HOBSON IS RIGHT For a long time Representative Hobson, of Alabama, tried to persuade Congress to build ships in order to be ready for defense against any foreign enemy. Congress ignored the warning by that young man, and today this country finds it very necessary to wake up and run and rush to do the very thing that would have been done had it listened to the wise plea made by Mr. Hobson. In the time of peace is the time to prepare for self defense. This country is now in a great war with a powerful nation—a nation which for years, is said, to have been preparing for this present conflict. But while we are at war, it is clearly seen that more colored men, women and children are being killed right here in this country than American soldiers in the war. To say nothing of the East St. Louis murdering of colored people and the murdering of colored people at Chester, Pa., a few days ago, only last Sunday, the 29th of August, two colored young men, who were brothers, were taken from jail at Amite, La., and lynched. These young men were simply charged with the murder of a white man. Mark you, they were simply suspected of the murder. They were not given a trial before the court. They might have been able to prove their innocence, (I use the term "innocence" advisedly, because the law holds that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty.) The courts of justice and the door of hope is closed in America in so far as the colored man is concerned. But I am drifting from what I want to get at, I said that Representative Hobson endeavored to impress upon the members of Congress, some years ago; the necessity of a larger navy, etc., but was ignored. Now, it goes without saying, that the colored people in this country are law abiding. They are for peace, and there is no better evidence of these facts than the inability of the colored people to defend themselves against the lawless mobs which are attacking them today in all sections of this country, only to find them disarmed and thereby unable to protect themselves and their homes against the invasion of the lawless mobs. Yes, we are for peace. We are law-abiding, but since we are being pursued and shot down in the streets, and our homes are being destroyed by the miserable ruffians of this country, and since the authorities of the law refuse to give us the protection which is due us, the colored people are compelled, from this time on, to be prepared to defend themselves when their homes are being attacked by these ruffians. The United States is not down on her knees praying to God to deliver her from the powerful hand of Germany. No, she knows that prayers were never intended to do the work of bullets, so she has sent her vast navy and army across the seas to teach Germany that the Americans will not any longer tolerate her ruthless sinking of ships, and destroying the lives of American men, women and children. But before sending our soldier boys away the President called the nation to pray for the safe voyage of her soldiers. So we must pray first and then get up off our knees and proceed to do something, for prayers were never intended to do the work of bullets. Little David prayed before he met the mighty Gollath. He said, "I will go in the name of God," etc., but after he prayed he took his sling, and with it slew the mighty giant Gollath. Now, I have tried to outline to you, my colored brethren and sisters, the necessity of prayer, and the effectiveness of bullets. The one was never intended to do the work of the other. Now, respecting this wholesale murdering of our men, women and little children by these hellish mobs, the thing for the colored people to do is to provide themselves with guns and plenty of ammunition, in order to protect themselves and their homes when attacked by the rufillans who are bent on killing them and beating them for no other cause than that God has seen fit to make their skin dark. Be law abiding, as we have always tried to be, but you may as well make it up in your minds, now, that only a terrific hail of bullets into these mob gatherings is going to save you from the almost daily attacks by these murderers. Even the states, since they cannot, or will not, protect the lives and property of the colored people, should assist them in such a determination to rightfully defend themselves against these lawless mobs. Yes, get your guns! not to go out and raise any trouble with any white neighbors. No, be as you have always endeavored to be, kind and friendly to your good white neighbors, but, by the eternal, say to the mobs, "you've got to stop! We've had enough of this thing, and you must either kill less of us, or we will give you a chance to satisfy your blood thirsty desire to kill more of us." Mobs are made up of out throats, thieves and murderers, and the law abiding white people should be glad to get rid of such a class among them. See? Let us continue to gather at the house of prayer, and pour out our complaints to Almighty God, but don't forget that prayers will never do the work of bullets. Let us always be law abiding. Let us put our trust in God. But you'd better sleep with your loaded guns under your heads, for you know not what hour the mobs will attack you. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. WHAT-ER-YER A GONER-DO A-BOUT IT?

McGoway SIN A POLY PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS [By the Sage of the Potomac.] Speaking about the Training Camp for Colored Officers, reminds me of the fox caught in a trap and was threatened to be thrown out in the snow. Sly fox said that he lived in the snow. Many of the volunteers for the training camp, no doubt would have passed the physical examination as it ordered by their admission to the training camp. Contest drilling for this month, we are to learn in that time, what it requires cadets at West Point to learn in four years, would certainly disqualify them. If they can't make a good officer, they can't make a good soldier. Those who have been discharged from the camp will not have to enlist and neither will they be drafted into the service. They have escaped the draft. Many of them are returning home. The latest news is of the tax that is being placed upon the poor employees of a certain insurance company, against their will, to purchase the manager of this company an automobile. These poorly paid clerks, or rather, many of them, will resign before they will pay this tax. Why should employees of any corporation be taxed against their will? All of them should resign in a body. Hundreds of young colored girls have been given positions in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and as fast as they are appointed they are relieved of the many-burdens that are imposed upon them by men who don't know the value of female labor. One of the greatest men in this city, and a level headed one at that, is Rev. M. W. N. Norman. As president of the Baptist Association, he ought to weed out of the association ministers who are of no benefit to the association. A certain Baptist minister who is more deceptive than he is honest, and who always shows his cloven foot, when he wants to accomplish something for himself, introduced a pneumatic faker to another Baptist association in Virginia, some days ago, and recommended his paper to those who didn't know of it. The people were well acquainted with the editor as well as the preacher and politely informed them both, that they preferred "The Bee," the argus "of the people, for the people, and by the people." "The Bee" recommends itself. It doesn't need a guardian or an introducer. "The Bee" doesn't cater to hypocrites and fakers. Honest people speak well of "The Bee." The guilty of crime doesn't want "The Bee." It is amusing to see an editor's face in his own paper. Some few weeks ago an editor's face appeared two or three weeks in succession in his own paper and under it was written, an enemy to evil doers. I wondered at the time if this individual knew his own record as well as some people knew it. (?) On another publication, some time ago, another editor's face appeared in his own paper with this description: "Editor John—John; the advocate of equal rights, and one of the greatest writers in the world." Some colored editors are like some colored ministers. All ministers of all denominations are "dubbed" as D. D. Every man whose name is at the head of his paper imagines that he is an editor. You will find more D. Ds among the Baptists than any other denomination. Dr. Norman should weed out some of the D. Ds in his association. If you would ask some of them what "D. D" meant, they would give you an answer similar to that a child gave a teacher, when asked what D. D. meant; O! said the child it means dood dood. With the return of the bachelors from the officers' training camp, our good friend Byers will be relieved of his arduous duties. The bachelors will take charge, which will be a great relief to Mr. Byers. Speaking about him, he is more sinned against than sinning. There must be something about him that commands attention, if there were not, he would not be so much in the limelight. A man in his position must be pleasant to his patrons. Some people mistake cordial poiteness and good jolly disposition for something else. It is not so. A large man is naturally jolly. A lean man, or a man with a hungry look, is looked upon with suspicion. Of course there are exceptions to the rule. The bachelors are returning fast, and they will receive from Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's, and since, there is no crime in marriage, or being classed as cowards, Mr. Byers will call the roll of his army of benedicts, soon to be, if they will respond. I never saw so many anxious to weed in all my life, well no, they are not so anxious now, as the provost marshall has declared that marriage will be no bar to prevent draft, hence the bachelors will now take a chance by remaining single.

Miss Burroughs carried 10,000 petitions from thirty-six states and the District of Columbia. She made a plea for Federal investigations and the passage and enforcement of laws that would make America a safe place in which the Colored American may live and labor. Mr. Dyer informed Miss Burroughs that the Committee was profoundly impressed and that members are recommending that the resolution be considered immediately. RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH DENIED. The Richmond, Va. Planet Barred From the United States Mail—Must Not Condemn East St. Louis Riots in Conjunction with United States Officials. Richmond, Va., Aug. 4, 1917—The Post Office authorities here held up to-days. Issue of the Richmond, Va. Planet, pending further instructions on account of the publication therein of an article from Uzzell Miner, former editor of the Howard University Journal, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Miner spoke for himself and gave reasons for not entering the United States Army as a volunteer. He called upon President Wilson to speak out against the East St. Louis; III riots as ex-President Roosevelt had done and wanted the Department of Justice to bring the guilty parties to a "strict accountability." Editor John Mitchell, Jr., upon enquiry was informed by Postmaster Hay T. Thornton that the action was not taken on account of any editorial utterances, but solely on account of the matter contained in this contributed communication. An attempt to secure the return of eighteen sacks of mail to-day was without result and the information was given that a final decision in this matter would be taken on Monday. Editor Mitchell is endeavoring to find out if the constitution guarantees of citizenship have been suspended and by what rule the management of the paper must be guided in the absence of an established censorship by the Congress at Washington. VISITORS TO THE BEE OFFICE. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., the editor, banker and politician of Richmond, Va., accompanied by two of the leading and most prominent citizens of Richmond, Va., Dr. E. R. Jefferson and T. M. Crump, Esq., were the guests of the editor of The Bee Tuesday afternoon. Editor Mitchell displayed council in the case of the hold-up of his publication, the Richmond Planet, because a certain article appeared in his paper written by a correspondent. Editor Mitchell and his friends left on the 7.15 Southern, Tuesday evening. The Richmond contingent had blood in their eyes. SPEAKS FOR RACE Joseph Man Lg. (white), former member of legislature of Alabama now living in New York city, has written a pamphlet, "The Autocratio South." He was born in the south, with a silver spoon in his month, a typical southern gentleman. He remained there as long as his conscience would let him. Mr. Manning became tired of the south's philosophy, "Down with the black man" and up with crime, burning, lynching, injustice, concubinage, Jim-Crowism, ignorance and barbarity. He delivered a speech before the Allen Christian Endeavor league, at Bothel A. M. e church, New York city, Sunday, July 15. It was one of the ablest addresses heard in the east for many a day. He defended the Race in no uncertain terms, and made a plea for fairness and justice in the courts, trades and business. Every true American should read this address. It is one of the best and most complete addresses on the Race problem ever uttered by an American citizen. He has gained prominence for fighting Bourbonism. Long ago he made a reputation for pitching into ballot box stuffers. Now he comes forth with renewed force fighting for members of the Race. A copy should be in the home of every loyal Race man. Send and secure a copy only 25 cents. The Defender urges the readers of good literature and those who love their Race to send for a copy. A PARADE OF PROTEST. Concerning the Parade of the Negroes in New York City, July 29.—As a Protest Against the Unspeakable Horrors Attending the Massacre of Innocent, Unoffending Members of Their Race by a Mob of White Savages, in East St. Louis, "The Public in New York, Says; "New York has seen many remarkable parades, parades of soldiers and civilians, aliens and citizens, parades of sadness as when a great man was gone, and of gladness for a victory won, but has it seen a parade of deeper meaning than that of last Saturday when 8,000 Negro men, women and children marched down Fifth Avenue in silent protest against the treatment accorded their race in this country. It was not alone on Fifth Avenue that they marched, to be seen by the crowds that happened at the time to be on that thoroughfare. Thanks to the press and the news service they marched throughout the country in the imagination of millions of people who will reflect with bitter humiliation that of all American's shortcomings in trying to live up to her ideals none is more glaring than the treatment accorded the Negro. It was the counsel of wise heads that promised this parade of silent protest. Such a demonstration is far more effective than any manifestation of force. It was an appeal to the conscience of mankind, and will not be without its effect. America will not be safe for democracy till a public opinion has been created that will insist upon even-handed justice for all. GUESTS AT HOTEL DALE. New Yorkers John A. Allen, Robt.

S. of America has learned how to secure the recently occurring at East St. Louis; III, which resulted in the murder and outrage of Negro citizens and the wilful destruction of their property and. Whereas, the cruel and savage incidents which have shocked the civilized world, do but emphasize the formidable strength of racial prejudices in the ebb and flow of our national life and. Whereas, the stern realities of war and the civic and industrial unrest, make it more than ever, even has and order and contained and the just abhorrence of citizens, regardless of race or creed be secure and inviolate. Therefore it is Resolved; That this Garrison of honorably discharged Negro soldiers and sailors most sorrowfully deplores the horrible incidents herewith referred to. It feels that while Negro men are being drafted to fight a foreign foe, the national authority should at least use every means in its power to secure and maintain at home his constitutional liberties in common with other citizens and when the same are violated as at East St. Louis and more recently at Chester, Pa., to direct judicial proceedings whose real purpose and result shall be the prosecution and punishment of the guilty whomsoever they may be. It is Further Resolved: That the President and the Congress be petitioned to the end that the organized strength of the Nation in all and every direction be mobilized to destroy the mob-spirit of America so that while our men both black and white Americans are fighting to "make the world safe for democracy," that this, the oldest Democracy in the world may also be made "safe" for its Negro citizens. COMMITTEE: WM. T. CONRAY, COMMANDER. J. CLAY SMITH, ADJUTANT. JOHN H. PAYNTER. PEROXIDE COMPLEXIONS. Peroxide complexions are ghostly, cadaverous, hideous. The enslavement of the Africans in America has produced a multiplicity of varieties of physiognomies and complexions among the colored people here. The physiognomies vary widely. There is no question that there are many types of handsome men and women among our colored people. There are several distinct ethnological groups belonging to the so-called Hamitic and Neo-Asiatic. The former occupy northern, and eastern Africa, the latter southern and western, but there has been much intermingling of races in Africa. The most of the glaves for America were taken from the west coast, the home of the true Negro types—the general region called Senegambia and Algeria. But the active slave trade in Africa was the main threat to themselves and the Arabs. brought to the west coast slave marts, people of every type residing in Africa. These included many Egyptians, Arabs and Madagascans. We see all these types in America today, some almost pure, others modified. The most virgin marts are of color, facial formation and texture hair. In this country, contact with the Indians and Caucasians have further modified these characteristics. The fashion in America is the fair complexion and nearly straight hair. The fashion is so strong and universal that it has come to be a practical matter. The main reasons are personal convenience, advantage and interest. There is no intrinsic reason, because these personal characteristics have no real utilitarian value, for the black skin and the curly hair have no real disadvantages. The artist recognizes the black color as a fundamental beauty. Many people with dead straight hair attempt to curl it artificially. But, notwithstanding, many colored people are not satisfied with their complexion and hair. They try to alter them, and they make a bad job of it. Usually the results are disgusting, horrible. Let us not try to alter nature. It cannot be done successfully. It is often possible to modify the phenomena of nature and to improve on them, but the fundamentals cannot be changed. There are certain harmonies in nature and art that cannot be solely accepted at the expense of monstrosity or naivety, which are just causes for ridicule. There is something wrong about the fashions and styles affected by our men and women. Dress and style should have some relation to the form and color of the object or person decorated. We know that this is a ticklish subject, and discretion warns us not to speak out too plainly. We therefore, will conclude with the recomposition of the local society recently organized to satisfy our give some study to the subject of dress and other personal adornment of the colored people. Is it not possible to evolve some distinctive styles of dress and adornment harmonious with our most prevailing physical characteristics, that would be as beautiful as they would be distinctive? Why can not the colored dress evoke a new and distinctive art? What is the usual and appropriate than that it should center around dress and personal adornment? COLORED OFFICERS IN CAMP. Many of Them Returning Home From the Training Camp Col. C. G. Ballou Makes a Statement in Defence of His Men. Fort Des Moines, la., July 31. When it was recently called to the attention of Colonel C. G. Ballou, Commandant of the Officers Training School for Colored men at fort Des Moines, that there was a tendency on the part of acquaintances to criticise candidates who are being discharged and returned home said: "Many persons seem to feel that failure to cooperate the perscribed course at an Officer's Training Camp carries with it a certain stigma approximating to disgrace. This is; in general, not true, and is only true in cases of men sent home by reason of misconduct. There is more dangerous and erroneous belief than that indulged in by many of our people, to the effect that any and every man can become a good military officer. This idea is almost equivalent to the notion that putting a uniform on a man and a rifle in his hands makes him a soldier. Both ideas are as incorrect and fundamentally absurd as would be the belief that putting a scapel in a man's hands converts him into a surgeon, or that putting on the cap of a naval officer qualifies a man to navigate and fight a battleship. Not the least useful result of our great training camps will be the correction of these absurd notions. I once mustered into service as an officer of high rank, a man who frankly said: "I don't know anything about military." I don't know how to get my regiment going, and so do not it going. I wouldn't know how to stop it again." Yet twelve hundred lives, and untold National interests, were made dependent upon this utterly unqualified man for purely political reasons. The mass of people have had very little idea of the danger and disaster that lie behind such appointments, but there are, nevertheless, many wives, mothers and sisters who are beginning to realize that they don't want husbands, sons, fathers and brothers ordered in battle by men who don't know how to give them the least show for their lives. And those training camps are going to vastly increase the appreciation of the whole burden under their needs to know his business just as does the surgeon, the lawyer, the sailor, the electrician and every other man of profession or trade. Furthermore, they will spread a conception of the fact that Army Officers, on whose competence or incompetence depends the lives of men and the fate of nations, require for the proper discharge of their grave duties, training and abilities of higher, order and more varied character than do men of any other profession in life. It is, therefore, only reasonable to expect that large numbers of those who enter Officers' Training Camps will find after a few weeks trial that they were not destined by nature for the duties and responsibilities of military command. This fact should involve no reproach. It is no more disgraceful to be a mistaken at an Officers' Training Camp than to be a similar misfit in training for the church choir. Real military leaders must be trained, and the unfit must be eliminated as ruthlessly as are the discordant aspirants for a place in the ochrehstra, and this elimination is not, evidence: that the rejected ones are not good men, brave men or patriotic men." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. REMEDY FOR MOBS. To the Editor of the Bee. Investigators, writers and speakers having given the results of their investigations and vent to their feeling on the recent East St. Louis, Ill., massacre, is suprising, that they have not proposed a remedy, the appeal to the recurrence of such a horrible, heartrending and painstaking affair. Article 5, of the Amendments to the Constitution declares that, "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law," and Article 14, Section 1, of the Amendments to the Constitution affirms that, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the laws of the United States, are citizens of the United States," and that, "No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." It is held, that the former is a prohibition against the United States, and that the latter is a prohibition against a State. It is my contention, that the former should be given a broad and liberal in lieu of a narrow and strict interpretation, construction and application in favor of a citizen of the United States, irrespective of his citizenship of a State, for the reason, that the individual is primarily a citizen of the United States, and secondarily a citizen of the State wherein he resides. This being undeniable, the United States owes a citizen of the United States, primarily, protection in the enjoyment of constitutional privileges and immunities, and a citizen of the United States; primarily, owes his allegiance to the United States, regardless of his citizenship of the State. Thus, if it is unlawful for the United States or a State to deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, for a much stronger reason, it should be unlawful for a mob in the United States to deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, therefore, the Congress of the United States should enact a law compelling and requiring the County of the State or the States, in which a citizen of the United States is deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, to pay liquidated damages within a reasonably prescribed time thereafter, to the heirs-at-law or next-of-kin of the victim or victims. In other words, the unlawful taking of the life, liberty, or property, of a citizen of the United States by a domestic mob should be redressible in damages, just as the lawful taking of the life, liberty, or property, of a citizen of the United States by a domoreign mob is redressible by the payment of an indemnity. The Evening Star, of Saturday, July 7, 1917, editorially in part, edited: "It begs the question in part, toribute the infamy at East St. Louis either to economics or to the debasing influences of the whiskey doggery. Both share in responsibility for that tragedy. But the trouble goes deeper than either or both. It is the outgrowth of lawlessness which in the past quarter century has spread all over the country, and is not now confined to what are called the lower classes. Now is the time to call a law, a call is possible. War is on, and war calls for peace behind the battle lines. If order cannot be commanded in our city and criminal affairs; if the law is locked and saw breakers go unpunished we shall find ourselves as a people headed for hades, and not far from that destination." EX-KING IN RED CROSS. Manuel Heads Orthopedic Section of British Organization. Liverpool.—Manuel, former king of Portugal, has just been appointed by the British Red Cross society as head of its section of orthopedies, relating to the treatment of deformities in wounded soldiers. The former king has for several years been interested in work of this character. He is now engaged in a tour of inspection with Colonel Robert Jones, inspector general of orthopedies in the British army, of all the institutions in Great Britain where wounded soldiers are receiving treatment of this character. One of the largest of these institutions is in Liverpool, and Manuel spent three days there, devoting one day to the surgical wards and operating rooms and acting as an assistant at an operation in a hospital.

Kimerer, a barber of this city, has a scheme to save 250,000 eggs a year for the consumption of the people. He has put his plan before National Food Director Hoover and received from him assurance of its consideration. Kimerer would do away with the egg shampoo during the war. He says that on an average, which is considered low, each barber in the United States gives three egg shampoo a week, using two eggs. Recent statistics show that there are 300,000 barbers. Thus if the government placed a ban on egg shampoos for men it would mean the saving of 93,600,000 eggs each year, provided each barber averaged but three shampoos. But other barbers in the city say the average of three is too low and that it would be nearer six or eight. Figured at that rate, more than 200,000,000 eggs could be saved. It is a hard matter to get at the number of eggs used by women for shampooing, inasmuch as many do their own work. However, a hairdresser estimates that 50,000,000 eggs are used each year. UNUSUAL RELICS FOUND. New Light Cast on Pueblo Civilization by Discovery. Santa Fe, N. M.-An extraordinary find of historic pottery and relics has been made by Earl Morris, excavating Pueblo ruins at Aztec, San Juan county, with a force of twenty-five men for the American Museum of Natural History. The discovery includes sixty pieces of rare pottery, over 20,000 carved red and black stone heads, baskets, matting, knives, battlesaxes and other stone implements. The turquoise beads, mosaics and shell ornaments are classed as among the finest ever excavated in the southwest. Grains of corn with cobs, tassels and husks were found intact; as were also beans and bean pods, pumpkin seeds, pine cones, cotton fiber, yucca leaves, rushes, cotton yarn and cloth, sandals, snowshoes, beaver teeth and bones of animals and human beings. One skeleton in a sitting position indicated the man had been decapitated. The find was made in an underground communal dwelling buried for centuries. BEES MAKE HOME IN HOUSE. Store Honey - Unmolested For Three Years In Doctor's Residence. St. Louis - A swarm of bees has lived and made honey for three years in the brick wall at the home of Dr. Allen Wilson, Wagoner place. Dr. Wilson has never interfered with the bees, and they have never harmed him, nor has he ever eaten any of the honey. The bees' improvised hive is a cavity in the wall about halfway to the top of the two story house on the kitchen side. The entrance is a small hole apparently left by the bricklayer when placing the bricks around the anchor of an iron wall brace. Dr. Wilson said he had investigated and found that the cavity now extends into the wall about a foot, apparently having been hollowed out by the bees themselves. The swarm is not a very large one, and Dr. Wilson thinks it has not produced more honey than it needed. He does not expect to try to remove the bees. TRANSPLANTING BONE. That of Stockman's Leg Now In His Arm. Ringling, Okla.—Ten inches, of bone that supported his leg between the knee and ankle now is filling, that amount of space in the forearm of Jim Herring, stockman, of Grady, having been transplanted there by a surgeon as the only remedy that would save the arm. The leg, now bearing a silver plate, has healed, and the arm promises to be as good-as new before long. Ten months ago Herring sprained his arm. Not having ready access to a surgeon and, thinking the injury slight, he set the member himself. At length a bone trouble developed and continued to grow more and more malignant for eight months. Taking out the impaired bone was the surgical cure decided upon, and the space was filled with bone from his leg. COMES FROM A BIG FAMILY. Recruit is Six Feet Four and a Half. Brother, Taller, Also to Enlist. Springfield, Mr.-John F. Haley, a twenty-three-year-old farmer near Ozark, Christian county, holds the record for the tallest man accepted at the United States army recruiting station here since the declaration of war. He is six feet four and one-half inches in his bare feet. He had to stoop, when he entered the door of the recruiting station to enlist. "You fellows may think I'm big," he told the recruiting force, "but just wait till you see my brother. He's two inches taller than I. He'll be here in two or three days to enlist too. He hasn't quite finished helping dad with the planting." Wife Beater Ducked. Kansas City, Mo.—A new form of punishment has been devised by Judge Herrod of the city court for wife beaters. After sentencing George Martin to a hundred days on the rock pile Judge Herrod ordered the patrolmen who escorted him to the "farm" to stop on their way past the Missouri river and duck their prisoner three times. Martin beat his wife because she could not make the baby stop crying. WOMAN AT FRONT Mrs. Vincent Astor's Life Was Twice Endangered. German Artillery Fired on Party at an Observation Post—Visited Country Devastated by Germans In Their Retreat—Extent of Ruin She Saw Beyond All Conception. Paris—Mrs. Vincent Astor recently returned from a two day trip to the devastated region evacuated by the Germans in the retreat to the Hindenburg line and an inspection of the French front in the vicinity of Coucy La Fere and St. Quentin. Twice Mrs. Astor was endangered when an aerial battle was fought overhead, and the danger of falling shell cases after the anti-aircraft shrapnel had exploded round about the fighting ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. MRS. VINCENT ASTOR. aircraft caused all the members of the party to seek shelter in an old underground dugout constructed by the Germans before the retreat and again when the party's presence upon an observation point commanding a view of the German line provoked activity among the Krupp batteries and several German shells whistled uncomfortably near. "I was scared both times," asserted Mrs. Actor, "and it was near enough to the actual fighting line for me."⁵ Mrs. Actor sold the wildest imagination could not visualize the destruction wrought by the Germans in their wanton attempts to lay waste France. "I cannot understand how the Germans spared the soldiers and explosives so completely" said Mrs. Actor. "I hope they won't be able to continue devastating the country as they are forced back out of France." Mrs. Astor visited Prince Eitel Friedrich's observation post near Noyon, where before the retreat the Germans viewed the activities along the old French line. This cleverly concealed position, offering a view of a wide expanse of the front and bearing innumerable evidences of its recent occupancy by the German prince and his staff, interested her greatly. She obtained there several souvenirs like shoulder straps of the German officers of distinguished regiments and buttons from the tunices of crack German units which she found among litter left behind when the invaders retreated. GOT 26 DUCKS IN 12 SHOTS. Yukon Hunter's Big Bag From Birds in Flight. Dawson, Y. T.-Ed Doran of South Dawson made, according to number of shots fired, a record killing of ducks on the Kliondike lakes near Jackson gulch. He left home with only seventeen shells, thinking from his past experience that number would be ample. At 1:30 a.m., m the ducks began to arrive, and in the dusk Doran fired five shots at indistinct forms without bringing any down. Then with seven shells he landed as many birds singly. By this time the ducks were coming in showers, and, it being impossible to select single birds, he began ground glutting them and with his last five shots laid out nineteen cold and wounded seven or eight more that got away in the brush and darkness. Doran says it was the greatest flight he ever saw, and if he had had enough shells he would have beaten Jack Lee's record of fifty-two ducks in less than one hour, which Jack repeated three times about ten years ago up the Klondike. SEEKKS LABOR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF HIS DOG Los Angeles, Cal.-Hero, worth $20,000 and for a long time the pet of the children who frequent the moving picture houses in the west, was killed while in pur- suance of his duties the other day. So Harry Marks, who own- ed the cane, has applied to the Los Angeles labor board for pay- ment under the terms of the compensation law. Marks, with tears in his eyes, said that Hero was the sole support of himself and his invalid wife, and he wanted damages commensurate with their loss. National Guardsman, Broke, Couldn't Arrange For His Final Discharge. San Antonio, Tex.—Grover C. Weems, twenty-one years of age, a member of Company M, Second Florida regiment of the national guard, reached San Antonio the other day on foot, having walked all the way from Miami, Fla., to secure his final discharge from the militia and join the regular army. He walked, he said, because he wanted to transfer to the regular army, was broke and couldn't arrange for his final discharge from the company without coming here. He was arrested four times on the road—at Monroe, La.; at Jewett, Tex.; near Gulfport, Miss., and at Passigoula, La. While he wore his national guard uniform, he was arrested twice on suspicion that he had deserted. He was arrested twice for failure to register. He was released each time after showing that he was a member of Company M, Second Florida infantry, mustered out March 17 and held in reserve. He had the misfortune to be arrested once at Jewett, Tex., while stopping there to visit a young lady to whose father he was persona non grata. The people along the way, he said, treated him right. He was well fed and frequently given a lift by autoists. SOLDIER RISKS LIFE, WINS NURSE AS BRIDE Private, Injured In Burning Building, Weds Girl Who Took Care of Him. New York.—His heroism in rushing into a burning building and extinguishing the blaze may result in causing Leo Heck, member of Company H, Seventy-first regiment, national guard, to undergo an operation at Bellevue hospital, but it also brought him a bride. The girl in the case is Miss Helen Maud Lymer, a nurse, or Toronto. They were married at Hamilton, Ontario. Heck was in a military camp up state when he saw a fire in a big dwelling house. While he was fighting the blaze in the third story the floor gave way and he fell to the floor below. He was taken to a hospital near by, where Miss Lymer, who was employed there, was assigned to nurse him. Before he left the hospital the patient and his nurse had fallen in love. Heck recently came to Bellevue hospital on furthough to consult doctors and was told that an operation probably would be necessary. While awaiting an X ray examination he learned that his fancee had gone to Hamilton to serve as nurse in a hospital for wounded British soldiers. Heck left for Hamilton on the first train, and the pair were married by the Rev. W. B. Figle of the Hamilton Baptist church. Heck has returned here for the X ray examination. COWBELLS SAVE CHERRIES. Farmer Rigged a Water Wheel on Wife's Churn to Ring Them. Redding, Cal.-W. A. Bull of Igo has saved his big cherry crop with cowbells operated by a waterwheel. Bull has an orchard up South Fork creek. His cherries ripened, but as fast as they matured birds picked them off. Bull rigged up some ordinary scarecrows. They did well enough for a day or so, or until the wise birds detected the fraud. As a last resort Bull tied several cowbells in the treetops and to the tinklers attached strings, which he jerked from his front porch. The cowbells' jangling scared the birds away all right and bld fair to save the cherry crop, but Bull got tired of jerking the strings all day long. Now, he has a water wheel that runs his wife's churn. So Bull attached the strings to the churn dasher. As the water wheel went its rounds the churn dasher bobbed up and down, and the cowbells kept up their jangling in the treetops all day long. The birds were scared away effectually, and Bull saved his cherry crop. COAL MINE IN BACK YARD. This Man Doesn't Have to Worry About Next Winter's Prices. Roanoke, Va.-With the promise of winter coal being around $10 a ton, how would you like to have a coal mine right in your back yard? That's what P. H. Rover of Bluefield has just discovered. Mr. Rover's back yard runs north in the same way that north appeared to the little boy at school-toward the top of the page-or it is just a mountainside. A coal seam had been discovered on the opposite side of the ridge, and Mr. Rover thought it would be worth investigating on his side. But little digging was needed to reveal the seam, which was four feet in thickness. Old Man Climbs Windmill. Hiawatha, Kan.—Though Henry Adams of this city is eighty-two years old; he doesn't have to call in help when a little something goes, wrong with his windmill. Recently he climbed to the top of a forty foot windmill and made some needed repairs. ‘ea SI MONGSIMPLE’S FIRS ibe SONS IN. .OWNISN ei) Cy — ame KS Qos?

LUMBER INDUSTRY ASLEEP. Forester Says Substitute Materials Are, © Injuring the Business. Kansas City. Mo.—W.-B.

Proposed to Increase Force by 1,500 Men. HUNDREDS. ALREADY ADDED. Secretary Daniels' Recommendation For $7,500,000 Contemplates Building and Machinery, and Large Number of Experts is Expected to Be Called For. If Money is Granted. Washington.—This city's greatly augmented number of government employees since the beginning of war preparations is to be still further added to should congress grant an appropriation for $7,500,000 asked for by Secretary Daniels to increase the capacity of the naval gun factory at the Washington navy yard. While the immediate need of this appropriation is for buildings and machinery, the nec for building essary men to operate the machines will be required in due time, and it is estimated that from 1,000 to 1,500 expert machinists will be added to the present force. present force. To date more than 500 men have been added to the force at the Washington navy yard since the United States declared a state of war to exist between this country and Germany, and Secretary Daniels' request for a larger gun factory means that a much larger force of men will be needed here. of men who Guns, mounts, torpedoes, mines, telescopes, sights, optical instruments and miscellaneous ordnance supplies are to be made at this gun factory in large numbers. The proposed work includes the construction of a six story machine shop for mines, mounts and torpedoes, a five story pattern and wood working shop, an extension to the power plant, a new brass foundry, an extension of the steel forging plant, an optical shop, range finding towers, administration buildings, quarters for enlisted personnel under instruction and the extension of the yard service system to supply adequately these new structures. Buildings are estimated to cost $5,000,000 and equipment needed will amount to $2,500,000. Daniels Discusses Plan. Discussing his recommendation for the appropriation, Secretary Daniels said: "The naval gun factory, possessing as it does a complete organization and a large working force, is readily adapted to increasing its facilities for delivery of guns, mounts and other munitions. To develop any other source is not only expensive, but involves a matter of long delay. It is therefore considered to the best interests of the government to increase at once the capacity of the Washington navy yard." LOCKED DOG IN TOWER. He Stopped the Clock, and There Was No Time. Rome, Ga.-The big city clock in the 600 foot tower on College hill here was stopped by a dog. When City Timekeeper Williamson went to wind the clock two days before, as he does every week, a dog followed him on the winding stairway, and when the timekeeper left he did not notice that he had locked the dog in the clock when he closed the door that leads to it. the door. For two days, without water or food, the dog whined and barked 600 feet above the city, but of course was not heard. Then people of the city looking at the clock saw that it had stopped, and some one notified the timekeeper, who went to see what was the matter. He saw the dog lying against the big pendulum, snarling savagely. A policeman brought the animal safely to earth. It was almost starved by its two days' fast, but has recovered. DRAFT NUMBERS TO BE SOLD. Red Cross Will Get Proceeds From Sale of Souvenirs. Washington—The original numbers used in drawing the new national army have been turned over to the Red Cross. by Provost Marshal General Crowder for sale as souvenirs, the proceeds to be turned into the Red Cross fund. The first eight numbers and the last one, however, will be put back in the bowl and placed in Independence hall, Philadelphia, beside the Liberty bell. The bowl has been donated for this purpose by its owner, Charles R. Morris, a veteran war department clerk. FAMILY IN SCHOOLHOUSE. Could Not Rent Any Other Place and So Moved In. Smith Center, Kan.—In nearly every town in northwest Kansas an overcrowded condition prevails, and many families are unable to find homes to rent. So acute became the lack of houses to rent in this city that a newly arrived family, after importing the school board, was allowed to begin housekeeping in one of the six rooms of the schoolhouse. Now other families seek the same privilege, and the school board may have to yield. Relics of Old Indian Camp. Pierre, S. D.—Between four and eight feet under the surface of the ground C. D. Deland has found pumpkin seeds in good condition, also a piece of pumpkin rind and evidence of an Indian camp at least 100 years old. The soil was windblown and it required many decades to cover the relics. The Indians of the period indicated were agriculturists, not warriors, like the later Stone. EVERYBODY SHOULD DO HIS PART IN THE WAR Should Set For Himself the Highest Standard of Efficiency. Washington. - When you ask the average man, how he thinks the war is being handled he will answer: is doing it. "Oh, we're doing a lot. We're get- ting a lot right." ting along all right. It's an easy answer. But is it the truth? What is "getting along all right?" says Porter Emerson Browne of the Vigilantes. of the Vignantes. In war there is no such thing as getting along all right. There is only one thing that is all right—that is, perfection. Perfection is not human. Humanity has always and will always make mistakes. In war mistakes cost blood and suffering and human lives. Consequently to say we're getting along all right is to condone error and to condone suffering. done suiciding A senator quibbling over some political advantage may cause delays that will mean the death of his own son. will mean a representative too narrow minded to grasp the public weal may squabble over some silly prerogative that will mean the widowing of his own daughter A cabinet member or department head wavering in the winds of indecision may postpone and put off and procrastinate until the price will be the orphaning of his own grandchildren. It is for every man and every woman in the United States of America to set himself the highest standard of efficiency possible and then do his and her utmost to live up to that standard umost to live up to. When mistakes must be paid for in the blood of those we love, the best that is in us is none too good. WRECK OF EXPRESS IS AVERTED BY HER HAT WRECK OF EXPRESS IS AVERTED BY HER HAT Greenwich, Conn. — The next time your wife breaks the news to you that she has bought a new hat it might be wise not to call the hat any names until it has had time to prove what sort of hat it is. There is a remote possibility it might be a heroin hat like the one that Mrs. M. Fillmore Bowen, Christian Science reader of this town, bought. She did not buy it for a heroin hat, but the hat revealed its abilities when she wore it for the first time by preventing the wreck of an express train on the New Haven railroad near Port Chester. Mrs. Bowen boarded a train for New York. At Port Chester she walked through the train looking for a friend. The hat blew off when she was crossing a platform. She notified the conductor. He telegraphed back, and before the Grand Central terminal was reached informed Mrs. Bowen that the hat was waiting for her in the freight station in Port Chester. station in Port Chester. When on her return Mrs. Bowen got the hat she was told that a bootblack at the station had found the hat on the ties beside a split rail. He had run back, she was informed, and reported the split rail. An approaching express train was switched to another track. The split rail was replaced. TO AID WAR DOCTORS. Physicians Taking Their Practice to Give One-third of Fees. Indianapolis—The Indianapolis Medical society has passed resolutions recommending that one-third of all fees collected for professional work by physicians who remain in Marion county during the war from families who were formerly served by physicians in active service of the government be turned over to the absent physician on his return or to his family during his absence. An effort will be made to make the new movement national in time. its scope. The society has 336 members, and at least fifty of them are expected to be called soon. A number of others expect to go later. DIVORCES QUOTED HIGHER. War Makes Lawyers Agree to Increase Their Fees. Canton, O.-Divorce decrees in Stark county are now quoted higher. Feeling the pinch of war prices, the County Bar association has boosted the price of nearly every kind of legal work. Formerly a matrimonially disappointed husband or wife could get a divorce for $25. Now the same kind of a decree will cost $35 if there is no contest. If a fight is made the seeker for marital liberty will have to pay $50. EVEN LIONS FEEL THE HIGH COST OF LIVING San Francisco-Mountain lions evidently have found the high cost of living a hard proposition in the places about Mentone, Cal. Two of them came down from their haunts the other day and killed a couple of burros near the Edison power plant at Mill Spring. One of the jacks was torn to pieces, but the other put up a stiff fight before he became a table d'hote for the itinerant and hungry mountain lions. Enemy of Progress Mortally Wounded, Says Painleve. FRENCH HAIL UNITED STATES. Declare That Entry of America Is Companion Piece to Marne Victory In Assuring Defeat of Germans—Finances of France In Splendid Shape, Says Joseph Thierry. Paris.—Militarism, the great enemy of progress, actually has been mortally wounded by war itself. This summarizes the progress of the last three years, according to Paul Painleve, the minister of war, in reviewing the war. Minister Painleve's summary follows: "Three years of war: imagination at first conjure up mourning and demonstration. However, we dare to say that humanity has progressed during these three years. The great enemy of all progress, militarism, actually has been wounded mortally by war itself. The ideal of the nations of peace expresses itself very precisely against the brutality of nations of conquest A. Photo by American Press Association. PAUL PAINLEVE. and gains little throughout the entire world. Despite the vicissitudes this ideal will triumph. ideal will tradition. "While the curve of German forces has sunk, the curve of the strength of the allies has risen year by year, and the entrance of the United States into the war has given it a sudden and formidable impetus. Germany's fate is determined. determined. "Henceforth France particularly can show with elation its balance of the last three years. Bleeding, still invaded, she is not only greater and more glorious, but she is stronger militarily and politically than on Aug. 2, 1014. If Germany, stripped of its hegemony, ruined in its commerce and reduced to an alliance with several groups of adventurers, today compares itself to France it will show what three years of may have cost it." Joseph Thierry, minister of finance, said; "On the third year of its entry into the war France has the right to assert that it has maintained and is maintaining its financial situation in a shape that no one would in advance have considered possible had one been able to foresee the duration and development of the conflict. or the conflict. "In addition to maintaining a military effort without precedent in history and without analogy in present times, in addition to the mobilization of its active population in larger proportion than any, other people, in addition to having submitted and submitting still to the invasion of parts of its territory, it has raised its fiscal receipts to a point which at present constantly exceeds its peace time product." FINDS BOYHOOD WEALTH. Oregon Farmer Digs Up Coin Buried Sixty-five Years. Salem, Ore. — Sixty-five years ago when John Carpenter, now a farmer east of this city, was five years old, he had hoarded together $1.85. His parents, needing some ready money, borrowed a dollar from the boy. Fearing they might want more, he buried the other 85 cents—a half dollar, a quarter and a dime—in a field on the farm. But he forgot wher he buried the money, and all his boy...h searches proved futile. The other day while plowing Mr. Carpenter turned over the half dollar, and a little search revealed the other two coins. He is in Salem displaying the long buried treasure. One of the pieces was coined in 1774 and another in 1830. The third is so badly worn the date is obliterated. Makes Bomb of Pencil, Loses Hand. Lorain, O.-Aspirations to be a real munition worker just like some of his grown up companions, cost fourteen-year-old John Katonak his right hand and lacerated his knee. Johnny took the lead from a pencil, filled the low tube with powder and plugged in with a dynamite can in each end. He attached electric wires to set off the charge, and when the wires became crossed the explosion followed.

Cheerfully Take Places of England's Male Workers. IT'S NOW UP TO AMERICA. In This Crisis Confronting the United States. Every Women's Organization Should Co-operate For National Service and Every Woman Remember That It's Teamwork That Wins. New York.-Hats off to the women who cheerfully bear the stress and burden of the day while the men, whose places they take in workshop and field, are fighting somewhere on the long battle front in Europe for home and country, says Natalie Sumner Lincoln of the Victiliantes. If you go to England today you are met on the quay at every port by women; your luggage is handled by women; you see women steyedores lifting and moving heavy cargoes; you drive in taxicabs run by women; you board a tramcar driven by women; a woman ballhop carries your valise; a woman clerk registers you in hotels; a woman runs the "lift." If you visit a "pub" a woman waits on you; if you inspect factories you see women working everywhere, and the managers tell you that women have improved the output 90 per cent. A tour into the country shows women at work in the fields—sowing and reaping the harvest which enables the British government to furnish food to its fighting forces. Such is the modern interpretation of "Amazon"—women are now the driving force behind the every-day duties which confront conditions at home when the country is at war. But Englishwomen were slow in becoming the efficient body they are today. Upon England's declaration of war with Germany women volunteered by thousands for service, but many for the same service, and it was months before women realized that to be efficient and of practical assistance to their country they had to subordinate their desires and individualities to the common weal and accept the service assigned them. There is one word which gives the cue to women's success in England and France—teamwork. American women should heed England's experience. Don't all volunteer for the same line of work, but all do the work nearest at hand. And if an American woman finds that in the government work assigned her she is 1 round peg in a square hole she must never complain, but square her shoulders and go to it. In this crisis confronting the United States every women's organization should co-operate for national service and every woman remember the word teamwork. It is teamwork that wins. MESSAGES FLOATED YEARS. One of Three Bottles Found Was Set Adrift in December, 1914. Washington. — Several instances of messages in bottles having floated about the Pacific for years before being recovered have been announced by the United States hydrographic office. A bottle set adrift by Captain S. Naguse of the Tamba Maru (Japanese) Aug. 17, 1015, 900 miles cast of Kamchatka, was recovered May 15 last near Moell. Wash. Another bottle set adrift in December, 1914, of Cape Corrientes, Mexico, was found Feb. 22 last 240 miles north of Christmas island, in the latitude of the Hawaiian Islands. A third bottle, tossed from the schooner W. H. Marsten by Captain E. Wann Feb. 14, 1915, 2,040 miles east of Chile and 600 miles south of Easter island, was picked up Jan. 21 last four miles south of Wanganul island, New Zealand. ETHAN ALLEN ENLISTS. He is Direct Descendant of Original Ethan Allen of Revolutionary Days. Butte, Mont.—Ethan Allen, a dir ct descendant of the original Ethan Allen of Fort Ticonderoga fame, was accepted for enlistment in the United States marine corps here. He has been principal of a school in this state for the last three years and has also taught in Ohio and North Dakota. Allen's enlistment recalls the early days of American history, when Fort Ticonderoga was held in turn by the French and British until finally captured by his illustrious ancestor in 1775. It is another reminder of the wiping out of old differences between nations, happily now serving together against a common enemy. AVIATION STUDENT DROWNED.

Californiane Fit Out Expedition to Recover Long Lost Treasure COVER LONG LOST TREASURE Oakland, Cal.-Gold bullion contained in strong boxes on the long lost Brother Jonathan, which was wrecked off the Mendocino coast, is the quest of an expedition headed by Martin Lund, which went to the coast from San Francisco bay in Lund's forty ton gasoline freighter the President. Until Lund and his associates, consisting of a diver and eight men, had outfitted at Sausalito and their vessel was towed to sea by a steam schooner they managed to guard their secret. It has become known, however, that they will attempt to raise the sunken treasure ship Brother Jonathan, which for many years had been regarded as a total loss. When the Jonathan was wrecked she was southbound from the northern gold country with a fortune in her strong boxes. The exact position of the vessel was undetermined, but Lund stated that he had the proper position and hoped to salvage the gold. Tackle, equipment and supplies, together with the machinery necessary to lift the gold bullion from the depths, were taken aboard the freighter. Lund hinted that the Brother Jonathan was only one out of three possible objectives. It is believed that some of the crew have been taken into Lund's confidence and are to share in the gold if it is recovered. COOP TO TABLE QUICK. Caught, Killed and Cooked Hen In Less Than Five Minutes. Philadelphia.-George Rudicille holds the record for being the champion chicken phaser and cooker of Philadelphia. To prove his superiority over other contestants he caught, killed, cleaned and cooked a fowl in four minutes and 35 seconds. It cost one of the patrons of the restaurant in which he is lord of the range $10, but it was worth it. The patron asked for fried chicken, and George brought it in in ten minutes, crisp and browned to a turn. "Dat's suittingly good time," said the diner. "Good time nuffin," replied George. "I can do the trick in five minutes flat." The money was put up, and George slapped a piece of lard in the frying pan, and while the grease was heating he just naturally mobilized that chicken, choked it to death, turned it inside out, substructed its interior and tossed it in the pan. Clockers timed him at 4 minutes 35 seconds. HUGE PROFIT IN COINS. Men Who Invested In Pioneers' Society Sale Made Money. San Francisco. Two local business men who bought a collection of 2,000 old coins from the Society of California Pioneers for $8,000 and recently sold two of these for $10,000, with the expectation of realizing approximately $50,000 more on the remainder, have created something of a sensation among the Pioneers as a result of the speculation. The Pioneer society had for years kept its coin collection in glass cases in the United States mint here, where thousands of persons have viewed it. Six months ago Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department wanted more room in the building and ordered the collection taken out. It was explained at the office of the society that it was deemed best to sell the collection for $8,000 rather than move it into its building, with watchmen, insurance and other expenses. WALKS MILES TO ENLIST. Man From Iowa Joins the North Dakota National Guard. Dickinson, N. D.-Robert Ryan of Cedar Rapids, Ia., joined Company K of the North Dakota national guard here the other day after a hike of 124 miles, which he said would put him in shape to begin active service. Ryan was at Glendive, Mont., when he decided to enter the federal service. Ryan took an account of his funds and decided to walk to the recruiting station rather than ride. When he arrived he was given his physical examination and immediately accepted and sent on his way to Fort Lincoln to join his company. He averaged thirty-one miles a day, making the trip from Glendive to Dickinson in four days. DOG SAVES OWN LIFE. Doomed to Take Gas Route, Designate Official Watchdog of Pound. Los Angeles, Cal.—Fannie, a stray collie, doomed to take the gas route at the city pound, won life and a home for herself the other day. While Humane Animal Inspector Wilson was repairing his auto the dog, which because of evident refinement of breeding had been given the liberty of the yard, dashed up to him, barked repeatedly and pulled at his coat. Inspector Wilson finally followed Fannie, only to discover the cookhouse in flames. The blaze was quickly extinguished. Fannie was presented with a collar and a ribbon and at the same time was designated official watchdog of the pound. Farmers Help Neighbor Centralia, Wis.—Merritt Baker of Ford's Prairie has been too ill this spring to put in his crops. The outlook was not very promising until recently when a number of his neighbors took charge of the situation. They plowed, put in the crops, trimmed the berry bushes and left everything in good shape for Mr. Baker to take hold as soon as his strength permits. HONORED BY CHINA Battling Aviator Lufbery Awarded an Oriental Decoration. GOT IT BEFORE PRESENT WAR. Premier Air Fighter In Lafayette Escadrille Officially Credited With Destroying Ten German Airplanes and Having Actually Shot Down Sixteen Tunic Liberally Decorated. Paris—Victor Raoul Givas Lufbery, second lieutenant in the French army and premier aviator in the Lafayette escadrille, being officially credited with destroying ten German airplanes and having actually shot down sixteen, is entitled to wear one other medal beside the Legion d'Honneur, Medalille Militaire, Croix de Guerre with four palms and British military medal, which he carries on the breast of his khaki tunic. He is the holder of a Chinese medal with a lengthy, unpronounceable name given to him before the war when, with Mare' he, a pioneer French MILITARIA Photo by American Press Association: LIEUTENANT LUFBERY. avilator, he went to Indo-China and then to China and flew in the principal cities there. This particular Chinese medal, which is in the form of a heavy gold slug, larger than a twenty dollar gold piece, and attached to a yellow and purple ribbon, entitles the weaver to the services of eight servants, all of whose wages are paid by the Chinese government at any time when the carrier of the insignia is on Chinese soil. "No; I haven't been wearing my Chinese medal during the war," said Lufbery, "but if China comes in as an ally I suppose I will wear it. The trouble is it's so heavy that I'm afraid it will make me round shouldered." Before the war-Lufbery lived in Wallingford; Coun., and his father still resides there. He has a brother in the French infantry and another in the artillery. He began in the French army as a mechanician and then was attached to the original American escadrille as a mechanic's helper. His qualities as a pilot were discovered one day when he obtained permission to make a flight, and then when he disclosed that he was an American citizen the American aviators insisted that he be accepted at once as a sergeant pilot. He made a series of flights next day before several aviation officers and was brevetted immediately. Swallowed by the Earth. Scranton, Pa.--While Mrs. Theodore Barton of 1107 Hampton street was pulling weeds out of her garden the earth suddenly began to settle, with the result that in an instant she was precipitated into an old mine working, eighteen feet below the surface. When the earth gave way the woman called for aid, and several neighbors responded. They managed to rescue her with the aid of a rope and ladder. She was uninjured. EVEN, SQUIRREL5 FEEL HIGH COST OF LIVING Altoona, Pa.—Altoona squirrels know a good thing when they see it, and Herbert C. Hoover has nothing on them for food conservation. Bags of peanuts have disappeared like magic from a stand at Lakemont park recently. The proprietor set a watch. He saw a bushy tailed visitor drop from a tree to the roof. Then he wiggled his way to the stand, grabbed his goobers and beat a retreat as well as a peanut vender. They trailed him and found his little home in the tree was tiled with peanuts for the hard winter ahead. 50c per week pays for this Grafonola Outfit Grafonola "25" and six double disc Record $29.50 House and Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts.

RAISING OF HOGS TO INSURE MEAT SUPPLY An Appeal to the Farmer Made by Department of Agriculture. Washington.—The praises of the hog as a meat producing animal are sung by the department of agriculture in an appeal to farmers to raise hogs, hogs and still more hogs as the quickest and surest way of increasing the nation's meat supply. "The hog is the most important animal to raise for meat and money," the statement says. "He requires less labor, less equipment, less capital, makes greater gains per hundred pounds of concentrates and reproduces himself faster and in greater numbers than any other domestic animal. As a consumer of byproducts the hog has no rival. No other animal equals the lard hog in its fat storing tendency. There is no animal which produces more meat and meat products than the hog. "Very near 50 per cent of the total value in dollars and cents of the meat and meat products slaughtered in the packing houses of the United States is derived from the hog. Three-fourths of the world's international trade in pork and pork products originates in the United States in normal times, and the war greatly has increased this proportion." The statement then points out that there was a decrease of 313,000 hogs at the end of 1916 compared with the previous year and adds: "If we expect to continue to provide meat to foreign peoples as well as our own people every farmer must put forth the best effort to produce more hogs." Uncle Sam's Men In Training Camps Say That Fashion Saves Time In Shaving. Camp Funston, Tex.—Mustaches are coming back. If the fashion which the young men of the army are setting is adopted by the civilian populace the hirsute adornment of the upper lip by the men of the country will become quite general. It was not with the view of adding to their personal appearance that the soldiers and prospective officers have returned to the style of their fathers in the matter of wearing mustaches. Necessity created it. The style first started about three weeks ago at the officers' training camp at this place, and it has spread to the younger officers of the regular army at Fort Sam Houston and to the officers of the national guard at Camp Wilson. "It is not because I thought I would be any better looking by wearing a mustache," said a student here, "but it is a time saver. You see, it is like this—we are put through such a strenuous pace here that every minute we can save is that much help. It takes the ordinary young man three or four minutes perhaps to shave his upper lip. Well, three or four minutes is some time in this camp, believe me." THIS SKELETON HORNED. It Looks Like Satan and Is Dug Out of Cave by Boys. Wheeling, W. Va.—The skeleton of a prehistoric man or animal that closely resembles the Satan usually pictured was unearthed here on Repman's hill by several boys. The skull of the skeleton is much like that of the present human race, with the exception of two horns, which project from just above the temples on each side. In life the creature was about four feet high, with a long tail. There are four powerful legs or arms, each of which has four fingers. The chest is broad and undoubtedly was heavily muscled in the flesh. The skeleton was located by boys who were digging a cave. Scared by the appearance of their gruesome find, the boys ran down the hill yelling, "We found the devil!" Several workmen went to the cave and dragged the skeleton out. Local authorities on prehistoric mammals and man being at sea, the skeleton was sent to Chicago for classification. RUBBER BOOTS SAVED HIM. Barn In Which Kiplinger Was Standing Struck by Lightning. Charlotte, Mich.-The fine new large barn on the C. B. Lamb farm, west of this town, in Carmel township, which is occupied by Grant Kiplinger, was struck by lightning, and the siding was torn off from top to bottom on both gables, the barn being about fifty feet in height. Mr. Kiplinger was standing in the barn at the time, and the stable doors, within two feet of him, were slivered, and he was stunned, but not hurt, by the shock. The fact that he was wearing rubber boots probably saved him from instant death. Grayfish on Market. Seattle, Wash. - Kippered grayfish and sablefish have lately been added to kippered salmon and cod in northwestern fish markets, but the bureau of fisheries is sending an expert through Alaska coast towns instructing the fishermen on the Scotch method of kippering herring. A few years ago the herring of the north Pacific had only the slightest value. Some were used for bait by fishermen, and same were barreled and salted and shipped to the orient. re 5... \ « i / “os a . : fs The greatesthelpwecangiveour ot | customers Is our considerate = method of arranging for their -_ 7 : \ ha | Pores ; oe C ® ° -° . fhe poorest policy ‘we can-imagine would be the offering of credit to induce people tobuy , beyond their means.
