Yankee Artillery at the Front Follow
Gallant Custom of French
Cannoneers.
Following a gallant custom of the
French artillery, the boya of Battery
B in one of our own F. A. regiments,
decided to name their guns after those
whom they considered the outstanding
figures among the patriotic women of
American history.
Many were named but two were
chosen. The first, according to Stars
and Stripes, France, was Betsy Itoss,
who, In her little house In Philadel
phia, made for General Washington
the first American flag. The second
was Elsie Jnnls, who, in the little huts
of France, made the first hit of the
A. E. F.
"These guns are of the railway ar
tillery," the captain says, "and among
the most powerful In France, and the
names selected are now painted on the
carriages, where they will be constant
inspiration In the future, and, we hope,
a credit to their namesakes,"
One of these two namesakes, who
probably never thought of herself as
a figure In American history at all, Is
Just back from a tour of the front
where she had a good many thrills, In
cluding the thrill of finding her name
In divisional general orders.
There she delighted one of the bands
by turning drum major throughout a
long march, cheered up some young
German prisoners by talking to them
In their own tongue, and came away
much pleased by the news that Elsie
Janls II had just raised merry h
with a German machine gun emplacement.
WEARIED OF CONSTANT BRAY
Spaniards Make Offer to Exchange
Mules for Something That Has
More Musical Sound.
A little while ago It was reputed
that the army mule In France, lnvnl
uable for transport, was making him
self obnoxious by his propensity to
bray when In close proximity to the
enemy. And now, according to ad
vices received by the National Piano
Manufacturers' association, the Span
lards are anxious to dispose of their
mules to us and to obtain In return
pianos and other musical Instruments.
Evidently what Wordsworth calls
"the hard, dry see-saw of his horrible
bray" Is no better relished by the
esthetic consciousness of the Iberians
than by the valorous gentlemen of
France. It Is doubtful whether even
nn Implacable futurist In music like
Leo Ornsteln or Arnold Schoenberg
derives genuine satisfaction from the
student cantatas and blatant oratorios
of the mule. Some cynics have de
tected a resemblance between the
voice of the bagpipe "anH" the mule's
spontaneous lyricism, but this Is a
libel.
With patience one can detect n
definite melody In the Scotch plbrochs
and strathspreys, whereas mule music
like the world In the making, Is with
out form and void. As long as Spain
Is not at war she can afford to dance
the fandango and play the mandolin.
When by the logic of events she Is
swept out of her neutrality Into bel
ligerency and has to haul cannon and
wagons, she will wish she had the
mule. Philadelphia Ledger.
Saccharin Not Injurious.
Some quite unfounded statements
have been made to the effect that sac
charin disturbs the digestion, Injures
the kidneys, or is even responsible for
gastric cnrclnomn. There Is no evi
denue that saccharin or Its allies has
tt effect whatever on the economy
n when It is used In quantities
larger than are required to sweeten
foods and beverages to suit ordinary
tastes. And this, in spite of the fact that
saccharin has been In use for' more
than a quarter of a century.
The mere fact Hint It is an artificial
substance remotely derived from coal
tar does not necessarily render It poi
sonous, as some seem to suspect. At
the same time it Is, of course, value
less as n food In the sense in which
sugar Is a food, and even ns a flavor It
to most tastes is Inferior to the natural
substance British Medlcnl Journal.
Rubber In Japan.
The rubber manufacturing Industry
In Japan has developed greatly within
the past year In the scope and variety
of Its products. In the export trade,
too, its Importance Is increasing. The
growtli of the industry may be seen
from the steady increase In the Ira
port of crude rubber. The official trade
returns state that the import in 1017
totaled 9,88(1,032 yen over the figure
for 1915. Formerly most of the auto
mobile tires used In Japan were Im
ported Into that country, but now the
greater part of Japan's needs are sup
plied by domestic manufacturers. The
export of automobile tires has also
begun with the development of rubber
plants In Japan.

Iowa was unanimously re-elected chair

Mine Wreck-, Garden.
While sitting on. the back porch of
her home. Mrs. Wlilliim Dnlmetsch of
the 700 block, on North Bromley ave
nue, Scrnntpn, Pn.. saw the rear por
tion of the yard sink Into a mine work
ing, exposing numerous mine props,
while a short distance away a similar
Fettling expoed men at work In the
mines. In each ease the gardens have
dropped about 10 feet. The home of
Matthew Scott has escaped damage,
but the earth on all Rides has sunk,
making the residence appear us though
on an Island.
Few streets In the city are suffering
worse damage from mine caves than
Bromley avenue. Gardens, posts, trees
uud sidewalks have fallen in.
