SLANG TOO MUCH FOR SPIES
American Ambulance Driver Succeeds In Passing Along Some lnforma-
 tion to Friend.

At a gathering of Princeton grad uates and undergraduates in New York one of the snappiest little sto- ries of the war was related by Princeton graduate just returned from ambulance service in France. It had to do with the difficulty in outwittlng German espionage in Belgium, and how It was managed through the medium of unrecognized language.
 Four months ago, the narrator said the system of espionage had been about seven stratas deep. Spies watched the Belgians, spies in the ranks watched the German officers, spies watched the spies who were watching anybody and 1t became apparent that anyone who might sneeze would be duly reported In Berlin.
 Just at this time one Princeton am- bulance driver heard from what seemed to be a reliable source that a German had attempted the life of Pres ident Wilson in Washington. It was but a rumor, and he did not mention 1t to anyone or have any desire to dis cuss it until he happened to encounter another Princeton man whom he had long known. When they met the driv- CT who had heard the rumor looked about and saw that ears aplenty were set for their conversation. He talked - casually with his friend and wondered as he talked what language he might use to impart his information.
 He knew little of the Italian tongue and thought of using that. But as he glanced about him there seemed face for every language. To head his friend off to a secluded place would excite suspicion and so he finally decided to tell him the news in American slang. He spoke as follows:
 Don't let the glittering delicatessen fall for this noise. I'm itching to ease you some dope and don't care to be beaned or dipped into the Hoosgow for chirping 1t. When it's across can the return chatter and remain a dumb Isaac. I have been hepped that up- stairs over Dixie pretzel birdie has I tried to Czolgocz the former papa of l Old Nassau"
 For a moment his friend looked at him with knit brows and then even as the spies stood with ears out at acute 1 angles, the listener answered.: l I'm right in your pocket, Steeve." |

Many ouestIons Asked.


 Persons claiming exemption on the ground of being aliens are asked to give the date of their birth, their birth place, the time of their entrance to this country the name Of the vessel upon which they entered and their eompan- ions. They are also asked, Are you willing to return to your native coun- try and enter It's military seryice2"
 Claimants for exemption on grounds of dependency must answer series of thirty-one questions, supported by affidavlts of the dependents. These questions are most Intimate, seeking declaration of the exact amount of money contributed to the support of the dependent each month. Each reg istrant must also declare the amount of his income for the past twelve months and the amount of his prop erty, real and personal. If regis trant owns q house he must state whether he rents 1t and if so how much rent he receives. Encumbrances upon property must be declared. as well as the amount of taxes paid in the past year Has your wife ever been employed?" Is one question ask ed. 'Is your wife trained or skill cd in any calling?" Do you or your wife live with her parents2"

TIME FOR BOSS TO GET BUSY
Paddy's Earnest Warning Seems to
Have Been Justified by the Facts
of the Case.

Paddy was out of work, and passing
works he saw a notice which said u
stOker was wanted.
OF course, he could use spade, so
he applied and got the job. 1t seems
the man who held the job before was
sacked because he lost time, and nat
urally his mates wouldn't tell Paddy
how to go about his fresh job.
The boss told him to watch the pres
sure gauge, and if he wanted to know
anything he was to go and ask the
boss.
For a while all went well. Paddy
shoveled the coal on, and the gauge
registered full pressure; and he
worked away until the safety valve
started blowing off. Still he worked
away, and the steam still escaped
through the safety valve.
Paddy, not knowing what was the
matter, ran to the boss, and said:
Boss, if you don't be coming to
this boiler, the boiler will be coming

How to Kill Ants.

Ants may be driven away by taking
handful of tansy leaves, broken into
pieces and dropped into boiling waite
Dip brush into this and wash where
the ants frequent. Do not let the steam
get near your eyes, as it Is extremely
painful. Another recipe is: Mix one
teaSpoonful of tartar emetic and one
teaspoOnful of sugar and place on the
floor. A sure remedy for red ants is
hot alum water, in proportions Of two
pounds of alum to three quarts of Wa
ter. Apply to crevices thoroughly.
Ants on the lawn may be killed by STIR
ring up the holes and pouring in kero-
sene and hot water.

CAUGHT OSPREY IN FlsHLINE
q Member of the New York
Fire Department.

How q fisherman lassOed and cap
tured an osprey, or fishhawk, with a
hand fshline. is told by a correspond
of fishermen were on board. he says,
and we were anchored with lines out
in every direction. l was fishing from
the starbOard side of the top deck,
near the stern. when suddenly 1t made
dive for a bergle that was floating
on the water short distance from the
boat. between two lines. but nearer
the line Of Mr.. John Woods of the
New York fire department.
Mr.. Woods tried playfully to throw
his line over the bird, and somehow
he actually succeeded in looping the
line round its left wing in such man
ner that 1t could not escape.
The hooks did not catch at all, for
they were. far beyond, but the osprey
was securely lassoed. 1t was at once
an exciting and ludicrOus task to reel
in the big bird. 1t struggled despe-
rately, and had ii not been for the
length OF line beyond it, with ten

been necessary to reel 1t down from
the sky instead of up from the SEA.
When 1t was brought to the deck and
found itself in the strong but not un-
kind hands of a group of fishermen. it
seemed frightened, angry and disgust
ed; but, strange to say, 1t did not fight
Its captOrs.
Someone suggested killing it, and
one man urged sending 1t to an ayi-
ary; but above all the other voices
heard self-appOinted counsel for the
prisoner pleading for Its liberty with
an oratory effective II not classical:
"Aw, let the poor fellow go!' And
so. on reflection, said the jury.
When the bird was set at liberty,
none the worse for its strange adven-
ture, 1t shot straight down among the
lines again, got the bergle it started
out to get, and then leisurely few
away.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the

suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints

these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calonel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold Of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teethl Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to

Describing his experience in explor'

mer and illustrating his talk with col
ored slides and motion pictures OF
thrilling exploits. Ellsworth Kolb de
livered a lecture before the members
Of the National Geographic Society
yesterday.
To illustrate the difficulties OF
travel Mr.. Kolb said that, although
in some places they proceeded at a
mfle-a-minute clip. one section of
seven miles took eleven days to cover.
The men were drenched from morning
until night and several times the boat
was broken and had to be- repaired.
To add to the trouble the temperature
dropped, snow fell, and provisions be.
came scarce. Mr.. Kolb and his com
panions travelled 1,4O0 miles through
the canyons.

HIS WIFE WOODEN.
50 HE QUIT HER
Did Tsimshian Indian, Proving
Live Ones Always Lure
the Hunter.

The tale of a Tsimshian Indians
wooden wife, described as a "beauti-
full bit of Indian mythology" occupies
a prominent place in the thirty-first
annual report of the Bureau of Ameri-
can Ethnology. 1t was prepared by
DR.. Frank Boaz, honorary philologist
of the institution.
Tackling this pathetic little legend
after the manner OF the late Mr.. Long
fellow, the following result is pos
sibIe, but perhaps improbable:
Once there was an Indian hunter
Whose young wife had kicked the
bucket
After first pursuading him to
Chop her image out of cedar.
This he did, and every nightfall
When he had returned from hunting,
He would hold a long palaver
with his young wife's wooden
image.
Peace he knew. The image never
Said il wished il had not married
Wished II had not left its mother:
Or that it was unApprecIated.
Then, one day, two Indian sisters
Walked into the hunters cottage,
Cleaned out this here hunters
larder-
Jeered and gibed the cedar image.
And the hunter, vending home
ward,
Heard the sound of racuous horse
play,
Heard the sound OF jeering laugh
ter,
As they punched his wooden image.
Was he sore? Not on your tintype!
Far from getting fused and peev-
ish,
He Joined in the festive party:
Helped to smash the wooden image.
Then he wed the younger sister
In his simple, homely fashion.
Thus he showed you, oh, my chill
dren,
How it is that Indian hunters
Yes, and F street promenaders)
Always follow after live ones.
