‘HEROES DEVELOPED BY WAR

‘Terrible as Is the Battlefield, It Brings | to the Surface Man’s Great '

Qualities.

|| Hateful as war is and utterly abhor|frent to the Christian mind, we must I{yet recognize the fact that it brings Fty.o the surface as nothing else can cer|tain heroic qualities in man that the fwhole world admires. And the great 'war has already been prolific of heiroes. What is a hero? He is one who jdoes his duty fearlessly, as he sees it, rwith all the energy, ability, power and ienthusiasm at his command. At Liege {a German officer, directing his men in ‘the trenches, fell shot in the head. lAt once the others came to him, eager ito help. He waved his hand. “No, mo,” he said, “I have got my account—{go forward—do your duty.” And so jdied a hero. Prince Frederick of {Lippe, leading his command, received ‘a bullet in his breast. He knew it ito be a mortal wound, but with his ‘last ounce of strength he sprang for‘ward, grasped the regimental stan/dard, which was in danger of being taken, and shouting, “Save the flag!” fell to rise no more. Many incidents of individual heroism like these are itold of both sides, and they relieve the momber tragedy of war. Many undistinguished’ heroes went to their death at Namur, Charleroi and other battlefields in Belgium and along the border ';mm Mons to Muelhausen, and at the great battle in Lorraine, where 300,000 fought on either side. The story is itold of a number of students of Liege university who had volunteered for military service. There was an examination to be . held, but a great ‘battle had already begun. It was at ‘first purposed to abandon the examimation, but with a unanimous voice jthe etudents and faculty decided that At should go on. “The examination itook place,” relates the correspondent, “and then the candidates trooped from ithe hall to the battlefield, where many {of them lay dead a few hours later.”—‘ :Christian Herald.

‘SECURED HER FREE TICKET

:Clever Ruse Practiced by Los ‘Angeles ; Woman to Get Transportation to Chicago. { — ; A woman obtained a free ticket to {Chicago yesterday by a novel method {of extortion.; She called one of the ;managers of a down-town department ;store to the telephone. ‘ : : “I've got the smallpox,” she said. “It f'doesn’t show yet, but I have it. If 1 lcan get to Chicago I can get all the thelp I need, but if I stay here I shall Ihave to go to the county pesthouse. 1 'want you to send me a ticket to Chi. %cago, and if you don’t I'm coming ta Iyour store, get sick there, and you {will have to quarantine the whole iplace.” ! Then she detailed her plan to es icape detection. She demanded that ithe store manager should give the en. [velope containing the money or ticket 'to a messenger, the first messenger ta 'give it to a second, who would meet rthe first at Sixth and Olive streets, rand the second would give the envel ﬁope to a third at Fifteenth and Ver :mont avenue. . ! The department store notified the ipolice and then consented to the wom fan’s demands. The envelope was iturned over to a messenger boy, wha jecalled. The police followed him to {Sixth and Olive streets, where a sec iond messenger awaited. . They fol ilowed the second boy to the Vermont r’meeting place. The police were in an iautomobile. The third messenger had ;a. motorcycle. He dashed up Vermont :avenue, turned cross-town, and circled 'rback, came into town, dashed through ;& congested crossing, and disappeared ‘n the traffic while the police motor rca.r was delayed at the crossing.—Los {Angeles Times. :

¢ Virginia Only Producer of Rutlle. i Virginia produced all the American {output of rutile in 1913, according to ‘the United States geological survey, ‘the deposits being located at Rose:land, Nelson county. During the year ithe company which controls and iworks these deposits produced 305 itons of rutile, valued at about fortymine thousand dollars, ! A large part of the rutile produced dn 1913 was used in the manufacture of titanium carbide electrodes for are jlamps. A part of the ilmenite found in the deposits and separated by ‘means of a magnetic separator has 'been sold for use in making electrodes for electric lights, and the experk {ments with the electric furnace point ito the possible use of ilmenite in the :direct production of tool steel.

. Booth Tarkington’s Long Climb. : Although = Booth Tarkington, the #Hoosier novelist, today is one of ‘America’s literary successes, he had a dong and difficult climb to his pres ient position. Mr. Tarkington him: Belf is responsible for the statement that the financial rewards of the first five years of his literary endeavors mmounted to just $22.50, or a little over four dollars per year. He re ifused to be discouraged, however, and ‘now his income from serial rights and {book royalties puts him up near the ;head of the street called Easy.

i Getting Even With the Teutons. : A little boy in England, according ito a letter received since the war jbegan, has a peculiar brand of pa {triotism. He had heard his uncle gcomplain because the government has seized his horses. “Yes,” said the ‘youngster, “and I hope they make %sausage of them for the German sol: diers.”—Kansas City Star.

.Bread Peddler Menace.

-No less than a half hozen ‘trucks from outside cities are peddling bread and baked goods in this city and every purchase made of the Foreign commodities is a slam at the home bakery. . < These foreign firms engaged in peddling pay no taxes here nor do they make contributions for the upbuilding of the community. | _lf Ligonier is to retain her bakeries ithe‘ public will have to stop patronizing the peddling trucks. ~ The public would not think of approaching these peddlers for a donation to a local cause but are quick to vigit the home dealers when money is to be raised. The bread problem is a serious one. for the local bakers and the buying public should realize it. ; ~ If the home bread product was of inferior quality the case would assume a different aspect but it is not, Think the matter over.

Injunetion is Asked

A petition restraining the trustee from constructing a new school house at Cuppy’s corners near. South Whitley ha sbeen filed in the Whitley circuit court. The contract for the new school was to be let Friday. The argument will be heard Sept. 24. The petition states there are twelve school districts in Cleveland township of which four have been abandoned. The grounds of the petition are that a majority of the patrons in each district have mnot petitioned the trustees for a relocaion of the school; that there was a resolution authorizing him to buy six aeres of land at $2,000, which the complaint says is.an exorbitant price; and that the construction of the school at a cost of $25,000 is an unnecessary expense. ‘

TRAINING BOYS FOR WARFARE

Youth of Australia, From an Early Age, ~ Undergo a Compulsory Military Service,

~ Australian lads of twelve years begin a more or less voluntary form of ‘military training. It is an indulgent, ‘happy-go-lucky sort of thing, designed _primarily to be of physical advantage. When the lads are fourteen years old, ‘a limited military service is severely compulsory, with penalties for evasion, and fines laid upon employers and parents who interfere, and thus continues, with physical exercises, drill, parades, and rifle practice, for four years, whereupon these céidets are passed into the citizen forces. Four - whole-day drills are required each year, and 12 half-day drills and 24 night drills. A perfunctory attendance upon these grave obligations—in--apt, sullen, frivolous behavior—counts for nothing at all. If the cadet fails to be marked efficient by his battalion officers he must perform his service all over again. In Kalgoorlie of western Australia—A great dust storm blowing that night—we watched a column of these ¢“little conscripts” march past with rifies and bugles and drums; and they were smart to see—brown uniforms, with tricks of green, and wide-brimmed Australian hats caught up at the side in the Australian way. It is no farcical affair. When we were in Brisbane of Queensland, a score. of truant youngstersy were packed off to the military barracks for ten days of close confinement and drill; and away they went, in a big .cape wagon, in charge of a sergeant ‘major, and under escort of some brilliant artillerymen—a melancholy little crew, these truants, then, facing ten days of absence from home, with Bix hours of drill on the hot paradeground, under a sergeant major, who «doubtless knew how to improve the /patriotism of small culprits, and would do it with a switch.—Norman Dun‘can, in Harper’s Magazine.

MEASURING LIGHT OF STARS

‘With Improved Instruments, Johns . Hopkins Professor Hopes to Secure Most Important Results.

A recent number of Le Radium contains a paper by Dr. A. H. Pfund of Johns Hopkins university, in which he describes some preliminary tests ‘he has made of a new apparatus for qmeasuring the light of a star. The work was done at the Allegheny observatory, the Keeler 30-inch reflector ‘being used. In the focus of the tele:scope, either of two small blackened ‘disks, which formed the junction of & thermo-circuit, could be placed. The ‘wires used for the thermo-element 'were alloys of bismuth and tin, and of antimony and bismuth respectively. They were enclosed in an evacuated capsule, closed at one end by a plate .of fluorite and substituted for the eye‘piece of the telescope. The thermocurrent was measured by a moving.coil galvanometer. The sensitive‘ness of the arrangement was such that ‘a candle at a distance of 80 miles :would give a deflection of one millimeter. The deflections obtained ‘from celestial objects were: Vega, 7.5; Jupiter, 3.0; Altair, 2.0 millimeters. The author hopes, by using a more sensitive galvanometer and materials for his thermo-elements, to increase the sensitiveness considerably, and in this way to open up a new field of astro-physical research. {

When England Took Bordeaux.

' Bordeaux may presently, after the lapse of centuries, find friendly English troops marshaled in her squares. For three centuries English kings fuled over Bordeaux and the southwest of France. - The black prince Lc:red the ancient city of the Romans d made it his residence for 11 years.. It was here that Richard II was born. Bordeaux has always been bf a revolutionary temper and sometimes has anticipated Paris‘in getting rid of old rulers and adopting new. This was the case in 1830, during the unhappy time of Charles X, when the citizens substituted the tricolor for :the Bourbon flag before the news had come- from Paris of the latest revodution. At one time Bordeaux thirsted for ‘learning, and George Buchanan and other eminent Scots of the sixteenth century established themselves ‘by the Garonne as professors of the humanities;=London Chronicle. ,
