ALL PREPARED FOR MEASLES
Indianapolis Newspapsr Treats Ad
vent of Disease as Something ef
Which to Make a Jest.
Hava yon hnd the measles yet?
Well, Just be patient. It Is only a
matter of time.
A physician was asked how he ac
counted for the great number of cases
of measles this year, and he smiled
and said that the old germs were all
frozen during the very cold weather
and that they were trying out the new
supply. Professional men have such
charming manners, which Invariably
accompany those evasive answers.
One never knows whether they are
afraid of disclosing stnte secrets or
whether the sweet smile and graceful
bow are serving In an armorial ca
pacity.
So, if you awaken some morning and
your forehead Is a mass of little
patches of carmine and your throat
feels dry and your head feels hot, don’t
be alarmed. It simply means that
you have been chosen to become a
member of the Ancient Accepted Or
der of Measleites, and that the Initia
tion haa begun. A five days’ vacation
Is about to ha thrust on you, which
you will enjoy, more or less, probably

/ Take a good-slued bowl, fill It nearly
full of water and place It upon the
floor of a room which Is not exposed te
shaking or Jarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water,
a coating of lycopodium powder. Then
upon the surface of this coating of
powder make, with powdered charcoal,
a straight black line, say, an Inch or
two fh length.
k jiirrlng made this little mark with
thp charcoal powder on the sun ace
ef th« contents of the bowl, lay upon
{he floor dose to the b"w a stick or
■ofna other straight object, to that U
will be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens {o be parallel with
■ cfack In the floor oir with any sta
tionary object In the room, this will
jferyp aa well.
p Leave the bowl undisturbed for a
few hours and then observe the po
sition of the black mark with reference
to the object with which It was
parallel. It will be found to have moved
ha the direction opposite to the move
ment of the earth on Its axis. The
earth In simply revolving has carried
the water and everything else In the
bowl around with It. but the powder
on the surface has been left behind a
little.
The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west, which
Is perfectly good proof that everything
else has moved the other way.
First Market Place.
The town records contain allusion*
to “the market place” as early as 1636.
Three yearH before. In 1633, the gen
eral court had ordered that a market
should be kept In Boston every Thurs
day, and the place selected was the
widest part of State street (then
known Interchangeably as Water street
and Market street) where It opened
Into the main street or highway of Rox
bury.

tried, grapple them to thy soul with

The Browning machine gun has suc
cessfully undergone a test to deter
mine Its value for use with aircraft.
This is one of three types of machine
guns with which the rate of fire can
be so synchronized with the revolu
tions of the propeller of u tractor air
plane that the gun can be fired by the
pilot of a combat plane through the
revolving blades.
Airplane propellers revolve nt from
800 to 2,000 revolutions per minute.
The machine gun Is connected with
the airplane engine by a mechanical
or hydraulic device, and Impulses front
the crank shaft are transmitted to the
machine gun. The rate of fire of the
machine gun is constant and Its fire Is
synchronized with the revolving pro
peller blades by “wasting" a certain
percentage of the Impulses It receives
from the airplane engine and by hav
ing the remaining Impulses trip or pull
the trigger so thut the gun fires just
nt the fraction of the second when
the propeller blades are clear of the
line of fire.
The pilot operates the gun by means
of a lever which controls the circuit
and allows the Impulses to trip the
trigger.
“As the latest wonder of the world
London has taken to baseball,” says
a committee on public Information
representative In London. “The Eng
lish never before had much use for
our great gnme. They called It an ex
aggerated form of rounders and won
dered what the noise was all about,
but the American and Canadian sol
diers In England have been educating
them.
“A regular league of eight teams lias
started a summer schedule, and the
English public Is learning what It has
missed. Big crowds witness the game
which Is played every Saturday, and
the sport bids fair to become widely
popular. Here is the way Thomas
Burke, the short-story writer, reports
n game In the London Star of May
27.
“ ‘Last week I discovered baseball.
The match between the Army and
Navy teams was my first glimpse of a
pastime that 1ms captivated a conti
nent, and I can well understand its ap
peal to a modern temperament. Be
lieve me, It’s good goods. And the
crowd! I had heard and read much of
busebull fans und their method of root
ing, but my conceptions were nothing
near the real thing. The grandstands,
crowded with army and navy fans,
bristling with megaphones and tossing
huts and demoniac faces, would have
made a superb subject for a lithograph
by Sir Frank Bragwyn.
“ ‘The game got hold of me before
the first pitched ball. The players in
their hybrid costumes and huge gloves,
the cutcher In his gas mask, and the
movements of the teams as they prac
ticed runs shook me with excitement.
Then the game began and the rooting
began. In past years I have attended
various football matches in mining dis
tricts where the players came in for a
certain amount of ragging, but they
were church services compared with
the lurlous abuse and hazing handed
to any unfortunate who failed to play
ball.
“ 'There was, for example, an explo
sive, reverberating “A-h-h-h-h-h” which
I have been practicing In my back yard
ever since, but without once catching
Its true quality. You should have
heard Admiral Sims, us college yell
leader, when the Navy made n home
run hit, with his “Attn boy; oh, utta
way to play ball,” und when they got
an error he sure handed the Navy
theirs.
“ ‘Yes; I’ve got It. From now on I’m
n fan. I’m going to see every buseball
match played anywhere near London.
I shall never be uble to watch with ex
citement a cricket or foothull match
after this; It’d be like a tortoise race.
Come along with me to the next mutch
und Join me in rooting and in killing
the umpire.’ ”
In March und April the secretary of

aid road act. The estimated cost of
these improvements to the states Is
about $15,000,000. The federal aid al

The army ordnance department ha*
negotiated approximately 12,000 con
tracts since this country entered the
wnr, involving within $175,000,000 of
the total funds directly available for
the department for the present fiscnl
year—$3.383,280,045. Additional con
tract* totaling $1,503,703,741 have been
entered Into on the authority of con
gress pending appropriation of an
! amount aggregating $1,671,466,750.
The magnitude of the task of the
I ordnance department financially Is evi
denced by the disbursement recently In
u single day of more than $25,000,000
on ordinary contract vouchers. Dis
bursements for the month of April,
1918. ran to $356,884,863, an interesting
j umount as compared with the $5,059,
I 264 disbursed by the ordnunce depart
j ment in April, 1917. These disburse
ments were made ut the ordnance of
fice in Washington. Amounts die
bursed at government arsenals are not
included.
One check recently drawn by the ord
nance disbursing officer for ordnance
material was for $18,750,000. One re
quisition made recently by this same
officer on the treasury was for $169,
000,000. This is the largest single requi
sition ever made by any United States
disbursing officer.
Prior to two months ngo, before the
ordnance department established its 11
district offices which zoned the country
to expedite pnyments to contractors
and relieve the strain upon the main
office In Washington, the disbursing
officer at Washington signe-l from 500
to 3,000 checks a day.
Because of the instruction of gas of
ficers who have been at the various
camps for the last six months, the
troops which are going forward to
France are well posted on methods of
combating gas attacks, says a state
ment authorized by the war depart
ment. A group of British gas officers
has been in this country since last
summer. One of these men has been
at each of the training camps, advising
and assisting the division gas officer.
All the men going overseas are sup
plied with gas helmets. Under the di
vision gus officers and their assistants,
the men are drilled in the use of
masks, taught how to detect the pres
ence of gas, and given uctual experi
ence with different sorts of gases.
Mimic gas shells nnd cloud attacks,
used often at night In connection with
high explosives, help to make the train
ing ^•enlistic.
The United States has been able to
build on the experience of the British
nnd French, to whom gas attacks were
unknown when they entered the war.
No American troops have been sent to
the froqt without practical experience
In defending themselves against gns.
The UalnlPS of instructors in gas de
fense includes a course of about one
month. Most of the gas officers nje
commissioned first lieutenants.
One of the interesting developments
of the war, according to a statement
authorized by the war department, is
the rapid expansion of the various bu
reaus of the war department. At the
outbreak of the war there were less
than 3,000 employees on duty. The
number now is approximately 25,000,
an Increase of 800 per cent. While this
represents a tremendous expansion,
the increase in the army Itself has been
more than 1,500 per cent.
Only four out of every 100 officers
In the service were in the army at the
time the war began.
The gas defense service is now manu
facturing about 5,000 horse gas mask*
per day. These are being sent to
France, and it is expected that within
a short time every horse connected
with the American expeditionary
forces will be equipped with the new
masks.
The gas defense service has a com
pletely equipped factory for the manu
facture of the masks. In less than
three weeks a building was selected
and the fnctory was producing mnsks.
The introduction of riveting machinery
lias done away with the heavy hand
sewing of the frame which supports
the mnsks on the faces of the horses.
Tlie mnsks are »o constructed that no
metal or chemically impregnated parts
can chafe the horse.
in Bnvurla the monthly meat ratloa
has been cut 20 per cent—from 1.000
to 800 grams—according to German
newspapers. The monthly ment ration
in Saxony has been reduced from 800
to 700 grams. Public officials are re

sing the possibility of a further reduc
tion of the bread ration in Prussia.
