PEOPLE AND PREPAREDNESS

In one way or another nearly every
body is talking about preparedness
against war. Last evening there was
a debate at the high school on the
subject.
~ The people are divided into many
groups, ranging all the way from
those who advocate the greatest army
and navy in the world down Orthe
man who is so craven and cowardly
he wouldtnot fight a jack rabbit to
save his sbirthright. a:,;v
The warship builders and ammuni-
ton makers are wild for prepared
. ness on gigantic scale. They want
to build ships and make ammunition
and gather in more millions through
the misfortunes Of war and the blood
Of their countrymen. They Sec war

ing down upon us from every. point
of the compass. ,ziu.
: A certain class would have us build
up regular army of half million
men and provide for several millions

invader to come. They happily are
but few in number, and their desires
will not be realized. ss44AA

BAD KILLING NEAR
BRYANTSVILLE.

Aaron Bolar, colored, fired two shots
from pistol into the stomach of Curt
Ambrose. colored, last Saturday night
at White Oak, a negro settlement near
Bryantsville. on the Buena Vista road,
from the effects of which he died about
twelve hours later. his intestines hav-
Ing been perforated thirteen times.
Bolar at once made getaway and has
not as yet been apprehended. From
reports gathered from some of the wit
nesses. the killing was unprovoked and
cold blooded. 1t seems that Bolar had
just returned from Lexington with a
lot Of whlskey and stopped at the house
Of Reynold Meyers. where Ambrose
was also stopping. The latter asked
Bolar for n drink of whiskey, which
seemed to anger him and he replied
that he had no whiskey and Immediate
ly snatched pistol from his hip pocket
and fired two shots with the above re-
suits. Money is being raised to offer a
reward for the arrest of Bolar and he
will probably be apprehended in a few
DAYS.

CAUGHT With The GOODS.

Fred Emerson. better known among
the colored people, as "Potsy". and
Taylor Simpson, Familiarity dubbed as
Snip" were caught with six gallons of
booze in their possession last Monday
night. by Marshall Buck. as they were
returning from Hyattaville, where they
had gone to the express Office and sign
ed for it. They were Immediately TAX
en- before Judge Frisbie. and being I'M
able to give bail were remsnded to Jail
to await their trial this morning. They
were charged with having this whiskey
in their possession for the purpose of
sale. The whiskey was in two cases.
each containing twenty-four pints and
Judge Frisbie ordered Marshal Buck to
take charge of it until the trial.
Much interest is being shown as to
what disposition will be made of the
booze should "Potsy" and Snip" be
found guilty as charged.

In FOR FORGERY.

James Nevieus, Robert Kennedy.
Henry Wearren and George Jennings.
all eolored boys with warrants against
them for forgery. are either in Jail or
have place awaiting them there.
Robert Kennedy and George Jennings
are in Jail, while James and Henry de-
cided to beat it" to some other sea-
port. Robert tells that James asked
him If he didn't want to make some
money and told him he would write a
check for IS. 90 on Mr.. William Simpson
which he could get cashed end pay him
some of it. James tells that Robert
asked him to write the check saying
Mr.. Simpson owed him and he didn't
know it was wrong. The long and
short Of it is, James wrote the check
which Mr.. viii West cashed after
taking out $3.50 for a pair of shoes
Robert claims the other three boys
then held him up and took the money
away from him which they divided be-
tween themselves giving him none.
As soon as Mr.. West found out the
check was cold he hunted up Robert
getting the shoes which leaves him
languishing in Jail without either shoes
or money. a sadder but wiser boy.
This little story has a moral which is.
1.-THE idle boys brain is the devils
workshop" II these boys who loaf on
doorsteps and side walks were forced
to work. by the vagrant law being en-
forced there would not be so much mis-
chief planned. Ten or twelve idle boys
can always be seen on the same door
steps where this forgery was thought
Of and carried out.

ENFORCE VAGRANT Law.

Why not enforce the vagrant law in
Lancaster? Some door-steps on Rich
mond street hold from ten to twelve
idle Migrants from morning until night.
OF course they get hungry. of course
they need money. then Of course they
plan to get it dishonesty which costs
the town something. besides nothing
looks so bad as lot Of idle shiftless
negroes loafng around town. There is
plenty of work for all to have employ
ment and they should get to work or
get out.

Roumanian Queen
An English Woman

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
London, Sept. 9.-One of the many
reasons for rejoicing here at the en-
trance of Roumania into the war on
the side of the allies is the fact that
the Roumanian queen is an English
woman OF great popularity. Before
her marriage to the Hohenzollern
prince who is now King Ferdinand,
Queen Marie was the beautiful and
popular daughter of the late King Ed
wards eldest brother, the late duke
of Edinburgh. She is still regarded
as beautiful, and, indeed, with her hus-
band and two boys and four girls, is
frequently spoken OF as constituting
the best-looking royal family in Eu-
rope, as we'll as the most photo
graphed.
Queen Marie is beloved throughout
her country for her generosity and
constant efforts in behalf OF the poor
She is the leading spirit of the Society
os Goddesses of Roumania, each god.
dess acting as a fairy godmother to
at least one poor child. The queen
has an odd hobby in the collection Of
scent, ! OFT of which she has more
than 5000.
When aboard her fathers flagship
at Malta, Roumania's future queen be-
came a great favorite with officer:
and sailors. She had great love o
helping the ships cook with his duties
On one occasion she fried fifty egg
and slices OF ham and had them dis
tributed among the men as token o
goodwill.

How 10 Judge Z
Woman by Her Hair


There. are always the well-known
and seni-humorous methods, such as
saying brunettes are quick-tempered
But there is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is well
kept to Judge woman's neatness. If
you are one OF the few who try to
make the most of your hair, remem-
Der that it is not advisable to wash
the hair with any cleanser made for
all purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly for
shampooing. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist and dissolving a tea
spoonful in cup of hot water when
your shampoo is all ready. After its
use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. Your hair will be so fluffy that
it will look much heavier than 1t is.
Its lustre and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair

American Lepers
In Japan to Be
Sent to Hawaiians

Correspondence of The Associated Press
Yokahoma, Japan, Aug. 30.-The dis
covery Of about twenty-five American
lepers in different parts of Japan has
become pressing problem for Amer
lean officials and for the American
Association Of Japan, which is under
taking to secure their transportation
to the American leper home in the
Hawaiian islands.
The lepers have made their way
here in recent years with the hope
that they might be healed at the ia
nous Japanese hot springs, especially
those at Kusatsu, which is always
crowded with Japanese lepers taking
the waters. Gradually they have drift
ed to missionary leper hospitals or
have in other ways become burdens
on the community. In view Of the
excellent asylum at Hawaii the Amer
lean association is taking active steps
to secure their removal.
Leprosy is one of the great ques-
lions seeking solution. by modern
Japan. 1t is estimated that the lepers
of the empire number about $4,000
Five governmental leper asylums were
established in 1907, but they accom-
modate only a few thousand. The re-
mainder are scattered over the coun-
try, desperately seeking cure in the
hot springs or publicly begging in the
market-place or before the temples.
At the last session of the Diet the
japanese Leprosy Prevention society
petitioned for the establishment of q
national leprosarium on some island il
the Pacific ocean. The cost of the
asylum was estimated at $8,000,000
and its maintenance at $250000 year
1t is believed that at least one-third O
the lepers could be housed and treated
at once and it was contended by thu
petitioners that Japan could be cleared
of lepers in the course of ten years.

LOST STATUETTE
FOUND AT LAST
Pompadour Blue, Highly Priced
in France, Finds Its Way
Back to Sevres Factory.
CONSIDERED WORK OF ART

Correspondence OF the Associated Press}
Paris, Sept. 9.-The national porce-
lain factory at Sevres has just recov-
cred dainty statuette which it prizes
more than any Of the famous works
of the establishment, for it is the orig
inal figure OF Madame de Pompadour
which the Sevres factory made and
presented to her over $50 years ago
in gratitude for her founding the in
stitution.
Madame de Pompadour's name i,
chiefly linked with the gay life of
Louis XIV. But the famous beauty not
only We'd with Madame du Barry in
the gay world, but she also exercised
much influence in the serious affairs
OF state. One OF the most notable OF
these works was the creation Of the
Sevres porcelain factory, which is a
national institution with an output OF
fine ceramics famous the world over
1t was Madame de Pompadour who
was the first patron of the institution,
and to this day "Pompadour blue
designates some of the most delicate
pieces Of old Sevres lare.
"And that is why" said M. ,Bour-
geois, administrator OF Sevres, that
we prize SO highly this statuette Of
Madame de Pompadour which has
been recovered after being lost these
many years"
The administrator pointed out the
statuette, which was carefully guarded
in a glass case. II showed the fav'
orite Of Louis XIV, CARRIED as shep'
herdess and leaning against an urn il
the gardens Of Versailles. Very
thoughtfully another statuette o.
Louis XIV had been placed alongside
the recovered relic, so that as just as
in the old days Of reality at Seyre:
Louis and Pompadour were here
united again in the same place.
Moulds Are Destroyed.

Carrier Pigeons
In War Service

Correspondents Of the Associated Press. J
Behind the Somme Front, Sept. 9.
Scattered along the German lines in
France, but several miles to the rear,
are a succession OF carrier pigeon
stations which form an effective link
in the German scheme Of defense, and
in times Of extreme stress can become
well nigh invaluable. Especially is
this the case when all other means OF
communication from the front
trenches with the rear are destroyed.
In the trenches are kept cages Of
trained pigeons. The birds are kept
constantly in practice so that in times
Of emergency they will go without fail
to some station to give word of dis
aster that might have been telephoned
had not the telephone connection been
shot away or otherwise destroyed.
The messages are written on tiny
pieces Of paper, enclosed in thimble-
like aluminium containers which are
attached to the leg OF the bird, and
the filters are realised. II longer mes
sages must be sent, or maps have to
be transmitted, these are enclosed in
a large containcr which is attached to
sort Of harness that can be put over
the birds head and fitted tight to its
body.
