Ancient Corn Mills,

These peculiar rock formations are
hand made--the most ancient OF grist
mills for grinding American corn.
They have been used by the Navajo
Indians of Arizona from time imme-
mortal up to within a comparatively
few years. There are 35 to 40 of them
in the group, the lava rock in which
they have been cut being especially
favorable for grinding purposes.
The Navajos, unlike their more war
like neighbors, the Apaches. have been
for the past 200 years a pastoral and
industrial race of Indians, cultivating
large acreages of grain and an entire
tribe was wont to repair to these NOR
tars near Sulphur Springs, where the
squaws would spend several days max
ing meal. Some of the old hangers
on at Sulphur Springs say that years
ago there were many pestles or grind
ing stones lying around the mill"
but these have all been taken away
by travellers as curiosities.

Why Onion Cures Cold.

To eat a raw onion is an old rem
edy for curing a cold, and many have
found that it works well in practice.
But why the onion should possess this
curative property few have taken the
time to ascertain; in fact, not one in
a hundred can give the exact reason
or reasons. Some may say that the
smell drives the cold away, but that
is frivolous
There is an oil found in the onion
chives, radish and horseradish that
plays an important part in curing the
cold. This oil and the sulphur which
is also contained in these plants have
a deadly effect upon the harmful
germs that flourish in various parts
Of the body and are the chief cause of
the common cold.

 LONG ABSENCE
 IS MYSTERIOUS
Local Militiamen Exercised at Unaccountable Disap

HAS MANY ADMIRERS
 IN STATE MILITIA
Missing Lieutenant Was Tn spector of Bridgeporters
 During Encampment

William H. Weggenrnan, seco,ad lieutenant, Twelfth company, c, A.. c. U. s. A. is still missing from his post at Fort H. G. Wright, Fishers Island, N. 5Y.. and although a general search for him through army and the east has been underway for sew eral days, no trace as to his where abouts has been found. <, Lieut.. Wegz gennan was custodian of the post exchange at Fort Wright and had $3,400 of the funds of the post under his charge This money is believed to be on deposit in New London banks but as yet the bankbooks have not been found.
 Lieut.. Weggerman was widely known to the officers end men of the Bridgeport Coast Artillery bat 5talion The two mortar companies of the Connecticut corps are the Fourth and Eleventh, both Bridgeport organizations. Lieut.. Weggenman was the eTnplacement instructing of fcer during the past two summer en- | campmerts. He was a favorite with both officers and men and much sym patty is expressed for him.
 Lieut.. Weggenman obtained leave of absence for four days on Feb. If and he immediately left the post, presumably a trip to visit his pa rents at Wilmington Del Capt. John H.. l Wright, said today that no word had yet been. received from the missing officer although he had already over stayed his leave eight days. Capt. Terrell admitted that a. search for the missing, officer was being tnsti- tuted through all eastern army posts, hospitals, etc, but as yet no police alarm has been sent out for him.
 Lieut. Weggenman in addition to his other duties was prison officer at Fort Wright and some men who had committed serious breaches Of discipline have been under his charge.
 His brother officers have three the ories as to the cause of his disap- l pearance One is that he has met with foul play at the hands of some ma1efactor who has been under his charge. Another is that he has been l way1aid and robbed of the post ex- change money of which it was known he carried large sums for deposit in New London banks. A third theory is that while suffering from mental alteration he has wandered off.
 Weggenman's army record is a most excellent one and although but in the service three years he was already in line for promotion to a first Heuten- 1 ancy.
 Lieut. Weggenman was born Oct. l 10, 188O and was graduated from Delaware college, Newark, Del. in 1910, with degree of B. s. He was commissioned Jan 22, 1912. About two years ago he was married to Miss Virginia LaForge a, civil en- gineer stationed at Fishers Island. Miss Mildred IaForge was recently married to Capt. Claudtus Seaman. I formerly stationed at Fort Wright, but lately transferred.
 His wife was a former resident of Waterbury. Both Lieut.. Weggen- mans parents are wealthy. His wife's parents are wealthy also, and therefore his friends scout the idea that he was in financial difficulties or short in his accounts.

EMPIRE

The Country Boy' a four part adaptation of Edgar Selwyn's most successful play of the same name will be shown today for the last time in conjunction with number of other first class entertaining sub jects, at Keeney's Empire theatre be offered Monday and Tuesday will be David Harun'' a five part Fam ous-Players Paramount feature which can truly be classed as 9 mas terpiece.
 William H. Crane makes his first appearance in motion pictures in the title role in this production. Crane enaets the screen portrayal with all the art and dramatic power that so distinguished it on the speaking g stage. There are moments in the play when the sheer beauty of the emotions displayed are overpowering with that great effectiveness that comes only of simplicity and truth.
 MT. Crane repeats and even sur passes the charm of his original char acteEization of David Harum. The genial humor and sunny atmosphere that pervade the drama are in sharp contrast with the exciting counter feiter's plot that provides the more intense element of the play. On Wednesday the latest install ment of the greatest of all serial films, The Master Key featuring Ella Hall and Robert Leonard will be shown, together with the regular select program.

PLAZA

''The Halloween Party musical comedy in condensed form with a cast of nine clever young people is holding the headline position on the Plaza s vaudeville program for the latter half of the week and receiving an en- thusiastic reception at every presenta- tion- The act is full of life and color, is handsomely costumed and staged with a wealth of special scenic effects that add greatly to the attractiveness of the piece. A chorus of pretty and shapeIy girls go through a, series of pleasing dance numbers and aid in putting over a well selected repertoire of song hits.
 Without question the cIeverest co1- ored entertainers to appear in Bridge port this season are Davis & Walker who title their little offering GA Les son in Dancing" though the singing of the female member of the act comes in for some special credit, as well as the very difficult and exceedingly pleasing exhibition of soft-shoe dancing offer ed by the male member of the duo.

 The Bo1ger Brothers are doing their share toward making the bill most gratifying one from every viewpoint in tastily arranged banjo offering that is far superior to anything of it's kind before presented locally.

POLES

As
 Stuart & Donahue, who occupy a prominent spot in the current bill at Polls, are presenting what critics and patrons agree is the finest variety act of it's kind ever seen here. MT. Stuart is a wonderful eccentric danc- CT, and his partner, Miss Stuart, is a, very versatile comedienne. The dance numbers of Mr. Stuart are a revelation and repeated encores are his lot at every performance.
 This evening affords the last op- portunity to see this dainty offering as well as the other big features of boys anad girls, presenting a, pleasing song revue, continue to be big fa- vorites, and Edna Luby and company, offering a Iudicrous sketch, The Crucial Moment are a hit of the program.
 Fields Brothers, formerly with Primrose and Dockstader,s are most pleasing in their dances, and Bowers and Saunders, two very pretty misses, present a song repertoire of merit in a happy way. Soretti and Antoinette, in a European pantomiIne novelty that is very funny, complete the vaudeville bill.
 The feature photop1ay is s'Children of the Ghetto,', a five part Limitation of Israel Zangwil1's great play. Fea- tured in the cast for this production is Wilton Lackaye, the eminent dra- matic star, and healis ably support ed by a. big companly. The picture is of gripping interest throughout
