MISSING VEST HUNG IN TREE
Farmers Raiment, Containing Money,
Disappeared From Bush-Crows
Blamed az Guilty Culprts.

Spooky things happen and some
times puzzle people. Occasionally they
can be accounted for, as In this case,
notes Copper's Magazine. One morn
Ing early In August Sayles Turner, an
Eastern farmer went to work In his
hay feld. AS the morning was warm,
Turner removed his vest and hung 1t
on a small bush. When he quit work
late in the afternoon he went for his
vest, but it was gone. In the pocket
Of the vest was $40 in bills. Turner
decided 1t had been stolen.
A few days ago Turner and his hired
man went to the woods, five miles
from his house, to cut wood. The first
tree cut was q large hemlock. On a
limb near the top Of the tree they
saw an object fluttering in the breeze.
The tree was felled and the men went
to the object. 1t was Turner's lost
vest. Nineteen of the twenty dollars
were in the vest pockets. The vest
was badly torn, which may account
for the missing dollar. Turner be-
lieves that crows carried the vest from
the hay field and deposited it in the
top Of the tree.

Canarles Are Hardy.

The canary Is very adaptable lit
tie bird, and their biographer says
that they seem to thrive in any climate
where net exposed to too severe wealth
er conditions, and, in spite Of the long
period they have been protected and
held In captivity, they are capable Of
enduring a surprising degree Of cold
when hardened to 1t. In England 1t is
not unusual to find them In outdoor
aviaries throughout the year. They
also seem, he says, to be able to re-
establish themselves In wild state I'M
der favorable conditions. In 1909 a
brood of domestic canaries was re-
leased on Midway island, a small,
sandy islet In the Hawaiian group.
BY 1914 they had increased until it
was estimated that they numbered
about 1000.

to catch him. When the cops arrived
on the scene the man had disappeared.

AMERICAN RED CROSS AID

Rome. Sunday, May 19-While the
material aid given Italy by the Amer
lean Red Cross has been large, the
most important part of it's work has
been in the creation of good will be-
tween the two countries. A report on

has been done and adds:
at is impossible for statistics to
convey even the more important re-
suits as they may be measured only
by the present universal spirit Of
brotherhood and sincere regard will
for all Americans now existing
throughout Italy. 1t has meant much
for the Italians to have a visible sign
that the United States is actively in
the war. 1t has meant also that the
Americans have realized that in Italy
the United States has ar ally whose
great heart is opened to Americans
and who is reody and willing to CO.

To Be Largest in the World.

INTERCHANGEABLE island, in the
Ohio River, near Pittsburg, has been
selected by the war department as the
site for the great government ordnance
plant to be built and operated in the

idly as possible
The Neville island plant will be the
largest in the world, SURPRISING even

titles will be made under the super
vision of the steel corporation, which
will detail experts from it's organiza-
ton to build the plant.

avoid the necessity of engaging in
work Of the kind but had been per-
suaded by the war department that it
was ilnperutively required under ex-
listing conditions. Although the time
required would extend over a consid-
cradle period and the cost would be
large. the work, he said, would pdog
ress with allpracticable speed and
economy In tie use of money would be
practised. 1t is hoped and expected,

General Taslter II. Bliss. now chief OF

These important changes mean vastly
more than merely the honor to March Of

he encountered because some other ma

War Bakers consultation with senator's

Sounding out their sentiment. he found
that March's nomination will undoubted-
ly pass the senate quickly and without
any opposition
For March. the change is momentous.
Coming in from his post of artillery
found that he was ballted-either con-
sciously or unconsciously-by the senior
ity rule and that major generals who out
rankd him sometimes stood in his path.
Military men Of discernment have told
the United Press that the situation thus
created was impossible. They predicted
March would make good, but said it could
come about only if he were given the full
generals rank and the title of chief Of

Startling Achievement.
March's record here is one Of start
ling achievement, despite obstacles.
To him, perhaps more than to any
other single man. is due the credit of in
creasng ship facilities so that the
speeding up Of American troop move
ments conld be accomplished. When he
returned from Europe he called in war
leaders. and read them the dictum that
there must be more ships Ispring them

the two men systems of economy of
