SLEPT AMONG THE DEPARTED
Travellers in Auto UnknowinsIy Sc
lected Peculiar Place in Which
to Pass the Night.

They lived in Milwaukee and "aiv-
vered" through to Indianapolis
with their two children. They left
home early in the morning, arriving
at Gary just before dark. Anxious
to reach their destination as soon as
possible, they left Gary after getting
supply of gasoline.
A few miles out of Gary heavy
rainstorm checked their progress and
shrouded the countryside in pitch
darkness. Losing their way they de-
cided to turn in at the first gate and
spend the rest of the night IN the
automobile, rather than take chances
of travelling by night In the darkness
on unknown roads.
A few miles further on the outline
of tree just beyond an open gate was
seen, and the auto was guided beneath.
The couple and children slept in
cramped quarters in the auto and
awakened at daybreak next morning.
Imagine their horror when they dis
covered they had slept all night in

Beginning Of Life Insurance.

Life insurance grew out Of marine
insurance, for merchants sending
goods by sea in early. times usually
accompanied the ship themselves, and
were liable to capture by pirates, es-
pecially by the Moorish and Turkish
pirates who then infested the Mediter-
ranean sea. In order to provide the
necessary ransom for their release, if
captured, it became the practice OF
travelling merchants to pay premium
to certain individuals, called under
writer's, who guaranteed the payment
of the ransom in the event of the mer-
chants being caught. The practice
was gradually extended to insuring
the lives, first of mariners and then
OF other persons. the underwriters
agreeing, In return for certain pre-
MUM, to pay fixed amount if the
person insured died within certain
time. Out Of this was evolved the var
ious forms of contracts Of life insur-
ance in use today.

Bath, England. a shocking case OF
plant over-eating was discovered. It
resulted in seven daisies growing on

was caused by fesciation, which
means over-eating. White blackbirds,
canaries, linnets and sparrows have
been seen and exhibited. The ocean,
too, gives its share Of curious freaks.
A double-sided founder, with both
sides alike, duplicate fms and MIS-

ADDED TO ROLL OF HONOR
Soldiers Reported "Missins in Action"
Have Been Chased 40 "Pre.
sumed Dead"

According to The Home Sector there
are still between $50 and 300 members
Of the American front line army still
unaccounted for.
In speaking of this war mystery OF
missing men the ex-soldier's magazine
says: SOLDIERS who go into battle are
like men who go down to the sea In
ships. There are those who return and
those who do not, those who live and
those who die. And then there are
those who dwell for years in twilight
zone Of uncertainty, neither life nor
death, from which no word ever comes
back to the shores called home.
IA few weeks ago the newspapers
of the country announced that there
were no more members Of the A. e. F.
missing in action The only reason
they are not missing in action Is that
they have been presumed dead
"There are still between $50 and 300
members of the American front line
army unaccounted for, who, carried on
the rolls for months and months as
missing in action, seem to have dis
appeared from the battle field as If
by the wave of a maglcian's wand,
leaving neither the ripple Of rumor
behind them, the testimony of an eye,
nor n footprint in all the paths OF the
world.
"They are the irreducible minimum
of the $4,000 lost, strayed or stolen
men that the A. e. f. carried on the
morning of Nov. 10, 1913, as missing
in action. To guard against injustice
to their relatives or friends, the war
department has ordered that from
henceforth they be carried as pre-
sumed dead instead Of missing in &c
tion,' In order that their war risk in
surance benefits may be paid. That In
brief explains why the American army
as it stands demobilized today techri
cally has no missing in action

CHURCH SMALL BUT FAMOUS
Brent Tor, on Coast Of Devonshire.
England. Has Been Prominent
Landmark for Centuries.

Brent Tor is little bit of stone
church built high on the frowning
cliffs of the wild North Devonshire
coast In England The church Is so
little that a Devonshire yokel with a
keen sense of humor is said to have In
scribed this cryptic warning, which
puzzled many supplemented Devon
shire farmer: "If you get into the
second aisle of Brent Tor, you will
never get out gain" There is no Sec
ond aisle In the wee church at all.
Brent Tor was built centuries ago
by a man who was lost among the
steep cliffs and rushing waters of the
wild North Devon coast. The fog
mfsts enveloped him. In his anguish
as the roar and spray of the cold AT.
lantic assailed him he vowed solemnly
that If he ever came safely out of the
fog without pitching into the growing
ocean he would build church where
he landed. Brent Tor was the result.
The good folk round about Devon
shire tell how the devil tried to ham
per the building of the little church.
At last st. Michael de la Rupc. to
whom 1t was dedicated, grew weary
of having the devil interfere with the
proceedings and heaved a great mass
OF cliff at his satanic majesty. There
was no further trouble.
A popularity of Brent Tor Is the
fact that 1t can be seen from all d.
rections-it is veritable landmark.
Before it toss the restless waves OF
the Atlantic ocean and behind 1t slope
the undulating Devonshire moors.

GETS
CARPENTER GO
Bat Picked as Yank Trial
Horse for Frenchie.

NEW YORK, May 24-The signing Of
Georges Carpenter and Bat Levinsky
for a bout for the worlds light heavy
weight championship was the chief topic
of discussion in American boxing circles
today.
Despite repeated assurances that he
came here to 6ght-to meet Jack Demp-
sey, if possible-many American boxing
fans had begun to believe that Carpen-
tier would eventually return to France
without drawing on the gloves in a pro-
fessisonal contest on this side of the
pond. So his matching with Levinsky
was welcome news
Levinsky, recognized as Americas
light heavyweight champion, should prove
a worthy opponent for the Frenchman.
Levinsky combines speed and clever
ness with quite little punching ability
and though he has been in the ring for
a number of years and has always ranked
as one of the best in this countrys
busiest boxers, he is a good trial horse
for Georges.
As Carpenter is holder of both tia.
heavyweight and light heavyweight TN
ties of Europe, his match with Levin
sky will be a title affair, and if he hopes
to meet Jack Dempsey he must defeat
the Battler-a task that none Of the
American heavyweights, aside from Jack
Dempsey, has been able to perform de-
cisively, though reports from the recent
bout last Friday indicated that Levin
sky had been outwitted by Chuck Wig
gins of Indianapolis.
The Levinsky- Carpenter battle will
be either for twelve or fifteen rounds,
with or without decision, depending on
where it is held.
Curley will name a site four weeks
in advance of the bout and it is probable
that New York will land the plum, for
favorable action on the Walker boxing
bill by Gov. Smith is expected within
few days.
