HAD REGULAR SINGING TIME
Thoreau's Interesting Aecouneof the
Chanting Of Vespers by Whip
poorwIII Chorus

What pleasure it would be to know
the woods and the wood folk as Tho
reau did. In "Walden," he tells US
that regularly at half-past seven, in
one part Of the summer, after the eve
ming train had gone by, the whippoor-
wills chanted their vespers for half an
hour, sitting on stump by my door,
or upon the ridgepole of the house.
They would begin to sing almost with
as much precision as clock, within
five minutes Of particular time, re-
ferred to the setting Of the sun, every
evening. had rare opportunity to
become acquainted with their habits.
Sometimes I heard four or five at once
in different parts of the wood, by acci-
dent one q bar behind another, and
so near me that I distinguished not
only the cluck after each note, but
often that singular buzzing sound like
fly In a spiders web, only proportion
ally louder. Sometimes one would cir
Gle round and round in the woods n
few feet distant as II tethered by a
string. when probably I was near It's
eggs. They sang at intervals through
out the night, and were again as musi-
cal as ever just before and about
dawn"

ASIA GREAT DANGER POINT
Is Today, and Has Been for All Time,
the Home of Plague and
Pestilence.

Asia is the home Of plague and
many other pests The facilities fol
travel have brought Asia and our Pa.
cific coast together, while the posses
sion of the Philippines has multiplied
the occasions for intercourse with the
Tar east. Thus, says the Journal OF
the American Medical Association, the
and health of the American popula-
ton, and the situation has been ag-
gravated by the conditions of war.
With the unvarying persistence of bu.
bonic plague in Asia, it seems timely
to lay further stress on these points.
The obstacles in the way of success
fully graphing with the plague prob
lem in Asia are almost insurmount.
able The natives object to whole
sale incubation and rat destruction;
hence the only effective mode of pro-
cedure Is most difficult to carry out
Religious scruples against the slaugh'
ter of animals, even yermin, are prev.
alent throughout India. Consequently
It may be taken for granted that
plague will continue to persist in
Asia, and as it is extremely rife
in the two great ports of that con-
tlnent, Hong Kong and Bombay, II is
not an impossibllity that 1t will be con
yeyed thence to American ports on the
Pacific coast. While there is no doubt
that our health authorities are awake
to the danger, it is well to know
that the danger exists In Asia.

Flu Again Ravaoe. London.

Influenza has broken out again In
London, making a third wave In less
than year. The cases that are COM
plicated by pneumonia tend to follow
the usual course common In the years
before the war. This is in contrast
with the rapidly fatal type character
izing the summer and autumn epidem-
les, and suggests distinct decrease In
virulence. OF those attacked previous
ly very few have been again infected
Some immunity seems to have been
established, for In most cases Of rein
fectlon there are only vague rheumatic
pains and malaise lasting few days.

VI Note these two important facts about
these Spring and Summer Suits of ours
by careful buying of the fabrics and
materials, and by conscientious manage
ment we kept down their costs to us and
their prices to you. On many an occa-
sion throughout the season our Gus
toners told us spontaneously, volun-
tarily, that in their looking around thew
had found no such values of cloth and
workmanship as they found here at our
prices. Secondly, we know no other
clothes so we'll made. We know of none
others in which the lines are so well
drawn, SO we'll proportioned-of none
others that fit so snugly and yet so COM

POSTAGE STAMP 70 YRS. OLD
First Adhesive Mall Label Made Its
Appearance In 194o

The first adhesive postage stamp
made its appearance in Great Britain
seventy nine years ago. 1t was known
as the lone penny black of 1S40."
Many thousands of stamps have ap-
peared since then but it would be hard
to find finer philatelic specimen than
the stamp which marked the beginning
of stamp history. Few people thought
of saving stamps at that time, and
would have scoffed at the idea that the
innovation would bring with it stamp
collectors.
The Mulready cover, or envelope, is
also British invention, and is really
the connecting link between the old
postal service and the postage stamps. 1t
was designed by w. Mulready, ]. A,
and made its appearance in 1910. These
covers were in two classes, the one
penny blacks prepaid postage on a single
sheet of writing paper, while the two
penny blues carried double, or under
half an ounce.
Only three British sovereigns' por-
traits have been pictured on the stamps
issued by Britain. The late Queen Vic
toria's portrait appeared or the first
stamp, the late King Edward Wis ap-
peared during his reign, and today that
of King George V is used.-Detroit

SHIPS NEED RADIO MEN
Sea Service Bureau Calls for Wire
less operators-Saiarie Up

The government paid radio operators
$40 month before the war; today the
salaries are $125 q month for the same
work
And there are lots Of these jobs open
now, according to William G. Rice,
chief of the Sea Service Bureau branch
in this city. The government. declares
Mr.. Rice, is unwilling to have its new
cargo fleets go to sea without radio
operators aboard as a measure of safety.
Hence the high salaries. for the supply
of these workers is far below the de-
mand.
Licensed radio operators are wanted
at once at this port, declared Mr.. Rice
as we'll as other Atlantic ports.
Experienced radio operators. who
hold licenses. are asked to apply at
the headquarters of the Sea Service
Bureau at 81 South Fourth street,
this city.
