WORD FROM CANTEEN WORKER

In a note signed "A Canteen Work er." the following information is given concerning the shower baths to be in- stalled at the Terminal station for the soldiers
 Tt is deeply regretted, the prema- ture announcement of the shower baths being installed at the Terminal station for the comfort of the enlisted men, since the credit cannot be given before completion to the individuals and firms who have expressed interest and viii lingness to help in the enterprise. The magnitude of the undertaking is such that it would be difficult to manage by one person, and 1t was only un- dertaken because of the promise of hearty cooperation of many to whom the subject was suggested.
 When completed, full credit will be accorded to all who aid in its accom- plishment, but until then it would be impossible to give an accurate list of those who help.
 Since about 2O00 towels will ce needed to begin with in its operation, it has been suggested that a towe and soap shower would be in order before the opening.
 If left at the canteen room at the Terminal station, they would be re- ceived with much appreciation

PLATINUM UNDER
 CONTROL OF HUNS
(New York Times)

Charges that German interests con trol the platinum industry of the United States, that the attempts of the war industries board to conserve platinum have been inefficient, and that members of the jewellers vigil ance committee are "unpatriotic pro fiteers" were made by Representative Rainey of Illinois in an address in the House advocating the insertion of a prohibitive tax on platinum jewelry manufacture in the new revenue bill.
 Efforts of jewellers through their vigilance committee to conserve plat mum have failed miserably," MT. Rainey said. Dealers in platinum have made large amounts of money, he said, and many, while pretending to dis l courage the use of the metal, have compelled its use by discouraging sub stitutes. The German platinum firm of W. C. Heraeus of Hanau, through its branch in the United States, con trols the four firms in this country that produce so per cent of the platin- um supply, Representative Rainey said. adding that the American agent of the German firm, Charles Engel- hard of New York is an adviser of the war industries board on platinum.

JAN PRINT PICTURES FUR ALI OF PHOENIX
 WITH EQUIPMENT

A photographic laboratory complete in every detail, has been installed in the basement of the National Bank of Arizona building by the Central Drug company,
 We undoubtedly have the most mod ern and complete plant in the state for the development of films and the making of prints and enlargements," said Roy Wayland of the Central Drug company yesterday,
 Our development and fixing tanks are capable of handling 500 rolls of film per day, and at this time prob ably not more than 800 rolls per day are sold in Phoenix.
 The battery of printing machines we have installed will produce any humber of prints desired and in the shortest possible time. Our print washing tank, through its construc- ton, keeps the prints in a constant state of agitation fin fresh water con- stantly renewed, thus assuring our customers that their prints will he thoroughly washed and therefore per manent.
 The dryer, operating on much the same principle as a laundry mangle, | will dry an average of 1000 prints per hour, turning them out perfectly flat, and without that annoying tendency to curl so noticeable in prints produced by the old-fashioned methods, We use Nelox, the highest grade paper ob- tainable, for all our prints.
 Our enlarging machine is the most up-to date we could find on the mar Eet, and will produce the highest oual- | ity enlargements from any good ncga- tive, to as large a size as the quality of the negative will warrant. In fao< we have spared no expense in equip ping this model photographic labora- = tory to give our customers the bes. to be had in the line of development printing, and enlargements, and have employed a competent staff to handle it"

Letter Sent to Judge Presiding at
Victor Berger Trial.
Federal District Attorney and His

Anonymous Mail.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Cross-eXamina-
ton of Arnold Schiller, the first gov
ernment witness in the trial of Victor
l.. Berger and four other Socialist
leaders for conspiracy to violate the
espionage act, took up many angles,
but was mainly concerned with the
memory of the soldier witness.
Schiller told of having been arrested
and punished for being absent with
out leave from Camp Grant, but could
not remember the date Of the court
martial.
1t became known that Judge Lands
had received a letter threatening him
with death and containing abusive
threats against the President and full
limitations against the government.
The threatening letter received by
Judge Lands is said to have been sign
I'd "Sid," and to be scurrilous in
character. 1t was learned later that
anonymous threatening letters also
were received by Charles F. Clyne,
United States district attorney, and
Joseph B. Fleming, assistant United
States district attorney.

pennsylvania Dutch" that curious
combination of German, English and
Yankee, which since Revolutionary
times has developed in parts of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, is going into the
discard. For more than a century it
has been growing just as languages
always grow, with use. 1t has cor
rupted words, made words, created
forms, n might say a grammar Of
Its own. 1t has not, it is true, pro-
duced a literature. But it has been the
speech of a considerable number Of
persons in their homes. It long since
ceased to be recognizable as German,
and English it never was. In it, stu
dents tell us, are mingled German,
English, Welsh, French and even Gaze
lie words.
pennsylvania Dutch has been the
dialect Of those German disciples of
Peter Memo who came to America,
some Of them in pre-Revolution days,
seeking religious liberty and political
freedom. Some OF these went into
Ohio during Revolution days, others in
to Canada, some as late as Civil war
days. Their religious beliefs contrib
uted to isolation. And they we're large

knew nothing Of the deed until long
after it had occurred. He was con
victed with John II. Wilson, who has
little to say about the robbery except
that he also is innocent.
The robbery of the Citizens Nation
al bank at Glenwood Springs was one
Of the boldest in the criminal annals
Of Colorado. Two men hired horses
at a livery stable in the town and rode
to the bank, tying the horses in an
alley. They entered, covered Vice Pres
ident Drach and Bdokkeeper T. 3. Da-
Wis with revolvers and proceeded to
gather in $4,000 in cash.
At the trial Edwards was identified
as one Of the robbers. He made a
personal plea in his own behalf, de-
claring that the men who identified
him as a bank robber might be honest
in their statement, but, he said, II am
not the man they take me for" 1t
took him eight years to prove this
assertion. Edwards and Wilson were
sentenced to from 20 to so years for
the crime.
