WHAT SORT ARE YOUR DOL
IARS7

A boarded dollar is Stacker and a
dollar spent for an unnecessary thing
is IAN ally of the enemy, Frank Van
derlip, national director of the War
Savings campaign, said in speech
the other day urging purchase of War
Savings stamps and certificates for
the double purpose of directly assist
ing the government to finance the war
and economizing on materials and en-
ergy devoted to producing non-essen-
tials. "To hoard a dollar is to make
of it an idle dollar, an unemployed
dollar, said Mr.. Vanderlip. ga dol
lar that is not at work is almost as
truly drain upon society as an idle
man, and in the time of this crisis
when the world needs every dollar, a
boarded dollar is Stacker. There is
something worse than Stacker,
though. A Stacker is only a negative
uuantity. But a dollar spent for an
unnecessary thing today becomes an
ally of the enemy. 1t is traitor dol
lar because the labor Of men and of
women is employed needlessly to make
useless things when the government
needs that labor to make things that
are essential for our soldiers in win
ming the war-so we must see that
the dollar spent for unnecessary
things is a menace to our country, a
menace in this world fight for free
dom. 1t is for every person to stop
and consider, before spending each
dollar, into which pan of the scale
they will throw it." If every dollar
that is boarded and every dollar that
is spent for an unnecessary thing were
invested during the war inWar Saw
ings stamps and certificates or Lib
erty bonds there would be no lack OF
money to supply the needs
of our own country and oul
allies and those who supplied

THE Gold Bug
BY Edgar Allen Poe

the lid consisted Of two sliding
bolts. These we drew back
trembling and painting with anx-
iety. In an instant, treasure OF
inealculable value lay cleaning be-
fore us. AS the rays of the Ian
terms fell within the pit, there
flashed upward a glow and a glare
from a confused heap Of gold and
jewels, that absolutely dazzled our
eyes.
l shall not pretend to describe
the feelings with which I gazed.
Amusement was, Of course, pre-.
dominant. Legrand appeared ex-
hausted with excitement, and
spoke very few words.
Jupiter's countenance wore, for
some minutes, as deadly a pallor
as 1t is possible, in the nature OF
things, for any Negroes visage to
assume. He seemed stupefied-
thunderstrucken. Presently he fell
upon his knees in the pit, and
burying his naked arms up to the
elbows in god. let them there re-
main, as If enjoying the luxury OF
a bath. At length, with a deep
sigh, he exclaimed, as if in a So
liloquy:
And dis all cum OBJ de goole-
bug! de putty goole-bug. de poor
little goole-bug, what / boosed in
dat sabage kind of style! Amt
you shamed OBJ yourself, niger
answer me dat!"

phires, with an opal. These stones
had all been broken from their set
tings and thrown loose in the
chest. The settings themselves,
which we picked out from among
the other gold, appeared to have
been beaten up with hammers, as
If to prevent Identification.
Besides all this, there was vast
quantity of solid gold ornaments;
nearly two hundred massive finger
and earrings; rich chains-thirty
OF these, If l remember; eighty
three very large and heavy cruel
fixes; five gold censers of great
value; prodigious golden punch
bowl, ornamented with richly
chased vine-leaves and Bacchana-
liam figures; with two sword-han-
dies exquisitely embossed, and
many other smaller articles which
| cannot recollect.
The weight of these valuables
exceeded three hundred and fifty
pounds avoirdupois; and in this
estimate l have not included one
hundred and ninety-seven superb
gold watches; three of the number
being worth each five hundred
dollars, II one. Many of them
we're very old and as timekeepers
valueless; the works having suf-
fered more or less from corrosion
but all were richly jeweled and
in cases of great worth.
We estimated the entire con-
tents of the chest that night at a
million and half of dollars; and
upon the subsequent disposal OF
the trinkets and jewels "a few be-
ing retained for our own uset, II
was found that we had greatly I'M
dervalued the treasure.

in deliberation-so confused were
the ideas of all. 1,
We finally lightened the box by
removing two-thirds of its con-
tents, when we were enabled, with
some trouble, to raise 1t from the
hole. The articles taken out we're
deposited among the brambles and
the dog left to. guard them, with
strict orders from Jupiter, neither
upon any pretense, to stir from
the spot. nor to open his mouth
until our return. We then hur-
riedly made for home with the
chest; reaching the hut in safety,
but after excessive toll, at 1 O'Clock
in the morning.
Worn as we we're, 1t was not in
human nature to do more immedi-
ately. We rested until 2, and had
supper; starting for the hills i'm
mediately afterward, armed with
three stout sacks, which, by good
luck, were upon the premises. A
little before we arrived at the pit
divided the remainder of the booty
as equally as might be, among us
and, leaving the holes untitled
again set out for the hut, at which
for the second time, we deposited
our golden burdens, just as the
first faint streaks of the dawn
cleaned from over the tree tops
In the east.
We were now thoroughly broken
down; but the intense excitement
of the time denied us repose. After
an unquiet slumber of some three
or four hours duration, we arose,
as if by preconcert, to make exam
ination of our treasure.
The chest had been full to the
brim, and we spent the whole day.
and the greater part Of the next
night, in a scrutiny of it's contents.
There had been nothing like order
or arrangement. Everything had
been heaped In promiscuously.
Having assorted all with care, we
found ourselves possessed OF even
vaster wealth than we had at first
supposed.
In coin there was ra. ler more
than four hundred and fifty thou
sand misunderstanding the value
of the pieces, as accurately as we
could, by the tables Of the period.
There was not particle of silver
All was gold of antique date and
OF great variety-French, Spanish
and German money, with few
English guineas, and some eoun-
ters. Of which we had never seen
specimens before. There were sew
eral very large and heavy coins, so
worn that We could make nothing
of their Inscriptions. There was
no American money.
Tho value of the Jewels we
found more difficult in estimating
There were diamonds-some OF
them exceedingly large and fine
a hundred and ten in all, and not
one Of them small; eighteen rubies
OF remarkable brilliancy-three
hundred and ten emeralds, all very
beautiful; and twenty-one sap

DETROIT
LAYS BAN
ON VICE!

DETROIT, June mime
months ago James Couzens be-
came commissioner of police and
went into office firmly convinced
a segregated vice district was neo-
essary. So he bent his efforts to-
ward cleaning up and regulating
commercialized vice in Detroit.
Six months later Mr.. Couzens
felt that he had finally succeeded
in freeing Detroit's tenderloin
from crime and from disorderli-
ness, in making it more or less a
model of its kind.
One afternoon in March, with
Lieutenant Hayes of the Clean
up" squad, he made tour of the
district. They stopped in ID re-
sorts. They looked through them
from cellar to attic, and they
questioned a number of women,
and Mr.. Couzens saw things in a
different light.
The commissioners inspection
trip doomed the model vice dis
trict. Today not one disorderly
house is operating in Detroit, as
far as the police know.
81 haven't any conceit In the
matter" Mr.. Couzens says. Il
have no hope of crushing out a
vice that society has struggled
against since there was society.
But | can't condone the Haunting
of it. l realize that while We had
vice district /, being the CHIEF
of the police who regulated 1t.
was in a way the proprietor. 1t
was up to me to resign or to
abolish it.
"While it is doubtless impossi-
BILE to stamp out the vice, / do
think, by driving it under cover
and making it more difficult to
find, | may save number OF
young men and women from 1t.
If 1t is Haunted, 1t is q constant
temptation"
Mr.. Couzens is now laying plans
by which he hopes to avoid migra-
ton of the women Of the tender
Iloin into the residence district.
He plans to attack apartment
houses under one of two acts, both
of them stringent.

PERSHING
is FACING
BIG TASK
Especial TO The Time..)

NEW YORK, June Moving
an expedittonary force Of 25, 1000
men to France. the size of Gen
Pershing's division, is as tremen-
dous job as transporting an en-
tire city by train and boat.
Not only the $4,000 Inhabitants
OF the city, but all their houses,
furniture, clothing, provisions for
three months and other necessa-
ries. would have to be moved as
quickly. as smoothly, as silently
as possible.
Silence and expedition are the
watchwords of transporting an
army across the Atlantic through
the dangerous U-boat blockade.
Need Conveys.
To add to the stupendous task.
a fleet of warships is needed to
accompany transport as conveys.
To send $4,000 trops over
land requires use of 80
trains, consisting of 1875
passenger, baggage, box
stock and fiat cars.
These would carry not only the
men. but animals, guns. baggage.
equipment, food, stores and all
accessories a full division at war
strength needs on going to war.
The first 100000 national
guardsmen who moved to the
Mexican border in June, 1916. re-
quired $50 trains, containing
5000 passenger cars, 400 baggage,
1900 box, 1000 stock and 500 flat
cars.
Many Ships.
1t means comparatively great
or task to transport our first 49,
900 men to the French front, be-
cause of the smaller European
railway cars.
Nearly 100000 tons of shipping
would be needed to transport this
city of $4,000. United States field
service regulations allow three
tons a man and eight tons an anil
mails in ship space on ships above
5000 tonnage.
The tonnage allowance covers
men. animals and all supplies, in
GLIDING a margin for three
months reserve supplies.
1t took 80 ships, besides few
big freighters, to carry the first
10000 Canadians across.
Arriving in France, the troops
would have to build a new city of
huts. with repair shops. telephone.
telegraph and wireless systems,
and other buildings to store sup
plies.

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE NOSE
By DIR. w. ]. BENN.

with it's copious blood supply, and
the glanlular secretions acts as a
means of warming the inspired air
so that, by the time it reaches the
larynx it has become of the same
temperature as the body.
AS regards the relation to the
sense of taste, one has only to re-
call the familiar expedient of hold
ing the nose to assist in taking a
dose of 'isagreeable medicine.
From the foregoing it will be
seen that any irregularity in the
construction of the nasal passages
will exert an injurious effect upon
the functions of the nose; and that
diseased conditions of the mem
brane and growths in the nose all
bear a part in limiting the amount
of the one primary essential to
good health-pure air.
The word normal has been used
advisedly for reason that for
the nose to properly functionate,
it must be normal and any discus
sion of function implies normGlity.
Impaired function, however, is a
condition which is being expert
enced by a very large percentage
of the people and is, in the ma
jority of cases, the direct cause Of
reduced vitality and a vast number
of systemic conditions to say moth
ing of diseases of the throat and
lungs, such as bronchitis and
asthma.
Too much Importance, therefore,
cannot be attached to breathing
through the nose, and the early
correction of diseases or abnor-
malities in this location means the
early avoidance of other and much
more serious conditions.
