Here Is Town i'm Market
For Secondhand .Jails
Homer, La, Got Along All Right
Without One Until Oil
Boom Caused Rush

The town of Homer, La, Is in the
market for a couple of slightly-used
secondhand jails and would like to
hear from cities where the advent Of
prohibition has rendered cells and bars
useless.
The chief of police claims that the
fellow who wrote the immortal line
about never missing water until the
we'll petered out must have had some
experience hereabouts. The chief has
just discovered that the town hasn't
any jail. A king without country
might have been all right few years
ago, but John Law without a hoosegow
is the maximum in hard luck, he says.
But to hark back: When the peace
full cotton fields of the vicinity began to
shoot oil in the air about q year age
and the rush assumed the aspects of q
real boom, it appeared as though q city
jail would be among the essentials
Even the oldest inhabitant who had al
ways been honest and law abiding, ad-
mitted that the influx of boomers would
make Jail vital necessity.
Strange to say, however, the usual
"roughnecks" either kept away from
Homer or behaved like gentlemen after
they got there. Hence the matter of
erecting a celhouse was deferred in
definitely and Pogle's restaurant con-
tinued as police headquters. None cf
the scenes which marked the discovery
of Cripple Creek, Goldfeld and Burk-
burnett has been staged in Ho-
mer thus far, and the boom is still per-
mitted as subject of parlor conver-
sation in the best circles.
Nor is there any particular use for
a jail now. The chief has just dis
covered, however, that oil men left oct
in nocturnal hours are willing to spend
from so cents to S5 even for a cot in q
jail. Hotel accommodations were neve.
adequate even in the days when poul
try feed "drummers" were the town S
principal visitors and a jail or two
could be put to good use, says the

On the advice Of J. Henry Esser, coun-
sci to the Municipal Water Board, al
most everybody refused to pay their
bills in advance.
Employees of the company dashed
from house to house turning off the
water. About block and half be-

came representatives of the Water
Board, who promptly turned the waite,

American Soldiers Won
6,6l0 War Decorations
Enlisted Men Received More
Than Half of Awards for
XaIor and Service

Enlisted men in the A. E. T. received
51.4 per cents of the 6,619 American
medals bestowed FOR valorous and dis
tinguished conduct during the war,
according to { recent announcement
from the War Department. This total
does not take into account the foreign
decorations awarded to American SOL
diers, but it does include foreign SOL
diers and civilians who got American
decorations. Ninety-one foreign OIL
GERS and thirty-three foreign enlisted
men. most of them members of the
hundred and thirty-four foreign off,
GERS got the D., NJ, as did seventeen
foreign civilians, making a total of
'b75 American decorations awarded to
foreigners.
One of the most interesting items
in the report is the announcement
that eight American civilians won the
D. S. C. for valor in the face of the
enemy. All were welfare workers at
the front. The thirty D. S. C.'s for
enlisted men of the United States Navy,
it should be noted, were the army
medals, and not the Navy Cross, the
navys counterpart of the D. S. c.
Seventy-three of the ninety-five oak

a second award of the D. S. c. were
presented to officers, as most of the
oak-leaf wearers were aviators. Amer
ica's ace of aces, Captain E. V. Ricken-
hacker, for instance, got six oakleaf
clusters, which is only another way Of
saying that he won the d. S. C. seven
times.

How Rugs Become ''Antique"

How genuine antique rugs" are
manufactured and prepared for Eur,-
pean markets and American markets
is told by an American who visited
Bagdad The shopping streets seem
like tunnels. They are arched over
head with brick to keep out the heat;
thus they run, like subways, up and
down the bazaar quarter. Through
those long, sitting, family lighted tun~
nels throng the eternal crowd of men,
mules and camels. Often one will see
fine rug lying fiat IN the filth of a
narrow street, ground beneath the
tramp of men and beasts, but there is
method in this. Foreigners make
Oriental rugs, bright and new, in Persia
and sell them through Bagdad. Since
an "old rug" is worth more, willy brok-
ers have h on this way to make a new
rug look old.

BOMBAY, April 5.-Mashuds, tribes
men on the Abysinnian border, who
during the frontier campaign. repeat
edly desecrated graves in which Brit
ish soldiers had been buried, have just
been taught severe lesson that will
make them chary of meddling with the
dead in the future.
A trap was set for them. A grave
was fixed up which was made to ap-
pear that it contained the body of a
British officer. 1t contained something
much more deadly in the shape Of
gun-cotton and other explosives.
Six Mashuds started to open the
supposed grave. Five of them were
blown to pieces. The sixth had just
enough life left in him when dis
covered to tell what had happened.
