The - M Scrap Book
Why the Man Was Not Killed.

Charles Morrow, Muncie contract or, driving his automobile to Indian apolis few days ago, saw In the road few feet ahead of him, while his car was going at rapid rate, an object that seemed to be man. Unable to do anything to avert an accident, Nor row grfpped the wheel firmly and steered the machine in such a way that though he might strike the pros trnte figure, 1t would not be in a vital part of the body. He and his compan- ions, however. were surprised that the machine experienced no shock on whiriing over the spot where the body" was seen and hurried back to the place, not knowing. what to ex- pect, but were baff1ed at seeing not the slightest trace of any object in the road. There was a, clear view in all directions, and the man. even though uninjured, could not have escaped be- ing in sight. Finally the mystery was solved when Ralph Young. member of the party, observed a scarecrow Tapping its arms by an apple tree along the roadside. Young discovered that on approaching the scarecrow at the right angle, it's shadow falling on the road made almost an exact figure of man lying in the highway.

WAR COUNCIL
 SITS TOMORROW

Paris, Nov. 30-The delegates to the inter-Allied conference were en- gagged today with the committee meetings at the various French min isteries, there being no general ses- siou- The impression is that the important work of the conference will be transacted by these committees, the proceedings of which are entirely secret
 The American members are ex- pected to exercise great influence in bringing about closer unity. They are pleased with the cordial and recep- tive manner in which their suggestions SO far have been received. The com nittee meetings probably will be con- tinted for three days more.
 IL was announced officially today that the supreme war council will be- gin it's sittings in Versailles at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It will be attended by Premier Lloyd-George and Gen. Wilson for Great Britain; Premier C1enenceau and Gen. Foch fort France; Premier Orlando Aand Gen. Cadorna for a Italy, and h Cot House and Gen. Bliss for the United States While this council is an ad- visory body for the formulation of strategic plans for operations on the western front, including Italy. 1t Is expected that It's suggestions will bear great weight with the commanders of the Allied armies and will result in that unity of control that is so much desired.

Real Description.

Adelaide's cook is Southern col ored lady of temperament, Adelaide says-and this pretty little incident appears to prove 1t. She came to her mistress the other day with some nice, rosy apples, just delivered by the gro cery boy.

 "Yes'm," answered the cook softly. They makes me think of nah little Joe-he's daid. One day An was blue an downhearted, an Aif-says. Joe. you go get yo' ma a nice apple.' We'll. he went an' hunted around an afteh awhile he brought me a nice shiny red one. An he says:

A French scientist has provided a means of obtaining stsreosccptc X-ray images that enable a surgeon to see a bullet in its true position. when it is lodged in a human body, by compara- lively simple arrangement. When see ing an image in relief on a screen and being able to recognize it's position in relation to bones. it is possible for a surgeon to estimate accurately the dis tance between his instruments and the projectile, or whatever the object hap pens to be. The method is described in the Popular Mechanics Magazine.

For Blowing Soap Bubbles.

A recent. invention has made the blowing of soap bubbles as safe and sanitary as drinking pasteurized milk. No longer need the youngster steal the soap from the laundry for his bubbles. Instead he uses tiny paper tubes purchased from the nearest drug store. These tubes contain small piece of sterilized soap at one end. The tube is dipped in glass of clear water. Nor is there any danger of the child's cutting himself on a broken pipe, as the tube is so constructed that it collapses under pressure.

Should Conserve Health.

Health is the first requisite for q useful life. One may get along with out it if there Is money to pay for doctors, medicines and assistance even then an unnecessary invalid Is. regarded as a cumberer of the earth. The ordinary person needs good health to play satisfactory part in life and should do everything possible to secure and maintain 1t through all the years. With the best of intentions and care as well it is not always possible to evade illness but there a better chance than if no attempt to avoid 1t had been made.

U. s. WILL NOT
 TRY TO FORCE
 RUSSIA'S HAND

Washington. Nov. S0-The Ameri-; can government is shaping what is described as a tolerant policy in dealing with. Russia in her present straits, so as to show hope and faith for the ultimate triumph for a sane democracy.
 It was declared today that should even the bolsheviki conclude an arn,1stice with Germany there is no present intention broadly to list Rus sia IS an enemy, and that the Ameri- can government is at pains to have all the people of Russia know its atti- tude- .
 Contracts for supplies of material for Russia, 1t was said, would 90 for ward as usual, in the hope that they would be applied to the cause of world democracy. It was pointed out again, however, that these are under control at all times and can be pre- vented from falling into hostile hands
 In view of the attitude expressed here 1t appears that should the inter Aliisd war council in Paris decide to send what has been described as a threatening communication to Rus Ha. the American delegates might not subscribe to it Of course. their ac- ton win be finally determined by the nature of the communication that may be Bent.
 Omcials here base their position on the premise that while the bolsheviki faction is working for a separate peace without regard for the opinion of the remainder of Russia, a great part of the country is not in accord with their aims and the success of the bolsheviki is by no means who'll y assured.

KEEPERS OF DIVES
 MUST OBEY LAWS |0R LOSE LICENSES

Many saloons in this city will have to comply with the warnings of the county commissioners and "clean up" their places or they will be denied licenses. There is a list of about 20 places where this warning was is. sued, and in most of the eases no. attention has heen paid to 1t.
 One of the objections Is the allow. ing of women to loiter in the places, and some are suspected of being headquarters for illegal conduct. Some of them are in Water street and other sections in that vicinity. They have been under observation during the last year. ''No remonstrapces will be required" Commissioner Frank Ballard said today.
 Remonstrance against the granting of a renewal of the license to sell 4iquor to Jack Shea in Main street, near Union Square, has been filed by Edward Sylvester Smith, as an indi- vidua1 and as president of the Y. M. c. A., alleging the place is unsuitable
 Shea was one of the signers of the remonstrance against J. E. Morrison who wished to locate next door, ths same objection, unsuitability of place being alleged. At first the remon. strance included any saloon in that block. but this provision was later withdrawn by the Y. M. C., A. off. rciafs& though at the hearing on the Morrison application Smith said Shea's saloon was detriment.
 The commissioner granted the Nor rison license, and up to date no ap- peal has been filed. Should an appea, be taken no hearing will be given on the femonstrance against Shea until 1t has been decided.

Had Good imagination.

Edward had a new little playmate who possessed much more imagination than he. To John a chair was a chair only occasionally. It in turn became steed, or, armed with two yardsticks for oars, it proved to be boat. Blocks turned quickly into various kinds of animals, etc. When Edward returned home after his first visit his mother asked him how he liked his new little neigh6or, and Edward replied: "Oh, he is fine. He has such 8 good pre- tendery."
