BENNY DADE
SOUGHT FOR
Negro Who was to Have Gone to
Camp Last Week Failed

Up.

A countrywide search will be
started by the department Of justice
of the United States for Benny Dade,
a Eft. Madison colored man who was
the only one of the group called to
leave for Camp Dodge on October
81, who failed to appear here, says
the TT. Madison Democrat.
Secretary A P. Meyer of the
exemption board stated today that
efforts would be made to locate Dade
and that in all probability he will be
charged with 'desertion If he is ap-
pretended.
The man was last heard of at
Peoria. He disappeared from that
city and has not been seen or heard
from since. The negro is well known
in this city.
Fred Snyder of this city is under
arrest at Cleveland, Ohio, and is
being held pending the arrival of
advices from the local draft board.
Snyder is supposed to leave Fort
Madison with the next increm ent for
Camp Dodge and has been travelling
with an advance car of Sells-Floto
circus Although it is not believed
that he is making any effort to
escape service, the officials believe
him careless in informing them as
to his location.

AUTOS DANISH
SLENDER WAISTS

Shall women discard automobiles
or corsets? That is the question.
Corsetieres are bewailing the passing
of the stiff-boned corset, and blamin !;
it on the luxurious gasoline carriages.
AS result, the sylph-like waist line
has disappeared.
OF course, women claim that their
thickened waists are due to their in
creased interests in athletic sports
and outdoor life, and that cOrsets and
automobiles, and chocolates have
positively nothing to do with the mat
ter. But history has an absent-minded
way of repeating itself. The reclining
comfort of big touring cars and limou-
sines are only modern copies Of the
Roman litter and Oriental Sedan
chair. Historical plates of these ger
iods showed women with Well-roundnd
waists in line almost with the hips.
Corsets are observed on riders in
jitneys and cable cars. Here it seems
