Queer Trap for Smokers.

The navy officers who commanded
the Leviathan when that mighty ship
was being used as transport are still
laughing over the humorous manner
in which members Of the crew were
once caught breaking rules.
For the men were caught smoking
off duty latter the smoking light was
out" as they say In naval parlance.
which is to cay that it was against
the rules at that hour, and they were
caught by means OF the ships fire
detection system.
1t appears that the men sought q
lower hold far from the haunts OF the
officers on duty, and there believing
themselves carefully concealed, they
had begun smoking to their hearts
content. But the ships fire detection
system consisted Of a series Of pipes
to the holds thru which a suction
fan was continually drawing air
samples to the wheelhouse.
Here the officer on duty noticed the
curling wisps Of smoke coming from
the pipe TO one OF the lower holds.
Not only that. but on investigating
the smoke he noticed the old familiar
ter of moments to hurry down to the
hold, catch the men in the act and
start them on a round of extra duty.
which, IL it did not cure the longing
for smoke, at least temporarily re-
formed them of smoking aboard ship,
And the funny part of it was that for
a long time after that the men were
puzzled to know how the officer had
traced them.
The hold was near the bottom OF
the ship, far from the wheelhouse
and there was not another man with
| in many yards of their position. They
knew no officer had followed them
and they thought at least that there
was no direct connection between
the hold and the wheelhouse
And no one enlightened them dur
ing many trips to France and back
| until one of the men, happening tc

| collectors" learned that it was the
fire detecting system which had
proved their undolng.

To chose women who have not yet

heartening. The advance fall mod

Such precocious children rarely ap-

SECRETARY
URGES MEN
TO HARVEST
E. T. Meredith of u. S. Dept
of Agriculture Asks Bust
ness Mems Help.

Secretary Edward A. Ketter Of the
local Commercial club is in receipt of
a letter from Secretary e. T. Meredith
of the United States department Of
agriculture. in which he urges that
the business men of the various farm
ing communities in the country size
so that when the harvest time ONE
the farmer will not be handicapped
for lack of help. If steps are not
taken in this direction Immediately,
the secretary of agriculture points out
that when harvest time comes in the
fall help is going to be scarce, and
as a result it will be impossible for
the farmer to harvest all his grain
which will reflect back on the people
in the form Of higher prices.
Secretary Meredith suggests two
plans which can be used to overcome
the possible labor shortage. The first
Is to ascertain the possible needs of
the farmers and notify the secretary
Of agriculture so that he can look
over the country and urge men where
there is a surplus of labor to go to
the places where they are needed.
The second plan as suggested by
the secretary would call upon the
business men Of the various COM
munities to forego their annual hunt
in the fall and devote it to a camping
expedition, doing farm work. The
secretary suggests that a crew Of if
teen business men and students can
form a camp in the rural districts
for two or three weeks and move
from one farm to another, helping
the farmers as they go. In that way
the business man will get as much
relaxation as If he went on a big game
hunt and at the same time he will be
giving valuable help to prevent a still
further increase in prices.
