Mr.. McAdoo on his return from
nus nus naeatioh IN the West, spoke of
carrying the plan into effect by the
use OF water power. Whether the elee-
trlcal energy be obtained from the
turbines at the base OF cataracts, or
from the burning OF coal in regions
whefe rivers are few and far between,
the conditions and advantage of elec-
trlcal operation would be much the
same.
The best example Of the utilization
OF water power getting current for
driving the electric locomotives is fur
nished by that 440-mile stretch OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail-
way between Harlowtown, Mon, and

Putnam and Shaffer
Are Flying Together

Thrilling stories are coming
through Associated Press channels
regarding the daring exploits of
Lieutenant David L. Putnam. the
American Ace, who is the companion
of Walter Shaffer, of Dauphln. in
aviation work in France. Putnam
is now said to be the leading Ameri-
can flyer.
The great fight that made him
famous in France was over the battle
half hour combat he shot down hve
OF an enemy squad of ten Albatrosses.
1t was close and difficult work, for
the Germans maneuvered skilltully
and closed in on him until he could
see pilots plainly in their seats as
their machines passed under him.. He
waved his hand to one OF them,
and the German returned the salute
in the thick of the fight. All Putnam
range as best he could and watched
closely every chance to fire. He
finally got into a good position, and
the German machines began to fall
Five of them crashed before the
fight was over.
June II Putnam got three out of
six Fokkers. and the next day shot
down one of two German observing
planes. He was about to pull out
gun when one of his adversaries
pulled up at a short angle. fired ten
shots, turned over and fell zoo
yards: then the machine broke in the
air and crashed.
Since then Putnam has accounted
for an observation balloon and. on
June 30. another enemy plane.

1,4OO POUNDS OF
SUGAR TAKEN BY
ADMINISTRATOR
Williamstown Cooperative
Association Declared to
Have Too Large Supply

Fourteen hundred pounds of sugar
held by the Williamstown Co-opera-
tive Association of Williamstown,
was ordered to be redistributed to-
day by the Dauphin county food ad-
ministrator following the discovery
of misstatement concerning the
sugar requirements and stock on
hand, made by the manager.
The sugar is being sold to dealers
in Williamstown who are practically
out of sugar. Discovery of the excess
stock was made following complaints
that. while most of the Williamstown
grocers were entirely out of sugar
the cooperative association was
amply supplied and had certificates
for purchase from wholesalers which
were still unused.
During the past two weeks the CO.
operative association has been prof
iting at the expense of the grocers
who were without sugar.
The offices of the Dauphin county
/ food administration were SwampeC
with grocers this morning who were
on hand to have their customers
canning certificates redeemed fol
sugar purchase certificates.
All bonafide customers canning
statements which have been accepted
by the grocers during August, were
redeemed for the purchase certiti
Gates at the food administration of
fees. The grocers have been in sucf
short straights in regard to theil
sugar supplies that the announce
ment that they could redeem theil
canning certificates meant that the!
could receive sugar for the first tim'
during August.
The force on hand in the offices
in the Dauphin building was no
large enough to handle the rush o
grocers. They stood around half ;
dozen strong during most of thu
morning. while the authorities wer'
making out their certificates.

Toilet of tie Lion.

At Belfort the lion of Bartholdy Is
nobler and prouder than ever. Above
all he is proud to be clean and tidy.
For some time he was a very dirty
lion. The garrison that occupied the
fort just above the monument had
thrown down upon the stony animal
kitchen Stops, old rags and all kinds
of nth. One day it was announced
that the prince Of Wales would visit
Belfort on the following day. The men
on police duty were ordered to clean
up against an unforeseen difficulty.
The approach to the Ion was by a
narrow passage in the rock OF which
the entrance was closed by a strong
door, and the keeper OF the key had
been modified and gone. Fortunate
" among the men on police duty was
a black sheep who had q reputation as
an expert housebreaker. He did the
trick and the door was opened. They
then proceeded with the toilet of
the lion, which was no nice affair. The
prince arrived on the morrow and ac-
corded the lion a hasty glance. He
did not know the trouble that had been
taken to make the colossus present

the streets of London knows why. A

Protection. Great Britain's steel
walls of today, like her wooden walls
of long ago, were built in British
