SUICIDE CLUB SOLDIER LETS
 OLD CAT OUT
Joe Rooney, Machine Gunner, Tells What Was Behind
 Doughboys' Punch

Private, first class, Joseph E. Rooney of San Francisco was at Camp Lewis last summer. He wanted to get to France. He had almost given up hope when at Retreat one day Captain X, his company commander, said:
 Docs any man here want to volun- teer for the machine guns? It's a chance to get to France"
 Rooney stepped out with about six other strapping fellows of the West. Captain x looked them over.
 "You understand, men, that you are Joining a suicide club?''
 He got no answer and his eyes twinkled because he knew that they knew.
 Those fellows got to France in a hurry. Rooney is one of the survivors of that half dozen but even he was shot up in the Argonne and Is over there yet. He is with the 347th Machine Gun Battalion of the Ninety. first Division and has been cited for bravery in action.
 His sister wrote cheering letter which he received in hospital and here Is what Joe wrote back to her:
 Tt Is surely fine to hear how the folks at home appreciate my efforts. It was the thought and love for his folks at home that made the American boy fight so hard"
 In that one sentence lies the secret of the success of Americas arms. Joe Rooney in his modest way let the cat out of the bag
 Those American boys" want the folks at home to stay with them yet while. It will bring tears to their eyes when the cables carry this mes- sage: America has oversubscribed the Victory Liberty Loan"
 For they will know that the folks at home are still with them.

WHY SUFFER so?

Why suffer from a bad back, from sharp, shooting twinges, headaches, dizziness and distressing urinary ills? People around here recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Could you ask for stronger proof of merit?
 Mrs. J. G. Lambert, 320 N. Pleasant St., Prescott, Ariz., says Some twelve years ago when I was living at Los Angeles, Cal, my kidneys were in bad shape. My back ached as though it were broken. No one can realize how kidney trouble makes one suffer until they have it. Dizziness and severe headaches bothered me and l always felt drowsy and depressed. had used many different kidney remedies, but nothing seemed to help me any. Fi- nally, l began using Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon cured me-"
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Lambert had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

HEATING GOALS ON THE
 HEADS OF HUNGRY HUNS

PARIS, March 20-(By MaiD An Arizona man, Mir. John E. Perry. of Miami, is helping to heap coais of fire upon the head of the hapless Hun. Those who have heard the story of the German prison camps told by thousands of repatriated al- lied soldiers in every language from Servian to Russian, may not be par ticularly enthusiastic about it, but the Y. M. C. A. is now repeating among the prisoners held by the American Expeditionary Forces, the same sort of work that they were permitted to do for our own coun- trymen in the German prison camps, Among those active in the work, which has already reached about 45. 900 prisoners, is Mir. Perry of Miami.
 The Huns that cried Kamerad be- fore the terrific assaults of Americas fighting doughboys are kept in en- closures, about 450 to each enclosure. and under the guard of some eighty American soldiers. The greatest number of these enclosures are situ- ated near Bordeaux, Bar-le- Due and St. Nazaire.
 One of the fundamental ideas be- hind the welfare work for the captured Germans is that camp discipline with in the enclosure. is greatly facilitated if the men are kept from getting restless and if facilities for self-bet- terment are generously provided. Of course all the work of the "Y" is under the direct supervision of the American Army authorities and ap- proved by them.
 From furnishing free seeds for the prisoners war gardens to supplying text books in their own language, supplies for athletics, sheet music and instruments, games and writing paper, the work of the War Prison CTS Aid Department of the Y.M.CA. covers a wide and varied range. One of the features that tends to add to the interest of the prisoners in the work is the fact that they themselves have chance to determ- inc, within certain limitations, the nature and scope of the service rem dered. It is an ideal which appeals strongly to the Germans who have heretofore had most of their activi- ties prescrlbed for them from outside sources entirely.
 In each prison camp enclosure is a committee of seventeen members, known as Y. M. c. A. Help Commit tee, which is chosen by the prisoners themselves. From this number sub committees have been formed, each of which has an English speaking member to keep all the records. These subcommittee include one on educa- tion, entertainment, athletics, music, welfare, religious work and camp service. The Y. M.s c. A. secretary in. charge of the enclosure may meet with any or all of the committees and help to direct the work in accor- dance with the general plans of the organization.
 Special stress has also been laid on developing local talent and the men are encouraged to supply their own entertainments. In January, when the work was in the formative stage, only five entertainments were given, but there were thirteen in February. Twelve educational class es were held in January, but by Feb ruary the number had increased to forty. There were distributed dur ing these two months no less than 21 300 books and pamphlets.

Visitors Arriving for the Summer
 Many strangers are seen on the streets the past few days, which means that Flagstaff is soon to be full of summer visitors. Those who have been here and know the many allurements the summer season prom ises have begun to come back, and those who have never been here but only have heard of Flagstaff's won- derful climate and of the many near by attractions are planning to come. The hotels already have many guests and there are few vacant houses in town.
 Gone to Phoenix
 MT. and Mrs. Clyde Harvey left on Monday night for Phoenix, where they hope the warm weather and lower al titude will prove of benefit to Mir. Harvey, who has been confined to his bed for several weeks suffering, it is thought, from the after-effects of two attacks of influenza. The many friends of this popular young couple hope to have them back home soon.

The one who is skillful enough to grab the neck of the chicken is rewarded with the chicken.

IRREPARABLE LOSS TO WORLD
Treasures Of Louvain Library, De-
stroyed by the Huns, Can by No
Possibility Be Replaced.

The completeness with which the
famous library Of Louvain was de-
stroyed comes out in the report of
the American committee which has
been visiting the ruin with view to
building new library of LOuvain,
which is to be the Stree gift Of the.
United States" Some of the walls, pill
lars and buttresses remain standing,
and even retain their carvings and
sculptures, but the idea of rebuilding
the library has been abandoned. OF
the contents of the Louvain library
nothing at all is left; the few volumes
that were found still retaining their
shape crumbled when touched. Aside
from the thousands Of volumes that
can be replaced the ruin contains the
ashes of at least a thousand manu-
scripts that were priceless, because it
would be impossible to replace them.
There were, one may admit, more
widely important things in the world,
for example, than the two autograph
manuscripts of Dionysius Carthusien-
sis, but Louvain was proud to possess
those specimens of his handwriting,
and all the wealth of the United
States cannot give them back. Chris

Last Of c,lapooias Dies.

Down around Cottage Grove, Ore,
the old-timers are only discussing what
they remember Of the Calapooia Indian
tribe. The last specimen of the tribe,
Sam Fern, went to the happy hunting
grounds few days ago and the peO-
pie at Cottage Grove are wondering
what will become of the land which
the Calapooia tribe was using. Some
of it is exceptionally fertile land. The
tribe got it's name from the range
of mountains in that vicinity, or vice
versa, and the Calapooia were always
a peaceful band. This tribe went
through the great fire which swept the
coast range about century ago, when
the only way sthe Indians could save
themselves was to remain in the rivers
for several days. The fire was so in
tense that the water became warm.
Calapooia Indians declared that the
wild animals also fled to the river and
wolves and deer padded around to-,
gether in perfect harmony.-Po Portland

Artist VS.. Photographer.

Early in the submarine campaign,
one of our boats was given a coat of
camouflage, and when the vessel sailed
from it's pier in the North river, New
York, the owners sent a photographer
two or three piers down the river to
photograph the ship as she went by.
He took the picture, writes A. Russell
Bond, in his Inventions Of the Great
War;" but when the negative was de-
veloped. much to his astonishment, he
found that the boat was not all on the
plate. In the finder of his camera, he
had mistaken a heavy band of black
paint for the stern Of the ship, quite
overlooking the real stern, which was
painted grayish white. The artist
had fooled the photographer and at a
distance of not more than 200 or 300
yards.
