The trench newspaper died with the of the world war, but in England ^mud- France tottay there are not n few V^WdiRots whd, although naturdlly joy ous at the thought of peace, betray • :* degree of sadness because of the * disappearance of these famous little ' publications. * -..rj Editors and reporters were sought ■X^out' to serve the occasion from all j ( £ftinks‘ and conditions. Typewriters, papers and pencils were spirited fro** . somewhere, and the trench papers were produced, in most cases, on the firing line. They had to overcome in numerable difficulties. Laughing at death and destruction, it was their mission to lighten the task of the fighting men. But now the little papers have been scrapped. Editorial offices in the shape of dugouts, bell tents and broken- down lipts were stripped with the sign ing of the armistice, and the Squib, Rocket or Patrol remain only ns mem ories. It Is said of one of these little pub lications on the British front that not one of the original editorial staff lived to rend the last words of the paper they brought into being. Men came and went, but the paper was pre- 'served until the Inst. ' COUL’I lisi: HIS HEAD, BUT— ’ Sam Weilld rt'ave Aad ’ Wore 1 CartflA v ‘<lence Mad tie' Been In Pocreision bf Another'We&tidn.

The town of Wyoming, three miles south of Dover, Del., has a phenome non which officials and residents have been unable to explain. The w-'er system, pumping station and tower i c a qn.irter mile from the town proper with si tank which is nearly 100 *.•«?• high sind has a capacity of se*e n thousand gallons. Usually It has in quired an hour or longer to fill o.e tank by pumping from the driven wells and refill it as water is drawn by con sumers. Within the past week the unusual tiling has happened. The keeper of the pumping station was surprised to see the tank filled in about 20 minutes of pumpfng aril in some instances not that long. It Is also noticed that even after the pumps’have been shut down the water gushes up the pipe for a con siderable height. Causing'the tank to overflow. Witli this peculiar situation several town wells have gone dry, the pre sumption being that the pumping sta tion has struck the same vein of wa ter. Residents with such useless wells have been compelled to tap the town water supply. NOW BACON HAS A ttVAL French Professor Asserts Thfit Wil liam Stanley, Earl of Derby, Real ly Was “Shakespeare.’' To tiioso who fake argumentative pleasure in Ihe conviction that Bacon wrote Shakespeare, the Introduction of yet another candidate for that dis tinction must he rather annoying. Wil liam Stanley, sixth earl of Derby, is the latest “real Shakespeare,” discov ered and produced by ; Prof. Abel Le, Frank, a French scholar, who claims that only an Englishman who had lived In France could have written “Love’s Labor Lost,” and that William Stanley was the only contemporary English man who fits the bill; also that theS’e was an instinct for the theater in the Stanley family, and that William Is, known to have written poetry. The argument seems to be about as com plete ns that of the person who found a passage in a letter from. Sir Philip Sidney which mentions “VClR. my Lord of Leicester’s Jester,” and. not' being able to find out Jiist where Shakespeare was, and what he was do ing at the time, decided that he was probably “my Lord of Leicester’s Jester" himself.—ChHsttAn Science Monitor. from Charleston where he haa been serving in the Navy. . ..•■> Geo. ‘Wilson, of Richmond, Va., spent' yhstferday in Florehce on bust ness. t)r.

Largest Tunnel inAhe'World. , ^ Notwithstanding the' war, thV largest tunnel in the world is well under course of cohstructlofi in France, its Object being to give Marseilles'conVicc- tion with'Paris and the. interior of the country in general by rail and Aba ter. ’fhe canal will provide ample wa terway for barges. The new harbor and the cutting of a ship canal, actual ly tunneled through solid rock for five lOhg miles, joining the old harbor and tjie Slediterranean to the River Rhone. The Rhone’s upper stretches are placid and already are used extensively'for barge navigation, but near Marseilles the stream is far too turbulent for commerce, A range of hills had pre vented the construction of a canal in days gone by. Now, with France en ergized by the war and with tin* neces sity for ihe canal pmphasfzeq there by, the tunnel Is being cnt. hnd the canal will soon be opened. The work was begun In 1011-12, and,'has been continued through the war. By this canal and links already available, barges can be sent from the Mediter ranean lo the English channel. Cause of Oil Rashes. Oil rashes in users of cutting lubri cants and cooling liquids are found by the British department of scientific and Industrial research lo he generally due either to plugging of the small glands at the roots of the hairs of arms and legs, or to mechanical abra sion of flic skin by suspended metal particles in the cutting oil. Suppura tion or abscesses may result. Pre ventives are dusting the skin with starch and zinc oxide powder before touching the oil, abundant after-use of soup and hot water, sterilizing of oil by heating lo .‘100 degrees Fahren heit and frequent change to clean cut ting oil. « Mr. and Mrs. D.
