and as the vertebrae were snapped back into position the sight returned to the soldiers eyes. It was explained by the physician that the displaced bone had impaired blood circulation and nerve connec- tioas with the eye centers of the brain.
 As the realization came to Skey- hill that the darkness that had years had been dispelled, he became seized with an ecstatic joy that nearly unhinged his mind. His mind became d blank concerning the years that had elapsed since his injury. and he imagined himself back in the bayonet charge in which he had been wounded. His cond- tion became so acute that he was re- moved 70 hospital, but after d nights sleep he regained his mental poise.

His case is believed to be the first in which a complete cure of shell shock has been effected.
 The soldier-poet will complete his work in the Red Cross drive, and will then try to rejoin his Anzac comrades in the trenches overseas.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The gas cloud the bayonet thrust. and the bullet wound have caused many a repetition in the war of the familiar story of the Light that Failed" But. among the thousands of com batants whose blindness will ever | through their lives prove a poignant sacrifice is one who almost miracu lously has recovered his sight. And, as an inspiring sequel to the story of his physical rehabilitation, the victim has announced his intention of going back to the trenches
 | It was in the fierce fighting be- fore Gallipoli, in 1915, that Thomas Skeyhill, a sgnaller in the Anzac forces, was instantly blinded by the blast of an exploding shell. Fol lowing a terrific bombardnlent from 1 the Franco-British fleets that sue ceeded in silencing the Turkish forts at the entrance to the Dardaneles, thousands of Irish, Australians and New Zealanders with British and French troops landed in an effort to sweep past the defenses of the Peninsula and take Constantinople 1 The world knows the story For nearly a year the allied forces strove valiantly to take desenses that proved impregnable. Thousands or lives were sacrificed, and many bodies were maimed by the whitening fire that came from the foes positions on the hilltops. It was in Decom- Der, 1915, just about a month before the allies carried out their splendid. ly successful evacuation that the light was taken from Skeyhill's eyes. | Months of service had given Skey- hill a deep insight into the motives that had induced his comrades to sacrifice gladly their lives. Incapaci- lated for further fighting, he sought to preach the gospel of the allied effort from the lecture platform and through the press. Although barely over his majOrity-he enlisted at the age of nineteen-he soon became known as a powerfully effective lee turer. His speeches were instru- mental in rallying hosts of Aus i lralia's man power 10 the cOlOrs, and his verse, published under the title of Soldiers Songs of Anzac." caused him to be pOpularly known through the Antipodes as the blind soldier poet"
