MR.. FISHER TALKS ON
SOCIAL EFFICIENCY

Poverty may be no crime. but, when
people are so educated that they do
not have to be poor it is at least i'm
moral" asserted City Superintendent
E. c. Fisher in an address upon the
subject, Social Efficiency" before the
assembled student body of Rock Island
high school yesterday afternoon. IF a
man can make two ears OF corn grow
where one grew before there is no ex-
cuse for his not doing So"
Mr.. Fisher made it clear in his adj
dress that social efficiency was the de-
mand in these times and that people
were learning to use labor and time
saving devices as never before. Thus
his special plea to the high school
students was that they use their edu-

cause bills in the national legislative

new NOSE EACH FIVE YEARS
Mexican Has Silver One That Has to
Be Replaced at Regular
Intervals.

St. Louis.-Does your nose ever
wear out and have to be replaced?
Here's a man, Aurilius Rice, Next
can, who has to have a new nose every
five years. 1t is a silver nose, and not
quite so hard to replace. Rico has
had a silver nose for II years, having
had to replace it twice during that
time.
Seventeen years ago. while resid-
ing in Mexico City, Rico developed a
very rare skin disease, and it became
necessary to remove his nose. Three
operations of skin grating were tried.
Rico carried his arm bound to his face
for "a days at one time. Next four at
tempts were made to give him a plas-
tic nose, and finally paraffin was
poured into the cavity in an effort to
make a bump there that would serve
as a nose.
At last Rico hit upon the idea of a
silver nose and purchased one. Being
an artist, he found it simple to tint
the nose with flesh coloring so that it
can hardly be detected by one not "in
on the knows" 1t is held in place by
spectacles.

camps this summer under the direc-
ton Of the war department at their
own expense, showing they are so
much in favor of preparedness that
they are willing to make great per-

various camps covers a period Of about
a month.
To most of them it means they will
have to give up vacations which might
be spent at a mountain or seashore
resort and put in four weeks at hard,
intensive work studying military
science instead of loafing and getting
a rest. None of the military camps
will be place for man looking for

Two Camps for Juniors.
One of the camps at Plattsburg
will be for juniors, youths from eight
cen to twenty-one. But the demand
for admittance to the junior camp by
those not yet eighteen has been so
great that a subjunior camp Is to be
opened for those between fifteen and
eighteen years.
This camp is a subdivision Of the
Plattsburg camps and will be run on
exactly similar lines under the super
vision Of regular army officers. 1t is
to be held at Fort Terry, on Plum
island, near Greenport, Long Island,
which is a government coast artillery
post. Here an opportunity will be
given to learn the workings Of the
heavy coast artillery, an opportunity
obviously not available at Plattsburg.
Although this Fort Terry camp is
a recent development, already enroll
ments have been received from the
following high schools: Montclair.
Glen Ridge, New Rochelle, Yonkers,
Englewood, Erasmus, Manual Train
ing, Regis, Hartford, Dalton, Hughes,
and Mount Vernon and from such pri.
vate schools as Lawrenceville. Vir-
! ginia Military academy, st. Paul's,
Andover. Newark academy, Polytech.
mic and Worcester academy. Apart
from the military work there will be
plenty of time at Fort Terry for recrea-
ton, and the facilities for baseball
swimming and other sports are excel
lent.
Expense to Juniors.
The expense at the junior and sub
junior camps, exclusive of transpor
tation and the uniform, will be $3.50
This sum covers board, camp expenses
and ammunition. The government
loans tents, cots, pillows, mattresses
pouches, sweaters and ordnance as al
the senior camps. About 1000 boys
are expected to be at Fort Terry. The
course will extend from July 6 to Au
gust 10.
