The narrow streets were tilled with
the ru-tllqii sound of many soldiers

And yet there was somethin!,' strange
about Verdun, something different,
some change that forced Itself upon
my attention, ami yet one which I
could not determine. An American
soldier stopped near the car to light
« cigarette. Ilo Imd been whistling
“Anuic l.aurle,” and after u long \\UUT

Old
Ail Efforts to Amend Famous Statute
of Pennsylvania Have Thus Far

Once ntoro an effort Is to be made
to amend thft most famous of all
laws on the statute books of F’ehfl-
nylvnnla—the venerable blue law. en-
acted Aprtl 22. 1794.
It Is said that at every regular ses-
sion of the legislature during the 12o
years since that awful crimp whs put
in Sunday conviviality, an attempt hu.x
been made to repeal It entirely or to
amend It. Girard writes In the Phila-
delphia Press.
Hut that old Inw entitled "An net
for the prevention of vice and Im-
moralltv and for other purposes," has
survived all the assaults of those who
would destroy It.

resolution, of tumbling tli'-M-'i of daz-

Hut colossal u* was tbe conflict In
other respects, Jt was (julte tame In
Jt* supply of new words und new

delphla I’ress.
Hardly a word came Into the lan-

Only a few new exprossloiis were

’ Of course, we had the “Him," lift

out between two great powers, one of
which were to prevent the export of
saltpeter from the few ports of Chile,
it would thereby make it impossible
for the enemy to continue longer than
Its ammunition supply would Inst."
Germany had accumulated 000,000
tons of Chilean saltpeter before the
war-. It Is estimated that the Chilean
nitrate b- is will be exhausted some
time during the present century. Sci- !
ontists and engineers, therefore, are
bending every effort to other moans of

His Trouble.
Little Ben woke up February 12 all
out of sorts. Things had gone wrong
the day before^ and the prospect was
dark When his father began to help
him dress. He was on the verge of
tears, and in a few seconds he was
booihoolng.
“What’s the matter, Beh?" asked
his father.
“Why, I lost two marbles yisteday,
and Johnuy Abel frew rocks at my
little rooster, and Buddy Jones tried
to break my wagon and this is Lin-
coln’s birthday and I can t give him
any present be«-anse he’s d-e-a-n-a-d.”
Whereupon little Ben burst into
weeping that relieved him of an ac-
cumulation of sorrow anil disappoint-
ment and prepared the way for an-
other and better day in boydoih.
