Sugar II to IS Cents a Pound.

In these days Of tribulation, when
everything rises but fathers wages, we
all very consistently bemoan the high
cost Of livino. But this, observes Pop
ular Science Monthly, is not the first
and only time that prices have been
high. During the Civil war wages ran
from SLIP day for laborers to 50 a
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent a shave from cost
ing 10 cents or a haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates were $3.50 to 81 a day,
and ice, which was considered a great
luxury, was supplied at so cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was the chief bone Of
contention in those days, too, and 1t
cost II to Is cents a pound.

On Herschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer. the Eskimos had q sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct
ed by an invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of a God. They
had no belief in a future life, either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious, truthful, kind to their
children and TO the aged. They are
ambitious to learn; they are practical,
extremely Industrious, sanitary in
their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity Is unknown, but tu-
berculosis is common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care Of their house

neatly repaired. When on Herschel
island or at Fort Mcpherson, they eat

blubber raw and in winter frozen. They
like food cooked, but 1t is a matter Of
indifference to them. They will bar

hearty meal of 1t, and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
The contents of a deer's stomach they
consider a great delicacy.

SCULPTOR WHO RAISED A ROW

Gutzon Borglum, though a dis
tinguished sculptor, probably attracted
more attention to himself by his accu-
sations against the members of the old
aircraft production board than he ever
did by his art work. Selected by his
friend, President Wilson, to find out
why the airplane program had col
lapsed, he asserted he had found plain
evidence Of incompetency, graft and
prof German influences. Those involved
came back with counter-charges i'm
pugning Mr.. Borglum's disinterested-
ness, which he angrily repealed.
Mr.. Borglum, whose full name is
John Gutzon de Ia Mothe Borglum,
was born in Idaho in 1867, and was
educated at st. Mary's college in Kan.

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving in Y. M. c. A. shut"
in Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many and Varied.

If there Is q notion that Y. n. @. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket tesla
ments, let it be diSSipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in a
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages OF
laundry, umpires basketball games, or
ganiZed a glee club, stagemanaged
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a fiivyer ten miles and
back three times a week to provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
guage. He has been a repository for
hundreds of heart secrets, and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at
time.
Perhaps oldest of his many tasks
was one that came his way on a wild
and stormy night in April, when the
master of arms at the military station
entered the "Y" hut after taps, carry
ing a red box under his arm.
SAY" said the master Of arms,
"we've got q lot Of T. N. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators. In this box. There's cOnsid-
cradle lightning around, and 1t isn't
safe to leave these things close to the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"

night Tor tried to sleep) with enough

FRENCH HERO OF THE AIR

Sub.-Lieut. Rene FOnck Of the
French aviation service started out the
other day to avenge his friend, Lieu
tenant Chaput, who had just been
killed by the Huns.
Lieutenant FOnck had only just
left the region of the airdrome when
he encountered an enemy squadrilla.
He drove straight at them, opening
fire with his machine gun, and shot
down two Of the Germans. He then
went after a third machine and sent
1t crashing to earth.
FOnck returned to the airdrome to
take on more gasoline and to rest be-
fore going out for the second patrol.
On this patrol he met another squad
rilla. One twO-seater he shot to pieces
In the air and two others he saw strike
the ground, all within five minutes.
Lieutenant FOnck's achievement
has never been equaled. He recently
took leading place among French
aces, and is the greatest French air

For insistency perhaps Senator
Harry New of Indiana wins the prize
In the war senate of the United States.
The junior senator from Indiana has a
sticking power that equals that of the
proverbial bulldog.
When New gets behind a war
measure he stays behind 1t until it is
put through. AS one Of the strongest
advocates of universal military service
he has brought the subject to the at
tention of the senate almost daily,
despite the fact that at times 1t has
seemed almost hopeless.
Tucked away In a seat beneath the
galleries, Senator New Is not often
seen, but he is heard. He is quick
to his feet whenever promise for &C
ton opens up, and he never leaves the
chamber until his fight is disposed Of.

Many Lambs Killed by RattIers.

Rattlers. always plentiful in parts

more numerous than in any previous

minded of the fact by the loss Of
lambs. Older sheep know the menace

What We Earn,

Few things are impossible to those
who are ready to pay the price of
labor. No person has a right to an
ability which has not been secured by
training. and 1t is certain that such
ability will be imperfect and conducive
to disappointment in its failure If it
has not been acquired by hard work
and preparation. There is no royal
road to anything. The things we CO.
vet in others can be ours If we do what

Dealing With Trouble.

Never hunt trouble. However dead
a shot one may be, the gun he carries
on such expeditions is sure to kick or

CHAMPION OF BABIES

In all the cities Of America there
is a feud between the landlord and the
baby. And in all the cities but one
the landlord is usually the winner.
Babies are not wanted in modern flats.
But one city official, James f. Can
non, Jr., commissioner of revenue and
finance in Jersey City, has been nosing
about in the crevices of the law and
has discovered a way of assuring to
the baby its happy home. He has
already opened fire ON the baby-shy
landlords of the city and dared them
to put another infant out on the
streets. Moreover, he offers his plan
free of charge to all other cities, with
the assurance that they can similarly
make use of it to protect Americas
next generation. Commissioner Can
non admits that the landlord is within
his technical rights in choosing whom
ever he likes for his tenants. But the
city has technical rights, too. And he
says to the landlord: Every well, IL
