In '63 Bascom went to Gettysburg
to fill breach caused by the death
of some other boy, and help keep
the colOrs up" Gettysburg was also
his destination in '13, but the call of
country was for the obliteration of
North and South" The apprehen-
sion of Louise Shotwen Bascom this
time was chiefly due to the heat.
BascOm was one of 100 veterans
from Cincinnati and vicinity who de-

the Grand Central depot to see the
fighters off. It was a strictly stag
affair. The wives were left at the
gates. But they did all they could.
They saw that lunch basket fasten-
ings were secure, gave the final
Strengthening hitch to white ties and
kissed their fighters goodbye and
then stood beyond the gates and
waved handkerchiefs as the special
pulled out.
John Geyer also made his second
invasion of Gettysburg in the past
half-centUry. Geyer has a mission,
as he had in SO. He is hunting a
Johnny Reb. And if he finds him, he |

walk up to him and put his arm
around the others shoulder, and say:

to thank you for helping me out of a |
mess, and to ask you if those ratfons |
were good?"
Geyer was shot at Gettysburg and
six months in Libby
prison. He gave a hungry Confed-
crate soldier his rations, and the
latter helped him to escape.

Kansas City, Mo-, July "A pref

police board and that article will not
be banished from saloons when the
state law prohibiting the serving of
free lunches becomes effective.
Before reaching the decision, Com
missioner Reynolds put the question:
as or is not a pretzel fOOd?"
Commissioner O'DOwd replied that
a starving man would not even
glance at a pretzel.
The dictionary was resorted to and
this definition read:
'Pretzel-A brittle cake, twisted

O'Dowd agreed and permission to

BIG PARADE HANDLED
BY TELEPHONE

Denver, Colo, Aug. S-With
over 10000 men in line, General
John Chase and his committee of
assistants will form the gigantic
Knight Templar parade here al
most entirely by telephone. A
special central switchboard has
been installed at conclave head
quarters and by means of branch
telephones at short intervals along
the line of march the committee
will be keep in direct touch with
the movements and progress of the
vast army of marching Knights.
Besides the host of Sir Knights
who are in attendance at the con-
clave there are over 100, 900 visitors
in the city, and unusual and care
full plans have been prepared for
their care and comfort. Special
plans have been arranged by the
telephone company in anticipation
of the great increase in the number
of telephones calls during the con
clave. For months past that COM
pany has been busy installing en-
ergency telephones, ad d it ion a |
switch board facilities and training
the 80 extra operators who will be
required to assist the regular force
in handling the calls. Over $50
emergency telephones have been
connected with the newspapers and
hotels and information bureaus,
and at various places along the
streets telephones connected with
the central exchange have been
provided for the convenience of
the visitors.
Discussing the telephones prep
'aration for the conclave visitors,
an official of The Mountain States
Telephone Company said today:
Emergencies such as this require
that we provide facilities far be
yond our usual daily need. The
present convention with its vast
influx of visitors and consequent
increase of telephone calls is only
repetition of other conventions
we have handled, and will have to
handle in the future. Our plant
investment has always been, and
must always be, sufficient to take
care of not only the usual daily
business, but maximum number of
calls that come to our switch
boards. This is true not only Of
Denver and other large centers
but of each one Of our exchanges
throughout the territory. Every
telephone call must be handled as
unit The provisions in Denver
during the present conclave are
such that each one of the daily
100000 calls will be handled as
promptly and as carefully as at any
other time"

DIRECT ELECTION OF v. S.
SENATORS NOW LAW

Washington, April 1O.-The direct
election of United States senators by
the people was authorized and made
a part of the constitution today when
the Connecticut legislature ratified the
constitutional amendment which was
submitted by congress less than a year
ago.
The situation in some of the states
is rather confused for the fact that
senators will have served out their
terms before the Legislature can meet
to prescribe rules for the direct cleo
ton.
While the proclamation has not been
issued by the secretary of state. Sena-
tors Bristow and Borah, who lead the
fight declare that the law is now
part of the constitution.
The state legislature was given the
authority TO prescribe the rules un-
der which the elections shall be held.
Many of the assemblies have adjourn
ed and will not meet until 1915 again
This would give but few weeks be-
fore the election of senators. Ii is
thought that if extra sessions are not
called the governors will appoint sena-
tors for the short interium.
