COULD THEY BE "wETsw

From the Columbia Record.
 The Rev. Sidney J. Catts, whose sole contribution to the development of the state of Florida before he became gov ernor was four dollars in poll tax, is reported to have said that he closed one eye and held his nose when he voted for Wilson. And there are lots of folks in Florida who wish he had suffocated when he did 1t.

oNE.LEGGED DANCING SOLDIER.

ONESLEGGED DANCING SOLDIER. From the Come Back
 Armless, handless. footless and legless dancing is the latest war-born fad
 The dancer, of course, cannot be minus all these appendages, but at a series of dances now being given at the recon struction camp at Walter Reed general hospital, only war veterans who have lost an arm, leg, hand or foot are eli- gible for admission.
 The uniform alone will not admit the man and social standing and money are valueless.
 Doctors are authority for the statement that these dances are Q criterion show ing the adaptability of the American soldier. After the first few dances, 1t is said men seem to manipulate manu- factured limbs as easily as if they had come into the world with them.

BOYS ARE URGED
TO ENROLL
To Help Increase Food Pro-
duction of the Country

The office of the U. S. Boys
Working Reserve in the Old Fed
eral Building at 9th and King
Streets, Wilmington, Del, is re-
ceiving a number Of requests from
farmers of the State Of Delaware
for boys to work on farms. Most
of these boys are wanted at once
by the farmers, and the Reserve
has only been able to supply few
as the majority Of boys enrolled
for this work have been school
boys whose summer vacations have
not started. The State Director,
Mr.. Charles Warner. makes an APP
peal to all boys over 16 years of
age, who have no employment, to
enroll for this work. There are a
number of boys who do not attend
school and have 10 regular en-
ployment who should volunteer for
farm work as patriotic duty to
their country in this hour of dis
tress. There are also a number OF
boys employed in non-essential
work to the Government at this
time, who would be Of far more
value to their country if they were
to volunteer for farm work, These
should also apply for enrolment
in the Reserve. There is an en-
rolling officer in practically every
fair sized town in the State Of
Delaware. They are generally sit,
uated in the High Schools. The
enrolling office in Wilmington (for
boys who do not attend SCHOOL, is
in the Old Federal Building at 9Th
and King Streets.
The Reserve will keep in touch
with each boy placed on the farm
by having a representative cal
upon him and his employer at fre.
quent intervals. It will be the duty
of this representative to talk over
the work with the boy and his EN-.
ployer, the farmer, and give then
advice. 1t will also be the duty OF
the representative to inspect the
housing conditions, see that they
are satisfactory and that the boy
is we'll cared for.
Enroll now boys and you vii
never regret the assistance yor
have given your country at this
critical time.

chine shop in charge Of competent
mechanics and has equipment for

attained-by simply changing the
angle of the propeller cups, flight
in any desired direction can be
made.
The angle at which the propeller
cups are placed determines the di-
rection of the force generated by
the motor, hence you have steer
ing appliance as we'll as means OF
propulsion in the same device.
The running start of the ar
plane will be wholly eliminated,
perfect mastery of the machine in
ascent, flight or descent will be
obtained, and by this epoch-naking
invention the airplane will become
as practical and safe as the modern
automobile.
Plans are now being worked out
that may result in one OF the big
gest airplane factories in the coun-
try being built at Ardmore to manu-
facture the Hornespeed Flyer.

Case of Papavoine
Puzzles Authorities

Police officers are at loss to
know what disposition to make OF
Peter Theodore Papavoine, forty
years old, who was taken into Gus
tody at Lone Grove month ago.
When apprehended he was wander
ing up and down the railroad tracks
and acting in a manner to attract
attention. A. J. Hardy, county at
torney, had him closely questioned
yesterday by a man who speaks
several languages and it developed
that Hapavoine speaks German,
French, English and the Neither
lands tongue fluently. lie is not
inclined to discuss his affairs, but
tells of being in FL Paso, Fort
Worth, Sherman, Denison, and 9TH
er points in Texas, that he has
spent nine years in Mexico and has
continued his travels in California
and Colorado. There is, according
to the officers, question as to his
sanity.
