vances In wages as from last October.
Female machine operators fifteen
years Of age and over are to receive

British National Anthem.

The authorship Of the British Ma
tional anthem furnishes one Of those
evergreen subjects of dispute which de-
light the soul Of individuals whose Joy
1t Is to write letters to the press, OBJ
serves British exchange. Probably
there will also be conflicting evidences
on the question, but the common opin-
ion now is that Henry Carey. who died
in October, 1743, was the author. At
any rate. Carey sang the song as his
own composition at a dinner party In
COrnhill, while shortly afterwards he
approached publisher with the manu-
script. 1t was not at once accepted,
and seems to have been first sung In
public In 1745-two years after Carey's
death.

A genuine American invention orig
mated at Rocky Ford. where a melon
grower named Burrill. with the fac
ulty Of inductive reasoning. found out
that q clear, rich OIL can be expressed
from the seeds Of cantaloupes, notes
the Chicago Tribune. He submitted
samples to government chemists at
Washington, who notified him that
their tests indicated new table oil Of
the same texture and color as olive OIL,
one which needed no refining process.
There is wide significance In this dis
covery. which indicates melons. squash

the Infancy OF seeysrnsuent none was
more picturesqne than Henry ~ qf
Germany. And he Suffered pcvhafs
the greatesr huuniiiation that ever was
visited upon'a king. writes Q historian.
Gregory vN became pope In the sew.
enth decade Of the eleventh century.
The election did not please Henry IN
the least. Under the pllfered title 81
Roman King he claimed share I'm pr

treated lightly. But Gregory persuad-
ed him to confirm his elevation. Then

and Henry's partisans unscated the
pope. who retired to Canossa, In the
Apennines.
Gregory retaIiated on Henry by
welding that most powerful weapon
of the church-excommuni This
casting out Of the faith was the most
feared of all fates In ancient days, and
even Henry's closs advisers fell away
from him. The king faced the storm
bravely enough. but things went
against him and he decided to pro-
pitiate Gregory. SO, In the midst OF
winter he crossed the Alps, . truly pro-
digious undertaking In those times. and
presented himself before the castle
where Gregory was staying. asking au-
dience. At first Gregory refused. but
then consented on condition that Hen
~ dismiss all his attendants and enter
alone. The German compiled and
quilted his suite to go inside the walls.
Further on he came to q second gate.
where he was told that the pope had
ordered him divested Of all his regal
ornaments and clothing before proceed
ing. Henry reluctantly consented, and
received In exchange q coarse woolen
tunic. Wearing this, he passed through
the gate. thinking his troubles over.
But there remained q last gate and q
fnal trial. For three days and nights
he was kept standing outside the gate
In severe weather. fasting from morn

time Gregory finally had the kinl

WEAR YOUR BUTTON

The Liberty Bono button is the most
valuable single aid to securing addi'
tional subscriptions for bonds, 80
every bond owner is requested, by the
Executive Committee of this district
to wear his owners button all during
the fourth campaign, beginning Sep
TENDER 2Sth. The button has always
stood out as concrete proof of a mans
patriotism, and got to be the custom,
as soon as you face a man, to glance
down at his coat lapel, and if you did
not find there the badge of Liberty
Loan patriotism, the expression OF
your face at once communicates a sig
nificant thought to the other party. In
many thousands of cases, this thought
found expression in words, so that be-
fore the end of the Third Loan cam.
paign, it was as dangerous for a man
to be seen without a Liberty Bond but
ton as it was last Sunday for him to
be seen j%oy-riding in an automobile.
The Executive Committee has there
fore decided to use the button during
the Fourth Campaign ever more prom
inently than in the Third. A de.
sign of button will, of course, be used,
so that one will not be able to claim
that he has done his duty in the
Fourth Campaign by showing a but
ton of the previous campaigns.
Hereafter, there are to be only two
places where a Liberty Bond button
may be secured. The first is a bank
or trust company, where the button
will be handed to the purchaser of q
bond as soon as he has made a first
payment. The second place is at the
industrial plant or other places where
one is employed, and where the pay
ment for his bonds is deducted from
his wages. Employers in such cases
will be given buttons, and authorized
to hand them to employees as soon as
authority has been given for taking
from their wages payments for Liber.
ty Bonds. !
Solicitors will not be permitted to
take cash for bonds during the forth
coming campaign. Any solicitor who
asks for cash, and gives you a button,
is not authorized to do so, and should
be reported at once to Liberty Loan
headquarters.
The wearing of the Liberty Bond
button will be considered the one
proof of ownership of a bond of the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Therefore, II
you wish to protect yourself from en-
barrassing looks and questions, be
sure to get your button early In the
campaign, and don't fail to wear Il
constantly.
The campaign opens September 2sth
and runs three weeks to October 10Th.

UNCLE SANS NEEDS

More than ever before Uncle Sam
is going to call upon his loyal citi-
zenry this year for their financial as
sistance. More than ever will it be
necessary to a speedy winning of the
war, the saving of American lives,
and the insurance Of peace and con-
tinued liberties to the world at large.
Uncle Sam has a tremendous job
ahead of him. He must needs ask un-
usual sacrifices at the hands of the
people. And the people must respond.
"Of every IS earned in this country
this year $3.50 will be needed by the
United States government to pay its
war bill, and the government has got
to get it." declared Lewis b. Franklin.
national director Of the war loan or
ganization, a few days ago in an ad-
dress to Liberty Loan workers In
Cleveland.
Mr.. Franklin had come from Wash
ington for the one purpose of making
this talk. He had at his fingers ends
the latest plans OF the government.
the latest estimates of probable ex-
DelSt, IL NOliplClc huOWieusc OF me
situation. He spoke with authority.
Uncle Sam expects to spend $24,
100000 this year. OF this amount
Liberty Bonds will produce $4,000
100000; Thrift Stamps $4,000, 100000.
and taxes $1,000, OO0, 900. 1t is expect.
ed that the productive capacity of the
country will be somewhere in the
n~eighborhood of S70,000,O O0, 900.
SO it will behoove everyone of MS
to practice at least a moderate econo-
my as we go along. Twenty-four bill
lions seems a tremendous lot of mon
ey, but we can raise it. The American
public yet has to fail to rise to the
occasion.
But it means that thousands who
have been lodging the bond counter
heretofore will have TO waltz up and
lend their help. 1t means that Won
and l will have to help round these
up.
Moreover that we will have to In.
crease our own offerings.
Let's get ready to do both. !,

WIN THE WAR IS SLOGAN OF
 BODY OF MEN

DETROIT, Mich, April 3. -- The Worlds Craftsmanship Congress will hold it's third annual convention III De. troit from April 24 to 27 and che key note Of the gathering will be- win the war" The congress comprises the sales managers and business directors fl almost every great industrial and commercial enterprise in the United States. Instead of meeting here in mid summer, it's usual convention time the congress decided on spoing con vention so that interchange of ideas and suggestion should be effected as quickly as possible.
 Virtually every speaker at !hc con gress will discuss war topic. "Busi- ! css and War" or "The Wlr and Ep5- mess" will be the basis for addresses upon variety of Salesmanship prob lens.
 Tn past years many salesmanship clubs, which are affiliated with the congress, met with the national or yanization, and held depa, tmental meetings. This plan has been aban- doned for the present. The coming convention will be for the heads or autho, !g, d representatives If brs ncss concerns which are members of the congress and each session will be a general one.
 Herbert N. Casson, of London, Eng land, magazine publisher, is to make the leading address at the opening of the congress. Mir. Casson is to discuss the problems which confronted blSi- ness in England at the outbreak of the war and is expected to point out how British business men adjusted their industries and organizations to meet war conditions.
 An official list of topics which are JO De ulSCunSGu tI IilS SOiiS iSSo HI cludes the following:
 "ro win the war, can the nation do without the individual business man?
 Must the war be waged entirely on present savings, not earnings?
 What businesses are non-essential :?
 "Is enough consideration being giv- en to the difficulty of starting up a business that has been shut down?
 "Is enough consideration being giv- en to the fact that we are preparing for temporary and not permanent war?
 "Is so-called American extrava- gance national asset or liability?
 Does the collapse of the rail- roads argue the possibility of na- tional industrial paralysis ?"

GAS SUPPLIED
 ID TROOPS AT
 CAMP KEARNY

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, Cal, April 8. - The traditional camp ire has no place in Camp Kearny, where the Sunshine Division Is pre- pairing for its work abroad. Cook with Gas" is the motto in the kitchens and "heat with gas"' might be the motto in the offices and assembly, places which require heat. Gas ranges are in use wherever there is need, except in a few minor ones, where electric heaters are used.
 The gas comes from the San Diego municipal supply, being piped> to the amp. Similarly modern arrange ments prevail as to electric light, there being wires and electric fixtures in every building and tent where there is a permanent light soarce. Some of the stable warehouses, anC SO forth are equipped with lighting facilities.
 The Camp water supply is the same as that in San Diego, being drawn from the city mains and raised by 2 series of booster stations" to the level of the high plain on which the camp is situated Each station has it's cleo tric motor and results, sanitary oftic- CTS at the camp say, have been very satisfactory, as an ample supply of pure water has been available at all times. A reservoir of 100000 gal lon capacity, located on high ground near the camp, provides a reserve supply in case of emergencies, such as failure of a motor at one of the boost stations. It has not been nec- eSsary to draw upon this reserve sup ply in any great degree since the wa ter system was completed.

The Oceanographic lnsti- ute has no knowledge of deviation of the gulf current but is unable to either confirm or deny the report since it's researches have been interrupted since the beginning of the war.
