 Among the many incidents of Keroism of patriotic American women dufing the war of the Revolution, especially among the settlers on our frontier, that of Eli zabeth Zane ranks as one of the most daring.
 In 17s1, Wheeling, nov the capital of West Virginia, was besieged by 9 large army of British and Indians. So sudden ly was the attack made that there was no time afforded for preparation. The manded by Col. Silas Zane and Col Eb- enezer Zane the senior officer, was in blockhouse some fifty CT 9 hundred yards outside the wall.
 The enemy had made several desperate assaults to break into the fort, but on every onset they were driven back. The ammunition for the defence of the fort was deposited in the block house, and the attack was made So suddenly and unex- pectsdly that theFe vas 10 time to re- neEe t.

DEALING WITH Y4P

From Europe have come replies to the note of Secretary Hughes regarding the Island of Tap which indicated more ar iess approval of the contentious of thi; government, although the indications are that the attitude of Japan would he awaited before making further reply.
 Japan by its reply takes the position that t IS entitled to the control of Yap under the authority conferred upon it bv the council and that it regards the Unit ed States in the position of being obliged to show that it has reason for making any claim at this time and also to show that the United States through President Wilson maaa any reservation regard;ng the disposition of Tan.
 It is to be realized that while we are opposed to the continuance of the con nol of Tap by the Japanese, the post. hon is not taken that Japan is respon- sible for it, but that the council of the league is for taking such action in view of the attitude taken by President Will son at that time, and for disregardine the sfact that the United States had a right to it's interests in such nandated territory, because of it's participation in  tie war, and the disposition of that in. .terest was made without authority from this government
 The fact that the action taken regard ing Tap occurred some time ago does not right the wrong. Neither does fl justify the course that was followed The United States takes the position that it has not surrendered it's rights anc insists upon respect for them from those countries which had part with it ir winning the war and which presumed t, act in disposing of its interests withou authorization.
 Japan may be more directly concerned over the Tap mandate but it is to be re ilized that 1t was given it by others ant t is to the others with Japan included that the injustice that has been done tc tbis country has been pointed out, ant 1t IS all and not Japan alone, that mus act upon it along. with ourselves.

Ths Air VI, Brssths.

The report just issued of the in- Yestlsstion. carried out by the Indusir- ial Fatigne Research Board should give the death-blov to the common belief that the depressing feeling peo- pie expeFienee when in 9 badly ventll- ated room is due to an excess of car bonic-acid gas in the air.
 Very careful analysis of such air has proved that there is never sufficient carbo1ie e-acid gas present ta be harm full The trouhle Is due almost entire ly to the temperature and moisture content of the air in such places. and the unpleasant smell, usually attribut- ed 10 the presence of poisonous" gas. arises from minute particles of matter eypded from the body and furniture under such condition.
 It would require at least per cent. of csrbopic-aeid gas to render air poi sqnous, and it would be necessary to make a room absolutely afr tight, so that no fresh air whatever could enter, before that percentage would be pos sible. It was the excessive heat, and net the poisonous air. which killed the victims of the Black Hole of calcut- ta.-Lendop Chronicle.

FROM LUCILLE'S DIARY

How do you enjoy living at the Shore haveu?" asked Polly Gray when hap pened to meet her dpwntewn one day last week.
 "oh. like 1t. though I haven't been very well. You see, I was dreadfully tired when we gave up the apartment. but I'm improving now under nay doctors care. I believe pr. Hapgood could cure almost anyone of almost any i'll. His delightful personality, to begin with, is enough to make one feel better and hap pier"
 This sounds interesting, Pelly. Who is Dr. Hapgopd?"
 He has been the house physician at the ShorehaVs9 ever since he left the army. He worked frightfulIy hard in France and now he is sort of marking time until he goes down south somewhere to resume the practice he left when he was overseas. All the girls at the hotel are quite mad over him."
 "Really?" I said, indifferently. T knew so many charming men in the A. E. F. that it requires something extraordi- nary to thrill be nowadays"
 'IndeedG" returned Polly as she left me, and felt that there had been little intangible sort of bristle in our parting, so yestsrasY I called her up and pro- posed myself for a little visit at the ShorehaYen-
 Why, when would you like to come | over?" she asked in some surprise, for il l is a long time since I have been to see Polly.
 Whenever it will be eonvenient fol you" replied.
 Cant you come today. Lucille? Mother has gone to the country and you can hay, her room over night. It win be just tn, 1 thing"
 I was really touched at Pelly's cordial ity and I packed my week end bag an, set forth.
 "We had rather stupid evening, chat ting desultorily in her room. 1 asked i there were no dancing in the hotel an, she said enly on "Wednesday and Satur day evenings. I couldn't help wonderin why she had insisted upon my coming o Tuesday, but I decided that I would re main another night if her mother wer still absent.
 Are Yen getting up, Lqcile7" aske Polly through the open door the mex morning at about half past o'clock
 "Oh, I don't believe can." answered weakly. T don't know why, but I don seem to have bit of energy and m head aches: I think Rerhaps should SC a decter, Polly" 'i Would you like to. have me call th house physician, Lucile2" she asked

kindly, < T believe it would be wise. don't wish to get sick on your hands over here. But please don't let him come till I have policed myself some"
 While Polly was at breakfast I took a hath and dressed myself in a perfectly beautiful rainbow silk kimono and very chic little Luneville lace cap. Then lay down on the couch by the window and awaited the coming of the doctor.
 Here Te are, Lucille" said Polly, gayfy, as she knocked at the door, and in moment more she was in the room. ac- companied by an. old and stern yisaged gentlemen. l looked at him in astonish- ment as he hrusquely took my wrist and began to count my pulse.
 Why, what seems to be wrongT' he asked, gruffly- You have a normal pulse and no fever, I'm sure.'
 Probably nothing more than the heat and a little overwork. perhaps" l an- 1 swered. I'm sure I'll be all right. in a little while. Dr. Hapgoea."

 "Why didn't you bring pr. Hapgood Polly, instead of that terrible old man ?'
 "Oh. I forgot to tell you, Lucille, that pr. Hapgood has left here. He has just gone back to Rome. Ga. I'm so glad yoi are feeling better, for mother has tele. phoned me to join her in the country ant must get the noon train. You mus come over again soon"
 Thank you" said. briefly, and I has tened into my street clothes and wen ihone. It will be a long time before ac cept another invitation from Polly Gray | Lucille" asked mother, fretfully, whel
 entered the house, "do you know any thing about that rainbow silk kimon
 that Fannie had just finished for Aun Rachel? Aunt Rachel was here to get this morning and Fannie has been franti
 looking for it."
 "oh. didn't that belong to Cousin Fan nie? I thought of course it was hers or
 shouldn't have borrowed it. Cousin Fan nie is always so generous with her thing | that I didn't hesitate to take it even
 she weren't here"
 Mother simply looked at me and sai nothing. Occasionally her silence is nor ' annoying that a spoken rebuke. Reall! al at times I am forced to think that sh

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Daylight Saving.

MT. Editor: What fools we mortais be '" Instead of moving their habits an hour ahead, they push the hands of the clock back, thus fooling themselves They send men to represent them in the making of laws at Hartford, then meet in their own town to agree to do con traary to the state enactments!
 The A citizens of Norwich, includ- ing the mayor. Chamber of Commerce, etc, etc., believe in keeping the laws of their conutry-until 1t disagrees with their views. They expect the inhabitants of Norwich to abide by the laws of the city and toxin, and impose a penalty if they do not. yet they are. in this in stance, working ia opposition to the laws of the state. Is 1t consistent?
 The mayor of our sister city, New London, is at least consistent, and, ex- peetipg the New Londoners to be law abiding citizens, he will not tempt them to gather to deliberately go contrary to the law of the state.
 As has been said in this column be- fore it is principally the salaried class
 who do not need to begin work before
 3 o'clock. who are so enthusiastic about this so-called daylight saving. Let them get to work earlier if they wish te save an hour. but to change the clocks of eommunity and not have the clock at noon when the sun is in the highest heavens, is certainly far from true civil izstion.

Her brother then tried. to dissuade her from the attempt by saying that a man would be more fleet and consequently would run less risk of losing his life.
 To this Elizabeth replied that they had not . man to spare from the defence of the fort, and if she would fail, she would scarcely be missed.
