ISTART NEW HOMES
| At CHEVY CHASE

Ground was broken this week by
John n Henderson for the erection
OF four new homes on Keokuk strest
in Chevy Chase Heights, .tust east Of
the four similar homes recently COM
pletsd by him.
The four residences recently COM
pleted by Mr.. Henderson are among
the most attractive in the section, and
were sold soon after completion The
new ones, which are expected to be
ready for the tall market, will con-
tain all of the features Of the COM
pleted ones. Several large oak trees
in the rear yards add to the attrac-
tiveness Of the homes.
The houses are to be Of colonial
type, OF frame construction. Each lot
Is 80 by $50 feet, and the houses will
each have sig rooms and attic, sleep
ing porch and front porch They are
to be heated by hot water and will
have both gas and electricity.

Anti-aircraft cunners lead thrilling
lives. In describing the work of the
men one writer says:
During fine weather life becomes
one perpetual bustle. Men are placed
to keep the lookout and to work
the various .sadgets:' Blue-spec-
tacled. they stand searching the skies
for Jerry until the signs deneting
that one has been spotted bring the
whole position into antlfke activity.
''The range and height finders are
soon busy calling out their; readings,
and the gunnera train their guns on
to the target. The only person who
seems to be taking things easily is
the section commander. who patiently
waits for the bird to get into flring
distance. when with almost alarming
vivacity he raps out his orders,

mediately both guns rattle and roar
the incoming plane. Only when the
bird alters its course do they stop.
when the commander gives his new
deflections.

as the sight of the little white Puffs
of smoke appearing around the bird
as the shells burst. but. the greatest
excitement Of all 10 reached when q
hit is scored and the plano topples
over and, like paper butterfly, dut-
tefs to earth"
American soldiers in France have
found it next to impossible to buy
musical instruments. They now are
out of the market.
Seldom Is there excitement as the

Here is an Englishman's opinion Of
the German after he had been con-
fined for some months in a German
prison camp and where he had 3
chance to observe German character;
The German regarded from a crea-
tive, moral and spiritual point Of
view, is-nothing.., He is simply noth-
ing. mean he contributes nothing
Germany is not nation; it is a con,
spiracy. The Germans have no vital
sense Of personal or spiritual free
dom. They are all merged together IN
mass materialinm."
Though the. allied soldiers love to
take battle front souyenirs-and the
famous Gsrman helmet 10 one of the
most coveted---that. souvenir which
brings the greatest thrill and Is more
prized than any other Is the replica
Of the iron cross gut from the wings
Of downed German aifplanes.
During the. years Of the war the
sociologists OF England have been
concerned as to what the retur4ed
soldier would do in civil life During
the course Of the struEgls, however.
thousands Of wounded men honorabiy
discharged have taken up civilian
pursuits. They simply go back to
their pre-war occupations.

The playing of Sunday base ball has

The Scarcity OF Labor

1t will be harder, perhaps for
the farmer than for any other
class of people to adapt him
self to the labor shortage, be-
cause his most important work
is seasonable. Business houses
have already been seriously
crippled by 81 many of their
men being called into service,
but they are bravely adjusting
their plants to conditions. by
employing older men, or train.
ing women for these positions
This shortage will, of course,
be felt on the ferns this year.
for aside from the draft, war
industries are hiring all men
available.
Wherever tits possible to use
machinery on the farms, in
place of hand labor, this should
be done. If one man is unable
to meet this expense, for ma.
chinery is usually expensive,
then by combing. farmers can
effect the same result. 1t will
mean cooperation all along the
line this year-it will mean
helping each other in various
ways but all this is a part OF
the debt we must cheerfully
pay in a world war of the
magnitude we are now wnging

I Peters three miles west Of Gate
City on the main throughfare
Tuesday evening resulted in
the capture of one of the larg-

ated in this county.
Sheriff G. w. Daughtcry, ur.
on Information from an un-
known source together with
c. @. Palmer, revenue collector,
went to the Peters home where
they found in the cellar a large
Still with other equipment
which had evidently Just been
Installed, the mud on the furn-
ace still being wet and soft. 1t
was Il unique outfit, cunningly
planned.
The officers entered the house
which is barely Off of the main
highway between Gate Civ
and Speers Ferry, and bcgnn
the search. Entering what ap.
peared to be closet by the side
of the chimney they found a
small opening in the floor, nice.
~ hidden by a trap door aud
carpet. 1t led to stairway
which in turn led to the cellar.
The still had not been in oper.
alton no more than to dry the
furnace. The smoke from tho
furnace was carried to tho
chimney through a fluc. Peters
claims that the outfit did not
belong to him.
