The edition comprised 23S Iages.
Each copy weighed about five
pounds, and 10 or ~ copies was n
pretty good load for any average
sized delivery boy to handle. Seventy
five tons of newsprint was used in
the production and. according to The
Chronicles statistician. If the
copies Of the edition had been piled
one on top Of the other, they would
have made n stack two miles high.
The edition was perhaps the larg-
est ever issued by a Texas news
paper.
In its distribution every method of
transportation was used. including
special railroad car equipment, whole
fleets of motor trucks and auto
mobiles.
1t was a production of merit by
one Of the best newspaper organiza-
tions anywhere in the South.
MARCELLUS +. FOSTER, better
known to newspaper readers in this
territory under the writing name Of
"Mefo," established The Chronicle

War Rubber.

Throughout the World War the
Germans, though cut off from rubber
supplies. were able to produce rubber
for their needs; it was a mystery TO
the allies how they were doing this.
The truth is that they were making 1t
alphabetically. Synthetic rubber had
been the dream of the chemist for
years. but had never been made a
practical success. though the theory
was we'll understood. The Germans
discovered that it could be made with
acetone, a substance that they had
always imported from the United
States. They discovered that acetone
could be derived from the action of
bacteria that causes the ferment and
decay of storage potatoes.
Now, what do you know about that?

to believe that 1t was the nest of a

Nourishment for Children.

A dieting experiment was carried
out for four years by the Medical
Researhc Council in a village home
for schoolboys near London.
The boys were divided into groups.
Some were given basic diet. Others
received additional foods. An annual
increase of 1856 pounds weight and
1.S4 inches in height was averaged
by the group on the basic diet The
group which received an extra pint
of cows milk showed an annual In
crease of 6.98 pounds weight and 1858
inches in height. The other groups.
which were given extra rations of
butter, vegetables, margarine, sugar.
cheese and fresh watercresseS, made
greater progress than the less for
tunate groups on the basic diet.
DIR. Cory Mann. the supervisor OF
the experiment. said: THE effect OF
the extra milk improved the spirit
Of the boys and led them oftener into
trouble and minor offenses against

physique almost as much as milk,
had a similar effect on the behavior,
as the butter boys were described as
regular little terrors.'

Putnam to Oppose Howe. :

NEW York. August "a, 1875
Gen. Israel Putnam today took com
mand of the American forces on Long
Island because of the illness of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene. Gen. Howe will
recall Gen. Putnam as person who
proved himself most efficient in the
affair OF Bunker's Hill. Gen. Put
nam will recall Gen. Howe as the
person whose redcOats took Bunker 5
Hill only after three attacks, when
the American ammunition was entire
ly gone. Something of the same sort
may happen again on Brooklyn
Heights very soon. But Howe has
now three advantages which he lacked
at Bunker's Hill. He has a larger
army, he has navy, which. by enter
ing the East River, could cut the
American forces in two. and he has
the lesson which he learned at Bunk
er's Hill in respect to the dangers en-
countered in approaching American
reastworks before the American pow
der horns are empty.
Gen. Washington divided the day
between headquarters here and the
works in Brooklyn. He still considers
that the landing of 10000 men on
Long Island may be only a fcint to
draw attention from an attack on this
city. He has sent six regiments to
Long Island since the enemy came
ashore. These men went off in high
spirits. and the general has Informed
Congress that the whole of the Army
that is effective and capable of duty is

eve of battle.
