Domestic trouble was said to have been the cause. MISS RUBY THORNTON Atchison, Kansas. A Young Woman of Exceptional Parts, Brainy, Talented and Useful. While pessimists and cranks are throwing water as it were, trying to retard the progress and discourage our people. Many are preparing themselves to do for the race greater work and more efficient service for the uplift of humanity; to this latter class belongs Miss Thornton, who has been attending the University of Wisconsin summer school for the past three summers to obtain her Master's Degree in History. While in Madison she found time to help along many lines that would tend to uplift her people. She taught the adult class of The Mt. Zion S. S. (Baptist) and the interest she put in the work causes many to be anxious too, and did attend the school. The good people of the church and the community in general did not allow her efforts to go unrewarded. She was the recipient of many social functions, which bespeak the high esteem in which she was held. The Blade is indebted to her for the many editorials written for its columns. She has consented to cover the National Business League while in Kansas. Miss Thornton made many warm and lasting friends while in Madison who will gladly welcome her return.

Washington Ave. Madison, Wis. Candidate for Republican Nomination FOR SHERIEF DANE COUNTY At the Primary Sept. 5, 1916 To the Voters of Dane Couney:— During my term as sheriff—1897, 1898—I took fortyfour persons to the state prison. Of this number, only one stood trial. All the others plead guilty, and I secured confessions from practically all of them and saved the tax-payers of the county the expense of their trials. At least $100,000 was saved by reason of my securing their confessions. This is something that I think should be considered by every voter when he comes to select his candidate for the office of sheriff. If elected sheriff, I will take special charge of the criminal side of the work of sheriff, as I did before. There is another thing that I would like to have you consider, and that is that this will probably be the last time you will ever have an opportunity to vote for a Civil War Veteran. I have two honorable discharges from Uncle Sam. If you want the Blade to succeed patronize the merchants who ask for your trade through its columns.

THE DANE COUNTY FAIR The 1916 Dane County Fair of August 29, 30, 31 and September 1 promises to be the best in the history of the fair association. Premiums, purses, free attractions on a larger well organized scale insure the public of a brand of entertainment unequaled by any county fair in the world. The race program includes such features as the Free-for-All pace for the Fauerbach Brewing Co. purse of $1,000, the 2:08 pace for the Capitol Hotel purse of $1,000, and the 2:17 trot for the Park Hotel purse of $1,000. In addition, six paces and six trots along with one running race each day, including a one mile Derby dash, bring the race purse to a total of $8,500. Such a program cannot be duplicated by any county fair, and will bring together some of the fastest horses in the country. No money has been spared in arranging a free attraction that will satisfy the most critical. Besides the First Regiment Band that will play throughout each of the four days, the celebrated Alvo troup with four feature troup act, and the Willur society circus troup featuring their twenty-five famous quadrupeds, will furnish free performances worth seeing. In addition, Casey and Ohnstad, wrestlers extraordinary, will give entertaining and instructive wrestling exhibitions lasting about twenty-five minutes daily. The most novel ballon ascension will take place each day when the flyer will take three separate parachute drops after cutting loose from the big balloon. The mere mention of the above facts guarantees to the public four solid hours entertainment each day, and represents the best free attraction program ever to be held on the platform opposite the grandstand. Grounds comprising 120 acres make it possible to adequately care for no less than 30,000 people and 5,000 automobiles. Prompt transportation facilities, modern and suitable quarters for all live stock all go to make the Dane County fair live up to its name as advertised—The Fair of Fairs. Come to Madison and see for yourself the best county fair of the year.—Adv. LET THE MADISON STEAM DYE WORKS DO YOUR CLEAN- ING. kly Blade Consin Jurisdiction. 7,000 Members Milwaukee, Wis.

VATICAN HAS SHIP UNCLE SAM TELLS For First Time Since 1870 Papa Flag Flies Over Steamer. TO CONVEY REPRESENTATIVES Pointed With White and Yellow Stripes—Safety Said to Be Guaranteed—Reported Von Buelow Believed Best Way to Punish Italy Was to Restore Temporal Power to Pope. Rome.—For the first time since 1870 the Papal flag is flying over a steamer owned by the Vatican, and strangely enough, it is sheltered in the Civita Vecchia harbor with the consent of the government at Rome. When United Italy under Victor Emmanuel II. established the house of Savoy at Rome in 1870, the pope was deprived of all power and position as a sovereign. He became a voluntary prisoner in the Vatican, while the king housed his court in the former papal palace of the Quirinal. As every king has been a devoted Catholic, the enmity between the king and pope has been a political expediency, a fiction in fact. Loyalty PAPAL Photo by American Press Association. POPE BENEDICT XV. to the Catholic church on the part of influential members of the Italian cabinet, combined with the fear of German submarines, has brought to the pope the privilege of flying his own flag once more in Italian waters. The steamer has been bought by the Vatican to convey officials of the Catholic church whom the pope desires to send abroad as his representatives. The first voyage will be to South America, to convey the new papal nuncio, Mgr. Bassallo di Torregrossa, to Buenos Aires. The steamer, to be known as the Nunculus, is painted with broad white and yellow stripes easily distinguished by submarines. Its safety is guaranteed, it is understood, by one of those secret agreements with Germany of which the papacy has been accused at various times by the quadruple entente. There would appear, however, to be no necessity for such a guarantee after the German government had been informed that such a vessel was on the high seas. Nothing would be gained by its destruction through a submarine. On the other hand, to grant it safety, even without this being requested by the papacy, would warm the hearts of Emperor William's 'catholic subjects and stimulate their loyalty to him. Prince von Buelow, a diplomatic envoy at the Vatican in his younger years, long before he was German ambassador at Rome, has always been friendly to the papal government. It is reported in London and has been for eight or nine months that Buelow believes in the restoration of temporal power to the pope as the best method of punishing Italy for participating in the war against her former allies of the triple alliance. While making extended visits to Switzerland Buelow has had frequent consultations with Catholic cardinals and other dignitaries of the church. The pope's refusal to align himself on the side of the quadruple entente and especially to make public any protest against the invasion of Catholic Belgium by the Germans is declared in England to be due to a promise made by the sovereigns of the central empires that his temporal authority is to be restored after the war. The plan is, according to these reports, to make the pope the political as well as the spiritual sovereign in Palestine. A small state would be established, including Jerusalem and the other holy places as well as the seaport of Jaffa. The territory is believed to be enormously rich in natural resources and to be able to support a cardinal vicarcy, who would rule there in the name of the pope. The British government a few months after the beginning of the war made the extraordinary move of sending a minister to the Vatican, Sir Henry Howard, who had had a long diplomatic experience. This was a recognition of the pope's status as a sovereign, which Britain, along with all other non-Catholic governments, withdrew from the pope in 1870. Russia at the same time repaired her legation at the Vatican, where there had been no envoy for some time on account of the refusal of Russia to grant Catholics the protection which the papacy demanded. France has had no representative at the Vatican for some time, and neutral Catholic countries like Spain had also broken off diplomatic relations with the pope before the war. UNCLE SAM TELLS OF PARALYSIS Health Department Issues Study of Infantile Disease. WHAT THE EXPERTS LEARN Represents Many Years of Study by Physician Who Is Considered Best Authority In the Country—Disease Is Widespread, and Epidemics Are Likely to Occur at Any Place. Authoritative summary of what the United States has been able to learn about the cause and transmission of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) was given out by the treasury department, under which the public health service operates. This "study" of the disease, published at this time because of the extensive epidemic in New York, has been prepared by Wade H. Frost, past assistant surgeon of the public health service, who is considered the best authority on the disease in this country and who has been sent to New York to take charge of the federal bureau activities. It represents many years of personal observation in several epidemics and an extensive review of all literature obtainable upon the subject. It gives the last word, as the federal health authorities get it, about this disease. A summary on these findings is given as follows: "Reviewing briefly the data and considerations which have been discussed, poliomyelitis is due to a specific infective agent, of which the only demonstrated natural sources are infected human beings, who may be divided into the following groups: The recognized sick, convalescents, the sick not recognizable as poliomyelitis cases and passive virus carriers apparently in good health. "The infective agent is known to be discharged from these sources in the excretions of the respiratory and digestive tracts. It is known to be fairly resistant to the destructive agencies encountered in nature outside of the human body. Perhaps the most significant fact in regard to the experimental transmission of poliomyelitis to monkeys is that they may be infected by rubbing the virus on the nasal mucous membrane. Infection through the digestive tract or through the agency of biting insects has been found more difficult and less constant. "The disease is in nature of widespread though rare sporadic or endemic occurrence. In epidemics it has occurred in recent years over a large part of the world, the outbreak being sometimes discreet, at other times spreading rapidly but irregularly over wide areas. Run a Rapid Course. "Such epidemics characteristically run a rather rapid course in a given community, declining after a few months or less after having attacked so far as is evident only a small proportion of the total inhabitants, usually not more than one in a thousand, and do not recur in the same locality for a period of at least two years. In epidemic foci children under five are attacked much more often than are older persons, the whole adult population remaining virtually immune in some epidemics. "The rapid spread of epidemics over wide areas, their spontaneous decline after only a small proportion of the inhabitants have been attacked and above all the preponderating incidence in young children have not been satisfactorily explained by any hypothesis other than that the infective agent during epidemics is widespread, reaching a large proportion of the population, but only occasionally finding a susceptible individual, usually a young person, in whom it produces characteristic morbid effects. Assuming this rare susceptibility, the well established facts collected by epidemiologic studies are compatible with the evidence of laboratory experiments that the disease is directly transmissible from person to person. "As to what constitutes susceptibility or the converse—immunity—practically nothing can be deduced except that age is obviously a factor of importance, susceptibility being generally greatest in the first half decade of life, thereafter progressively diminishing until in adult life there is a very general immunity to natural infection. The reason for this is at present a matter of speculation. Conceivably the greater immunity of adults may be due to a nonspecific resistance, developing naturally with maturity without reference to previous exposure to or infection with the specific virus of poliomyelitis. On the other hand, there are certain facts which suggest that the very general immunity of adults may be specific, acquired from previous unrecognized infection." T. B. TAKE NOTICE! Texas Men Organizing a Regiment of Red Headed Men. H. H. Baer of Brownsville and C. D. Harader of Untontown, Tex., are planning the organization of the only "red headed" volunteer brigade in the country. It is proposed to recruit the men from Fayette, Somerset and Green counties. The brigade will be offered to the government for duty in Mexico should war be declared. To qualify for the brigade one must be possessed of red hair. Red headed nurses for the Red Cross contingent and red headed musicians will complete the brigade. WAR AND INSANITY WAR AND INSANITY Has Not Driven Mad So Many Soldiers as Was Expected. FIRST REPORTS EXAGGERATED Dr. Dumas, Who Has Treated All Cases of Meatal Trouble In One of French Armies, Describes Queer Illusions of Demented—Cases of General Paralysis Few. Paris.—The war has not driven mad so many persons as was expected in the early stages. Statistics thus far show that the first reports of men going crazy under the infernal fire of modern artillery were exaggerated. A report made by Dr. Dumas, who has treated all the cases of mental trouble in one of the French armies, covers 1,188 cases of derangement, of which only $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent were cases of general paralysis, while in most asylums in time of peace the proportion is 15 per cent. This he takes as conclusive evidence that the fatigues and commotions of war have no influence upon the development of this form of insanity. General paralytics, however, when they become delirious, rave about the war, the same as cases in which the symptoms are quite different, and Dr. Dumas concludes that the life of the combatant often simply gives a war color to delirium that would have existed under normal circumstances, but in a different form. Horror inspired by battle scenes sometimes works directly on the nervous system, developing symptoms such as hysteria, speechlessness, deafness, loss of the sense of feeling, fits of mental confusion or paralysis, not always accompanied by hallucinations or delirium. Optimism of the most exaggerated type is the dominating note in the hallucinations of the paralytics, and Dr. Dumas considers it a wonder that officers do not in fits of exaltation give absurd heroe orders that lead to disasters. In one case a lieutenant who declared to the doctor that he had "cleaned out a German trench with two machine guns that he had carried on his back from a point several miles in the rear" had remained in command of his section until forty-eight hours before he was examined. A few days later a captain was brought to Dr. Dumas fresh from the command of his company suffering from an equally radical fit of "exaggerated optimism." A considerable number of the mentally debilitated have the mania of invention. Dr. Dumas is of the opinion that the number of these cases outside the army would be found greater in proportion if the minister of munitions could make public the correspondence he receives from civilians. Among the debilitated were several men and officers who didn't know where and for whom they had been fighting. One declared that he was unaware that France was at war. NATIVE HAWAIIAN INDUSTRIES To Be Revived and Developed In Recently Established Village. Honolulu. The island of Hawaii has set aside at a point near Hilo, the chief city and seaport, a large area of forest land for the purpose of a unique public park.

The Hawaiian village will show the olden time grass houses, which will be inhabited by carefully selected Hawaiians. Here will be made the lauhala hats and mats, together with the beautiful koa bowls and vessels for which the islands were famous. BEAR CUBS CAUGHT Gentle as Puppies After Their Mother Was Driven Away. Estacada, Ore.-Fred Bannister of Estacada returned recently from a trip in the interests of the forestry department near Cary's Hot Springs, on the Upper Clackamas river, bringing with him two brown bear cubs. These cubs are about three months old and were captured by Bannister after the mother bear had been driven off and the youngsters allowed to climb a tall tree. Temporarily the animals, which are as gentle as puppies, will be kept in Estacada, where they are furnishing much amusement for young and old.

MISS MAY JONES SITS IN GOVERNOR'S CHAIR Acts as North Carolina Executive While Governor Craig is Detained From Capital. Raleigh, N. C.-While Governor Craig was isolated at Asheville on account of the floods that put out of commission train service between that part of the state and this, Miss May Jones, his private secretary, performed the duties of chief executive. She was free to exercise all powers of the office except those constitutionally invested in the governor. Her only assistant was Miss Mamie C. Turner, the newly appointed executive secretary, who has assumed her duties, succeeding Joseph J. Mackay, Jr., who resigned. This is perhaps the only governor's office in the United States where all its employees are women. During the day Miss Jones announced the appointment of a hundred delegates who are to represent No. 1 Carolina officially at four gatherings, including the deeper waterways convention and the national negro educational conference. She also announced that she had issued extradition papers for an alleged bigamist wanted in Georgia and held in this state. HOUSE HAS MELON FEAST. Many Washington Notables Turn Out For Adamson's Party. Washington—Forty Georgia watermelons were cut in the rooms of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce recently, and Chairman Adamson contributed to an early adjournment of the lower body when he announced on the floor that all members were invited to attend the cutting. Secretary McAdoo, Assistant Secretary Newton, First Assistant Postmaster General Roper, Speaker Clark and a hundred members of the house and members of the press gallery were on hand. As the last melon was cut Representative James R. Mann proposed three cheers and a tiger for Charley Adamson and the Georgia watermelon. Two score women, the wives of house members, joined in the cheering. The Blade is on sale at the following places: Mosley & Smith, 202 E. Washington Ave., Trotter & Hopkins, 222 E.

Bandera, Tex.-Bandera probably enjoys the distinction of having the youngest judge in Texas, if not in the whole country. Joseph G. Montague, twenty years old, has just been chosen to prescind No. 1 in this county by the commissioner's court to succeed H. B. White, resigned. The new jurist is a graduate of the class of '15 of St. Louis college, San Antonio, Tex., and since graduation has been in the law office of his father, the late Charles Montague. Mr. Montague, though in the ordinary course of affairs is a minor, yet legally is of age, having had his disabilities as a minor removed at the last term of the district court. necessary for chiefs of platoons and squad leaders to be able at all times each to lead their own group of men in any direction, officers have purposely inverted and mixed up fours and squads and then allowed noncoms and men to straighten themselves out from resulting confusion. Letter From Beauty Squad Perhaps it was the moon, but anyway the beauty squad of Company K, Second Illinois infantry, has burst in verse in the following letter: Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio Tex. A little news which may interest you. Private Patrons of the eighth squad looked and asked the boys they threw him into the watering trough. Just think, twenty-three of us may go for an automobile ride, provided we get 50 cents. All the boys in camp are rather restless waiting to seize some Mexicans along the border. Private Strand has gained three pounds since he came here. He is writing night writing letters, and Private Tolleson is now taking his beauty sleep, being 1 p.m. He said it is getting hot. Private Narkiewicz of the beauty squad rolled down a hill with rifle and side arms 'cause he heard the rustle of a skirt. For some young lady I never read the side lights. I happened to see your ad., and then came an idea I thought would make you glad, So down I sat with pen in hand To write this little line To ask this single question, "I what thine?" Although I don't know who you are, But you're a soldier true. So I will believe in you As in the red, white and blue. So if this note will cheer your heart Let us hope that we may never part, But I hope that we will true Just so I will hope for you. Wear this flower on your breast And think of one who could love you best. (Composed by Privates Lavine and Kares of beauty squad 3.)

All about Mexican snipers attacking First Illinois regiment (by Colonel Joe Sanborn).—"H—1, they were nothing but poachers shooting doves. A couple of spent 22 caliber bullets fell in camp. It's got to stop, though. I know who's THE HORSEMAN Photo by American Press Association. EXAMINING A HORSE doing the shooting. I see these regular enlisted men from the post go down the road with their 22 rifles and know who's after a Mexican dove for supper." The First regiment camp bulges an L into a thick shrub growth of many acres. The doves feed in there, and poachers have been using small rifles at random since the camp was made. On several occasions shots have ricocheted into the camp, but the inspiration to make the authors "Mexican snipers" didn't occur until several days later. Some Quick Work It was all so sudden. Between Dec. 3 and July 10 Corydon F. Battershell was ordained to the ministry, met Miss Gladys Bond, wooed her, became engaged to her four days after her graduation from the Hyde Park high school of Chicago, accepted a position as minister of the Marinette (Wis.) Baptist church, joined the millitia, was called to the front, was married three months ahead of time at his fiancee's suggestion, went on his honeymoon to Camp Douglas and left for San Antonio, where he is now located with Company I, Second regiment, Wisconsin organized millitia. Mrs. Battershell is the daughter of A. J. Bond of 1512 East sixty-fifth street. The Bonds are members of the Rev. M. P. Boynton's church and were present at the ordination of the Rev. Mr. Battershell. Within two months the engagement was announced. The language of camp life is rapidly settling down to a caliber which the mules and horses can understand. Oaths long buried since the Civil war are being unearthed and distributed. There is something about the life that makes profanity necessary. It is purely impersonal, but what else can one do when a man walks over you and your equipment with army boots caked with clay six inches thick? He doesn't mean to; there is no use seeking an apology. You will do it to some one else in five minutes. Speaking of celebrities, Kid McCoy is back from his chase after that runaway horse. The Kid rounded up the animal with a lasso. Nobody ever suspected him of being such an expert with the lariat, but the Kid explained that he took a course at night school.

BIG LOSS BY DEPREDATIONS. Northern Border of Country Attacked at Intervals, and Valuable Stores of Chicle Are Taken and Readily Sold to Nearby Dealers, Who Ship to United States. Guatemala City.-The people of the republic of Guatemala, Mexico's neighbor to the south, are about as nearly out of patience with the Carranza government as are those of the United States. The depredations along the northern border of this country, which began as soon as Carranza found himself accepted by the American government as a real ruler, have continued at intervals ever since. The damage suffered by the citizens living on the frontier has not been so great as that inflicted on Americans along the Texas, Arizona and New S. W. PRESIDENT ESTRADA CARRERA. Mexico border, because the dividing line is much shorter and the country is less thickly settled. The tactics against Americans, however, seem to be the same as those employed in the north—the quick raid upon some isolated and unprotected hamlet, the shooting of a few inoffensive and unarmed people, the looting and the hurried get away. Although the Carranza government has steadily disclaimed all responsibility for these incursions and has placed the responsibility upon the onepresent bandits, enough evidence has been collected by government agents to show that many of the attacks were participated in by men known to be Carranza partisans maintaining a loose sort of military organization. Among the few Americans in the northern part of Guatemala these attacks by Mexicans are spoken of as "chewing gum raids." In almost every case, particularly along the frontier of the department of Peten, the object of the maurauders is to steal the laboriously obtained and valuable stores of chicle from which chewing gum is made and for which the forests of Peten are famous. The chicle finds a ready market among dealers near by and is shipped out of the country as a Mexican product, usually to the United States. A trip through the interior of the country is sufficient to convince the traveler that the republic was never in a more peaceful condition. The only revolutionary efforts that have been discovered have been those of Mexicans, most of whom are known to be in Carranza's pay. These gentlemen have been promptly deported. United States silver dollars in the district between Guatemala City and Puerto Barrios, the Atlantic port, are much more in evidence than they are along Broadway. No one seems to be able to explain the infux of coins, but they are welcomed, and the tattered money of the republic is a bad second in popularity. Only second in importance to the business boom among all classes is the effective solution of the high cost of living problem. Bread forms the most in portant part of the people's food, and bread has been steadily rising in price on account of the control of the grist mills by a few large syndicates. President Estrada Cabrera called a halt on this by nationalizing all the water powers of the country, setting up mills and leasing them under suitable regulations. These mills cut the price of bread, and the syndicate, unable to compete with them by using steam power, found their grip on the pantry of the republic broken.

HOW TO ADDRESS LETTERS TO SOLDIERS TO INSURE DELIVERY. Letters to the guardsmen on the Mexican border have begun to accumulate in the postoffices because of insufficient address. It is essential in order to insure prompt delivery that the address should contain the address's name, together with his rank and the unit to which he is attached. As an example a proper address for all classes of mail should be in the following form: "Private Doe Doe. "Co. A. 7th Regiment, N. G. N. Y., Military Camp, Brownsville, Tex."

Francis Hummel, professor of German at the Curtis high school, Staten Island, was observed the other day on a ferryboat that was conveying Troop F on its way to Van Cortlandt park. The observer was a girl, a former pupil—surprised to see the professor in a private's uniform of the United States service. She had known him as a champion of the kaiser's cause. "Why, Herr Hummel," she said with smiling eyes, "you astonish me! I could only think of you in a German uniform, fighting, as you have frequently spoken of doing, for the fatherland." The professor did not smile. He said with gravity: "Yes, my dear young lady, I had thought that never would I fight for any country but the fatherland. Yet you see, I have two children born in America. And the other day I saw one of them as I sat on my porch, and she was happy and healthy—full of life—playing about the lawn. "As she romped she held an American flag. She waved it in full happiness and triumph. I said to myself then: 'If that flag is good enough for my children to live under it is good enough for me to fight for.' I promptly enlisted." Professor Hummel left for Texas with Troop F.
