SAMUEL CLARIDGE
Celebrates His goth Birthday,
Dec. 5th, at His Home
in Thatcher

A most delightful birthday
party was held Thursday eve-
ming, December 5th, at the home
of Patriarch Samuel Claridge, in
Thatcher, when a large number
of his descendants joined him in
the celebration of his ninetieth
birthday. Had all his descend
ants been present, they would
have numbered 101, but or ac-
count of the influenza, only one
third were present.
A sumptuous dinner was
served, followed by a very enjoy
able program.
Mr.. Claridge gave an interest
ing account of his mission in Eng
land, with President Joseph F.
Smith and Bishop Nibley, in 1877.
He also told of his mission to
the Muddy and ten years he
spent in the United Order, at
Orderville, Utah, and related
many other amusing experiences.
One instance in particular,
which he related, concerned the
figure g." Some years ago, he
read in the Deseret News, where
Queen Victoria was telling of
the prominence of the figure ''9''
in her life. Looking back over
bis life. he also found that the
figure ''9" was particular figure
with him, and related the fol
lowing:
10Th of October, 1895. My mother
had fourteen children and ! was
the ninth child. l was married
in l849. to Miss Charlotte Joy,
who was born in 1919, the same
year as Queen Victoria. Our first
three children were all born on
the 10th of the month, Mrs. A.
W. McCune being the second.
Il left England on the 10Th of
January and arrived in the Salt
Lake valley on the 10Th, 1853.
Il was ordained one Of the
seven Presidencies in the 49th

and drainage or other special treat
ment of swampy lands. In connec-
ton with it's campaign the Peruvian
government will import annually what

exempt from import duties and port
charges. Individuals and institutions
are to be enabled to purchase this
quinine from the government at cost

John Lavery, the famous artist, had
a funny experience at Newmarket
some time ago. On that historic race
course, bookmakers are forbidden to
put up stands or display boards. But
the famous academician only wanted
to sketch the course, and, as he was
staying With Derby, he went bold
ly and set up his easel.
But ne reckoned without the race
course policeman, who told him to "get
out of It," mistaking his easel for a
stand. As he had not got written
permission. he told the policeman he
was guest Of Lord Derby; but the
unbelieving bobby only said: Same
old yarn. They all do it Come out
of itl'' And Mr.. Lavery had to "come."

Indians Like spectacIes.

Members of the Ute tribe of Indians
In Utah have recently acquired the
habit of wearing spectacles, much to
their own delight and to the profit
Of an optical salesman who was in
their vicinity. A chief started the style
by purchasing pair of yellow-lens
glasses from the white man, and in a
few days so many Indians demanded
similar adornments that the drummer's
supply was exhausted and he had to
send for more, says Popular Mechan-
les magazine. It is said that there are
nearly two hundred men, women and
children in this tribe who now possess
spectacles. Some indicate their social
position by wearing three pairs at a
time. Glasses with heavy tortoise-shell
rims have proved popular. These In
dams were on their way to attend a
powwow In New Mexico, and it is
thought that they wanted their new
adornment especially for this occasion.

ALL ALUMINIUM FROM BAuxITE
Clay Also Contains Vast Quantities of
the Metal, but No Way Has Been
Found to Get 1t Out.

Bauxite is a mineral that contains
aluminium in a combination which the
electric furnace will tear apart, thus
producing the metal. Clay also con-
tains it in vast quantities, but the trick
has not yet been turned to set free
the aluminium in clay. So bauxite is
used.
There are large deposits of it in
France, in the territory behind the Ri
viera.. Before the war these deposits
were principally held and exploited by
thrifty Germans, who shipped the ore
into Switzerland, where a German
owned plant reduced the ore by cleo
tricity obtained from Swiss waterfalls
and produced the metal. This was
then shipped into Germany and large
ly used to make the tips Of shells
which are shot over into France again.
The rings made by wounded French
soldiers or sailors Of France in the
trenches and sold here for the benefit
of orphans are thus very likely to be
made Of metal mined in France,
smelted in Switzerland, and manufac-
tured into munitions in Germany.

FEW WOUNDS BY COLD STEEL
shrapneI and Shell Fragments Cause
Greatest Trouble Owing to Greater
Danger Of infection.

Much Is said about the comparative
~ unimportant part played by cold
steel in the present war. The follow
ing passage from the article on "Sur-
gerry, Military" in the New Interna-
tional Encyclopedia, would seem to In
dictate that conditions had not changed
much in that respect since the Franco
Prussian war; also that the general
classes of wounds remain essentially
the same.
"Shrapnel wounds are like those of
the old round leaden musket balls, be-
cause Of their low velocity they are
more frequently lodged in wounds than
are rife bullets. Shell wounds, as a
class, are much less frequent, but far
more severe than shrapnel wounds.
Shell fragments cause complete de-
struction near the bursting point, but
effect less damage in more distant
zones. Both shrapnel and shell
wounds are usually infected, because
the missiles carry into the wounds
pieces of clothing and other foreign
matter. The danger of infection is
much increased because of the greater
extent of laceration. Wounds by bayo-
net, saber and lance occur so infre-
quently as to be of minor interest. Dur
ing the France-P russian war there
were only 800 wounds by cold steel
among $4,000 wounded. Grenades,
thrown by hand, rife and trench NOR
tar, revival in late wars of an earlier
practice, recently have been used to
a conspicuous extent in Flanders and
France. Their wounds differ in no
material particular from those Of shell
fragments and subterranean mines."

FACE DEATH TO AID WOUNDED
Surgeons, Ambulance Men and Nurses
Display Great Bravery In Work
on the Firing Line.

One Of the splendid pages of this
wars history will be written in letters
of gold on the scroll Of what physi-
clans, ambulance men and nurses have
done. Lieut.. Harold Peat, Cana
dian who has seen two years of serv-
Ice on the French front, told au-
diences in Indianapolis that 971s per
cent of the wounded men are saved,
and many of them are made so COM
pletely fit that they can return to the
firing line. 1t is not alone because Of
the perfection Of surgery that this re-
suit is possible. 1t is more because
of the bravery and the sacrifice Of sur
geons and their helpers.
In the early stages Of the war, when
the dressing stations and the tempo
rary hospitals were farther removed
from the front, and out of the range
of enemy guns, physicians observed
that large number Of soldiers were
dying who, with Immediate attention,
could have been saved. Many Of them
bled to death before they reached the
dressing stations. There was only one
thing to be done. The surgeons and
their assistants, guided only by sense
of the high duty Of their calling, did
that thing. They moved forward, es-
tablishing dressing stations in and i'm
mediately behind the lines and in some
instances erecting their hospitals with
in range of the enemy fire.

WHEN ONE MAKES MISTAKES
Extenuating circumstances Are usu-
ally Cited as Excuse for the Ma
Jority of Blunders.

The average fair-minded man ad-
mits that he makes mistakes at times,
but, and there always Is the extern
uating "but" when we seek to ex-
cuse our failures, he believes, even II
unconsciously, that the mistakes that
others make are bigger mistakes than
his, says the Charleston News and
Courier. Deep down In our hearts the
roots of self-complacency strike-so
deep, In fact, that with most OF us
1t is useless to try and pull them out.
At those rare times, when we see
ourselves as others see us, when we
begin to understand that we are at
fault to a larger degree than the other
man, we may make an honest effort
to overcome the disposition to, yield
to dissatisfaction, but unless we
work hard and patiently and perse-
veringly we win find ourselves forever
falling back into the old habit. 1t is
so easy to criticize something that
another person does that fails to meet
our approval, and SO entirely natural
to think that we would never be
guilty of a like weakness
We might have made mistake, we
argue. but we would have discovered
the error in time to correct it, and
certainly we never would have blum
dered to the extent of our neighbor.
How do we know what we would have
done in similar circumstances. how
ever, and why should we assume po-
sition Of superiority which in truth
we are not entitled to assume? 1t is
enough for us to concern ourselves
with out own failures, our own mis-
takes, our own shortcomings, and to
leave to others the readjustment Of
their own lives.

LIKE A RATTLESNAKE.
bheIl Has About the Same Effect,
3Writes American Ambulance
Driver at Front.

81
Norman Lee, an eighteen-y ear-old
volunteer driver for the American Red
Cross ambulance in France, throws a
sidelight on gas shells in letter writ
ten NEAR scissors" and just received
here.
"The boches dropped few gas
shells over about midnight" he writes,
slave you eyer heard a rattlesnake!
Well, gas shell has the same effect.
No one has to tell you what it is; you
know. 1t just goes put and let's out
a greenish vapor. That's enough
down in the 'dugout' put on your
masks and wait until the boches are
finished. But it's CHASTITY scene, one
candle burning and everyone sitting
around with masks on; the cat hugs
the fire, while James, the medicine
dog, has his mask on, too-it's spe-
cial one-and he knows enough not to
paw it off. He's real war dog.
During these sessions there is al
ways an official 'sniffer,' who has to
take of his mask every once in a
while, go to the door and see whether
the stuff is still around. The other
day we were in doubt, so we, threw the
cat out. She came back so quickly
that no one had any doubt that it still
was there.
"Oh, it bothers me-that gas-more
than the shells. It's pretty rotten
way to make war"
