ARTHUR F. BRANDT,
Corporal, Co. E, 168th Infantry.
Corporal Bran<lt. whose home
was with his mother. Mrs. W. F.
Brandt at PostYille, Iowa, won
the Distinguished Service Cross
for conspicuous bravery iu ac
tion northeast of Verdun.
France. October 1C. 1918. After
his company had been iu action
three days, during the attack on
the Cute de Chatillon and was
to be relieved, Corporal Brandt
volunteered to guide the com
pany to a position of security
in the rear which tie had select
ed. While tile relief was being
made under shell tire, this sol- ;
dier and four others were se- •
verely wounded by a bursting '
shell. Realizing that his wound •
would prove fatal. Corporal ]
Brandt while being carried ou a <
stretcher indicated the route to ]
be taken by the company, being •
wounded in the face and scarce- !
ly able to talk. Through his ex- '
traordinnry fortitude and will !
power, the company -was able '
to reach its position over difii- «
cult terrain and under enemy |
fire. Corporal Brandt died from i
his wounds the next day. ]
Shooting Into Space.
The question of whether It would
ever be possible to shoot a projectile
into space, that Is to say entirely off
the earth, has long been the subject
of discussion. In n detailed scientific
paper on the German h.ng ranged gun
which bombarded Paris last spring.
Major J. Maitlund-Addison, writing in
the Journal of the Royal Artillery,
says the requisite velocity of such a
gun is not so very ranch higher than
what has already been achieved; viz., j
a muwle velocity of a uiile per second.
Wheu we are able to Increase this to |
five allies per second, the projectile, i
If fir»d at a suitable angle, will travel I
around the earth as a grazing satellite, J
completing its orbit betweeu 17 and 13 '
times daily. With a velocity of about I
•even miles a second, it will move off '
Into space, never to return.
FOLKS WE ALL KNOW * I
Whenever an Inhabitant of a Small i'
Town sees anything like This breezing )'
up Main street, he says. "They must 1
be a Show in town tonight. Gosh, I j1
hope It's Better than the Last One."
The Main Trouble with the Actor Is |'
that he does Not confine All his Acting j 1
to the Stage. ']

an.l Pace insisting that ho being
the larger should have charge of

PETER GNOME'S PARTY.
"I've always loved the snow and
the slush which we get at this time
of the year," said Peter Gnome.
I "That's true, you always have," said
Billle Brownie.
And then they both hugged each
other, as they always did, and rolled
over in a slushy snow bank.
"Of course," said Peter. "I mean thai
we must have u party when I begin
talking In this way."
"I thought so," said Billle Brownie.
"I thought we might have a. fane;'
dress party," said Peter. "So let's send
out the Invitations as soon as possible.
We must have our party while we
have this nice mild weather which is
making the snow very slushy and soft
and squashy and wet." •
"All right," said Billle Brownie,
"let's get our friends, the Breeze
Brothers, to send out the invitations."
"Come hither. Breeze Brothers." said
Peter Gnome, and Peter Brownie
called out: "We have messages for
you to deliver."
So the Breeze Brothers took around
the messages to the fairies and tho
elves and the rest of the brownies and
gnomes, so t-hat all of Peter's friends
would come to the party.
The messages told theoi to wear
fancy costumes and to come that very
afternoon to Gnomeland at the edge
of the woods.
All the guests arrived on time. The
fairies,wore lovely costumes of some
The Fairy Queen Did a Beautiful
Dance.
sort of wonderful soft silky material
which kept changing colors.
First It was purple, then blue, then
lavender, and then pink. And the
fairy queen wore a silver costume
which dropped stars of silver as she
moved about. So that the whole
ground yas covered with silver stars
which shone up from the snow and
looked very lovely.
The brownies wore costumes made
of little crocus flowers of all colons.
And how much they did look like the
very early spring. The crocus flow
ers came up one day when the snow
had melted and then some more snow
had fallen upon them.
The gnomes wore costumes made
of evergreen branches,.and the.elves
wore little circus suits (so they called
them) which were of pink; and green.
One side of each suit was of pink and
the other side of green, so when they
turned one way they looked as though
they were wearing pink costumes, and
when they turned the other way they
looked as though they were wearing
green suits. And some of the time
it looked quit© funny, for some were
standing one way and some the other!
Peter Gnome was dressed in a suit
of dark purple with a very tall pur
ple hat which bad a handsome purple
tassel on the end.
Old Mr. Giant wore a costume made
out of newspapers and on his chest
in huge letters was written: "Big
Party In Gnom eland, Everybody
Happy." A»4 on his tall hat were
these words; "Weather Today Per
fect for the Slush Party."
They all walked through Peter
Gnome's slush castle, which was very
handsome, and which had beeo made
out of the soft snow. At the end of
the castle Wttty Witch sat in around
room and gave every guest a pres
ent.
And then as they all followed Witty
Witch, after all the presents had been
given, to a great courtyard with walls,
made of slush, they beheld the most '
beautiful of fountains.
The water fe^l over.a statue, made]
to Jook UKe the fairy queen, and in
the water danced many colored little
lights. First all the lights were green
and then they all changed to purple,
and then to golden, and then to silver.
All the guests cried with Joy when
they saw It, and the fairy queen did
a beautiful dance as her thanks for
the compliment which Peter Gnome
had paid her.
And then they all danced while the
many lights In the fountain played.
They were of one color at a time, hot
they changed so fast that it seemed as
though the fountain had many, many
different colors in It at the same time.
And they nil cheered Peter Gnome
for his beautiful party, his slush cas
tle. the beautiful presents and his
fairyland fountain, for they had all
had a marvelous party, full of sur
prises.
