Obeying the first rule for longer life on the western front, these two German soldiers are keeping their
heads down low as they operate a trench mortar designed for hurling grenades. The mortar eaves a great
deal of wear and tear on the arms, and gets a much longer range than can be attained by hand-throwing.
The grenades may be sent on their way while the soldier is lying in comparative safety. The mortar guns
are well adapted to trench warfare and are used by both allied and Nasi forces.

county work and the remaining 45
per cent in the state.
Children' Clinic
In telling of the work that is be
ing done for crippled children in
this county, Mrs. Josephine Dixon
Gaines, county nurse, gives some
interesting figures.
"The Orthopedic clinic being held
in Bryson City once a month
treats an average 'of four pa
tients from Macon county at every
clinic; 25 crippled children under
21 years of age have been treated
during the last year a number of
times,'' says Mrs. Gaines.
Rotarians Sponoor Work
In addition to these cases, 16
hospital cases are reported, the
Rotary Club spending $88.00 for
transportation to and from hospitals
in Asheville, Gastonia and Green
ville, S. C.
' Shoes with braces and back braces
have been supplied, and extra sur
gery provided when needed, which
had to be done Outside the chil
dren's hospitals. Many of the chil
dren treated are victims of infan
tile paralysis and tubercular bone
affections, who would otherwise be
crippled or . helpless for life.
There is perhaps no cause ask
ing for public support that is o
appealing or that accomplishes
greater benefit than this work for
the crippled.
The Golden Rule contains no
inches or feet, but yet it is the
standard of measurement of all
mankind. :
