HOW HE WON FAME

The only decoration worn by Prt
vate Luke Thayer, Jr, of the United
States Marines up to two years ago
were those received about his optics
when he settled his disputes in the
good Yankee way.
Today, Luke who is a trifle over
nineteen years old wears three cam
paign ribbons, croix de guerre with
a palm, two stripes and two other
stripes indicating a years service in
France.
lncidently he Is wearing half doz'
en- scars from Boche shrapnel and
bullets.
Luke is the son of the chief of
police of Georgetown Pa. He was liy-
ing 1907 Arch Street, Philadelphia
when a recruiting poster caught his
eye and he decided to see the world
through the medium of the Z S.
Marine Corps travel agency. BY street
ching his five feet six to the full
: limit and by looking the recruiting
officer in the eye without blushing
while Sc sWOre he fas within the the
legal age limit for enlisting, Luke
got into the Soldiers of the Sea"
Within a few months after Luke
enlisted he earned his first campaign
ribbon by helping to impress the
might of Uncle Sam on some Of the
natives of San Domingo. A jaunt to
Haiti was next in order where he ac-
quired another ribbon.
It was at Belleau woods that Luke
earned the right to wear the war
cross with a palm. A detachment of
the marine was with French regi-
ment at the time On a little hillock
well camouflaged by a clump of
bushes two German machine guns
were splitting death into the ranks of
the French and the marines. Twelve
volunteers were called for to storm
the nests, and Luke was one of the
twelve.
The twelve divided into two bodies
but of the five with Luke only one
got as far as the objective with him.
The others were either killed or
wounded Three grenade we'll placed

INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO

INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO
The status OF American investment
in Mexico is an object OF concern to
the United States. Future commercial
relations not only with Mexico, but
with the of whole Latin America
may be affected by the outcome OF
the dispute over the possession of
land and mineral rights in the Tam
pico oil district, says a review of the
oil situation Just issued by the De-
partment of Commerce.
The government as well as oil in
terests, is watching carefully the pro-
gress of suits instituted in the Mex
lean courts by the American, Brit
ish, French and Dutch oil companies
for relief from the program of the
| Carranza government arising from a
l
provision of the Mexican constitution
of 1917 which attempts to vest in the
nation only the right to minerals and
| oils under the soil of the republic.
"In its bearing on our future COM
mercial relations with Latin Ameri-
ca" declares the review by the De-
partment of Commerce, "the status
of our investments in Mexico invol-
YES far-reaching possibilities. If all
our foreign investments were to be
transferred from the state of proper
| ty duly acquired with guarantees Of
permance (such as occur in the MeXi-
can mining laws of 1884, 1892 and
| 1909 to the state of temporary con-
cessions requiring renewal from time
to time by contracts in the working
of which we have no share, we should
! race an unprecedented situation. Our
! commercial relations, not only with
Mexico but with all of Latin America,
depends upon mutual confidence. The
! liberal supplies which the United
States has granted to Mexico to-
gether with Ambassador Fletcher's
note of April 2 constitute our side of
the present case. A signal factor,
however, will be the decision of the
Mexican courts upon the suits now
! in progress"
The note of April referred to
was handed to the Mexican govern
ment after all oil companies operat-
ing in the Tampico fields had been
ordered to file manifests of property
under penalty of confiscation and it
had been decreed THAT new taxes
called rental and royalties" should
be imposed. It declared that the
United States cannot acquiesce IN
any procedure ostensibly or nominally
in the form of taxation or the exercis
of eminent domain but really result
ing in confiscation and arbitrary de-
privation of vested rights" At the
same time the British French and
Dutch governments notified the Car
rama government that in the event
| confiscatory measures were put into
effect they would be obliged to pro.
test their own interests" This result

confiscation.

new FOOD RESTRICTIONS
NOW IN FORCE
Hoover Preparing to Increase Sup
plies for Allies
MEATS, BREAD AND SUGAR
For Failure to Obey Penalties of
Food Control Act Will Be
Invoked

Washington, Oct. 13.--To aid in full
filling the promise of the United
States to send to the Allies seventeen
and a half million tons offered this
year, the Food Administration tonight
announced twelve general orders to
be observed by all public eating
places beginning October 2I.
The regulations considered among
the most rigid ever issued by the
food administration, will affect every
hotel, restaurant, cafe, club and din
ing car service in the country and
through such eating places approx
matcly nine million persons.
Penalties Invoked
For failure to obey the oarders,
which prescribe limitations on the
served, the penalties of the Food Con-
troll Act will be invoked. The purpose
Of the restrictions, according to a
statement by the food administration
is "to carry out direct reduction in
the consumption of all foods, rather
than series of emergency regula-
tions, such as meatless and wheatless
days and meals and the substitution of
one food for another"
Provision of Orders
"Thc orders specifically provide, be-
ginning October 21, that public eat
ing places shall not serve any bread or
bakery products containing less than
20 per cent of wheat flour substitutes.
OF bread containing at least 20 per
cent substitutes, not more than two
ounces may be served at one meal,
and of corn and mixed bread not more
than four ounces at a single meal will
be permitted to be served. Bread must
not be served and bread or toast
may not be served as d garnturc or
under meat. Bacon also may not be
used as a garniturc
AS to the serving Of meats, which
include mutton, pork, poultry and by
products, not more than one kind may
be included in single meal. Butter
and American cheese must not be in
portions of more than onc-half ounce.
Use Less Sugar
Sugar bowls, according to the reg
ulations, must not be placed on the
table, and no sugar w:.i be served UNI
less requested by the guest The por-
tions are not to cXccci more than one
tcaspoonful for each meal.
Other orders provide that food shall
not be displayed in such manner as
to cause its deterioration. Double
cream, or cream containing more than
20 per cent of butter fat is prOhib-
tied. Waste food is not to be burned,
but must be saved to feed animals or
reduced to obtain fats.

WAR SAVINGS
WILL CONTINUE
IN PEACE Times
BY A. &. GELDHoF.
/. E. A. Staff CORRESPONDENT.

Washington, Dec 5-War Savings
Stamps are to be made a permanent
feature of the country's financial
policy.
SO great has been the success of
the 1918 stamps that the treasury
department is making plans to con-
tinue the issuance of savings stamps
after peace is signed.
Their name may be changed to

respects. the plan now employed in
issuing and selling them will not be
materially altered.
The facts that w. s.. are not
negotiable, that they bear no bother
some interest coupons, that they pay
practically the same rate of interest
as Liberty Bonds make them pecul-
iarly adapted to fill the popular de-
mand for a government savings in
vestment of a nature suited to the
small investor.
New Stamps Are Now in Print.
For this reason, treasury officials
believe they will provealmost as
popular after the war as they were
this year. In addition to forming a
steady government income for peace
time, they will represent an excellent
investment, bringing approximately 4
Ia per cent interest.
The 1919 War Savings Stamps are
now in print and will be placed on
sale all over the country on Janu-
airy 1. The treasury department is
swamped by requests for Information
about them. Here is everything you
want to know about them:
