HOME GUARDS TO WEAR DIS
TINCTIVE UNIFORM.

The War Department has issued
specifications for uniform for home
guard organizations, which would
not conflict with statutes prohibiting
the wearing of army uniforms or
others approximating army equip
ment by any person not in the mill
tary service. 1t is in the form of an
informal suggestion, as the depart
ment has no authority to prescribe
the uniform to be worn by such or
CARNATIONS.
Forestry green or blue gray is sug-
gested for color and the coat pro-
posed is a single breasted jacket with
lapels, bellows pockets and white
metal buttons bearing the State coat
of arms. Trousers and cap would be
of the same material, with the let
tiers, H. G., set in wreath as an
ornament with similar insignia on
the coat collar. Officers would be
distinguished by shoulder loops with
one, two or three circles designating
second and first lieutenant and CAP
tain, respectively, and similar Sc.
ries of diamonds for majors, lieuten-
ant colonies and colonies.

A HOUSE BUILT OF STONES FROM

The "crazy patch" house of David
f. Brown, of Punxsutawney, Pa, is
composed of stone from all parts OF
the world, says the Popular Science
Monthly. There are stones from
every States in the United States,
stones from Italy, Ireland, China,
Japan, South America and other
places innumerable. Grindstones,
millstones, stones from the Mammoth
Cave, from Pixies Peak, from the
home of Patrick Henry, from the
spot on which Gen. Lee surrendered
and from every historically famous
place in this country, go to make up
the "crazy patch" house. Over the
fireplace is a piece of gold quartz
from South America. 1t required two
years to build the house.

GELETT BURGESS A REAL Pa
TRIOT.

There was time when we thought
of Gelet Burgess only as humorist,
as the inventor of the Good and the
Purple Cow and the Bromide. But
the war, which has shown up good
many people, has shown up Burgess
as first rate patriot. AS one of the
most active members of the Vigil
antes, he has been writing some stir
ring articles, notably about the Red
Cross. His latest contribution, is
called "Sentimentality Versus Train
ed Nursing: Which Do You Prefer
For Your Wounded?" This article
emphasizes the danger of our wound
ed soldiers being nursed by incapa.
BILE and inexperienced women. Mr..
Burgess says:
Partly inside, but mainly outside
the Red Cross there has lately de-
veloped a strong movement to extend
the training of the Nurses Aids to
include few months hospital work.
Now, although at first glance this
would seem to be a practical step,
behind the project is quite evident
an attempt to place, later, these
specifically trained students as reg
ular nurses in charge of the wounded,
There can be no doubt that wo-
men after their short hospital train
ing will feel themselves quite COM
petent to care for the sick-else why
should they go in for it at all? They
will be Economically anxious to en-
list.
Nov, do you want your father,
your brother or husband in their
terrible suffering, on their death beds
cared for by amateurs?"
Mr.. Burgess recommends that the
wounded in our war hospitals shall
be attended only by graduated nurses
and that patriotic women who wish
to give the full measure of devotion
to their country should enter some
hospital as student nurses and take
the regular two years course.
For the war;" adds Mr.. Burgess,

UNCLE SAM HAS AN CAGE IN THE

A special to the dailies from Wash

the following:
"Reassurances of the most startl-

confidence to newspaper correspond
ents by Secretaries Daniels and Ba-
ker.
1.-The men who have been covering
these departments have for several
DAYS been impressed with an indefi-

table, or rather, they permitted the
correspondents to look over their
shoulders. AS result almost every
correspondent came away with this
impression:
1.-THE United States has an ace in

$50 striking are the hands which
the two Cabinet officers are holding
that the correspondents made a
strong plea to print some of the de-
tails. For the present this has been

Sprague is capable of handling as a

Sprague is capable of handling as a
single tow. Four across-steam rows
of twelve boats each make up the
principal part, according to the Pop.
ular Science Monthly. Back of the
fourth row, however, eight boats find
places together with two barges.
Hence, there are fifty-six boats and
two barges in the big fleet. The
Sprague has her nose showed in at
the center of the fifth row. The
fifty-nine vessels are dashed securely
together by lines which run from
boat to boat. Although the Sprague
can push the fleet ahead, her chief
duty is to hold back the load.
This great amount of coal is han
died by relatively small total of
horsepower because the current of
the onflowing river supplies a large
part of the requisite energy.

JIMMY VIOX QUITS BASE BALL
FOR FARM.

Dissatisfaction over salary, coupled
with the recent draft of his brother
in-law, were the reasons Jimmy Viox
gave for quitting the Kansas City
ball team.
After receiving his pay check Viox
told Canal he was through. Claude
Berry Endorsed the $3.50 check, pay
ment on which was later stopped by
Tebue, who also notified Viox of a
$50 fine and suspension.
Viox agreed to save Berry from
loss and with his wife and baby left
at once for their farm near Lexing-
ton, KY.
Viox was formerly a star on the
Lexington baseball team during the
existence of the Blue Grass League,
and played many games on the local
grounds. He is well-known in Paris,
where he married Miss Nellie Lovely,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j.
Lovely.

AMERICANS MAY PLAY BALL IN
FRANCE.

A wealthy baseball enthusiast of
Washington, D. c., has offered to
finance the undertaking if Clark
Griffith, manager of the Washington
Americans, will take two teams of
major league baseball players to
France for a series of games behind
the lines for the entertainment of the
American soldiers and their allies.
Mr.. Griffith said that he would sub
nit the project to Secretaries Baker
and Daniels. If official approval is
given, volunteer players will be
sought with view to getting the
back series started as
soon as possible after the season here
closes A condition Of the offer is
that Walter Johnson, the Washington
pitcher, be one of those selected for
the trip.
