LEAVES us. SERVICE |
| AFTER SIXTY YEARS
John C.. Hesse, IS, Among
Those to Be Pensioned by
War Department.

John c. Hesse, who is eighty five
years of age and who has served con-
tinuously for nearly sixty years in the
adsutant generals Office, War Depart
ment, is among the veterans of that
department to be retired with a PEN
sion under the act of May 20, 1920.
Mr.. Hesse began his departmental
service as a general service clerk in No
vehber, 1862, and by successive promo
tons reached the $500 class in April,
1864
In July. 1902, he was appointed chief
OF division at $1,000 and has filed that
position to date. Because of special
eff1clency. however, his salary was in
creased in August, 1917, to $4,000, and
lew months later to $1,000.
Mr.. Hesse was highly regarded by Adj
Gems. A1nsworth and Mccain, and was
lntrusted by them with many important
duties.
He treasures particularly a personal
letter from Adjt Gen. Mccain telling
now much he appreciated his loyal and
efficient help and adding that Mr..
Hesse was an inspiration to all who
felt like falling by the wayside, and
that Mr. Hesse's loyalty to the office
was fine to see''
Mr.: Hesse is one of the very few
civilians awarded the congressional
medal of honor. Before he entered the
War Department he was an enlisted
man in Company G. Sth United States
Infantry, and served on the frontier of
Texas against hostile Indians. Just
after the outbreak of the civil war the
9Th Infantry Regiment was surrendered
by Gen. Twiggs to the Confederate
forces in Texas. Private Hesse con-
cealed the regimental colors and man
aged to make his escape with them to
the Union lines, after many hardships
and adventures. 1t was for that heroic
service that he was awarded the medal
Of honor.

the federal authorities, saying he
deemed it the duty of his force to as
sist in enforcing all laws. federal or

One of the chief objects of the meet

sioner Kramer explain to the police
their duty in the matter of making
arrests in cases involving the sale of
favoring extracts. bitters and tonics.
1t was explained that the law pro-
, hints the sale of extracts for bever-

and has reason to believe the extracts
are to be used for beverage purposes
violates the law and should be ar

OCEAN RATE FARLEY.
Foreign Shippers in Pacific to b
Asked to Meet Americans.

Foreign shipping interests on the Pa
cific coast will be asked to join with
American shipping in what is hoped will
lead to an amicable and stable adjust
ment of the Pacific ocean rate question,
according to announcement today by
Chairman Benson of the Shipping Board
Rumors have been spread that the
United States intended to cut rates on
the Pacific, the chairman stated, but
he said it is not the intention of the
board to cut rates arbitrarily as long
as competition rests on a fair and
equitable basis There is plenty of bust
ness in the east for all the shipping
engaged in that trade, he said, and it
is not the policy of the board to seek
any undue advantage for it's vessels.
However, he intimated. should the board
find itself contending with any unfair
methods it held the power to protect
American shipping interests.

Purple Ore Now In Demand.

Purple ore is an unknown quantity

is a heavy purplish powder used chief
ly as ballast by ships leaving French
ports. So little worth was attached
to the ore five months ago that 1t sold
IN Bordeaux for 1850 francs a ton.
Since then 1t has been put to new uses
and, with the rise in demand there
has been n corresponding rise In price,
Purple ore has a rich iron content, and
that fact has been sufficient to prompt
English manufacturers TO devise new
uses for the powder. Its sudden leap
into the limelight will perhaps stimu'

minerals, the possibilities of which
may have been overlooked In the rapid
march of all branches of engineering.

Why Right Tires Wear.

Most motorists have noticed that
tires on the right side of car wear
more than those on the left side and
many ascribe this to turning corners
to the right more than to the left.
But they are wrong, asserts an ex-
pert driver. The increased wear, he
says, is caused by the pitch Of the
road, which throws more of the car
on the right side than on the left.
The slope Of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear. The same is true
Of the right front as against the left
front. For this reason it is advised
that tires be changed around once
month. The order of rotation de-
clared best Is right rear, left rear,
right front then left front.
