and caves. The Germans had re-
tired before the attackers reached
the enemy trenches.
The Franco-Americans returned
to their own trenches, after 90
minutes with casualties of only
four wounded.
Meanwhile, east of Neuvillers
and before Badonvillers, two de-
tachments-each containing one
company Of Americans and two
companies of French-penetrated
the German lines and destroyed
three trenches. They took two
uhlans prisoner.
The pOilus say they were

An all-American idea has been taken
up and Is being exploited by the manu-
facturers Of high-class sweaters. II is
the introduction OF decorations that
look like and are inspired by the bead
work and other ornamental work done
BY American Indians on their gar
ments. It Is odd that this source of
inspiration has not been more freely
used. because II belongs to our own
country and II distinctive and pic
turesque.
Anyone having q poor opinion Of the
ornamental beadwork and feather
work done by the Indians will gain re-
spect for them by looking into the mat
ter. In museums there are collections
Of their headdresses and garments
that are surprising. They have Law

There are two elements that should
be figured In the cost Of road con

tion. Second, the cost of maintenance.
1t is the yearly average Of these two
that should always be considered
when figuring the cost of q road. True
It is. that roads may be constructed
in such a manner as to need very lit

very expensive to build. and II Is out

Much Of the Wear and Tear On Hard

that Is no reason for discarding the

The campaign is gaining momentum
daily and there will be % meetings held
before the week is ended The idea of the
board of commissioners is to see that
every man understands the issues to be
voted upon on May 6.
That there vii be no increase in taxes,
but simply readjustment of the citys
financial affairs in order that only mills
of the present 10-mill tax will go to the
sinking fund, and that the remainder
of the present 5-mill tax for the sinking
fund, which will be mills, will be given
over to school purposes, for maintenance
and equipment of all schools in the city.
This money can also be used to pay in
terest on bonds issued for school pur-
poses, and thereby aid the city commits
sioner in erecting more schools and inn
proving the ones MAT they now have
with thi sadditional revenue.
The appeal of the eastern section of the
city to the western section, which APP
pared in Yesterdays Age-Hera1d, has
had spleriid effect in eliminating any
petty jealousies that may have existed,
and it now seems that the western sec
ton of the city viii vote solidly for the
bond issue that will be partially used in
erecting a high school for the eastern
section of the city.

Victim of Gun Supposed to

Culpepper Exum, Jr., of 2913 Highland

gum in the hands of a companion yes
terday afternoon during a pageant re-
hearsal at the Lakeview school. The
bullet entered the right chest and was
removed by a surgeon from the right
shoulder, where it lodged before pene-
trating the outer skin The injury is
not considered serious.
A 22-calibre rifle sent the bullet which
came SO near to ending the life of young
Exum.
1t seems that the boys were practicing
for a pageant event to be held soon in
Rhodes park and none of the guns were
suppose to be loaded. When asked about
the condition of young Exum last night,
Mrs. Exum stated that he was resting
we'll and that the injury would probably
prove to be of no serious consequence.
please do not ask me for the name of
the boy who fired the shot," she re-
quested. 1T was purely accidental. The
occurrence should. however. impress
more firmly upon the minds Of all the
danger that turks in the barrels of 'un-
