Circus Performer Acting a. Instruc-
tor Makes Tricks Look Simple.
Many a marine rookie has stripped
his gears trying to do "setting up ex-
ercises under an instructor who was
formerly a professional contortionist.
Sergeant Joe Nader. who Is instruc-
tor and motor vehicle expert Of the
Third company Of the signal battalion
OF marines at Philadelphia. was out
on the parade grounds recently giving
a raw class a few tips on how to ride
q motorcycle. For n while he content
ed himself with riding across the area
with bis machine listing Mt an angle
of 90 degrees. Then he raised the
front wheel of the ground and rode
that way. Turning his machine with
an a%cuteness that skidded him all the
way around he started ON the return
trip. As he approached the awe
stricken class he stood up on the seat
OF the motorcycle and. waving his
arms In the %semaphore code, signaled.
That's all there Is to It."
But later they found out that he
used to ride around the walls OF q
tank In n circus sideshow.

THREE BROTHERS LOSE ARMS


Misfortune of a peculiar kind has
followed the Kemp family, pioneers
Of the Imperial valley In Oregon and
well known through the connection OF
the men with Its development. Three
Of the Kemp brothers have each lost
an arm within a year. the last to
meet the misfortune being a soldier
In the trenches In France during the
last days of the fighting.
Just a year & Harold Kemp's
hand was caught In the "auger" of a
cotton gin. into which his right arm
was drawn and mangled so badly that
amputatlon was necessary. Two
months later Harley Kemp, a younger
brother. lost his left arm In the same
gin and In much the same manner.
Recently the news came from France
that a piece of shell had struck II. o.
Kemp and carried away his right arm.
The last victim was married, his wife
residing In Yuma, Ariz.

TRAMP is SAMARITAN
Nurses Two Lonely Families Stricken
With Influenza.

With Influenza.
John Kennedy and Thomas Camp
bell, two farmers living In a lonely
section Of Foster township between
Hazelton and White Haven, Pa, re-
ported to the authorities recently that
they and their families undoubtedly
had been saved from death through
influenza by the timely appearance OF
an unknown tramp at their homes.
when every member of both families
was down with the plague.
The tramp "blew in" after al.ghting
from a Jersey Central freight train
and called at the Campbell place for
something to eat, only TO discover the
entire household critically Ill In bed.
Going to the text house. he found sim
liar conditions. aud then decided to act

eleven of the patients back to health.
looked after the fires. did the cooking
and attended TO the stock until Camp
bell and Kennedy were able to look
after the work themselves.
The tramp made frequent trips to
Hazleton and White Haven to buy
food and medicine. and always re-
turned with the change, except small
amounts that he retained to quench
his thirst on the way. This allow
ance was willingly granted.

THRIFTY YANkS STEAL
MARCH ON GOVERNMENT
Find That Fresh Water and Soap
Save Army's Sunken
Cargo.

Fishing shirts, vests, soldiers jer-
kins, leggings, comfort bags and 9TH
er clothing from the oceans bottom
has been the latest kind of work for
the fisher folk at Vineyard Haven.
Mass. But the government has stepped
In and spoiled all the fun and all the
profit as well.
When the steamship Port Hunter,
carrying 100000 worth of clothing
to Uncle Sans soldiers overseas, was
wrecked off the Cape 1t was found that
salvaged clothing rotted two days af.
ter 1t had been taken from the salt
sea. But the thrifty and ingenious
Yankees here found that by washing
the clothing In fresh water as soon a.
It was brought ashore 1t was as good
as new.
SO the fishermen forgot their travis
and lines and each day a small fleet
put to sea equipped with graphing
hooks On the ends Of long poles. At
night the fleet would sail home laden
with all sorts Of clothing. On the
beach, with washtubs filed with fresh
water and soap were the thrifty house,
wives. Next morning almost every
sort of a piece of clothing found on
a soldier or in his kit was Tapping
from the clothesline.
Everything was going fine with the
fisher people until a few days ago
when the government at Washington,
which had previously given up the
work of salvage. suddenly came to
the realization that washing with fresh
water prevented the clothing from rot
ting. The war department promptly
issued an order TO the headquarters of
the department Of the northeast In
Boston instructlng an immediate in
vestigation of the Port Hunter and the
possibility and advisability of making
an attempt to- salvage the cargo. Mean
while, the army officers were ordered
to stop petty differing" of the ships
cargo.

WORRIES OVER NO "KICKS"
Business Seems to Be Slack With St
Louis Complaint Board.


Louis Complaint Board.
The city Of ST. Louis is expending
$500 a year to maintain a complaint
board, whose business Is to take care
Of all complaints ST. Loulsans wish to
make. But the board has begun to
worry. There have been no COM
plants, nobody even kicking about
the amount of money spent to keep
the board.
The complaint board has issued .
system Of complaint postcard books
with blank forms on which kicks will
be made. and these have been dis
tributed throughout the city In an
effort to stimulate the kickers. All
civic organizations who formerly did
so much kicking will receive these
postcard books. and the complaint
board Is hoping that the public gets
busy and comes along with some
kicks.

Mr.. Samuel Doughboy has become
. much married man since he set out
to make the world safe for dcmoc-
racy, and the United States consular
authorities throughout the British
Isles are having no end Of trouble try
Ing to s~traighten out his marital din
culties.
OF approximately q million men,
bers of the Doughboy family who
passed through England on their way
to glory and everlasting fame In the
fighting line, several thousand (the ex-
act number Is not yet known) took
pretty English, Irish and Scotch girls
unto themselves as wives.
Simply Could Not Resist.
1t appears Mr.. Doughboy has more
than during his s%ojourn In France,
hence there have been more marriages
to British girls thar to French girls.
Not that our soldiers and sailors care
less for the dark-eyed beauties of the
romantic country they have played
such a prominent part in saving from
German oppression, but here in Eng
land and Ireland and Scotland they
just naturally couldn't help themselves.
The girls smiled at them with lovelit
eyes and spoke so softly and sweetly
In their w language that they really
couldn't resist the temptation.
Everything was fine until Mr..
Doughboy went away from here to add
his persuasive powers to those of MI.
Tommy Atkins and Frenchy In throw.
ing Fritz out Of France and Belgium.
Uncle Sam. as we all know, was a bit
slow with his postal service at the
front, and Mrs. Doughboy In England.
Ireland and Scotland became very
much worried. They asked the con.
sular authorities about Mr.. Doughboy's
whereabouts, and that's just where the
trouble started.
authorities are more or less respon-
sible. thought he had some claim on
Mr.. Doughboy, since he had fitted him
out with a brand new uniform. kit.
etc; paid his expenses over here, and
even gave him spending money. But
Mrs. Doughboy protested that she had
first claim, and so the authorities have
been as busy as a marrying parson
OF Hoboken, N. j.. adjusting matters In
a manner that would not interfere
with Uncle Sans business In Europe
and at the same time would relieve
the anxiety Of the many young women
who have hopes Of residing in the near
future in America.
Most Serious In Scotland.
Scotland. however, has produced
the most serious problem to solve.
Hundreds of wee lassies there say
they took Mr.. Doughboy at his word.
Apparently that's all that's neces-
sary In Scotland. according to law.
While the Scotch girls do not
doubt the sincerity of Mr.. Doughboy.
the fact that their mail has been SO
irregular since he left, also that the
armistice has been signed and soon
he'll be returning to America. has
caused them to inquire just where they
stand. And the American consular
representatives are burning the mid
night oil. blocking the telegraph and
cable lines. exceeding the typewriter
speed limit and nursing aching heads
to find out all about Ii for all con-

"BIG TEN" In ACTION

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Two football
teams of the western conference, Chi
cago and Northwestern, were to make
their 1919 debut today. which also
was to mark the first clash of two
big ten" elevens. The contest be-
tween Illinois and Purdue held chief
interest because it probably will
eliminate one of them from the race
for the championship honors. Purdue
has had only a week to recover from
injuries received in the game with
Franklin.
Unusual interest is displayed, how
ever, in the Chicag o-Great Lakes ma

Northwestern-DePau contest. Chi
cago is represented by an eleven of
unknown possibilities. while North
