PUTTING PEP INTO SOLDIERS

Many things are done by the Ameri-
can Red Cross for the soldier boys
while they are still in the United States,
one in particular being the canteen SER
vice to troops in transit. There are 500
such canteens in the country now.
A group of $50 soldiers passed thru
Chicago the other day and the local
Red Cross canteen gave them box
luncheon. It was a typical offering
which was received by the men most
gratefully, Mrs Fletcher Dobyns, the
chairman of the canteen service, de-
scribed the scene.
eve were the first women to whom
these soldiers had talken in two or
three months. The boys left greatly
encouraged and cheered by the personal
attention which the Red Cross had put
into their lives.
Encouragement is the big thing in
the canteen service. 1t isn't merely
the food and entertainment we furnish
the men, for they do not lack food in
the army. The soldiers resumed their
journey waving their caps and crying
God bless you as far in the distance
as we could hear them"
Our boys in camps and at the front
also know that the Red Gross, through
it's home service department, will see
to it that their families do not suffer
while they are away, and this also con-
tributes nightly to sustaining their
spirits.

The fact that this is labor's war is
recognized by no element more clearly
than it is by the American workingmen.
They know that their opportunities lie
in freedom and not in autocratic rule.
The part that they play at this crisis in
the worlds affairs is of tremendous
Importance; that they recognize and
acknowledge the situation is something
the Nation is grateful for and proud Of.

JOURNEY IS NEVER FINISHED
Trip Over "sIedpy Road" Found by
Doctor to De a Sure Cure
for WakefuIness.

1t is hard for me to remember now
that my knowledge of the Sleepy Road,
gained so many years ago, came only
Through the chance bit of advice
dropped by a wise, kind, weary old
doctor as he shu1fled, at midnight,
down the corridor of the silent hos
pital. Whatever was the errand of
life or death that had called lin In
such haste, he had time to stop and
give me a friendly word, although l,
a small and incorrigibly sleepless pa
tent, was sitting bolt upright among
the pillows in defiance of all his Or
ders, and was staring, wide-eyed, into
the hot, pain-haunted dark.
"You think you are never going to
be able to sleep again, don't your" he
observed; swell, shut your eyes and
do Just what tell you. Think of some
road that you know well, a good long
road that winds and turns and shows
you water and woods and hills. Keep
your eyes tight shut and travel along
1t In memory; go as slowly as you
can, recall every sight and sound and
perfume as you pass by. | have such
a road Of my own, the one I used to
walk to school when was eight years
old; have started out on it hun
,dred times, when / thought could not
sleep, but l never get very far. 1

bridge over Damon's creek, or per-

IS MAGICIAN AMONG FISHES
Little Puffer Escapes From Danger BY
Initiating Itself Until II Is Al
most Spherical In Shape.

1t is doubtless true that there are
no mermaids in the sea and no Nep.
tune with crown and flowing locks.
but the species of life that do exist
there are in many ways equally as
interesting as the NEUROLOGICAL folk.
Take the little puffer fish, for ex-
ample, which has attracted the at
tentiOn Of scientists from earliest
times on account of its shrewd habit
Of defending itself by imitation. The
moment 1t scents danger In the form
of large fish searching for dinner
1t instantly distends itself with water
until 1t becomes almost spherical in
shape, so that no ordinary fish could
swallow 1t, says the Popular Science
Monthly.
Director II. G. Townsend of the
New York aquarium. placed a few
good-sized soup or porgles in a tank
which contained dozen young puff
fers about two inches in length, which
the hungry soup attacked at once. In
stantly the baby buffers inflated them
selves and became almost globular In
form, so that the larger FISH were I'M
able to do more than knock them
about like toy balloons, too large to
be swallowed, and on which they
could get no hold, no matter how hard
they tried.

Sam Durkee had girl. Her name
was Ella Baynes. They appeared to

perfect confidence In each other, as all
couples do who are and have or aren't

with heavy mass of brown hair that

to her, which seemed not to lessen
her preference for him; 30 l reasoned
that they were surely soul-mates.
Miss Baynes lived in Kingfsher. 20
miles from the ranch. Sam lived on
a gallop between the two places.
One day there came to Kingfsher a
courageous young man, rather small,
with smooth face and regular features.

Takes Photographs by Magnetism


A school superintendent in Texas
has made some interesting investlga-
tons into the nature of the force that
a magnet exerts when 1t pulls on iron
and steel. Proceeding on the theory
that this force is analogous to the
waves of light and the waves of the
X-ray, he attempted to take photo
graphs by means Of 1t and got some
encouraging results. By shutting up
a magnet under a Photographic plate,
which rested upon several small OBJ
jects, in a perfectly dark chamber, for
a period of several days, he obtained
photographs Of the objects upon the
plate. II further research should show
that this effect was due solely to the
magnet the experiment might cast CON
siderable light on the problems of
magnetism.

NEW YORK, Nov. 96.-Hundreds Of
soldiers, sailors and marines broke
through a Gordon Of police surround
Ing Madison Square Garden last night
and attacked Internstioal Socialists,
who had atteded a mass meeting at
which Bolshevik doctrines were 'ex-
pounded. The men and women leaving
the hall broke and fled as the men in
uniform fled past the police, but were
pursued into side streets in all dlrec-
tions.
Four men and two women had been
arrested for displaying red flags within
an hour after the opening Of the meet
ing. TWO sailors had been taken into
custody for the threatening attitude
they assumed toward the Socialists
There were several hundred soldiers
and sailors inside the building, pre-
pared to resent attacks on the Govern
ment, and recruits were being gathered
in the streets, although a strong Gordon
Of police had been thrown around the
building and the doors locked.
At 10 O'Clock several hundred soldiers
and sailors who had gathered in Madi-
son Square charged the mounted police
who had surrounded the building and
tried TO force an entrance. but were
driven back. They then organized a
mass meeting in the square. In the
meantime two more arrests had been
made for the display OF red flags.

NO GENERAL CUT
In RENT SCALE

According to local real estate brokers
there is little likelihood Of general re-
duction in rents here for the next six
months. Charles C. Kuriz. Of the VII
mington Trust Company. however,
says there has been a reduction In the
rents Of those houses which have rent
ed for from $50 10 500 a month. IL Is
said the rental question brings on the
amount OF salaries paid workmen, high
wages meaning high rents.
Mr.. Kurtz says local rents seem TO be
reasonable and so long as men IN the
employ Of the various companies main
tain their positions at good salaries
there is not likely TO be any complaint.
But when retrenchments come and
the amount ~ pay is cut down, then
look out for trouble And, Of course,
cannot tell when that time Will
arise"
The majority Of real estate men were
OF the opinion that there would be no
decrease at least prior TO June % next,
or the ending Of the rent year.
