GAS MEN PLAY A BIG
PART in WINNING WAR

it was confidently declared would
smother the Metz forts.
Upon these 800 acres have been con-
structed large number of immense
chemical plants with the necessary ad-
juncts, all on an extensive scale, con-
nected by 35 miles of railway, oper-
ated by United States army crews,
working three shifts a day. At first
it was attempted to run the arsenal
with civilian labor, but the hazardous
character of the employment made this
class of employee so uncertain, al
though fancy wages were offered, that
it became necessary to use enlisted
men exclusively throughout the plant.
The result has been that work of
a highly specialized nature and extra
hazardous has been done by men re-
ceiving from $50 a month up, and un-
der rigorous military discipline.
The research laboratory work of the
arsenal has been highly fruitful and
the gases of the Germans are said to
be mild in comparison with the more
terrible products Of Edgewood, of
which the Germans had only got a
foretaste when the armistice was
signed.

SOIL FROM
FRANCE
Earth for Filling Purposes
About Statue of Liberty

Here is a striking instance of thrift
manifesting itself in poetical justice.
The tiny island il. New York harbor
on which stands Bartholdi's Statue OF
Liberty is being enlarged. The soil
used for filling-in purposes comes
from France. 1t is the debris from
the trenches, military railway lfnes'
warehouses and wharves. 1t was
brought to America as ballast for the
transports that carried our mighty le-
gions of liberty to France.
Thus is mingled the soil of the two
republics as a setting for the worlds
most typical symbol of liberty, just as
the bodies of thousands of American
sons are today mingled with the soil
of France under the crosses where
they lie. In this humble yet beautiful
demonstration of the kindred ideals
of the two nations, American thrift,
which did so much to make victory
possible, was the underlying impulse.

already tearing down the houses and
building the tracks for the miniature

be removed to allow for the new cut

the river is moved from it's present
bed and is forced to flow through the
cuttings we shall have reclaimed
much valuable land. 1t will then be

M'NULTYS' DEEDS WIN

Observation-Disclosures in the name
McNulty?
The encyclopedia is silent concern
ing its origin, but two marines of that
name, who probably did not even know
one another, had lives that were near
ly parallel to one another, and both
distinguished themselves as heroes on
the battlefields of France. Which is
indicative that the same fighting blood
courses in the veins of these McNultys
from an ancestry that was doubtlessly
Irish.
Their names were nearly alike
Thomas John McNulty and John Nc
Nulty. They were both in the be-
ginning of their forties-they were
both in the marine corps-they were
both first sergeants-and both had
eseen 10 years of service under the
Stars and Stripes. Moreover, both
fought in the same battles in France
and both were seriously wounded.

FOR POULTRY
GROWERS

The farmers of the United States
lose each year large sums because OF
improper methods of producing ana
handling eggs. One-third of this loss
is easily preventable. 1t is due to the
martial Matching of fertile eggs, ac-
cording to the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The eggs laid by a hen may De
either fertile or infertile, depending
on whether or not the male bird has
been allowed to run with the female.
A fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fertilized by the male bird.
Except for this process of fertilization
the male bird has no influence upon
the eggs which the hens lay. Egg pro-
ductfon is equally great in focks from
which roOsters are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an tpfertfIe oue because the fertil-

the son of George II and a German
princess. Though he traced back to
the Stuarts, and so to the Scotch, he
was of German stock. The house of
Hanover was distinctly German.
George III, however, was far more Eng
lish than his predecessors of the same
line. He was very largely Of German
blood; what the percentage is it would
be hard to say. The present king Of
Great Britain is a son of Edward VII,
who was son of Queen Victoria, who
was a granddaughter of George III.
He is thoroughly English, though he is
a cousin of the former kaiser. The
German strain has pretty well worked
itself out of the house of Hanover,
which, by the way, is now the house
of Windsor.

Ohio Shakers Producers of
First Poland China Hoqs

The Poland-China hog originated in
Butler and Warren counties, Ohio. In
1916 the Society of Shakers, in War
ren county, brought some breeding
hogs from Philadelphia. Some of them
were pure white and others white
with black spots. They were repre-
sented to the Shakers as of pure Chi
nese blood and were called Big Chi
mas. In 1872 a committee of the Ma
tiOnal Swine Breeders congress report
ed against the theory that Chinas had
been crossed with Polands, but as the
name Poland-China was in general
use advised that it be retained.

parallel was that both distinguished
themselves as heroes almost at the
same time. John was awarded the
distinguished service cross and Thom-
as was cited for distinguished service.
But here the parallel ceases and
things begin to take opposites. Thom-

it was at the other side of the conti-

Thomas John McNulty won his fame
and subsequent citation. He led his
company of men in a daring charge
across field of poppies against Bel

guns poured death into their midst.
His grim shouts of encouragement
cheered them on to victory until his
voice was silenced by lead and he fell
seriously wounded amid the blossoms.
But his was hardihood that could
not die by any sudden means. Upon
his recovery he joined a replacement

Extraordinary Heroism.
First Sergt. John McNulty was
awarded his cross for extraordinary
heroism in the fighting between Blanc
Mont and Saint Etienne. Under a
heavy artillery and machine-gun fire
that rolled forward with a. German
counter-attack he stuck by his machine
gun. Every man of his gun crew was
shot down beside him, but he stuck.
Shot after shot burrowed its way into
his vitals, but still he stuck to his ma
chine gun with tenacity that could
only be broken with death and a re-
gard that he did not have for his life.
1t was at moment when it seemed
that his iron power of will was soon
to have no living body to direct that
the German attack was beaten off, and
First Sergeant McNulty laid his head
on the ground exhausted. Even then
he stuck by his gun, and it was only
when ordered to the rear by his COM
manding officer that he finally retired.
'He was an inspiring example to his
men," according to memoranda in con-
nection with his being awarded the
distinguished service cross.

'How much have they borrowed

The Washington times., 1919-11-08
By L. J. FAULKNER.

There is considerable comment among auto and
dealers what has been termed laxlty the part
the District Commissioners relative to the of
definite standard of auto lenses to conform with the anti
glare law.
At the last meeting of the Washington Automotive
Trade Association this matter taken up and warmly
discussed
resolution was adopted for presentation to the Com
miss;oners urging that action be taken.
There are now on sale in Washington approximately
thirty different makes of lenses Some, but by means
ALL of these have passed the necessary test required
various States and have been officially ndorsed by the
States but these lenses have not been passed in
Washington.
The result is that the are completely at
loss to what lens to buy to protect themselves against
being held up by vigilant "cop.'
Nearly every night stopped and repri-
and what the driver firmly believed anti glare one
fully within the law
Many of these lenses have been universally ndorsed by
various States and obviously unfair that an
after paying from So to $40 for pair of lenses should find
himself Sin Dutch" for using them
In most States the law requirement is that lens to
inspection, must not cast beam of Light more than
forywo to fory inches above the ground and that it
should be properly focused and absolutely gareess when
full electric power being delivered and be subject to an
increase at the wishes of the owner
1t is high time something done to remedy this un-
anty and for the public to be informed officially what
is and what is not lawful lens.
Captain Headly, of the traffic squad has been taking
considerable action lately along this lne and it to be
hoped that the committee who have charge of passing
these lights will emil ghten autoss as to WHEN AN
ANTIGLARE is NOT AN ANTIGLARE.
