Train Robbers Sentenced

With the passing of sentence Fri day morning at Tucson on Joe Davis and Jeff Spurlock for the Apache train robbery to twenty-five years each in the federal penitentiary at McNeill's Island, Washington, one of the most sensational court trials which has taken place in this state for several years came to a close.
 The trial was commenced on Mon day, Feb. IS, and lasted until Satur- day night, Feb. 26, when verdict of guilty was returned by the jury. Dur ing the entire week the court room was packed and the interest in the trial remained at high tension during the entire proceedings.

zUN| INDIANS WEIRD CEREMONY
 'CALLED "STICKSWALLOW|NG DANCE'

The stick-swallowing dance of the Zuni Indians will be held this week on the Zuni reservation near the village of Zuni.
 This is one of the most interesting and weird ceremonies of these Indians and is held every year at this time.
 The dance begins at noon and lasts we'll into the night, continuing until after all members of the clan go through the dance and swallow the stick.
 The dance is held by a clan or fraternity known as the Chicken hawks" and it is a sight we'll worth seeing.
 To the music of large bones rubbed on a notched stick the dancers come in and go through dance somewhat similar to other Indian dances. At a certain point in the dance the Indians raise over their heads the sticks which they carry, and pass them down thelr throats to the depth of eighteen inch es, after which they are slowly with drawn. This is done while the danc- CTS are in full step of the dance, which is considerably more jerky than any of the American steps.
 Every four years they swallow pine trees, and this was the year. Small pine trees five and six feet high are shaved down at their butts into thin strip of wood one and one-half inches wide. This portion of the tree is forced down the throats of the danc- CTS while they balance the rest of the evergreen tree bearing its usual need les over their open mouths.
 Women Take Part
 There were four woman dancers

who did the swallowing act this year, and about sixty men went through the ordeal, which is part of their religion. No bad results followed the dance, though some eight years ago young Zuni girl lost her voice from doing the stunt and later died. Many Americans think her death was due to her exertions at the dance, but this is stoutly denied by the Zunis.
 Repair Campo Santo
 The Zuni are at work fixing up their Campo Santo or cemetery, about two hundred Indians being busy on the job. The cemetery stands in front of the old Cathedral.
 They have hauled in four feet of fresh dirt and have spread this over the graves of the hundreds of Zunis which have been buried at this place since the early part of the seven- teenth century, when the church was erected by Franciscan Fathers.
 Heretofore in burying the bodies of their members they have often come in contact with skeletons of Zu- his of former ages and it was said that it was almost impossible to find a spot to dig a fresh grave without digigng into an already occupied spot. Now tn oyeycome that they are at work with many teams and scrapers covering the old graves with fresh layer of dirt, so there may be room for another layer of bodies.
 The old graveyard is to have a massive stone wall around it at once and they talk of repairing the old church the coming year. They are realizing that Zuni is the only Indian Pueblo in which the church has been allowed to fall into ruin and disuse.

OVER FORTY PER CENT OF
 UNITED STATES MAPPED

Beginning nearly forty years ago to construct accurate topographic and geological maps of both the known and the unexplored regions of the United States, the Geological Survey has steadily progressed with this part of its work until topographic maps of 40 per cent of the country are now published, besides maps for large areas in Alaska and Hawaii. Extens- i've areas have also been covered by geologic maps, and all the work from the beginning of the field survey to the printing of the finished map is done by this government bureau. Other activities of the Survey are the classification of public lands, the an- nual collection of mineral statistics of the United States, and investigations of the Nations water resources; all involving the publication of scientific and technical reports containing over 10000 pages annually!
 During the last 30 years over $15-, OOO,OOO has been spent by the Geolog- ical Survey in geologic and topo- graphic surveys in the United States. Last years expenditure was nearly $500, 900, not to mention the cost of engraving the copper plates and printing the maps in from to 20 colors.
 Map of the World
 Part of the Geological Surveys mapping comes under a plan for an international map-a map of the world on the scale of 1:1, ,000, ,000-the American portion of which shall be uniform in scale and symbols with those representing areas on the other continents. The special map produc- ton under this plan is being supple mented by the issuance of State maps on the same scale, which is about 16 miles to the inch, and also on a scale twice as large. All these topographic maps are sold to the public at slight increase over the cost of paper and printing, the nominal price charged taking no account of the heavy initial expenses of field surveys or the ex- pense of engraving the copper plates and preparing for color printing.
 Nearly Five Million Maps in Stock
 The Geological Survey thus keeps in stock for sale some 4,600,0 900 copies of 2,500 different maps. These topo- graphic maps show with great accu- racy all the natural features of the country and man-built structures. Perhaps their most notable feature is the countour lines, which are graphic representations of the land surface mountains, slopes, valleys, depressions every inequality which the eye ob- serves on the ground. Each map is, among other things, a real dictionary of attitudes of the area it covers. The price of the standard topographic map is 10 cents, although the field survey of the area represented may have cost $5,000 or s6,000.
 State Index Maps to be Had Free
 The Geological Survey has indexed maps for each state. Topographic surveys have been made in every state, and it is likely that there is a | map including your own home. Send for this index, which is free, and this will show you whether there is map | or geologic folio of your own region. The standard topographic map (not the index) is 10 cents copy, and the geologic folio 25 cents. A discount | of 40 per cent is given on orders amounting to $5 at the retail price.

GOVERNMENT WILL BUILD
 NATIONAL LETTERS HOME

At Tremeloo, Belgium, 75 years ago, Joseph DeVeuster, better known as Father Damien, was born. He was educated for a business career, but when he was eighteen years old he entered holy orders, and fifteen years later, in October 1883, went to Hono- lulu as missionary in the stead of his brother. In 1864 he was ordained priest, and during the nine years that followed he was frequently struck in his parochial work with the pitiful condition of the Hawaiian lepers. In 1878, he volunteered to take up his residence on the Island of Molokai, to which at that time all lepers were de- ported, and there he remained until his death on April IS, 1889. He gave evidence in 1885 of having contracted leprosy from the unfortunates com mitted to his care, but he continued his labors.
 Leprosy is a contagious, infectious disease, which is believed to be direct ly communicable from one person to another person. It is believed to be caused by a microscopic vegetable parasite shaped somewhat like small curved stick. This bacillus was dis covered by Hansen in 1874. In man the disease appears in several differ ent forms, attacking almost any organ in the body, destroying any or all of the senses, and finally producing death. There is disease among rats which closely stimulates human lep- rosy, and the bacillus which causes it resembles that found in human lep- rosy.
 It is not definitely known just. how the leprosy bacillus enters the body. It may be through wounds of the skin or the lining membrane of the nose and throat, and possibly it may be taken into the body with food. It is pretty definitely proven that no par ecuilar article of diet, such as fish, causes the disease. It has been thought that some insect may act as the agent which transfers the germs from sick people to we'll people. This is not proven.
 Whatever the exact mechanism in the transferenoe of the leprosy bacil- Jus, practical evidence shows that the disease is spread mainly by direct contact, and is most prevalent where people are dirty and overcrowded. There is no evidence that leprosy is hereditary.
 Practical experience has shown that segregation is the only practicable means of controlling the disease. A bill appropriating $250,0O0 for the purpose of establishing a national home for lepers passed the House of on May 4, 1916, and was passed by the Senate on January 25, 1917. This provides a national in- stitution for the care and treatment of the unfortunates afflicted with this gruesome disease and solves the prob lem of preventing its spread in the United States.

the exit, was made and nobody the
wiser, except that the shoemaker
who is now getting the highest price
of his life for half-soling saw
two boys emerging and getting away
with their plumber as he was just
getting into his coop for an early
start towards his second million since
the war started and prices went
soaring.
And thus we are forced to chronicle
1.-The unhappy tidings, grievous as they
are, and as sad commentary as they
make of the high-speed, hlgh-efficl-
ency always -the-job Fort Lee
Police Department. OF course, the
people have begged for adequate
police protection, and the Sentinel
has boldly stopped the depredations
by asserting recently that every
thing is being done, that Palisade and
the rest of the borough is no safe
place for them" Yet when the
facts are really divulged, sad as is
the commentary, and also the admis-
sion, a robber-man is safer here than
any other spot on earth. They did
not get great deal out of the Stabel
and Wolpert stores this haul, but
what they were after was to prove
that they could play tag or football
with the police and get away with it
at any or all hours. just few pieces
of not too heavy hardware from
StabePs and a lot of camera material
from 'Wolpert's were the sum total
f,senps the lift, all fold not up to an
even hundred bones. And the only
thing to be objected to is the faci
that this thing of trifiing with the
police has now gone too far. 1t must
stop. Mass meetings won't stop It,
and the police can't. AS the matte
now stands, the police are to be look
ed upon with the same sort of pity
that actuated the Irishman who is
told of in the paraphrase on "The
Charge of the Light Brigade"-
''There were ROBBERS to the right
of him, robbers to left of him, rob-
bers in front and all behind him
now, what the divil could he do?"

America United And

The National Security League, 81
Pine street, New York City, having
over 100000 members in all parts of
the United States, and with an ex-
ecutive committee of governors and
ex-governors of states, former
cabinet ministers and citizens of ma
tional and international renown, are
sending out formal invitations, one of
which was received by Chas. H. H.
German, of Ridgefield Park, reads
as follows:
"The Committee of Patriotism
through education, of the National
Security League, invites you by
courtesy of Chautauqua Institution
to attend conference of representa-
tives of organizations engaged in
education in patriotic service at
2, until Saturday, July Z, 1917"
By engaging in the stupendous but
glorious task of arousing the spirit of
patriotism of the American people
this conference promises to be his
torical, and a potent factor in the
development of the National spirit in
making America United and America
Efficient
Over 5000 men and women of rec
ognized National leadership attended
the Congress of Constructive Patriot
ism held in Washington in January
of this year, with the great hope Of
bringing to the American people a
clear understanding of our National

Riot In Fort Lee

"beered up" and were thus keyed to
disturbance from over-indulgence.
When they had made demand for
supper and no spread was prepared,
the disorder broke loose, and the
management hastily called for police
aid, and the Home Guard Defense
boys were requisitioned to quell the
disturbance. The boys in Company
A responded promptly, restored
order, but were kept up till after 3
a. M, as were the members of the
circus audience, children and all.
In the worst part of the trouble at
the studio, young Mr.. McAvoy, son
of the ex-mayor Of the name, got into
an argument with a much larger
Taylorville chap named Frey and
when. the latter made for him, Nc
Avoy turned loose revolver he
carried, he says in the air, and got
his antagonist one in the leg, necesi-
tating an ambulance ride to Engle-
wood Hospital. Frey's friends claim
he ran into a wagon wheel and in
jured his knee and was not shot.
1t is an open secret that the au-
thorities have been severely criticised
for allowing such an occurrence to
take place in the borough. The mat
ter Of allowing young children under
eight to be corralled in a perform
ance of this character till all hours
of the night, many nights in success
sion, is the worst feature of the
movie riot. That it was an outrage
on public morals is openly expressed
by many OF the leading citizens of
the borough.
1t is claimed by observers that the
lights in the big tent were so intense
that children and grown-ups were al
most unable to see from the glare,
and suffered greatly. 1t is alleged,
also, that one of the troubles came
from the elephants which refused to
work on account of the excessive
light glare, and this caused much de-
lay. Also the rumor is out that one
man was made blind by the light and
has been unable to see since. The
directors generally wore amber
glasses, but the audience would have
looked funnier than a circus all
fused up in auto goggles, so they
had to take the light and rub their
eyes. That more casualties did not
occur is wondered at. Young Nc
Avoy had arrested Frey, and this
was the cause of the shooting. No
bullet has as yet been located in
Frey's knee. McAvoy says he fired
in the air and could not have shot
Frey.
