J M J II 8 r HONE' 148 g HE HISTORY OF BUSH TANKS By the Associated Preis. London, Dec. 13. No one man or one department of the British gov ernment can take credit for "in venting" the tanks they came in to being as the result of a long period of study and coordinate ef fort by many men acting under three separate departments, the war office, the admiralty, and the ministry of munitions. In the autumn of 1914 when the belligerents on the western front had settled down tot trench war fare, it became obvious that some means of parrying the danger of well-directed ?id well-protected machine-gun fire from the German trenches must be discovered if the English infantry was to carry out assaults with success. One of the first proposals put for ward was for a machine 100 feet long, 4d feet !high and 80 feet wide, weighing some 300 tons, pro pelled by an 800 horse-power en gine, and with driving wheel 40 feet in diameter. Another ebrly sug gestion, and the one which led most directly to the Tanks, was made by Colonel Swinton in October, 1914, to build armored ears on a tractor system, an American invention. Experiments with various tractors were made on behalf of the war office and by a email expert com mittee of the admiralty under Win ston Churchill, then first lord. Through the medium of the commit tee of imperial defense the various efforts for the solution of the prob lem were coordinated, and certain conditions were laid down which had to be fulfilled by the proposed car. From among the numerous types of tractors inspected the most sat isfactory was found to be a caterpil lar with an endless self-laid track, over which internal driving wheels could be propelled by the engines. In February, 1916, the first tank was completed and taken down to a farm near London. Here pits, trenches and ramparts had been constructed. The tests were so sat isfactory that -an order was given on the spot for 100 machines. The ministry of munitions became re sponsible for the speediest possible construction of the order. Many improvements were made during this period of construdtion, and the first delivery was maae in juiy, 1916. TVio -netx -machines were of two slightly different types. One was called the male type, and was arm ed with two Holchkiss quicKnrers and subsidiary machine-eun am- mament. These were designed for online At close auarters with the UVUt"Q A concrete emplacements of German machine guns. rne otner oi iemaie type, was armed only with machine guns and was more suitable for Relieves Stiff Neck VTkon I.-... t Vm im wifh stiff neck or sore muscle. strains or eprains, use Sloan's Liniment.

SURVIVOR'S STORY OF DESTROYER'S SINKING Washington, Dec. 13. The first survivor's story of the sinking of the American destroyer Jacob Jones told by Lieut. J. K. Richards, was made public by the navy depart ment. It shows that small boats and three life rafts floated cjear of the wreck. The men on these were picked up after 17 hours of exposure. An official summary of the lieu tenant's account follows: "Lieutenant Richards 'said the de stroyer was proceeding towards port, after holding target practice, when, at 4:20 p. m., a torpedo was sighted by the lookout. The com manding officer, stationed on the bridge, ordered the rudder hard right and engines full steam ahead. The torpedo struck the ship on the star board side, abreast of torpedo tube ino. j. mis tube, with torpedoes was blown 200 feet in air. The ra dio was wrecked and the main mast brought down. "Guns were manned immediately, but no submarine was sighted and the vessel began to settle by the stern. The captain gave orders to abandon the ship. Whaleboats which were got out capsized. The motor sailer could not be got out. A wherry and motor dory managed to escape safely. Three life rafts floated clear. "The vessel sank at 4:20 p. m. Depth charges aboard exploded, ap parently blowing off the stern of the ship. "No survivors, except those on the boats and life rafts, were found af ter a thorough search, Lieutenant Richards said. After 17 hours in the water, the men on the rafts were picked up Vy a British ship. "The submarine, which was seen after the Jacob Jones sank, appeared to be about 150 feet in length, withh three-inch gun forward and -two periscopes." MEETING WINTER'S TROUBLES How to protect one's self from the long range of winter troubles that annually affect the majority of peo ple living in the temperate zone where weather conditions so widely fluctuate is told in the latest bul letin from the state -board of health, it says: "Winter puts a tremendous strain on a person's vitality. To be able to keep off the epidemic diseases like grippe and pneumonia, and to avoid the long range of affections of the nose, throat and the lungs from a common cold to acute pneu monia, requires . more than haphaz ard daily living habits. While san itation and other public health measures offer some protection a gainst these infectious diseases, the way you live at home determines al most wholly how much you will suffer from colds and other respir atory diseases this winter. "Personal hygiene and home condi tions are the two big factors con trolling winter diseases. Requir ing a resistance to cold is the first essential toward protecting one's self from sickness in winter. This can be done by sleeping in. cold fresh air every night and by ' taking a sponge bath or by dashing cold wat er on the chest, neck and arms and over the body in the morning. Over eating and constipation; must be strictly avoided. Over-work and great mental or physical strain low er resistance and should be well guarded against. Caution should be taken againt sudden or local chilling as wet feet, and also against undue exposure to bad weather. "The homes of the rich and well-to-do are often more unhygienic, and predisposed to colds than the simpler homes that are not storm windowed, weather-proofed and ov erheated. "Every home should have an accurate thermometer and it should be some one's duty to watch the thermometer and never let it rise above 70 degrees. It would be better if kept between 65 and 68 de grees. But cold air shut in is not fresh air. The windows should be opened at intervals to let out stale air as well as let in fresh. Dust is the microbe's aeroplane. Sleeping and dusting should be more than stirring up the dust at regular in tervals." THE MAIN QUESTION CI ! 0 9 1 1 1 H Savannah News. A lot of quarreling is going on over the question of whether Latin and Greek should have a prominent a place in the schools of the future as they have now. And a much bigger quarrel fi going on over the question of whether or not the whole world shall speak nothing but German. dealing with machine gun person nel and riflemen. At. thp ptiH nf .Tnlv. 1916. the tanks and their crews had become so pro- ncient tnat it was possiDie to noia two exhibitions combats over a Drenared trench system reproducing a line of German defenses.

The ooject was to anve xne t. nf some hisrh eround running east and south of Thiepval. The effect was an exhlirating on the British troops as .it was dumb- foundeing the Germans it is re corded that many of the British infantrymen were so overcome with laughter at their ung'ainly antics that they were scarcely able to keep up with the procession. There is no doubt that the ele ment of surprise had much to do with the extraordinary success of the tanks on their first appearance. But their achievements proved that they had more solid qualities than the gifts of surprise. Later in the year Tanks were sent to Egypt and T'ere in action at Gaza. 11 Cents 25c Tube Hygienic Tooth Paste for only 11 cents. A fragrant letriflee that cleans and beautifies tke teeth.
