SHEEP-BONE ONLY TOY
OF SMALL ORIENTALS

Without the bone of a sheep, ''that
eternal, ubiquitous playtoy of all the
East" the children of Asia would be
absolutely without an amusement de-
vice. That is the solemn conclusion
of Achmed AbdulIah in "a Little
Brown Girl Child" in the May number
of the Red Ross magazine. Otherwise
your small Oriental is not noticeably
different fro mour own youngsters in
his or her main business of life-play
He finds zest in playing Cowboy and
Indian" even though the punchers
wear such names as Mohammed or
Moustaffa, and the cow-girls and
squaws are the desert-bred hoydens,
Aziza and Ayesha, who with indigo
tattoo marks on forehead and nostrils
take CORY and decidedly unladylike
part in the proceedings, particularly
the scalping process, performed with
the bone of a sheep.
What would Oriental childhood do
without a knuckle-bone from that
modest ruminant quadruped?" de-
mands the writer. GO wherever chill
dren play -Osmanlis or Kurds, Ar
menians or Arabs, Druses or Greeks
and you will see that the sheep bone
represents everything from doll to a
sword, from a Pascha's horsetail-orna-
mentel shelitree to a British gun
boat, from mosque to a church."

THE BOY SCOUTS

What to do with a boy? Mankind
has no older problem, and no other
by and large that so often looks pro-
foundry battling to the worried indi-
viduals who try to solve it-with all
due respect for young persons, of the
other sex, for chilren of a gentler
sex must on the whole be more tract
able.
One thing to do with boy is to
put hi min the Boy Scouts.
That organization celebrated its
ninth anniversary the other day. Not
many young institutions have given
so convincing an account of them
selves. In connection with the an
niversary it makes a compelling APP
peaF to the public.
1t wants particularly more volun-
teer men leaders--especially men
who have had military experience
abroad. That want should be prompt
ly, OBVIOUSLY, gladly met. There
could hardly again be conjuncture
so favorable for impressing upon the
very tissus of boys consciousness a
vital page in American history, and
in the history of democracy and of
the world. In the Scouts martial
atmosphere of drill, uniform, march
and camp the leadership and COM
partnership of men of the right sort
from the battlefelds of Europe
would fail upon the boys minds like
a seal on warm wax.
Every normal boy has right to
march, range and camp. 1t satisfies
a deep, old instinct in him. The
great business of education is to build
upon the boys instincts and the girls.
The Boy Scouts is one of the sound
est educational undertakings. Dem
ocracy's great war has given it an
unusual opportunity which everybody
should gladly help it to realize.

Evening Post.)

FINDS MOTHER HEART
IN AMERICAN FIGHTERS

How the American doughboy, large
hearted, cherry and clean, became the
Big Brother and "buddy" Of children
wherever the war carried him, is a
glorious and now well-known chapter
of Americas part in the conflict. But
he went further and developed what

the May number of the Red Cross
Magazine, Lieut. Dawson, who served
with both the Canadian and the Amer

at sounds absurd, l know, but it
seems to me that up front we fighting

FOR INDIGESTION
TAKE LAXCARIN
NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL.

Nearly everybody suffers at times
after eating. Especially after feast
of some sort when large number
of different courses are served, aho
where everybody wishes to show OH
bv eating more than his or her share.
ONE people call this suffering plain
case of Indigestion, some call 1t dys-
pepsia, others call it gastritis; but no
matter what they call it, no matter
how many remedies you have tired
instant and almost invariable rellet
NAV be obtained by taking Lax
carin tablet three times per day, or
if the case is not an acute one, just
one or two tablets per day Laxcarln
instantly neutralizes the stomach
acids and stops food fermentation,
the cause of nine-tenths of stomach
trouble, and thus enables the stom-
ach to proceed with digestion IN
painless normal manner. Care should
be taken that you get the genuine
Laxcarin, and therefore it is best to
write direct to the distributors, as
owing to the Laxcarin's marvellous
properties many people substitute it.
Laxcarin is also good for bad
breath, coated tongue, biliousness,
sour stomach, sick headaches, bloat-
ing, belching, gas, constipation or
other results of Indigestion and no
remedy is higher recommended. Lax
carin does not grippe nor nauseate.
Does it's work gently, cleanses the
bowels, sweetens the stomach and
benefits the liver. In other words 1t
makes a new man out of you. Never
disappoints.

ton Boulevard, E. Pittsburgh, Pa: 81

AN INVENTION OF
A GEORGIA MAN

The sawed-off shot gun or riot gun
as it has been called was designed and
presented to the war department by a
Valdosta, Georgia, man, and was in
troduced into the service in large num-
bers.
We quote Tennessee captain, as
to the work this gun did in the trench
es to stop the German advance.
con June 6, tho we were engineers,
we got orders to go into the fighting
in support of the marines in Belleau
Woods as combat troops. We liked
twenty-seven miles in nine hours with
out stopping to eat. We got into the
scrap between two regiments of ma
rines and fought against overwhelm-
ing odds, our opponents being the
Prussian Guards.
''The 246 men in our company had
been reduced to seventy-two and am
munition was nearly exhausted when
orders came to fall back to the first
line of trenches near by. When we
rolled into these we fought with those
automatic Shotguns stacked up in
punches of eight, with extra ones ly-
ing on the first parapet in the rear
wall of the trenches and plenty Of
shells handy. Each gun had shell
in the chamber and five in the maya
zine. Each shell was loaded with
twelve big buckshot and twenty-eight
grains of balIistite powder. 1t nearly
kicked US down every time we fired,
but we didn't mind that when we saw
the execution done to the Germans.
"The way those squirrel-hunting
Americans used the weapons was
thoroughly effective. Our colonel had
ordered that no one should fire until
he gave the command, and it looked to
me that he waited until they were al?
most on top of US. But when the
word came those guns opened up in
earnest The Germans were advanc
ing very confidently, for they knew
we were in desperate straits. That
shotgun volley was new to them. They
were advancing we'll punched, and
every time a gun fired three or four
Germans would go down.
"The more the surprize gript them,
the closer they would huddle, and the
deadlier was the fire. Wehn they could
stand it no longer they began to fall
back, punched in closed than ever,
with corresponding destruction from
the guns.
mot German reached our lines
after we began using those shotguns,
and I'll tell the world that on June 6
the Kaiser had won himself war had
he only prest the advantage and had
it not been for those shotguns."

SIX CENT CARFARE.

Atlanta, Ga, April 17.-Atlanta is
rapidly adapting itself to the vicissi-
tues of the 6 cent street car fare,
which went into effect last Monday.
Most of the people are using books
of tickets, which sell at the rate of
II tickets for 81, but many others
are making it hard for the conductors
by compelling them to change silver
and bills. To meet this contingency,
the conductors are all carrying pock-
cts full of pennies. The 6 cent fare
is in effect on every line except Col
lege Park and Decatur, where the 3
cent fare still prevails.

over the loft until I found baling wire. Then I shaped hook on the end of it and rolled fine spotter around it. Then I poked it down the hay chute, and waited for a bite, Presently something grabbed my hook like shark. I sat steady in the boat and let him get good hold Then gently raised my fish to. where I could see him. He was beaut, about a five pounder. Then 1 got ex- cited and reached out too far to grab him, which caused me to lose my balance, and down I went to the bot tom of the fishing hole.
 The first intimation had of ap- preaching the bottom of the chute was the tinlsling of COW bell, then of sudden there was great up- heaval and l came up astride of big spotted COW. She raised her tail high in the air, and without any prelimin- aries went out through the barn door, without even waiting for it to be opened. I held on to her back like l had season ticket. She made sev- eral rounds of the barn lot before she got her bearings. Then over the fence she went and struck for the tall timber.
 We climbed fences and trees for a couple of hours, and as my ears scraped the brnaches of the tall trees, 1 could hear ringing sound like the hum of circular saw when it leaves seasoned oak plank.
 It seemed that old Spot had an in tense longing to go higher all the time. While we were up above the tree tops, visions of lonely grave in the cemetery over which daisies grew fitted before my mind. Then I thought of how would look in box banked with flowers used in such cases. l also found the atmosphere chilly, which gave me cold feet. So when we came down close to earth, I selected soft landing place and when the opportune moment arrived, and old Spot parted company without any protest.
 The doctor has plastered up what few features I have left and thinks probably I may be at home to my friends in week or so.

and the ways of Uncle Sam. He told us for small contribution, he would lead us out of the wilderness, and show us the promised land.
 We told him to crank up and start. We followed that old goat until the moon went down. He led us through creeks, briar patches, and over fences. We stayed with him until our hoofs were cracked. Finally he took us to "a hay barn, where we were held up and relieved of what information we had concerning ourselves. Then we were told that we must remove our shoes before we could enter the sacred confines of the loft.
 We told the proprietor that our shoes were already off; that we didn't have enough shoes on our feet to convict profiteer. All that we had left of a twelve dollar cut, was pair of strings dangling around our ankles.
 Then we were told to proceed with caution up ladder that led to the hay loft.
 When we entered the loft delicate odor of horse met our nostrils, and permeated the scene and wrapped it. self around us. Then from the light of smoky lantern that swung from the rafters we saw scattered over the loft, lawn mowers, ex-baby carriages, defunct bottles of every description, and the remains of late lamented bed springs.
 While we were pondering over the scene, we heard some one knock for admittance. Then we saw an old gobbler enter with fishing pole and line. He looked over the premises for fe. wseconds; then he pulled from his trousers pocket a roll of bait, and wadded it on his hook Then he eau tiously slipped to the hay chute and dropped it down. Presently he pulled up package that looked 'fishey," and stuck it carefully away in his coat pocket and departed as silently as he came. Several others came and caught their pockets full of fish, and there I sat, without hook or line, and fish biting to beat the band.
 l knew it would never do to go home without fish so raked around

JOHN TWEEZER AND
 "OLD SPOT'' HAVE A TIME
By John Tweezer

Philosophers, physicians and theol- ogians have tried to explain why cer- tain persons are criminals and others not. Some claim that criminals were the product of their environment, he was a victim of society. Still others contend criminality as product of disease.
 Now if these eminent doodads had ever had full-grown case of thirst they could have arrived at verdict without leaving the jury box.
 A man may be of so saintly or so public spirited disposition that in fact he never transgresses, but this shows only that the peculiar temptation to which he is most liable has not as sailed him with sufficient force to make him jar loose.
 Every man has his breaking strain and will give way under stress if the stress is sufficiently powerful and of the right kind. A most powerful and alluring temptation got hold of us last week and dragged up about in search of something to quiet our thirst.
 We have no control over our thirst as it is of age, so we were dragged about over the vicinity until we found an old battered goat who had the ear marks of a criminalfi when we ap- preached him he ducked for a thicket But we smoked him out, and when we cornered him with the distress sign he grinned like person convicted oi felony.

NORTHERN CHINA PUT
under JAP CONTROL,
DELEGATION CLAIMS
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Friday, May 2.-In declar-
ing its disappointment with the deci-
sion of the council of three regarding
Kiao Chau, the Chinese delegation to
the peace conference in it's statement
today said that the decision gives
japan practical control of northern
China.
The statement Of the delegation dis
closes that early in 1917 Great Britain
and France agreed to the support of
Japanese claims to German rights in
Shantung at the peace conference. 1t
says that China knew nothing Of the
agreement and was not told of them
even when she Joined in the war IN
August, 1917. It is declared that tho
Chinese declaration of war abrogated
all treaties and agreements with Ger
many and that German rights auto
matically reverted to China.
The Chinese delegation asserts that
the reported action of the council of
three in transferring the German
rights to japan is not in keeping with
the principles of peace laid down by
the allied and associated powers. The
statement declares that it is init
mated that the decision of the council
of three granting Japan's claim was
for the purpose of saving the league
of nations. 1t is further declared that
Japans claims were based in part on
the treaty and notes made in 1915 with
Japan. The Chinese delegation says
the documents of 1915 were signed by
China under the threat of war. The
statement also draws a parallel be.
tween the Shantung and Fiume ques
tions.
