MEN IN FRANCE MUST EAT

Army of Million Will Require 17 Ships Unloading One Hundred Million Pounds Daily. The American army in France will need spme transporting. Here are figures that are at least approximately correct, writes Charles H. Grasty i'n New York Times. It is\estimated that 100 pounds of freight a man each day must be unloaded at the port of debarkation. Therefore, when at the end of two years, we have, say, 1,000,000 men in France we must unload dally 100,000,000 pounds bf freight, or 50,000 tons. Three thousand tons can be unloaded daily from a good-sized ship; hence 17 ships at the wharves, each of them unloading 3,000 tons, will fill the requirements. In the United States 17 ships must be loading 50,000 tons a day. This makes a total of 34 ships at the docks. Taking as a basis ' a 6,000 ton (dead weight) ship, we see 17 ships must leave New York every two days and 17 ships leave some French port every two days in transit with army freight. Assuming ten days as the time of passage, there would be 170 ships (6,000 tons) on the way to and from the United States, which, added to the 84 at the docks, will make a total of 204 ships, assuming no loss or delay. With 1,000,000 men there will be approximately 200,000 animals. At 14 pounds of hay a day, there would be required for six months more than ! 456,000,000 pounds of hay, which must be imported, and also 360,000,000 pounds of oats. Rations will require, 815,000,000 pounds. Ammunition will run into the billions of pounds.

Glass Fruit Knife.

The ordinary steel or plated knife, as evbry housewife knows, Is attacked . by the acids of many fruits, making a stain that is removed only with considerable labor. A glass knife is now on the market which is quite impervious to the most active frpit acid, and it takes a good edge, though of eburse, in view of its brittleness, a somewhat thicker one than we are accustomed to. With a little of the care in washing which even now must be bestowed upon the china gravy ladlq and similar objects, this knife should prove very acceptable for cutting grapefruit, lemons. oranges, etc. —Scientific American.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

JUST PART OF DAY’S WORK

British Aviators Awaiting a Call Reminded American Newspaper Correspondent of Bellhops. We strolled, as we talked, into a long shed, with a board table along Its center, a telephone desk in the corner and many maps on the plain board walls—the regulation appearance of a headquarters. A bench ran down one side of the room, and on it sat seven ofLeight lean, blond, clean cut British youths in khaki. It was the watch, waiting on call against emergencies of the air. Phil Simms, being an American and therefore of witty imagination, smiled. waiting for a call to Z 26,” he whispered. The row of aviators, being Britons and shy, shifted their legs and looked embarrassed. But one rose from the bench and approached the captain, saluting. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were bloodshot. “Oh—-you’ve just landed !” said the captain easily. “Had a fight, didn’t you?” i “Yes, sir,” said the boy all in a breath. “Squad of four German planes attacked me and Brown-Jones. (This name, of course, is disguised.) My gun jammed after three shots, and I had to hurry back. ferown-Jones brought ope down, I think. At least he appeared to be out of control when he dropped into the cloud below.” “Oh—cr —Brown-Jones back?” “No, sir. But I saw him crossing our lines behind me.” “Engine trouble, I suppose. Doubtless we’ll hear from him later. What about the other three Huns?” “They showed evidences of extreme terror, sir!” “Very well.” The boy settled back onto the bench, where he nonchalantly borrowed a cigarette from his neighbor. Just let your imagination play on this, as mine did. Back from a fight fifteen thousand, eighteen thousand, feet in the air, a thing merely dreamed of three years ago, realized only a year ago—an adventure beyond precedent. And here it was treated as part of the day’s work ! —Will Irwin in the Saturday Evening Post.

Why Soldiers Wear Wrist Watches. Replying to a question from his audience, a British officer lecturing in Chicago explained why all officers wear wrist watches. He described an advance from the trenches as an illustration, telling how every move was made on a prearranged schedule, the artillery throwing a curtain of fire for a certain number of seconds, while the infantry advanced 20 yards farther ahead, while the infantry made another advance, and so on. “All this shell fire,” he said, “Is being done by artillery far behind. The artillery officer depends most of all upon his watch. He sits with a telephone glued to his ear and field glasses in his hands. He has no time to be fumbling for his watch. A minute’s error in changing the range would mean that the shells would be falling into his own advancing troops. Nor has the officer leading his men across No Man’s Land any time to be fumbling for his watch.”

Most of us decided a long time ago that a league was the distance that the winged shoes enabled the fairy prince to qover in less than no time. But one Indianapolis boy evidently has a very. different interpretation. The boy is passionately fond of the movies, so 4 very naturally came about that he was telling the caller about his latest plans for “more” diversion. “I’m going to the Circle this week,” he announced. “I’m going to see ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,’ ” “That will be very nice,” was the response. “You will see men walking on the bottom of the sea, and lots of big fish, and the boat, and all sorts of Interesting things.” “Yes,” he answered, rather uninterestedly, “I know all about those things. But you know, what I want to see Is those leagues. There’s going to be twenty thousand of them.”

When the Swiss army was mobilized three years ago the soldiers surely did not think that they would have t<f fight bears, but that happened to a detachment of the troops on Rorschach on the lake of Constance recently. A large brown bear escaped from a traveling menagerie and trotted through the streets, causing a panic among the population. The bear finally entered a butcher shop, where he enjoyed a good meal of steak and fish and created general havoc. In the meantime half a company of soldiers of the local garrison had been called up and hastened to the scene of the disturbance with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. The butcher shop was surrounded by the troops and the bear held at bay until his owner and a couple of trainers arrived and lassoed him.

In this day when ordinary aviation is regarded as little more dangerous than driving a milk wagon, and when in Europe thousands of military airplanes are scouting, fighting, and traveling hundreds of miles in dead of night to drop bombs on enemy cities, one may easily forget that the first successful public trial of a heavier-thsn-air flying machine took place less than 14 years ago. Yet it was about that time at Kitty Hawk, N. C., that the really first successful flight of an airplane was made by Wilbur Wright, now dead.

They were among the first to be called "Bloodless Surgeons.” Each member of the United Doctors staff has at his command the knowledge and resources of the whole organization. Many people go on suffering from diseases that can be alleviated just because they cannot afford to go to high priced specialists at a distance from home. No community has a sufficient number of sufferers from the diseases mentioned to support special hospitals for their treatment and cure. The United Doctors have solved the problem. Their highly trained specialists travel from place to place. They diagnose and prescibe a course of treatment for the sufferers in each community and teach them how to take care df themselves at home. Worn-out and run-down men or women, no matter what your ailment may be, no matter what you have been told, or the experience you have had with other physicians. If your case is incurable they will tell you so. Consult him upon this visit. It costs nothing. Married ladies must come with their husbands and minors with their parents.
