Yanks In Hunland

Souvenirs Home

COBLENZ, May 21.-Soldieis of
the American army of occupation in
the region of Coblenz have been send
ing home more souvenirs recently
than at any previous time since the
Americans reached the Rhine. At

defeated army, but of late the SOL

and other articles made of pottery.
Within the American area of the
east bank of the Rhine there are sew

working overtime during the past few
weeks, turning out souvenirs for the
soldiers. All kinds of pottery pieces
are made, bearing the soldiers name
and unit while he watches the process
ofmanufacture. At the American
postoffice in Coblenz officers estimate
that about sixty mail sacks of souve-
niers are shipped to the United States
every day.

Plans to Solve
Housing Problem

DETROIT, May 23.-Drcams OF
owning his own little home-hereto-
fore largely a dream to the working
man-are about to become reality.
What is regarded as possibly the
greatest step in solving big eco
nomic question and along with it an
idea for large manufacturers and
tinanciers of the country to follow
in combating the grave housing sit
uation in every big community, has
been advanced by Henry Ford.
Workingmen at the Ford plant in
Dearborn will be able to purchase
their own home, live in comfort and
no longer will have to commute be-
tween the city and plant, under a
new housing plan designed for Ford
workers.
To build home which the worker
could afford was the first problem
and officials fthe Ford plant, with
the assistance of real estate men,
apparently have solved the question.
Building of uniform homes in large
numbers would save much expense
in construction, lower the cost to the
workingmen and further would bring
about the quickest relief to the pres
ent home shortage situation.
A special mill to saw the raw ma
terial in uniform sizes is now under
construction. Material for large
number of homes can be cut by this
method cheaply and quickly. This,
it is figured by the Ford company, is
where the expense and time can be
saved.
The plan will have trial this sum-
mer. Pans call for the building of
5000 houses. Land has been bought
and hundreds of lots already have
been laid out. Actual construction
of the homes awaits the completion
of the mill
While the plan was originally de-
signed for Ford worKIngmen, homes
will be sold to others desiring to To-
cate in Dearborn, but is figured that
upwards of 80 percent will go to en-
ployes of the plant.

Daughters Suitor
Is Slain By Father

DANVILLE, VA, May 23.-News
has been received here of the killing
near Gretna of Charles Neal by Lee

er, under similar circumstances to
the shooting of Robert Spencer by
a Baptist minister near Richmond

to Indy Barrett were unwelcome
and was told to stay away. Satur-
day Neal is reported to have gone
to the home of Barrett in semi
intoxicated condition.
The girls father met him at the
door with a shotgun, and a violent
quarrel ensued, this resulting in Bar

DEMPSEY-WILLARD
Comparison of Two Boxers Difficult
Records Against Same Men.
n. G.. HAMILTON

II. -. IA YIN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 23.-There is
small chance to draw true line of
comparison between Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey.
In the first place, the men are en-
tirely different in style and tempera-
ment. Willard is slow, takes lots of
punishment, and is not the heavy
puncher that Dempsey is. He fights
because that is his business.
Dempsey is fast, punches with pile
driving power, and fights because he
likes it.
Records considered as matters of
prowess, show four men who have
faced each principal in Tex Richards
big bouts. They are Arthur Pelkev,
Gunboat Smith, Charley Miller and
Carl Morris.
Of the lot, there isn't one who
could last with Dempsey, and Willard
didn't stop one of them.
Pelkey and Willard boxed ten un-
successful rounds in New York, and
there was no decision; he lasted less
than round with Dempsey in Den
yer.
Gunboat Smith, at that time, at
the very top of his career, gave Jess
fine cutting in San Francisco, al
though the Big Champion has always
claimed the decision was wrong.
This was a twenty-round go, and
Dempsey met Smith twice, once get
ting a decision over him in a four
round bout in California and the sec
out round stopping him in two rounds
in Buffalo. Smith was foored nine
times in the latter bout before he f.
nally stayed down.
Charley Miller and Jess Willard
fought four rounds to draw in Cal
ifornia. 1t required less than round
for Miller to sleep when he met
Dempsey.
Carl Morris and Willard staged a
very tame bout in New York, the
show going ten rounds. Morris once
lost to Dempsey on a foul in six
rounds, after taking a beating. The
next time Dempsey gave big Carl
the usual one round dose.

skilled artisans during the war will
have to leave and seek employment
in the semi-skilled lines.
Brownie said that "for the pur-
pose of promoting confidence be-
tween the employers and men, the
A. S. E. will insist that the employ
ers go through the formality or rec
ognizing the pre-war rights and priv
ileges in toto (including the old limi-
tations upon women labor.) This, he
said, would demonstrate the employ
ers' good faith"
Then the A. S. E. will offer to re-
move some of the restrictions on wo-
men,
although the A. S. f. still holds
that women's place is in the home and
NOT in the work shop" he explain
ed, 1--WE admit the war has created
an abnormal condition. We must
make allowances for this.
another reason for the concession
is that the war needs brought into OK
istence a large number of machine
tools" repetition machinesl which
greatly increased production doing
automatically the work Of a skilled
handicraftsman. England cannot af-
ford to scrap these machines, or re-
tur nto the pre-war pace.
women can operate these machin-
es without physical injury to them
selves. So we say, "where possible
keep women out of industry. Where
she must work, place her where she
can labor without handicap"
Before the war women did not
work in the mechanical trade at all
except to a limited extent in a few
motor car and cycle factories.
In the cotton, linen, and boot and
shoe industries they did not work al
jobs which organized labor Classics
in the realm of the engineer" (me
chanic.)

generally in good condition and some

corn is not yet completed. Condi-

which shows poor stands over most
of the area. Much cotton remains
to be planted Wheat is about all
headed and in most sections is in
good to excellent condition. Reports
from the eastern portion state that
it is heading short. Rust has APP
peared in some counties and the crop
is in need of sunshine. Garden truck.
potatoes, hay and oats are looking
well, but would be greatly benefited
by warmth and sunshine. Some
clover and alfalfa were harvested
during the week. Tobacco plants are
fine and plentiful. There was some
transplanting of tobacco and sweet
potato sets, but considerable remains
to be done. Apples are dropping to
some extent and the prospects for this
crop are generally not good, The
week was mostly unfavorable for
Strawberries.

Whiskey Disguised

CHARLESTON, W. VA, May %
BlufFing state authorities in several

Virginia have gone themselves one
better in their effort to beat the bone
dry law in this state, according to
! information received by the state de-
partmcnt, in charge of enforcing the
prohibition law.
According to the announcement
made by the authorities, bootleggers
visited an "oasis" in Kentucky and
loaded a wagon with contraband
liquor. They labeled each case of
whiskey "nitroglycerine" and started
to the West Virginia oil fields. No
one stopped them or made any eff
fort to do so. The wagon drew up
in the town of Ripley, in the Jack
son county oil district, and the town
marshal appeared on the scene,
A crowd had gathered, but saw the
signs on the boxes on the wagon and
retrcated. From distance, the town
marshal ordered the men to not stop
in the town. Reluctantly, it seems,
the men proceeded and made their
destination in the oil fields in the
central part of the state and their
approach through the whole country
