At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of The Young Men's Chris¬ tian Association, Ellis Schneebeli was elected Musical Director ot the asso¬ ciation.
One organization is already enga- gO'l in practice, The Y. M. C. \. or¬ chestra. It is also the desire of the Association to have ono of the best male glee clubs in this section of the country. .V number of the nieiv'ot the town and vicinity have alrealy signined their intention of helping to bring tills desire to a realty and h.ivo left their names at the ofTico of the Y. M. C. .\. There are, however a few vacancies and any man wishing to become a member of the glee club will kindly leave his name at the ofllco.
Mr. Schneebeli is also arrjtog'ng *o organize a community chorus sir< b as was enjoyed by the people of Naz.a¬ reth a fow years ago. Xot only is Mr. Schneebeli dosinioiis of doing this but ahout twenty-.lve of our townspeople who forniorly sang in this cliorus have made Inquiry from the General Secretary and others con- encted with the Y. M.C. .M, if It were possible that the Y. W. C. A. .Vudito¬ rium might bo used as a place for re¬ hearsals. This is just what tho au¬ ditorium is for and the Association surely will welcome an organization ¦ivu h as a Community Chorus and give every' sort of support and co-orpora- tion.
That it may be possible that these musical organizations mny bo formed a fund is now in the hands of tho Y. M. C. A. for the initial financing ot the same.
There will be no cost to any one joining either the Y. M. C. A. orches¬ tra, the Glee Club or the Community Chorus.
Eovery one having ability either vocal or instruTicntal should be wil¬ ling to h"lp place Nazareth at the top In music as well as every thing else that Is good and up to the minute.

The dropping of the bomb Is si¬ milar to shooting a rifle. First you sett your sights and wind gauge, you hold tho rifle properly, and finally you pull the trigger at the proper moment. If your ammunition ia standard, your sights correct you hit the target. So with bombing. If you sot youT sights correctly, fly your plane correctly over the object and drop the bomb at the proper timo you will hit the target.

Tho message to Europe, at th.e ex¬ pense of the mon, was fho first of Its kind sent by any group of industrial workers in this country, and was the result of a suggestion made by Cor¬ poral Oscar Mouvet. of tho French Foreign Legion, addressing 7000 of the 10,000 employees attending a pa- triot'c rally at tho plant. .\s drnwn on the spot and acclaimed with choors by the workmen the message follows: —

Keep all lamps and lanterns clenn. Let the light out; don't confino it be¬ hind smoked and dirty chimneys.

Don't tfse coal oil for cleaning purposes Hot water will do the work.
From one who was on the scene we have the following ac(;ount of the re¬ cent flre at the U. S. Naval Ba.se, Hampton Reads, \'a.
"To-day was one of excitement for the station. At noon, as we were coming out of school, we noticed the "Zeppelin" was acting queerly and directly she douoled up and then dropped onto the WireUss, juat over tht; largest building on the frotvt In wliicll wore any number ot engines anil other p:irts for new machines. Tho aviators got out and away. In five minutes that ballon burst out in a sheet ot flame and was gone In the meantime the building caught lire and was a seething mass !ii flames The whole hanger was out of sight in twenty minutes
Meanwhile all the sailors on the Base wore at the scene, and every¬ thing on roofs holding hose, C. P. C's pulling hose carts, and sailors ovorywhere, nioving en masse where¬ on the need arose. Engines, books, chairs, typewriters, crates as big as a niovingvan moved out of range of :he heat as hy magic When an -or¬ der camo for "All hands on the dockl" "The crowd just changed its position withoirt losing its efflciency; just naturally surveyed on and over, picking up everything in the way.

NEW rSE EOR PENNrES.
George E. Shawdo. of Easton. made what will probably answer as a bullet-proof chest and heart protec¬ tor, which may bo by the means of saving the life of one of the Easton boys on his way to Berlin.
Botwe<>n two strong pieces of flan-
^ nel, cut out to fit over fhe chost, he pl.icod In rows one hundred and twonty-otght United Stafespenniesall the pennit^ being storilize<l and each ono was sewn separately between the flannel  with -strong  linen   thread.
It was then bound with strong tape and made to hang aroimd the neck fastened by a button. Ho said ho formtd the idea by reading an article In the press as to how a soldier's life was saved by a bulot striking a penny
! which the soldier had In his pocket. Mr. Sh&wde presenod this chest pro¬ tector to one of the boys who  left
I recently for Camp Lee.
COOLEST PI,APE TN
REFRIGEK.\TOR
Many hoirsewives have learned from sad experiences in loss of peri¬ shable foods that next to the ice 's not the coldest rl^ioo In the home re¬ frigerator. To the houre-wife wbo has not had this experience the Food .\ilniinistration gives this advice:
"Many put their butter and mill; right next to the ice becaufe the;- think this Is the coldest place, but. as a nat'er of tact, fho coldest place is at the bottom of Ihe refrigerator Hot air rises, and that is not being ccinstantly purified by circulation a- routid tbo blocks of ice .soon aro un¬ fit to come into contact with the food. When the warm ar In the re- frlgeri'tor rises it carries with it im- porl::os and nioisture which aie ab¬ sorbed from the surface of the food and which if allowed to remain in the air .^poll the food. Tho air which Is warmed by passing over tho food conies in contact with the ico -vhere the moisture Is condensed irpon the surface and tho Impurities are car¬ ried off by the melting Ice. The air is thus dried, cooled, and purified. Tlio cooled air immolnately descends to gather up more moisture and Im¬ purities and thns the process Is re¬ peated  continually.
"It Is advisable to .illow hea*eil food to cool off before placing It In tho refrigerator. If put In when warm it raises the temperature of the refrigerator higher than It should go and molts Ice imnecosBar- ily. The trapdoor throngh which the meltago passes out at the bottom of tho refrigerator should he kept In place, because If It Is broken or lost a constant atream of warm air Is al¬ lowed to flow Into the refrlgera-tor."

proelai'UUioii . ymon:
v of ad''-ossIrig y^ a subject which so vilully nffocts 111 honor of the nntlon und the very clinracter and integrity of our Insti¬ tutions Hint I trust you will think me Justlfled irf s:i.¦,iliin:: v.ry plainly about It.
I alhiiie 'o 'ill' iii'i'i wiiirli which has recently here nnd thoro vory fre¬ quently shown Its bend among us, not In nny single region, but In many ani widely separated parts of tbe coun¬ try. There have been many lynchlngs nnd overy ono of them hns been a blow at tho heart of ordered law and hninnng. justice. No man who loves America, no man who ronlly cares for her fame and honor and charncter or who Is truly loynl to her institutions ean Justify mob notion while the courts of Justice are open nnd the govern¬ ments of the states and the nation are ready and nble to do their duty. We are nt this very moment flghting law- loss passion. Oermany has outlawed herself nniong the nations because she has disregarded the sacred obll- gntions of law nnd lias iiia<le lynchers of her armies. Lynchers emu'ate her disgraceful example, and 1, for my part, am anxious to see every commu¬ nity In America rise above that level with pride and a fixoil resolution which no man or set of men cnn afford to despise.
Lynchers Traitors to the Country. We proudly cluiin to be the cham¬ pions of democracy. If we really are, in deed and truth, let us see to It that wo do not discredit our own. I say piuiiily that every Amerlc.in who takes part in the action of a mob or gives It nny sort of countenance Is no true son of this great democracy, but its be¬ trayer, and does more to discredit her by that single disloyalty to her stand¬ ards of luw and of right than the words of her btutesmen or the sacri¬ fices of her heroic boys in the trenches cnn do to mulct? suffering peoples be¬ lieve lier to be their savior. How shall we commend democracy to the accept¬ ance of otber peoples If we disgrace our own by proving that It Is, after all, no protection to the woiik? Every mob contributes to German lies about the United Stntes what her inost gifted llnrs cannot improve upon by tho way of calumny. Thoy can al least say tla.t sueh tilings cannot happen in- Ger¬ mnny except in times of revolution, when law Is swept away.
I therefore verj- earnestly and sol¬ emnly beg thnt the governors of all the states, the law otilcers of every community and, above nil, the men and women 'if every coniinunity In the United Stales, all who revere .-Vmerlca and wish to ke* p her name v.lthout stain or reproach, will co-opernte—not passively merely, but actively and wntclifuUy—to make nn end to thla disgraceful e\ il. It cnnnot live where the community does not counte¬ nance It. Show Love for Liberty and Justice. I hnve ealled upon the notion to put W.'i great energy Into this war, and It has responded—responded with a spir¬ it and a genius for actioD that ha* thrilled tbe worlcL I bow naU «mna I iintinired on page 8
