tenant in the navy, and now is wear
ing civilian clothes again. is to appear
soon before a naval court at the
Brooklyn navy yard to prosecute q
charge Of robbery against a young

that on the trip across he found Lieu
tenant Astor's wallet and returned IL
to him after he had examined the con-
tents, which revealed almost $1,000.

later he again found the wallet, and
was so tempted he extracted $50 and
hid the balance Of the money in his
clothing bag.

bag to obtain the remainder and
found that some one had rifed the
fleets and taken the money.

science stricken and told the story to
the executive officer Of the boat.

the wallet, with some personal papers
but without the money, was later
found in the aft part Of the boat

far as national strength IS con-
cerned, amounted to nothing.
And the problem with this, as
with other nations, is GLOW can
the United States avoid owning
all the gold, all the real money
in the world, thus making the
other nations all bankrupt"
The other nations owe us nine
billions, and if we chose to take
our pay in gold, there would not
be enough coin in the world to
settle the debt. Gold is flowing in,
the worlds biggest supply is here.
And what effect does that have on
you; does it make you more pros
porous and happy? If one man
owned all the gold, as many would
like to do, that man would be
prosperous. But with nations it
is different. Our great supply OF
gold makes money cheap, and
money being cheap makes living
dear. So that because you live IN
the richest country, with other
nations owing you money, and be-
cause your nation owns the gold
and could have it all, you find it
hard to pay your living expenses.
The housewife living in London
can buy flour ground in America,
from American wheat, for great
deal less than you pay. Finance
is a puzzling problem.
A bank president in Michigan,
Michael J. Bowling, has two ar
tificial legs and one artificial arm,
result of freezing in blizzard.
Quentin Corley lost both arms
in a railroad accident.
He washes, shaves, and dresses
with steel hook fastened to the
stump of his left arm.
These men are going to England
for the Red Cross to show Grip
pied soldiers that a man does not
have to be complete in arms and
legs to be successful. Bowling
and Corley are we'll to do, pros
porous, cheerful. Except for the
shock to the nervous system
caused by severing the backbone
and for lack of a digestive ap-
paratus to supply blood, you
could cut a mans head off just
above the shoulders and if he had
the right kind of brain he would
make a living and enjoy life.
DR.. Brown-Sequard showed that
it is possible to cut the head off
without destroying thought He
made the experiment in public on
a dog, severing the spinal column
carefully to avoid shock. When he
went to one side and whistled the
dog turned it's eyes in that direc-
ton. This he did to the horror nf

T ET'S suppose you have room for
rent There are several ways in
- which you can let people know about
it.
The Washington times., 1919-07-06

First, you can tell al of your friends.
And you can ask them to tell all of their
friends. Maybe, if the telling keeps up long
enough, somebody will eventually be found
who will come ard take alook at that
room.
Or you can put little cardboard signs in
your downstairs windows, reading: Room
For Rent" Hundreds of people pass your
house every day. Possibly one out Of every
hundred will see the signs, and one of
every thousand will be looking for a room.
Both of these ways are inexpensive.
They're all right, too-that is, if you don't
care whether you rent that room next week,
or Christmas after next Christmas.
But most people who have rooms for
rent want to rent them as quickly as pos
sible How can you reach the people who
are looking for rooms? Listen, and I'll
