OLD ST. JOHNS

This commencement day at
St. Johns College is marked with
events Of extraordinary distlnc-
ton that will give IT a place on
the brightest pages OF its already
glorious history, A tablet will
be unveiled to the twcnty-four
alumni who lost their lives in
the World War out OF the hun
dreds of sons of the college who
were in all branches OF the serv-
ice overseas and at home. and
Ambassador Jusserand will pre-
sent the college with memento
from the French Government.
This will be in the form OF a
German gun captured by the
French Army. given to St. Johns
in appreciation of the co-opcra-
ton of its sons in the late war.
No greater bond exists be
tween France and any American
educational institution than that
which binds St Johns and
France On the college grounds
sleep the heroic Frenchmcn who
came with Lafayette and Roch-
ambeau and died i'll camp in An
napolis in the Yorktown year and
whose memories will ever be
held sacred in the land they

Poor Packing Causes Waste.

Few persons considering the cost OF
living realize that more than $10000O.-
600 is added to the cost of their food,
clothing and other necessities each
year because of the waste caused Ivy
damage, unscientific loading and the
tremendous cost of packing these
commodities. The railroads and thu
shippers realize 1t. as shown by their
conducting a campaign to reduce ro
the minimum the waste through DAM
age. and to utilize to the utmost the
capacity of freight cars, which are
hauled half empty.
These are some of the items which
enter into this waste estimate-dam-
age and theft, $100.00O,0O0; wasted
lumber used only once in packing
cases. S240000.000; empty car space,
So09.O00,0O0: and the staggering cost
TO the railroads of hauling half empty
cars more than 60O0,000000 miles,
S157 100000. 1t is estimated that from
10 TO - per cent of the cost of food
stuffs goes TO pay for the crates
which are thrown away.

nEIower OF the peuiln

"Flower of the Devil is a strange
growth upon trees found on the sides
of Fuego volcano in Guatemala, one
of the few places in the world where
it is known TO occur. 1t has beautiful
foliation, veining and stem, and appears
fun blown when just unfolding FROM
the bud. This effect is formed by a
parasite which enters the wood and
dies after eating portions of it away,
Il process which in time produces the
results described. Tradition, however,
ascribes a different origin. Years ago,
when the Spaniard ruled the country,
a fair Indian maiden was supposed
10 have betrayed certain tribal Sc
crets to her white lover. Her people
threw her into the fiery water of Fuego
in expiation of her sin, and once every
year, on Midsummer's day, she APP
pears TO throw ;rInfuls of the DEVILS
flowers over the mountains slopes
a solemn warning To all of the sane
tity of tribal secrets.

Biz RaiInnader,s Hobby.

Carl II. Gray. the new president OF
the Union Pacific system. has one
hobby-that is his family in which
he takes the greatest interest and
pride. "When his two boys. who are
now at college. were attending pre-
paratory school at Baltimore" says j.
G. Donley, Jr.. in Forbes Magazine,
"he never missed baseball or foot
ball game in which the school team
participated unless he was away from
home And he knew every boy on the
teams by his first name. One of his
greatest delights was to get out on
the baseball field on summer evening
and bat flies to his boys. When not
on the road or in his office, he spends
all of his time with his family"

BIG GUNS MUST Be MOBILE
Otherwise in Future Wars They viii
Be Quickly Wiped Out II "Spot-
ted" From Above.

While the war was in progress new
military inventions and improvements
were for obvious reasons kept secret
in America. Now, however, they are
beginning to leak out.
For example. there is new 14-lnch
gun, which is called pride of the
army" All big guns in future will
be made mobile ION rails or drawn by
gasoline tractors), because otherwise
they would invite their own destruc-
ton. with the help of sporting" air
planes they might be quickly wiped
out.
The guns which now defend Amer
lean seacoast forts are stationary, and
the big ones of no larger caliber than
II inches. They are TO be replaced
by 14-inch rifles on mobile mounts. and
IL is manifest the plans of the fOrtif-
cations will have TO be altered.
Newest American battleships carry
14-inch guns, which have been deemed
the most effective weapons of their
type in the world. Some of them did
duty on land in France toward the
end of the war. But this new rifle On
product of army ordnance experts
best ingenuity is superior in several
respects. 1t will throw n shell 30
miles.

Perfect Human Elnure.

There is much difference of opinion
on the subject of perfect human meas
urements, but according to Professor
Sergeant, one of the best known au-
thoritles on the health Of the Ameri-
can woman, the following measure
ments constitute the perfect figure:
Height. 63.6 inches; breadth of neck,
3.S inches; girth of neck, 12.1 inches !;
breadth of shoulders, IA inches;
breadth of waist, &c inches; girth of
waist, 24.6 inches; breadth of hips,
12.1 inches: girth Of hips, 35.4 inches I;
girth of calf, 1873 inches; girth of up.
per arm. 10.1 inches; girth of thigh,
OLA inches, and of forearm, % inches
Many other authorities insist that
woman should measure in height ;
feet five inches, or an inch and one
half taller than Professor Sargeants

the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
A sable pail of smoke from the fun

according to the Seattle mariners.
Knights peak, a neighboring vol

ular efforts by the outburst of its more
deadly companion, and wreaths or

>AIrmen Guide Cavalry.

While the Fourteenth cavalry was
on the march recently from Fort Sam
Houston, Tex, to Fort Ringgold, Tex.
an aviator, who CHANGED to pass over
their heads, acted as their volunteer
guide.
The observer in the airplane saw
that. instead of the Trio City road.
they were following what is known as
the Somerset road. He advised them
of their error by message dropped
in front of the moving column, and
the troop detoured to the correct road.
The air-service officers reported the
incident to the chief of operations at
Kelly field upon their arrival. and .
minutes later a map showing the
route TO their destination, Fort Ring
gold, was dropped in the middle of
the marching column.

Submarine Radio.

The last annual report of the bu-
reau of standards states that members
of the bureaus staff have developed
very successful methods of communi-
eating with submerged submarines by
autobiography. With a single-turn
coil or loop attached to the outside OF
the submarine, signals can be received
as well when the vessel is submerged
as when 1t is at the surface. 1t IS
also possible to transmit from a sub
merged submarine n distance of II
miles. Thus it becomes possible for
ship and a submarine to exchange
recognition signals. A coil aerial Is
a satisfactory direction finder when
submerged and readily receives signals
transmitted thousands of miles, just
the same as when used in the air. The
navy has equipped its larger subma-
rines with this apparatus.-Scientlh

AUDIT ANXIOUSLY AWAITED

Whether the State Roads
Commission has any unobligated
funds is a question now being as
oertained by the State auditor.
Yesterday the new Roads Com
mission held its second meeting,
and at its close Governor Richie
said that the condition of the
books and accounts of the office
are "deplorable." and that the ex-
act condition Of the Commissions
fiscal affairs cannot be known un-
Ill the audit. which is of the most
searching character. is complet-
ed. Instead of the Commission
having "a million dollars for road
work" it is said that the audit
may show it has nothing.
The blame for the situation is
being placed on bad bookkeeping.
The announcement, however,
that with the change in the
Roads Commission, neither the
old nor the new body is able to
tell where it is at" until the
completion of an audit, comes As
a surprise to the people OF the
State 1t has always been the
boast of the Weller-Zouck man
agement of State road construc-
ton and maintenance that mil
lions Of dollars of the States
money have been spent without
graft. This is undoubtedly true.
but that there should have arisen
any question at this time as TO
the eminently accurate and bust
neSS-like administration of the
road funds will tend TO create
anxiety on the part of the public,
which it is to be hoped will be
completely allayed when the re-
suit OF the audit is announced.

visit To the country. He was much

but not with the work which brought
the returns. He studied the occupa-

see what part of it was easiest. And
one day he discovered what he
thought was.

Among the natural guardians of the

gather their food as they creep round

of the woodpecker is nearly as abund-

seldom migratory. They never forage

thus better their fare. They bear the
same relation to other birds that take
their food from trees as snipes and

wood as the snipe bores into the
earth, while thrushes and quails seek
their sustenance on the surface Of
