BIC BERTHA'S BABY.

As matter of strict accuracy it the
baby OF Big Bertha which did the damage to Paris
but the grsndehid- Mr. Robert Haven Schauffler's
story about it is quoted in the Literary Digest
Forty-ffve degrees is considered the best angle
distance-carrying. Big Bertha shot an angle
OF so degrees.
When the 15-inch shell reached a certain
height the force OF gravity began TO pull it
down. when il reached angle Of 40 degrees,
Il shot a smaller shell-a 9.s shell--whch did
damage when marx.
This theory had already been advanced by
tillery experts. but the objection had always
raised that the shell would
stability enough to fire a second.
The tremendous rotation of the 15-inch
shell. however. when fired at angle OF so
degrees. gave - sufficient stability fire the
second shell. This second shell. being smaller,
carried further by the tremendous velocity
than the larger shell was blown back thereby
reaching unheard-of distance"
All Of this Is interesting, and shows to what
lengths artillery problems been studied n
generation. but It isn't the point of the story
The distance by Bertha's deadly grand
daughter was accident. The Germans had expect

airplanes investigated and found that the shells
from the big gun had landed there Then the de-

How long ago IL all seemsi And how short a time
has really elapsed since the nations we're at each
others throats. Is American to forget it all so
easily-the horror and the danger2 Is she going to

More Truth

LINES By A HOARDER-
1 used to show my liquor stock
To every one that happened in;
The claret, sherry. port and hook
The whisky, brandy. rum and gin,
The Jugs that in the corner sat,
The labelled bottles, row on row,
And chuckle proudly, Look at
that"
But that was very long ago.
When folks invited in TO dine,
Allowed that they W re rather dry,
I trotted out the rarest wine,
I stinted not the Scotch and rye.
And as. about the festal board
The booze and talk began to flow,
Dragged about my cellared hoard
But that was very long ago.
When my relations used 10 moan
That they had not a drop laid by,
And begged me loudly for the loan
of something from my own sup
ply,
Wherewith TO build a week end stew
I couldn't bear 10 tell them Mo-
But sent 'em round a quart or two
But that was very long ago.
But l have had a change Of heart,
My cellars under lock and key,
No pleading friend can ever part
The little I have left and me.

GIRL WATCHED SUB
SINK THE CAROLINA

L.ife's ordinary adventures will
mean little to Jeanne Worth, new
prima donna who has been engaged
for the Peter F. Clark "oh, Girlr'
show at the Gayety Theater this
week. Miss Worth, who came down
from New York the first of the weeI,
for rehearsals with the company. will
make her burlesque debut at the Gay
ETY. tomorrow afternoon.
After Drawing the dangers Of Hun
submarines in Southern seas, seeing
the steamer Carolina torpedoed and
the German U-boat commander
raking the sea with shellflre in an at
tempt to destroy the passengers who
had taken to the lifeboats, Miss
Worth thinks she is able to witness
any sights in the future without
quailing. She was a passenger on a
British liner, between Buenos Aires
and New York, which trailed in the
wake of the Carolina on the voyage
home.
The Carolina fell a victim to the
submarine 900 yards from the liner
on which the Gayety star was a pas
senger. The passengers on this boat
could see plainly the U-boat's efforts
to destroy the passengers who had
taken to the lifeboats from the doom
ed vessel
While in Argentina Miss Worth
sang in concert. She came back to
this country last summer for a tour
in vaudeville. Now she has decided
to cast her lot with burlesque.
Miss Worth is a native of France.
