ANOTHER RESPITE FOR
BARLEYCORN'S LOVERS
Norris Amendment Has Been Changed
And Liquor Is To Remain
Bond Free

Another breathing spell was given
the whiskey people of the country and
the thirst of the consumers of old John
Barleycorn still given chance by the
action on Saturday of Congress IN
changing the Norris amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill which
would have closed the bonded ware
houses as soon as the President signs
the measure The change in the
amendment sets the date of effective
ness back to June so, 1919, the same
date that the sale of alcoholic liquors
for beverage purposes is to be stopped.
The reported change in the date is
calculated to remove much of the OPP
position TO the measure, because, with
only about 130,000,O00 gallons of
whisky remaining in bond, it is esti-
mated that by the end of June of next
year nearly all will have been with
drawn in the natural course of trade.
This estimate is based on the rate of
withdrawal that has prevailed for the
last six months.
But under a Norris amendment
liquor may be withdrawn and sold for
export, and as a great deal has al
ready been bought for English and
other foreign account, it is safe TO say
that June 80 next will find all the
liquor in this country either consum-
ed or in the hands of the consumers
except such quantities as have been
sold for export.
The interest of the bankers in the
pending measure is the large sums
of money they have loaned on whisky
warehouse receipts. The total of such
loans in the country at large is said
to amount to not less than two hun
Ord and fifty million dollars.

SOME GOOD TIPS
ON TIRE TROUBLE
Interchanging Will Realize Mini
mum Wear From Set.
Reasons Why
RIGHT REAR WEARS FAST

Do you know that your right rear
tire wears faster than the other three?
Well. it does. Have you ever stopped
TO think of the reason for it? The
answer is furnished here by the B. f..
Goodrich Rubber Company, together
with some timely advice on inter
changing tires to realize maximum
wear from your entire set.
Since your power and traction come
from the rear wheels your rear tires
get the hardest wear. You drive on
the right side of the road and roads
are crowded car usually is
slightly tilted-more weight being on
that side, therefore, your rear right
tire takes hold first and bears more
traction than the left.
When in motion the left rear tire
rolls along comfortably on the smooth
middle portion of the road, while the
right rear gets the rough going on the
off-side. the sharp edges of the as
phalt, the rocks and ruts, and is more
likely to encounter objects thrown on
the side of the road. Then again, the
rear tire bears the brunt of the stop
ping, sometimes sliding-a majority
of the wear falling on the right rear.
The tire receiving the next hardest
usage is the left rear, then the right
front and last the left front. So when
your right rear begins to show signs
of wear and you wish TO spare it, put
it on the left front wheel. And like
wise change your left rear to the
right front.

AMERICAN CHAPLAINS
RETURN FROM FRANCE
Bring Favorable Report Regarding
The Condition OF The Men
In France

Chaplain Francis b. Doherty, U. S.
Army. and Chaplain Lyman Rollins,
u s. Army, have just returned from
France on a military mission 10 the
United States.
Chaplain Doherty is attached 10 Gen
eral Headquarters in France. being
associated with Bishop Charles II.
Brent and Chaplain Paul Dwight
Moody (son of the well-known evan
gelst of that name) in the General
Headquarters Chaplains' Office. The
function Of this Office is the direction
and distribution Of chaplains activi-
ties in France 10 the end of the at
tainment of the best and special in
terests of all concerned, under General
Pershing This work carries with il
considerable travel and gives an in
innate knowledge of the situation
from a religious and moral point of
view
From this broad knowledge Chap
lain Doherty says: Everywhere we
find the same situation, hear the same
story; the condition and the spirit of
the men are excellent" When leay-
ing France on his present mission the
chaplain asked General Pershing:
May we not tell our people in Amer
lea that the moral and religious sit
uation here Is eminently high and very
satisfactory" The reply was. Yes,
and you may say furthermore that it
is gonig TO be kept up to that"
Chaplain Lyman Rollins. who is as
sociated with Chaplain Doherty on his
mission, is Chaplain of the 10lst In
fantry, formerly the 5th and 9th
Massachusetts National Guard, the
first National Guard outfit TO arrive in
France. He was formerly Rector OF
st. Michael's Episcopal Church. Mar
blehead, Mass Chaplain Rollins was
the recipient recently of the Croix de
Guerre. He says of his regiment:
There are religious ministrations to
every man i'm the organization Catho-
lie. Protestant and Jewish. All are
regular in their attendance at sery-
ices. and their moral conduct is of the
very highest The military authorities
are doing everything possible TO safe
guard the men. and these respond
readily and eagerly
Both Chaplain Doherty and Chap
lain Rollins spoke enthusiastically OF
the altogether admirable spirit of
fraternity existing between those who
are ministering to our soldiers. The
Catholic Chaplains, they say. are not
merely looking to the good of the
Catholic boys. nor the Protestant TO
that of the Protestant boys. Each is
working for the best interest of every
man.
Accompanying the Chaplains is Pri-
waite Adabert Bresnehan, who captured
the first German prisoner, and who
was rewarded with the Croix de
Guerre They have left Washington to
visit the Chaplain Training School at
Camp Zachary Taylor. Louisville. Ky.
on the completion OF their mission
they will return to the front.

SHELLS SOON LOSE
TERROR, SAYS KING
American Professor Writes OF His
Experience Under Fire OF
The Germans

How il feels facing bullets at the
front for the first time is related by
Prof Archibald King, member of the
faculty of the George Washington Uni
versity Law School, and now serving
in France. in a letter just received
from him.
The new life is all very interest

nightly comfortable-so of a to be

ways come out of il with nothing
worse than mud
THE baptism, as it is sometimes
called, is a little trying at first, but
you soon learn that there's more noise
than damage ordinarily. I'll never
forget the polite bow l made to the
first 'whiz-bang' that came my way.
Being short, there was little necessity
for my bow, but until you find out the
blamed thing wasn't on your tin hat
when it exploded, you're a hard per-
son to convince that they're harmless.
When you hear them go off-they say,
those that are not harmless you don't
hear, so why duck?'-you duck at first,
but, strange to say, you soon get over
the ducking game"

DON'T EVER SELL.
YOUR LIBERTY BOND
IL is Going To BE More Valuable After
The War Than II Is Now.
Docs Uncle Sam No Good

Your Liberty whether il is
for $50 or SCOOPS your savings. To
sell it is to lose your savings The
longer you keep the bond, the more
valuable it is going to be-" so says
Harold Lamb, of the Vigilantes
1T does no good to Uncle Sam to
subscribe to his loan, and then sell
the amount of your subscription.
Many Of us have strained ourselves to
buy the bonds, and necessity may
force some of us to get some of the
money back. But the way to do this
is not TO sell bond. Dishonest sharp
ers viii take your bonds and give you,
say, $50 for the 500.
If you must have money, go to a
reliable bank or broker They will
lend you $50 on the hundred, and the
interest on your bond will nearly pay
the interest on the mony they lend
you. Then by paying the loan you
can have the bond back
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them.
Two years after the war ends they
will be worth, it is estimated, $110 If
the war ends in three years or under
you will then be receiving 81 per cent

TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR u. S. CHAPLAINS
Enrolls Clergymen OF Many Creeds
The Third Session


The Third Session
The third session of the Training
School for Chaplains is now in prog
gres. Maj Alfred A. Pruden, chap
lain of the Coast Artillery Corps, is in
charge.
The training school is modelled on
the lines of the Reserve officers
Training School Stress is laid upon
military affairs rather than upon
theological instruction. 1t is under
stood by the Government that all can
didates have had the necessary theo-
logical education when their applica-
tions are accepted by their denomina-
tional chaplain committees, the gem
eral committee on Army and Navy
chaplains, or the Catholic chaplains'
bureau.
According to the Federal council of
churches, the faculty of the training
school includes representatives from
the Episcopal Church, the Methodist
Episcopal, the Baptist, and the Roman
Catholic. Among the candidates are
Roman Catholics and members of the
Augustinian. the Jesuit, and the Re
demptorial Orders. Episcopalians,
Congregationalists, Lutherans, and
Disciples, all working and comforting
together.
The next session of the training
school will open July II. The course
covers period of five weeks. During
the time of instruction the candidates
receive the salary and wear the uni
form of a private of the United States
Army. The facilities of the school
have been so enlarged as to accom-
modate $50 candidates. This increase
necessitated by the demand for chap
lains created by the recent passage of
the bill allowing one chaplain for each
1000 officers and men.

TUNE WAS MARRYING
MONTH THIS YEAR

Topping previous records consider
ably. June proved a real marrying
month, according to the list of Ii
censes granted during its four weeks
at the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court. Jumping from a total of SO,
including both white and colored cou-
pies for the corresponding month in
1917, there were issued last month 70
licenses. OF these, Sc were to white
couples and 16 to colored. That war
times and the determination of Dan
Cupid to beat Mars TO it" contributed
materially to the increase is shown
through the fact that of the total, "a
were Camp Meade or other army peo-
pie, and ten were naval people.
