Well, The censorship has been
raised at last, and I hardly know
where to begin. Can't write much

70 give you a general idea of my
whereabout and doings for the last

day or two off Newport, then for

was line OF boats across the
Straits OF Otranto. the narrow neck
through which al boats must pass
TO enter or leave the Adriatic sea.
As practically all the enemy sub
marine bases for operations in the
Mediterranean were in the Adriatic,
this barrage was formidable OBJ
stacle i'm the way OF their undersea
campaign. as YOU can imagine. We
had means OF detecting the ap-
proach OF the subs miles away. and
OF locating them exactly without ev-
or seeing them. Once located, they
received the benefit OF from twelve

we have the testimony Of Austrian

MRS. MAUD DARLINGTON BOOTH.

High among the names of women
who have appeared upon the lecture
platform is that of Maud Darlington
Booth, who has gained wide fame be-
cause of her work among the unfortu-
nate in the prisons.
Her story of prison work is always
interesting, but this year Mrs Booth
comes to her audiences with still
other experiences TO tell about. Dur
ing the great war she went TO France
and worked among the American sol
diers, and her lectures are sure to
be enriched by this background.
Most people know of the work which
Mrs. Booth has done under the aus
pices of the Volunteer Prison League,
which she founded and sustains. More
than $1,000 men while serving prison
sentences have ascribed their com
plete regeneration to the work carried
on by the league and are still its loyal
supporters.
National prison reforms have been
promoted and number of splendid
and valuable rural properties in widely
separated states. temporary homes for
discharged prisoners, have been ac-
CURED equipped and are now in opera

1t will be remembered the county
board raised the valuation of the city
of Mineral Point $3.50, 900 over that of
the preceding year. This seemed un-
lust and an appeal was made to the
state tax commission in March. In
August said commission set to work re-
viewing the assessments of taxable
property in all districts of the county,
as demanded by said appeal. AS re-
suit our city has been lowered S270, 900
from the boards unreasonable idea of
equalization and our rate of the total
valuation of the county is Z 2 per cent.
This is notable victory for our city
and all must concede that Attorney
Priestley and the city officials in gener-
al are entitled to special credit.

support Of her Hope Halls" the finan-
cial burden of which rests on her
shoulders with well-nigh overwhelming
responsibility. Mrs. Booths addresses

This amount was necessary to meet the
existing liabilities and to restore the
county's credit by withdrawing from
circulation the vast issues of this and
previous years. The simple reason for
this embarrassment is that the expenses
have exceeded the revenue.
A part of Saturday the streets were

First Clocks Simple Affairs.

The first clocks were simple affairs
which showed the hour alone; then
followed the addition of the minute
hand, and later came clocks which re-
corded the day of the month, the
phases of the moon, and many other
pieces of information generally of a
more or less astronomical character
During the sixteenth century, the Ital-
ian and German clockmakers, notably
those of Nuremberg and Augsburg
made great progress in their art.
There are those who claim that one
Richard Harris, an Englishman, in
vented and set up the earliest pendu-
lum clock some time during the first
four decades Of the seventeenth cen
tury but this story does not appear
to be well authenticated, and the
honor of introducing the pendulum
seems to belong to the Dutchman,
Huygens.
