cials az Washington have no idea
Of the hardships endured by the
rural carriers, one Of which is the
constant travelling in the cold for
fifteen long hours without rest
or lunch for themselves or teams.
There ought 10 be q ruling where
by the carriers could have an
hours rest for lunch, land ! think
this accommodation could be had
by writing 10 the department at
Washington, ID. G., for there is no
law that is not changeable.) /
would, therefore, advise friends
Of the carriers to get busy before
another winter. on this matter.
Furthermore, there should be an
advance in the pay Of the carriers
for these reasons First, the adj
vance in the cost Of horse feed;
second, the high cost of living,
and third. the long, cold, fierce
winters These rural carriers are
Americans; they are our people,
and have given faithful service to
the community. They deserve
better living. l do not mean that
further remuneration should be
extended them as a matter of
charity, but as q fair wage for
honest service, or as promotion
comes in ordinary business life.
With all due respect for the de-
partment heads at Washington,
would suggest as a means Of en-
lighteRment one day s trip for
them on one of these rural routes
Ito start from headquarters at
the break Of dawn, when it is so
cold the lines feel like ribbons Of
ice in your hands, and continue
through the cold and snow drifts
without a stop at any one Is house
until three o'clock, and then 60

GREECE WILL DO HER SHARE
Army of 100000 to Aid Allies in Bal
kan Campaign.

Washington.-Uncer as to
Greeces status In the world war was
cleared away Monday with the receipt
of official information that the Greek
government not only has severed rela-
lions with all four of the central pow
ers, but is actually in a state Of war
with them.
AS belligerent, Greece is expected
to lose no time in mobiliZing her war
resources and joining effectively in
the common allied operations in the
Balkans. The strength of the Venize-
los army is placed at about 10000
men and the remnant of the former
regular army, while not over 10000
now, has at times been modified to u
total of 100000 men and is capable of
reaching 100000 if munitions are pro-
vided.

IONS of Gold Dollars.

The statement that there has just
been counted in New York, at the
United States assay Office, the enor-
nous sum of $765, 100000 in gold may
be visualized somewhat when this is
translated into ounces, pounds and
tons, writes Girard in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
While it has been asserted that this
sum probably is the largest amount of
gold coin and bullion ever accumulat-
ed in one place, 1t is well to remen-
Der that only so recently as year
ago there was said to be $500 100000
in gold and bullion in the Russian
State bank.
The sum in New York figures out
something like this: There are APP
proximately 100000 ounces or 3,0OO.-
600 pounds or 1,646 tons. The figures
are not exact.

Chicken Had Unusual Dressing.

A roasted chicken enabled two pris-
oners to escape from the county jail
at New Brunswick, N. j., despite the
inspection of their cells every ten
minutes and the armed guards who
surrounded the building. To outward
appearances the fowl. which was sent
to the prison by brother Of the men,
was brown, appetlzing and innocent. 1t
was learned later that, instead of
bread crumbs and spices, its interior
held saws and files. When a keeper
made one of his inspections the men
were snoring loudly on their cots.
Ten minutes later he found that they
had disappeared by way Of the win
dow from which they had wrenched
the bars. Still later the brother who
brought the chicken, and his high pow
cred automobile, were also found to
be gone.

GUAROSMEN TO Be
SENT ABROAD SOON
BELIEVED SOME DIVISIONS WILL
BE READY TO SAIL FOR FRANCE
SOON AFTER AUGUST S.
Actual Concentration Of Troops In
Their Home Camps Begin, at Least
One Half of Total Strength of
Force Being Assembled.

Observation-Disclosures of the
national guard began on July 10.
While no orders for embarkation of
state troops for France will be given
until after August 5, when the en-
tire force will be formally drafted
Into the United States army, there
are indications that some divisions
will be regarded as ready to board
transports soon after that date.
The first clause of President Will
sons proclamation providing for the
liberalization of the national guard
for the war became effective on Mon
day. Under 1t all guard units from
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, North and South Dakota
and Nebraska went on the federal
pay roll from that date
Actual concentration of troops In
their home forces or state camps
began Monday. Approximately one
half of the total strength of the ma
tional guard, or more than 125,000
men, is included in the force as
sembled.
Rapid Progress.
Rapid progress is being made in re-
lieylng guard regiments which have
been in the federal service since the
declaration of war guarding prop
erty. This work will be taken over
largely by civilian watchmen.
1t will be necessary to retain guards
men for the protection of certain big
munitions works and other property
vital to the conduct of the war. The
department commanders will hold
such troops as deemed advisable for
this purpose.
The next step in the general mobili-
zation will be ordering of divisions to
the camp sites already selected for
them. A full supply of tentage is
available, department representatives
show, and the detachments will en-
train as rapidly as the commanders of
the departments from which they come
and of those In which their camps are
located agree as to dates.

WANTED
BADNESS DUE TO PET DOGS
Doctor Holds CANNES Responsible for
Epidemic Which Has Appeared
Among Women In London.

From London comes a warning 10
women who have pet dogs. Since the
start of the war many English women
have found that they were losing their
hair. A West Enc hairdresser, observ-
ing that he had mad more cases of fall
ing hair In the last year than ever be-
fore. regarded worry and grief as the
cause but a physician advances an
other theory:
This explanation is partly correct"
says this physician. "The depressing
effect on vitality of fear, anxiety and
sorrow reacts with serious conse-
quences on the hair. But in my opin-
Ion the epidemic, If there Is an cpl
demic, is to be traced mainly to infec-
ton from dogs.
Every hair expert knows that in
nine out Of ten cases the premature
loss of hair Is due to dandruff. That
condition often results from the pres
ence Of microbes whose great source Is
the dog. Ordinary cleansing with soap
or shampoo preparations Is of practi-
cally no use, but simple antiseptics,
such as boric ointment, usually bring
about a speedy cure. As preventive
measure dispense with the dog"

Marine Life.

According to G. II. Shoemaker of the
United States National museum, the
Danish West Indies offer an interest
ing field for study in marine life. In
one of his expeditions to st. Thomas,
he found among other specimens, great
numbers of beautiful dark purplish
red crab and many species of small,
the coral. These were in shades of
red and blue, and through the clear
waters were beautiful objects.
