why We Hear Heart Throbs.

The cause of the sound Of normal
heart beats has not been definitely
ascertained. There are normally two
sounds-the first, which Is called
systolic, is dull and somewhat pro-
longed; 1t is followed quickly by the
second, called diastolic, which Is
shorter and sharper. A pause follows
the second sound. It 10 supposed that
the vibration and closure Of the valves
between the aurlcles and ventricles Is
one of the causes Of the first sound;
the contraction Of the ventricles, or
the striking Of the heart against the
walls of the chest, may be the cause.
The second sound is known to be
caused by the vibration produced by
the closure of the semilunar valves.

War Demand for shoddy.

The process of reclaiming wool from
all sorts of rags has become a task OF
increasing magnitude since the plac'
ing Of the governments big orders for
army clothing, special machinery
being employed to reduce the rags to
shreds, wash them, separate the wool
from the cotton, etc. Cloth experts
claim this reworked wool, or shoddy,
is suitable for use in overcoats, be-
cause a warmer, more closely woven
fabric can be produced, if used in the
right proportion with virgin wool, says
Popular Mechanics. For this reason
it is used in army overcoating, but
all other uniform cloth is now pure
wool, according to government off,

Associated Press yesterday just be-
fore leaving for the interallied So

NJ. Thomas continued, that a dele
cation of English and French So
cialists should visit Washington, If
the President would receive us, to
explain to him that his purposes in
the war are our purposes.
The American Army is entering
into action in France, and its part
will be n growing one. Nevertheless,
America has a greater role than that
'of its Army. The spirit of the en-
tente allied peoples must be contlnu-
ally supported and refreshed by the
daily consciousness of the justice of
our aims. The minds of the people
must be filled much greater than the
military action with ideals.
President Wilson's part can be of
the American Army"

DRY FEDERATION
IS ORGANIZING
Pittsburgh Headquarters Is
Sending Out Announcement
Regarding Plans Today

Officials of the Dry Federation of
Pennsylvania, which endorsed High
way Commissioner j. Denny O'NeiI
Tor Governor at the convention held
more last Thursday, to-day announced
In dispatch from Pittsburgh that
plans have been launched to Organ
lHe tho various counties along thor
oughly political lines and with the
mead OF the ticket selected, to get
behind complete set of Republican
candidates for the Legislature"
The announcement also says: The
Federation is an inter-party organi-
Eation and proposes to have no ticket
OF It's own, 1t will endorse complete
sets of Republican and Democratic
tickets and thus indicate to their
followers OF both parties the names
or the candidates whom it will be
safe to vote for, with the idea of
having the national prohibition
amendment ratified by the next Leg
tsiature, O'Nell was selected as the
Republican standardbearer because
of his long dry record.
mo endorsement of Democratic
candidate for Governor was made by
tine convention because there is no
aVewedly dry man in the field for
this nomination. While in many dis
didates for tho Legislature, yet un-
der the law petitions for nomination
cannot be circulated prior to March
End, so tho Dry Federation decided
to make no legislative endorsements
until all the candidates are in the
field and then to select the strongest
dry candidates of both parties.
THE selection of a dry Democratic
candidate for Governor as well as
the Legislative candidates of both
parties was placed in the hands of
a comittee of five which is to be
named by the president of the Fed
Grafton, former Judge William L.
Porter of New Castle. and of which
he is to be q member This commit
tee will be appointed shortly and
will be ready to make its endorse
ments as soon as all the candidates
for Governor and the Legislature are
in the field.
1T is the plan to have ]. Denny
O'Neil Republican ticket in every
county with the dry Republican can
didates for the Legislature thereon.
The same will be true of Democratic
tickets in each county, the standard
bearer for Governor being at its
head.
while the next Governor will have
no Official part III acting upon Ine
ratification of the national prohibi-
tion amendment, this function being
left under the Federal Constitution
entirely to the Legislature. yet the
Dry Federation realizes the impor-
tance of having conspicuous dry
leaders as it's candidates for Govern
or. in order to make the political
work in each county more compact
and practical. C'Neil has had a long
record as a fearless antagonist of
the liquor traffic and for that rea-
son no time was wasted at the re-
cent convention in endorsing him. \
similar endorsement will be. given a
Democratic candidate for Governor if
one apepars who has an acceptable
dry record"
