Councillors Of ReykJavlk, Iceland. Ap-
ply System That Reduces the
Taxation Of the Citixena

The city council of Reyk1avik, Ice
land, has now begun the baking OF
bread In a special bakery In connec-
ton with the gas works, where mod
ern machinery has been Installed in
a special building. The result was ex-
cellent, in that the waste heat from
the gas works is being used in prac-
ticable and profitable manner. and In
the course of short time all the
black bread which may be needed
will be baked In the new bread fac
tory.
The idea was that of young stu
dent there, and 1t Is considered one of
the best means Of saving coal time
and money. Three-pound loaves have
been completely baked In three hours
In considerable numbers.

COLONEL TOOK

Do you know what Colonel Sanborn
did at Chipilly ridge In August, when
our outfit was SO badly shot up? We
were up there with nothing to eat or
drink for couple Of days until Col

tons to us on his back under the most

He did that because he wanted to

Keane had charge of directing the

party of them went into No Mans

Keane went out to find them. He
found them dead, lying across the
stretchers with the wounded men. They
had been killed in their work of mercy
by the Germans. At that moment a
party of Germans made a sortie to
capture Keane, but it ended in his kill

to surrender and to carry the wounded

that the fish feared the shark;

SNOW FALLS ON HILLS OF
ROME-RECALLS OLD LEGEND

Rome, July IA severe cold
wave is sweeping the entire prov
ince, with a heavy snowfall report
ed in the highlands surrounding
Rome. The inhabitants have been
forced to put on their winter clothing
and fires have been started in their
homes,
The cold weather in a season which
is usually hotter than the tropics,
recalls a legend dating back to the
fourth century, when it is said the
Virgin appeared to Johannes and
Pope Liberius. They were command
ed to build a church on a spot where
snow would fall the next morning,
August ). Accordingly, the Basili-
ca Santa Maria Maggiore, then the
largest church in Rome, was erected
and dedicated to the Virgin.

lifted, but enough space has been pro-
vided to give berths to merchant ship
ping. After this part of the job is
completed, the work of lifting the
Brussels, Captain Fryatts ship, will
begin. Then the blockships and much
other wreckage must be placed on the
beach.
After British Mine-sweepers have
taken up from the Zeebrugge-Bruge
canal the many mines which the
enemy sowed in it, the Belgians will
clear the channel of wreckage and
likewise clean Bruges dock, in
which Germans have sunk all sorts of
craft, from dredgers to destroyers.
AS for the Vindictive, no attempt
has yet been made to lift her. She
broke asunder in a recent storm, and
all hope of preserving her seems to
have gone. She is no impeachment to
navigation where she lies, so that the
work of removing her shot-riddled
hull can be left to the last.

Amazed That Dry Wave Has

London, July 11-"Some day there

will have the courage to tell his coun-

of liberty to allow any man or number
of men to interfere with anyone else
except insofar as he is nuisance or

succeeds the Americans will probably
make him King-under t. - title ana

says in long editorial discussing
prohibition in the United States The
editorial is both humorous and sar-
castle. 1t continues:
Americans who have fondly

have to revise their ideas and either
find some new definition of liberty or
admit that they have been deprived
of that boon.
I'VE do not for one moment sup
pose that the majority of the Ameri-
can people are really in favor of this
amazing abridgment of their natural
rights, but the prohibitionists have
captured the machine, and. as usual
ly happens in such cases, the democ-
racy is powerless. The average
American has become ashamed to say
in public that he likes a cocktail or a
