BANDIT SLAIN; EIGHT TAKEN
Chicago Police Surround Saloon at
Night and Capture Suspects
After Long Siege.

Chicago, April Eight men, sew
eral of them said to have long police
records, are under arrest at the stock
yards station following successful
siege early in the morning of George
Newton's saloon at 1859 South Halsted
street. The saloon was surrounded
for an hour by detachment of police,
who fired repeated volleys into the
building. No shots were fired In re-,
turn. After two or three failures to
sneak from the building two of the
beleaguered men opened side door
and surrendered. A few hours later
Cicero police, in revolver battle with
two men whom they found prowling
about the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad yards, killed one.
Search of the Newton saloon dis.
closed property worth between $500
and $1,000 which the police believe
to have been stolen.
Four colored bandits entered the
store Of the Mutual Produce company,
922 Fulton street, and obtained more
than $4,000 from the cash drawer.

DUE TO THEIR MILK blET
Why Yanks Are Noted for Their Phys
lcal and Moral Courage lie Ex-
planned by Dairyman.

American soldiers have displayed
such wonderful physical and moral
courage at the front because they are
from a dairy nation and are milkfed,
Is the conviction of M. d. Mum of st.
Paul, president of the National Dairy
council.
Speaking at the dairy show held In
Columbus, o., the other day, Mr.. Mum
said, "At one time the dairy show very
enormously compared the food value
of milk and meat as being equal. Milk
has just as much nutritive value as
other foods, but more than that, 1t con-
tains something other foods do not con
tain. A quart Of milk supplies the es-
sential elements of child growth which
40 other food contains"
He continued, saying last year this
country produced approximately 80 bill
lion pounds. equal to 45 billion quarts
of milk, and yet taking from this the
amount used in condensed milk, butter,
cheese and ice cream there is left only
about a glass of milk day for every
person in the United States Milk

How October Was Named.

October, during which the sun en-
ters ScorpiO, the eighth sign of the
zodiac, and which derives Its name
from the Latin word "octo,' meaning
"eight," was of course, once the eighth
month of the Roman year, which be-
gan with March. In our present, the
Julian calendar, October became the
tenth month, but the old name has al
ways stuck. 1t Is commonly said that
the selection Of deadly insect to rep
resent October was because the killing
frosts Of October are as fatal to sum
mer's flowers as the sting of the scor-
pion Is to living creatures.
But the true reason for the choos-
ing Of this sign is to be found In the
fanciful astronomy of olden days,
which saw the shape of the scorpion
In starry constellation, distinguish
ing that particular "house" or quarter
of the heavens through which the sun
passes In this lunar month.

MINNEAPOLIS BANK IS ROBBED
Six Bandits Take $4,5oo In Cash and
$4,000 In Bonds From Peoples
State

Minneapolis, April Six bandits
held up the Peoples State bank at
Seven Corners, a busy Minneapolis
business district, shortly before 10
O'Clock this forenoon and escaped
with $4,000 cash and $4,000 In Lib
erty bonds. Cashier A. E. Kolsted
was locked in the vault. AS the ban
dts ran from the bank to their au-
tomobile the handle of their satchel
broke and considerable cash fell on
the sidewalk. The men did not stop
to recover it. J. P. Ernster, president
of the bank, stepped from a street
car near the building just as the ban
dts were departing. He had 5000
which he had obtained from another
bank. Ernster suspected a robbery
and notified the police from a drug
store.
