BILL TO NIP FUND
GATHERING UPHELD
Senator Ashurst Quotes an
Investigator to Show Vast
Sums Wasted.
SPEEDY ACTION WANTED

Senator Ashurst Of Arizona will ask
a speedy report on his bill requiring
that all persons or Organizations en-
gagged in collecting funds for the pur-
pose Of alleviating suffering conse-
quent upon the war be licensed and
placed under government supervision
He considers that an emergency exists
and quick. though not precipitate. &C.
ton is both advisable and necessary.
BY his plan. he believes, it would be
comparatively easy to rid the country Of
unworthy schemes and schemers. Many
persons, he says. were honest in their
alleged war work activities, but were
not competent. These should leave
to recognized agencies the work Of
collecting relief funds and admins
tering relief.
"Frittered Money Away"
II know of case where man and
his wife started a war relief scheme"
said Senator Ashurst. ''They collected
some $4,000 and accounted for only
two thousand. But they were not de-
liberately dishonest. They simply fritz
tered the money away.
"They had a suite Of rooms costing
priced secretaries, kept two high
powered automobiles with chauffeurs,
used the finest Of stationery, enter
tanned. and in other ways used up the
funds. They probably expected to COL
lect millions and charged these items
up to preliminary expenses"
The senator said he had some corre-
spondence with District Attorney
Swan of New York and introduced his
measure at the request Of that Off
ciaL He was supported. he said, by
the War, Navy and Interior depart
Endorsement Of the President.
"Mr. Swan told me that hundreds
OF millions had been wasted by dis
honest or incompetent persons who
w were w collecting ngnt money tor alleged
hurst. Many Of these persons and
organizations, If they did collect a
large fund, would be unable properly
to administer it. They have not the
training and they are without equip
Established Organizations.
1.-THE Red Cross. the Y. NJ. c. A., the
JS"lSH welfare bOarC, the salvation
Army, the knights of Columbus and
other organizations, uniting in an
appeal for war work funds, have fully
Established themselves in the conf
dence of the government and the pub
lie. These can be trusted both to col
lect and administer funds. But there
are many institutions which ought
to go out of existence or merge their
machinery and efforts with one of
these recognized organizations.
LAS far as 1 can see the government,
through one of it's departments, is
the only agency which can deal with
this situation and determine definitely
the character of an organization
soliciting war work funds Solicita-
ton for relief funds will not cease
with the war. Indeed, it is expected in
some quarters that peace will bring a.
greater demand for voluntary contri-
1--WE should get ready to meet this
situation in part by compelling all
organizations to meet a standard set
by the government. This would pro-
tect all legitimate organizations, and
1t would not bar patriotic citizens
from forming new organizations to
take care Of new and increasing
needs"

STATE NORMAL


The training school is glad to well
come President Heston home again.
President Heston, with all the Nor
NAL school presidents in the United
States, has been in a conference for
the Improvement of training teach
ers. He has put South Dakota on
the map of the National Education
association and the National Confer
ence of Rural Schools, held at Wash
ington, ID. c., and Atlantic City, N.
j. Nothing contributes more to the
standing of a school than to be rep
resented at these great educational
gatherings.
The junior class of practice teach
ers gave a party in honor of the in
coming teachers for the spring term
Wednesday evening. The party was
held in the auditorium of our new
building. Games and speeches were
the order of the hour, after which re-
freshments were served in the do
nestle science rooms. All directors
and supervisors were honored by be-
ing invited. The "get-together' at
mosphere these little social gather
ings create Is very worth while in the
school life of prospective teachers.
The call for teachers is greater
than ever this spring. Some de-
mands we are unable to fill, as more
full graduates are desired than we
have. This demand should inspire
many fifth-year students to continue
their work another year.
There will be a class in first grade
work beginning March Is. A num-
Der of children wish to enter at this
time.
Prof. Lawrence gave a lantern
lecture to children of the city ward
schools in the training school audito-
rum this afternoon at 3:15. He also
greatly pleased children and instruc-
tors with an illustrated industrial
talk this morning in the same hall.

Pierre, March SIN an effort to

uor across the Minnesota state line
into South Dakota the Northwestern
railroad is cooperating with state
and county officials against the willy
bootleggers..
Sheriff Johns, of Kingsbury coun-
ty, last night seized three loaded
suitcases when the westbound train
reached DeSmet. Trainmaster Sains-
bury, also on board, had spotted
them, but the owners had refused to
claim the baggage and as he was
without positive proof he caused no
arrests. Last week he seized AS
quarts in the same way, finding,
however. that in some instances the
loaded grips were placed on the train

moval was left to c~onfederates in
K%ingsbury county. 1t is said liquor
which was purchased for 50 a quart

standing reward of 500 for the con
viction of any b~ootleggers. The

SUFFERED PARALYSIS
RANCHER, LIVING ALONE, HAS
FEET FROZEN WHILE
IN BED.

Pierre, March s.-Lying in his
lonely farm house, slowly freezing
while paralyzed was the horrible ex-
perience of Theodore Kelmars, a
bachelor farmer near Okaton. While
in bed Helmars was stricken and was
unableto get out of his bed or build
a fire, and as the temperature went
far below zero at that time, he suf-
fered from the eve cold and
thoughts of helplessness. After the
suffering rancher had lain in this
condition for three days, a neighbor
came to the place to see about pur-
chasing alfalfa, and found out the
situation. Every assistance possible
was provided for the helpless man.
but his feet had been sc badly frozen
that it is thought likely that amputa-
tion will have to be resorted to.

TASTE OF GAS
BROWN COUNTY SOLDIERS GET
TING ACCUSTOMED TO HUN
POISON CLOUDS.

Aberdeen, March S.-Brown coun-
ty boys at Camp Cody have reached
the real stuff" stage in trench train
ing for the western battle front.
They are going to gas school this
week.
Private Bernard Harper, formerly
of Troop X, writes to his father as
follows: This week a good deal of
our time is devoted to gas instruc-
tion, kinds of gas, how used, what ef-
%fects. etc, and the fixing OF the gas
masks on the head. The time al
lowed to put these gas masks on is
four seconds. although, Of course, 1t
takes us several seconds longer yet.
Over there gas is sent w the lines
in two ways, either in clouds or by
gas shells. OF course gas clouds can
be used only when the wind is In the
right direction, but gas shells can be
sent over at any time and have a
greater element of surprise. The
gas officers here tell us that 43 per
cent of the shells sent over the lines
are gas shells so you see what an inn
portant thing is to get into your mask
in a hurry.
To-day we all had to 60 through
the gas house and get a sample Of
lacromonotory gas (tear gas). This
is an invisible gas which is not dead
ly. but IL one is subject to a great
amount it causes big tears to come to
the eyes and if We were in 1t long
enough ii would cause our eyes to
swell and close shut, which would
make one blind for a couple of days.
We got this gas in a light form and
were allowed to remove our masks
for a minute to get an idea of what
it was like. 1 think l know now. l
didn't offer to go back. l came out
crying like everyone else. Tears the
size of ~baseballs.
Tomorrow we will probably be
put in a o of chlorine gas which
is deadly, but won't be allowed to
take off masks"

How to Make a Real
Wrinkle Remover

In these days OF cleverly advertised
"beautif1efs" and .'rejuvenators"" it is
hard for a woman to believe she can
make simple home remedy for the re-
moval Of wrinkles which will do her
much more good than the average
made preparation. There's nothing in
the world so effective for. erasing or
preventing wrinkles, age marks, baggi-
ness of cheeks and chin as a simple
and harmless solution made by dissole-
ing an ounce of,pure powdered saxolite
in half pint Of witch hazel. These in
gradients of course can be had at any
drug store. Use the mixture daily for
a while as a refreshing wash lotion.
The quick and satisfactory results will
surprise you. Even the first application
produces very marked improvement.
The wrinkles are less in evidence and
the face has a firM, ysoiid" comfortable
feeling. Soon yor Will look consider
ably less than your age.
