fniasli Time and again French, Eng.
if-li American, Spanish, and Italian
nventors and discoverers have, sent
tidal waves around the globe. Let us
now be specific.
The steam engine has been called
the greatest of all inventions; It broke
the shackles from slaves;-it mingled
die marts of the world! It made neigh
bors of the antipodes. Newcomen, a
native of Devonshire, obtained the pa
tent for the first partially sucessful
stoam engine; Watt, a Scotchman, per
fected it; Cuynot, Murdock.and Trevi
tick brought forward the " locomotive,
not on German soil; Stephenson, an
Englishman, was the first to apply the
locomotive steam engine to railways
for passenger traffic"; France, England,
and America applied it to navigation.
When all had been completed Germany
pulled the whistle cord,- shouted
Hock der Kaiser!" and tagged it
"jfade in Germany."
Germans Never Invented The.
The telegraph which brings us the
daily history of the world, was invent
ed by an American, Professor Morse,
who also suggested the Atlantic cable,
which was subsequently laid by that
American merchants-scientist, Cyrus
Field, assisted in "mooring the New
World alongside of the Old" by Lord
Kelvin, the prince of physicists, a
British subjecti Graham Bell, the chief
inventor of the telephone, was born in
Scotland and grew to fame in America.
A young Italian, Marconi, gave, wire
loss telegraphy to the world. The
House of Hohenzollern has made great
u.-e of theso inventions in, telling Great
Britain. America and Italy in arrogant
verbiage what the Vaterland has done
for the benighted peoples of the earth.
Cyrus McCormick. a native of West
Virginia, produced the reaping machine
which harvests the food of the w.orld;
Jlukle. o England, brought forth the
thrashing machine; thus was famine
banished. Eli Whitney, of Massachu
setts parentage, invented the cotton
gin; Hargraves. an Englishman, made
the spinning-jenny; Arkwright, also
English, supplied its efficiency with his
famous spinning frame; the English
man Kay introduced the fly shuttle in
weaving; Brunei, who Revised the
knitting machine, and' Cartwright, in
ventor of the power loom, -were Brit
ish citizens. Thus was the world
clothed. ":.
Although Germany is rnilitaristic
and worships at the shrine ; of Mars,
what votive offering has she made to
the god of war? It was not she who
contributed gun-cotton, gun powder,
smokeless pewder,. percussion- cap, ni
troglycerine, dynamite, torpedo, shrap
nel, automatic cannon, magazine rifle,
breech loading gun, gatling gun, re
volver, Maxim silencer, hammerless
gun, gunboat, ironclad battery or ship,
armor plate, revolving turret, subma
rine or airplanes.
Xo German Made These.
Since Germany borrowed her military
appliances from other nations we are
not surprised that she obtained her de
vices of prosperity from the same
fource. She did not produce the first
aniline dye, vulcanized rubber, liquid
cases, gas engine, water-gas, thermom
'er, barometer, piano-forte,' barbed
ire. cut nails, plate glass, circular

The greatest thing Germany "has done
s to falsely advertise herself as the
hghtr of the world. No son of hers in
vented the electric light, the gas light,
the acetylene light, the kerosene light,
tn? searchlight, the flashlight, the
safety lamp, the candle dip, or the fric
tion match. America. France, England
na other "untutpred nations" per
lormed these tasks. The sun, moon,

ECONOMY HOW
PRACTICED III MCE
None of the Waste During Early
Days of War is Evident
Arabian Nlxht. Wizard is a .Mere Ama
teur men Compared With the
Frenchwoman Who Saves
lbri of Battlefield.
French Front, Oct. 27. (Correspond
ence). The Arabian Nights wizard
who turned old lamps into new was
the veriest amateur compared with the
modern Frenchwoman through whose
hands passes the debris of the battle
fields. At the beginning of the war,
partly owing to the rapid movements
of the armies, , waste was prevalent
everywhere. The correspondent of the
Associated Press, while marching with
the soldiers, then saw thousands of
garments and articles of equipment
strewn over the fields and along the
roadsides where the troops had fought,
maneuvered advanced or retreated.
Nobody thought of -saving the tens of
thousands of dollars worth of dis
carded clothing and arms thrown aside
when rapid movement was necessary.
Overcoats, tunics, shoes, sweaters,
scarf,, cartridge pouches, haversacks,
belts, caps, waterproof sheets lay about
the ground in thousands. .
. Since that time the spirit of econoniy
generally present with the French
people has reasserted its ' authority,
and now everything that can be salved
is picked up and made useful. Each
of the armies has been provided with
what is known as a recuperation de-
pot, whose duty it is to examine arid
retrieve all that is possible from the
debris found on the field of battle.
The correspondent visited one of
these depots at Orleans and there
found in operation a scheme of salvage
which saves the French nation many
millions of dollars a year. It is run
under the superintendence of officero
of the army reserve mobilized , at the
opening ot 'hostilities and chosen for
their- experience- in commercial affairs.
Among them are bankers, manufactur
ers' and men drawn from many trades.
They have at their disposal machines
of the latest model, mostly of American-origin,
while .the workers are
drawn from among the wives, widows
and children of soldiers, German pris
oners, and men of the oldest classes
of the French arm y.
Some idea of the etxent of the work
done in this centre alone may be gath
ered from the wages paid 'to women
and girls employed, which amounted in
the month of August to approximately
1100,000. TheVe,are at all times stored
in the depot articles of military equip
ment to the value of $10,000,000. Ev
ery day in summer an avprage of 30
motor wagons full of debris from the
battlefields arrives and in winter this
number is increased to an average of
45 wagons. .
Thousands of odd shoes muddy and
worn and torn are sorted out into pairs
and then cleaned, repaired and made
ready to be issued again. Sometimes
they are in such a condition that they
cannot be used as soldiers' marching
boots and then the uppers are detach
ed and refitted to wooden soles, form
ing clogs, which are much appreciated
by the soldiers during their service
in wet and muddy trenches. Odd
pieces of leather are stamped out into
buttons for the prisoners' uniforms.
More than 6,000 women are employed
I nthis depot alone.
A few figures as to the results ob
tained, in this depot will demonstrate
the economic value of the system adop
ted. Two thousand rartridge pouches
are repaired on an average every day
at a cost of about one cent each, where
as new ones would cost 80 cents each.
By the repair of soiled and torn sheep
skin jackets a profit of $1,500 daily is
made. The mending of overcoats saves
the government about $3,000 daily.
With pieces of cloth cut from old uni
forms the women make 8,000 pairs of
cloth slippers daily, each pair worth
40 cents, while by piecing together old
shoes 500 pairs of new ones are made
every day.

I THEATRICAL I
Today's going to be another record
breaker at the Bijou. It's hard to
imagine that every Monday and k.eep
getting bigger and better, but It's a
fact. Bigger crowds every week, and
today the record will be broken again.
The reason? Pearl White in "The .Fa
tal jxing," the greatest serial Pathe
ever produced.
This, episode has two very great
thrills. The first Ms wnen Pearl is
thrown by Carslake and his adherents
into Quicksands and narrowly escapes
death. The other Is at the end of the
story when after many fights and mucn
fast action, she takes refuge under a
pile driver without realizing that the
immense weight of the hammer is just
above her. Horrors, but there is a
thrill here! As the picture fades Cars
lake pulls the lever and the huge piece
of iron begins to fall!
Something new under the sun! To
morrow the Bijou presents a full reel
cartoon comedy by t-aui Terry, the
greatest screen, cartoonist ye.t seen, a
burlesque on the great seven reel pro
duction "On Trial." The burlesque is
entitled "Her Trial," and is a roar. See
the cartoon here Monday and then see

a new and fresh acquaintance of life
aboard Uncle Sam's boating fortresses,

tion; also to the TJ. S. Naval Academy
at Annapolis to see how midshipmen
are trained to become officers of the
fleet; to the real .wild west to witness
thrilling contests in broncho-Breaking
by the most expert cowboys and
cowgirls; to the lumbering industry
in JVIaine; and take a ride over the
Cascade Mountains In Washington. In
terspersed with the sedate subjects, a
legion of entirely new animated car
toons will romp and ramble gaily, en
livening the entire program by their
merry antics.
At the Grand.
The biggest thing done in picture
within the past 12 months is the
words which are spoken of Vitagraph's
tremendously thrilling and enthralling
eight reel version of Robert W. Cham
bers great novel, "The Girl Philippa."
which, with dainty Anita Stewart in
the title role, is the. superb attraction
at the Grand today and tomorrow.
A .mere slip of a lass, a 'wholesome,
sprightly-charming wood violet! ,How
else can one typify Anita Stewart? .
Radiating the spirit of joy and nat
uralness imbuing all her portrayals
with that subtle of "soul" Anita Stew
art's characterization of "The Girl
Philippa" reaches the highest point of
her dramatic achievements.
She has beauty she has poise she
has magnetism. She is dainty in man
ner poised in action and finished in
performance. Her wide range and con
trol of delicate emotions her ability
to register her feelings and thoughts
so as to convey them across the screen,
her rare grace of body and her finely
chiselled features not only make her
the ideal Philippa, but. America's most
popular heroine.
In presenting this production the
management desires to know, from
their patrons, whether or not they ap
prove of the policy of presenting, at
least once a week, a great production
of this caliber, at increased prices. If
not, the management will be very glad
indeed, to go back to the original pol
icy and price of admission and class of
productions.
Vogel'i Greater Mintrel. !
The 'following criticism of Vogel's
Greater Minstrels, which will be the
attraction at the Academy of Music
on Monday, November 5th, was taken
from the Pittsburg (Pa.) Press: "The
curtain of the Empire Theatre 'when
it rose last evening disclosed one of
the most magnificent stage settings'
ever witnessed at this theatre. The
members of John W. Vogel's Minstrel
t-jupe seated in a semi-circle, with
hie symphony orchestra in the
. the whole backed by a clevertly
..iged setting of velvet, entwined
with hundreds of miniature electric
lights, made a most pleasing and orig
inal introductfon. The folio contains
some features worthy of special men
tion. The house contained a large and
most select audience, who showed their
appreciation of the evening's enter
tainment by most generous and pro
longed applause. The snow through
out, with its musical features and
many new parts with numerous jokes,
kept the house in one continuous
laughter throughout the entire performance."

Royal Advances Today.
While the Royal advances prices five
cents beginning today, it Is an advance
that the patrons will be glad to pay
when they see the real class of the en
tertainment. You don't mind . paying
to see a show when it Is really good,
and that is why you pay as high as $2
to see shows at the Academy. If all
shows were alike you'd want to see
"Katinka" for twenty-five cents,
wouldn't you. The management is now
paying 25 per cent more for shows than
ever before, and the Increase Is really
not as large in proportion as the in
crease paid for the shows. This will be
one of the biggest weeks in the history

tion for War Service.
(Special Star Correspondence..
Raleigh, Oct. 28. Foot health that
before the war was considered of com
paratively little importance has now
become a health subject greatly to be
reckoned with. Flat foot or weak foot
has been found to unfit as many or
more young men for army r navy
service as any other one defect. It
ranked second as a cause of rejection
in the navy. Defective vision was
j first and defective teeth third. It has
been saia tant tne pnysicai stanaara
of the entire American army has been
greatly lowered on account of the
American foot. It seems that this
part of the anatomy has either de
generated or has been sadly neglected
in the past several years.
Incorrect standing and walking are
said to be the chief causes-of fallen
arches, fiat feet and many other feet
troubles, while unhygienic foot wear
has in no way aided the situation. Ex
cessive "weight combined with lack of
exercise, and prolonged standing are
other important factors causing foot
trouble. Correct posture in walking
and standing and correct shoes are rec
ommended as the only cure for flat
feet. The Life Extension Institute
says:
"The proper posture in walking and
standing is to be straight ahead or
even slightly inward, rather than out
ward. In standing the feet should form
two sides of a square. By practicing
walking on a straight chalk line drawn
on the floor, the habit of toeing straight
forward can be acquired."
