NEWS QUARANTINE
 WAS AGREED TO
AmslicaRs Will Not Be Able to
 Convey Military Information

Washington, March 30.-It is ad- anitted by high officials of the state department that it was altogether pos- sible that American members and agents of the commission for relief in Belgium who are giving up their work in German occupied territory might have to enditre a news quar-. antine"-that is, beFfofced to remain in some German city for two or three weeks. The object. of this, it was ex- plained. was to prevent these Amer jeans from disclosing military infor- nation that might be of value.
 Their detention will not surprise officials here. and if it Is not extended for longer period than three weeks 1t would be regarded as quite the cor rect thing. in view of the circum- stances and of the stipulation entered into some time ago by these Amer jeans that they would agree to such a news quarantine whenever they elected to give up their work in the fighting zone. However, it is not ex- pected that American diplomatic and consular officers retiring from Bel gium will be detained, as assurances have been given by Germany, through Spain. that these agents of the Amer ican government will be allowed to go directly to Switzerland.
 To correct misapprehension and ex- plain the situation. the state depart ment has issued this statement:
 There appears to be some misap- prehension as to the delay in the withdrawal of American members of the commission for relief in Belgium. Shortly after the break in relations with Germany negotiations were in- stttuted with a view to providing for the continuation of the relief work.
 ''The German authorities in Bell gium invited the American members to remain, and gave written assur- ances that they might leave whenever they desired to give up the work. E "Iri view of the fact that these men were in the fighting zone, however, 1t was stipulated that they should. upon relinquishing their work. remain for

Four men reported for service III; the local unit of the Home GtiardI when the recruiting office was opened in the Town hall last night. The ad- dition of four brings the total en- listments for the town up to twenty twp. but before many days have. passed 1t Is expected that the total will be we'll along toward thecentury mark. J. T.

Kruath who inlfsted at the Emeeting on Tuesday night has just Burned seventeen and is the youngest member. Timothy Root. an old veteran from East Berlin, has also applied for admission to the guard and if taken will be the oldest mem- -ber. Kensington is close second in sthe matter of having the youngest member as Howard Crane was only seventeen the early part of the month. Now that the youngest and oldest have become connected with the com pany there are good. many in be- tween that are expected to follow the lead and become connected with the guard.

rection Of the American Red Cross.
Prof Richard Norton, who organized
the first section Of motor ambulances
for American volunteers in London in

MOONS EFFECTS NOT KNOWN
May Be Key to Sleep Walking and
ksadred Disorders, Declares
Writer in Medical journal.

All persons in all times have seen
an intimate connection between the
moon and fruitfulness, both animal
and vegetable.
"Even now" says the New York
Medical Journal, "the onions which
come to our city market owe their ex-
cellence to the farmers careful con-
junction of planting time with the
phases of the moon"
Such ideas have been so universal
that mans unconscious mind still pre-
serves them, though his judgment may
Scorn them as absurd.
Doctor Sadger of Vienna cites cases
of somnambulists who under the influ-
ence of moonlight are recalled to times
and scenes Of active childish wishes.
The moon calls them in deep sleep to
act out dream wishes"
The Medical Journal suggests that
the key to sleep walking and other
kindred disorders of childhood and
late life may be found in moon-lore.

HOMEMADE WASHING MACHINE
Miners in Alaska Construct Ingenious
Device - Take the Place of
Wa5nhoard and Tub.

In parts OF Alaska many of the mi
ners do theie own housekeeping and
laundering. 10 accomplish the latter
they use as {; substitute for the wash
board and tub device made of an old
barrel-churn mounted on runners so
that the miner can take it along to HIS
work.
A cylinder about 30 inches long and
of the same diameter as the head of
the churn is first constructed of heavy
galvanized iron. One end of this cylin-
der is left open, and the head of the
churn is fastened to the open end. The
cylinder is then carefully balanced in
the churn, and the churn-bearings fast
ened with rivets and solder to make
them water-tight.
Two screens are made of galvanized
wire of one-inch mesh. One of them is
suspended from the movable head by
one-quarter-inch galvanized iron rods,
and the other is fastened to the cylin-
der, so that the two are about ten
inches apart in the middle of the cylin-
der.
The clothes are confined between tile
two screens. The water surges back
and forth through them until they are
clean, or as long as the churn is in
motion. A large pinwheel attached to
the bearings furnishes the turning
power.

A HINT TO DRY FARMERS.

This has not been very good
year for the dry farmers, what
them double price, but many of
them have raised but little and
in some cases none at all but as
a suggestion We would say, every
leave their farm, can find work at
good wages in the fruit and hay
fields, apple growers need help from
NV on, timing apples in many
orchards is required yet, pickers
and help of all kinds will be reqired
n order to get the crop on the
market and we would suggest
hat every one that can leave their
arms for the next three months
TO move into the fruit section, you
an make enough to tide you
through the winter and start for
1ext year.

Costly Livinq.

Most of the high cost of living
comes from buying things we don't
need. If it wasn't for that we would
all live off the fat of the land, and the
rich and well-to-do would have enough
left to help other people and boost the
uplift of the city. If all the money
that society throws away on idle pleas
ures and needless things were redis-
tributed equitably among the people,
everybody would be living on lamb
chops, lima beans and pound cake /;
and the reflex action of such situa-
ton would compensate the well-off for
the loss of their joyless pleasures. But
the old ideal of the university seems
still to influence the people-"neyer to
vex at the lands ridiculous misuse"
1t wouldn't cost cent to have it 9th
erwise, as long as our money goes in
to pleasures and trifles. But take each
individual life and cut off the foolish
and needless things, and such a one
would occupy the proud eminence of
u champion of nobler things.-Ohio
