STRANGEST OF SHIP FREAKS
British Inventor Must at Least Be
Credited With the Possession of
Much Imagination.

Since that memorable day long ago
when our rude forefathers first ven
tured afioat in their dugOut canoes
many very curious ships have been
built. Perhaps the most extraordinary
Of all these freaks was the steamer
Connector, which was launched in
British waters In 1863.
The Connector was built i'm three
sections, each of which was, so to
speak, a ship of itself. The bow or
forward section, which was fitted up in
the usual way, was jOinted to the mid
ship section by means Of huge bolt
In such manner that, as the ship
pitched, it could rise or fall quite in
dependently of the other two sections.
Thus, as the ship met the waves a
kind of wriggle ran along the hull
First the bow section rose, then the
midship section followed suit, and
finally the stern section wriggled up
ward.
The craft passed safely through
some very severe trials, and even ven
tured out in heavy weather. The idea
was to build up ships in sections like
trains, so that any particular section
could be dropped at the various ports

DAY HONORED BY WELSHMEN
March the First Known the World
Over as Anniversary of the
Country's Patron Saint.

The first day of March has long been
observed as a special day by the peo-
pie of Wales and is called st. David's
day in honor of the good st. David,
patron saint of the Welsh, who lived
in the sixth century.
ST. David was said to have been the
son of a prince of Cardiganshire,
Wales, and is accredited with the
working of many miracles, especially
among the poor of the country. 1t was
said that when the saint first went
into the fields to preach to his follow
ers the ground on which he was stand
ing began to rise until it assumed
goodly height, and hencefOrth was his
pulpit.
For hundreds of years the Welsh
wore sprigs of leek-a plant with
broad bluish-green leaves and yellow
flower clusters-in their hats as sym
boil of recognition of the day. This Gus
tom was brought about, some say,
from the fact that in battle of the
Welsh against their old enemies, the
SaxOns, ST. David had ordered all
Welshmen to go into battle wearing
their native leek, not only to distin-
guish them from their enemies, but to
bring them good luck.
Other writer's argue that the badge
was worn more as fraternal sign and
because leek was grown in every Welsh
garden and was the favorite vegetable
of true WelShman.
Writers of the last century depicr
a typical Welsh garden as garden OF
onions, garlic and leek. Homely Incl
dents are told of Welshmen assisting
each other in farming and eating their
heks together. ceremony symbolic OF
hospitality and good fellowship.

The Attraction,

/ have friend in East Africa who
writes from a remote village that he
was much puzzled recently by the
marked interest in himself shown by
the natives, says the Clubman in Pail
Mall Gazette. First the mayor" In a
much-worn dresscoat and a fancy red
waistcoat (worn outside the coat) ar
rived and walked round and round the
Englishman at spot where he was
experimenting the erection of wire
less" Later the native gentleman re-
Quested that in the afternoon he
might bring his friends, which he did
to the number of a dozen and they,
lNxe he, proceeded to walk round the
soldier, peering curiously into his face
In the evening they returned with
food offerings. And the reason of this
fattering attention turned out to be
a gold tooth, which they imagined
must have grown in my friends mouth.

Peruvian Intoxicant.

Pepper berries are the basis of an
ancient and still cherished beverage
In Peru, which is popularity known as
chica de MOLE. II you will examine
a pepper berry in the first plump
stage of it's maturity, you will find
that the bitter resinousness is over
laid with a coating of sugary sweet
ness-a natural instance of sugar
coated pill-and it is at that stage
that the berries are gathered for
chicha manufacture. There is a cer-
tain quality about this brew, aside
from it's cheapness, that is of partic-
ular appeal to the Peruvian taste !;
but it is by no means temperance
drink. Indeed, it's consumption in
some parts Of Peru has gotten to be
something of the same sort of vice
that pulque drinking has become in
the valley of Mexico.

 SAYS CURRENCY IS AT
 BOTTOM LABOR TROUBLES

NEW YORK, May 22.-A New York Times dispatch quotes Lord d Aherton, English fiancier, as stat ing that currency problem is at the bottom of 80 per cent. of all the labor problems of the day. The de- preciation during the four years of war equalled that of 400 years from 1900 to 1700, and much more than occurred from 1700 to 1900. The paper currency of the leading countries in 1914 was estimated at $5,000, 0,00O,000 compared with $3o,ooo.opo,ooo today.

Vienna, April 23.-1n an appeal to
the Communists in Vienna, the Aus
trian government declares that If
they continue their efforts they will
bring about the total ruin of Austria
and probably cut off the food supply,

The Communists reply that there

The danger of the present situation

whether it will continue to support
the government. The Volkswehr has
been given possession of the public
buildings, including the Parliament

AT BORDEAUX
CHEERS u. S. TROOPS

Through the port of Bordeaux, AMI
along the mile-long Yankee pier at
Bassens, over $4,000 American dough-
boys have passed homeward since the
signing of the armistice. Every one
of those soldier lads has received free
all the sandwiches, doughnuts, and
coffee he could put away, a chintz-
bag freighted with cigarettes, choco-
late, shaving soap, and perhaps a pipe
or deck of playing cards, and finally
a handshake and "bon voyage" from
an American girl canteen worker in
service Of the American Red Cross.
The canteen Of the American Red
Cross at Bordeaux, like that at Brest
has hadaa busy time since the big
homeward movement Of American
troops began. This canteen opened
on Christmas Day, last, with a staff
OF eight young women managing it..
It has provided the "hand-out" meal,
the comfort bag, the handshake and
good wishes to as many as 10000
khaki-clad men in seven days.
At the Bassens pier-the pier which
scoffers said could not be built and
which ws actually constructed in a
space Of time to be measured in weeks
rather than the expected months
seven great ships, are berthed end to
end at m time. These transports
take over cargoes and bring back
li%ght-hearted men-men who are
light-hearted whether sound in wind
and limb or on crutches OF stretchers.
For all are going home.
They get real .doughnuts and sand
wiches with something to- them and
coffee, ;all of the kind mother used to
make, whether mother is in Portland,
Oregon, or Portland, Maine.
The canteen worker trudges along
the file of homebound men. "What
are you looking grouehy about" she
asks a soldier. That "gets" Bill.
"Who? Me? Grouchy? I amt
grorchy, no stree, ma'am." Bill grins,
and his nearby companions grin,
There's not a grouchy man on that
Bassens pier, for every mothers son
is well-fed, smoking, and-going

The Townley aggregation is busy fixing up and sending out
from their headquarters in st. Paul pages of plate matter to be
published by their paper relative to the taxation Of this state.
They are making a desperate effort to show that taxes will not be
greatly increased, but they can't do it. Figures won't lie, and the
cold facts handed out by State Auditor KosHzky absolutely shows
that our taxes will be doubled and trppled. OF course the fellow
who has not got anything but a little personal PROPERTY will es
