NJ Y Federal Jury IndiCtS
-Four for Fraud,

NEW YORK, Dec. Sit is alleged
the government is the victim of fraud
In connection with supplying the ma
tons fighters with fur hats which al
ready amounts to half million dol
lars
The government awarded a contract
TO Sigmund Eisner to supply it with
hats whose cost would be 100000
The hats were to have been made of
hare and muSkrat fur and were to have
cost $l.D to Sl70 each Instead, it is
said, the parties to the alleged con
spiracy at their factory substituted a
preparation known as blown fur"
which instead Of giving the soldier
good wear for a year, was worthless
after four months
These men were indicted today in
federal court here; William b. Thom,
president of the hat manufacturing
firm Of Thorn and Bayley of this city
and a director OF the PeekSkill Hat
Manufacturing company of Peeksklll, n.
Y. John J. Slattery, second vice pres
dent Of Thorn and Bayley company and
president Of Parmalce and company
hat manufacturers OF Newark, N J.,
Joseph Ives treasurer of the PeekSkill
concern, Edward Slattery, foreman Of
the Parmalee mixing room and Arthur
C. Gilhon and Peter J. Duffy, army
inspectors. Thorn and John J. Slattery,
were released on bonds of $1,000 each,
Ives on a bond of $500 and Edward
Slauery on bail OF $1,000 Gilhon and
Duffy have not yet been arrested,
These proceedings will probably hold
up completion OF the balance OF the
army hat contract, said to amount now

The Bachelor Girl
cleveland News)

An 'idealist" is a man who is content to
worship a woman from ~afar--and let some
gross, unselfish snaterialist marry her and
support her.
After a man marries all his bachelor
friends suddenly begin to feel exactly
like the northern neutrals.
Never try to kill a mans love for you;
Just try to shatter his love for himself and
his love for you will die automatically.
When a man chooses to use a woman's
elusive and complex methods in the love
there is no chance for any woman
on earth to win against him.
According to the pacifists and radicals,
this country appears to be just a place to
which one m in order to get a better
perspective from which to admire the coun.
try he left behind.
Some men love their wives POLITICALLY,
some rapturously, some tenderly, some com.
fortably, some d~utifully some intermit-
tently.
You may interest a man with your charm
ing conversation-but to charm him there
is nothing like an interesting dead silence.

WHAT LODGE BROTHER WAS THIS?

A Kansas City man who is very active in
the affairs of his lodge was spending the
weekend at Excelsior Springs, a nearby

quaintance with a striking looking woman

The next weekend the friend again went
to the springs. On one Of the prominent
promenades he saw the lodge member and
the striking looking woman they had adj
mired walking arm in arm and apparently
much taken up with each other. At the first
chance he asked his friend for an explana-
tion.

Against 1t

1t is a noteworthy fact that hard drinking
men are almost invariably ready to vote for
prohibition. And when you tome to think
of it, it is quite natural. 1t is the moder-
ate drinker who can use it or leave it
alone" who cries for personal liberty not to
leave it alone. Every man who has given the
booze game the thorough test is against it.
One of the most hopeful signs in New
Mexico, however, is that saloon keepers,
those engaged in the business, want to get
out Of it. Nothing more encouraging could
have happened than to have those San Mi
guel county saloonists appear on the same
platform with the governor and advocate
prohibition, because they wanted to get cut
of the traffic and knew 1t was a menace
to the welfare of their people.

IT would seem that nothing remained to
say regarding the efficiency of the Boy
Scout movement in Santa Fe. 1t hardly
seems possible that Scouts have made such
a record as Santa FEES in any other COM
