Plains Of Palestine TrampIed by Many
Of the MIohtIest Armies Known

march of the armies Of the Hittites,
the Egyptians, the Jews under Debo-
rah and Barak. the Philistines on
their way to the defeat Of Saul on
Mount Gilboa. Then came like q wolf

him Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon. The
Persian Cambyses swept through Pal

Titus and Hadrian all fought In Pales-

romantic struggle between Richard

years later the Holy Roman Emperor

under Selim the Grim marched down
from Aleppo and seized the country
on their way to the conquest of
Egypt. Nearly three hundred years

HOW A MAN PICKS A WIFE
Some Conclusions That Have Been
Reached by the Registrar at the
Boston City Hall.

Edward w. McGlennen, registrar at
keeps record of that city's marriages,
has found in his study of the subject
Of selection that association deter
mines a mans course In the selection
of his wife, and when you have chosen
your vocation you have automatically
chosen your lifemate at the same time,
observes the New York Herald. Mr..
McGlennen has found that tailors mar
! ry tailoresses, longshoremen choose
mattresses, many employees and clerks
marry stenographers, while profession
al men more often pick their wives
from the girls in society in which they
move.
After eighteen years of daily obser-
walton of the way and habits of pro-
lspective homemakers, Mr.. McGlennen
has come to the conclusion that prox-
unity is the chief determining factor
in a mans choice of a wife.
In the long and Misunderstanding
records the various averages of the
different vocations show that chauf-
feurs and cooks are attracted by do
mestics, while tailors, dressmakers and
milliners incline toward still closer re-
iationship. Salvation Army men choose
a Salvation Army lassie, the sea cap
tain picks a good housekeeper and
home body, while seamen generally
fall In love, when ashore, with wait
resses who serve their meals. Mr.. Nc
Glennen believes that good looks ant
good clothes are not such an fmpor
tant factor as generally believed
is all a matter Of environment. Tht
telephone operator is favorite will
the soldier, also the nurse who min
listers to him when wounded. Lunch
room proprietors more often MARI!
their cashiers, and so it goes on.
What puzzles Mr.. McGlennen, how
ever, Is why a mariner chose dent
lists assistant as life mate and hov
a street car conductor came to picl
out an actress for his wife. These ar
exceptions to the general rule.

Therefore an imperative telegram

the sounds Of excited feminine hustle,

THREE SHIFTS FOR
BEDS AT TONOPAh

Business men of Tonopah have
been compelled to take steps to or
ganize a system for taking care of
the thousands of visitors who are
fiocking to the Divide boom. declares
a correspondent of the Reno Gazette.
The movement contemplates listing
every available bed in the camp and.
If necessary. placing the sleeping ac-
commodations on a three-shift basis,
so that nc N will be turned away
without having a chance to remain
in the southern country long enough
to crafty the impulse that sent them
IN the trail of the great mining
boom.
The plan suggested is to have
every householder and the bachelor
tenants of cabins list their places
with a central bureau, which will
AXE car of new arrivals who can
not gain access to any of the regular
hotels or lodging houses. BY this
means 1T Is believed the sleeping ia
c~ilities of Tonopah may be increased
to take al of at least 5000 more
people without imposing undue strain
or family arrangements. Some &C
ton of this nature is demanded at
once, as the continued arrivals, cou-
pied with the few departures, demon
strate that the town is fast filling up.

MING CASE GETS ATTENTION
OF LAWYERS OF THE STATE
J. P. Crandel

With all the justices present. the
matter of the application for a writ
of habeas corpus in the case of Frank
Ming. charged with having liquor in
his possession, was mp before the SUI
preme Court Wednesday. and the
hearing attracted the presence of
lawyers from all over the State.
Ming. it will be remembered. was
arrested in Reno about six weeks ago
while having his trunks. which con-
tanned several bottles of liquor. re-
moved from one place TO another.
After complaint had been filed his
case was set for trial in the ii trict
court; whereupon his attorney. p. A.
McCarran, sued out a writ of habeas

should be tried in the court of first

plified during the last year by the i'm
portation into France Of an innumer-
able variety of pets ranging from
canary birds to donkeys, reached its
zenith on this side of the water-and
almost got him into trouble.
For several months French boys
were reported missing from their
homes and from public orphanages.
Investigation disclosed that most of
these boys. ranging in ages usually
from ten to fifteen, were the mascots
of units of American soldiers. They
were found, comfortably established
in American barracks, living with the
soldiers and receiving the considera-
ton and regalement which BELTS the
official mascot of a company of lies
A~mericanes." The practice started
when a few units annexed homeless
French boys who happened around
their camp. But the life was too at
tractive to be confined to the home
less, and other French youths, living
with their parents or provided for in
~orphanages. deserted these homes to
become American soldiers p~roteges.
At n aviation instruction center
ten boys were found. each supported
by an aviation squadron, which, by
way of tailor-made uniforms and
other means. was trying to Guido the
other In caring for their mascot. Most
of these boys were going TO school
but-they were smoking cigarettes,
and the kind of English they were
learning wasn't of the parlor variety.
General Pershing issued an order
prohibiting the adoption" of more
boys and requiring that all those be-
ing maintained as mascots be returned
to their homes.

SUPPLIES OF WAR
! EXCITE VILLA men

A press dispatch from Ell Paso,
Texas, says that mining men and
other citizens of the United States
operating in northern Mexico are
preparing a protest to the State De-
partment against further shipments
of arms. ammunition and horses via
FL Paso to Mexico for use of The
Mexican federal army.
The American mining and cattle
men declare the continued shipment
of war elements through FL Paso to
Juarez for the Mexican army will
tend to arouse anti-American feeling
among Villa followers. which has
been noticeably absent since General
Angeles joined Villa. They claim
quantities of ammunition. rifles and
horses shipped from the United
States. and plainly marked or brand
ed. will fall into the hands of the
Villa men and they will retaliate by
attacking American properties or by
Americans in the North. They
insist these shipments should be
made through Vera Cruz.

milton. 5000 rifles and 1000 horses went
