Boys in High Spirits.
Few apparently, judging by the ex-
uberance shown by many of the quota,
were in low spirits. While the men
were being mustered, and all during
the forenoon while they were assembled
in one place, the least provocation was
ample for Il lusty display of high spir-
Its. They checred on the least excuse:
cheered men who had waived their de-
ferred classification to get into the
quota; cheered members of the board
and others who were assisting. They

All possible places that the boys
could use in the city were thrown open
to them and to their parents today.
After the tedious muster was over.
, and after the watches and medals had

had been tagged, they all assembled
in front of the Y. NJ. C. A., where a

knowing the time that would be re-

barred all but those in the quota from

mustered. They were all provided with
chairs which practically filled the room.
Roll call was answered by rising.
One of the chief difficulties confront
ing the board was not to get enough
men. but to satisfy some who were not
in the draft but who were eager to
go. To make sure that enough would
be on hand from which to select the
quota. the exemption board had pur-
posely summoned a dozen or fifteen too
many Some of these no sooner found
out that they were not included than
they began to clamor to go. One said
he had come 500 miles to answer the
summons. and that he could not go
tback. The result was that four of those
not included were added. A few omis-
sions in the list added two or three
more.
1t was expected that the list to be
entrained would include 2s7 from this

BOLD ATTEMPT TO STEAL CAR.
Two Men Discovered Trying to Make
Away With Dr. Hansen's Auto.

Away With Or. Hansen's Auto.
Wakefulness on the part Of neigh
nors alone saved DR.. r. r. Hansen, 418
Park street, from the theft of his Hud-
son super-siN at 2:45 this morning.
The car had been removed from the
garage and taken out on Fifth street,
when neighbors made the discovery
and notified DR.. Hansen by phone.
Mrs. Frank Hull and her friend,
Miss Jones, who is with her during
her husbands absence in the army,
heard a noise in the Hansen garage,
which is in the rear Of the Hansen lot
and just east Of the lot on which the
Hull home stands. Miss Jones called
DR.. Hansen, while Mrs Hull went to a
window. saw the car in the street, in
front OF the George A Howe home,
| and called to the men.
What are you doing with that carp"
was Mrs. Hull's query to the men.
Nothing lady," replied one of
the men. With the reply both men left
the car and hurried away.
DR.. Hansen got revolver and
| started out Of the house, but the men
| were gone by the time he reached the
| street. He notified the police by tele-
| phone. and when asked IL he knew
who the men were, was given the
opinion Of the officer on duty that
probably 1t was some of the boys in
the draft who were trying to "get
! away"
The strangest thing about the theft
Is that 1t would have been, no trouble
at all to have taken DIR. Hansen's
Studebaker runabout. It was standing
outside the garage, under the shed
The men, however. evidently sought
the larger car. and entered the garage,
pushing tho car out and down the
alley embankment into Fifth street
The car was facing south when Mrs.
| Hull discovered 1t was in the street.

PAYING THE PRICE.

~The hand of the civilized world is
against Germany. Senator Owen pro-
poses that the allied and the neutral
world isolate Germany until she learns
she cannot rob by military force. By
an overwhelming majority the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
voted to unite in discrimination against
German goods after the war if the
menace of Germany's military autoc-
racy be not removed. If GERMANY
refuse to accept the peace terms laid
down by President Wilson within a
fixed time, then. for every week the
war is prolonged. Lord Sydenham pro-
poses that no German vessel be all
lowed to enter or leave any American
port, including the Panama canal, for
one year.
Whatever course the war NAV
take" says Lord Sydenham, '1et this
be fixed and irrevocable" In his ad-
dress of last December President Will
SON said that, if the Germany of in
trfgue and force be not utterly brought
10 an end. it should be shut out from
the friendly intercourse of nations"
Every day the economic plight of
Germany grows more Desperate Hun
ger stalks thru the land. Her states
men. and bankers stand appalled, be-
fore a debt whose interest charge now
almost equals the nations savings.
The moral world is against her. She

against humanity. No punishment
can be devised that will measure up
TO her deserts.

The Santa Fe Nuse,,r,
BY NIKSAH

The city of Santa Fe, capital of New
Mexico, is perhaps the smallest civ
IN the United States that boasts
museum which attracts tourists and
scientists from all parts of the worId
AS everyone knows, Santa Fe is a CITY
rlch IN historical associations. 1t is
one OF the two or three oldest cities in
the United States. 1t was tn. tern,in,'s
of the famous Santa Fe trail. Which,
carried heavy commerce half wav
across continent in wagons when
New Mexico was a part of Old. If
was the storm center of the struggle
between the Spaniards and the Pueblo
Indians. and was captured and sacked
by the natives in the seventeenth cen
fury.
Santa Fe differs most radically from,
other small towns with great histories
in that its inha bitants have ALWAYS an
preciated the historical values of their
environment. Altho long a frontier
town, Santa Fe has also long had a.
flavor of the culture of old Spain
about it; and there seems ALWAYS to
have been men of the highest intel
ligence and education there. Many of
the old Spanish governors left valua BILE
records and diaries. At later date
the novelist Lew Wallace lived in
Santa Fe and wrote his famous story.
Ben Hur'' in the city. Today there
are many men and women in Santa
Fe who are e/oreciative students of
the old towns past. They have found
ed a historical society, and this has
charge of the famous museum, which
contains SO many priceless historical
relics and archaeological specimens
Within the past few months the mu-
scum has been installed in new
building. which IL strfkingly designed

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of men in
Americas Fighting Service

In these days of undersea warfare,
when the blow is often struck with
out warning, new danger is added to
the already hazardous tasks of the
ships firemen-the men who must
make steam and sspeed far below the
water line. Speed is an essential in
beating the U-boat, and this requires
constant work. Recently the bottom
blow valve of a boiler was carried
away, on a vessel of the United States
navy. One of the crew was AIoysius
Fawcett. a fireman, first class. With
two others he made his way thru a
steam filled fire room. fought a pas
sage thru a hot cloud in the engine
rooms. Here he helped haul the fires
at a critical moment. The nerve and
quickness of the act saved the boiler
and the vessel from serious accident.
Fawcett enlisted in the navy in 1911
at Cincinnati. His next of kin is his
mother, Mrs. Caroline Lang of Cow
ingtOn, Ky.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am
young fellow in high school. I have
gone with a girl for some time. but
recently have met several others
can I get rid of my first girl?
There are number of young Ia
dies staying at our place and all are
jolly and full of fun. They tease me
numerically about my girls. where I
live and everything I do. They also
call me pet names I can't tell what
to do. What would you do in a case
like this? D.
Drop the girl gradually if you do
not like her any more. Start to go
with other girls, too. 1t would be
very unwise for a young man of your
age to go with only one girl.
Laugh at the girls when they tease
things than they suggest. Also call
the girls pet names. You certainly
can get as much fun out of the teas
ing if you try as the girls do.
Dear Mrs. thompson: (1) Don't
you think girl of II is old enough
to go with boys?
CD If a father objects to having
his girl go with fellows and a mother
doesn't. what should she do?
CD Is it proper for a girl to go
with a fellow if after she has gone
with him a while he doesn't ask her
for steady company?
A LONESOME GIRL.
Cd She is a little young, but an
occasional evening with one is all
right, 1 think.
ca She should be on the safe side
and wait until she is a little older
before going with boys Eighteen is
the age that is considered all right.
60 Yes, it is all right. The ma jor-
ity of boys do not ask for steady com
pany.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Cd I-haye
been going with boy for about eight
months. He seems to care for me. al
tho he is stuck on another girl and
this makes me very jealous What
shall 1 do?
CD He wants me to go to a partv
with him pretty soon. Shall go?
BABY DOLL.
% He cannot be very much in love
with the other girl and want to go
with you, too. Regard him as a friend
and go with him in that way.
Cd Yes. 1t is not your fault that
he did not ask the other girl.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Are white
SHOES and white pumps going to be
fashionable this simmer?
PEGGY AND SKINNEY.
They will be popular. White ox-
lords Will be more fashionable.
