FIRST USED IN CIVIL WAF;
Idea of Divisional Insignia Is Crediteth /
to General Joseph Hooker-Were
Worn as Cap Ornaments.

"The divisional insignia, which was
hailed as something of novelty when
it WAS introduced in the A. Il. F., did
not stand for an entirely new idea In
uniform decorations for an American
army" says the Home Sector, the ex-
soldiers weekly.
"Gen. Joseph HoOker-'Fighting
Joe'-whose record in another Amer
lean war fought sixty years ago has
not been entirely submerged In the
vast history that grew out Of that
war. had conceived the same insig-
mia idea, and the men Of the regi-
mpnts fighting under him in the
Civil war put on distinctive EN-
blem and thereby established q fash
ion that was adopted by all the
Union forces. The idea did not die
with the Civil war, for in the Span
ish-American war also American SOL
diers wore distinctive emblems to
show what organization they belonged
to. ...
'The divisional insignia as worn by
the A. Z. r. was new. however, In the
details of it's wearing, for the soldiers
of the Civil war and Of the Spanish
American war did not wear cloth
patches on the left shoulder. The
fighting men of the Civil war wore
their emblems-made Of metal, Wlth
cloth centers-as cap ornaments. the
soldiers of the Spanlsh-American war
displayed their own organization

Island Of Crete "Upending."

In the course of a discussion on the
subject of Crete at the Royal Geo
graphical society, Prof. l.. ]. Myres de-
scribed two remarkable changes Of
ground level that have occurred there
since classical times, says the Scientific
American.
The whole island has swung upon an
axis. the eastern half sinking and the
western rising, so that whereas at
Hierapetras and Spinalonga the an
cient quays and harbor works are now
under water, the little Greek harbor OF
Phalasarna, at the west end of the is
land, is now totally upheaved, so that
one can walk about on the floor of the
ancient harbor, upraised and dry.

Counterfeit Stamp Has Mumps

Postmaster Monterey today issued
a warning to thrifty persons here
abouts to be on their guard. against
buying counterfeit War Saving Stam
ps. Fraudulent blue stamps of the
1919. series have been made by count
erfeiters, the postmaster has been ad
vised, and are being sold to the 'un-
wary.
But frauds can be detected" the
postmaster said. Ben Franklin's pic
ture appears on the stamp, and in the
counterfeit stamp, old Ben seems to
have the munps in his left jaw, in
deed there is pronounced swelling.
Then under the portrait the lower
of the two left dots is compa 2tively
indistinct, and the vertical Opening be
tween the lines in the lower left part
of the numeral 20 in the date 1924
| is closed. The principal feature of the
fraud, however, is the swollen cheek.
at should be remembered that the
tcounterfeit is only of the 1919
series, and, like the origional is blue.
Blue War Saving Stamps can no long
er be bought from post offices or 9th
er authorized agencies. Only the 1920
stamps, which are red, are now being
sold by agencies. Sales of last years
stamps are not legal. No one should
buy a 1919 stamp, though it is true
that some have been improperly Of
fered for sale. #
Everyone who bought 1919 stamp
last year may feel perfectly safe" :"
the postmaster said in conclusion, be
cause the counterfeit was not made
until after the first of this year. The
blue stamps had then been with
drawn from sale by the authorized
agencies, and the red 1920 stamp was
being sold. Don't buy any 1919
stamps, and keep a look out for the
picture of the man with the mumps
If you see one let me know. -

Drink More Milk Campaign Success

Milk is plentiful on practically ev-
cry farm in the Middle West, yet com
paratively little is drunk by formers
children. In fact, less milk is drunk
by boys and girls, taking the whole
country over, than by city children
statistics show. This, in spite of the
fost that milk is cheaper and freisher
in the country than in +he city. 1t is
said that this accounts for the fact
that the proportion of under-nourish-
ed children in the country than in
the city.
To get more children, both in the
city and in the country, to drink
milk is the endeavor this year of the
dairy division Of the United +Statcs
Department CT Agriculture, cocperat
ing with the State Agricultural col
leges. During the last year six CAM
paigns have been carried on in Con-
necticut, four in New Jersey, six in
Massachusetts, and one in a dozen
other states. The increase in milk con
sumption followinga campaign has
beer from l to 33 per cent.
Iowa, during the last six months,
has been making i special effcri to
improve the health OF it's children in
the State by inducing them to drink
more milk. The work started last Oc-
tober with a milk week" During
the six days of lectures and demon
strations $1,000 people were reached
directly and 100000 indirectly. Lib
raries, schools, and clubs cooperated
in the work and during the week 4,
500 school children wrote essays on
the value of milk.
In one Iowa county among 308 rur
al school children only ia drank milk
at all before the campaign, but 5
brought milk to chool for lunch. Since
then an increase in consumption Of
milk amounting to Is to rs per cent
has been made in the various count.
les in the State, and thousands Of rtr
al school children are now carrying
milk TO school for lunch.

STEEL CONDITIONS
Report on Labor Predicts
Industrial War Unless
Government Acts.

Fears that the steel industry in the
United States is drifting toward "un-
restricted warfare" between laborer
and employer is expressed in let
ter addressed to President Wilson by
a commission of the Interchurch
World Movement, which asks the
President to appoint a commission to
adjust differences in the steel indus
try. such as that which investigated
the bituminouS coal situation d few
months ago.
The letter was accompanied by the
church commissions report of the
late steel strike. a document contain
ing $4,000 words which. in the words
of Daniel A. Polling. secretary, con
stitutes "a serious indictment of the
labor policy of the United States
Steel Corporation"
Unless vital changes are brought to
pass the letter says, renewal of
the conflict in the steel mills seems
inevitable.
Believes Facts Are Presented.
There can be no doubt that the
report will be regarded by the pub
lie as strongly favoring the laboring
mans side of the case. said Or. FOL
ing in making public the report. The
commission believes that such i'm
preston corresponds wholly with the

Bishop Mcconnell tchairman), Bishop
William Bell Mrs. Fred Bennett
George W. Coleman, DIR. john NC
Dowell Prof. Alva w. Taylor, Dr.
Nicholas Van Der Pyl and BISHOP
Charles d. Williams.
Excessive hours. the boss system
and denial of the right of organization
and representation are the fundamental
grievances which the commission re-
ported.
"All the conditions that caused the
steel strike continue to exist, the re-
port concludes. I'VE feel that unless
changes are made approximating IN
some degree the findings here presented
another strike must come. In the
measure thet workingmen become in
telGgent and Americanizec Will they re.
fuse to labor under such conditions.
Major Recommendations
Nine ajor recommendations are
made by the commission, including the
recognition of an e:ght-hour day, six
