PUNCH CATCH
LONDON, Nov. 2.—(By mail)—No
high-sounding phrases and involved
* Bible quotations make a dent on the
“Tommies” at the front. It’s simple,
soap-box, alfresco language that ar
my chaplains have to use if they get
an audience.
And all army sky pilots are doing
it, according to an officer just back
from the front.
“Men who preached from immacu
late pulpits in words of the higher
education before the war are out there
talking horse sense to the soldiers
and are having no trouble to get con
gregations,” said the officer.
Heie is a sample of the latest kind
^of sefrmon—the logic of which the
“Tomjrnies” listen to and like
“If | what I am going to say is go
ing tel make an old woman out of any
of yoi men, forget it. If it will help
you tike a try at it.
“Nqw the first thing a fellow has
got tci get hold of is that someone is
responsible for this outfit we call the
world,' Someone put it here. You
won’t find a shell in your bore or a
feed in your nosebag unless someone
has put it there. Very well, someone
put this world where it is; someone
put us here and someone is responsi
ble for our being. That’s God. I think
that’s horse sense.
“I know a man—a friend of mine,
who fights and boxes for a living—a
man with a hell of a punch—take his
own part anywhere. He’s not asham
ed say—or let you hear him say:
‘Christ help me to play the game.’
You know what we mean by that—go
ing straight with men and women.
We all know what it means, doing
your job and not doing the “dirty” to
anyone.
“What is there to be ashamed of if
a man saying in his heart—he needn’t
say it aloud if he doesn’t want to—‘i
believe in you Christ with all my
heart. I know if I go square You’ll
stick to me and I’m going to try al
ways to go square; and if you find me
getting off the track, help me to get
back.’
“I don’t want you to be a psalm
singer, wear long hair or be don’t
drink-don’t-smoke sort of fellows. I
want you to be manly. It’s hell boys
for everyone to hate the sight of you
because you’re a rotter.
"Tell Him boys that you’re out to
do a bit of good for yourselves; that
you want him to help you go straight
and clean; that you often find it a
tough job; that you want a real true
friend who knows the worst and the
best of you and I’ll warrant help will
come.”
The youn^ chaplain who “preached”
this particular “sermon” was an ath
letic young vicar from a fashionable
community of London before the
war. His weekly chat with the men
is always looked forward to at a cer
tain part of fhe front. After the chat
he’ll put on the gloves for a half an
hour with any man who has the nerve
to tackle him.
TACOMA SMELTER
IS SUED ON PATENT
TACOMA, Nov. 21.—Alleging that
for more than ten years the Tacoma
Smelting company has been manu
facturing and .selling without his
knowledge, sectional water tube
matte spouts, on which he received
a patent in January, 1905, Albert R.
Brink of Tacoma yesterday brought
suit in the federal court against the
smelting company, asking an injunc
tion against further use or sale of
the spouts by the company, those
now in use declared infringements,
and the profits from the sale made
by the company over a period of ten
years. Brink alleges that to his knowl
edge he has been damaged to the ex
tent of $40,000, and that he did not
learn for more than nine years that
the smelting company was manu
facturing the spouts.

Dear Sirs:
Enclosed find check for $44.50 for balance due on my new “Silent Smith.”
I am well pleased with the machine. Find it to be .just what you represented and better
than that, I have learned to like it and find it faster than the Underwood. I gave it a very good
test during the election. Took seventy-seven bulletins and all commercial work besides. I
will always have a good word for the L. C. Smith hereafter. Very respectfully,
It pays to buy the best from a reliable firm.
