SOLDIER SAVES king
Serbian Lieutenant Tells Stirring
Story of War.
Out OF Whole Army He Was Selected
to Command 5~odyguard OF
Monarch.

Bangor, Me.-Among soldiers recent
ly from European battlefelds who
passed through here was the officer
who was selected to command the
guard detailed to escort King Peter of
Serbia to a place of safety when the
Austrian bombardment made it neces-
sary for the monarch to quit the royal
palace in Belgrade. This officer is
Lieut.. Pavle Yovanovitch, a man of
stately figure and courtly manner, who
wears upon his tunic the insignia of
the Order of the White Eagle, which
is equivalent a the British Distin-
guished Service Order, and Order of
the White Star, which corresponds to
the Victoria Cross, besides several
gold bars bestowed for service in the
Balkan wars.
Lieutenant Y~ovanovitch's narrative
of the country's sufferings and despoil-
ment at the hands of the TeutOnic
hordes is dramatic and pitiful, a vivid
word picture, In very good English, of
the gallant fight of the Serbs against
overwhelming force. When it became

arations were made for safe conduct
of King Peter out of the city, and out
Of the whole Serbian army Lieutenant
Yovanovitch was selected to command
the body guard, which was of his own
choosing-veterans with whom he had
been associated in the Balkan cam
paigns.
Austrian shells were crashing and
laundering In the outskirts of beauti-
full Belgrade as the guard of honor
drew up at the palace gates, and al
ready the enemy was posting machine
guns on roofs within range of the pal
ace. AS the king was escorted from
the palace to his carriage a hail of
bullets swept the plaza, and several
of the guards were wounded, including
Lieutenant Yovanovitch, but the king
escaped injury. When the party had
reached a place of safety the king
sent for the lieutenant, who came, but
fell, faint from the loss of blood, at
the monarch's feet. Then and there
did King Peter bestow the orders that
the veteran wears so proudly upon his
breast. Lieutenant Yovanovitch will
return tt the battlefields.

To Make Your Shoes Last.

When your shoe leather gets dry or
hard, you should oil or grease it, says
the popular Science Monthly. To do
this, first brush off all mud and then
wash the shoe in warm water, drying it
with a soft cloth.
While the shoe is still wet, apply the
oil or grease, rubbing it in with a swab
of wool, or better still, with the palm
of the hand. After treatment, the
shoes should be left to dry in a warm
but not in a hot place. Castor oil is
recommended for shoes that are to be
polished. For palmer footgear, fish oil
and oleine or any one of the less ex-
pensive oils may be substituted with
very good results.

Encourage Spirit Of Adventure.

The spirit of adventure, so nearly
universal in youth, commonly Is
thwarted at every turn. Yet this Is
M of its finest gifts; when 1t has
gone. life's greatest promise Is past.
An educational system should nurture
and direct this spirit, bringing 1t TO ex-
preston in a daring to aim at high
standards, in adventures into new
fields of action, thought, and knowl-
edge in a desire for the hard, strenu-
Gus things which temper and stabilize
character. The sporting instinct of
youth demands these difficult tasks,
and life Is stale when they cannot be
found.-Arthur e. Morgan, In the At
lantic.

Telescope and Spirit Level
Part of Air Raiders Outfit

If a bomb be dropped from an air
plane 10000 feet up, and travelling at
a speed of 100 miles mn hour, 1t
reaches the ground q considerable dis
lance ahead Of the point IT which it
was released. ANA the difficulty of
judging how to lit q particular build
ing is enormous.
4 machine invented TO assist the
raiders has been found on Il captured
Gulha The main feature says the
London Tit-Bits, is a telescope hung
on gimIalS and pointing through the
floor of HE bomhcrS compartment. In
connection with this is form Of Spir-
it level which brings a bubble into the
center of Il glass disk when IT," t"lo-
scope is vertical, 50 that the bomber
knows when ii is in the position that
can be trusted. Below the telescope
is IL prism, 50 that the image seen Is
not an object directly underneath, but
at any desired distance ahead, accord
ing IT, the angle at which 1t is set.
For instance, if the airpane is 10000
feet up. and the speed is such that the
bomb must be released half a mile
from the object. the prism has to be
set at an angle of 10 degrees. Even
then the calculation is liable to error,
because the density Of different layers
Of air may vary.

required his soldiers t. shave off their
hrardS because Il beard was Il handle
which an enemy could seize.
The Crimran war in the ftftieS
brought the full beard into fashion
again. In the campaign British sol
dicrs spent months in tn" trenches
where they had no chance TO shave.
Their boards grew and grew and they
wore them when they returned TO
England.
The English papers say that many
soldiers coming home from the
trenches are bearded, and, unless pre-
cedpnts fail, the full beard is GO
ing TO come into faShion again. Should
orr American troops return from the
war with boards. we may look for that
fashion to become prevalent again in
America as 1t did after the Civil war.

BACKYARD
POULTRY GROWING

The city or town man who keeps n
small flock of hens not only is saving
money but is helping his country.
Every pound of poultry raised and
every egg laid releases just 50 much
pork and beef for our armies and al
lies, according to L. w. Burby, poul-
try husbandman stationed at the ag-
ricultulSl college by the United
States department of agriculture.
Poultry will not prevent ones grow
ing a garden. Twelve hens confined
in pen big enough for exercise and
provided with green feed will furnish
q goodly number of eggs for food. n
packing box and a little poultry net
ting are all that is necessary for build
Ing house and run.
For egg production rooster should
not be kept, as he is noisy and mas
large appetite, but has no influence
on the number of eggs produced.
The poultry grower should not de-
pend too much on table scraps for
feeding his poultry, points out Mr.. Bur
nv Enough feed should be given to
keep the birds in good condition ana
sufficient excess to produce eggs. Inc
hens will eat vegetable peelinGs
and fruit scraps if these are put
through the food chopper and mixed
with a little mash. A good mash con
sists of four parts of bran, two parts
of shorts. and one part Of high grade

Plenty of green feed should be uSeu
This cuts down the amount OF gram
necessary. 1t is desirable to feed TO
the poultry the green weeds ana thln-
nngs from the garden, also the ms,

"Sun" is among the words contained

closely printed columns are devoted to
it. It is quite Interesting to find that
the kaiScr's famous phrase, place in

used it TO illustrnt" the beginnings OF
tyranny. Yet another well-known
phrase, "On which the sun never sets

Optical Glass Playing a Big
Part in the World Conflict
Needed by All Departments

That every field Of military endeav-
or depends upon the supply Of optical
glass is the statement recently made
by Prof Edward W. WaShburn Of the
department Of ceramic engineering 1T
the University Of Illinois.
The war could not be conducted
without optical glass" said Professor
Washburn. "TeleScOpps. binoculars, Of
ficers' lenses and Photographic plates
for army and navy observation pur-
poses, N-ray bulbs and microscopic
lenses for the medical and sanitary
corps and many other necessary I'M
Elements of a modern army would be
struck out if it We're not for the Cera-
mic industry" explained the lecturer.
"PreviOuS TO the war" Professor
Washburn said, Germany manufac-
tured 100 different kinds of optical
glass, an assortment which supplied
the whole world England boosted
about twenty varieties Of glass. The
United States produced none whatever.
England'S product was not nearly suf-
ficient to meet the demand Of the al
lies and Britain found it necessary ut
the beginning of the war to collect all
field glasses and small telescopes own
ed by citizens"
Doctor WaShburn then told how
America is meeting the same problem
under the direction Of 4 special com
mittee on optical glass manufacture.
AS Il result of activities of this
commissions" according to Professor
Washburn, american industry is now
supplying all the optical glass urgent
~ needed by the army and navy.
