All day today rumors of a battle IF

but boiled down to. real facts they

that a battleship had sighted svb-

ID. A. r.. ACTIVITIES

One of the most remarkable reports
on war work is that recently issued
by the National Society of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution,
through its war relief service COM
mittee, Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, chair
man, and which has been published in
bulletin form and distributed to the
State Regents by the publicity direc-
tor, Mrs. William Henry Wait. Dur
ing the year ended April, 1918, this
committee has distributed to the chap
ters 41,600 d. A. r. bulletins on war
time subjects and has also sent out
S0,550 pamphlets published by other
patriotic organizations on special fea-
lures of war work. The report of the
publicity director, which is compiled
from the reports of the State Regents
from A States and from the reports of
the regents from the Orient, Honolulu
and Cuba show that S9,415. 743.50 is
the total amount expended by the d.
A. RS for our army, navy and avia-
tors.
The total cash gifts for all our
Allies has amounted to $S6,964.79,
which is included in the above war
expenditure. This financial statement
does not include the sum of S26,672,
raised by one daughter for war chest,
nor of the $1,000 raised by one chap
ter for British war loan, or 81 400
raised by member of the society for
emergency fund to the auxiliary of

MANY WOMEN STILL ASLEEP.

Thousands of women in the u. S. A.
are not yet awake to the war. So
Ida McGlone Gibson, field worker for
the American Red Cross, has declared.
Sacrifice? Why. the women Of
America don't know what the word
meansl Let me tell you an actual
happening that came under my OBJ
servation
THE Red Cross is doing splendid
work among the refugee children, car
ing for them in every way. Some
weeks ago the workers decided to
distribute some sugar among a group
Of these children, for they were suf-
fering for need of It.
Each child was given one lump
from supply on hand, and then we
had to watch them to Keep them from
hiding ii to send to the soldiers at
the front"
The pseudo-patriotism of her coun-
try men and women who invest their
surplus wealth in liberty bonds and
war savings stamps and then think
they have done their full duty was
sternly criticized by Mrs Gibson She
asserted:
Neither the men nor the women
know what sacrifice really means.
They buy Liberty Bonds and War Saw.
Ings Stamps with the money they don't
need and then go home to a meal OF
white bread. all kinds OF meats and
sweets and think they are helping TO
win the war. They are violating the
rules laid down by Hoover every day

DADDY OF ALL FISH ST0RIE<
Here Is One That Will Make An,
Disciple of lzaak Walton Look
to His Laureis.

A reader has asked US to retell tG
story of the sixty-five pound catfish
which appeared original I'm the column
some six or seven years ago. We haT
always considered it the best fish stor,
we know. We trust the communitS
will permit us to repeat it.
AS we used to tell it, the story ran
something like this; We were fishing
for bass under the old mill dam in the
river, south of Grigsby City. Some
thing took the bait and lunged away
with 1t despite our efforts to hold II.
We surmised. correctly, that it was a
good-sized catfish or drum, and began
working it backward and forward
across the stream in the deep water
under the dam. Eventually we headed
the leviathan down stream and finally
stranded it in the shallow "ripple" be-
low. 1t could get neither forward nor
back, and with the help of half a dozen
other fishermen, who were watching
the contest we landed it. 1t proved
to be a monster cat of the yellow or
Mississippi variety, and weighed sixty
five pounds on the scales uptown

index Finger as Nut Cracker.

Nut crackers, which are based on
leverage, make us suppose that 1t takes
great strength to open a nut; and, in
fact, everyone knows from experience
that without such little machine it is
hardly possible to overcome the hard
ness of a nut. And yet one can oper
hundreds of nuts in a very short tim.
without any implement and withor
any effort whatever merely with tie
aid of the index finger.
Place the nut upon a stone or 9
block of wood, but so that the join,
stands perpendicular. In this position
hold it fast with the index finger o.
your left hand, strike with the right
fist hard upon the index and the nut
will at once break asunder. Light
blows will not accomplish the feat.
One must strike hard. 1t may happen
that the nut will fly away, but this
only proves that the joint was not held
in a perfectly perpendicular position.
which is indispensable to success. The
point of the nut should also be turned
toward the chest.

matter OF food conservation. The
grandson of the great French author,

might be used as text on which

AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

Bewitehing Dorothy Dalton, in an
intense drama of great heart appeal
entitled, THE Price Mark" will be
the very pleasing attraction at the
Colonial this evening.
Two Americans. Fielding Powell,
an artist. and Doctor Daniel Melfi, are
visiting in Cairo, Egypt. when Powell
becomes enamored by Nakhla, a ma
| tive girl. AS soon as her brother,
Hassan, a rug dealer, learns of the
affair, he poisons his sister and Sc
cretly attempts to take the life of
Powell
DR. Melf brings Powell TO New
York Immediately the latter is con-
valescent, and with them comes Has
san in the capacity of a servant to
Powell. Hassan hopes to kill the ar
|. fist and avenge the dishonor of his
sister for her relations with the inf
del. Powell is a successful and popu-
lar artist, and to his studio comes
Paula Lee, a beautiful young girl
from an Ohio town Possessed of an
unusually fine voice, the girl had
hoped 10 procure a theatrical engage
ment, but, failing in this effort, she
becomes a model for Powell He re-
Igards Paula as legitimate prey so
long as he provides her with the COM
forts of life, although he soon comes
to love the girl with a devotion so
sincere that he wants to marry her.
A misunderstanding separates Paula
and Powell, and she meets Doctor
Melf, who is ignorant of her previous
life in New York. Paula and the doc
tor are married-and are supremacy
happy. After a time the doctor invites
Powell to meet his wife. The mutual
recognition causes Paula TO fear that
Powell will disclose their former re-
lations to her husband, and Powell
threatens to do this unless Paula con-
sents to come to his apartment that
evening. In fear of exposure, Paula
agrees to Powell's demand, and later,
in the artists room. the girl makes
brave and determined fight for her
honor. In the midst of the tense
struggle between Powell and Paula,
Hassan sees an opportunity to avenge
the wronging of his sister. How he
accomplishes his purpose, bringing
happiness once more into the life of
Paula is shown in a thrilling climax

strong story delineating the career of
a doll-girl who later marries and
whose training has been of that char
acter as precludes the possibility of
her wrestling successfully with the
everyday problems of life which she
encounters. How her nature is trans
formed, and her soul rises to great
clarity of vision with dramatic re-
suits, is subtly revealed in a series of
