an American magician, when a long

Job and the title"
The Jurors concurred in De Bierre's
verdict and the woman, who gave her
name as Miss Leyton, signed on the
dotted line to play a part in a stage
production
Del Berre wants to present a con-
trast in his show. He claims to have
in his cast the most beautiful woman
on the stage. The ugly one was

PLAN TO DEPORT
EMMA GOLDMAN
Attorney General Palmer Calls
Woman Radicals Claim to
Citizenship "Fallacious.'

Emma Goldman. who. has preached
years. will soon be on her way back
to Russia IL Attorney General Pal
mer has his way.
The Attorney General in q report
to the Senate today declared that the
womau's claim to citizenship was
"fallacious." He declared that the
Goldman woman was twenty-four
years old when her father was natu-
rallied. and thus she was barred
from inheritIng citizenship by her
fathers pledging allegiance to this
nation.
Commissioner Caminetti of the I'm
migration Bureau now has before
him the record of Emma Goldman
and an appeal for her deportation,
and a decision is expected in few
days.
The Senate was also informed by
the Attorney General that Alexander
Berkman. by his own admission, is
an anarchist.
The connection Of both Goldman
and Berkman with anarchistic move
ments in this country was stressed
by Palmer, who said the activities of
the Union of Russian Workers, one
of the most dangerous organization
in America, and against which the
Government has directed a vigorous
campaign, has been traced directly
to the Goldman-Berman propaganda
headquarters.

ANTERED BULWARK

Plain citizens, stockholders in the
governments OF the English speaking
nations, form an impregnable bulwark
against assaults of revolutionists who
plot to overthrow those governments,
in the opinion of Gideon Robertson,
Canadian minister of labor.
Robertson declared the fact that
workers had millions of dollars in
vested in Canadian war loans was one
of the reasons why the red wave had
failed to progress in the Dominion.
These people, he said. "are a bul.

SAILOR SLEEPS 81
DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
Cob Who Took Long Nap
Under Bungalow Loses
101 Pounds.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. Hilary
Joseph Harley, twenty-six years old,
and an enlisted man in the navy. has
just awakened from a sleep of fifty
one days. Before he went to sleep he
weighed 1876 pounds. When he awoke
he weighed eighty-five. He had
neither food nor drink during his long
slumber.
None of his comrades knew where
he was. He was reported missing
from day to day and finally was listed
as a deserter. The usual reward was
offered for his apprehension.
Harley felt so drowsy one day late
in September he crawled under a bun
galOw at the Hampton Roads naval
base, intending to take a nap with
little fear of being seen by the officer
of the day. He fell asleep and did
not come from under the bungalow
until last Wednesday. He says he had
no idea what had happened. He felt
like he had just awakened from a
sound sleep and, excepting a dryness
in his throat, he did not notice any
thing was wrong until he attempt cd
to stand on his feet. He could not
stand. His clothes seemed to have
grown twice too large for him and his
hands were so thin the bones almost
protruded at the knuckIes.
Comrades came to his assistance and
he was sent TO tho hospital at the
base. Naval officials decline to dis
cuss the case freely, hut it is said that
Harley has drank seven gallons OF
milk since last Wednesday. He has
gained several pounds. but he is not
yet regarded as being out OF danger.
Surgeons from all over the country
are coming here to take a look at
Harley.

by local applications. as they

DUE TO SUDDEN EXPANSION
Why Thunder RumbIes Is Explained
by Scientists as Being Very
Simple Matter.

Why does thunder rumble? The
path OF lightning flash through the
air may be several miles in length.
All along this path the sudden ex-
pansion of the heated air-a true ex-
plosion-sets up an atmospheric wave.
which spreads in all directions, and
eventually registers upon our ears as
thunder. Since the lightning dis
charge is almost instantaneous, the
sound wave is produced at very nearly
the same time along the whole path.
But the sound wave travels slowly
through the air. Its speed is approx
imately 1000 feet a second. Thus the
sound from the part Of the lightning's
path that is nearest to us reaches us
first, and that from other parts of the
path afterward, according to their dis
lance. Intermittent crashes and BOOM
ing effects are due chiefly to irregu-
larities In the shape Of the path.-Pop-
ular Mechanics Magazine.

WHY
Soldiers in British Army
Carry Sticks

1t Is one of the regulations of the
British army that every soldier, when
walking out, must carry in his hand a
stick, in order to preserve soldierly
appearance and prevent anything like
slouching in his gait. This rule, says
Dundee Advertiser, applies to all
ranks, and should anyone seek to
evade 1t he would find his progress
barred by the sentry at the barrack
gate or entrance to camp.
Privates generally carry light canes
or "swagger sticks noncommissioned
officers fairly stout sticks, and officers
invariably &C in for the more expen-
sive kind.
From the earliest times drill SER
geants and drum majors have carried
sticks, and the fashion may have come
from that fact.
Soldiers, as rule, buy their own
sticks, but In one or two regiments a
recruit is presented with one when he
gets his uniform. If this gets lost,
however. he has to buy the next and
subsequent ones.

WILL NOT REDUCE WAGES
Railroad Administration Makes Impor-
.tant Announcement Concerning
Conditions to Follow Peace.

The railroad administration plans no
reduction in railroad employees wages
under peace conditions, and likewise
no material lowering of freight and
passenger rates, it was stated authori-
tatively. Both are likely to remain at
the present levels, although with many
readjustments, during the period Of
changing the nation from war to
peace.
Even with recent advances railroad
wages now are not as high as those
paid for similar service In war indus
tries, it was declared; and consequent
ly railroad administration officials feel
that there is no war bonus to be taken
off the wages of rail employees.
Events of the last days have caused
pronounced movement of men from
war industries to the railroads, where
they are Insured greater permanency
Of employment, officials said Many of
these, particularly laborers, will be
given work on the railroads delayed
program of improvements, which have
been held up mainly because of lack
of labor.

ALL NOW LEAD SIMPLE LIFE
Why Sensible Men and Women Are
Doing Without Luxuries to Which
They Were Accustomed.

Every sensible man and woman to-
day is simple-lifer. There are so
many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
In with prohibitions that we are max
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough, the
large majority of us are feeling all the
better for It'll We walk where we once
motored and the exercise sets the stag
nant blood in our veins running with
fresh vigor. We eat less and digest
more. So little have we felt the depri-
walton that most of us are declaring
that for the future 1t is to be the
simple life forever" There are. Of
course, some who struggle In their alb
surd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time is mainly spent in evading
the orders of the food controller or in
discovering new sources Of extrava-
gance. Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
of simple-lifers. You cannot have
your cake and eat 1t. Our cake today
is victory in the great war for free
dom, truth and justice. That can only
be ours il we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved so much.
The simpIe-lifer Is doing his duty and
that is why he Is happy His IS the

Why a Nod Means "Yes.r

The idea of nodding to mean 'Yes''
comes from the opposite of the action
which, as may be supposed, indicates a
"No.' When the young animal was
anxious to accept the offered food 1t
made an effort to get at the food quick
ly. Hence the pushing forward Of
the head and the open mouth and an
expression of gladness. You will mo-
tice If you see anyone nod the head
to indicate YES" that the lips are
open rather THIN closed and that there
is usually smile or an indication Of
smile to accompany it. In other
wordss the nod to mean 'sYes" is only
another way Of saying II shall be
pleased. From "Book of Wonders"
