The poem "Silver Lake" at the head
of this column this morning is from
the pen of a citizen who modestly re-
quests that no name be attached to
the verses. The words were inspired
by a visit to the beautiful little lake,
known to everyone for many miles
around, and finding much of the beau
ty of its surroundings ruined by the
ruthless cutting off Of the wood
growth. 1t probably had to be done,
but it spoiled a beautiful spot.

Lamont D. Bean, chauffeur for F. n.
Beal, mas invented a new method for dis
playing the Stars and Stripes at night.
He has placed two silk flags on the inside
of the head lights of the car. The light
easily penetrates the silk, thus taking 40
power from the lights and at the same
time making a novel display of the flag.

Seeking Substitute for Quebrach
Bark.

London, Aug. Sin view of the
fact that shipments of quebracho

plies are not available, tanners are
glad to hear that the shipping con-
roller has authorized the importation
of 5000 tons of waffle bark from

Works are said to have been estab-
lished in Natal for the extraction of
ts.nnin from the bark and in view CT
the fact tt waffle wood is being used

BLACK COFFEE POPULAR
MEN IN NAVY TAKE TO IT DE.
LIGHTEDLY.
1t Sufficient to Stimulate Them and
Keeps Them Wide Awake
While on Watch.
(By Associated Press)


Base American Flotillas in British
Waters, Aug. 3.-Black coffee is the
popular drink with the men over here
in Uncle Sans teetotai navy. Steam
ing hot coffee is always on tap on
board the destroyers when they are
out looking for submarines. The men
say it not only keeps trem awake, but
serves also as stimulant and pro
tector against the rigorous climatic
conditions under which they labor.
They have not yet carried on board
ship the afternoon tea habit which
they have formed ashore and found
such a satisfactory substitute for the
use of alcoholic drinks.
The vast majority of the men say
they do not miss the absence of in
toxicating drink on board their ships.
Those who want it can get it ashore
from midday until 8 in the evening,
hut for the vast majority the liquor
saloons have very little charm. The
record of the men as whole in this
respect, say their officers, has been
che of the gratifying features of their
stay here.
The patrols, therefore, have very
little to do but walk up and down the
mtain street of the village in search
of the trouble that seldom comes.

Another Handicap
Match is Scheduled

An eightcen-hole handicap round, match
play against DOGGY, similar to the round
played last Sunday, will again be staged
al the Brownsville Country club Sunday
next. Last Sunday IN spite of soggy turf
and wet walking - players went round.
With good weather this week il is expected
that many more of the faithful will make
the round playing against the well-nigh
invincible Colonel Bogoy.
Ii has been pointed out by Country club
golfers that a headline in a local morning
newspaper says .John Gregg Best Golfer
in reporting last Sundays play leaves n
wrong impression. Mr.. Gregg had Il
handicap of four To aid him in winning
the first place. While he won the particular
match played by outplaying the field un-
der handicap restrictions, the win does not
give him a champions honors, nor does
that victory in itself determine him 10 be-
the best golfer at the Country club This
IN no way dctracts from the honor Of win
nIng FIRST place in last Sundays round.
for which Mr.. Gregg deserves no small
credit, playing a he did against Il field
of 81 of the clubs best.

Admiral Luce has experienced all the

was very slow in the early days. He saw
the old fighting ~frigates and ships Of the

saw the wooden walls give place 10 iron,
and then to hardened plates Of steel. And
he saw the batteries of smooth bore can
non, which rose, tier upon tier, high above
the water line, give place to turrets and
barbettcs armed with guns that can throw
solid shot farther than the old type Of
guns could be heard.
The veteran sea fighter entered the SER
wee at the age of fourteen. He visited
Japan IN the old frigatc Columbus twelve
years before the expedition of Perry set
out. lie served in the Mexican and civil
wars with distinction and in later years
circumnavigated the globe several lines.
Before his retirement he had spent forty
