e TANKS, MANNED,
TO Be IN PARADE
Spectacle Heightened by
Fact That Crews Got Bap-
tism of Fire in France.

Twenty-Five light tanks, with COM
plement of eleven officers and 100 en-
listed men. will roll along in the
great parade Wednesday, the War De-
partment announced last night. These
tanks and the company of men served
in France. and will be representative
of the Tank Corps in the parade Of the
1st Division here.
The officers in charge of this pic
turesque section Of the line of march
will be: First Brigade Headquarters
Col G. S. Patten. Maj. Serene e. Brett

son and Second Lieut.. L. c. Jaynes,
Capt. Floyd l. Parks First Lieuts
Rice w. White and r. J. Ashe and
Second Lieuts. Arthur Snyder, James
p. Nolan and Clyde Berger.
Something of the history of the
Tank Corps. of which these men and
tanks formed a part. may be gathered
from the fact that when Brig. Gen.
the corps August 20. 1918, the corps
did not have a battle tank. Plans for
the ST Mihiel offensive were based on
having $50 heavy tanks and 375 light
tanks to make paths through the
wire.
The heavy tanks could not be OBJ
tanned, but $50 light French tanks
were obtained for the LIST American
Brigade, and the French assigned one
of their tank brigades, containing 225
light tanks and "a medium sized tanks,
to the American list Army. The fight
opened at daybreak September -, the
American tanks operating with the LIST
Division leading the way.
Gen. Pershing, in letter to Brig.
Cen Rockenbach, commended the
successful and important part taken
by the officers and men of the Tank
Corps in the first offensive of the
list American Army.

WEATHER MAN
CONFESSES 1T
July This Year Really Was One OF
the Hottest Julys Ever Seen
Here, Exceeded Only
Twice Before.

July was really hot and dry month
at Keokuk.
Public opinion on this is reinforced
by the monthly report by Observer
Gosewisch, Of the weather bureau sta
ton here.
The mean temperature Of July, 1913,
was 81 degrees, which has been ex-
ceeded only twice in forty-eight years.
That was in 1901, when 1t was IS, and
the Keokuk high record In all Its his
tory was made, and in 1916, when the
mean for the month was "a. Inc
highest the thermometer got here ID
July was 100 plus on July 81. and the
lowest 1t got was 81, on July z.
The normal mean for the month OF
July here is II degrees. and since IL
was 81 this year, July 1919, was
an especially hot month. II the month
of July this year had been normal,
the thermometer would have been four
degrees lower every day, which would
have made quite difference.
The rain fall in July was not quite
two and a half inches, and the only
rains were two, one on July 8, and
the other on July 81, each giving over
an inch of rainfall The normal rain
fall for July here Is over four inches,
but q number Of Julys In the last half
century have been dryer than this one,
like 1885, when only two-thirds OF an
inch of rain fell in the whole month.
There was not an entirely cloudy
day in July this year. and only ten
days that were partly cloudy. There
we're nine thunderstorms registered
by the weatherbureau station at heo'
kuk. There was a trace Of rain on
five days, of fifth Of an inch or
less, in addition to the two real rains.

BERLIN LAUGHS
AT HER STRIKES
City Does Not Lose Temper and
! Never Thinks Of Idea of Using
Strike Breakers as
Remedy.
IBy United Press /

BERLIN. (By mail)-When it
comes to taking strikes Dhilosophi-
cally and good naturedly
wins easily. She has been under
going months Of strikes or various
kinds, and merely taking them as
"all in a lifetime" Particularly diff
cult for Berlin has been the trolley.
elevated and subway strike. But
Berlin didn't lose it's temper over 1t.
1t merely walked to work or caught a
ride on improvised carrya!is and
didn't curse the luck except mildly
AS for violence, there was none
except in a few isolated cases where
striking carmen were personally
abused.
Another strange part of the situa'
ton was the fact that though the
government could undoubtedly have
resorted to the American expedient
of strike breaking in order to oper
ate some cars, this was not even
attempted.
Berlin had to get to its work and
play as best it could, or else stay
home.
The result was that thousands of
early risers did many miles more
walking for several days than they
had ever previously undertaken Tor
q lengthy period. Huge drays were
fitted up with seats or benches and
rich and poor crowded in. good
naturedly, while the drayman reaped
a harvest beyond his fondest hopes.
Chairs or ladders were carried on all
these "busses" 80 that women pas
sengers could 60 aboard or alight
with ease.
The only thing that seemed to
worry Germany at all in the recent
strikes was the fact that the rail
road troubles threatened for time
to be sufficiently serious as to ham
per badly the transportation Of food
and coal This would have been de-
cidedly serious, for Berlin and, IN
fact, other German cities are liter
ally living from hand to mouth, both
as regards coal and food. A few
days complete tieup of the railways
would mean starvation.

SUPERB SUBURB
AT BRIGHTON
Mine Hundred Houses to Be Built
on Modern and Artistic
Lines In Orchard
Setting.
rBy United Press.]

LONDON-(By MaiD.-It is said
that the average English middle
class home is SO ugly it ought to be
burnt down, and Englishmen are just
beginning to realize this fact. with
the result that all over England plans
are afoot to build model villages and
model suburbs.
Brighton is the first to lead the
way. They are building super
suburb, consisting Of 900 houses, so
planned that there will not be more
than ten to the acre. This will allow
each house a garden of sixteen rods.
or $40 feet.
The suburb is to be built in an
orchard setting. Fruit trees will line
the roadways There will be no
walls, the gardens being divided by
hedges. There will be recreation
grounds, allotments and common
Fairgrounds. The houses are to be
built on modern and artistic lines,
the internal arrangements being the
last word in house comfort.
The only fly in the ointment is the
question Of the small boys. Will they
be model enough to inhabit a model
suburb, or will they help themselves
to the fruit that abounds in the pub
lie thoroughfares? 1t is hoped they
will become imbued with great re-
spect for communal rights and thus
grow up first-class democrats
