 "Gob" Turns Out Best Humor
 Take it from Major David s, Barry Jr., of the marine corps, the navy has it over the marine corps and the army in one thing-the humor of the en- listed man. The "gob" has humor unmatched.
 Recently Major Barry and some other officers were viewing the ground in the vicinity of the large naval reservations adjacent to Hamp- ton Roads. Va. planning some trai in ing maneuvers. They came upon q group of bluejackets repairing motor trucks, another running q portable sawmill and another laying down a narrow gauge railway.
 One "gob." evidently a new-caught one, was swinging a sledge, trying to spike down a rail. He missed the spike about every other stroke. An other "gob" viewed the proceedings with disgust. Splitting to lee'ard con temptuously, he addressed the or | fender in this manner:
 And you call yourself a sailor! Hsll! Why, you cant even build a railroad"
 That's nothing" remarked re- tired naval officer to whom the tale was told. Tn the Spanish war we had crew aboard the little converted yacht on which I was serving that lit erally could do everything. One day the safe in the captains office re- fusra tn open, and nobody knev the combination. We simply passed the

Stirring Days When San Francisco Was Raw Mining Camp, Full of Gambling HelIs, Recalled by
 Recital.

Los GatOS, Cal.-Ncnrly ninety years of age but still hale and hearty, \. <. Butler of this place has just written hiS memoirs of those stirring days when san Francisco was gold mining camp, and when law and order were administered with liberal hand by the VigiIantes.
 Mr. Butler is the last known living member of the mysterious band which brought order out of chaos in the old days when gold was free, life was cheap, and every other shack in camp was a boozing den and gambling hell.
 "I came to San Francisco in '53, said Mir. Butler. "One of the first early morning sights that greeted me was a dead man lying on street cor ner The city was full of thieves and vngnhondS and murders were of daily or nightly occurrence.
 What Started VigIantes.
 "The killing of United States Mar shal Richardson hy man named Cora and the death of James King, editor of the Bulletin, at the hands of one Casey started the vigilance movement. Tine Low and Order league already was in existence but its efforts carried little weight with the element it was supposed to hold In check. It wus strong for legal procedure, the result of which. more often than not, was freedom for the malcfaCtor.

Japan LARGER Than germany.

In the Worlds Work there is a chart
which shows comparison of Germany
and the Japanese empire. Japan is
the greater of the two both in territory
and population. Germanys area lex
elusive of oolonies) is 20S,7S0 square
miles, while that of Japanese empire
is 260,73S square miles. This includes
the peninsula of Korea, which is
part of the japanese nation. but it
does not include Manchurian and 9TH
er Asatfc. territory, in which Japan
has secured ninety-nine-yea leases of
ports and railroads as we'll as bust
ness advantages of all sorts and min
ing rights. Germany's population at
the beginning of the great war was
about 67,000,O00. There are now H.
100000 people living under the Jap
anese flag, and there are also great
numbers of them scattered over the
islands of the Pacific and in foreign
countries.

Material for Explosive.

AS to the source of the toluol need
ed for explosives. it is pointed out that
there has been recently a great in
crease in the number of by-product
coke ovens in this country However
says the Scientific American, if 20,00O,-
600 tons of coke are made In these
ovens during the present year we shall
get from this source only 100000
gallons of toluol, which is about one
fourth as much as the government es-
timated it would need for munitions.
Another promising measure recently
inaugurated is the stripping of city
gas of this material, which can be
spared without any serious detriment
to the gas, and amounts to about .O4
gallon for each 1000 feet of gas. It
Is estimated that ten of the largest
city gas plants of the country will
yield about 100000 gallons Of

BORN OF WAR

a It Is difficult yet to value accurately
the war has brought to our national
life or pruned from it. The things
we think little now may appear to
4 posterity the greatest The Thrift
\ Stamp idea seems to be one of these.
J Originated as a war emergency meas
ure, It has taken hold; has appealed
| to the common sense of America, and
may yet shape the destiny of the
nation. aasa-
| 1t is patent, now that the war Is
over, that the Thrift Stamp has come
to stay. II we get nothing else out of
the war but the habit of saving, which
begets the corollary simple living, we
will have reaped the full fruit of the
war. For a thrifty democracy is
firm democracy, potent democracy,
a democracy strong enough to pre-
serve itself.
man who saves is better citizen
than the man who does not save. He
becomes stakeholder in his govern
ment and he is jealous for the well |
fare Of that government in war and
in peace. In war ne will fight for.it |
with his life. In peace he will protect |
it from those who would tear down.
AS America saves from this day on
so shall she grow in benign power and
in the eyes Of mankind. "A bank &C.
count for every American citizen"
should be one of our national slogans.
The Thrift and War Savings Stamp
idea Is freighted with mighty change
for the better In CUR national life.
The Thrift Stamp is backed by the
United States government Without
doubt it is the greatest investment
ever offered and it is in such form
that every American, big and little,
can take advantage @ it.
