Alabama Flyer Who
Escaped Hun Prison
Visitor In MemDhis

Capt. FRANKLIN r. O'Leary, of Mont .
gomery, Ala, who bears the distinction
OF being the only prisoner who ever
escaped safely from the German prison
camp at Karlsruhe, is a visitor in Mem
phis. He expects to remain here sew
eral days.
Capt. SO'Leary was captured by the
Germans when his plane was shot down
at a height of 400 feet. His observer
was killed by the fall and Capt. OiLeary
suffered a broken and crushed leg. He
awoke eight days later to find himself
IN a German hospital where he had been
operated upon and a set Of steel bones
placed IN his leg.
After his recovery, he was placed
In prison and remained there eigh
months, suffering unusually severe
hardships and seeing several men shot
down in, cold blood and inhuman tor
lures applied to them.
With eight other men, Capt, OLeary
dug a tunnel under the adobe wall sur
rounding the barracks. Some Of the
men who were in this escape were shot
down before they had rraversed the 200
miles to the allied lines. The ninth
man leaving the tunnei was killed by a
guard. After they had been away from
the camp for a short time, they over
powered several German soldiers and
donned their uniforms. With these.
they boarded a troop train but their
Identity was soon discovered and more
men were shot to death. Capt. OLeary
escaped by jumping from the train and
swimming a river.
Capt. .O'Leary has Il Hun planes to
his credit during his service with the
Canadian and British flying forces.

AND VEGETABLES
IN PLENTIFUL SUPPLY

The householder who buys fruit or
green vegetables is still up against the
proposition of making a dollar grow
where two bits grew before, and the
man who has a peace garden at home
in his back yard Is a fortunate indi-
vldual this season.
Although fruits and vegetables are
now in plentiful supply in Memphis, re-
tail prices are ranging high and II the
growers are obtaining their share Of
the profits, truck and fruit growers
ought to retire al the end of the sea
son with small fortunes.
Summer peaches from the OZarks are
coming into market this week. Thus
far nearly all the early apples received
by commission men are from points
in Missouri, and they are still rather
green. In small quantities apples re-
tail at about 20 TO 80 cents a dozen.
Tomatoes are lower. but that doesn't
mean that they're cheap, far from it.
Tennessee tomatoes are retailing at
about 80 cents a small basket, but then
two weeks 6 they were 65 cents.
Cantaloupes and watermelons have
been in the market for weeks. Melons
are coming in from Georgia now, but
a rather small one costs a dollar. as
against a dime a few years q But
they'll be a little cheaper when the
homegrown crop shows up.
Cantaloupes ONE from the far away
Imperial Valley, Cal, and a few from
Missouri cost at retail from a dime
up. Dealers say they'll be high all
season.

ST. PETERS PICNIC IS
ATTRACTING INTEREST

The committees from the Catholic
parishes which are in charge of the ar
engagements for the annual Fourth of
July picnic at St, Peters ~orphanage,
have found that there is unusual In
terest in the forthcoming entertain
ment, and believe that the attendance
this year probably will break all pre-
Vious records.
The grounds will be turned over to
the public for the day, Scores of re-
freshments booths have been built and
the entertainment features will be many
and such as will appeal to everyone,
from the children to the grandparents.
Each parish will have a booth where
meals will be served at noon or in the
evening. and those meals alone will be
worth going a long distance to obtain.
The good sisters in charge of ST,
Peters hope to have a large patronage.
The buildings there are filled with little
children who must be fed and clothed
and these expenses require many thou
sand dollars each month,

ONCE FAT OFFICE IS
NOW LOSING GAME

The epidemic of Spanish influenza,
the coming of the Christmas holidays,
with the other causes which lessened
the activities Of the criminal courts,
caused ]. j. Williams to lose 81, 700 In
his first term in the office Of criminal
court clerk. To date, Mr.. Williams
figured that his office has Melted him
5000 over and above his expenses. The
figures are $500 income, and IS, 500
expenditures for nine months.
In days gone by, the office of crimi-
nal court clerk was worth So, 900 to
$40, 900 a year from the fees which
dribbled in, Courts were more lax in
those days, and the conduct of the
sheriffs office possibly was not what
1t is today. Recent legislation has
Topped off many Of the fees.
Now the criminal court clerk keeps
the Jail record and prepares jury lists,
and his honOrarium is a Thank you
and frequently he doesn't get even
that.
1t is probable that the county court
will be petitioned for relief unless bust
ness picks up,

About 5000 soldiers and sailors are
now training In the government voca-
uonal schools In preparation for new
lines of activity In which their disR-
bilittes will not prove a serious hRndi-
cap, according 10 A. =. B~erghauser,
special agent for the government voca-
tional schools for disabled soldiers and
sailors, who arrived here Monday and
established headquarters in the home
service section Of the Red Cross. where
he Is anxious to meet all disabled SOL
diers and sailors Of Memphis and Vi
entity who contemplate taking up new
lines Of work.
Mr.. Berghauser says that he finds
the people very much interested In the
government vocational schools and a
large number of former soldiers already
have called upon him.
One Memphis man, a former lleuten-
ant who received bullet wounds that
seriously impaired his efficiency in his
former occupation, called on Mr.. Berg
hauser Monday and is making arrange.
ments to enter Columbia university for
a complete cours in business training,
h course of training at Columbia will
not cost the former lieutenant any
thing, but is a part Of the work the
government is doing for Its disabled
fighters.
In another instance a Memphis man
who was a painter before he entered
the army. was discharged with what
was considered Il slight disability,
Since his discharge his injury has be-
come serious and he finds that he can
not follow his former trade, He is a
man who has had no extensive educa-
ton or training for n other line of
work. Mr.. Berghauser says that this
man will be given An examination by
medical experts and a corrective opera
ton If that will relieve his disability.

choose a new line of work that he can
do and he will be trained for it at
one of the government schools,
Take Your Discharge Papers.
Applicants are requested to bring
their discharge papers Of military rec
ord when they call in regard to taking
up the vocational training,
Mr.. Berghauser can be seen at the
office Of the home service section until
July 3 between the hours OF 9 a. m.
and 4 p, m, After 4 O'Clock he will be
glad to meet all disabled service men
at the Hotel Chisca. This will be con-
V%enient for those who can have the
time to call upon him only during the
evening hours.
He states that the federal board is
anxious to get in immediate touch with
all service men as the government is
e~ndeavoring to have a record of every
man. that men need not decide now
In what line Of work they would like to
be trained. '
The federal board has established
training stations over the country where
men can try out what they are best
suited to do, find out what vocation Is
best suited to their talents or ability
or in what line Of work they see an
opportunity to make the best liveli-
hood.
On July 3 Mr.. ~Berghauser will go to
Somerville, Tenn, which will be his
headquarters for receiving and giving
information to all Fayette county men.
He will return to Memphis later to
complete the work here.

After The Fire.

When your neighbor yel1s in the
middle of the night and you see a
lurid glare reflected against your
windows you dash out of bed and
work without regard to your powers
of endurance to help quench the
flames. You will fight, yes, and per-
haps risk your life in an effort to
signalize your willingness to help.
There is no suggestion of hesitancy
about your determination to offer
everything you have in the way OF
assistance while the flames are eat
ing their way through your neigh
boris property. You act on a
natural impulse to render all that is
in you while the excitement is at its
height.
But when the fire is out and there
remain only smoking embers; when
the crowd has dispersed and the
fervor of emotion has passed, leav-
ing the dispossessed family viewing
the ruins of the home, how, many OF
those same helpful neighbors are
there who will offer shelter, protec-
tion and the opportunity to gel
another home to the unfortunate
family?
1t doesn't take much of a patriot
to offer help when the fire is raging
but when the embers cool and the
incident seems closed it takes q
pretty good kind of a sport to stand
by and Finish the job" when the
excitement is all over.
There will be little background OF
bloodshed, shot and she'll, wounded
soldiers and heroism in the appea
of the Victory Liberty Loan, as il
previous Loan campaigns. That
like the, fire, is nearly all over. II
is now a question of finishing the
job, paying the bills and putting
things on even a better basis thar
when the alarm was first sounded.
| What kind of neighbor are you!
