From the Nebraska STATE Journal
If q hostess has an uncertain smile and
wandering glance when greeting a guest. It
is safe to suspect that she IS looking for sharp
buckles and buttons before venturing to seat
the newcomer in one OF her mahogany chairs.
II signs OF these tahooed ornaments are
discovered the weRrer is gently persuaded
TO try a scat padded and cushioned With
feminine perversity she usually manages TO
wriggle into the latest bit of polished carved
wood while the hostess is momentaruy dis
tracted by watching another arrival. In this
connection 1t is interesting to note thht the
popularity Of cut steel and jet Is as undated
as IA that OF mahogany.

COAP EATING

whenever you hear Of a high percentage
OF sickness among the sailors OF the Ameri-
can navy said Jack Montgomery. with
cheerful grin, don't get excited about
Il. Not unless there's a bunch Of deaths
resulting These epidemics among the
Jaokies come pretty regular, but they
don't yield a very heavy percentage OF
dead or disabled
Il had plenty Of shore leave every trip
/ ever was on and most OF the time IN
navy yards, and there was a lot OF others
just as lucky. Awful percentage OF ILL
mess on the ships those days. and probably
Ia to-day for one bunch OF jaokies will
always teach their deviltries TO the next
crowd.
That's why gay never let yourself
worry about the men Of Unole Sans navy
and never let yourself imagine that the
hard work or the rations is likely TO Kill
of any Of 'em. not even If you hear that
two-thirds OF the North Atlantic Squadron
are helpless in their hunks and that 80
per cent-ef the European squadron atr t
expected TO live.
you've heard how convicts eat soap
TO make them look sick. act sick. and really
be sick. when they want n layoh from
hard labor? Well. I believe some eI-
convict must have told some sailor the
secret. and, Of course. the information
spread.
ANYHOW, soap eating has become al
most a craze on naval ships these days.
and III bet little something that half
the men in the sick bay 60 there from
eating soap. It's the most popular method
Of getting shore leave that anybody has
ever introduced. and there's been lot of
games tried. at that.
"On board my ship the habit spread
ike wildfire It's the easiest thing in
the world-just chew up bar OF soap
no. no. not all at one time-and you'll be
the aiokest man that ever walked. You'll
have staring eyes. and a coated tongue,
and agony in the stomach, and all kinds Of
friRhtful symptoms.
THE best thing about it is that the syrnp-
toms vary with different men. They'll
all be sick but their illnesses won't be
enough alike to make the doctor too know

Well. after you get properly and thor

beRone that the doctor will always pre-
scribe shore leave. anywhere from two
TO six weeks. and it's away for land. with
the health returning in large. rapid jumps
with every stroke the oar takes on the way
TO solid ground.
Now, as you may suppose. the trick OF
eating soap isn't one to appeal o an cpl
cure. In fact, there's nothing in the world
that tastes much ranker than a cake OF
soap, and the more you eat the worse II
tastes.

at Rockford,
B0RROWS MONEY ON DEED
Crime Is Forgery and Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses-Gets Alb
stract From Farmer.

Sheriff Heider has received an
nouncement that a reward of $500 is
offered for a man going under the
name of John Hoover. who is a clever
swindler. He is wanted at Rockford
for forgery and obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Hoover's method of operation is to
go TO a farmer and make a pretense of
wanting to purchase the farm for his
SON He asks the farmer for an alb
stract of the title to the farm. which
he wants his attorney TO look over.
After he gains possession of the abb
stract he goes to a village notary pub
lie and asks him 10 make out a power
of attorney saying that he wants to
send il away. After getting this. which
bears the notary seal. he has the seal
reproduced.
Abstract is Good.
Mr.. Hoover then goes To a lawyer
and has the abstract examined and the
records investigated with the eXplana-
ton that he wants TO purchase the
property. OF course the attorney usu-
ally finds the abstract TO be good. and
so pronounces it. The lawyer is asked
TO draw up the deed and when this is
done the man takes ii to the hotel and
proceeds to clevery forge the names
of the farmer and his wife
He returns with the deed and the
plea that it has taken all of his ready
money to make the purchase and he
wants 70 borrow some on the properly
This is done sometimes through a real
estate man who brings in SOMEBODY'S
