It is wise boy who, when seeking to

Which is easier to remember: "bawl-

cause you misspell an important word
in setting type. or the gentle warning of
the teacher who takes five points from

JAZZ MUSIC KEEPS
UP WHILE U. S. AGENTS

NEW YORK, September 49,
A liquor raid set to music is
Broadway's latest experience.
While the orchestra in. Days
restaurant Tuesday night was
playing it's jazzest selections and
cabaret artists were holding the
attention of diners eight agents
of the Department of Justice,
armed with warrants charging
violation of the wartime pro-
hibition act. stalked into the es-
tablishment and arrested a bar
; keeper and three walters.
Meanwhile musicians and sing
ers continued their efforts,
cheating the diners of the

raid-apparently with no hard
feelings on the part of Bernard
Daily, proprietor, who, the least
fiustered person present, entered
the bar where the secret service
men were sampling goods be-
hind the mahogany bar and
sang out cordially:
Help yourselves, boys!"

Sakaging the Rich Cargo Of
the Lost White Star
Liner Laurentic.
DIVERS HAZARDOUS TASK

PORTSALON. Ireland. August 25
Correspondence OF the Associated
Press) s35.O0o,O00 worth
Of gold ignots and bullion the White
Star liner Laurentic is reported to
have carried when she was SUNK
the night of January 25, 1917. off
Fanad light. one of the northerr,ost
headlands of Ireland at the entrance
of Lough Swilly. is being conducted
by the salvage ship Racer.
The princely cargo lay at a depth
of twenty-five fathoms. The gold and
bullion were contained in the strong
chamber amidships, rendered almost
fmpregnable by its thick steel walls
and heavily boited doors. At frs,
portions of the Laurentic's decks
were blasted away and passage was
made clear for the divers. On June
20 the retrieving of the treasure be-
gan.
First Haul Only Small Change.
The first bucket sent up contained
only copper pennies and few silver
coins. Then for several days. bucket
after bucket containing three or more
gold bars, each worth more than
$4,000, were hoisted to the surface
and dumped on the deck of the
Racer. The first of these bars
brought lusty. cheers from the crew
of the salvage ship. but tossing for
tunes about soon became to be mere
ly another form of manual labor to
these sailormen.
Most of the gold bars were nine
inches long, two inches thick and four
inches wide and weighed about twen-
ty-eight pounds. For days not one
was found, as many of them were
sas6r snssa cene Of the wreck by the the
strong chamber accessible. Several
feet of sand have now been washed
over these scattered bars and meath
masses of twisted steel, and it ,fre-
quently requires hours of patient la
Dor to pry them loose. The record
days haul so far had been forty-sev-
en- bars,-worth approximately $780,
600. Thus far several million dollars
worth of treasure has been salvaged.
Eight Divers Working Singly.
The Racer carries eight divers.
Their tricks" are so arranged that
one diver is at work throughout the
day. Each works half an hour and
then must spend thirty minutes in
coming to the surface, as otherwise
dous deep-water pressure might cause
partial OF complete paralysis. They
are brought up in ten-fathom 'hauls,''
with ten-minute rest" intervals
When the days work is over, the
days ''catch," if Considerable, is dis
patched to London with an armed con-
voy.
When first built the Racer was a
square-rigged man-o'-war-one of the
wooden walls of England" as the
ships of the British navy at that time
were known-a century ago.

What Our Air ServicesDid.

The Republican houses select committee
Of Is inquiring into how America won the war
has now been at work more than atmonth, and
has failed to convince the Americana public that
Germany did not surrender.
One phase of the conduct of the war, avia-
ton, is now being inquired into for the 18th
time. according to the statement Of witness
appearing before one of the subcommittee,
and thus far the inquiry has failed to bring
to public attention anything that wasn't al
ready matter of general information.
However, the inquiry has served to remind
the public of the following facts, among
others.
That if it had not been for the supplies, ma
terial and assistance furnished by America, the
allies would have had little or no air service
during the last several months of the and
Germany would have had complete mastery of
the air.
That the development of the Liberty motor
solved the airplane engine problem for all the
associated countries at The Liberty was
the only motor to attain quantity production
and saved very serious situation at a very
critical period Of the war.
That at the signing of the armistice there
was larger number Of American air pilots in
the military service than in the service Of any
of the allies.
That although military aviation was a
wholly new science in America, at the signing
Of the armistice the United States had produced
nearly twelve thousand airplanes and more
than thirty thousand motors. In addition, SOIL
planes, practically all of them fighting or pur-
suit and bombing planes, and 6,754 engines
were purchased from the allies, in return for
which raw material was furnished the allies
which alone made it possible for them to
equip their own armies with airplanes
That the air service wing of the army was
built up from practically nothing at the be-
ginning of the war until, at the signing of the
armfstice, its personnel numbered more than
one hundred thousand officers and men.
That quantity production of both airplanes
and engines had reached such development at
the armistice that it would have been possible
to equip the so fighting divisions General Per-
shing planned to have on the front by July,
1919, with the S58 air squadrons of 20 planes
each regarded as needed to maintain absolute
supremacy in the air.
That in the opinion OF high officers in the
army, aviation as well as commanders of bat
tie divisions Americas achievements in the
aviation during the war, when the obstacles
that had to be overcome are considered, were
nothing short OF marvellous.

ances Of this kind. and it is time that they were
removed forever. There are altogether too
many buildings not only in the residence sec
ton. but in the loop and contiguous districts,
which while probably yielding big returns to
their owners, are an eyesore in the community,
and if those who countenance them have not
sufficient pride in the city to remove them and
erect in their stead more modern structures,
the city should see to it that the old ones are
abolished
Rock Island has the go-ahead spirit The
rank and file Of the people are progressive.
and they want city that is progressive and
up to date and are willing to pay for it. Pub
lie improvements in Rock Island have not been
opposed by the man Of average means. 1t

their allotment who have raised objections and
retarded the march Of progress. The man Of
moderate income has voted for increased taxa

doing so he could help the general welfare
and yet there are those who so little care for
the city's appearance, as to maintain a public
disgrace for the sake OF the revenue.
1t is fortunate therefore, that, headed by
the most progressive mayor Rock Island has
ever had and wide awake associated commits

mapped out that will write the good radiance"

live in the same town that she
does. She has told ME that she
loved me, but she seems to doubt
herself When / am away she
writes me that she loves me, but
says that she won't ever kiss me
again But when I get with her
and talk to her a while she always
reIents and does what she said she
wouldn't
Recently, I went for an auto ride
with her. When we got back home
she told me she loved me, but didn't
believe in letting me kiss her be-
cause she was too young and be
sides she said that something might
turn up afterward that would
make her sorry she had kissed me.
When l told her goodbye that night
she kissed me regardless of what
she had said and told me TO please
come to see her again soon.
In two days after I left her / got
a letter from her that she was sorry
but the last night had showed her
that she did not really love me as
she should. She said that she had
found out that this was the reason
for her former feeling Of hesitation
about kissing me.
Now regardless of what she said
1 can't help but believe that she
does love me. Please give me your
advice on this subject.

she has will power. She realizes

She would not be in doubt about
her love for you if it were deep.
Doubtless she enjoys you as a

Buying and Selling.

It is strange to note how quickly a thing
drous in value once the government gets hold
of it. When purchasing war supplies, whether
lumber wool. metal or foods it was asked
and many times paid-the most exhorbitant
prices Many of these things were left on the
governments hands when the war ended and
though prices in all commodities have scared
steadily since the close of the war, nobody
seems willing to pay anything like what the
government paid for those supplies.
In Philadelphia the other day an auction
was to be held for the purpose OF disposing of
a large supply Of lumber by the government.
The auct:oneer described the property and
those present who had not already done so,
curiously examined the lumber.
Then there was a call for bids. One man
spoke up The auctioneer mildly protested at
the figure the man mentioned, but after finish
ing his plea another bid was made but little
higher. The auctioneer tried in every way pos
sfble to stir the audience, but with little sue
cess. Finally the government representative
got up. looked the assembly over coldly and
said gentlemen. It's no go. This sale is de-
clared off"
The highest bid that had been made for the
lumber was a little less than one-third of what
one OF the foremost Iumbermen Of the city
confessed was its actual value.
There seems little doubt that there was an
agreement between the men who attended the
auction as to the bids that were to be made
Quite a hullabaloo has been made over the
same sort of a combination which was re-

The TapeMorm Mrth.
NQTEp z

Ine TapeWOrm Myth.
There is a popular notion that a
poorly nourfshed (meaning a gaunt
or skinny individual who has a
prodfgious or tickle appetite, prob
ably harboFs in his midst a tape
worm. This myth is based upon
the fancy that tapeworm, being
much longer than a daschund or a
giraffe, requires proportionately
more nourishment Thus many a
cFedulous dupe plies himself with
alleged tapeworm medicine to no
purpose.
Another favorite myth of Sairey
Camp is that doctors don't believe
in worms" As well say that Peary
didn't believe in the North Pole, for
he carried no climbers. Doctors
know that, among 20 children or
adults who actually harber one or
another species of parasite in the
intestine, perhaps only two or
three will experience any appree-
liable effects whatever, and the rest
remain perfectly serene. Intelli-
gent mothers, not swayad by the
breeze Of every passing busybody,
know from observation that a child
in perfect health may pass one or
more ordinary round worm, and
that this occurrence calls for
neither anxiety nor medicine.
Notwithstanding the taiIboard
oratory OF the amazing charIatan.
whose advent and eclipse in town
are equally sudden and equally
annoying to different
classes of people-there are no
characteristic or even suggestive
symptoms produced by the pres
ence in the intestine of any kind OF
parasite. Therefore no one, not
even an honest, skillful physician,
can conclude from an individual
appearance, actions or symptoms
that the individual has worms. To
infer from a. child's symptoms that
the child has worms is merely
foolish; to ply the child with al
legged worm medicine on any such
inference is nothing short OF cruel.
An ignorant parent inflicts many
cruelties on a child in a lifetime.

My daughter, aged four, is appar-
emily healthy She has had three
Illnesses in her life, and each time
in the course of general examina-
ton, the physician has told me that
her tonsils were about the largest
he had ever seen in a child. She
has never been subject to sore
throat, and the tonsils have in no
way troubled her. A dentist told
me that it is never advisable to re-
move the tensiIs until after the age
OF puberty, unless absolutely nee
essary. May I ask If the tonsils
have a definite function to perform
at this period? CT. B. RI
Answer-Merely large tonsiIs
are physiological in childhood. It
is not advisable to remove tonsils
unless absolutely necessary in any
case, irrespective of age. The ton
sils have no relation to puberty.
