1nnocuiation against "Germanlie-
It's" as well as against typhoid, to-
tanus and smallpox, is needed to win
the war, according TO letter just re-
ceived in the United States from .
wyoming private Of an engineer reg
iment in France.
This innocuiation, the writer states,
Ia being furnished by representatives
Of the United states Committee on
Public Information, who explain to
the men the dangerous forms which
German propaganda may take, but
the writer expresses concern lest the
deadly virus create an epidemic in the
United States.
"You at home win win the victory
IL you can kill German propaganda"
he writes.
Writing of the speakers who re-
vealed the campaign Of German lies
the correspondent says:
"They are instructed az to what they
may tell and have every opportunity
to see what they talk about with their
own eyes. One Of them was on the
boat coming over, the one we heard
here yesterday has been over some
time, and il about ready to 60 back
and speak to you folks 1t home. While
over here they not only collect infor-
nation but they keep rs informed
and innoculated against German prop
uganda. When they go back they
mean to do the same thing and TO
show the folks at home just what the
situation 10 and why 1t would be folly,
and is worse even. TO talk Of any
peace without unconditional surrea-
der Of the P0tsdam gang.

HORSE MEAT IN NEW YORK
Although There lie Much Opposition to
Its Use as Human Food, the
Demand Increases.

1t is now nearly two years since the
board of health lifted the ban on the
sale of horse meat In the effort to re-
duce the cost of living, observes the
Brooklyn Eagle. The Introduction Of
the food has been slow, but five shops.
two of them in Brooklyn, are now re-
ported to be advertising horse meat for
sale.
The demand for this cheap meat has
been increased by the wartime food
prices and some Of the butchers In
Manhattan who compete with the horse
meat stores are issuing circulars de-
nouncing the new food and stirring up
prejudice against It. Whether as a re-
suit of the circulars is not clear, but
one of these horse-meat stores on First
avenue, Manhattan, has been attacked,
its window having been smashed in on
two successive nights.
Neither the circulars nor the attacks
are likely to interfere with the spread
of the demand for the new food. The
manager of the company which is intro
ducing it says that crowds are drawn
when he opens a new store and that in
one case he had to call on the police to
keep order among his would-be Gus
toners. In cases of food scarcity horse
meat has been eaten in many countries.
The great prosperity of the United
States has kept it out of our markets
heretofore, but the wartime scarcity
and high prices are likely to establish
it as a regular part of the diet of peo-
pie who can't afford to, pay for beef.
The objections to 1t are sentimental
and not hyglenic, SO that as relief
from high prices, its use Is to be well
coined.

oDIUM ATTACHED TO CARD
Numerous Explanations as to Why the
Nine of Diamonds Is Called the
Curse of Scotland.

While the nine spot of spades is
looked upon as a fatal and vindictive
card in the trying of fortunes, it is the
nine of diamonds that bears the odium
of being called the curse of Scotland.
All writer's agree on the card, but as
to the cause of the stigma attached
to it there is a diversity of opinion
and it is difficult to decide which of
the many theories is correct. One the
ory is that after the Culloden strug-
gle the duke of Cumberland picked
up q nine of diamonds from the floor
and wrote on it an order for the death
of the insurgents. To clfnch this ar
gument, it Is declared that the identl-
cal card is preserved at Slams castle,
Aberdeenshire. Another explanation
was that a Scotch member of parlla-
ment. a part of whose family arms was
the nine of diamonds, once voted for
malt tax for his country. Still another
view is that diamonds represent roy
atty and every ninth king of Scotland
having been tyrant and curse fur-
nishes the key to the mystery One
writer explains it by stating that the
last queen of Scotland taxed her SUBJ
jects heavily to pay for nine jewels
for her own adornment. The last
queen of Scotland" in her own right
was poor, pretty Marie Stuart, against
whose memory has been tossed the
mud of countless accusations by her
bitter critics, and she might as well
bear the nine o. diamonds SANDER
along with the others.

FOX, STATESMAN AND ORATOR
Brilliant EngIishman viii Be Remem-
bered as Firm Friend of Amerl-
can Independence.

Charles James Fox, great English
statesman, who did so much for Amer
lean independence, entered parliament
as a tory at nineteen, and was made
lord of the admiralty at twenty-one.
He incurred the lifelong enmity of
George III by opposing a royal mar
'iage bill, favored by the king, and at
The kings instance he was dismissed
from Office. Thereupon he left the
tories and Joined the wing party,
whose chief he soon became leading
them ia their splendid opposition to
Lord North and the war which ended
in American independence.
Fox was kept out of Office by the en-
nifty of the king during % Of the best
years of his life (Lord Grenville final
~ refused to form a cabinet without
him), but managed in spite of this to
fight valiantly for many good meas
ures, including Indian government re-
form, a better libel law and the abol-
ition of the slave trade. He risked
his life rising from sick bed to speak
for the latter.
Gambling, which his father taught
him as a child, was Fox's besetting
sin. He lost thousands by it, but when
in 1893 his friends paid his debts and
settled an annuity upon him, he never
touched card again.
Fox was one of the greatest orators
who ever spoke in the British parlia-
ment. He is said to have possessed
"above all moderns that union of rea-
son, simplicity and vehemence which
formed the prince of orators"

Politeness Is the lubricant which
enables people to crowd past each

heads OF strangers who jostled them.

other useful forms of politeness were

Politeness has now been developed
Into so fine an art that some people
can get along entirely on politeness
without the aid Of any manners at
all. But politeness still remains the
language Of strangers. The more in
timately we become acquainted with
man the less polite we are to him.
When two men salute each other as
Bcoundrels and punch each other In
the neck with fond smiles they are
very close friends indeed and do not
need to resort to politeness in their
dealings at any time.
When people belong to the same
family they understand each other
very well and can not only lay aside
all politeness but almost all consid-
Grafton for each other. They may re-
veal their true selves without any
patent leather conversation as dis
guise and can be as disagreeable as
they please, knowing that the fam
lily tie can stand the strain and that
there will probably be no murder in
consequence. Whenever we hear two
people talking to each other with
comprehensive rudeness and no dis
orderly results, we may be sure that

Thin Sheet on Surface Has Properties
That Are Very Like Those Of
India Rubber.

1t seems not to be generally under
stood that the surface of all water is
covered by a film of the water itself,
which in it's action Is not unlike that
of a thin sheet of india rubber, says
Edward Bigelow, the scout naturalist,
in Boys Life. To comprehend this
one must imagine the rubber to be so
thin as to be transparent. The surface
of the water itself is elastic and under
tension, so that needle, though heav-
Ter than the water, may be floated on
the surface.
Several interesting experiments may
be made with the elasticity of this
slender splinters of wood side by side
on the water. Now drop a little alco-
hol between the splinters. This alco-
hol will Immediately break the surf
ace film between the splinters, and
the pulling force of the remaining film,
since there is nothing between them
to hold them, will cause the splinters
instantly to fly apart.
Another interesting experiment is to
white thin, slender splinter, pointed
at one end somewhat like boat. Place
a tiny bit of gum camphor on the rear
of this splinter and the gum will de-
stroy the surface film so that there
will be no pull in the rear. As there
is a pull in the front not balanced by
one in the rear, the tiny boat will run
forward as rapidly as the camphoI
can dissolve the film in the rear.
I Some interesting little magic
tricks might be developed from these
experiments which would surprise
and instruct your friends.

All Chapters to Participate in
Big Nationwide Campaign
Lasting One Week.

The second $100000,000 War Fund
campaign of the American Red Cross
will begin on May 20 and continue
through that week, according to an
announcement made by G. NJ. Dahl,
chairman of the War Fund Committee
for the Atlantic Division of the Red
Cross. This announcement followed
the receipt of telegram from the
War Council of the Red Cross.
The big Red Cross campaign was
originally set for May 6 to Is. but on
account of possible interference with,
the Liberty Loan drive it was decided
that the later date would more effec-i
lively serve the. interest of the Red.
Cross and the Liberty Loan Commit
tees.
The campaign will be nationwide
with each of the thirteen Division
Headquarters and all Red Cross Chap
tiers participating. Arrangements for
the campaign in the Atlantic Division,
which embraces the States of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut, are
being made under the direction of MIR.
