Town Made Famous by oysters.

The oyster season at Colchester,
England, was opened with qua nj cere-
monies. The mayor and corporation
traversed the fishery grounds in a
dredger and the mayor made the first
haul of nysters. The mayor and cor
poratiOn then consumed gin aud GIN

vailed since the fishery was first
opened under royal charter in the
reign Ol Richard l. telegram ex-
pressing dutiful devotion was sent TO
the king at luncheon afterwards on
Peewit island. The early Saxons so
appreciated the Colchester fishery that
they took three oyster knives for their
arms, and this device still forms the
arms of the county of Essex The
Colchester fishery lost all their con
tinental customers during the war,
but the British public consumed all
that they could supply. They had
most successful seasons, and were able
to give 10000 oysters to military hos
pitfalls.

RELIEF IN TEARS
Weeping of Real Value in the
Life Of Mankind.
Provision of Nature TO Relieve the
Grief-centers Of Their Sensibility
and Fit Nervous Organization
to Endure Sorrow.

German statesmen have shed tears
over the hard terms Of peace imposed
upon them by the allies.
II would not be necessary for one
to be hopelessly cynical to be remind
ed by this incident of the legendary
tears of the crocodile though indeed
sympathetic spirit might be inclined
to rejoice in the spectacle of such
weeping, for Germany's own good say
Ing with the poet: "She must weep,
or she will die"
There are few physical functions
more familiar than the shedding of
tears, and there is probably none more
complex and inscrutable; none more
strangely mingllng spirituality and
science. From. the material point of
view tears are nothing but an excre-
ton of salt water from glands of the
eyes. They consist normally OF the
purest of water with small admixture
of common salt, or chloride of sodium,
such as exists in the blood. In some
abnormal conditions of the body they
contain other chemicals. Thus one
suffering from poisoning with salts
of antimony may shed tears contain
ing that chemical. so that tears them
selves are poisonous and dlabetic pa
tients shed tears containing sugar.
From another point Of view tears
are manifestations of emotion and al
ways spring from the heart That Ia
to say one does not weep because OF
the mental processes OF the brain hut
because of the feelings of the heart.
Even If the tears be hypocritical and
summoned up for an lnsincere purpose
they are produced by the brains work
ing back to the heart and making an
appeal to its emotion. An eminent ac>
tor when asked how he was able TO
shed real tears at will replied that he
did so by calling to remembrance his
father who was dead and whom he
greatly loved.
1t is to be noticed too, that the
nervous eXcitation which results in
tears is caused by grief, but not near
ly so much by actual pain. I'm the days
before the use of anesthetics," SAYS a
great surgical authority, Il have had
patients who We're undergoing opera.
tions faint; ! have heard them cry out
and scream until they made the by |
ISLANDERS sick and pale, but rarely If
ever have they shed tears"
Again. II is observed that tears are |
of much value to the life Of mankind |
That value is not merely in the fact |
that their flow gives relief, but still |
more in the indication that the grief
centers are being reprieved of their
sensibiity and that the nervous organ
izatiOn is being fitted to endure sor-
row with fortitude. "As rule says
a great authority, "the escape and free
escape of tears relieves the heart and
saves the body the shock of grief"
II is obviously we'll, then, that Ger
many should weep. To say that. is
not to eXult in her suffering but rath-
er to rejoice in her relief from it. The
is inevitable as fate. II Is
well that she shall be saved from the
extreme shock of it through recourse

better of the contest.
Mon7ay night was stunt night at the

to put over a very spicy program.
PriSes were offered for expert throat
stretchers and the evening furnished
wealth of efficient contestants.
Everybody had good time and
went to their barracks happy and
with at least a bit more in their
stomachs.
The first feature was a banded
ankle race between Archie, Davis
and Sweeney. Davis coming out the
easy winner. There was a second
race between Archie and Peoples in
which Archie was the victor. The
prizes in both of these contests were
COrby cakes. All of the contestants
manifested a marked interest in the
prizes and strOve hard to win. More
men were anxious to enter, but on
seeing such fellows as Alexander
Davis in the race, felt it out of the
question for any ordinary racer to
try.

Easter services were held in every
part of camp. The Joyous character Of
the day. which was felt on every side,

was an ld-fashioned observance Of
the resurrection of the Savior.

Passover was ushered in and every
thing was ready at the Jewish Welfare
Board hut. Since most of the Jewish
boys were away home on pass. it
looked at first as il no service would
be needed, until, through the Kindness
of the commander of the recruits, per-
mission was given the men Of Jewish
faith to attend services at the build
ing.
Promptly at services were held,
and then the men. fully fifty of them,
recruits and casuals who arrived in
camp too late to go home, marched
into the auditorium. where tables
were set and plenty of homemade
food served to them. through the
kindness of the Baltimore community.
After the men had their fill they
marched to the piano, and the evening
closed with singing and rejoicing. All
pronounced the affair complete sue

Packages of Passover food were
distributed Tuesday to the men of the
hospital and the guardhouse.
The usual weekly dance was held
Thursday at the building, and, al
though no previous announcement was
made to that effect, the building was
filled to its capacity. Music was fur
nished by an orchestra Of four and re-
freshments we're served to alkpresent.
These affairs are proving more popular
every day, and they are keenly antici-
pated by all the men in camp.
Services were held Friday evening.
A party of soldiers were taken to

Welfare Board, 1874 Eutaw place, for

Robert w. Fraker Is Modest About Hi
Services, Which French Recognized
With Military Honors.

1t seems remarkably easy for one to
acquire the coverted French croix de
guerre. according to some of the re-
turned heroes who have been deco
rated. At least Robert W. Fraker of
Plainfield, N. j., protests that he did
nothing that would entitle him to be
so honored, yet he was.
When the great drive was on. he
was with the French at Noyon and
had taken his captain about eleven
kilometerS in advance of the infantry
to the village of Seins. The Ger
mans had retreated from this place
and as the captain and Fraker were
the first of the allied troops to enter
they were besieged by the inhabi-
tants. Fraker says there were a
thousand pretty girls. in this town
and that they all kissed him, for
in Roberts case.
They were then entertained by the
villagers and Robert was having cof-
fee with one of the women when she
casually remarked there was Ger
man machine gunner in the next
room. Fraker Immediately got up to
go when she Informed him the man
was sick. So Fraker went in and
took the machine gunner prisoner
The captain liked things so we'll that
he told Fraker to return and report
that the enemy had retreated from
the town. AS the Germans were now
shelling the village he was very glad
to obey orders. He delivered his
prisoner and then reported to the
commanding officer as ordered by the

For she smiles and looks sweet
When she changes your sheet
And does for you all that she can.
She's an Army nurse.
But when patients get worse
She seems like an angel to me:
And none of them curse
When their heads nearly burst.
But it's she they all want to see.
