'THRIFTY JEN'S IDEA
Saving Daylight , Movement
forecasted by Franklin
Back in 1784.
EXPOUNDS SCHEME'S LOOK)
Now that the nations of Europe are
practicing economy in the matter of
light by putting ahead the clock one
hour ao as to get an hour of daylight
and an hour less of artificial light, it
is interesting to know that the first
person to suggest this thing only in
a more radical way was our owa
Benjamin Franklin, ( when he was
minister to France. , "
In a letter which was published in
a Paris paper in 1784 Franklin out
lined a scheme by which the city of
: Paris at that time might save about
$2,000,000 a year in actual cost of
candles for light a sum which would
be equivalent probably to $10,000,000
today.
At that time the people of Paris
were given to very late hours and to
late rising the next day. Also, prac
tically all of the houses had solid
board shutters on the windows, which
were barred and bolted so as to ex
clude both light-and thieves. This
kept daylight out of the houses so
long as the shutters were closed.
In order tp make this suggestion
more popular, he couched his letter
in somewhat humorous form; but be
hind the humor were the cold facts
and the economical logic on which the
scheme was based.
Franklin Expounded Idea.
It was thoroughly Franklinesque
and excited some comment at the
time. He entitled his letter "An Eco
nomical Project," and addressed it
"To the authors of the Journal,' say
ing: - .
"Messieurs; ':. ,-
"You often entertain us with ac
counts of new . discoveries. Permit
me to communicate to the public
through your paper one that has lately
been made by myself, and which 1
conceive may be of great utility.
"I was the other evening in a grand
company, where, the new lamp of
Messrs. Quinquet and Lange was in
troduced and much admired-for its
splendor, but a general inquiry was
made whether the oil it consumed was
not in proportion to the light it af
forded, in which case ' there would be
no saving in the" use of it. No one
present could satisfy us on that point,
which all agreed ought to be known,
it being a very desirable thing to
lessen, if possible, the expense of
lighting our apartments when every
other article of family expense was so
mucji augmented. s
"I was pleased to see this general
concern for economy, for I love econ
omy exceedingly.
"I went home and to bed three or
four hours after midnight with my
head full of the subject. An acci
dental, sudden noise waked me about
6 in the morning, when I was sur-
firiscd to find my room filled with
ight and I imagined at first that a
number of those lamps had been
urougnt into it, but, rubbing my eyes,
1 perceived that the light came in at
the windows.
"I got up and looked out to sec
what might be the occasion for it,
when I saw the sun just rising above
the horizon, from whence he poured
his raya plentifully into my chamber,
my domestic having negligently
omitted thi preceding, evening to
close the shutters.
, "I looked at my watch, which goes
very well, and found it Was about 6
o'clock, and still thinking it was
something extraordinary that tht aun
should rise so early, I looked into the
almanac, where I found it to be the
hour given for his rising on that day.
"I looked forward, too, and found
he was to rise earlier every day till
toward the end of June; and that at
no time in the year he retarded this
rising so long as till 8 o'clock.
" Surprise of Early Rising.
"You readers, who with me have
never seen any signs of sunshine be
fore noon, and , seldom regard the
astronomical part ot me almanac, will
be as much astonished as I was when
they hear of his rising so early and
especially when I assure .them that he
gives light as soon as he1 rises. I was
convinced of this. I am certain of
my fact. I saw it with my own eyes.
And, having repeated this observation
the three following mornings, I found
always precisely the same result.
"Yet it happens that when I speak
of this discovery to others I can easily
perceive 'by their countenances,
though they forbear expressing it in
" words, that they . do not quite be
lieve me.
. "One, indeed, who is a learned
. natural philosopher, has assured me
that I must certainly be mistaken as
to the circumstances of the light com
ing into my room; for it being well
known, as he says, that there could be
no light abroad at that hour, it fol
lows that none could enter from with
out; and that, of consequence, my
windows being accidentally left open,
instead of letting in the light, had only
served to let out the darkness; and
he used many ingenious arguments to
show, me how I might, by that means,
have been deceived. .
"I own that he nuzzled me a HtHa
but he did not satisfy me; and the
subsequent observations I made, as
sbove mentioned, confirmed me in my
first opinion, ?s
"This event has given rise in 'my
mind to several serious important re
flections. 1 considered that, if I had
not been awakened ao- early in the
morning, I should have slept six hours
longer by the liyht of the sun, and in
exchange have lived six hours the fol
lowing night by candle light ' '
"The latter being much more ex
pensive light than the former, my love
of economy induced me to muster up
what little arithmetic I waa master of
and to make some calculations, which
1 shall give you after observing that
utility is, in my opinion, the test of
value in matters of invention, and that
a discovery which can be applied to
no use, or is not good for something,
is good for nothing,
, Now Suppose. .
"I took for the basis of my calcula
tion the supposition that there are
100,000 families in Paris, and that
these families consume in the night
. half a pound of bougies, or candles,
per hour, I think this is a moderate
' allowance, taking one family with an
other, for although I believe some
consume less, I know that many con
sume a great deal more.
"Then, estimating seven hours per
day as the medium quantity between
the time of the sun's rising and ours,
he rising during the six following
months from six to eight hours before
noon, and there being seven hours, of
course, per night in which we burn
candles, the account will stand thus.
Franklin in a statistical table then
figured that in Paris at the time can
dies were burned seven hours each
night durinc the 183 davsjketween
the 20th of March and thrfHOth of
September, making a total OT 1,281
candle hours, which, multiplied by
100.000 families, save a total1 of 128.-
100,000 hours which, at half a oound
of wax and tallow per hour, gives a
weignt of 64,050,000 pounds, figured up
a total of 96,075,000 livres tournois
roughly about J.',UOO,(XK).
"For the great benefit, of this dis
covery, thus freely communicated and
bestowed by me on the public. I de
mand neither place, pension, exclusive
privilege, or any other reward what
ever. 1 expect only to have the
honor of it.
"And yet I know there are little
envious minds who will, as usual.
deny me this, and say that my inven
tion was known to the ancients, and
perhaps they may bring passages out
of old books in proof of it.
"I will not dispute with these peo
ple tnat tne ancients knew not the
sun would rise at certain hours; they
possibly had, as we have, almanacs,
that predicted it; but it does not fol
low from thence that they knew 'he
gave ngnt as soon as he rose.
"This is what I claim as mv dis.
covery. If the ancients knew it, it
must have been long since forgotten,
for it certainly was unknown to the
moderns, at least to the Parisians,
which to prove I need use but one
plain simple argument.
"They are as well instructed, ju
dicious and prudent a people as ex
ists anywhere in the world, all pro
fessing, like myself, to be lovers of
economy; and from the many heavy
taxes required from them by the
necessities of the state, have surety
reason io De economical.
"I My it is imoosiible that sa sen.
slble a people, under such circum
stances, should Have lived so long by
the smoky, unwholesome and enor
mously expensive light of candles, if
they had really known that they
might had had as much pure light of

the sinking of further shafts for the
development of potash mines during

since July, 1914, must be suspended.
The ground taken by the council is
that labor is now too scarce in Ger

mines. Notwithstanding the pressure
of the war a number of new mines

WOMAN AS A SOLDIER
Deborah Sampson Wai Brave
Heroine Who Saw Service
in Revolutionary War.
BEWABDED WITH PENSION
It is not such a very uncommon
thing for women to serve in the dis
guise of soldiers. The history of our
war of the Revolution makes mention
of several. - Their services, however,
could not have come up to the mark
nor the disguise perfect enough to
detection, for "discharged" is ' the
brief record of nearly all.
In the war of the Revolution two
or three instances of heroic action
were gratefully acknowledged by the
Jovernment and suitable rewards con
erred.
But no adventures of the kind at
traded so much attention as the won
derful romance of the Massachusetts
f:irl who actually served in the Revo
utionary army through a long term,
and rendered services valuable
enough to be rewarded by a pension
during; lite. -
Deborah Sampson was born in 1760.
As a child she had often fancied her
self a future defender of her country.
Her ancestry must have been, in a
measure at least, responsible for this
heroic thought of becoming a hero
ine of the American Revolution, for
she was the grand-daughter of Elisha
Bradford, of Plymouth.
Her father, Jonathan Sampson,
seems to have been an unlucky man,
for soon after his marriage to Miss
Bradford he failed in business. Later
he sailed for Europe and was never
heard of attain.
His absence left his family in poor
circumstances, compelling the mother
to part with little Deborah when the
child was scarcely hve years old.
' Influence of a Vision.
In April, 1775, she declared that
she had had one ot the most remark
able visions -ever given a mortal,
which she described in glowing lan
guage and which no doubt had as
marked an influence on her future
career as that of the vision and voices
of Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans.
She seemed to stand on the summit
of a hill commanding the view of the
sea in a terrific storm', the waves
swelling like mountains ships dis
mantled and sinking, farmers fleeing
from the sweep of waters over the
land. A serpent that appeared to rise
from the ocean pursued her as she
fled through the streets flowing with
blood, its eyes of fire burning into her
very soul. ,
Then a voice seemed to sav:
"Arise, stand up; gird yourself and
prepare to encounter the enemy I"
With a bludgeon she fought the ser
pent, which soon changed in form to a
monstrous fish, having capital letters
on his tail. When she beat him back
he became an ox. and rushed at her,
but finally backed away before her
weapon.
This dream she interpreted as mean
ing that abe must obey the command
to the letter the voice had given her.
Naturally her imagination was power
fully impressed.. After that vision, at
all events, the secret resolve she after
ward carried out began to De lormea
Her patriotic enthusiasm arose to
the stars. She made up her mind to
visit in disguise the world she so
longed to see. she made nerseit a
suit after the pattern of one belong'
in to a member of her master's fam
ily. Her share of profits from the
sheep, cows and hens enabled her to
buy a hat and shoes. She' herself had
spun and woven the cloth she needed
for her outfit.
The onlv thought that marred her
happiness was the grief she knew she
would leei'ac leaving ner momcr. Al
though she had been but little witn
her, it was all she could do to keep
the tears back when tne crucial mo
ment came. Tears, however, are not
for soldiers to shed, not even for
maiden soldiers. She stuck bravely to
her guns and made the parting as
brief as possible.
V Testing Her Disguise.
She set out on the road to Taunton
on the way to Bedford. There she
had the courage to speak to several
man ai a test of the sex she was
assuming, and was advised by some of
tnem to oner ner services as waucr
on board a ship going to ses.
Her heart gave a jump. The test
had been successful so far. Of course,
she did not take their advice, as she
had tin intention of following the sea,
even for the sake of the adventure.
Her one idea was to tight tor ner
country. . . '
' In May, 1781, she was accepted as a
soldier in the army at Worcester un
der the name of "Robert Shurtliffe."
She was sent to West Point with fifty
other soldiers. There her country
suit was exchanged for a blue coat,
having white wings on the shoulders
and cord on the sleeve, blue trousers,
half -boots, a cap with a variegated
cockade and a plume tipped with red.
Altogether a most fetching and soldierly-looking
soldier, for she was
more than common tall (five feet
eight) and well proportioned, and had
regular teatures.
Her first experience in action was aa
a scout round about Tarrytown, N. Y.,
when she was wounded, mere were
two shots in her coat and one through
her cap. Then she was with the ad
vance guards under the command of
General Marquis de Lafayette.
When the army Baited two miles
from Yorktown. the soldiers were or
dered to lie on their arms all night.
The severe service, the fatigues and
the terrible privations she was obliged
to undergo were ten to me marrow
of her bones, but her indomitable
inirit never deserted her.
Indeed, the desire to further serve
her countrv burned higher than ever
in her heart She felt she could sum
mon up grit enough to endure all that
her companions went through.
They bad no' been a week in this
neighborhood when she was ordered
to work on a battery. She persevered
in her task, though she was twenty
four hours without food or water, and
her hands were badly blistered.
It was the first time Deborah had
seen the main armies together. The
ground trembled tor miles around
under heavy cannonade. When the
Dieces of artillery were act off sheets
of fire and smoke filled the air, and
the scene was altogether on terrible
enough to daunt the boldest man, let
alone an experienced woman
: Leading a Bayonet Charge.
General de Lafayette ordered his
men to storm the two forts of the
enemy and to carry them at the point
of the bayonet Deborah was ordered
to go with this squad. The attack was
made with unflinching bravery, and
"the Blooming Boy," as the army had
nicknamed her, carried her bayonet as
bravely as any soldier in the regiment
"The Blooming Boy" was much de
bilitated by her marches. She had no
shoes, wearing rawhide cut into strips
and during the work of repairing the
huts her feet were frozen, v
She was often advised to desert.
The men did not know their com
panion. Rather would she die by her
own hand than commit inch a coward
ly act.
She even refused to be vaccinated
or to go to the hospital tor any ail
ment. She pretended to have had the
smallpox, for fear of discovery in 'he
hospital overpowered her fear of the
disease. She continued to do her full
duty as a common soldier and worked
in the buildings at West Point, asking
no indulgence or quarter. .
The next distinguished leader undei
whom she fought was General Philip
Schuyler, who called for aid against
the Indians on the frontier. Deborah
offered her services, which were
promptly accented.
During the ghastly battle, when the
bodies of women and children were
lying wounded and mangled, "Robert
Shurtliffe" nearly lost his fighting
blood, but only for the briefest instant.
She made several heroic rescues by
smashing her way in a house that had
been attacked by the savages, and
whose owner had fled for his life.
In 1782 or 1783 Deborah was sent
with a detachment of troops to Phila
delphia to suppress a mutiny. Here
she was taken ill and was at once re
moved to the hospital. Dr. Binner
placed his hand on her heart to as
certain if it was beating. To his sur
prise, on opening the shirt he found
an inner waistcoat drawn so tightly
aroinst the' breast as to compress it.
He quickly ripped it open. Then, to
his utter amazement, be discovered
that his patient was a woman.
Aftef her recovery Dr. Binner gave
her a letter to a certain general at
West Point In it he asked that a
pension be given her, but he also be
trayed her carefully guarded secret.
She was completely overcome at
this base treachery and begged the
general for her life. She received an
honorable discharge from General
Knox, with testimonials from Generals
Patterson and Shepard. shortly after
this she rejoined her relations in
Massachusetts.
Deborah Sampson offered her serv
ices to her country, well knowing that
a soldier's life must necessarily be
one of hardship, privation and unceas
ing sacrifice.
The general court stated that Deb
orah Sampson "exhibited an extraor
dinary instance of female heroism by
discharging the duties of a faithful,
?:allant soldier, and was discharged
rom the service with a fair and hon
orable character." Philadelphia Press.

PRINCE MTS FRONT
Only Son of King Emmanuel
Most Envied Boy in All
Italy.
PROUD 07 HIS DAB1NG
(Correspondence or Tne Associated freu.)
Headquarters of the Italian Army
July 23. The most envied boy in all
Italy is Humbert Nicholas Thomas
Jean Marie envied not because he
is heir apparent to the Italian throne,
but. because he is the youngest boy
who has been officially permitted to
see the Italian front'
This only son of King Victor Em-
manncl, who is known as the Prince
of Piedmont, is but 12 years old, and
has had some remarkable adventures.
He is head of the Young Explorers
of Italy, a body that corrsponds to
the boy tenuis :n America, and he
has done a lot of things that any
bov would like to do. He has gone
up in aeroplanes, down in submarines,
steered warships, sailed boats, shot
wild boars, and ridden avalry horses.
But the. things he is proudest of
are his visits to the front, for he.
has been here not once, but many
times. His first was a matter of con
siderable famur discussion. In the
royal family of Italy all such mat
ters are talked over in the same fash
ion that they would be in any large
American family. Humbert has three
sisters, two older and one younger
than he, all of whom love him very
much, and it is related that they did
not agree about the safety of a visit
to the front. His father, who has
been at the front since the war be
gan, as a matter of duty, felt it was
rather risky business letting his only
son "et witnin reacn ot Austrian
shells and bullets, aside from the
usual hazards of rouirh army life.
But Humbert pleaded ao hard that
the family decided, to let him come.
The deciding vote was cast by his
tutor, Commander Bonald of the
navy, who is a much easier master
than the one who brough up the pres
ent king.. Io fact, it is stated that
the present king, remembering his
own. Spartan training, chose Com
mander Bonald as his boy's tutor
because oi nis gentler qualties.
Fearless Like Father.
Once at the front, vounar Humbert
displyed the same fearlessness that
has characterized his father during
his stay there. He went practically
everywnere, tell in love, with the
soldiers, was petted by them in. re
turn, and all in all had a fine time.
Indeed, he liked the front so much
that he has since got permission to
visit it again and again, until now his
happy smile and his sailor uniform
of blue serge have become knewn to
the soldiers all alons the front.
It is related that during his last
visit, when the weather was warm
on the lower hills of the Isonm fivar
front, seeing some soldiers going
oareiooten ne insisted on taking oil
his own shoes. "If the soldiers can
go barefooted, why can't a sailor?"
he demanded.
While the first nrlnce of hl lin
destined to a naval career, young
numoert inces tne army as well as
the navy. His fondness for soldiers
comes from his associations with his
aged grandfather, King Nicholas of
Montenegro, who has been a soldier
all of his life and involved in wars
with both Austria and Turkey. Hum
bert loves his srra'ndfather verv much
and has always insisted on hearing
.w w iaiKi a CApiuns iu war.
Strong and Robust
His physical training has made of
him an unusually strong boy for his
age. A year previous to the war,
young Humbert was nominally un
der the direction of Miss Brown, the
English governess in charge of the
girls of the family. Nevertheless he
has tound manv hours for snort, nar.
ticularly at Castle Forziano. an estate
overlooking the Tyrrenian Sea, pur
chased by his father and converted
into a hunting forest. There in the
summers before the war he tramped
in the forests with his father or play
ed with his sisters along the seashore,
took swims in the sea, or sailed boats,
as ne cnose. it was not an uncom
mon sight to see him there all but
naked somewhere about the beach.
after the fashion of the boy the
worm over, as nis tather also rents
the island of Monte Cristo, made fa
mous in the novel of Alexander Du
mas, the little prince has also made
many, yacht trips with the family to
this island. '
Brought up in the tolerant manner
of his father, Humbert is all boy,
through and through, and is not
averse to some of the1 mischief that
characterizes the American boy. It is
related that when Lloyd Griscom was
American ambassador at Rome and
was received at the palace of the
quirinal in an informal way by the
king, young Humbert on one occas-

popes. As the ambassador was ob
serving the quaintness of the gar
dens, in going through a narrow path
he was surprised to find himself
sprayed with water leaping right up
up out of the path. His boy guide
had led the ambassador purposely
into the path, where a hidden foun
tain was made, to work by the simple
process of stepping upon the stones.
"Just one of his tricks," the king
apologized. "The little rascal pulls
the buttons off my uniform coat
sometimes when he cornea up to kiss
me."
The latest exploit of this young
ster was to mount aloft in a hydro
aeroplane. When at Tarante, the
naval base, inside the heel of the
shoe that the peninsula of Italy forms
in the south, and where a number of
American aviators have been helping
in the training of the Italian flyers,
he sought and obtained permission
to take a ride. . "He went up smiling
and came down smiling," remarked
one of the American aviators. "Some
day they'll call that lad the smiling
king." '

Dreshers Know How Because
They've Handled Cloth and
Materials for Eighteen
Years.
DRESHER PROCESS PER
FECT. A good tailor who makes up hla
mind to enter the cleaning and dye
ing game is generaly a better clean
er and dyer than one who has not
served n apprenticeship at tailor-
to. , . . "
You see, it s this way: when one
has spent eighteen years making up
and selling clothes, as have Dresner
Brothers, one must certainly become
thoroughly familiar with the charac
teristics of every weave, thread,
cord, style, color, surface, etc. That's
just the case with Dresher Brothers,
the immense cleaners and dyers at
2211-2217 Farnam St., because
Dresher Brother; have spent eigh
teen years in the tailoring business;
in fact, are still operating Omaha's
most popular tailoring establishment
at 1515. Farnam St.
Dreshers know the . Cleaning
game as thoroughly as they know
the Tailoring trade; they are able to
personally take hold and do any of
the pieces of work at their vast
plant, from firing the boiler to dye
ing a waist.
Therefore, make up your mind to
it that you are entrusting your pre
cious "Palm Beach" garments to
knowing hands when you send them
to Dresher Bros.' Cleaning Plant at
2211-2217 Farnam St. Dreshers
clean "Palm Beach" Suits just as
they should be cleaned; just as eigh
teen years of experience among
cloths and fabrics would suggest.
Dreshers won't harm a thread of the
most expensive "Palm Beach" Gar
ment you possess; they will clean it
so that it will fairly dazzle in the
sun, and will clean it speedily and
cheaply.
Dreshers charge but $1 for clean
ing and pressing a man's two piece
"Palm Beach Suit, while a Lady's
"Palm Beach" suit will be cleaned
and pressed for only $1.50.
Better phone Tyler 845 for a
Dresher man, or leave your work at
Dresher The Tailors' establishment at
1616 Farnam St., at the Dresher
Branch at the, Burgess-Nash Co. es
tablishment, or at the Dresher
Branch in the Brandeis Stores. And,
always remember that Dreshers na.
the express or parcel post charges
one way to any point on any sized
bundle.
