SAYS WAR HELPED RELIGION , IS OLD LONDON PLAYGROUND
Bl0 Fight Made 8oldiers Better Men,
Is Assertion Made by Man Who
Knows Them. y
Tlio American soldier came out of
the war rt'lih more religion than he
wen) In, according t Jtev. Henry llus
Hell Tulhot, canon of the National
nilhedrai at WashlnKton, who arises
to delVini id,, doughboy from the libel

"He Is n better limn for having been

Cunon Tulhot was senior chaplain of
tlio FiiNt division of the American ex
peditionary forces, Iu a communica
tion to national headquarters of the
American Legion at Indianapolis he
admits the American, as he saw him
In France, wus "uncommonly timid in
the exercise of his religion. Ho was
frightened at his own religious shadow
or he might have been grossly Ignor
ant of tho content and practice of his
religion."
Hut as the First division's senior
chaplain, the canon was In charge of
all the private belongings of the 1,800
Americans killed In the ten days' fight
ing In the Argonne, und In nine out of
every ten of the men's kits found a
crucifix, scapular, pruyerhook or testa
ment. "And In those days," Canon
Talbot writes, "the First division waa
not carrying anything It did not deem
essential.'
"There was a kind of collectivism
which outruns the ordinary standards
of honesty," declares the canon, "but
underneath there was implicit, If not
explicit, reverence for the Son of
Man."
BENEFIT OF "LIGHT BATHS"
Rheumatism and' Neuritis Yield to
Treatment In Which Purple
, , , Rays Play Big Part.
The usefulness of "sun baths" for
health has long been recognized. Un
limited sunshine hag much to do with
the beneficial effect of a vacation at
the seashore. - i
Nowadays this matter Is better un
derstood than It used to be, and It Is
known that the heat rays of the sun
have nothing to do with the physical
benefit obtained from such exposure.
It Is the chemical rays In the sun
beamparticularly the ultra-violet
rays that do the good work.
Electric light Is rich In these rays,
and many cures of rheumatism and
neuritis have been accomplished by
exposlnff the affected part of the body
to a powerful incandescent lamp, Its
rays concentrated by a hemispherical
reflector. For curative purposes phy
sicians have turned to useful account
a srt of cabinet lined with such
lamps, Into which the pstient. lying
on a padded bonrd, could be slid.
The newest method employs a
quartz lamp containing mercury va
por, through which the electric cur
rent Is passed. Quartz has the advan
tage of being extraordinarily trans
parent to ultra-violet rays.
Such n lamp, made In the shape of
a tube of small diameter, can be In
troduced into the nasal passages for
the treatment of catarrh or Into thf
throat for the cure of Infected tonsils
thus saving the patient an operation

Hyde Park Has for Centuries Been
the Scene of Amusements Dear
to Englishmen.
Tn llydo park, London, nearly every
Ciiiiui iMid sport known to the English
bus been practiced ut one time or all
ot her. In liiJiO the B'reiicli ambassa
dor hunted there with the king. In
1578 1h4 Duke Caslmlr "killed a bar
ren doe with bis piece In Hyde park
from among J?00 other deer." In the
rt-lgn of Charles I the park became
celebrated for Its foot and horse races
round the ring, the "dusty mill-horse
drive," as Lady Malapert calls It.
"Shall we make a fling to London,"
wrote Klehnrd lirome, "und see how
the spring appears there In the spring
gardens ; and in Hyde park, to see the
races, liorse and foot; to hear the
Jockles crack?"
Kaclng In the ring was one of the
greatest attractions In the park, and
some of the meetings were thought
to he of great Importance, as even
among the state papers there Is pre
served the agreement for a race that
took place there. Charles I mixed
freely with hla subjects on these occa
sions, but, looking on the royal park
as his own possession, he once ordered
the ejection of a Berkshire squire,
whom he referred to as an "ugly ras
cul." The "ugly rascal" overheard
the phrase. He went away quietly,
but vowed vengeance, and gradually
embittered the whole of hla country
against tho king. He had, indeed, his
revenge, for writ large on Charles I's
death warrant was the name of the
"ugly rascal."
THE LIFE OF GAS MANTLES
Illuminating Device Should Last 1,000
Burning Hours May Be Destroyed
In Few Moments. , ; " "'
The following facts about gas man
tles are taken from Gas Logic, the
house organ of the biggest gas company
In New York.
"A good gas mantle should last; from
500 to 800 or even 1,000 burning hours.
"Breakage, however, Is not always
due to poor mantle quality. Turning
the gas off and on and the slight ex
plosion that sometimes occurs when
It Is lighted Is highly destructive of
mantles. A mantle which, burning
steadily, might last for several thou
sand hours, may be destroyed In a few
minutes by rough handling or in a few
hours by unusual but unavoidable wear
and tear.
"Initial candle power Is that meas
ured when the mantle Is first lighted.
It Is extremely high In cheap and In
ferior mantles. But soon, often with
in a few minutes, the brilliancy of the
light fades, never to be regained. The
Intensity of this Initial light Is a snare
Into which the unwary and unwise fre
quently fall In purchasing cheap man
tles. "Sustained candle power Is the meas
ure of light given out by a mantle
over a long period, and Is, of course, the
real test of a good mantle. The high
class mantle may not have an initial
candle power equal to that of a cheap
er substitute, but In the long test Its
superiority Is demonstrated.
"Some of the gas companies are now
selling mantles with a guarantee of
at least 00 days' service."

$7,500 FUND IS CREATED
.... FOR SHADE TREES IN 2011
The , statement has been made in
bank advertisements that if $1 had
been placed at compound interest in
the year 1 it would have grown by
now to a sum larger than all the
money in the world.
Such a statement must have caught
the eye ; of Alfred V. Lincoln, of
Charlestown, Mass. His will provides
that $7,500 of his estate must be
set aside at compound interest for
90 years, or until the year 2011. Then
the total will be drawn, out to plant
many trees in Lincoln's home
town.
"At 4 percent compound interest
money doubles in 17 years and 246
days. In 90 years, Mr. Lincoln's orig
inal $7,500 will amount to about
$250,000. Shrewdly invested by trus
tees, it may turn into millions.
