SACK OF LOUVAIN
Aug. 19

ON Aug. 10, 1914, the German
~ army entered Louvain, Belgium,
and began their campaign of pillag-
ing and sacking the city, which cul-
minated in the burning of the uni
versity and it's famous library.
The Belgian troops did not at
tempt to hold the town and the
civil authorities had prepared for
the Germans arrival. They had
called in all arms and deposited
them in the Hotel-de-Ville.
German troops were billeted on
the inhabitants, who were required
to be within doors between 8 p. m.
and 7 a. m. One night shot rang
out, followed rapidly by two more,
and then by terrible fusillade.
The windows of the houses splin-
tered with hail Of bullets. The
university and its library was set
afire with faggots and chemicals.
The German soldiers smashed IN
the doors of the houses, dragging
inmates from their hiding places
crying: There has been firing.
Civilians have fired" Hand gre
nades were hurled into the rooms.
Several inmates were called out ano
instantly shot.
On Aug. 81 the soldiers announced
Louvain was to be bombarded and
every one must leave. Then started
a food of fugitives out of the city
and the actual sack began. Houses
were stripped and the entire city
was butuaA

Speed

People who think of airplanes at all asking
the question: "Of what earthly good are racing
planes?" The question is promoted by the current
performance at Annapolis, where the 900 Schne-
der cup navy of Lieutenant Al Williams has been
sitting for week waiting good weather for tests
Not long ago people were asking what good re-
fueling endurance flights did There wasn't much Of
an answer to that. But there is answer to the
racing plane question
The racing plane is the laboratory that produces
speed ideas for the commercial manufacturer. Auto
makers tell that the Indianapolis speedway races
have had lot to do with the present perfection of
automobiles. Arpane do the same, it is said.
Only few years ago $50 miles an hour ter
rifle pace, for racing planes But today there
is much fused commercial plane that carries six pas
sengers and a pilot at ITS miles hour.
In the racer such problems streamlining, ap-
plication of power supercharging, propeller pitch and
reduction of weight worked out. And the answers
to those problems incorporated in next years
commercial planes, with the result that soon we may
fly across the continent at 200 miles hour instead
of 100.

TVHE amateur gardener will find that the more he
L knows about plants the better his garden will
be- This is particularly true where the home owner
is not merely planning garden for summer, but
wishes to do his planting judiciously so that each
years garden will be an improvement the previ-
Gus one.
The gardener, therefore, should have considerable
technical knowledge about plants their length OF te

HEALTH SERVICE

There are in the human being
about five quarts of blood. The
blood in the arteries contain about
10 per cent of oxygen and that in
the veins about Is per cent. The
real regulator of breathing is not
the oxygen breathed in, but the
pressure of carbon dioxide that hap
pens to be passing through the
lungs.
The carbon dioxide is the end
product of breathing. The mass of
carbon dioxIde held in the body is
large as compared with the oxygen.
Every movement of the body or
limbs results in the production of an
increased amount of carbon dioxide
and causes the absorption of an
amount of oxygen which corresponds
to the energy used up.
This carbon dioXide is carried by
the blood to a place in the brain
which controls the activities of the
muscles of the chest and the dia-
phragm. Hence it controls the rate
and rhythm of respiration.
To prove the fact, the expert
mentors caused men to breathe pure

Carbon Dioxide Breathing Regulator

oxygen. The rate and the rhythm
of respiration we're not affected or
but slightly decreased and little
more oxygen was taken up by the
body
If, however, small amount of
carbon dioxide is added to the mix
ture, the volume of breathing is In
creased almost Immediately, al
though the rate does not increase
greatly.
The experiment can be done by
the average man in this way: For
half a minute he forces himself to
breathe more deeply and at least
as rapidly but not much more rap
idly than he usually does.
BY this means, the lungs are over
ventilated and the carbon dioXide
content of the blood is temporarily
decreased.
When this voluntary effort IS
stopped there follows, in most peo-
pie, complete stopping of the de-
sire to breathe. This period varies
in length according to the length of
the period of overbreathing that
produced it.

Do chameleons breed in captivity?

They breed in captivity under
favorable conditions. To give them
natural surroundings" construct a
large screened cage where there is
an abundance of sunlight. Keep
plenty of plants in the cage.
Chameleons like plenty of water, but
will not drink it from a receptacle.
Sprinkle the water in drops in the
cage in which they are kept, and on
the leaves. They will drink all the
water they can get in this manner.
Do not let the damp leaves remain
long in the cage as chameleonS do
not thrive in dampness. They eat
meal worms, bread crumbs and
tiny pieces of meat Put the food
on straws and move it about, as
they will not eat If it remains sta
tionary. In their natural environ
ment, they live by catching moving
insects

War in ManChuria

ID USSIA has invaded Chinese
N territory, according to reports
from Manchuria, capturing two
towns and threatening further pene-
tration.
The idea, we are informed, is to
isolate Manchuli, an important rail-
road center.
Russia denies the whole thing, but
the Manchuria government mobilizes
troops, the League of Nations con-
siders intervention and Japan con-
centrates forces within striking
distance.

Japan has been too busy getting
y ready to welcome the Graf Yep
pelin to give much thought to any
thing SO commonplace as trouble
in Manchuri,.
When she has performed her full
duty in that respect she can be de-
pended on to take definite and
probably an effective interest.
Other parties to the brawl are
moved by expediency, opportunism
and impulse, but with Japan it is a
case of we'll throughout policy.
Japan not only knows what she
wants, but has worked out a we'll
considered program to get it.

Criticising MuSsoIini

WHATEVER else may be said of
w the Vatican pact, it appears to
have insured the existence of one
newspaper that dares to criticiSe
Benito Mussolini.
This is the Osservatore Romano
published in Vatican City, which II
Duce can neither censor nor sup
press, but which enjoys wide cir
culation throughout Italy.
The Fascists are said to be
furious, especially over the fact that
they can discover no way to stop
the paper from criticising their
party or their idol, except to buy
up copies of each edition as fast
as they appear.
Mussolini certainly overlooked one
bet when he agreed to a sovereign
state for the pope, with the privilege
of publishing a newspaper included.

Cheating Poor Young Men

ST~HE other day a S2o,ooO,oO0 judg-
l. ment was given against the
1cadio Corporatin Of America.
If confirmed, two modest, hard
working young men will make for
tune.
They inverted a socket plug which
eliminated the n3cc~sity of batteries
in connection with radio SEES.
They then granted a license to
the Dubilier Corporation for use of
their patent.
The Dubilier Corporation sued the
Radio Corporation of America on
the ground of infringement.
Big business has not destroyed the
romantic side of inventiveness.
Poor young men not only make
important discoveries, but would be
cheated out of them were it not for
