TWO DISTRICTS
SUBSCRIBE 500
FOR FOR ~" FUNDS FUNDS
Flat Refusals to Subscribe to
War Fund Met by One
Captain.

About 500 has been turned in from
the Fourth and Second wards Of this
city toward the local apportionmens
Of 1920 for the national campaign
launched a week ago for the Y. M. G..
A. war fund. The three other dis
tricts Of the city have not been re-
ported as yet but it is expected that
the subscriptions in those communi-
ties will make a material addition to
the sum already collected
It had been planned to close the To-
cal campaign for the fund on SatuF-
day night but the drive was continued
through today and If the quota ap-
portioned to East Grand Forks can
probable that the drive will be con-
:inued for one more day in a strong
effort to bring the local subscriptions
up to the amount expected from the
citizens Of this city.
Much credit for the heavy suhscrip-
ton from the Fourth ward is due to
the organization efforts of Paul john
son and Stephen Zipoy. who are The
captains in that district. Z. Hidden

ward while Louis Hanson and r. =.

ward and Bert Hitler with n. C. john

paign in tho Fourth ward north Of the

tanned the First ward.
The captain of n Of the wards
stated today that when he was can
wasting the district he met many out
and mt fiat rAfusaIs to }slhscrihe 70 ar
aid the fund in any way, However
that is believed to be the latitude Of
very few local citizens and the gem
erous response OF many others will III

Of those who refuse TO aid the good
work.

An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse

II mermaids were no bigger than some fairies,
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
are creatures familiar enough. though most people
have never seen one alive Summer visitors at
the seashore find them for sale-very dead and
dried-at shops that specialize In marine curios.
The sea horse (naturasts say) Is one Of the
most ancient Of fishes. It Is one Of natures
oldest imitatons-a "camouf1age," so to speak.
It has horselike head, and its body is so
shaped as to resemble the neck Of that quadru-
ped. But really, when one comes to examine It,
the thing 1t counterfeits Is the "knight" piece Of
the chessboard
The sea horse has a tubelke snout at the end
Of which are the mouth and Jaws Its head IL
topped by a sort Of coronet Clad in q complete
suit Of armor plates. 1t cannot 1ex its body like
other fishes, and Its inless tail Is of no use for
locomotion. .
1t feeds on small shrimps and other crusta.
ceans. Occasionally. uncoiling its tail from the
supporting plant, 1t swims slowly, not like other
fishes, but always in vertical position its back
I'm vibrating rapidly.
Like other fishes, the sea horse possesses an
air.bladder.. which Is always distended by quan-
tity of gas so exactly adjusted for equilibrium
that, II a single bubble no larger than the head
Of a small pin be extracted, the creature falls to
the bottom and must crawl about until the wound
Is healed and fresh supply of gas has been
secreted. ~
But the most remarkable point about the sen
horse Is that the male is provided with an ex.
ternal stomach pouch. in which, at the mating sea-
son. the female deposits her eggs. The lining
membrane Of the pouch secretes nutritious fluid
on which the young, when Matched, are fed. When
they are big enough TO take care of themselves
the father sea horse rubs his stomach against n
winkle>shell or some other convenient object and
by this means forces them out into the water.

Rome in the days Of Augustus was city OF
more than 100000 persons, and It did not have
single hospital.
The city was built mainly of brick. with narrow,
tortuous streets. But it had some broad and
well-paved thoroughfares the fashionable avenue
being the famous Appian way, which was the
metropolitan terminus, so to speak, Of one Of the
great military roads that radiated from Rome as
a center to all parts Of the empire.
The houses of the rich, and even those Of the
fairly well-to-do, were supplied with running wa
ter. No modern system Of aqueducts surpassed
that Of ancient Rome, and the water was dis
tributed to dwellings by underground pipes that
furnished the fluid through lead pipe connections
to tanks elevated on pillars at regular intervals
along the street. From these tanks lead pipes
carried the water to the houses on either side,
which were provided with faucets and basins like
our houses Of today.
This in itself is very interesting fact, because
even two centuries ago there was no such ade-
quate system Of water supply for cities anywhere
In the civilized world. In respect Of this import
ant item of civilization, the destruction Of Rome
by war put the world back about 1900 years.
When julius Caesar first visited Alexandria in
Egypt, the occasion on which he was captured by
the Greek charms Of Cleopatra, he found there SO
complete an underground water-supply system
that the city seemed 'hollow underneath"
The aqueducts Of ancient Rome substantial
mains of which still exist, supplied numerous
street fountains, at which the people drank, and,
much more important, the enormous bath build
ings, erected and maintained at fabulous expense
by various emperors.
There were no street lamps Soldiers employed
as policemen carried torches through the streets.
1t was method corresponding nearly to that In
use in European cities a couple Of centuries ago.
Stoves were unknown and dwellings were heat
ed with brazlers Of charcoal. Olive oil lamps and
candles of tallow and wax furnished domestic IL
Elimination. House furniture-sofas, chairs bead
steads and what not--much resembled In pattern
what we have today. and for the rich was no less
luxurious.
Grain was ground by watermills and windmils.
Boats on the Tiber carried mill wheels that iwere
driven by the current of the river. Chickens were
Matched by incubators a great scale for market.
Ice obtained from mountain heights was stored
In summer time for winter use.

know that this country is aiding the allied nations
in extermnating so-called "kultur" and in estab-
fishing peace on earth for centuries at least. The
boys will give thanks because they have been
privileged to give their services their money for
Liberty bonds and their lives, If necessary to
bring to close this worst struggle Of all the ages.
At the naval stations elaborate programs have
been prepared. Mrs. William A. Moffett, wife Of
the commandant Of Great Lakes naval training
station, early conceived the idea Of giving big
Thanksgiving dinner to the 10000 boys now train
ing there. Actuated by her splendid mother spirit
Mrs. Moffett confded her wish to some of her
friends.
'Can't we do something to bring home little
closer to the boys for just dayT' Mrs. Moffett
asked. MANY Of the young boys actually need to
pass Thanksgiving In a real home-they have been
separated from their own people so long that their
hearts are calling out for glimpse into home
where there is a mother, father, some noisy
children and home-cooked food"
Mrs. Moffett's idea quickly became popular. A
committee was formed to secure the boys who
were to accept the scores Of invitations from Chi
cagoans and other hospitable people along the
north shore of Lake Michigan who showed de-
sire to entertain the jackies Thanksg, wing day.
Chaplain Charles w. Moore lent his aid in select
ing the boys for the Invitations. More than 1000
young men were granted liberty to visit the homes
where they are guests of honor for real Thanks
