CAMP MEADE. MJ Ans. 28. The
thtmplon cooties killer of the army Is
here. He Is Frank Dowd, of Washing'
ton. -who as chemist for a large raanu
factoring concern has worked out
formulae for preparations that hare
made army camps, forts, trenches, and
dugouts unsafe places for all kinds of
insects. Rats, mice, and other "rar
mints" that show such great zeal In
Joining the armed forces are also dis
posed of by Dowd'a solutions.
In the area around Washington
Alone fifty barrels of the drugs are
being used. Three of his solutions
ore widely used in homes and hospi
tals under trade names. Before his
number was called Dowd was in the
Health Department of the District of
Columbia. He is for the present in
the depot brigade, subject to call to
any place where a cootie is seen or
felt.
No household, hospital, or hotel
could be more particular than the
army in ilghting all pests, especially
those likely to bring disease. In spite
or every precaution, unwelcome visi
tors do appear in kitchens and In bar'
racks. What Is known as spring
cleaning in towns takes place in camp
once a week. Beds and everything
movable are placed In the sun for
four or five hours, in winter as well
as in summer.
MAN TRAMPLE
HO
OF
KAISER
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. A remark
able demonstration Is reported to
have taken place In Berlin when a
report was spread that the military
authorities Intended to raise the mili
tary age limit, says a copyright Am
sterdam report to the New Tork
Times.
This started trouble in the poorer
quarters, and particularly in the Boa
bit district, for in this district, which
might be called the tower hamlets, or
Bermondsey, of Berlin, had been cir
culated a report that the older classes
would be released from service.
Reports of the contrary decision
were reeclted with anger and dismay.
Crowds, mostly of women and old
men. assembled in the streets and
noisily discussed the matter. Under
the eyea of the police, however, the
crowds melted away and the people
returned to their homes or went to
the cafes. But at the latter place
pictures of the Kaiser, the crown
prince, Hlndenburg, and Ludendorff
were taken from the walls and
thrown Intq the streets.
For some minutes there was a rain
of pictures of Germany's military
Kreat ones pouring from Berlin's
private and public house Out of
doors the people gave vent to their
feelings ty trampling- the pictures
underfoot. Some who had lingered
rather too long at this business were
Arrested. For an hour street clean
ers were busy sweeping up the tat
ters of thousands of the gaudy litho
graphs, a spectacle which was en
Joyed by onlookers from many a
window in Berlin.

CAMP HUMPHREYS, Vs., Aug. 26.
No longer will it be necessary to oper
ate on the throat of the poor army
mule, as the French veterinarians
are eaid to do, to prevent the resound
ing he-haws by which the beast
wakes the echoes, arousing the
Humphreys engineers from their toil
weary slumbers. After many experi
ments with gas masks, feed bags, and
the like. Stable Serst. Dave Traugott.
of Company F, Fourth Regiment, who
back In Pennsylvania had great op
portunities for studying the char
acteristics of the mule, has discovered
a much simpler method.
A little bag of sand attached at
night to the tail of the mule. Sergeant
Traugott discovered, worked the trick.
Accordingly each night the bags are
attached to the tails of all the mules
In the stable and Traugott and his
comrades get their sleep undisturbed
by the blatant brays of their charges.
The doughty sergeant's knowledge is
the result of deep study and much re
search, gleaned from close association
with the animal. According to Trau
gott, in order to bray successfully snd
with wonted harmony, a mule must
stretch his neck and elevate its caudal
appendage to a horizontal position at
right angles to the vertebrae. Denied
this privilege by the weight of a
small rock or sack of sand, the beast
id absolutely unable to bray.

Editorial
It some one can explain the
how and why of NICKNAMES,
we would like to hear from
them.
There is "Skinny," who
weighs a ton; "Fatty," thin as
a rail; "Happy," who never
smiles unless some one gets
hurt, etc
Only thing we have been able
to figure out is that nicknames
just happen. Sometimes they
reflect a human trait; other
times they show a lack of
something or other.
For almost a year we've been
trying to figure out a name for
our boys over there. First it
was "Sammies," but THEY
didnt like it, so we dropped
that one. Now it's YANKS
a typical American name and
one which we believe will stick, t
It's short, easy to say and
forceful. What more could be
asked.
