ONE OF WARS MASTER MINDS
Britain Owes Deep Debt Of Gratitude
to Patrick Quinan, Of Whom
Little 10 Known.

One Of the most vital and at the
same time mysterious figures in the
war on the British side was Patrick
Quinan, an American of Irish descent.
Vital because he planned all the great
munition works which enabled Great
Britain to supply not only her own
but her allies needs in. munitions
mysterious because his name was
never allowed to be mentioned during
the war and because he would never
be interviewed.
Mr.. Quinan reached England by way
of South Africa. Trained at du Points,
he went to the South African Explo.
sives company at Cape Town, then the
largest in the British empire, owing to
the demand for explosives for mining
purposes. The vast factories laid out
In England during the war-now some.

Quinan.
Quinan Is just over 40 years Of age,
and since the close of the war has dis
appeared. His name was never in any
"honor list'-which is rather dis
tinction these times. He was never
given any public recognition by any
member of the government or the
army. Still no one man did as much
to help win the war as this retiring

A piece Of drudgery that has been
assigned to machine labor Is applying
stucco. A new electric machine, with
blades making $500 revolutions per

Of moisture is squeezed out behind it,

SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat Which
Clogs Kidneys, Then the
Back Hurts

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need flushing occas-
ionally, else we have backache and
dull misery in the kidney region, Sc
we're headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless-
ness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the mo-
ment you feel an ache, or pain in the
kidney region, get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from any good drug store
here, take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and is harmless
to flush clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to normal activity. It also
neutralizes the acids in the urine so
it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive
makes delightful effervescent )ithia-
water drink when everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious
complications.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trou-

Saw Grizzly Bear.

Banff, Can.-Bert Thompson stopped
with some of the boys for little while
on his way home from work. It was
dark when he climbed on to the b.
cycle and began pedaling hard to get
home in time for supper. He had a
fleeing glance Of dark object ahead
just a second before he struck it and
was thrown to the pavement. When he
sat up, rubbing his head, big grizzly
bear was looking down at him. Bert
said they looked at each other and
then both went away from the place
as fast as they could.

Of desolation and sad.

surroundings Of desolation and sad
ness.
The problem in France Is not oply
the low birth rate, but the dreadful
infant mortality. The American COM
mittee Is doing prenatal work as well
as child hygiene, but to carry this on
with the thoroughness and extent
that should bring the best results a
large sum of money must be raised.
The child work is divided into the
two phases Of mental and physical aid.
Trying to Equip Schools.
To equip q schoolhouse with suffi-
cient books for the winters work $50
Is sufficient. To completely equip the
schoolhouse with benches and desks,
maps, blackboards, stationery, etc.,
$500 is needed.
Besides the schools carried on I'M
der government supervision there are
now established in some villages kim
dergarten work, domestic science work
and manual training. Any donations
marked for education will be turned
into this fund to bring back to normal
mentality the children who have run
wild and neglected since before the
war.
Compulsory education in France
ceases when the pupil is fourteen.
Boys and girls Of fourteen have no
more schooling than they had five
years. ago. Children Of ten have not
yet learned to read and write. Ba-
bies of five years old think war Is the
natural state Of affairs. All the chill
dren are undernourished. Not one in
the district knows the taste Of fresh
milk.
The children here were, before the
war, the finest physical type France
produced. The climate is bracing and
there was an abundance Of butter,
milk and eggs. The poorest family
owned a goat, chickens and rabbits;
the Weather families had many cows.
All Of this live stock the Germans
took, and the children and nursing
mothers were deprived Of protein,
without which there is no growth.

Irvine Trait Leads to
Recovery Of Cash Box

Conneaut, GA ball Of store
Irvine led to the finding of a
cash register containing $40
which burglars stole from q local
meat market. When the proprie-
tor was called to the door from
his bed upstairs by knock he
was struck by a brick hurled
through a window.
He was only slightly injured
and ran out the door to search
for an officer. When he and the
policeman returned the cash reg
lister was gone.
The burglars abandoned it in
a gulley several rods away after
trying in vain to open it. The
Irvine was carried all the way,
unraveling from the store, and
led to finding the cash box.

ANOTHER WILL-O-WISP

j. Cloyd Byars, of Richmond, a
former State senator and brother
in-law of former Judge John W.
Price, prominent lawyer in Wash
ington with Offices in the Southern
Building, is the leader of a move
ment looking to the retrocession OF
Alexandria to the District of CO.
lumbia.
Robert n. Harper. pres:dont CT
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce, will go in session with Mr..
Byars over this project.
Mr.. Byars recently laid the mat
ter before. the Fine Arts Commits
sion and stated yesterday that he
expected to take the matter up with
all of the prominent business men
in Washington with the view OF
launching definite movement for
the restoration of the District as
provided for by the constitution.
If the State of Virginia resists
the cession back to the District, as
he said they were sure to do, he is
willing to back legal proceedings to
declare the original cession uncon-
stitutional.
There is reason for all this, and
it is apparent at present. In the
early forties, when the people OF
Alexandria-that is large major
ity Of them-grew weary of form
ing part of the population of the
District Of Columbia and sighed for
a renewal of their allegiance to the
Old Dominion, it was urged that
the government had placed no fede
raj building upon the south side of
the Potomac, nor was there any
likelihood it would. Alexandria was
but q part of the tail Of the kite of
the District Of Columbia 1t is not
so now. Alexandria has made
great advance during the past two
years, important industries have
been located here and the popula-
ton increased. Hence the people
Of the District are looking with
covetous eyes upon our old town.
We are following the even tenor
of our way. and. like the late South
ern Confederacy. ask to be let
alone.

Final decision on similar appeal

time for Harry Weinberger, attor-
ney for the two radicals, to complete

denied request for bail in this
case.
