ANTI-SAIOON FIGHT IS
 BEGUN IN CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March s. Three amendments will be offered by Senator Rominger to his own bill linn iting the ardent spirits in beverages to 10 per cent, the Los Angeles sena- tor announced tonight.
 These amendments will propose the abolition of all saloons by January |, 1918, the closing up of all roadhouses by the same date and the raising of the limit of alcohol in dry wines to IA per cent.
 "The question of the percentage of alcohol to be permitted in sweet wines will be taken up later," he said. An amendment respecting sweet wines will probably include prohibition of their sale in less than two-galloI. lots"

STORY OF THE PENNY GIRL.
Likeness on the 9Id Cent Was That of
 SaraB longacrs.

SaraB Ion0Acfo.
 In 1885 the gofernment of the United States made an offer of $1,000 for the most acceptable design to be placed upon the new one cent coin soon to be issued. Some Indian chiefs travelled from the northwest to Philadelphia to inspect the mint. whose chief engraver was James Barton Longacre, who in vited them to his house.
 The engraver's daughter, Sarah. ten years old, greatly enjoyed the visit of her fathers guests, and during the evening, to please her, one of the chiefs took bis feathered helmet and war bonnet and placed 1t on her head. In the company was an artist. who imme- diately sketched her and handed the picture to her father. Mir. Longacre. knowing of the competition for like ness to go upon the cent, resolved to enter the sketch for the prize offered by the government. To his delight, the officials accepted 1t. and the face of his daughter appeared upon the coin.
 The face of Sarah Longacre has gone into more hands. more pockets. more homes more stOres-yes. more churches than any other coin in the United States, if not ill the wOrld.-Pittsburgh Leader.

OUR SECRETARIES OF WAR.
Only . Few of Them Had Any Practical
 Military Experience.


 The first secretary of war of the United States was Henry Knox, who was born in Boston July 26, 175O. of Scotch Irish rarentage. Knox was the chief commander of the artillery throughout the Revolution and was secretary of war both before and after Washington assumed the presidency. being one of the few soldiers appointed to that position.
 His successor. Timothy Pickering. had also seen active service, anI James McHenry. the third to hold the post, had been a surgeon iIf the Revo- lution. Samuel Dexter, the next in line. was lawyer, but Henry Dearborn. Jefferson's secretary of war. had had much military experience. William Eustis. appointed by Madison, was q physician and gave way to military man, John Armstrong. James Monroe and William II. Crawford were law yers. and since their time most presi- dents have apparently considered a legal education the best qualification for a head of the war department.
 T. s. Grant. who held the war port folio for a brief period in 1867, and William T. Sherman. whose tenure Of office was equally short. were the only distinguished military men to hold the post within the last half century.-St. Louis Dispatch.

Egas Sterilizsd by Gas.

A method of preserving eggs which is said to keep them absolutely fresh for an indefinite length of time is in use in France. New laid eggs in tin cases holding 1000 each are placed in an autoclave, from which the air is ex- hausted until all the gas within the shells has been drawn out. Then car bonic acid gas and nitrogen are intro duced from tanks of these gases in liquid form. and the tins containing the eggs are sealed with solier. Any germs of decay are killed by these gases. and it Is said that the flavor of the eggs is in no way affected.

SKIRTS TOO SHORT;
 DIVORCE GRANTED HUBBY

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March S. That, anyway, was how William P. Cuff felt about it. Mr. Cuff was the husband involved It all started some five years ago in little town in Okla homa. As MT. Cuff who is a theat- rical man, strolled down the main thoroughfare, something caught his eye. A few days later MT. Cuff intro duced the company to newly acquir- ed wife. That was in 1911. In 1912. when skirts began to creep up, Mrs. Cuffs crept up with them. In 1913 when they jumped Mrs. Cuffs also jumped.
 MT. Cuff grew real sensitive about it. The neighbors talked. He plead ed with Mrs. Cuff. but still up went the skirts. Finally she sued for di- vorce and he filed cross bill, men, tioning the skirts. The trial came up in the Circuit Court before Judge Lu cas, and MT. Cuff was awarded the di- vorce and the custody of the children. He was asked if the mother cou d visit them.
 "T'm wiling" he said, but for the love of Mike make her wear long skirts when she makes the visit" The court thereupon ruled that shc should.

Canals of Venice.

The canals of Venice are a part of the Adriatic sea. The city is built on 11S small islands or shoals in the gulf of Venice. These islets are connected by several hundred bridges. and the direction of the canals, of which there are nearly POO. are so formed as to con- stitute the highways" Thus it is due to the situation of this city and not to special intention of man that it has canals instead of paved streets.

AMERICANS FIRST.-Last month
all our sassiety folks got together
and raised 100000 for the widows
and orphans of the Allied soldiers,
yet in the city of Chicago there are
over 40 widows and orphans in &C
tual want, and they are families of
American soldiers who died from
wounds or disease contracted in the
service of Uncle Sam.
Our social leaders don't care a
damn about them, as Americans are
not the vogue now. The only organ
izatiOn that looks after the interests
Of the families Of deceased soldiers
and sailors who served Uncle Sam is
the United Spanish War Veterans.
This order maintains an OTphanage
at Normal, H., and has never re

matter if a man is a member of the
order. As long as he was in the serv-
ice they will aid him. They don't
