QUEEN DIDN'T HiccoUGH

Queen Mary is very precise in CIV
ing the correct pronunciation to the
names of towns in the war zone in
France and insists upon others doing
the same. No matter whether the
Queen is listening to General at
the head of an army corps or to a
wounded Tommy in the hospital, she
interpolates her corrections automat-
ically when the name of town is
pronounced incorrectly.
The following story was brought to
New York recently by British staff
officer, who said it was related by the
Duke of Connaught in the officers
mess at Aldershot.
The Queen spends much time Wis
iting the wounded men in the hos
pitfalls and likes to hear their exper-
fences. There was a Sergeant in one
of the guard regiments who was Sc.
verely wounded near Ypres and had
received the Victoria Cross for his
bravery. The Queen heard about
him, and on her next visit to the hos
pital she sat by his bedside and
asked him to tell her all the details.
We'll, your Majesty he began, 1T
was just like this. We were at WHIP
ers' "Eep'," interrupted the Queen
land got orders to march out and
check the advance of the enemy. At
ter we left Wipers-"
"Eep," said the Queen again, and
every time he mentioned the name
of the old Flemish city she corrected
him without 1t having any effect on
the Sergeant, who called it "Wipers'
every time.
Next day the Duke of Connaught
said he had to call at the hospital,
and asked the Sergeant what he
thought of Queen Mary after his long
talk with her.
"The Queen is noble woman Sir
he replied, but what a pity she hic.

America viii
Aid Immigrants

1000 900 able-bodied laborers, 1t is es-
timated, who will be most useful in
augmenting the forces Of common
labor on the railroads and on the
farms The Department Of Labor
now permits Mexicans to enter the
country by any Of the Gulf ports and
also by Atlantic ports as far north as
Charleston.
The Bahamas also provide source
of common labor. The war has prac-
tically ruined normal industries in
the Bahamas by the havoc it has
wrought in the carrying trade, and,
moreover, the laborers there are with
in easy reach. 1t is thought that
large numbers can be brought to
America to work on the farms.
Porto Rican laborers are also eager
to work in America, where wages are
higher and working conditions bet
ter than on the island.
Many of these workers will be par
particularly valuable, for they have
a knowledge of sugar-cane handling
that makes their utilization certain
in Louisiana.
The closet cooperative community
effort, the most equitable distribution
of farm labor within States, the
whole-hearted effort of farmers to
"break in" new hands, and the i'm
portation Of as much Of the foreign
labor as possible will be needed to
maintain farm labor supply COM
mensurate with the increased pro-
duction demanded for 1919.

MAN KILLED BY TRAIN WAS
ROBBED, IS THEORY NOW

ATLANTA, Ga, April 17.-That the
body of William w. Therelkeld, a rail-
road man run over and killed by a
train in this city few days ago, was
robbed of $1,000 in cash by an un-
known man who went through his
pockets searching for some means OF
identifying him, is the theory on which
Atlanta detectives are conducting a
search for a stranger who was said
t. have reached the body ahead Of
everybody else, and quickly ratified all
the pockets.
Friends of the dead man claim they
saw him with a large sum of money
in bills of large denomination a short
while before he was killed, and they
believe his body was robbed as it lay
beside the railroad track A crowd If
spectators had packed around the body
when the undertaken got there, and
they claim to have seen stranger

PROVISION IS MADE
FOR CANNING SEASON

ATLANTA, Ga, April 17-Ample
provision will be made by the Food
Administration in this state for sup
plying sugar to housewives for can
ming vegetables and fruits in the can
ming season.
DR.. A. M. Soule, federal food admin
istrator for Georgia, in statement
given out here, declares it is not neces-
sary for housewives to begin hoard
ing sugar by purchasing in the five
pound limit at many different stores
and putting it away to be used when
the canning season rolls around
At that time the Food Administra-
ton will make arrangements for per-
sons needing sugar for canning pur-
poses to get an adequate supply.
