SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS
Give Proof That Birds Are Still the
Undisputed Champions in the
Flying Game.

Long-dstance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proofs of their endur-
ance and wanderlust comes in re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers in England to tenn
porary homes in South Africa. These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other
end of the world. One nesting hinged
in Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February of the next year
another, ringed in Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March in Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire,
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; fourth swallow,
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire. was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward; the fifth bird,
ringed on June l, 1919 in Stirlingshire,
was found in February, 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
by ]. II. Whitherby, editor OF British
Birds.

RUBY is JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through thu
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July.
1t was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed off on the pub
lie it is difficult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than it is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that if a ruby were worn about the
neck 1t conferred the power of seeing
In the dark. One wonders what mOnu-
mental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen.
orally believed, however, possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be a
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening
of its color it forewarned it's wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied
upon the forehead in linen cloth it
was believed to be a specific for dis
ease of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.

DRAFT DODGERS

DRAFT DODGERS WILL BE PUB
LIsHED TO THE WORLD, so
THEY MAY BE KNOWN
DESEUTERS NUMBER 1881
II Will Fall On All, Rich And Poor
Alike, And Interesting Disclosures
Are Anticipated

WashingtOn.-Less than one per cent
of more than two million four hun
dred thousand men who registered un-
der the selective service act during
the war have been found chargeable
with willful desertion, according &c
an announcement issued by the war de
partment. The actual figure is 49,
931 against whom desertion charges
have been recorded, and this repre-
sents, the statement says, a "tremen'
dous improvement over the draft rec.
ord of the Civil war"
The department will soon make pub
lie the names of those branded as de-
serters and the statement adds that
the government desires to obtain the
cooperation of the various state and
local officials, patriotic societies and
other agencies, including the depart
ment of justice, in bringing about the
apprehension of these men,"
Pending publication of the list the
statement continues, any man charged
with desertion may avoid arrest by sur
rendering at the nearest army post
where his case can be investigated ana
his status determined. If his record Is
cleared, his name will be omitted from
the deserter list when it is made pub
lie. Those in doubt as to their sta
tus are urged to address inquiries to
the adjutant general of the army.
The list for publication was COM
piled after local boards had been In
structed to segregate and send to WASH
ington records of all men classed as
draft deserters during the war period.
A total OF 1903 records were lor-
warded, but on examination at the
war department it was shown that
163, 900 of these dealt with cases dis
posed of during the war They lnclud'
ed registrants who enlisted voluntarily
and failed to notify their draft board !;
men who failed to report when drafted,
because of ignorance, and who subse'
quently reported at the camps 1or
duty: few men discharged as physl'
cally unfit and some convicted OF de-
sertion during the war and reglstrants
who died between the time they re-
ceived their call to the colors and the
date on which they were ordered TO
report.
The records in 1000 other cases
also show that willful desertion couid
not be charged against the men, and
they we're eliminated from the list.
"The war department wishes it clear
ly understood that men who are gull
ty of willful desertion will not be re-
Iieved of the consequences OF their
misconduct, nor will they be dlscharg'
ed because they write to the adjutant
general of the army and request their
discharge" the statement says.
1t adds that because of the tremen-
dous expense which would be incurred
payment of the $50 reward for appre-
hension of draft deserters has been
temporarily suspended and the task OF
rounding them up left for the present
to the patriotism of the nation.

HOLY Roller Greed Fails To Save Baby

Fort Payne, Ala.-Reports reached
here from Sand Mountain that indlg
nant mountaineers are threatening to
lynch members of the Holy Roller con-
gregation there, following the death OF
baby which had been bitten by
rattlesnake during a seance at the
church one night recently. 1t is also
reported that the father of the chlld
was bitten at the same time and Is
expected to die. An effort was made
to secure a physician here after the
child's condition had become known,
but. due to a terrific storm that was
prevailing, he was unable to reach the
mountain in time to save the chlld:
which died in terrible agony. 1t Is al
legged to be one of the tenets OF the
HOLY Roller Church of Cod sect that
their members are immune from the
fangs of poisonous reptiles, and rattle
snakes are said to play prominent
mart in their services, especially dur

unknown tongues, and the exhorters
engage in many unusual contortions
