Charting the Army's Feet.

To layman, the records of the in
spections of the feet of the various
militia regiments stationed on the
border last summer are astonishing.
For example, take the specific case of
the Sixteenth Pennsylvania infantry.
Out of 1,0S7 men inspected only 300
with sound feet were found. Four hun
dred and seventy-siX men were wearing
shoes from one to two complete sizes
too small. The Sixteenth Pennsylva-
MIA sported 750 corns, 762 ingrowing
nails, 613 bunions, to say nothing of
such esoteric maladies as "exostoses,"
'pronation" and "hallux valgus," of
which latter misery there were 800
well-developed cases. One wonders
how the Sixteenth Pennsylvania got
over the ground ut all.-"The Feet Of
the Fighting Men," in the Worlds
Work.

Contributed From All Countries.

From the southwestern United
States every year now there are sent
to market tons of dates. If it had not
been for the bureau of plant industry
and its explorers. the date today would
not be an American product. Out of
China have come cherries which took
gratefully to our soil and climate; from
the Altai mountains have come red
currants; from the Orient somewhere
has come the puckerless and seedless
persimmon, and from other places of
the far-off have come fruits and vege-
tables of good garden and table serv-
ice, and shade trees for the comfort
of men in sections Of this country
where no shade tree of American origin
would take root.

QUAINT OLD ENGLISH CUSTOM
On St. Thomas Day Custom Allowed
Poor Children to Solicit Aims
From the Rich.

In former times there were many
quaint customs connected with st.
Thomas day, the twenty-frst of De
cenber, but most of these have now
died out. In "Merrie England" the
children and young people of the hum
bier classes were licensed by custom
to go begging at the homes of the
well-to-do and the rich. This custom
was called "going a gooding" or "go-
ing corning" and was usually ac-
companied by a general merrymaking
and the singing of songs suited to the
occasion. In some remote parts of
England poor families are still permit
ted to make the rounds in quest of
aims on st. Thomas Day, but it has
now become deadly serious business,
and not the gay affair of former times
when youngsters went about singing:
Wassail, wassail, through the town, If
you've got any apples throw them
down.
Up with the stocking, down with the shoe,
II you've got no apples money will
do;
The jug Is white and the ale Is brown
this is the best house in town.

Some of the New Laws
Affecting this County

The Bulletin is in receipt of the
advance sheets of the laws enacted
by the last session of the legislature.
Among the new laws are several
affecting Mineral County, notably
that providing for the building of u
high school at Hawthorne. The
building is to cost not more than
50, 900, the money to be raised by a
bond issue This bill was introduced
by Mr. Ackelnan.
The County Commissioners are
directed TO issue bonds for the build
ing of an $4,000 school house in
Nina. These bonds are to be re-
deemed by ii special Il X on the prop
erty in the Nina school district.
Another law directs the Commits.
sloners to issue bonds for an amount
not exceeding 50, 800 to be used for
the purpose of making improvements
to the Hawthorne district school.
This bill was introduced by Senator
Summerfield after the date set by
the Legislature for the introduction
of bills had passed 1t was declared
by the Senator to be AN emergency
measure, and he asked the unanimous
consent of the senate for It's intro
duction. | the full amount of the
bonds provided for are issued, it will
require IA special tax of owe" IS cents
on each 800 valuation of the prop.
erty within the Hawthorne School
district, to be levied annually for
the next five years, to raise the
necessary money for their redemp
tion.
Ackerman's bill making provision
for deputy for the County Clerk
and Treasurer did not pass. This
measure was IN the form of an
amendment to the present law fixing
the compensation of the officials of
this county, which makes no pro-
vision for deputy for the Clerk and
Treasurer, but which allows the
Auditor and Recorder $50 per
month for deputy hire for all months
in which the fees collected by that
office exceed the sum of 5000. Ack-
erman's bill would have chanued this
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1917-04-14

so that total of 81, 900 would bave
been expended annually for deputy
hire, to be divided equally between
the offices of the Clerk and rreasur-
er and the Auditor and Recorder,
making material reduction in the ex-
pense TO the county and at the same
time providing for much needed
deputy for the Clerk and Treasurer.
The bill passed the Assembly unani-
mously and on its being submitted 20
the Senate was referred to the Min
eral County delegation in that body,
consisting of Senator Summerfeld.
He killed the bill, introducing in it's
stead substitute measure which iu-
creased the compensation of the dep
uty and took the employing power
away from the officers, placing it in
the hands of the Commissioners.
Ackerman in his turn amended Sum-
merheld's bill, making it conform to
the original. Summerfield would
not agree to the amendment, and the
bill failed to become law.
The Ackerman highway act pro-
vides for the construction and main
tenance of four routes to be known
as state highways. One Of these
runs from Reno to Goldfeld, via
Carson City, Yerington, west OF
Walker Lake to Hawthorne, Luning,
Nina and Tonopah. Construction is
to commence as soon us funds are
available. Appropriation OF $40, 900
to carry out the purposes of the act,
and special tax levy of IA cents is
ordered, half of the money thus
raised to be expended within the
county wherin it is raised and the
balance to be used at the discretion
of the highway engineer. This will
make approximately Sc, 300 available
for use in this county in July, and
and probably means that the con-
struction of the road west Of the lake
will be begun during the present
year.

Good Health Waits on Digestion.

Cheerfulnoss and stoutness are gen.
orally found together. Fat is probably
the result of good digestion, because
food eaten is readily changed by the
processes of the body into living tis-
sues. The flesh of your body may be
measured by the ability of the diges-
tive structures to get the full measure
of worth out of the food consumed.

squadron of enemy airplanes was made between 9 and 10 o'clock in tha morning, when the business section was most crowded Altho the Ger man contingent was larger, more dar7 ing, more deliberate and descendedl much lower than on the visit of June 13, the killed and wounded were only about one third the previous casualty list.
 The flight of tre Germans lasted. about 20 minutes. British airmen en- gagged them for several minutes and, anti-aircraft guns were firing swiftly, but without success so far as concern-' ed the destruction of any of the 20' or more invading machines.
 The admiralty was able to report tonight that naval airmen who fol- lowed them to sea brought down three machines.
 A British squadron sent up from Dunkirk to intercept the raiders did not encounter them, but the British airmen met and destroyed seven other German machines.
 On their former visit, made in hazy weather like today, the Germans swept high in the midst, but today. when they neared their objective. most of them descended. Their formation was like flock of wild geese and neither British pursuers nor guns were able to scatter them until they spread out when ready to use their bombs.
 Hundreds of thousands of people on roofs, from windows and in the streets saw the spectacle. All Lon- don heard the noise of battle.
 The Germans steered across Lon- don northwest to southeast. They dropped the last of their bombs on workmen's dwellings and crossed the Thames.
 Some observers say a giant airplane piloted the squadron and that the bomb carriers were in the center. flanked by scouts for fighting off British airmen. e
