Junk In Europe

Has anyone thought of tn inagni-
tude of the junk business in Europe
after the war? There have been
squibs and comic drawing about it,
but how much serious considera-
ton has it received?
Last year in these United States
of America 100000 was paid
for scrap iron. This is a big and
wasteful country, but it cannot be
using up metal at more than a
fraction of the rate prevailing in
the war zone. Thousands of tons of
iron, not to mention copper, brass
lead, have been shot away at each
of many narrow strips of the battle
line. The topsoil in the salient of
Ypres, on the line north of Arras,
on the Somme front, and above all
a. Verdun must be so saturated
with metal as to be sort of arti-
fetal ore. Surely. in the bitter
poverty which will be Europe's
portion when she is through with
war lords, that resource will not be
forgotten.
For that matter it may be that
Europe's workers will turn thrones
and crowns into Scrap" too

STAGE SALARIES NOT HIGH
Annual Income of Good Japanese Ac-
tor Estimated at $500, Out OF
Which He Payc for Costumes.

According to the author Of an Inter.
esting work on the Japanese stage the
profession of an actor in Japan is not
considered a high one. when a play
is staged" he writes, at runs at least
% consecutive days. For such term
a first-class man would earn about
$3.50 and his annual income may be
estimated at $500. But 1t must not
be forgotten that out Of this sum he
must provide his own costumes, which
are very expensive.
"The curtain does not rise, as In
Europe and America, but is pulled
sideways and one can easily see the
attendants who are intrusted with
this work. The orchestra Is hidden
behind the scenery, while in a sort
of proscenium box the reciter sits con-
cealed behind a curtain of thin bam-
boo. There is no applause by clap
ping hands as In our theaters, but the
public stimulates the actors by ex-
clamation, in a way that may be cor%
pared to the encouraging and cheer
ing of the dancers in Spain. From
the greenroom a bridge leads to the
platform. This bridge is called Flow
erpath. The greenroom Is closed by
drapery, which the actors must lift
for themselves. When the perform
ers have some importance and reputa-
ton they have an attendant for the
purpose of lifting this drapery :.
But the first actors have the title taiya,
which confers the right to two assist
ants to hold up the curtain of the
greenroom for their entries and exits

Some Hike

Washington, Aug. 17.-What is
believed to have been one of the
longest tropical hikes ever made by
American troops thrown on their
own recources in a hostile country,
was the hike made by the Eighth
Company, Fourth Regiment of
United States Marines, when it
covered in day and a night, on
July End and 3rd, the Ill kilo-
meters between Monte Christi and
Santiago, Santo Domingo, after
fight ng most of the day. 1t is
eventy-six American miles between
these two points and the hike was
he third longest ever made by the
United States Marine Corps, under
any circumstances that approached
warfare.
With handful of U. S. Marines,
Colonel Pendleton maintained un-
br ken, an eighty mile line of COM
muu;cation, and the quick settling
of the Dominican trouble is prob
ably due. in the opinion of Marine
Corps officials, to the rapid hiking
of the Marines to the interior of the
country. The natives have been
disarmed and there is no further
fighting.
The expeditionary force, under
Colonel Pendleton of the Marine
Corps, consisted of two regiments
of Marines.

Virginia Preparing
Checks For Pensions

Richmond, Aug. 7.-Checks for
approximately 100000 are being
signed by Auditor Moore for the
payment of pensions in this State
as of September 1st. For several
weeks the clerks in the office have
been making out the checks and
certifying the applications. The
first checks to be made out are
those which are paying the funeral
expenses of such as have died and
reported to the office since Septem-
Der 1st of last year. There are
about 500 of these.
Chief Clerk Johnson said today
that he thought that this would be
about one-half of the number that
had actually passed away during
the year, the relatives of the dead
in many cases preferring to defray
the expenses of the dead to calling
on the State for that purpose. Mr..
Johnson says that the list of pen
sioners will not decrease very much
this year, due to the fact that al
ready some 700 new applicants
have been placed on the lists, and
in cases where old soldiers have
died the widows are making ap-
plication for the pension which was
paid to their husbands.
These checks will be placed in
the mails not later than August 81
so that they will be in the hands of
benefciaries on the morning of
September 1st and the payments
made when the warrants are pre-
sented at any bank in the State.

GOT MAIL THROUGH QUICKLY
Efficient System That Was In Use by
the Romans Some Hundreds
of Years Ago.

While the Roman postal service OF
ancient days was, of course, crude
system, yet the mails were forwarded
with considerable speed. The system
Of couriers on horseback was borrowed
from the Persians, who, according to
Xenophon, had established it under
Cyrus. The Roman adaptation of this
was the best system Of transmitting
letters among the ancients.
All along the great Roman roads sta
lions were erected at distances of five
or six miles from one another. At each
Of these stations 40 horses were con-
stantly maintained, and by the help of
relays it was easy to travel 100 miles
in day.
These services were intended for
the state only, 1t being imperative to
secure the rapid interchange Of official
communications. In the time of Julius
Caesar the system was so we'll organ
lied that Of two letters the great SOL
der wrote from Britain to Cicero at
Rome the one reached it's destination
in 26 and the other in 28 days.
Private citizens were obliged to re-
sort to the services of slaves, and 1t
was not until the end Of the third CEN
fury that there was an establishment
of a postal system for private persons
by the Emperor Diocletian; but how
long this system endured history does
not inform u.
The supply Of horses and their
maintenance was compulsory, and only
the emperor could grant exemption
from 1t,

A Trail of Faith.

A pastor in western Pennsylvania,
who until recently was believer in
the literal answer to prayer, now is,
with some trepidation, taking stock
in his faith. Not long ago a visiting
fellow clergyman prayed fervently in
his pulpit to this effect:
MAY the brother who ministers to
this flock be filled full of fresh veal
and new zigor."
The startled pastor says that he
doesn't object to fresh veal in modera-
ton, but does object to having one
of these new breakfast foods forced
upon him.

Dear Mr.. Editor Il suffered from
lame back and a constant tired,
worn-out feeling. At times I was
unable to stand erect and scarcely
able to get around. 1t would usually
come on at first with crick in small
of my back. I took one box of DR..
Pierce's Anuric Tablets and my back
commenced to get better soon after
starting to take them. I did not
have to walk doubled over as I did
before using the HAnuric." 1t is the
best remedy I have ever taken for
what it is intended to relieve.
I hope those who are in need of
such a remedy will give the " Anuric
Tablets" a trial.
Yours truly,

NOTE: Up to this time, uAnuric"
has not been on sale to the pnblic, but
by the persuasion of many patients and
the increased demand for this wonder
full healing tablet, Doctor Pierce has
finally decided to put it into the drug
stores of this country within immedi-
ate reach of all sufferers.
Simply ask for Doctor Pierce's Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of Anuric" is sure to
be DR.. Pierce's. You will find the
signature on the package just as you
do on DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, the ever-famous friend to ailing
women, and DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, proven by years to be
the greatest general tonic and recon-
structor for any one. .
At any rate don't give up hope OF
being cured of your malady until just
a few doses of wAnuric" have proven
that it will make you feel like a
different person.

and over 5000 prisoners. The victory
was secured by fierce hand-to-hand
fighting.

French gains by both British and
French along the front in northern
France have been made.

British Humor and Ours.

Some Americans think that they do
not like British humor. That Is be-
cause they expect it to be like Amer
lean humor. They might as well dis
like the charming Surrey hills because
they are not like the Rocky noun
tains.
American humor is original, quick
and striking. 1t insists on your atten-
ton like a lively terrier.
British humor is quiet and conf
dent. 1t sits and purs by the fire un-
til you come and stroke it. It is an
acquired taste, but 1t Is worth &C
quiring.

An absolutely new type of gun. the
invention of an American citizen, and
sponsored by Mrs. Kathryn M. Stan
ton Of Whitestone, L. l., is to be tried
out by the United States government
at Fort Hancock. The new weapon
is operated without powder; it is
noiseless as we'll as smokeless, and
hurls missiles with deadly aim, the
missiles may be anything from an egg
to a lump of dynamite. There is no
barrel, and the gun can be operated
by an unframed man or woman. 1t
is simple of construction and all of it's
parts can be made at any machine
shop with a cost Of less than one
tenth of the price of a weapon using
explosives. Mrs Stanton is an ardent
preparedness advocate and she soon
became interested in the gun after the
workings had been explained to her.
She financed the building of a model
and personally superintendent the max
ing Of the gun. The weapon was tried
out at Sandy Hook and the officers
who were present all acclaimed the
gun as the weapon of future warfare.
1t is a purely mechanical device and
can be operated by any sort OF mo-
tor, including handpower.

thing from cooking for harvest hands

practice is doing housework for fac

financial aid works for a professors
family while she is in school and
spends her vacations helping the farm
ers' wives cook for harvesters.
The women who can do good steno-
graphic work are in great demand by
the professors. Women also do great
deal Of typewriting for other students.
A few furnish themselves with little
pocket money by playing the piano for
gymnasium classes. Another solved the
problem of making money last vaca-
ton by making pennants for the Santa
Fe railroad. Two roommates who
wanted to decorate their rooms but
lacked the funds have been giving a
little white dog bath once a week,
netting them So month.
