ENJOYING TRIP
Have Interesting Visit at DeKaIb
Normal and See Business Houses
Of Windy City.

Two letters were received today
by The Argus from the United
Sunday Schools band which is
hiking through northern Illinois
and in the vicinity Of Chicago. Both
communications, which are dated
from Chicago. follow:
Dear Argus: The United Sunday
schools band Of Rock Island left
Monday morning, Aug. Is, on their
annual big hike, which will take
them to Wisconsin this year. Mrs.
Hauberg, Miss Kline and 81 boys
had the pleasure of making the
trip. We started at o'clock for
Dixon, where the autos had to take
on gas The trip was made with a
small touring car and big truck,
and the f1iYer being the faster OF
the two got there at 20 minutes
after 8. While we were waiting for
the others we met Mr.. Derkender-
en-, formerly Of the z. NJ G. A, tax
ing his boys on a hike to Pine For
est, where our crowd stopped two
years ago.
Sec De KaIb Relics.
From there we went TO DeKaIb
and Mr.. Hauberg took US to the
state normal school, where we
were shown the old relics which
Prof. Page, a member of the Hi
nois State Historical society uses
in his classes to make the study
OF history more interesting to the
students.
while we were in DeKalb we
met H. W. Faye, who is the proud
owner of 100000 pictures Of Lin
coin. Mr.. Faye Is the only man in
the middle west who can make ar
row heads like the Indians used to
use.
I'VE left DeKalb at $3.50 and
started on our last stretch to Chi
cago. All the way there the roads
were in the best of condition and
the boys were in the best of spirits.
When they got to Chicago they
said, is this the little burg we
have heard so much about? Today
we are all enjoying ourselves.
More later.

Yours truly,
Stopped Too Long.

Dear Editor: We had planned to
get to Chicago as early in the even
ing as possible by making short
our stopovers in the towns we
passed through. However, Mr.. Hau-
berg had arranged for us to visit
the state normal school, where we
got a glimpse of a museum OF old
relics and furniture and tools,
handed down from colonial days.
Prof. Murray of the De Kalb nor
NAL, kindly showed US around the
museum, where we saw parts OF
the very first attempts 1t modern
farm implements.
1--WE also saw one of the first
Edison talking machines, a model
of 1878, which played tin foil rec
ords and was turned by hand.
Weapons of early days as well as
old colonial utensils were interest
ing in being all hand made and
durable. The museum contained
quite a collection of weapons from
the Philippines, South Sea and
other islanders, including stone
hatchets, spears and boomerangs.
Visit Chicago Businesses.
Tomorrow our itinerary takes
us to South Water street to see the
commission houses at their busy
hour, the stock yards, Jackson and
Lincoln parks and the municipal
pier.

War Camouflage for Ships
To Serve a Peace Purpose

Ship camoufage, an art hurriedly
developed during the great war, may
be retained permanently as a means
OF reducing the dangers of collisions
between vessels In war the camou-
feurs sought a design that would puz-
zle German submarine commanders,
but now they must seek the opposite
extreme, a uniform design which will
emphasize and accentuate the true
course of the ship
An announcement by the Navy De-
partment says the navy experts are
working in this direction, and that
British naval experts also are inter
ested in the endeavor.
"Camoufleurs of both navies,' says
the announcement, "are agreed that
just as it was possible to elude the
German U-boats by means of design
that gave deceptive impression of
the true course which a vessel was
steering, so it is possible to minimize
the danger of vessels coming together
on days of poor visibility.".Washing-

Three Alleged Reds Caught
Men Held in Bomb Inquiry;
Sought Senator Eyre

PHILADELPHIA, May 2-Three Hun
garians were arrested on suspicion to-
day near the estate of State Senator 7.
Larry Eyre, in West Chester, one OF
those selected as victims by the dyna-
miters who sought to send their bombs
by mail. The prisoners said they were
Olah Mehoz, George Metele and Michael
Macy, and that some one had sent them
from Coatesville to find out just where
Senator Eyre lived.
Agents of the Department of Justice
went to West Chester as soon as the
arrests were reported The local police
have been unable to discover parcels
which the men are said to have been
carrying when first seen. and cant find
out whether they contained bombs or
lunch. A negro woman called the at
tention of the police to the three
strangers. She understood one of them
to say in inquiring where Senator Eyre
lived: "You know-the fellow whose
house is to be blown up"
