ONE MILLION IN WAR
BONDS FOR AIR FIGHTERS

The National Aerial League Lega

million in Italian War Bonds has been
contributed by certain well known
manufacturers, to fund for special
prizes for italian Aviators. This fund
to have his name on this list of
has so far reached. not one but two
wonderful results. First, it is quite
an honor for the aviator to be elected
heroes, and in the second place it has
given remarkable help to the Italian
Red Cross, as in every case the avia-
tors TO whom the bonds were present
ed turned them back for the benefit
of the Red Cross The fund is al
ways increasing. The contributions
to this fund are strictly personal and
limited to manufacturers.
Among the men honored, if not
benefited, with these prizes are the
pilots Baracca (the ace who fell on
the Piave), Ruffo e Piccio (65,00O
lire); pilot Ancillotto 100000 lire)
Prizes will be given to all aviators
decorated with gold and silver
medals.

TrIed Hard to save shlpmate,

Sailors are always true to their ship
mates. There is never an incident
where danger threatens one man of a
ship that some other man of the crew
is not ready to stand by. John ].
Swigart, a seaman, United States
navy, was doing duty on an army
transport. A shipmate fell or was
washed overheard and the alarm was
given. Although the vessel was going
at high speed, Swigart jumped over
board and, landing in its wake, swan
to a point where the man was last
seen. He searched for the body until
completely exhausted. For his heroism
he has been officially commended. Swi-
CART enlisted from Cincinnati, March

AVN THE COLONIAL TOMORROW

William S. Hart, in a superb story
of the great West, entitled, riddle
Garone," will be the fine attraction
at the Colonial tomorrow evening.
This new photoplay is based upon
the story 1.-THE Vengeance of Jeffer-
son Garone,' written by Charles Oh
den Seltzer and published serially in
the Argosy magazine in October-No-
vember 1917 The Argosy has been
long noted for its stirring tales and
this is one of the best narratives ever
published in that periodical. Mr..
Seltzer is a strong, forceful writer
with keen sense of dramatic pro-
prieties Few stories in which "Bill"
Hart has been recently seen are more
dramatic than Riddle" Garone," nor
have their heart appeal been more
convincing. They called him rid
die" because he had only one object
in life-to "get" man. He had nurs-
ed his hatred through score of
years. Now, when they saw him face
to face with his man they knew that
hell had broke loose. Don't miss that
fight It's great Pathe News also.

Mo Match Famine.

Every few days one reads In the pa
pers stories about a snatch famine"
but the largest manufacturers assert
that there is no need for alarm from
that source. There is, they say, cer-
tain shortage in "strike-on-the-box"
matches, due to the fact that all for
eign matchmakers, especially the
Swedes, are having trouble in getting
materials. and are shipping here very
few matches of that sort. while the
United States government has virtu-
ally commandeered the output of that
type of match made in America for
use in the army and navy.
But as for household matches there
are plenty of the well-known brands
to be had, and no prospect of short
age. A few of the small manufacture
ers occasionally have period of short
age in certain materials, but the big
companies are turning out plenty.

CONDITION OF WOMEN

The change caused by the war in
the condition of women has been
more profound and deeply felt in
Italy than in other countries. like
England and France, where women
had been for many years employed in
various useful pursuits. In Italy the
women of the middle class, with rare
exceptions, remained generally at
home. Those of the lower-middle
class. when they worked. choose gen
orally the career of school teachers.
A consequence of this was that the
women had no economic indepen-
dence, and, if portionelss and remain
ing unmarried, continued TO stay at
home or with some married brother
or sister.
The war has changed all this, but
il must be said that the ground had
been prepared by an ardent, If little,
group of Italian women who for years
had been trying to fight the prejudice
that "a woman's place is in the home"
especially prevalent in the southern
provinces of the peninsula Intelli-
gent, progressive, cultured Italian
girls are now TO be found almost in
every occupation that their American
sisters have occupied for years, and
the fact is accepted not as n perma-
nent change in the condition that can
not fail to have deep and, on the
whole, beneficial effect on social con-
ditions in Italy.

REGULATIONS AS TO
DISPOSITION OF CHECK
For Allotment After Death OF Al
lostee. Opinion OF Comptroller
OF The Treasury

A regulation has been recently
adopted by the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance based upon a further opin-
ion of the Comptroller OF the Treas
ury as to the above subject
Under this regulation. all such

FAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST
Native African Kept Eyes on Watch
for Hour, Lest It Should Co
"Jump, Jump"

France has many black fighting men
from Senegal in the field; nor are they
the only troops recruited from savage
or semisavage races that are engaged
in the great conflict. A young British
officer found himself one night, by a
mischance to his motorcycle, stranded
by the wayside, and with only little
group of negro stragglers anywhere in
sight He was very tired, having had
no sleep for many hours. One of the
Africans talked the pidgin English of
a coast town, and this man informed
him that some motprlorries would be
coming along soon, upon which 1t
would be possible to get lift.
"Soon," in the mouth of an African.
is an elastic term, but the captain
thought he could afford to wait an
hour before setting forward on foot in
search of some other means of trans
portation. Meanwhile, he wanted a
nap-wanted it desperately-but he
could not trust himself to wake at the
end of an hour. The African could not
tell time. but the captain determined
TO depend upon him. nevertheless.
Showing him the dial of his wrist
watch, he explained that he wished to
be walked when the long hand reached
there and the short hand there. Then
he lay down, with arm extended, and
the negro crouched beside him. with
his eyes on the dial.
Exactly at the right moment the
sleeper was called; and as he opened
his eyes they fell upon the African, in
precisely the same position, with
something strained in his aspect that
suggested inquiries. 1t appeared that
he had not dared look away during the
entire hour.
'For sure him clock trabbel slow,
massa," he explained "But s'pose him
stop go walkee, walkee? S'pose him
go jump, jump?"
Upon river steamer in Africa Miss
Mary Kingsley. the English explorer,
once heard other passengers giving di-
rections to the native steward in the
adjoining main saloon:
"You savvy six o'clock? When them
long arm catch them place, and them
short arm catch them place, you call
me in the morning time"
An interval of silence, and then an
other voice:
"You savyy five o'clock? When them
long arm" And so it went on, until
each passenger had pointed out on the
clock face the proper relation of the
two hands to each other at the moment
he desired to be called. The ignorant
native steward, who could not tell time
and could not learn to, was yet suf'
ficiently observant to place and re
member the calls correctly; he never
got them mixed.-Youth's Companion
