Mussel pearl, Ivory nut and bone
form the buttons ou different articles
of the uniform. Aluminum Is used In
the bayonet scahbatd, canteen, cup,
knife and meat can. Iu the slicker are
nine nnd a half ounces of rubber.
Horsehlde and leather, wood, Iron,

DRINKING AMONG SCHOOLBOYS.
Some time ago a schoolmaster of

whom alcoholic drinks were unknown;
(2) those who drank occasionally; (3)
those who drank beer once a duy; (4)
those who drank It twice dally; (5)
those who drank it thrice. The results

THE NATIONAL AMENDMENT.
"If the proposed amendment shonld
be adopted by three-fourths of the
states," says United States Senator
Sheppard, speaking of national prohl
bltlon, "tho traffic In Intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes would be
forbidden anywhere within the Ameri
can republic. Prohibition would be Im
bedded In the organic law of the na
tlon. Is It not tlnio thnt the federal
government, the largest social unit we
hnve, should take a hand when tho
traffic In a poisonous drug Is taking
from the enrnings of tho American
people six times as much ns they ex
pend for bread, ten times as much ns
they expend for furniture, nnd twico
ns much ns they expend for clothing?
As I view the matter," concluded Seme
tor Sheppard, "the member of either
branch of the American congress who
denies tho power of amendment to the
states, especially nn amendment which
vast numbers of the people desire tho
states to consider, violates the basic
principles both of the constitution and
of popular government, repudiates tho
fundamental rights of the states and
overturns the two most sacred priv
ileges the people possess, the privileges
of referendum and of petition."
The man who Is not willing thnt the
question of national prohibition be sub
milled to n poll of the states Is not
traveling the path of safe democracy

ATTACK OF KNITTING NERVES
Many Women Suffering Fr.om Trouble
and an Epidemic Feared, Declares
Physical Director.
Now it's "knitting nerves," caused
by concentration of mind nnd hand
on the needles. Thousands of women
In New York ore nllllcted, according to
Dr. Louis n. Welzinlller, physical di
rector of the West Side V. M. C. A.,
who adds that his only patients show
Ing symptoms of the new war-time
complaint hnve been women. Doctor
Welzinlller says that there Is liable to
be an epidemic of "knitting nerves"
unless knitters learn to knit properly.
lie offers the following advice as a
remedy :
"Don't hunch over your knitting; sit
upright, nnd when your mind tells you
you hnve knitted enough, quit. There
are Sfci days In a year, and you cou
finish a sweater In a day, no matter
how much you love a soldier or a sail
or."
Dr. C. T. Chrlstensnn of the Psycho
logical Research society concurred In
the predictions of Doctor Welzinlller.
Ho attributed the nerve scourge to
the failure of women folk to compre'
hend "the vibrations of nerve laws."
He continued :
"The women are overworking them
selves. Knitting has become a craze.
Nerves cannot stnnd this strain."

Early Submarines.
The modern sulniiurlne is tho result
Of the slow development of an Idea
and the cumulative work of many in
ventors. Successful experiments In
submarine navigation were made con
slderahly more than 100 years ago. In
1747 the Gentleman's Magazine, a Lon
don periodical, published n picture of
a submarine boat that wus being op
erntod on the Thames. It was Invent
ed by an Englishman mimed Symnns.
Between J773 and 1770 un American
named Btislmell built a submarine boat
which was used In actual warfare, but
with little or no effect. It embodied
sonio of the features of the modern
submarine. Between 1790 nnd 1810
Robert Fulton, American Inventor of
the steamboat, built several suhma
rlnes which served to demonstrate the
feasibility of underwater navigation,
but he died before completing his ex
perlments. Experiments and Inven
tlons continued In several different
countries until the present fighting
machine was developed.
