LUJTHERAN in
AMERICA ARE
NOT SLACKERS
Great Multitude of Denomina-
TONS Men Said to Be in
American Army
By Associated Press

Philadelphia. Oct. 24.-There are no
slaekers in the Lutheran Church. was
the declaration made to-day by the
Rev. DR.. T. e. Schmauk, in opening
the fiftieth anniversary convention OF
the general council of the Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Church in North Amer
lea.
"It behooves us TO say right here
and now," declared DR.. Schmauk. who
is president of the general council,
that we love this land to which we
owe our religious and civil liberty
and all our prosperity. That we are
a church that stands squarely on the
scriptural doctrine of unfaltering
obedience and loyal support to prop
erlS constituted authority, and that
we claim It as our right. our privi-
lege. and honor. to be true. with all
our resources and even unto death, ia
the Star Spangled Banner.
Never in our history were we
known to be slackers," was his ring
ing declaration. The Lutherans who
have gone forth freely to follow the
flag of their country, and are now
in the armies\ of the United States,
are a great multitude.

Fixed For Illinois;
Sugar Cut Two Cents

Chicago, Oct. Achievement SUI
pervision of food prices went into
effect in Chicago yesterday. when the
first of the daily prices which Harry
A. Wheeler. food administrator for
Illinois, considers fair were formally
announced.
This is said to be the first time
in the United States that an official
has fixed the retail price of food
stuffs. Most of the grocers have
agreed to put the prices in effect.
The prices fixed yesterday as fair
averages are about what are being
asked by representative grocers in
Chicago. The price fixed for flour in
quarter-barrel sacks is from $2.95 to
$3.1S, for which retailers recently
have been asking S3.15. On eighth
barrel sacks the price was fixed at
$1.49 to $3.50, as against S1.5S asked
by the retailer.
Sugar prices were fixed at 7% to
Sh cents a pound. while dealers were
asking 91s and 10 cents.

CROOKS POSE AS
US. INSPECTORS
Telling Woman They Are
Government Officials Pair
Take Hams at Low Price

Waynesboro, Pa, Oct. 24.-Two
slick fellows, posing as government
inspectors, visited one of the farms
in the vicinity of Lemasters and ask
ed to examine the meat they had on
hand. The farmers wife took them
to the smokehouse and after looking
IT the meat, the men stated that she
had two hams more than the govern
men allowed, for that size family.
They told her they would take the
hams along with them and the gov
eminent would send her the money.
She did not like the idea, and was
going to call her husband, who was
husking corn.
After some parley the men decid-
cd to pay her fourteen cents a pound
for the meat, the price they claimed
the government had placed on con-
iiscated hams. They paid for the
hams and then left.

AMERICAN TARS
ARE DRESSED FOR
ARCTIC WEATHER
Great Amounts of Warm
Clothing Handed Out to
Men on Destroyers
BY Associated Press

American Flotilla in British Wa
ters, Oct. 24.-American destroyers
and men are now prepared for the
winter. Both have been equipped for
cold days ahead. ,Fhe issue of winter
clothing to the men has taken place
and the fast little ships have been
thoroughly overhauled and have had
several "gadgets' added to their
equipment, such as gun shields for
the men operating the guns, nom
breakable glass windows for the
bridges, more crows nests and extra
life RATS.
Thanks to the busy women at
home who knit. many of the men
have been provided with ieXcellent
knit sweaters, jerseys and socks.
Now, however, an entirely new issue
of extra heavy garments, designed
by the British from their long ex-
perience on torpedoboats in the ter
rible weather off this coast, has been
made. Here are some of the things,
when donned, will make the men
look more like Arctic explorers than
blue Jackets:
Woolen Helmets
Helmets, made of wool and cover
ing all but the eyes, nose and mouth;
light coat sweaters, jerseys and car
digan jackets, knitted mittens and
gloves; extra heavy coarse under
clothing; lightweight wooden socks
and knee-length knitted stockings
besides heavy thick wooden socks for
boots, leather sea boots, wind proof
khaki-colored trousers; great coats
lined with lambs wool and knitted
muffiers.
Over this clothing officers and men
will continue to wear their kapok life
jackets made in vest form. These
vests in addition to their life saw
ing properties, are very warm. Pill
lows and mattresses on board their
ships are made of the same material.
The men also had oil skins when
they came over.
The men face the coming hard
ships cheerfully. All they ask is that
the folks at home do not forget them
while they are facing the perils of
fighting the submarine under the
vastly new conditions of winter. Few
of them have cruised in the gales
that are peculiar to this coast, when
sleet squalls are hourly affairs.

DEATH CALLS OFF .
SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Is Dead; Beer Party
Starts Another Couple
in Trouble

One divorce proceeding started in
the Dauphin County Court will never
be heard. Judge McCarrell, sitting in
Courtroom No. 2. was informed of
this to-day, as he was about to call
the case for hearing. The suit was
brought by Mrs. Grace M. Rideout
against Lloyd w. Rideout, Robert
Sucker representing the woman. On
Monday morning, when the list was
called in court, a request was made
to have the Rideout case placed last
for hearing.
That evening Mr.. Sucker received
the communication telling him that
further procedure was Unnecessary.
To-day he stated to the court:
1T will not be necessary to hear
the Rideout case, may it please the
court. Mr.. Rideout, the respondent,
died in Phillipsburg"
The last few cases on the long list
were disposed of late to-day. As in
many of the former hearings earlier
in the week intemperance on the part
of husbands caused much of the mari
tai trouble, wives testified on the
witness stand.
Margaret Johnson, suing for a di-
vorce from George Johnson, told the
court her husband had beer" party
on the night of her marriage, was
drunk frequently and mistreated her
while in that condition.
