Kings county; Murray Hubert, ap-
pointed dock commissioner by Mayor
Hylan, and Congressman Bruckner,

RIGHT DUST BATH MATERIAL
Road Dust Has No Particular Advan
tage Over Any Dry Earth-Light
Sand Is Favored.

The supplying of material for dust
bath during the winter months must
not be overlooked. While road dust Is
all right il gathered where there Is
but little filth, it has no advantage
over any dry earth for this purpose
There is probably nothing better than
Light sand, which if gathered when
thoroughly dry or dried by the fire,
can be stored under cover and can be
handled any time during the winter
when a fresh supply is needed. Ii q

EDITORIAL
NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD.

II must have occurred to great
many people, in reading the newspaper
accounts OF the lenient methods adopt
ed by the government authorities In
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying of this trade by German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service in the army of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed
so far has been against an officer OF
the United States army who volun-
tarily announced that he could not do
Justice to himself or his men In lead
ing them against his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side
A man who is convicted of being a
leader in the spy plots against Ameri
'~can lives and property is given a
prison sentence less than that usually
melted out TO an embeZzling clerk
Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kill
ing of more American boys than could
he accomplished by an entire German
regiment, are pleasantly interned In
quarters where they are provided. with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are upholding the
Stars and Stripes in No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard to appreciate. The country Is
at war and war is not "civil" matter.
A man who conspres to place bomb
In an American troop-ship or vessel
carrying much needed supplies to oul
allies is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer In the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets. Why, then, should we trea'
these vipers as offenders against tn
civil law? Let's order out the firing

LIVER DIDN'T ACT

Says 65 year Old Kentucky Lady, Who Tells How She Was Reved

UNIQUE PAsT|nE
EVOLVED BY GIRL
Clever Richmond Lassie lnvents new
Game That Fascnates And
Brings Her Big Finan-
ciaI Returns.

The recent story of the Richmond
girl, who is teaching her sweetheart
thrift and aiding her country at the
same time that she is laying the foun-
dation for her own future happiness,
has brought to light the interesting
experience of another girl who is fol
lowing a somewhat different course
to the same end. She has made saw
ing a game that Is proving as fascinat-
ing as It Is novel and already she is
able to see the practical benefits from
the experiment.
Until recently she had never been
able to save consistently and it was
only after some hard thinking that
she hit upon the plan of taxing all OF
her expenditures upon a sliding SOLE.
This scale fixes a five per cent. tax
on clothing; a ten per cent. tax on
articles of luxury, such as feathers
wells, silk stockings and other frills
and furbelows; and a twenty-five per
cent. tax on other Injuries, such as
matinees, concerts, books, candies,
drinks, etc.
She keeps her daily taxes in
separate compartment of her purse
along with Government Thrift Card
and as soon as she has sufficient to
buy Thrift Stamp does SO and sticks
1t upon her card, She began the
practice soon after the inauguration
of the War Savings Campaign, and
already Is working on her fifth card.
The game has proved Almost fascinat-
ing one, and she has been surprised
at the way the small taxes mount
upward. BY stinting herself slightly,
especially during the time when all
luxuries are so high-priced, and when
so little can be secured from the out
lay, she hopes to save sufficient to
| purchase the maximum War Savings
Certificates permitted by the Govern
| ment.
This young woman realizes that
every penny so invested is bringing
her interest at the rate OF four per
cent, compounded quarterly, and that
she can secure her money at any time
1t is needed by giving ten days no
tice to her postmaster.
Ambitious girls throughout Virginia
are adopting similar Thrift Plans anc
not only are reaping financial benefits
Prom them hit also are paving the
way for future accomplishments anc
at the same time are giving the
greatest possible aid to the Govern
ment. The purchase of the Thrift
Stamp Is the best way to begin, al
though that can be improved by max
ing the first purchase today.

Dog Came Back, but He Did Not Have
the Necklace.
Caroline Ruben, the little daughter
of I. H. Ruben of Minneapolis, was
sitting in her fathers automobile on
Nicollet avenue. Her pet fox terrier,
Trot, was with her.
The little girl was wearing q neck
lace that had belonged to her great
grandmother. Just for fun she took
1t off and put 1t around Trot's neck.
Just by chance Trot saw a dog he
didn't like and jumped out of the car
and chased it. Trot came back In a
few minutes, but the necklace did not.
