RED CROSS PLEDGES DUE

The finance committee >of Tarpon
Springs chapter, American Red Cross,
will be about tomorrow for the pur-
pose of, collecting the December pay
ments of the Red Cross subscriptions.
Mrs. H. B. Robinson is chairman of
the committee and she hopes that
those who promised to pay so much
every month will be ready 50 that the
work of collecting the funds will be
as small as possible. Enough people
pledged themselves a month ago to
make possible a steady income of
nearly 500. This will be the founda-
ton for the Tarpon Springs chapter
to be able to render a great service
to the military relief work during this
great war. 1t is not charity, it is SIM
ply the people back home sacrificing
a little of their means and time to
help and assist those who have made
the big sacrifice Of going into the fight
in person.

..GRESS TODAY WILL OUTLINE
GREAT WORK BEFORE COUNTRY

Washington, Dec. 4.-Congress is
ready to take up again, its part in the

The second session of the Sixty-fifth
congress began yesterday at noon with
brief routine sessions marked by the

penses, aggregating the vast sum of
$13,50O,OO0.
The senate and house met in joint

Guidance of the president in the

nit that his recommendations, await

Speculation as to the nature of the

PRIVATE HANGED FOR
RAPE ON FRENCH GIRL

Washington, Dec. 4.-The execu-
tion of Private Frank Cadue, of the
infantry, for the rape and murder Of
a seven-year-old French girl, in
France, on November 5, has been APP
proved by the war department.
Cadue was hanged, after sentence by
a military court martial, instead of be-
ing shot, as had previously been said.
The record of the triaf says he con-
fessed to the crime and pleaded that
being under the influence of liquor he
did not know what he was doing.
In reviewing the case the war de-
partment considers that the military
law has been complied with in every
respect. Cadue's case was the first
case of its kind to occur in the army
abroad.

ment for such action is widespread,
however, and individual members
probably will introduce Swar. resolu-
tons. Oneaor two senators were pre-
pared yesterday to offer such resolu-
lions but were prevailed upon to with
hold them. !"
A spirit of confidence apparently
pervades. congress. Returning mein-
bers expect exchanged views with
declarations of increased. determine
5tion to lend every aid in vigorous con-
duct of the war. The leaders pre-
dicted that legislation would be con-
fined largely to war measures, as the
president is understood to desire. Sen
ator Martin, democratic leader in the
senate, said there would be little time
for other than war problems, and Rep
resentative Kitchin, the house floor
leader, announced after informal con-
ferences with colleagues, that he was
disposed to favor the plan. The I'M
derstanding, however, is that the few
weeks of the sessions, until after the
holiday recess at least, viii be open
to general legislation.

KNOWN AS
'THE CANDY NATION
Our Country Consumes More Sweets
Than Any Other Nation in
the World.

America is known the world over as
"the candy nation" and, according to
foreigners, the average American
spends the day imbibing ice cream
sodas and munching bonbons.
But now, says the Philadelphia
North American, medical science de-
clares that this is the secret of the
energy and strenuous life of the Am
erican, and that the more strenuous
he becomes the more sweets he will re-
quire; that actually 7,650,00O pounds
of sugar that is consumed yearly in
the United States might be increased
to the improvement of the nation.
King Candy, science says, is an ath-
letic trainer; a business partner that
puts courage and energy into man;
bold fighter of the. demon rum and a
heart specialist
The muscles Of the body require SUI
gar, and the more a man or woman
brings his OF her muscles into play
the more they. demand sweets to slim
iulate them, and thus the craving for
candy arises. The heart also requires
sugar as a mild stimulant, sinea,t the
heart Is really great muscle g'bag,
and the man who has big physical
test of endurance before him is sub
consciously warned of the need of ex-
ira sweets by craving for candy or
extra sugar in his coffee.
Thus the strenuous American Graves
and requires far more sweets than the
less athletic or more phlegmatic men
of older countries.
The candy shop, is also rival to the
saloon, for the man who munches on
chocolates and takes an extra amount
of syrup on his griddle cakes at break
fast has more muscular energy stored
up than the man who does not. He,
therefore, is not SO easily tired, and
the temptation that so often arises
from WEAKNESS to take one to brace
me up" is absent.

FOREIGN INSURANCE CON-
PANIES MENACE TO u. S.

Washington, Dec. 4.-German, Bull
garian and Austrian insurance compa
mics now doing business in the United
States have written risks now on their
books amounting to $2,853, 100000
\ On deposit with various state COM
missioners and banks they have assets
amounting to $27,772,0O0, or less than
one per cent of their risks. Their an
nual income from America is about
$25, 100000.
Whether these corporations are to be
permitted to continue in business is
now up to Secretary McAdoo; II have
applied for licenses to continue BUSH
ness, as provided in the trading with
the enemy act. One OF. two are liqui-
dating their affairs.
The bulk of the business they are
now doing is fire insurance, although
there are few millions of life insur-
ance in force. The life insurance pre-
sents no danger to the country.
American life insurance companies
do very large business in Germany
although since the war the govern
ment is practically managing their af-
fairs and undoubtedly winding them
up. So far as known they are collect
ing their premiums in the deprecated
German money and paying their loss
es in the same.
German marine insurance companies
have been put out of business in this
country. Newspapers called attention
to the fact that they obtained infor-
nation, with every policy, as to the
cargo, tonnage, speed, sailing course
and destination of ships sailing
through the submarine zone. 1t was
never proved that any of this informa-
ton reached Germany.

Artillery duels are in progress be-
tween the French and the Germans
north of the ghenin- des-Dames and
the verdun sector. All attack by the
Germans north Of Flirey, in the lat

the Germans being driven back by the
French, suffering heavy casualties and
leaving prisoners behind them.
Likewise, on the Italian front the
fighting is mostly by means of big
guns, the duel being intense on the
northern line in the hilly region be-
tween the Brenta and the Piave rivers.

SAFEST PLACES IN
LIGHTNING STORM
Bolt Never Strikes Railroad Cars,

philadelphia Inquirer.)

The fear of being struck by light
ming is both a very real and very
sensible one. But lightning can be
avoided like all other evils. 1t will
strike in certain places and it will not
strike in other places. There are rea-
sons for its behavior in both cases, for
nature never operates by chance.
A steam engine or railroad coach
is as safe as any place in the world
as far as lightning is concerned. No
one has ever been struck by lightning
while he was on board a train.
The business part Of. city likewise
is never struck by lightning. Neither
are tall skyscrapers ever hit. 1t is a
matter of record that insurance COM
panies never have any losses frep
| lightning striking any building with
metallic sides and framework Of iron
and steel. e
A steel battleship is also safe from
the bolt from the clouds, as is a steel
windmill tower. This is because every
one of these objects is its own light
ming rod and needs no further pro-
lection than they can give themselves
There is another list of things that
lightning will surely strike. 1t will
strike country house or house II
the outskirts of a town. 1t likes to
hit barn, church, schoolhouse, tree.
stack or animal, especially if it is
near wire fence.
AS for house, the safest place If
lightning storm is your iron or brass
bed. It is very dangerous to stand
near the bed, because you are taller
than. the bed. The reason why yor
are safe when lying on it is that the
/ bed head and foot extend above your
head. The current will not leave the
bed to pass through your body. The
walls and the floor of the room may
be ripped to pieces, but you will be
safe as long as you lie still in your
bed.
Feather beds offer no protection
whatever from lightning unless they
lie on a metal ped.
