REAL CARNIVAL
Girls Show Ability as Carnival
Entertainers.

Beginning with the customary
parade and winding up with the
jitney dance, the carnival staged
by the Junior Red Cross assisted
by the teachers of the District,
came to a successful close Friday
evening after several hours OF
real sport and enjoyment partic-
ipatedN in by the larger portion
of our citizens.
The carnival was social as
well as financial success, the net
proceeds of the evening being
well over the $500 mark, the
gross receipts being $41S. Con-
sidering that the numerous at
fractions provided were mostly
of the 2 cent to cent price, the
showing is remarkable and
clearly goes to prove that moth
ing succeeds like success. More
than 1,500 people were in the
building at one time and all
visited the several booths, side
shows and the large list of attrac-
tions. The exhibitions given
were up to the mark and COM
pared favorably with the attrac-
tons presented by the travelling
carnival companies.
The parade was announced for
Z O'Clock and long before that
hour the streets were lined with
people-all the same circus. Ow-
ing to the immense crowd of
youngsters around the Washing
ton building from where the pa
rade started and the attendant
confusion in getting the column
on the move the parade did not
appear before 7:30. 1t was well
wort h waiting for however.
Miss Fromelt in Red Cross cos
tune moelnted on a prancing
steed led the parade followed by
detachment of Red Cross
nurses in costume. Then came
the High School band in mot
ley array of vari-colored uni
forms and make-ups. The trick

A Memory

" SIlOW Gllt cStctm duQ respect
in which the late DR.. Charles G.
lShipman was held In his home
community we print the follow
ing eulogy from the pen of a
neighbor and published I'm the
Outlook ofIOcean Park, Cal. The
writer says:
"Some one else, better qualified,
may give your readers an appre-
citation of the life and character
of DIR. Charles G.. Shipman, to
whose memory public tribute was
paid this afternoon at the Elks
clubhouse. / write this because
that which is no one particular
duty, is sometime a duty Jumper
formed. Someone should voice in
this public manner to wider au-
dience than the one that mourned
over the casket today, the grief
that has come to so many house
holds and persons in this COM
munity.
During the years j knew him,
as neighbor, friend, patient, and
fraternity brother, i learned a
new respect for his noble profess
sion. A candid doctor acquain-
tance of mine, in Los Angeles, is
wont to remark that some of his
conferees ought to be in Jail.
Whatever is the antithisis of such
condemnation belongs to Charles
G. Shipman. He was the ideal
family physician. The CONNER
cialization of his profession, all
too common, perhaps, was utterly
foreign to his standard Of ethics.
He did not believe in giving
drugs when advice would serve
the purpose. He was the despair
of his bookkeeper always, for he
disliked sending bills more than
most of his patients did paying
them. Always charitable, always
animated by sympathy for the
poor and the suffering, he was
the dispenser of a vast amount of
quiet charity, for which he de-
sired and received no applause.
FNo one comes nearer to the
inner shrine of the home than the
family doctor, if he be of the kind
to inspire confidence and affec-
ton. He shares with our near
est and dearest, their sorrows,
hopes and joys. DIR. Shipman
was prominently man Of that
quality. To both old and young
the news of his death came as !
profound shock, leaving feeling
Of great personal loss.
"He was a good citizen. He
was man in the broadcast and
best sense. DIR. Shipman knew
he had, in all probability, not
long to live. He had known this,
to my knowledge, more than a
year, He fully realized that his
days were numbered. There was
no financial need for his continu-
ing the arduous work Of his large
practice. He might have aban-
doned his patients to others who
needed them, and made his own
Health and life the object of his
solicitude. But that was not his
kind of a man. He faced his fate
and his work smiling, not seeking
avoidance of either.
HE was a brave man, and q
good man. He died on the firing
line, a soldier of duty" E. /.

alton of Labor, the Minnesota EN-
.ployers' Association, and others

following is copy:
TO THE BOARD OF ARBITRA,
TON OF THE STATE OF
MINNESOTA
Gentlemen:
Realizing that the full activity
and energy of every citizen In
some form or another must be eff
fectively used for the successful
prosecution, and termination of
the war, and that personal and
selfish aim and ambitions must,
at this time, be entirely set aside
for the welfare of the country,
and believing that loyalty is not
confined to any one class or
group:
We propose that employer and
employee, organized and unorga-
nized shall use every effort to
prevent strikes and lockouts, to
deal nationally and unselfshly
with serious wage disputes, and
for the period of the war not com
pei, or attempt to compel discrim-
nation in employment by strikes,
threats or lockouts.
To this end. the undersigned
suggest the adoption of the fol.
lowing basic conditions to cover
both employer and employee, or.
ganized or unorganized, during
the period Of the war.
l. That employer and employe
must recognize that now and for
the period Of the war continuous
efficient production can alone
equip and sustain our military
forces; that every dispute, whst.
ever its motive, which interrupts
production, furthers the ends and
operates to the advantage Of the
public enepy.
2. That employees shall not ask
for recognition of a union which
had not been recognized before

Kaiser to Surrender (
to America to Save
His Skin, Says Judge

Chicago, Dec. 2S-It is not beyond
a reasonable doubt that the former
kaiser of Germany will surrender to
the American army.
Judge William N. Gemmill is au
thority for this. He thinks the
former kaiser is going to emulate
Napoleon and surrender to a powe,
he believes will be more lenient te
him than any of the allies.
We could do nothing with him.,
said the judge. I'VE could not ban,
lsh him, nor could we prosecute hin
IN this country for murder. Under
our army regulations he could MOI
be tried by court-martial. Nor coulc
we, under extradition treaties, de.
liver him into the custody of an,

British. The former kaiser is likely
to adopt similar course only in
this case the United States admitted

Out Fire Department

on the waterfront the other day
Oscar Lipman, a jewel broker,
traded a watch to a sailor for a cum
ming little monkey. Lipman took
the pet home to his apartment on
Powell street. Then the trouble
began.
The monkey escaped. The agile
creature appeared, leering, in the
room of a guest at the Fairmont Ho-
tel. The man was trying to shave
after strenuous night before.
Calls for help brought out the fire
department. AS the firemen clam
bered up their ladders the monkey
as readily climbed down from the
window sill and was next discovered
swinging into an artists studio near
the hotel, where it joined a group of
surprised Bohemians around a
hearth fire. Lipman regained his pet

The AbandonedR0om
BY Wadsworth Camp

Rawlins and Robinson that he was
beaten. Yet he had begged so hard
for this chance That course, more
over, meant the arrest of katherine
and himself in the morning. For a
few hours he could suffer here for
her sake. Daylight, if he could per-
sist until then, would bring release,
and surely it couldn't be long now.
He shrank back. Steadily it had
grown colder in the old room. He
shivered. He drew his coat closer
about him. What temerity to invade
the domain of death, as Paroles had
called it, to seek the secrets of un-
quiet souls!
He ceased shivering. He waited,
tensely quiet. Without calculation
he realized that the moment for
which he had hoped was at hand.
The old room was about to disclose
its secret, but would it permit
him to depart with his knowledge?
He forgot to call. He waited, help
less and terrified, against the wall.
He heard moaning cry, faint and
distant-the voice they had heard in
the forest and at the grave. But it
was more than that that held him.
He knew now what Katherine had
heard across the court, heralding
each tragedy and mystery. He
caught a formless stirring. Yet on
the bed there was no one. Fortu-
nately he had not gone there.
He tried to call out, realizing
that the danger could find him if it
chose, but his throat was tight and
it permitted no response.
His glance hadn't wacered from
the wall above the stained pillow.
There was movement there. Then
he saw. A hand protruded from the
blackness of the paneling where they
had sounded and measured without
success. In the ashen, unnatural
light from the snow the long fingers
Of the hand were like the feelers of |
a gigantic reptile. They wavered |
feebly, and he became convinced
that the hand was immat erial, that it
was unattached to any body. If
that was so it couldn't be the hand
Of Katherine. At least he had proved
that Robinson and Rawlins had
been wrong about her. That sense
Of victory stripped him of his par
alyzing fear. 1t loosed the tight
band about his throat. He called.
He could prove the immateriol ma
lure of the repulsive hand wavering
rom the wall.
Crying out, he sprang to his feet
He flung himself across the bed.
With both of his own hands he
srasped the slender, inquisitive fin
gers which wavered above the
stained pillow, and once more his
throat frightened. He couldn't cry
,ut again.

Candy, Sticky and
Otherwise, Adheres
to Wartime Prices

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Girls, here's
bad news, sad news, real tough
news. Candy isn't going to be
cheaper at all-not if the candy
statesmen can help it. Go back to
peace time prices? Not on your mo-
lasses kisses! They've discovered
candy is necessity. Therefore,
The Western Confectionery Sales
mems association met here recently,
and N. L. Towie, vice-president,
spilled the fudge by saying:
THE war has taught us one great
lesson. Candy is a necessity and no
one is going without it. Every Or
ganization interested in soldiers has
continually seen that they are sup
piled with candy. The government
has recognized the need. Despite
prices, people have bought candy.
The lesson we have learned is that
it is unnecessary to cut prices to
sell candy. We will not 60 back
to pre-war prices"

the coming of the Flyer. As she
waited she wondered if Engineer
Bill would take it out. She had
heard he was i'll, but late that day
she had seen him hurrying toward
the roundhouse as if to report for
work. He had looked very wretched
then. and not at all fit to drive big

Other trains passing back and
forth sent puffs of steam and smoke
curling up over the top of the hill.
Seen in the light of the street lamps,
these puffs took fantastic shapes,
sometimes looking like wraiths
floating in the air. While Peggy
was watching them she heard the
first distant whistle of the Night

ed at 7:02. Slowly the second hand
jerked its way through a minute,
and at 703 came another whistle.
When the second hand was half
way around again, the Flyer rushed

From the locomotive a wisp of
