TWELVE HUNDRED MILE TRAMP.
Some weeks ago we referred to the
walk from New York TO Tampa, Fla,
undertaken by Miss Dora Harrison, of
Evergreen, l.. |. The tramp was under
taken on a wager between the young
won ans mother and Mr.. Henry Hirsch
field Incidentally Miss Harrison had
referred to the idea of such a walk to
reduce her weight, and this led to the
wager. The tramp started from Brook
lyn on January 2, and Miss Hirschfield
reached her goal March 8, walking an
average of twenty miles day One
day wall!ing from Baltimore to Wash
in6ton she covered forty-seven miles.
On her arrival at Tampa Miss Harrl-
son telegraphe home and got her wag-
er by return mail She made the trip
in a short walking skirt, shirtwaist and
sweater, and comfortable walking
shoes.

lcHlLDREN,a-FJRlM BALL.

The childrens ball of Congregation
Adath Yeshurun at Turner Hall on
Tuesday night was a complete success.
The weather was all that could be
desired and the children seemed to
have turned out and enjoyed them
selves immensely. There were quite
a number of original and elaborate
costumes, Specially noticed by the
judges were tramp, country yokel,
queen of hearts, combination of
nan and woman, and quite a number
of others, but the girls prize was
given to little Clara Lang, who repre-
sented an Indian girl, and the boys
prize was awarded to little Jake Levin
who represented little red devil. The
bazaar committee of the Bikor Choim
Purim Ball completed it's work and
realized quite neat sum for that we'll
deserving society. The committee is
under obligation to many who aided in
both affairs, and the Individual thanks
will be rendered in our next issue.
Much credit is due to Mrs. M. j.
schlom for her work as chairman of
the ladies' committee.

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS

George Won L. Meyer, Secretary of
the Navy, has very recently returned
from Europe, where he made a close
study Of naval affairs and methods in
England.
Secretary Meyer reports that he was
particularly impressed with the British
method of dealing with desertions and
leave breaking by men of the navy. He
declares that Great Britain handles such
cases with a great deal more humanity
and good results than is to be found in
our own disposition of like cases.
The principal punishment for offenses
against discipline in England is keeping
the offender at drill and at useful work
the whole of each day. This is of double
bene fit to the man himself. 1t Furnishes
him and at the same time contributes to
his value and efficiency to himself as
well as TO the country.
The men are separated from their
fellows. but there is no brutalizing pri.
son effect and no prison garb to break
down the spirit of the man and make
him an enemy of his country. Secre.
tary Meyer reports that it does the
work, and that the men do not want to
repeat the experience of the extra work.
He frankly announces his purpose to
put the system in to use in this country.

Reports from many sections of Ne

dying from mysterious cause, says the
Carson Appeal. The disease is reported
in many sections. The small dairy
owner as we'll as the big cattleman is
suffering from the effects of the disease.
The cattle act as they would from eat
ing poisonous grass or weeds. They
are sick but few hours as if paralyzed
when they die. AT one place in Carson
valley seven out of ten head owned by
a small farmer have died in the past
two weeks. He insists that there is no
poisonous grass on his farm and is deep
ly puzzled to know the cause. Other
farmers in this section are complaining

Keeping Majestic Cool.

1t matters not how high the mer-
curry may climb this summer the
management of the Majestic has ar
ranged to keep the interior of that
place of amusement cooled while
performances are being given. A
large suction far has been installed
which expels the foul air as fast as
il is accumulated. The fan has been
placed over the stage and a pip2
through which the air passes extends
across the stage to an opening in the
rear of the building. AS the air in
the building is stirred up by the
ceiling fans it is drawn into this
pipe by a suction. In this way the
current of air is changed every two
minutes, thus keeping the room cool

YOUR Horse needs clipping. Phon
j. D. Keininningham. 81"
Morris tribune., 1911-12-22

who is an old soldier entitled
"Politics and Pensions. am fully
aware that / am not qualified to enter
into a discussion with you On this
matter, but on behalf of the old
soldiers of my Post feel as if the
time has come when we should enter
a protest against such editorials as
this. The writer is a reader of your
valuable paper and Republican in
politics. but in the language of Henry
George, is "for men," Last year
the Sulloway Pension bill passed the
House by about the same majority as
the Sherwood Bill of recent date and
was endorsed by the legislatures of
| two thirds of the northern states. AS
old soldiers we are grateful for what
the government has done for us but
we feel as though any measure of
relief as proposed in the Sulloway or
Sherwood bills we are justly entitled
to. The writer does not know where
you were during the Civil War. If
you were old enough your place was
in the Union army; if not, the writer
will take you back in memory to those
dark days of our country's peril when
the badge of mourning was on the
homes of so many. in our land for
those who laid down their lives for
their country. We were not asked
at that time what the cost would be
or if we returned should be we'll paid
for our country's defense. No protest
by you of the many ways that millions
are spent for battleships, Panama
Canal, rivers and harbors and many
other ways. We as old soldiers be-
lieve that the Sherwood bill is just
and right and that we are entitled to
it. There are very few under IS
years of age as shown by the Pension
Department and the average is oyer
70. We spent some of the best. years
of our lives in our country's service
and those days of SO years ago are all
as a dream. We do not want. any
more war and in few years more
we will all be called to that camping
ground eternal in the heavens.
In conclusion, the writer will say
the Sulloway bill was passed by a
Republican House and killed in the
Senate by good Republican-the'
Hon. Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts.
