a number of other interesting
things.
The war this year has brought two
lessons home to military men. In the
first place, it has been established
that no line of Notifications can
withstand massed troops backed
with mobile artillery. In the Sec
ond place, it has taught that the
line Of advance is limited only by
the mobility of the cannon.
1t should be explained that in
defensive work against the enemy
every effort is made so to arm the
men of the first two or three lines
that they can conceal underground
all weapons, yet will be able to
bring them quickly into play in
the few minutes elapsing between
the time when the heavy barrage
fire of the enemy passes beyond
them and the time when the ene-
my comes plunging through the
wires few scant yards from the
trenches. The fact that the "37"
can be quickly taken from tripod
mounting and both mount and bar
rel hidden in a dugout is, therefore,
of Importance. The fact that four
men can bring it from the dugout
and get it in position in the trench
in less than two minutes is of
greater importance.
1t can be readily imagined what
would happen to a German tank if
one-pound armor-piercing shell
met it about 100 yards from its
point of attack. Perhaps a better
idea of the strength of the blow
can be obtained from the statement
that the shell has an unusually low
ira jectory. In other words, that
it travels near to the ground, and
that when it leaves the muzzle of
the gun it is going at the rate of
1872 feet second. This muzzle
velocity is not great, as compared
with other weapons, but it permits
of low trajectory.
When in action the gun is
manned by four men. Two of the
men act as observers, or range cor
rectors, for in most cases the gun
can be aimed, although this slows
down the action and permits the
firing of only 25 shots a minute.
If the men fire on dead reckoning.
however, the gun will handle the
shells at rate of one every second.
In appearance the gun is not un-
usual. 1t has an extra long trail
piece on it's mount, but this makes
for solidity. The gun itself is only
about 80 inches over all. Perhaps
its, most noticeable feature is the
megaphone-like contrivance on the
muzzle. This is flash. .hider, and
is used in night firing.

On account of no outside umpire

T1IIEN pleasure of celebrating
.HSVMSN Labor Day and witness
l&N1 ing a baseball game be-
tween the Oak Park team and the
M. S. P, the former being defeated
the second time this season by the
local team.
Immediately after the game was
over we all fell into line and
marched directly to the dining
hall where bountiful dinner was
served. After feasting on home
grown watermelons, tomatoes and
many other articles too numerous
to mention, we then marched to
our respective abodes to spend the
balance of the day in reading,
writing or sleeping.
The game was very loosely con-
tested from both sides of view.
The hits were numerous, errors
upon errors and the jumps decisions
we're rank; not only for the home
team but the outside team as we'll.
The local players are all united in
wanting to win by fair means.
They want no favoritism from the
jumps; they would much rather
lose the game than to have such
decisions rendered in their favor.
The locals commenced their scor-
ing in the opening frame. East
drew a pass on balls and stole Sec
ond and third base and scored on
Buege's wild throw. In the sec.
ond frame they found the ball for
three single hits and two three
baggers, resulting in five runs to
cross home plate. In the fourth
inning they got another score by
getting two singles, aided by a
couple of errors and the jumps. In
the seventh they counted one more
by Helm getting a>two-bagger and
stealing third, then scoring on j.
Peulen's error. In the eighth two
more scores crossed home plate:
East getting a base on balls was
followed by a single and a two
bagger, resulting in the two scores.
The visitors were unable to do
anything with Lees deliveries un-
til the fourth frame, then the fire.
works began. The first three men
up singled, filling the bases. Then
on an infeld error one score came
home, and still the bases were full.
The next man up drove out a
singing grounder to right field,
scoring two more runs. The next
two batters were easy outs, re-
lieving the suspense. In the sixth
inning the visitors came back
strong. By getting four single
hits and one three bagger four
runs came cantering home before
the side was retired and putting
an end to the agony. This, how
ever. ended the visitors score
record.
The locals seemed to tighten up
for the remainder of the game, for
not a man reached second base
after that.
Buege, the visitors catcher, was
put out of commission in the Sec
ond inning by being hit on the
finger with a foul tip. j. Peulen
was forced to do the backstop
work, and Nc, one of our local
players, was substituted to fill j.
Peulen's place. He played a posi-
ton he never covered before but
did fair work.
Lees work in the box was not
as good as usual, due, no doubt, to
his team mates inability to give
him proper support. 1t must be
remembered that every hit that
the visitors made was of the variety
that was exceptionally hard to
handle. Lee struck out eleven
men and allowed eleven hits.
w. Peulen's pitching record for
the day was on about the same
basis as Lees: he struck out -thir.
teen men, allowed eleven hits,

N legend and history it is
told that the first mirror
was contemporary with
the first woman. Wheth-

HGNN was contemporary with
lA-Ag the first woman. Wheth-
er or not this was coincidence or
a special dispensation of Provi-
dence will never be known. At
any rate, from that time forward,
in every age, the lady and her mir
ror have been one and inseparable.
Some men have also been &C
cused of succumbing to the charms
of their reflected glories.
When Mrs. Eve wished to note
the effect of her latest leafy crea-
ton, it was comparatively an easy
matter. She repaired to the near
est pool, there to behold her beauty
in it's crystal surface. This was
simple arrangement, and one that
would, undoubtedly find support
ers at the present day. Unfortu-
nately, or perhaps fortunately,
ideas change, and with increasing
traffic about the community pool
complications arose that made nee
essary an arrangement somewhat
less romantic, but more in keeping
with the social precepts of today.
The first mirrors for individual
use. shown in the leading depart
ment stores about 700 B. c., we're
metallic-usually of tin or bronze.
A thin and slightly convex disc of
metal was polished on one side and
on the other left plain. 1t was
strictly utility and laid no claim
to beauty. Silver mirrors have
also been found, which it is thought
were in use at the time of Pom
peii. This type of mirror is still
in existence as part of the field
equipment of the boys at the
Front.
In size the metallic mirrors of
ancients we're not unlike the hand
mirrors of today, though the early
example have no handle. These
suficed until the time of the Ro-
man Empire. when one fine day
the first lady of the land was seized
with the notion that she should be
able to view her figure from
head to toes" instead of only a
part of it. So a craftsman of the
court. his wits made nimbler by
the 'strafpg" to be administered
if he did not produce. evolved an
ingenious arrangement whereby a
piece of metal could be raised or
lowered like window sash so as
to take in the whole figure.
The first mirrors to have handles
like those of today were used in
Greece. Usually the handle was
carved, often in the form of a
: miniature statuette of Aphrodite.
Others were even more elaborate.
A little trinket gotten out for the
holiday trade in 400 B. G. was a
vanity mirror" of metal, consist
ing of two circular discs, fastened
together with a hinge, the upper
one ornamented on the outside,
the lower one polished to reflect
the face.
In ancient Greece mirrors were
used for divination as we'll as for
their powers of reflection. The
custom was to lower the mirror in
to we'll until it grazed the sur
face of the water with the rim,
when it was pulled up and, when
looked into next, showed the face
of the person who would benefit
by this ceremony.
During the Middle Ages, the
society lady carried her little metal
mirror at her girdle or in an EN-.
broidered pocket. The pocket
mirrors we're small plaques of a
brightly polished metal usually
steel or silver fitted in a small,
circular box and covered with a
lid. The mirrors worn at the
girdle had no cover, but were fur
nished with short, ornamental
