DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, APRIL IG, 1928.

Ur eat Soldier's Led Speeding Motor Car One blink day In April, 1918, when the Brltiah army was fighting for Its life, I came upon a strange spectacle In the retreating flood of war wreckage that filled the roads lending westward from our crumbling front. It was a shining limousine, all plate glass and upholstery, with a solitary occupant behind the smart soldier driver, a general officer of the type commonly known as a "Brass Hat.” Ho was muffled In an overcoat, and he half sat, half reel lord on the cushion*, his head tilted against the padded hack, altogether an Incongruous picture of ease and contentment. The tired and hungry soldiers on the road looked at him with amazement, for he was asleep. Few of them noticed the union jack on the top of the car, or realised that the only man who slept in all that tragic multitude was the "C. In C.”— Sir Douglas Haig as he was then, or that he slept from sheer exhaustion because he had not slept since the German advance began. As he drove constantly from one headquarters to another behind the stricken line, he would snatch a few uneasy moments of slumber. It was his only chance. This Is my most vivid recollection of Lord Haig. During those critical days when, as he himself said, our men were fighting with their backs to the wall, he was constantly among them, and In places where no commander-in-chief need have been. He was a silent man, and shy, and by no means given to spectacular gestures of approval.—Sir Percival Phillips in the Continental Edition of the London Dally Mail, Her “Beanstalk” Legs Made Hit of Evening Emma Calve of Carmen ftfme, in the early days of her operatic career, was very slender. Her "beanstalk” legs—as she calls them In her memoirs "My Life”—gave her grave concern. To overcome that defect, on the first night of “N'oces de Figaro” nt Brussels, she hit upon the brilliant plan of swelling her calves by padding them. "The old gentlemen in the front rows trained their glasses on these superh affairs,” recalls Calve. "I was conscious of their attention and proud of my success until I left the stage at the end of my first scene.” In the wings she found the infuriated director. "Don't you know that every one Is laughing at you!” he shouted. "Take those hideous lumps off instantly.” And for the second act poor Calve had to make her entrance with her "beanstalk legs all unadorned.” “I tried to cover them with my cloak, but It was Impossible. My mortification was intense. The audience saw the change Instantly, and was highly amused. I was applauded and cheered uproariously.” Concerning Patents The term "basic patent” is used ordinarily with much the same significance as pioneer patent—that is to say, as having reference to a patent covering an invention which represents a marked advance in some art. as when an inventor for the first time accomplishes a certain result. There have been a good many basic patents granted, from first to last, but no precise enumeration Is possible, inasmuch as opinions vary, more or less ns to which patents are entitled to be so classed. We note Bell’s patent on Ihe telephone and Howe’s patent foi the sewing machine employing an eyepointed needle. There are basic patents now in force for Inventions relating to wireless, radio, etc., and other subjects. Wasted Effort Helen, age seven, was taking music lessons. One afternoon she wus invited to attend the Junior matinee musicale. A friend of hers, who was a few years older, was to play a selection on the piano. When she returned home after the musicaie, her mother said, "How did Ruth get along? Did she play well!” “Well, it sounded to me as If she made lots of mistakes—lots of them f don’t believe she had practiced very long on the piece she played.” said Helen seriously. "But,” she added. •J do nos know whether siie played tpiece right. The audience clipped jtret as if she had. What’s the use of practicing so much if they do not know the difference." Do Honor to Marcut Austrians have honored the name of Siegfried Marcus, credited with the invention of the modern automobile, by erecting a statue to his memory In Vienna, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. It is of unique design, allowing an athletic youth cleaving his way tlnough space, while a cast of the inventor's head Is on a front panel. Marcus introduced an automobile as early ps 1804, and, la 1875, he devised one tyat had msny of the advantages of tike car of today.

My father worked in a textile mill in Housatonic, Mass., making bed spreads. I went to work at (lie age of ten in a grocery store and stayed there till I was seventeen and then ran away. “My father came after me at Springfield. He urged me to go home, but I said: ‘I will never go home as long as you stay in that little town weaving bedspreads.

People who are suffering from the pangs of stomach trouble and indigestion will be glad to read how Frank Baker, 625 Kcasley St., South Bend, Ind., quickly overcame these agonizing afflictions. He writes as follows: “Since over a year ago, I have had a had ease of stomach trouble that just wore me out. I had sick spells that left me weak, dizzy and nervous. My appetite was very poor, and after meals the food would not digest, but felt like a rock in the pit of my stomach. I had burning pains in my stomach and would belch up hot, sour gases. I could not sleep at night even though I was all tired out. In the morning, I got up feeling weaker ami worse than when I went to bed. I lost weight and had no pep at all. The first and only relief came when I started taking Viuna. Almost at once I began to get well. I took it regularly and soon felt like a different man. The 'bilious attacks and i burning pains stopped, my appetite came back, and my digestion improved wonderfully. I can cat heartily again with no gas, and no rocklike sensation in my stomach. My nerves are steady, I sleep splendidly every night, and feel full of pep when i I get up.. Life sure looks different ■ for me since I got back to health, [ and I’m mighty thankful to Viuna.” ' Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bownlit, I Inzy liver and wouk kidneys. It purities lb<' blood. < linrs the skin, restores appe the and digest ion.and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bolll'- on trial.
