was in another part Of the county on
the morning that Eva Roy was killed.
In several other particulars the story
of Willie Worster was not as he
stated while under the. grill" in the
Staunton Asylum for the Insane.
The most convincing evidence to
the authorities as eliminating Wor-
ster from the mystery Is the fact that
he ate dinner with a Mrs. Weller, in
Fairfax, and remained at her house
until about 5 o'cleck. in the afternoon.
Her husband yerihes the story.
HIS movements ieariler, inythe day
are not so cleaf 10 the adtkoritIes,
but in the event heidi not ride
across country in an automobile ne
could not have been the scene of
the crime when It was presumed to
have been committed.
A ten-year-old boy, who works at
the garage. is positive that worster
was at the garage, because worster
assisted him in stacking oil barrels,
and after his return from Mrs. Wei
ler's, rode with him 70 the station
some miles distant, where the barrels
were delivered to a freight house for
shipment.
Boy Saw worsteF.
The boy claims to have seen Willie
worster trying TO remove fresh paint
from his Boy Scout uniform. which
had been rubbed from the oil barrels.
The boy declares that il was paint,
because he saw it and saw where it
rad been gotten from the barrels.
This statement cmlears up a clue
that also attached Worster to the
crime. But 1t also conflicts with the
statement Of Worster, who says that
on the morning OF the murder Of Eva
Roy he had on a white pair of trous-
ers and did not change to the Boy
Scout uniform until the following
day, when he was arrested

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPl
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know Of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking. we should say ciga.
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok.
ers Of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name. LUCKY
STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the favor of the tobacco
but it seals in this favor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have = cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, In most instances. that is the first
thing asked for. ADV.

tralia at the close Of the European war

ent Of the Victoria department OF

ALL IN FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Every Man, Woman and Child In Tire
United States q Charged With
Sacred Duty.

A war machine, today. is America.
Travelling the road of Success, It IL
bound for Victory.
With the direction Of the machine
we have, most Of us. little to do. We
must trust the man ut the wheel Of
State to drive forward with speed and
care.
But with the condition Of the ma
chine itself we are implicitly con-
cerned. For its effective operation we
are every one Of US responsible.
Every American is, In fact, an essen
tial part of the mechanism which Is
to carry the world forward to q new
era Of liberty.
But the motor, alas, Is not yet
"tuned up" It rattles badly. Loose
and i~mperfectly assembled, 1t knocks
and overheats.
Why? Because SO many of us are
still careless and confident, Indifferent
to u duty as citizens. In one week,
for instance, there were reported 537
violators of the lighting regulations in
New York. There still are %profiteers,
still women who knit colored sweaters
for their WI use. still persons who
repent scandalous rumors, lettering
the Cause. Tightwads and slackers
still abound. No wonder our wal ma
chine is still Intellectual. It needs the
regulation of a national conscience.
How then shall we tighten up the
screws? This way: Every citizen
must see to 1t that his part is well
done. We must stop all ~leaks-econO-
mize In light, coal, wheat, beef and
sugar. We must get more mileage,
give up pleasure and profit, knit, work,
inspire others, insist that all obey the
law, and watch out for spies. The
motor must have fuel-subscribe to
the Liberty loan. Lubricate the ma
chinery with contributions to the Red
Cross!
There is. In short, only one thing
upon which We must all concentrate
Success! And Success will not come
until every man, woman and child
realizes his W vital responsibility in
the prosecution Of this war as q great
crusade for universal democracy.
Are you doing everything in your
power to help win the war?-helping
In every way and every day? Do you
feel that nothing matters except VIC
tory?
If we do not Winchester!
When everyone regards his obliga-
lions as deeply as If he were an en-
listed soldier and fights in his own
way the civic battle of patriotism,
then, and not till then, will the Amer
lean war machine bring us to the
longed-for end-universal peace

Nearly every class or design Of yes

For instance, the old type Of singie-bot-
tom steamer, with few or no bulkheads
almost Invariably founders on more
or less Of an even keel, which means
that they sink level.
The case Of q modern vessel, which
n built with numerous subdivisions,
founders with her bow or stern high
out Of the water; or with q heavy list
to one hide. The bulkheads prevent
the water which enters the vessel from
finding the level; consequently. when
