Now the Navy ordnance, which has

months, has produced one-and given it

adopted this style of projectile, but no
one will say whether the number of
submarine fatalities has been increased
by its adoption.
These and other equally serviceable
devices for use in naval war are ready,
but they were begun soon after the
sinking of the Lusitania, and not some
time after evidence of German duplic-
ity in the resumption of ruthless sub
marine warfare. The Navy took no

RICHARDSON IN TROUBLE
Brigadier General Richardsor

Brigadier General Richardson, for merly stationed in charge of the road work in Alaska has been having his own troubles lately in his military work according to reports from the East. The order came ont recently for all officers to go into uniform, re- gardless of their work and the gen. eral was forced to have his made However that was very easy put when he tried to find saddle that would fit him luck went against him. He tried to borrow Taft's but Taft could mt find it. It is almost important to have a saddle made to order so the poor general was finally obliged to improvise one of a saddle cloth and stirrups. Gen. Richardson was once a splendid horseman but in his so- journ in Alaska gathered consider able avordupois and will have to re- duce. He inspects wide stretches of the Virginia landscape every day, so far with no loss of weight for himself and silence regarding the horse.

A PATRIOTIC PARROT.

During the conservation movement at Anchorage Al Shyman conceived a new regard for the intelligence of the bird they call the parrot. While act ing as a campaigner in getting food pledges. he approached house and knocking loudly on the door inquired whether the occupants would like to sign the food pledge. A rather high pitched and squeaky voice said "sure thing" MT. Shyman tried to enter and failed. He then went to a window and was amazed beyond expression when he discovered that the voice em- anated from the throat of parrot. He stated that the campaign must surely be a success when even the birds want to sign up.

ALASKA HEADS LIST

The Official Bulletin for January : gives a list of banner communities in regard to voluntary enlistments. Ore gon heads the list. No mention is made of Alaska or Washington. If close count had been kept of the men who registered in Alaska. and who left here for the outside for that pur- pose Alaska would have had undoubt- edly held the record. Manager Brad ley states that it is his belief that if Alaska is given credit for the volun- tary enlistment of the drafted men, her quota would have been filled and it would be unnecessary to have a drawing Few outside communities can excel the record already made by Alaska.

The Ketchikan Miner voices pro- test which is probably general thru out Alaska. One of its reporters wrote a lengthy article secured from a not ed educator and one of the westward papers comes out and prints the story word for word giving the credit to the associated press. No wonder the poor reporter raised meek voice in protest.

LIEUT.. FRED PULLMAN
 HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Airpiane in Which He Was Flying is Gunfire of Germans.
 Shot Down, and Later Destroyed by

Mother that story makes me have measles all over my body" said a lit tie tot who had listened to a thrilling , animal adventure story read by her older brother when trying to describe the sensations the story had engender- ed. Thus does one feel when he reads the experiences of Lieutenant Fred N. Tillman, son of Congressman John N. Tillman of this district who is in France and serving as an aerial photographer Thrice has he been shot down from the clouds and gass- ed once. Quoting from letter of Mrs. Tillman's to her brother, presi- dent J. D. Walker of the Mutual Aid Union, who in turn quotes from her son Lieutenant Tillman, the exper- fences of the young man are truly marvellous, says the Rogers Co-Opera- tive Press:
 We are sorry to learn of Lynn Shelton's Ga nephewl death. Knowing what I do of Fred's work it is little short of miraculous that he has es- capped thus far. On the second of June he was out with pilot to locate the Bosehes just before the last drive In order to get comprehensive pho- toeraph they were flying very low and their plane was shot down. The pilot was wounded and partially disabled but managed to effect landing be- tween the lines in No Mans Land 50 yards from the German trenches and 250 yards from the French lines. Fred pulled his pilot out of the wreekage and with great effort and risk car ried him 35 yards to wheat field where they laid down on their stom- achs, borrowing into the earth to await darkness. About the time they reached the field the signal had been given and the Huns turned a veritable hell of rifle and shrapnel fire on them. Their clothes were shot through several times, the plane was set on fire and burned up, but their drab uni forms and partially ripened wheat ef faced them sufficiently that the Ger mans finally assumed they had been killed and desisted Fred escaped un- hurt. He certainly bears a charmed life as this is the third time he has been shot down while in the air. Twice between the lines and he has been se- verely gassed once. This gives some
 idea of what our boys are having to endure lover there"

She has ever been an inspiration and tl.e greatest helpmate of my life" To be such a successful wife should be the ambition of every woman, but how impossible when dragged down by headaches, backache, dragging down
 pains. nervousness and "the blues" Every woman in this condition should start at once to build up her system

deficiencies which characterize the big-enrollment schools are too i'm pressive to ignore.
 Comparative results are likewise impressive. Crescent girls grow healthier in body and mind and they learn economy both of money and time and are useful as well as attrac- tive.
 It will be plain that tuition charges, including wholesome horseback rides, etc, may exceed those in the ordi- nary girls school but te difference is offset by te fact that in most schools there are found many useless ex- travagances in dress, etc., not found in Crescent College.
 So, finally, Crescent may be termed a society school. only because her girls learn their relation to society. to the family. and to the state, and because they will always belong to the best society.
 A few attractive rooms still avail able for Arkansas girls.
