Runs Her Own canteen.

Mrs. Scott Lee, an aged negro wOm-
an, is happy because she has found a
way at last to cheer the soldiers on
their way as they pass through here en-
route from camp to coast for overseas
service, according TO an Ashtabula dis
patch to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mrs. Lee, who lives near a railroad
track, looked wistfully at the troop
trains as they sped through, wondering
: If there was any way in which she
could make a long trip more pleasant
for the men. But the trains went
through so fast she almost despaired
until she finally hit upon a scheme that
works to perfection. She got a long
pole, and to it she fastens bundles of
magazines and lunches, and as the
trains whiz past she stands on the
station platform and reaches her gifts
to the men as they lean from the car
windows.

he is unlikely to come to any harm in

Monster Vessel Had to Be
Turned on Its Side to Pass
Through the WeIIand Canal

That ships were cut in two in oruer
to get them out of the Great Lakes
and into transatlantic service when the
var put its tremendous demand on
American shipping is commonly
known but the expedient adopted to
get the giant Charles r. Van Hise
through the Welland canal attracted
little attention. This vessel was of too
wide a beam to pass through the We'll
land canal. It was floated through
by turning it on its side.
The Charles r. Van Hise is a 9,000,-
ton freighter, twice as large as any
of the other vessels taken from the
Great Lakes. The locks of the Wei
land canal are 260 feet long and A
feet wide. Besides cutting the Van
Hise in two, it was necessary to turn
her on her side, and then she had only
eight inches of clearance. This plan
for handling large ships on the lakes
was devised by F. A. Eustis and car
ried out by the shipping board en-
gineers.
Six pontoon tanks were placed on the
forward section of the Van Hise. The
tanks, when filled, held about 500 tons
of water. The pumps were put to work,
filing the tanks, steam being furnished
by the tugs. 1t required about five
hours to fill the tanks, when the bow
section of the vessel had rolled over
perfectly on it's side.
The forward section was towed
from Buffalo to Port Colborne, Canada,
the entrance to the Welland canal.
She was then towed into the first lock
and the gates were closed, which re-
vealed the project was a success.

Africans Always Eager to
Don Discarded Finery Cast
Off by NOtabIeS of London

There is a clothes dealer in Lon
don who for q long time has made it
his speciality TO purchase snowy cos
TUNES and discarded uniforms for dis
posal in the Orient and Africa.
1t is said that even the retiring
lord mayors of London have become
this dealers customers, and that the
cooked hat. gold laced coat and knee
breeCheS that have formed an inSpir-
ing feature of the lord mayors pro
ceSSions are, as like as not the next
year to delight the eyes of darkest
Africa upon the proud person of some
native.
Amusing comments have been made
by this dealer with reference TO the
eagerneSS with which the native in
the interior of Africa takes over this
discarded tinery. He says that at the
haZaarS where his goods are pur-
chased he has seen blacks solemnly
walking around with waistcoatS but
toned behind instead of before, and
men even wearing women's costumes
Big fellows have been seen in clothes
SO small that one could not imagine
how they got into them nor how they
could set out unless the stitching
gave way.
II is related that the Prince de Join
Vile, when of the Gaboon coast, once
received ON his ship an official visit
from two chiefs, father and son, who
must have been customers of the Lon
don dealer. Each owned for ceremo-
nial purposes a military uniform.
That of the father was an English
generals, while that of the son was
a huSSar's. The intricate cut of the
sons uniform, with its numerous but
tons, straps and buckles together with
the painfully small size, proved too
much for him. He sent the prince a
despairing message imploring help and
a relief party of delighted mdShipmen
was sent to dress him and to bring him
aboard.

Express and Implied Powers
of Congress as Interpreted
by the u. S. Supreme Court

The express powers of congress are
those which are expressly granted by
the Constitution of the United States
and the implied powers are whatever
is necessary, under the Constitution,
to give force and effect to its express
powers. In determining what acts are
necessary and proper in the exercise
of expressly enumerated powers an in
depreciation has been applied by the
supreme court itself. Chief Justice
Marshall, in an early decision. said:
LET the end be legitimate, let 1t be
within the scope of the Constitution,
and all means which are appropriate,
which are plainly adapted to that end,
which are not prohibited but consist
with the letter and spirit of the Con-
stitution are constitutional" Thus
the supreme court held that under the
taxing and borrowing power congress
may charter a federal bank and ex-
empt its notes from state taxation; or
create a system of national banks and
levy a prOhibitive tax upon the issues
of state banks; or issue paper money
and make it a legal tender for all
debts. Similarly, the power given con-
greSS to regulate commerce has been
held to authorize legislation concern
ing navigation, pilotage. the tranSpor-
tation of goods and passengers be
tween the states of the union, the re-
stricting or prohibiting of foreign i'm
migration, etc. Thus almost every
constitutional grant of express power
to congress has been held to carry
with it an implied grant of necessary
powers to give effect to the express
grant.

Telephone Girls Must Have
the Foundation of Singing
Voice, Music Teacher Says

Has the telephone girl the sweetest
singing voice? Judging from inquiries
among well-known singing masters,
the opinion seems to be that the
telephone, in regard TO voice prOduc-
ton and development, is of great
value.
zone has only to compare the sing
ing Of years ago." one Of these teach
ers said with that of the present
day to realize this. There may have
been much music in the singing Of the
past, but there was certainly little
cIearness. People did not realize the
value Of each word, and the care that
should be taken to enunciate each syl-
liable"
Nowadays, when the telephone is
one Of the pivots of our daily life,
the necessity to speak clearly and dis
tinctly is obvious. "The telephone
girl, who is at her instrument all day,
most certainly possesses the founda-
ton of a good singing voice" said
one master, "and probably there are
many Melbas and Calves among them"

It used to be thought that sleep hap
pened because the circulation Of blood
through the brain grew 50 feeble that
this. the seat Of consciousness, could
work no longer and sleep took place.
Many years ago a surgeon study
ing the subject watched the failing cir
culatiOn of the brain through hole in
the skull of a sleeping animal. Yet
this is only effect, not cause. The
brain has less blood because it sleeps; /;
1t does not sleep because If has less
blood.

Advice for Singers.

Sims Reeves, the famous English
tenor, is quoted as saying: "a singer
who does not recite or read the
verses Of a song aloud before at
tempting the music will never become
great artist" The young singer
should memOrize a text, should repeat
it over and over aloud, testing the
matter of emphasis or stress upon
each word to determine just where it
should be and the proper amount TO
give the best Interpretation to the
thought.

Carrier PIGEON Mystery.

The authorities of Albany, Ore, and
everywhere else are trying to decipher
this message:
"P-n-7-3-a-r-ll-w."
1t was written on a piece Of note
paper brought here by a strange car
rier pigeon, which died very soon after
1t was found on the street.
The bird was identified as a species
OF California desert quail, not found in
any part of Oregon save possibly in
the southeastern portion. The bird
refused food and water and was ex-
hauSted.
A piece of string which bound the
message to the birds leg was olive
drab In color and might have been un-
-aveled from an army uniform.
