Of our local governments immensely
and correspondingly increase the cost
in our courts to handle the additional
cases brought before them.
To obviate this the Council of De-
Tense plan was evolved. These coun-
ellis are made up of the best and most
representative citizens in each pre-
cinct. Their duty is to watch for and
report and investigate any disloyalty
or lawlessness in their precincts to the
executive committee of the Council.
After review of the evidence, if the
executive committee thinks the facts
warrant it, they notify the accused
party and witnesses to appear before
them and reduce the evidence to writ
ing, to be referred to the courts. In
this way they act as sitting COM
mittee for the courts, thereby reducing

Share Your Pleasures.

1t has been said that happiness
which has not been shared has no
taste. If the pleasant things which
come to you, somehow seem to have
no taste. off they seem rather flavor
less, perhaps this is the explanation.
Put gladness into another's life, divide
up the pleasures you have been selfish
ly enjoying. so that 1t will help two or
three, and your happiness will have
plenty of flavor.

SUBMARINE SCOUTS N|CKNAMED
"BL|MPS' BY AMERICAN PILOTS

The advantage that the Blimp has
over the seaplane Is that 1t can
stand still In the air. II a U-boat
dives down and lies out OF sight on
the bottom, the Blimp sits over 1t un-
til II decides to move on or come to
the surface. II the submarine does
not move, the Blimp is just as well
content. for In the meantime the
wireless has been at work, and
trawlers are coming up in the course
OF an hour or two with the neces-
sary equipment to smoke Mister Sub
marine out of his hole.
II the submarine rises before nav
al help arrives, the Blimp tackles 1t
alone, with bombs. If the submar-
inc tries to move away along the bot
tom of the sea, the Blimp follows its
shadow until II comes, sooner OF
later to shallow spot where 1t can
be effectively dealt with.
