Making Shrapnel.

New inventions have been made by
Americans, and American machine
tools for shell making have been sent
to Europe and are used in the factories
there. The number of shells Of shrnp-
mel made in this country is almost be-
yond computation. Long before we en-
tered the war our different factories
were turning out hundreds of thou
sands of shrapnel week, and 1t was
due to this demand for munitions that
enabled us to turn out the big product
we are now making. This is so not
only Of shrapnel, but Of powder and
explosives Of all kinds. Before the war
one company was making about 400
GOO pounds of military powders per
annum, another was turning out 800
12-inch shells per day. and third
making 100000 loaded time fuses q
month. The orders Of the allies ran
into many hundreds of millions of dol
lars and 1t is said that almost $1,000

MEMORIAL
DAY.

S For loyal Americans, without regard
TO lineage or political faith, Memorial
day has sacred meaning,-it is a day
On which deeds of heroism are remem-
bered and day on which the men who
fought for national solidarity are hon
ored for the services they rendered the
republic.
There has been and still is much talk
of the war; but it may be fairly
doubted whether the American people
fully realize the colossal heroism Of the
struggle, or the profound significance Of
the result. It is a popular habit to as
sumo that the republic began with the
Declaration Of Independence. No effort
need be made to impair the supreme
value Of that sacred document. It
would be the coarsest kind of profana-
ation to speak irreverently Of that fine
and patriotic pronouncement; yet it
only began the processes Of national
evolution. The work was continued in
the Philadelphia convention, but the ma
tion was not perfected until the time Of
Abraham Lincoln, whose gentle life fell
IN = period Of our history when it was
most needed. s
The men who will actively participate
in the ceremonies Of today needed Linz
coin e command, and saved the, repub-
He from erring friends who sought to,
destroy it. It was q noble service and
the men who rendered it cannot be too
long remembered, too much praised, or
TOO highly honored. .3{s

GRIZZLY BROOKS NO RIVAL
Testimony Of Hunters Proves That He

foes in ambush as preliminary to

MED. The mountain cat is coward.
Once. he said, he had put out a dead
horse for their bait, and watched from
a tree two lions feeding on the carcass.
A grizzly (called silvertip by the,
hunters) approached, shouldered in be-
tween the lions and began to feed also.
As one fat grizzly can take up consid-
cradle room the lions resented this
third party at the feast and drew off
snarling. Then one of them came back
and evidently clawed the intruder or
hit it. The bear, which had one fore
paw employed, swung with the other,
caught the lion tremendous blow and
knocked him so feet down the slope
Then Mr.. Silvertip resumed his repast
as If nothing had happened. He did
not even look around to see how far
the lion fell or what he was going to
do when he got up. Evidently the bear
felt quite sure Of his position. He was
justified in this confidence, for the lion
rose and with his mate sulked, snarl-

Of other hunters that the grizzly is su-

Tragedy Of French Trees.

Broken homes, ruined factories,
shattered churches, violated graves, It
had seemed to me we had rung all the
changes on the destruction of war.
But there remained one-the tragedy
of the trees. You can rebuild houses,
churches. towns even-for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or-
chards of fruit trees and avenues Of
great shade trees-for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled punches OF brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards.
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but white-topped
stumps. They say that when the
warm spring came. some Of those or
chard trees. lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then-just before they died-bloomed
once again for France.-Inez Haynes

Praised for Devotion to Duty.

When the city Of Norfolk, Va, was
threatened with the complete destruc-
ton by fire of it's thriving business
section early in January, every avail
able fire-fghting force at hand and
from nearby towns was called into the
battle. At the height of the fire the
enlisted men of the United States
navy on duty at the navy yard and in
the harbor were called on to help not
only in subduing the flames but con-
trolling the crowds. To man they
gave a splendid account Of themselves.
Among these men was John Joseph
Mclaughlin, chief boatswain's mate.
Although he had worked all night, had
narrow escapes and was drenched to
the skin with ice-cold water, McLough-
lin declined relief when 1t was Of
fered and remained on duty continue
ously until the danger was passed.
For this conspicuous service he has
been commended by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. Mclaughlin enlisted
In the navy in 1908 at New York.

About Rheumatism.

People are learning that it is only a
waste of time and money to take medi-
cine internally for chronic and muscular
rheumatism, and about ninety nine out
of a hundred cases are one or the other
of these varieties. All that is really
necessary to afford relief is to apply
Chamberlain g Liniment freely. Try it..
It costs but 35 cents per bottle. Large

He had been one Of a party who

capture every single man and boy who

had worked to build. First they broke
up all the interchangeable how Of the
happening is immaterial; the most
them best. Then they poured benzine
from the roofs Of factories down their
walls and set them alight, they dug
trenches round the watts and started
blazing channels Of flame toward the
reservoirs. These blew up each in turn,
and SCOT and flames made of what had
