WAR PRISONERS DIVERSIONS

I shall always remember a certain
afternoon when Captain Ayres, after
tying to work his three-wheeled
''pram" alone, by pushing with his
hands on the spokes of the two side
wheels, was inspired to stand one of
his crutches between his feet and his
extended right hand, fasten his light
blanket to the top of the crutch, sail.
fashion Git was a very cold, windy
day., spread out the lateen sail thus
obtained with his left arm, and sail
off, bathchair and all, noisily cheered
by the whole crowd of us, and, if
remember we'll, by a few street urchins
who had climbed up the wall for the
occasion, writes Lieut.. r. S. in the At
lantic. More often than not he raE
himself into the trees or the grass
plots, for his front wheel was wag
Cling desperately to right or to left .
but he found willing. hands to shove
him back into the right path, and.
after a while, a new gust of wind
drove him few yards ahead, till the
same accident once more prematurely
shortened his tack. Everybody roared
SO much that the German doctors and
Brother Albertinus emerged from their
third-hOor drawing room on the bal.

and cheering.

C1ina's Income Tax.

China has an income tax Fashioned
in many particulars, after that Of the
United States. It has but recently
gone into effect and promises to add
much to China's income, the people
responding loyalty as they did awhile
ago to the patriotic defense fund. The
law requires that the tax must be paid
by merchants, government officials,
bankers and professional men and
specifies, " Pawnbrokers, shroffs, salt
merchants and firms given special priv.
ileges by the government shall pay at
every year end Cncomes under $1,00E:
excepted), 5 per cent over $1,000; j.:
per cent over 100000, 2 per cent ovel
S1,OOO,00O. Clerks are required to pay
monthly" It is proposed later to ex:
tend a nominal tax to those having
smaller incomes. ..

! The controversy over the location of
the new school building for the Long
Hill school district, has brought to
light some interesting history in con.
nection with the building of the East
Long Hill district, which will be aban-
doned as soon as the new BUILDING il;

residents of the district claim that it
dates back nearly 200 years, and that
it is still used shows with what care
the building was erected. The build

stone a rather unusual feature. It is
interesting to recall, in connection with
the school, that John e. Cooke, one of
the members Of John Browns raiding
party, and who was later hanged with
him, once taught in this school. He
was born in Killingworth, and as
young man came to Middletown to
teach school. Later on, he went West
and became acquainted with the IA
nous liberator. Lyman M. Baldwin,
one Of the well-known residents of the
district, says he has frequently heard
his grandfather speak of attending the
old stone schoolhouse, and often relat-
ed prank which some of his boy COM
panions played there one night. The
boys of the neighborhood had been in
the habit Of gathering in the school
house at night to play cards, their only
light being the embers of the fire which
had been burning on the hearth during
the day. One night some of the moth
ers of the neighborhood surprised the
boys by suddenly appearing. Rather
than get caught the boys all jumped
out of windows, and then one of them
locked the door on the mothers. The
result was that the boys were all home
in bed by the time the mothers had re-

May Account for Colors.

What was the color of the original

Adam was red, based on the assump.
ton that it was red earth (triturated
'old red sandstone" perhaps) from
which the Almighty nodded him; but
Tabari, the Arabian theological his.
torian, asserts that, when God wished
to make Adam he instructed Gabriel to
bring him handful of every sort of
clay-black, white, red, yellow. blue
and every other kind. This, perhaps,
was intended to explain how Adams
descendants became so many colored.
DeQuatrefages, who championed the

thinking that the first human species
had yellowish complexion and red
hair.

PRISON BY TONIGHT,
FATE OF SLACKERS

-
Acting on orders sent out by Provost
Marshal General Crowder Federal agents
throughout the nation are today arresting
all men between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty, both inclusive, who cannot show
registration cards They are expected to
be in jail by tonight.
The week of grace allowed those who
failed to register for the draft last Tues
day through misapprchension or other un-
foreseen circumstances has expired. Such
period of lenienCY was not contemplated i'm
the original registration plans, but was
made necessary by the large number who
failed to register June 8.
Attorney General Gregory was unwilling
to believe that the failure of more than
200. 900 men to register was due to or
ganized opposition to the draft, but now
that a week has passed it has become evi-
dent that those who have not registered do
not intend to do so. They will now be ham

Complaints to the Department of Jus
tice from those who have registered that
"quitters" were being permitted to go about
their business unmolested and that the
burden on those who have registered is in
creased, the million who have not have
stirred the department q vigorous action.
BY nighttall a great number of slackers
will have been taken into custody. Of
ficials of the provost marshal generals
office predicted. Each man will have an
other chance to register before being sem
fenced under the registration laws.
Total registration will be approximately
9,25O,OOO according to revised figures given
out by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
This number is NOR. than 100000 below
the original census estimate.
Revision of the figures was made when
Provost Marshal Generals Office realized
that in using census figures officials did not
take into account the fact that about 500 600
men Of eligible age already had volunteered
for service in the regular army national
guard navy and marine corps
Another factor in the revision was be-
lated realization that Census Bureau esti-
mates--made previous TO the war--did not

three years immigration has virtually

took an oath that they would avenge the
murder Of the heir to millions.
