A big bunch of witnesses, includ-
ing quit, IN, per of young fellows,
were examined in connection with re-
rcrted gambling holes in the south
end.
Fitty-'our witnesses were examin-
I'd in ali, covering seventeen cases.
Thirteen truo bills or indictmnts
Were returned and four cases ignor-

Pro-German opaganda.-Spread
False Stories.

Washington.-Pro-G prOpagan-
agninst the government of the United
States, has ut last attacked the Red
ross so nearly In the open that Gen
erai Manager Harvey ID. Gibson has
cent telegram to all division mana
,ers in the United States TO report to
lin the source of every attack.
''Rumors and innuendOes critical of
md calculated to embarrass the Red
Cross are being industriously circulat-
vi as part of an unpatriOtic prOpa-
antia," wired Mr. Gibson. "MIany stO-
les, utterly unwarranted in fact, ema-
late simultaneously from too many
,arts of the country to be merely ac-
jdental"
Z the propaganda will be found. He
ayx:
Every criticism or innuendo against
he Red Cross should be Immediately
hafienged and followed up"
The stories are of many kinds. One
: that the Red Cross sells and keeps
he money for sweaters ana other ar
ices given for the soldiers. Another
that nearly all money contributed
.oes for expenses and salaries"
CA course the stories are maliciously
untrue. AS Mr.. Gibson says:
'"rhc Red Cross is run ms an Oppn
)ook. Ii mas no secrets. 1t is making
sincere effort to serve mankind. and
$ doing it rs carefully and econom-
csily as it knows how. The utmost eff
ort is being made To give publicity

DOWN THE DALMATIAN COAST
Strange Superstitions of the Mixed
People That Live Along the
Adriatic.

A much mixed, backward and
strangely superstitious people are
those who dwell along the eastern
shores of the Adratic sea, according
To Il bulletin of the National Geo
graphic society. Greek colonies and
Roman municipal; Byzantian officials
and sick Franks abandoned on the
rocks Of lara by Crusaders; Italians
eXiled during the centuries of strife
among their petty states or brought
thither by trade ventures; the flood of
Slovenian and, later. of Ottoman. in
vasion; all these are the elements of
the people living along Austria-Hun-
garyS seacOaSt.
Vampires. diabolical ghosts. witches,
'vilen." and vengeful spirits are held
in great respect throughout this coun-
try and the folklore is rich in their
doinGS and in the common mOrtal's
philosophy of Self-preservation in a
world filled with such diScouraging
things. The alp" or nightmare. is
bitter old maid. recognizable by her
garb, who sits on the back or breast If
the sleeper and torments him.. mayhap
fatally. She cannot. for some reason
or other. sit upon the sleeper's side.
and the true HalmatiOn never thinks
of sleeping in any other way than on
his side.

Thus. they are best killed while the

by strange, sing songing cry.
AS far away as the Simbruni hills
that lead in gradatiOns of wildness to
the harsh heart Of central Italy. the
Rome-SulmOna railroad has its grim

cradle of western monastic orders. all
is ready against the incursiOn of ILL
intentioned creatures of the air.
Vatican Real Help to Rome.
And yet. it is perhaps the Vatican
that constitutes the best and surest
anti-aerial wea pom. The pope lives
within its walls. and Austria. the most
Catholic monarchy, will send no bombs
to Rome. As the capital of Italy.
Rome would perhaps not be spared,
but a stray bomb on the Vatican would
trouble the cOnScienceS of the dual
monarchy more than the slaughter of
any number of innocent nOncOmbat-
ants and create complications for the
imperial government greater than they
care To face. 1t is doubtful whether
even Protestant Germany would care
to affront the conscience of a not in
considerable part of its population.
There have been no formal assurances
given to that effect-if they exist they
have not been made public-yet there
seems to be tacit understanding
that because of the pope's presence
Rome is to be respected.
Thus, this city of many vicissitudes,
though prayer and fasting are as much
out of date as means of defense as
the terror by night" that haunted the
old monks of SubiacO, carries within
herself purely spiritual defense more
powerful than any girdle of steel.

Chilling Of eggs to GO degrees Fair
emmett, or below, as soon after pur-
chase as possible, was advocated.
Most eggs are fertile, and the life

chilled. Even in infertile eggs the
bacterial growth develops very soon.
Wholesalers were urged to equip their
plants with the latest cooling machin-
cry.
All second-sraic eggs, heated.
Shrunlcn or cracked, should be mar
kct"d as often and as near the source
as possible. These are usually dcssi-
Gated or frozen. and are used by con-
fectiOners and bakers.
Before shipping. all eggs should be
carefully rehandled and those badly
"checked"-that is, with shells
crackcd-shouId be removed. Packing
in standard cases IS recommended. to
prevent breakage. Eggs should be
gathered by farmers daily and market
ed at least twice n week.
Cause of Many Scandals.
The practice of selling poultry with
feed. sand or gravel in their crops.
which * paid for by weight with the
bird, j. discouraged. This crafty de-
vice has caused many scandals In the
industry, and several municipal inves-
legations. notably one in New York.
Dressed poultry should be sold with
the crop entirely empty. All birds
should be kept in sanitary coops and
yards. and as soon as dressed should
be chilled To 40 degrees, or lower, to
prevent bacterial growth.

French were preparing for the attack
and the roads were only paSsahle at
night. The communication trenches
were awful to get through. and were
made worse by the heavy rains. one
night last week two of the boys got
lost in the darkness and could not find
their way with their ambulance Ia the
post. Finally they sighted two dark
objects which rcSCmblCd French sol
