HERMlT'S FARE COSTS LITTLE
Reputed "Holy Man" Of Japan Sub
sists on Laurel Leaves and a Few
Raw Potatoes Daily.

A hermit who has set up his private
shrine by the wayside calls himself
the incarnation of Fudosama, the god
of fire. This mysterious man makes
his abode in II little coop near the
botanical gardens, paying Il monthly
rental of 1925. On the plaster just
below the paper window is written:
THE worshiping place of the wood
eating hermit"
Day and night one can see the flare
of fire ON the paper window and a low
voice can be heard, says the East and
West News. Every passer feels a
queer sensation as he goes by. The
visitor knocked at the dismal-loOking
entrance. The one who came to nm
swer was the mysterious man. He
looked to be about ffty-five and in his
brawny and reflective features he
showed n magnetic smile.
1t seems he began his pious life by
ScOrching his body with Il lighted
candle to save the life Of his sick
child. He tasted 21 days and prac-
ticed water meditation. The child re-
covered. His faith grew stronger. For
80 years past he has touched no rice
or other cereal. Before the visitor he
chewed some laurel leaves. Fifty of
these, five raw potatoes, Il little salt
and water, were his daily fare. He is
said to effect miraculous cures.

IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German idea That Makes Their
Trenches only a Little Way From
Being ~lmpreanable.

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
MOrlne describes Il very clever Inn
provement the Germans have made in
their barbed-wlre defenses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found a better support for them. lie
writes:
after we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work to remodel
it, shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
job was done In "A wonderfully short
time, thanks to German thoruughness.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, three-quarters Of an inch
thick, twisted five times in the shape
Of a great corkscrew. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like II cork
puller into n cork. The straight part
Of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops in n
height of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
sOlidly secured with short lengths of
tying wire.
First cutting the tying wire, we lift
ed the barbed wire out of the eyes,
showed n small stick through one, and,
turning the rod with the leverage of
the stick, usncrewed it out of the
ground. and then. reversing the proc
ess, screwed It In again. The advan-
tnge of this rod is obvious. When Il
shell falls In the midst of this wire
protection, the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken off short they
always support the wire, and even
after n severe bombardment present Il
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
smithereens by the shells. and when
broken off they let the wire fall fiat
to the ground"

RED CROSS WORK

To the Arizona Republican:
 Last Saturday, while distributing the receptacle for the Rcd Cross funds for which the Daughters of the American Revolution of Phoenix are especially campaigning this week was asked why our government could not step in and dc this work The gentleman who asked me this ques- ti1n was so courteous in his inquiry and in his earnestness, prefacing his remarks by the statement that he was wholly and entirely in sympathy with the Red Cross and it's work. that the more I have since thought of our short conversation, the more it has interested me. ard I feel that my re- ply was anything hut Illuminating. as I was some days newer in the work than I am today, and I feel that it may be question that many moro are asking themselves
 Briefly, I should like 10 say that the Red Cross while an international organization, is in reality a part of our government unhampered by the legislative machinery, which seems to worl, SO slowly. The president of the United States is the chief of thu American Rcd Cross organization, as each governor of each state is the chief in his state. Congress has pass cd 9 law protecting the badge so that like the American flag, it can not bc used for advertising purposes and never for any purpose without aut hc rit%.
 The Red Cross is absolutely neu- tral politically and religously and maintains depots of supplies SO dis | tributed that no catastrophe can oc- cur that it is not in a position to put | the wheels of relief at work at once l No calamity threatens, sucii as war. that the Red Cross does not take [ cognizance of it and prepare. hence 1 it's almost perfect grade of efficiency Many persons confuse the work of the Red Cross with wars. While it is true that the Red Cross is more in evidence during war times. the care ful scrutiny cf the records of relief
 wcrk. such as that of the San Fran cisco disaster. will reveal the Red Cross organization.
 Thanking you for the space, I am very truly,
