TRAIN GAMES BANNED.
No More Pinochle, Euchre or
Poker, Either Friendly
or otherwise.

Bingi
Down goes another bani This time it's
on PLAYING cards on trains.
Remember the davs when you played
cuchre or p;nochle or poker SO camou-
faged that matches stood for money and
hoodwinked the uninitiated, and unsoph-
isticated tho il didn't the rest of u.s. when
YOU went to Atlantic City, or New York,
or Washington or in fact, anywhere more
than an hour s ride distant.
Sure.
Well. those davs are gone, at least for
the period Of the war And, take it from
US, there'H he a lot of things gone for the
period of the war" that will stay gone
after the war is over. Maybe this will be
one of EN-.
The government, being in charge of the
railroads, has laid down this ruling against
card-playing on trains, and therefore
'it goes" because when Uncle Sam says
thing mustn't be done, no amount OF
wheedling coaxing or pull with the train
crew is sufficient to lift the Interdictlon.
OF course, there's going TO be lot OF
grumbIing, but the most OF II and the
worst will come from the professional
sharps and sharks who heretofore have
found pretty good pickings on the trains.
The rest Of us wont mind so much when
we get used TO looking at the scenery IN
stead of the pips on the cards IN our
hands.
Anyway, let's kiss the old train card
game fond farewell.

WEALTH Of ARCTIC
ALMOST FABULOUS
Minerals of Nearly Every Kind; ;
Coal Abounds; Precious Stones
and Gems Found There.

A willow which reaches the height of
two inches is the only tree which grows
on Spitzbergen Yet this barren and
ice-bound archipelago, which lies 300
miles north OF the North Cape, is a regular
Eldorado.
Once il must have had climate as
warm as Africa, for the cliffs are full of
coal, and 1t is coal of as fine quality as
can be found anywhere in the world
There is gold there, too. small
English syndicate was at work there
before the war, and did well.
lie marble Is the finest known, next
to the very rare and choice Mexican
marble, and there Is iron as well, III
great quantles.
Spitzbergen is at present a bone Of
oontention but il Is really British terri
tory having been SO since 1919.
No one vet knows what treasures the
regions Of eternal ice may have in store
for civilization; but enough is known to
be sure that there Is ENORMOUS wealth
of mineral, gold and, probably, precious
stones around both Poles.
The Antartic expeditions found huge
seams of coal in THE Antartlc continent,
and there is probably iron ore there,
andc ertalnly sulphur
The United States paid Russia 81,
200 900 for the whole vast terrltoty OF
Alaska People said they were throwing
away money; but as early as the year
1900 the amount Of gold alone recovered
In Alaska was s. 900 600. And Alaska
has silver platinum and other treasures
as we'll
Greenland, that huge Danish terri
tory, has copper lead, silver and tin.
Flakes Of absolutely pure silver have
been picked up IN creylces along the
cliffs Masses Of almost pure iron are
found in Greenland. One which was
brought to Europe was six and a half
feet long by five and a half thick, and
weighed 10000 pounds
Precious stones are also found IN the
Far North. One Of the most beautiful
OF what are called the semi precious
gems is named 'Labradorite. 1t Is
found III blue green, golden yellow and
sometimes just the color oI the skin Of a
ripe peach Another Is eXquisltely span
gled with golden yellow LabradoFite is
very highly valued by cameo workers.
II comes from the barren wlds near
Hudson's Bay.
There are diamonds in Alaska, though
whether there will ever be diggings is
another question. in Northern Siberia
they dig a stone called 'Phenatrite, >
which looks like diamond, but is softer,
and therefore less valuable.
The exquisite lapis lazuli is also found
in Siberia, and is sent from there to
China, where it fetches a high price.
"Sphene," q very beautiful yellow
green stone. is dug III Northern Norway,
and garnets and tourmallne are got
from Greenland In one Of the almost
unknown Arctic islands of British North
America a great store Of amethysts Of
the finest quality was recently discovered.
What is perhaps the most amazing Of
all the Arctic bonar zas is that contained
in the Liakhov Islands and New Siberia.
These lie in the midst Of almost eternal
ice TO the north of Siberia ITSELF and
the soil is full Of tusks OF the now extinct
mammoth. During the last century
shiploads Of this fossil ivory have been
brought out and sold at very high prices.

ENGLISH FLEET GAINS
160 PER CENT SINCE IA
British Navy Now Has Tonnage
of $500, 900; Had 2,500,-
600 at Wars Start.

London, Aug. 6-Upon the four =
anniversary Of Great Britaing entrance
into the war, the secretary of the Ad-
niralty makes public figures and facts
which throw an encouraging light upon
the naval situation Of the Allies.
The British Navy, apart from the
American forces which now form an
integral part of its fighting strength, con
slsts ut the present time OF warshlps
and auxiliary craft, whose total displace-
rnent reaches 6,5O0,00O tons, against q,
100000 in August, 1914 During that
period about three quarters Of million
tons have been lost, but at the present
day the growth Of the feet shows an in
crease of 16O per cent.
Similarly with the personnel. The
original 10000 officers and men have
grown To 39i 900
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord Of the Ad
miralty, speaking in the House OF Com
mons March 5, 1918, was able TO express
the opinion that the British and American
naval forces in tho North Sea, the North
Atlantic and the English Channel we're
sinking submarines as fast as they were
built and on July 30, says the statement,
he made the welcome announcement that
during the last three months Of the first
-
exceeded the worlds losses from all caus-
es by no less than 100000 tons per month
Az TO means of defense against sub
marines, figures now arc available which
show that the convoy system has played a
large part in overcoming the submarine
menace to the ocean communications Of
the Allies Whereas, in the period from
April TO June Of last year before the con-
WOW system was established British
steamers, sailing TO and from the United
Kingdom in the main oversee trades,
suffered losses through enemy action Of
sal per cent OF their total number, the
figures since then have steadily diminished
until in the period from March to June Of
this year, during which 93.8 per cent of the
ships were conveyed, the losses had
dropped to % per cent of the total num-
ber of sailings in these trades
American troops who reached Europe
by July n of this year totaled well over
100000 Nearly half Of these were
carried by American ships, and the
United States furnished for them 40 ocean
escorts and 335 escorts Of destroyers
The total tonnage Of ships Of all ma
tionalities conveyed in all trades since
the introduction Of the convoy system is
6l ,691 900, Of which 373 900, or approx
ilnately 061 per cent, has been lost
Since August 4, 1914, the British Navy
has transported nearly 20,000,000 men
To different destinations, 100000 ami
mails and 1lO,000,0 900 tons Of naval and
military stores
The men lost through enemy action
during the transportation bear the pro-
portion Of one to every 5000 carried.

KEEN is BIRDS GRIEF.
Loss Of Young Brings Keen Pangs Says
John Burroughs. Who Says Birds
are Very Human

In the care of their young birds show
something much nearer to human emo
ton than in their song. Their untmely
signs of alarm often bctray them, but in
the agony of their grief they are very
human.
Yesterday, on hearing great commo-
ton among the birds IN the fruit and
shade trees III front of my house, | looked
up and saw "A crow making off with n
young, unhcdged robin in his beak, pur-
sued by mob of birds vociferating
loudly. A pair of robins, one of whose
young the black devil had seized screamed
in agony. 1t was the ordinary alarm note
uttered under such a pressure OF ex-
citement that il became shrill scream
like that which "A human mother might
utter if she saw an eagle or a wolf carrying
away her child.
There can be little doubt, | thought,
that the cases are closely parallel: those
robins clearly experienced what we must
call pain as would human beings under
like circumstances. The great difference
is that with the birds the incident is
soon forgotten. A natural instinct is
outraged and for the moment the birds
react violently But the divided waters
soon close, and the loss is forgotten. In
the case of the human mother we know
it is different Birds quickly forget, and
the loss Of the young or of a mate is
usually only the incident of day. A new
mate is quickly found, and n new brood
is soon on the road.
The wild creatures are all under the
absolute law of nature, and no time is
wasted in pity or regret. The paternal
affection continues SO long az the we'll
being of the young demands it, and little
longer. The bluebirds rearing their brood
on the corner of my porch reared an
earlier brood which they dismissed weeks
ago, and which now gives them no more
concern.
To keep up your end in the great ad-
venture OF peopling the world, and waste
no time in lamenting over your failures,
is the unwritten law of Nature

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. THE National
Amateur Trapshooting championship
came pretty close to landing IN the Will
mington District yesterday, but closeness
in trapshooting does not count. As II Is,
the championship rests in Oklahoma.
In the titular event in the Grand American
Trapshooting Tournament, Fred Tomhn,
of Penn's Grove, y. j., tied Vim. Ii. Heer,
the .outhpaw shot of Guthrie, Okla,
a. oS and on the shoot-off Tomln missed
his third target. Victory went with the
fiving target Heer broke 20 straight.
This is the first time the championship
has been won by anything but a 80 score
Billy Foord, Of Wilmington broke "a
"a. 25 and %. He wanted clean slate
on the last string to tie. Charley New
combs first string of % put him out.
Both Foord and Newcomb finished with
96. MANY did this however.
Tomlin missed his 57Ih and 62d tar
gets. Heer missed his 2sth and S6th
target.
High runs were scarce because the wind
kicked the targets in all directions and the
thermometer sizzled at l04 and going
upwards didn't make the shooting easy
Frank Troeh. of Van couver, Wash,
won the double target championship with
90 in so pairs and A. R. Cheik Of Portal,
North Dakota won the Chicago overture
with 90. In this event Tomlin broke
90 and Foord 81.

AIR-GUN WILL WIN THE WAR.

The gun that will win the war is weapon
Of which America already has countless
batteries in action. It's bore is only an
inch and an eigth, mere toy beside
even the "seyenty-five, but it has q
range Of 1000 miles.
Hats off to the "air-gun," That, says
the August Worlds Work, is what every
shipyard worker calls the tool that made
possible the biggest splash in history,
when nearly 100 ships, aggregating nearly
half million tons, slipped off the ways Of
American shipyards on the Fourth of
July. Without the pneumatic hammer,
the building of q tenth part Of these ships
would have been impossible.
