should be mentioned and many whose good
work should be singled out will find their
names grouped with lot of others.
A lone cop John J. Frazer, while patrol
ling his beat in the Borough Of Queens one
day in January, 1912, conceived the idea OF
forming an organization made up of men who,
irrespective OF rank in the Police Department,
had been awarded honorable mention with
medal or honorable mention with commenda-
ton by the Police Commissioner. Acts OF
vaor performed at risk of life or meritorous
acts at personal risk have been recognized and
honored by the City of New York.
Men whose deeds thus recognized forming
an organization which places all men on an
equal footing, irrespective of what jobs they
may hold in the department, is in itself I'M
usual. A unique example of heroism reducing
all to one level No benefits are offered save
that which comes from the feeling Of pride
in being part of society which carries with
it so much to the honor of those who qualify
for membership therein. From thirty-seven
charter members the Honor Legion has grown
in strength and now represents nearly 100
policemen, all proven heroes, by departmental

Another good example of excellent work Is that
which took place when Daniel +. Stack interrupted

OFFICE BOYS SCARCE
Numerous Vacancies Caused By En- listments of Clerks and Office
 Keepers
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

LONDON, Aug. 2S-The much abused office boy has become such a scarce article in the London labor mar ket that advertisements in the help wanted columns now offer wages two to three times those paid for the same class of help a year ago. A stock eX- change firm last week spent $25 in ad- vertisements before they got an appli- cant that suited them, and on no day did they have more than two or three applications in response to their appeal
 A year ago, the ordinary office boy of twelve to fourteen expected to start work at $1.25 to g a week. Now he has little difficulty in obtaining a place at $2.50 to $5. If he is bright he stands an excellent chance of being promoted to place as junior clerk in a few weeks.
 The explanation, of course is the numerous vacancies caused everywhere by the enlistment of clerks and office helpers in the army. Thousands of openings for boys have also been creat- ed by the departure or older men from posts on railways and subways Prac- tically all the platform men" in the London tubes" are now boys of twelve to fifteen. Many of the conductors are little older.

 But when it leads to a division of forces, over r-lapping and conflict in effort and an increase of unneces- sary expense, it is greatly to be dep recated.'

 The Red Cross" he said, "has expended and distributed in men, supplies and paid expert service two million dollars. This was the result of voluntary and solicited cOntrihu- tions for the war, and the overhead charges of the permanent organiza- tion was not permitted to diminish them by one dollar. It is too bad, however, that the dreadful continu- ance of the war has exhausted these funds.

COURSE |NMETALLURGY
 AT UNIVERSITY
Announcement of College Course for Mature Men ill Mining Science - Great nity for Un- trained Men
Special to The Republican,

Special to The Republican, TUCSON, Aug. S.-Announcements and complete details of the short course for miners to be given this next year by the College of Mines and Engineering of the University of Arizona, are being sent out in pamphlet form and those desiring in formation on the University Short Courses should make application at once that their course Tor the next year may be planned.
 The object of the College in offer ing these courses is to assist mature men interested in mining, who have not had the time or perhaps the preliminary training to enter the four year collegiate course in mining and metallurgy.
 These courses offer golden oppor- tunitieS to men who wish to better themselves in their work. The bene- fits to be reaped are such as no one can afford to miss who docs not already possess a thorough tech- Eical training.
 The immense sums of money which are wasted annually in ill-advised mining schemes, foolish crosscut tun- nels, unsuitable machinery, prema turely erected reduction works and ill-suited processes show that more than brute strength and manual skill are needed in the mining in dustry.
 The state offers to assist miners by placing at their disposal the staff and laboratories of the mining, met allurgical, chemical, mechanical, elec- trical and geological departments, giving concentrated and practial in struction in the subjects needed.
 It is throughout practical course, designed for practical men, and it is believed that it offers to prospectors, miners and mining men, an opportunity of which they would do well to avail themselves.

BIG MOVIE AMALGAMATION

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Announcement is made in a Copenhagen dispatch of the amalgamation of two of the greatest moving picture production companies in Germany and Denmark respectively. The capital of the com bined enterprises will be nearly s. 10000. A number of German pro- ducers have already arrived in Co., penhagen to arrange the details of the alliance. The effect may be far reaching as the Danish firm sells its films mostly in England, France and Italy. There is prospect, there fore that German films, produced in Denmark, may be shown during the coming season in London, Paris and Rome. Whether the laws of the bel ligerents can be made to cover this contingency under the head of Trad ing with the enemy" remains to be seen.

ENGLAND BROWNS ON TREATING

How should people save in war time? What form Of expenditure should they cut down?
 In reply to these questions the par liamentary war savings committee, with the help of experts, has drawn up a number of suggestions, which include the following:
 No person should build house to re- side in himself.
 Any presents given should be in the form of war loan bonds or vouchers.
 No motor cars should be used except for official or charitable purposes.
 Entertaining at restaurants should be entirely abandoned.
 Changes of fashions in clothes must be ignored or suppressed.
 Nothing but the most sparse eXpendi- ture on mourning and funerals should be incurred.
 Every servant should be dispensed with, except those necessary for the simplest requirements.
 All treating" should be given up till we can toast a final and complete vic tory "No drinks till we've won" should be the motto-F'rom the London Chron- icle.

LONDON. Aug. 2S.-According to London police officials, war has been responsible for a marked improvement in the appearance of the London street urchin. Never before, it is said, has the average boy on the London streets been so well clad as today
 This is attributed largely to the sep aration allowances received by the wives of soldiers at the front, and also to the fact that most employers have found it necessary to put their boy em- ,ployes into uniform in order to keep them, so great is the popularity of the Uniform, whether military or civil.
