PLAYING OF QU0ITS
IS NOW PROHIBITED
General Pershing Has Put Bar
on Horseshoe Game.
Huskles Have Not Hesltated to Back
Horses Into Quiet Corner and Rip
Shoes OF Innocent Animals
May Use Mule Shoes.

The American army In France, It is
reported, has been embarrassed at va
rious times by the sudden breaking
down OF horses engaged In the trans,
rtrt service. Investigation showed
mat the horses were unshod, their
steel shoes having been removed mys.
feriously. Further investigation
showed that the shoes had been TAX
en on the animals by the doughb0ys
In order to pitch quoits nothing being
% good for the purpose as n horse
stOe.
Qu0its always has been great
American game. If II wasn't for
qroits and going to the "deepo" to see
tha 2 :38 come In, life would not be so
fascinating for prominent citizens Of
many bucollc burgs.
Over in France time hangs n bit
heavily around the camps occasionally,
and there has been a great revival Of
pitchln'." The more the game has
spread the more demand there has
been for horseshoes. Now, there Is
one thing you can say for the Amerl-
can doughBOy. When he wants any
ibing he goes and gets II, whether 1t
BE- Hun or n horseshoe. Various
thousands Of huskles. needing horse
shoes, have backed transport horses,
csvalry horses, all kinds of horses into
a corner and with little more than a
"whoa boy" OF preparation, have
ripped the shoes of the innocent ami
mails and then proceeded to get into
the game.
Mr.. John J. Pershing Is said to be
-hat Is called "peeved" He has Is
sued orders prohibiting the playing Of
quoits with horseshoes, on pain Of 80
days In the guardhouse for the first
ofense and three months imprison-
nent for the second.
II the doughboys wish to pitch
qLoIts, he says he has no objection,
Iut they must lay off the use of horse
shoes. He gives full permission to
them to take all the mule shoes they
desire, that is, II they take them Off
The hind or southern extremitles of the
gentle creatures.
i. looks as II 1t will be a closed sea-
son for quots In France so long as the
war lasts II Pershlng persists In look
HP at the great American game of
'1Jtch" this way.
Whoa, Maud From the Commerce
and Finance.

by the U. S. Department OF Agriculture
The war department has requested
the boys and girls clubs of the coun-
try to help collect fruit pits and nut
shells, the carbon In which Is used In
making gas masks. Contests have been
suggested among the million club men,
bers by the United States department
Of agriculture and the state depart
ment colleges, which conduct the club
work, to see which member, which
club, which district, and which state
can deliver the largest amount of ma
terlal In the shortest time. Each mem
ber should try to furnish at least 200
peach pits, or seven pounds Of shells
enough material for one mask.
Since more and better carbon Is
secured from the pits of peaches,
prunes and plums than from other
sources, boys and girls should make 1t
their special business to see that every
home In their communities saves the
pits Of these fruits. They should also
visit community and commercial can
nerles, hotels, restaurants and baker,
les. In addition, seeds should be col
lected from dates and olives, and shell
and whole nuts be saved from hickory
nuts, butter nuts, English and native
walnuts and hazelnuts. The material
may be delivered to the local Red
Cross headquarters, which are acting
as central stations for collecting and
shipping.
