Newark post., 1919-03-12

the homing pigeon differs materi-
ally from the carrier pigeon so
long associated with the bearing
of messages. AS matter of fact,
the carrier pigeon has practically
ceased carrying and is nowadays
raised for it's fine looks rather than
its homing instinct. The homing
pigeon used in the United States
Army and Navy is of another type,
which has been trained through
many generations to fly. Training
begins when the birds are about
three months old, and the flying
distances are gradually increased
to 500 miles, when the bird is held
to be qualified for real work.

INSPECTED C.. & d. CANAL

Cost of reconstructing tn e
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
in accordance with plans now
formulated will be about $12,500,-
900, according to Colonel j. P.
Jervey, United States Engineer,
who is in charge of the work.
Colonel Jervey has returned
from an inspection of the canal,
making the trip to Chesapeake City
and return in the "Gannett." Some
of the right-of-way, Colonel Jer-
vey says, will have to be obtained
by agreement, some by condemna-
tion proceedings. There are no ap-
parent difficulties Of an engineer
ing nature, it is understood.
Work of construction will be
complicated by the necessity of
maintaining traffic through the
canal while it is being improved
and rebuilt. Acquisition Of the
canal from the present owners
through condemnation proceedings
has been started, hearings to be
held in Wilmington during the
March term of Federal Court.

He Wanted A German
Hunting License

George Walsh, the popular Will
liam Fox star will be seen at the
Newark Opera House Tuesday
March 18 in his latest picture, CPL
Say So"
Those who admire the George
Walsh brand of dash and ginger
will not be disappointed in this
new production of his, for it is ever
present in new and startling sur
prises.
"Pll Say So' is the story of young
American, who wanted a German
hunting license as soon as he heard
that the United States has declar-
ed war. He had fiat feet however,
and as the Germans were fast run
ners, Uncle Sam turned him down,
because he needed men who could
keep up with them.
George may have been too slow
for the army but he certainly was
not too slow for a number of Ger
man agents who were resperately
engaged in stirring up a bush
league war with Villa.
A Mexican raid staged with all
the elaborateness of a serious dra-
ma is but mere incident to form
a background for the rapid fire
action of the hero.-Adv.

To Test Staple
Clothing Materials

When buying staple clothing
materials, if you are not a good
judge of quality, it is an excellent
idea to look at several pieces of
the same type of material but with
different prices and compare the
weight, color, and firmness of
weave. Such a comparison will
often emphasize the fact that the
most expensive piece is not neces-
sarily the best quality. 1t may be
the seasons most fashionable color
and weight and it's higher price
probably is due to slight variations
in the finishing and the feeting
popularity of the style.
There has been a tendency to
abuse the practice of asking for
samples from dress goods depart
ments, but it will give the oppor-
tunity for home tests. Cotton and
linen are affected by acids and
very slightly affected by alkalies
while the reverse is true of woods
The alkalies found in the home are
washing sodas and the washing
powders.
The following is simple test to
determine the amount of cotton in
mixed fabric:
Add a tablespoons of washing
soda, or tablespoons of washing
powder to a pint of soft water. The
washing soda should be rolled tc
powder before measuring. Bring
to boiling and add sample, which
should be about 1 p inches square
Boil carefully, to avoid scattering
for 20 minutes, adding water at in
tervals to replace that lost by evap
oration. Transfer sample to colo
water and rub between the fingers
! The wool, which is gelatinized by
the boiling, will disappear on rub
bing and the cotton threads will
be left unchanged.

How "Black Jack" Pershing
Got His Nickname

There has been a good deal of
mystery as to when and why
Pershing got the nickname "Black
Jack" He is a pronounced blond.
What suggested to his foster
christeners the label "Black?"
have talked with army officers, old
friends of Pershing, who have ex-
pressed the belief that the name
was simply invested by some news
paper man wha believed that man
with picturesque career should
have picture handle to his name.
Ever since Pershing's military
achievements in the Philippines
put his name in the newspapers
chroniclers of his doing have pre-
sented him to the public as "Black
Jack" Pershing. The use of this
soubriquet has always sounded a
certain note of admiration, as
though Pershing, the soldier, were
possessed of the same deadly wal
lop as is that deadly little weapon
whose name he shares.
The truth is that Pershing was
nicknamed by the cadets "Blacl
Jack" because of his unpopularity
as a tactical officer. The cadets
wanted an opprobrious title fol
him. Those unusually fertile fields
of suggestion-some popularity o.
appearance or manner-were bar
rem. The inspiration came 20 some
cadet: Pershing was detailed tt
the Military Academy from thu
Tenth Cavalry, negro regiment
{ "Nigger Jack" he became. In tim,
this evolved into "Black Jack"

Don't Abandon
The Home Garden

Don't forget to include the home
garden as one of your main lines
of work the coming season. If you
have not already made your plains
for garden do so at once. Select,
fertilize, and prepare your ground
as soon as possible. The seed sup
ply should also be looked after and
ordered at the earliest possible
date, in order to prevent disap-
pointments and delays in planting.
See that the garden includes a
good variety of vegetables, and
also plant it so that it will con-
tinue to work for you and supply
your table with fresh vegetables
throughout the entire summer and
fall. Too many gardens are
abandoned after the first crop of
vegetables is harvested in the
spring.

waddling little fellow with the
Kaiser that the reputation has
quite killed his popularity. Prob
ably no dog was ever ore unjustly
saddled with bad name. There
are, in America, friends of dach-
shunds who are not at all friendly
in their feelings toward Germany,
but it has become almost neces-
sary to conceal this sentiment of
hindliness. AS for. the sausage
dog himself there Is not the least
reason in accusing him of pro-
German sympathies.
The Westminster Kennel Club,
of New York, has devised a way to
rescue Bruno. The waddler will
not be banished or exterminated,
but he will be given a chance to
begin life anew under another
name. He will, in brief, be Anglic-
lied. Henceforth he is to be
known not as dachshund, but as
badger dog" His name is banned
in order that he himself may con-
tinue to exist.
1t will, probably, be some time
before Americans can contemplate
a badger dog" without thinking
Of the Kaiser or a junker, but there
is hope that the unfortunate asso-
citation of ideas may ultimately be
eradicated. There is no sense in
tabooing Thanksgiving turkeys be-
cause they remind us of the Otto,
man Turk or eschewing buttermilk
because it happens to be the ma,
tional tipple of the Bulgars. Let us
give the badger dog a chance or
his own merits to live down bac
reputation which he doubtless
never deserved.

their campaign for the erection of

felt by the colored women of the
city that one of the crying needs
for the colored girls is an indus
trial home where girls supposedly
incorrigible, or those accused of
slight offenses and remanded to
imprisonment might have chance
to be set Alright. To this end the

Half A Million Mules in
France With "Old Clory''

Mules are in favor as draft ami
mails in the war operations in this
country and in western Europe.
The exports during the war, un-
doubtedly for war purposes, were
about 100000 mules in place of a
normal export of probably $4,000.
The shipments overseas by the
War Department numbered about
$4,000 mules, and at about the end
of 1918 approximately 10000 were
in the service of the War Depart
ment in this country. Therefore,
nearly 100000 mules, the Bureau
of Crop Eestimates says, were sup
piled to the War Department and
the Allies by the farms of this
country for war service.
| Comparison of mules with draft
horses is interesting. The War De.
partment shipped overseas about
$4,000 mules and $4,000 draft
horses, of both of which only 6O(
were lost en- route. That depart
ment bought $4,000 mules il
France, Great Britain, and Spain
and $4,000 horses for all pur
poses, the draft horses not bein,
separately reported. On Decembe
25, 1918, there were on hand will
the American Expeditionary Force
$4,000 mules and 100 draf
horses, and the War Department
had on hand November 2, 1915
10000 mules and 10000 draf
horses.
