Shave Spoiled His Passport.

One of the most unusual passport
cases which has yet come to the at.
tention of the American embassy at
London arose when a well-dressed
American called to obtain a passport
which had been sent to Washington
some weeks ago to be renewed, but
during the interim the owner of the
passport had been denuded of his
whiskers, which set of whiskers was
still attached to his person when he
sent his photographs to Washington
and he was described in the passport
as bewhiskered.
Asked why he shaved off the whisk
ers, he sheepishly stated that he had
his whiskers shaved once year and
forgot all about the passport regula
tons.

TAKES 20 MEN TO SAVE DOG
Dynamite, Too, Used to Rescue AMI
NAL From Cave Into Which He
Had Fallen.

Newton, N. Ut took 20 men and a
blast of dynamite to free Bob, fox
hound, from a cave near here. The
dog, owned by Robert Washer, got
into the cave through a small crevice
while fox hunting with his master.
Then he couldn't get out.
Washer worked at the mouth of the
cave all afternoon, but couldn't open
the way for the animal to get out. The
next day he tried dynamite, as large
a charge as he dared to use without
endangering the dogs life, but the
blast only loosed some of the stones al
I the mouth of the crevice. The follow
ing day, however, a score of workers
brought crowbars to bear on the rocks
and pried them far enough apart to
free Bob from his three days impris
onment.

DEMAND FOR GLASS IS BIG
Great Britain Orders Supply In This
Country for Use In Barraek
Windows.

Kane, Pa.-For the first time in his
tory practically every window glass
plant in this section will operate
through the summer season. Some of
the plants may be compelled to cease
operations for six or eight weeks for
repairs, but will resume operation as
soon as they are completed.
The great activity Of the window
glass trade is due to the war, the de-
mand for glass for export shipments
being the greatest in history. Much OF
the glass is being shipped to London
where it is being used for temporary
barracks in training camps. Before the
outbreak of the war Great Britain de
pended almost entirely on Germany
and Belgium for glass.

Lieutenant to that of Captain

Captain Scott was for years
one of Denver's e ding

the lynching and burning at
Limon. Colo. by some of the

and is now in Hawaii. He
has been a successful preach
er and has worked hard to
improve the social and phys
