Woman Sees 18th
Engineers AS they
Leave For France

Engineers from the Pacific
coast sang from the rails of the
transport carrying them to France
when they left an Atlantic port,
according to a letter written BY
a woman who had the good for
tune to see them depart.
Many Tacoma and Seattle men
were aboard, and the contingent
was in command of Col. j. B. Cav
anaugh, who built the Lake WASH
ington canal.
They spent the greater part OF
the summer at Camp Murray
American lake.
How these Westerners looked
after being nine days en- route
without taking off their clothes, is
told in the following letter, which
The Times has received:

brother that they were on the way
here, but as all news about place
and date was censored he couldn t
tell me anything about arranging
to meet him.

Brigadier General Hodges-all to

quickly gave me the name and
number of the pier he was being

into a taxi and dashed down. He
had used a company telephone
against orders, to tell me.

at 6. The poor boys had been nine

Met JOHNNY BAER, OUR
CONGRESSMAN SKETCHiST

We have with us this evening,
ladies and gentlemen, the Hon.
John NJ. Baer-congressma from
North Dakota.
Baer, who chalk-talked himself
into congress. is going to do about
two caricatures week from
Washington for Times readers.
When elected he was a cartoon
list on the Fargo Courier-News, or
gan of the Non-partisale lague.
He had been educated as a civil
engineer, and took a fling at farm
ing before going into art. And
he IS just over 25, the age neces-
sary for election to congress.
Naturally, then, he had the
young men, the farmers, the tech
nical men, with him; and as his
cartoons bore the engravers' union
label, all union men were with him
too.
He got more votes than all six
opponents.
That marked the entry of the
ANOh l's'i tlHoi itd sue illIo
politics. 1t had previously swept
North Dakota in a state election.
Old party candidates played all
kinds of tricks to beat Baer.
One fellow ridiculed his farm
ing by alleging the young chap
had covered a wagonload of flax
to keep 1t from freezing. (Flax
doesn't freeze.) But Baer explain
ed, in his cartoon, he had really
covered the flax, in a terrific
windstorm, to keep it from blow
ing away. And the day was
saved.
Another candidate spoke with
Norwegian accent and boosted
scandinavian parentage = in a
strong Scandinavian community.
But the town voted for Baer.
And farmers flocked for miles
to see Baer in his talks,
which he illustrated with crude

boys could not get away from the
ship, as they were in all day, but
as General Hodges says, we have
got them over safely so far, and
for one am not going to complain

The boys, tho, looked a little BIZ
disappointed. 1t is probably the
first time most of them ever slept
in their clothes for so long at a
stretch, and they will have 10
days more of it, with probably sea-
sickness added.
But what bully fellows!
They looked like a lot of col
lege boys going ON camping
trip.
"A few people (25) had
managed to get the news, and
we were all who saw them
off.

the best element of the country is

Wild for Cigarets.

boxes of cigarets and chocolate.
There was a wild scramble when
he threw them over the side. The

Invented Graham Flour.

The use of Graham and whole wheat
bread has spread remarkably in the
last few years. The inventor Of Ora
ham bread and flour was Rev. Sylves-
ter Graham, a New England clergy
man, who died in Northampton, Mass,
Sc years ago, having devoted the
major part Of his life to the advocacy
of vegetarian dietetic theory. In
1889 he introduced Graham bread,
made of unsifted wheat flour, and
thereafter urged its use in books,
pamphlets and lectures. At first the
masses of housewives turned q deaf
ear toward his arguments, but grad
ually Graham flour won it's way and
became an established commercial
product.
