INSANE WOMAN ESCAPES
Wife Of Amss College Instructor Miss
ing From Sanatorium After Being
ordsrsd TO State Hospital-ssoame
Associate Of Negro Rslsionists.

Nevada, June 12.--Mrs. Mary Lee
onora Staley, wife of Prof. Homer Sta
ley, Of Iowa State College was before
the commissioners of insanity Satur-
day and was ordered committed TO the
hospital for the insane at Clarinda.
Professor Staiey took her over to Iowa
sanatorium, where she was to be cared
for until Monday, when Mr.. Staley and
Sheriff Gretten were to have taken her
to Clarinda- t
She left the institution some time
during the night and it is thought she
came to town and boarded a North
western train for Chicago. She left
a note addressed to her husband stat
ing that she had gone and that there
was no use for him to search for her.
The case is peculiar one. She had
become demented over religious mat
tiers and had spent more or less OF ner
time in Chicago, where she had identi-
fled herself with a colored missionary
band. and she and a negro missionary
woman had been making their home
with the family Of a colored preacher,
1t was from there that she was brought
out here and taken before the board.
Sunday. the colored worker with
whom she had been associated came
out from Chicago and spent part OF
the day at the sanatorium with her.
That evening the colored woman left
for the east on No. 6. and it is thought
that she had brought out money ard
had perfected arrangements with Mrs.
Staley to get away from her confine-
ment and return to the work in Chi
cago.
Sunday the woman seemed to be-
come reconciied to The idea OF gong
away and taking treatment and there
was little fear of an attempt to es-
cape. The husband had instructed the
people at the sanator.um to give her
ali the liberty that she desired, and
1t was an easy matter for her to leave
her room and make al escape from
confinement.
She had taken treatmen. in couple
of private sanitariums in Ohio ana
also had been confined in the ONO
hospital for the insane at Columbus
al one time.

Aeroplans. 70 save Lives.

Aeroplanes may soon be part OF the

numerous cases in which it 10 impossi-
BILE for small boats TO reach stranded

occasions even the line-throwing guns

argued that aeroplanes. in any but ex-

to carry line to vessels in distress,
making 1t possible TO use breechea

shore.
Should congress- approve this plan it
would open new field to aviators more

would be compelled TO make ascents in
the worst possible weather. requiring
skill and courage Of the highest order.

Answers States Protest.
Notwithstanding the protest OF
Washington state officials against the
census bureau estimate of 212,634 eligi-
bles in the state, as compared with an
actual registration of l0S,6l5. the pro-
vost marshal sent word to Governor
Lister that the states quota of troops
must be furnished on the census bu-
reau basis. General Crowder's orders
in part say:
Quotas are to be assigned to the
several states in proportion to theiI
population as determined by the bu-
reau Of the census and not in proper
ton to the reg stration. The result
is that every person who has failed
to register is seriously increasing the
Ample notice and every opportunity
has now been given and there is no
longer any argument upon which the
conduct of nonregistrents can be con-
doned.
Time For Leniency Passes.
The period Of leniency has now
passed. 1t is requested that every eff
fort be now made to detect and arrest
persons subject to registration who
have not registered and to bring each
case promptly to the attention of the
nearest representative of the depart
ment Of justice.
Standardization reports of registra-
ton from the various boards should be
compared with estimates Of the census
bureau and efforts should be made in
those districts where Discrepancy be-
tween registration and estima ties seems
greatest.
In case Of doubt as TO age Of per-
sons who have not registered the tab
ulated record OF political organizations
and other local records should be con-
suited and data may be obtained from
the bureau of the census.
Law Must 30 Enforced.
THE purpose Of this telegram is to
inaugurate vigorous, aggressive, and
effective enforcement Of the penal
clauses Of the selective service law
against all who have. by their failure
or refusal to register, brought them
selves under those provisions.

We should not be surprised If some
Congressman does not propose, as a
war measure, that all newspapers be
suppressed. There is no telling what

NAV do.-Greenwood Journal.
No, couldn't do that, you know, be.
cause that would be a sepcies of Prus-
sian autocracy. And that is the thing
we are in this war to put down and
wipe from the face of the earth. But
you must just think what President
Wilson and the war council and the
authorities think, and if you do not
happen to so think, then you must
keep your mouth shut and suppress
your thoughts. 1t is true, that the
constitution which our fathers fought
to establish when we came from un-
der the British yoke was something
about the freedom of the press and
the right of free speech, but-what
was it some one said about the con-
stitution?
1t seems to us that it would be
grave mistake to keep the people from
knowing the facts, and a worse mis-
take to color the facts to suit one
side. In other words, the American
people are not all children and can
stand to hear the truth and the whole
truth. In other words again if our
boy is to be taken to the trenches
We would like to know when he is 60
ing and when he goes, and we mean
by that all the boys who are to 60.
O, no, these boys up there in Wash
ington and the president and the war
council are not going to suppress the
newspapers. They are going to give
them rather hard road to travel, but
they are going to permit them to go
on for while yet any way.

BUY 4 LIBERTY BOND.

But you say you have no money to
invest. But you can get the money
and it is better to buy bond and let
the government owe you than to pay
additional taxes. It is the best and
easiest way for US to fight this war.
Besides it is a good and safe invest
ment.
You many join the liberty loan club
OF the Commercial Bank and make
good investment, and at the same
time help to do your part in the war.
There IS no doubt about the bonds
being sold, but the government wants
every man and woman and child to
own bond and thus show his or her
patriotism and willingness to do the
part of a good citizen.
A campaign is going to be put on
this week to sell the share of these
bonds that is Newberry's part. Think
about it and be ready to take your
share when the committee calls on
you.
There is no use to argue the rea-
son why. We are in this war, and
it is ours now to do our part in the
easiest and best way we can. The
best and easiest way and at this time
the most pressing need is for money
for the allies and the sooner we get
it to them the sooner will they be
able to do that which will bring the
war to a close.
Buy a liberty loan bond, and buy it
today. Tomorrow may be too late..

Arraor Plate Plant
 and the South

A s the time approaches for the GA government to select site for it's $11, ,000,0 ,000 armor plate industry the south's prospect looks exception ally bright. Alabama is the logical state, and as it is known that the navy experts who will make the sur vey have an open mind regarding metallurgical questions it is hard to imagine how they can fail to recom- mend site in this part of the coun- try.
 Various districts north and south are candidates for the armor plant. A great deal of data has been col lected to aid the contention of this or that locality, but the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce committee has left nothing undone that might make . compelling showing. No single met allurgical fact or transportation econ omy has been lost sight of and, best of all, the committee has been able to employ as a scientific representa- tive before the naval committee soon to be in Birmingham the best known and most esteemed metallurgical en- gineer in the United States.
 If the people of the Birmingham. district sometimes show lack of CO., operation in important projects that are being considered nothing of the sort can be charged now. Mineral Alabama is unified in asking for the armor plate plant. Birmingham, Gads- den and Tuscaloosa are candidate communities. Each has it's strong point of view, but the great desire uppermost in the minds of our Cham ber Of Commerce committee and the

Cause of Light Vote

"The light vote cast at the election Tuesday for the school tax was some what disappointing to many of those who are interested in civic welfare said James M. Wilson, "and many req sons for this have been advanced. Some contend that the citizens were generally in favor of the tax and that, in the absence of any concerted op- position, took 1t for granted that the measure would carry. Others stated that 1t could have been defeated by in dividual work and cite several cases where the vote was adverse.
 Tt remained, however, for a wom- an prominent in scholastic affairs, to give real explanation of the light vote. She pointed out the fact that in the city the clerks and employees of the downtown stores. firms and corpora tions generally take advantage of the noon hour to cast their ballot, as they start work before the polls are open and do not quit until the polls are closed.
 Calling attention to the fact that Gardiner, the human fly made his sensational climb during the midhour, she stated that the big majority of the clerks preferred to watch this re- msrkable stunt rather than Journey to the polling places to cast their ballot, Come to think of it, she is just about right"
