DEATH TERMINATES ROMANCE., French War Bride of Late Officer Returns Home Bereaved. Anderson county's first and only one of the many Fiench brides of American soldiers who went overseas during the world war, left here yesterday on the long journey back to her home, death having stepped in and brought to a sudden and pathetic cliJF max a war romance by claiming the gallant young officer of the United States army, who had broight his helpmeet to this country but a few months ago. She is Mme. Martha Ernestine G. Oliver *ho was married ia Toulousa one year after the close of the war to Lieut. William B. Oliver, Sixth United States infantry, whose father, the Rev. William B. Oliver, is pastor of Lebanon cnurcn mat county. Lieutenant Oliver, instructor at Camp Benning, Ga., army training school, died a few weeks ago and since his death his little widow has been staying with her husband's people. During her residence here she made many loyal friends who were loath to see her return to France. +v^ a the little widow's de VU W11V V ? V V* VM? - - parture the local post of the 'American v r* Legion, which has manifested a great interest in her and rendered valuable and unselfish service in her behalf, presented her with a little token of esteem and goodwill which she may carry back to France as a constant reminder of the friendship of these young veterans of the world war and comrades in arms of her late husband in the great struggle for humanity. Bpf The memento presented her was in K the form of a minature sterling Wf silver loving cup, bearing the inscripV tion: "Martha Ernsteine G. Olivei*. Affectionate regard and goodwill, w. A. Hurgens post No. 41, the American Legion, Anderson, S. C., U. S. A., April, 1821." A sister of the dead officer, Miss Lucy Oliver, will accompany Mrs. Oliver to France and spend the summer with her. To this young lady the American Legion post presented a handsome little diary, appropriately inscribed with a message of affection and goodwill. o We Have the Best Teeth, BUT? Even the young people of today can remember when no one thought of going to a dentist until he had a i-.il " " IOOUUU.UC. And yet today some of us are so well educated in cause and effect that if we have a pain in the knee we suspect that something may be wrong with our teeth. More tooth brushes are sold in the United States than aU the rest of the world. More dentists are practicing in the United States than in all the rest of the world. We are probably at least a generation ahead of any ether nation in the | matter of the attention which we give to our oral hygiene. One way to pick an American out of a crowd in a European city is to look at his teeth. Wc have the best teeth of any people. And yet? We are told that if a dentist could examine the mouths of every person in a theatre tonight, he would find nearly everyone needing dentistry of i some kind. An investigator reported at a recent _?*-- ? o <iont?i ^ocietv that less f meeting ui ? ? than twelve per cent, of the people of the United States employ a dentist or appreciate the importance of mouth hygiene. Examinations have revealed that there is an average of five cavities in the mouth of every American. These new figures show how large is the task before us. They indicate wthat when people are once aroused to the importance of a clean mouth and healthy teeth there will be a demand for denistry that will put that profession on a 12-hour day. My own experience has been that half-yearly visits to my dentists are a matter of great economy. I mentioned this to him one day, and he told i me that those of his patients who f came in regularly for examinations I spent far less money with him than those who waited for a toothache to IB bring them in. IB But the money economy of this IB mouth hygiene is the smallest factor. A neglected mouth breeds disease. Millions of people have neuritis, rheuW matism and many common diseases of the stomach, kidneys, heart and lungs?all caused, we are told, by infected teeth. Modem denistry, without ttouoi, isthe cheapest and most effective health insurance we can buy. o Receives Memorial Tablet. Spartanburg, May 1.?Judge Georgt W. Nichols, of Spartanburg, has received from King George, of England a beautiful bronze tablet, presentee by the royal family of England it grateful recognition of the valian service rendered by Lieut. Willian - Montague Nicholls. son of Judg< Nicholls who was killed in his ma jesty's sen-ice on the battlefield o France. Accompanying the bronz< tablet is a- letter from King George which contains the following mes- b? sage: ci "Buckingham Palace. ' ? ^ "I join with my grateful people in sending you this memorial of a brave w life given for others in the great war. ce (Signed) "George R. I." ca The bronze tablet or medallion is beautifully designed and bears the in- m scription "He died for freedom and w honor". The tablet also bears the hj name, "William Montague Nicholls." th William Montague Nicholls, young- P* est son of Judge and Mrs. George W. Nicholls, enlisted under the English flag and served with conspicuous gal- ni lantry as a lieutenant of artillery, sc He was killed in action early in 1916, de being one of the Americans who gave their lives in the service of the English government and the memorial re- vr! ceived by Judge and Mrs. Nichols is ba believed one of the first ever received ha in the United States from the King pr of England. ba # 2 Measurements?Their Importance , w] bi James Watt could not make a stem y engine until men were able to measure so exactly that a cylinder and pis- ^ ton could be built that were steam- p, tight and yet allowed free play. A, The automobile of today was not 01 possible until men could measure the y, five-thousandths of an inch as easily as a carpenter does a foot. Although these fractional meausure- ^ ments are not of apparent importance te to the average man, in reality nearly re every modern comfort he uses is made a possible by the work of scientitst who developed and gave to industry our w wonderful system 01 weights and M measurements. Much of this woik is done in the 2 United States Bureau of Standards ^ at Washington. p( The influence of the research conducted by the bureau touches us on all sides?in the rails on which we travel, the concrete floorings in our fireproof office buildings, the steel C girders over our heads, in the measures we receive in store and market. Many intricate instruments of marvelous nrecision are kept in the Bu- ct reau of Standards. R Here is preserved the bar of plat- p< inumiridium on which ?s marked the 1J standard meter?a copy of the origi- sc nal standard meter of the world, In ni France. to The scale on this bar is so fine it lit can hardly be seen with the naked eye. a When a meter is brought to the bu- al reau, to be compared with the stand- tl ard, both bars are placed in a recep- ir tacle which is in turn put into an oil li< bath and kept at even temperature. m By the aid of delicate micrometer n< screws and microscopes the differ- fc ence, if any, is recorded. m Observations are made to one-mil- b< lion-two-hundredf-and-fify-thousandths tr of an inch. p< The fine weights used in scientific m 1 CO <0 & fg CO eg Q # gsfS + 6 ^.VS ?-*v i-+ H !* ] i 1 I HXUHH :: It is our intention t] J full value I or every uu :: We value the endur :: those who transact bus Our Hardware Ser :! while, worth your trac :: We will please you money.

Instruments ive been devised that ?an endure lis terrific heat and ^:ord its tem;rature.

This heavy n ir is supported at each end and a P nail mirror is fixed at the center; & >ove is a phrtially silvered mirror, e hich reflects the light of a sodium 3 irner, showing a series of black and ^ dlow concentric rings. The weight of a visiting card on y e bar will cause these circles to ex- c ind outward, and the pressure of a lger causes the formation of five ^ six new circles, which means that :e bar has been bent about one-twen-millionth of an inch. An impressive feature of the engin- ' iring division is the huge Emery sting machines. These exert and gister a pressure sufficient to break ow/4 of tfio same time sweei jjiiuci, auu ~? e so delicate that they can record ith equal accuracy the force requir- t I to crush an eggshell.
