HIS MAKEUP MADE TROUBLE
Prominent indianapolis Man Was
Called. on to Do Some Strenuous
Explaining to OFFICER.

The next time g. Edgar Turner
takes part in a minstrel show he prob
ably will remove his makeup before
he starts home.
Mr.. Turner was one Of the end men
in the Third Christian church min
strel show last week. After the per-
torrance he started to his home in.
Park avenue, nearby, Immediately, not
taking time to restore his face to its
once lily Wilderness. To make the
quickest time he went up an alley and
there was where he got into trouble.
A policeman stopped him and wished
an explanation. Mr.. Turner thought
the jokes that had been perpetrated
at the show had taken pretty well
with the audience, so he could not be-
lieve he was being arrested for that.
Being a lawyer and sizing up the
situation, he at once began his argu-
ment for the defense. He explained
that he was not a real negro; that he
had been to minstrel show and was
taking the shortest way home. Then
IA0 pOAAC0mdu 0ApldiuSu that ucSTO
had been murdered by another negro
in that vicinity not many days ago and
that the police had been watching&for
the offender
Just why the police thought the ne
gro who committed the murder would
come back to the scene of his crime
was not explained as far as is known.

Surgeons with the French army de-
scribe peculiar mental condition
called hypnosis of battle" which they
have noticed in soldiers who have
been in action. The hypnotic state
lasts from two or three days to a
week, and even longer. Then con-
sciousness suddenly returns.
The victim is incapable of walking
unless pushed or led by the hand, but
when placed on his feet stands erect
and motionless, with the head bent
forward and eyes half closed. He can
not be awakened, but is not in state
Of coma. In some instances eondi.
ton Of hallucinatory delirium ap-
pears when verbal inquiry is made
Of the patient as to his experiences in
the battle.
The hypnosis Is met with oftenest
in young men from the cities. Fatigue
and the lack of food incident to long
marches, or failure of the provision
trains to reach the men, are the chief
predisposing causes. Fear due to
some very trying experience in battle
or to being held under fire without
orders to move usually precipitate the
outbreak Of the disease
A great number of new mental and
nervous diseases have been produced
by what is known as shell shock, .
that is the effect of the passage or
bursting Of a shell near a man with.

Among the results Of shell shock
noted have been reduction OF vision,

WARS SHADOW OVER PARIS
French Capital Is Feeling the Stress
Much More Than Is British
Metropolis.

Paris still contains a goodly proper
ton Of it's idle American colony, many
Of them useless, too-rich boys, others
to be met with caution, and they are
still to be found with the women
whose business it is to part the fool
from his money at certain cosmopoli-
tan resorts.
A kindly soul asked a friend to din
ner at one of these places. They
dined, wisely if not too we'll, but most
extravagantly extensively. 1t is pos
sible still, as it always has been, to
eat cheaply and admirably in Paris.
1t is also possible to eat dearly and
badly, particularly in places opened
expressly for the tourist trade.
Three or four Paris theaters are
open in the afternoon, finding i'm
mense difficulty in casting the plays
with every actor under forty-five at
the front. The rest are closed, as are
all the music halls except Olympia and
few small places in Montmartre.
The French are astonished when they
are told that business is as usual in
London's places of entertainment, and
when it is explained that in London
only few families have paid the toll
of war, they suggest once more tit is

they are not bearing their full share
of the heavy burden Of the fight.-Ex'

The Eternal Ruo.

Even though it is somewhat early
for apple buds to start, it is not too
early to begin the eternal hunt for
pests that destroy them. The redbug
is a new one. A man can know at an
early date whether or not his apples
are likely to be injured by redbugs by
bringing into the house, any time after
the fist of march, stwigs from bearing
branches, and allowing the buds to
open. II redbug eggs are present,
they will hatch soon after the leaves
appear, and reddish dots, caused by
the feeding punctures Of the insects,
will be seen on the leaves. The in
sects begin feeding Immediately on
the young leaves. They attack the
fruit when it is small. Some Of the
punctured apples mature, but they
are not marketable. The apple red
bugs, being sucking insects, can be
controlled only by contact sprays
done just before the blossoms open,
when the nymphs are small and easily
killed.

INDEPENDENCE ON THE FARM
In Many Ways No More Enjoyable
Employment Is Offered to Those
With Ambition.

Farming is a most profitable EN-.
ployment. No business offers so much
independence. The farmer is his own
master. The thoughtful farmer plans
his own work and informs himself
about the most scientific methods
Farming is work that requires and
cultivates intelligence. The day is
past when a youth untitled for any
thing is thought good enough for q
farm. A farmers work is in the
sunshine, the pure air and invigorat-
ing winds. He Is not cooped up among
brick walls with only narrow aper-
lures from which he may get
glimpses of the sky. The farmer of
today can have all the conveniences
enjoyed by the dweller in the city,
and some Injuries unattainable by the
city man. In farming there is wide
scope for ambition. There is oppor-
tunity for a man with bare hands and
empty pockets to begin as laborer
and attain a competence and position
In which he may take a just pride.
Intelligent labor is needed as in any
other business. Wide miles of land
in our country still allure the seeker
for home. Get back to the soil and
gain in strength of body and charac-
ter. When your school days are past,
think of what the farm offers. No
business offers more to the man who
has no special employment than agri-
culture. To get in touch with the old
earth and know the value Of the soil
beneath your feet is to gain in self
respect and feel nearer to Cod

Why sardInes Are Scarce.

Handlers of foreign canned goods,
whose troubles have been legion since
the European war upset normal trade
conditions, are now complaining OF
the frequency with which contractors
abroad break their delivery contracts
This practice, it was said in local job
bling circles yesterday, has obtained

dine shipments. AS Is customary,
firms here contracted with packers in
Norway and other countries for speci
fic quantities of the fish. Foreign gov.
ernments, however, with agents on

ers much higher prices than the con.
tract rates made with Americans, with
the result that the packers in many

houses here. Scarcity Of foreign sar
dimes in this market, together with
advancing prices, are thesresult

FISHING DAYS.

When we are confused and harried

mands, its rebdffs and its bitter disap
pointments, let us turn once more to

AeropIanes In Arctic.

A Norwegian steamship company,
whose boats ply to Russian ports on
the Arctic ocean, has conceived a
novel use for the aeroplane, which 1t
hopes to put into operation next
spring. The route is frequently
blocked by icebergs and ice foes, the
steamers lose much time in searching
for channel and then usually do not
find the best one. The proposal Is to
have an aeroplane on each steamer.
When ice is sighted. the aviator is to
ascend and fly over the ice until he
determines the best channel.-Ameri.
