SCIENTIST is
SEARCHING FOR
SPAWNING EELS

Cardiff, Wales, Sept 21.-Dr. Jo-
hannes Schmidt, a Danish scientist,
is searching the Atlantic between
the Azores and the West Indies for
spawning fresh water cells, which the
eye of man has never seen.
This announcement was made by
Dr. W. A Herdman professor of
oceanography at Liverpool University,
the annual conference of the British
ASsocia ton.

lakes of northwestern Europe" DR..

has ever been seen. After living for
years in immaturity, at last near the
end of their lives the large male and
female yellow cells undergo change
in appearance and in nature. They
acquire a silvery color and their eyes
enlarge and in this bridal attire
they commence the long journey
which ends in maturity, reproduction
and death.

SIX AMERICANS
ARRESTED. FOR
SUPPLIES THEFT

News reports from Constantinople
recount that six Americans, ex-sol-
diers, have been arrested at the in
stance of Colonel ]. P. Coombs, Man
eging Director of the Near East Re-
lief, charged with the theft of sup
plies destined for the starving Ar
men1ans, including condensed milk
for the thousands of babies under
Am erican care.
There are some things that are al
most beyond belief. To steal from
little children the very milk without
one of them. A good many hard
things have been said about the Ar
I1enians by those who do not know
them or who cannot conceive the tor
ture of centuries through which the
Armenian people have passed. But
no one has ever yet accused an Ar
menian of stealing milk from starry
ing babies. 1t took Americans to do
that-and men who were once 1ol-
diersi
Colonel Coombs is prosecuting the
men who have been guilty of this
incre dib1e theft. He expects to re-
cover at least $4,000 of the $4,000
worth of stolen supplies belonging
to the Near East Relief. The work
of the Near East Relief will not be
1essened or hampered. New supplies
will be rushed to take the place of
those lost The $4,000 babies who are
today housed, clothed and fed by the
Near East Relief and the 5000 who
have no other food to keep them
alive than the milk the American
people furnish them, through the
Near East Relief, will not suffer
AS for those on trial, it is difficult
to visualize a punishment suitable to
men who steal the milk of starving
babies That they are former soldiers
only make it worse. Colonel Coombs
was also a soldier, who served in
France with the And Division. He
may be trusted to see that the men
who have been guilty of this hideous
business are fittingly dea1th with, an

American to handle these Americans
in an American way.
And, after all, there are the babies.
Their lives have been saved by the
mercy and generosity of American
men and women. The spirit of hui
man kindness in thousands of Ameri-
cans has gone out to them and kept
them from famine and death. 1t is
not credible that when they grow to
manhood and womanhood they
should not be better and finer for the
great impulse of philanthropy in
whole nation that gave them their
chance at life.

THE TRAMP

The lights of great city We're
going out, one by one. Few people
were on the streets. In front of a
saloon, whose lights shone out
bright and ruddy, stood dirty,
ragged tramp. He watched with
envious eyes the men who passed
in and out through he swinging
doors. Two handsome, well-dress-
ed young fellows came along who
evidently We're out for a good
time. They invited the tramp into
the saloon and filed a large glass
with whiskey which the hobo soon
disposed of. One Of the young men
said to the tramp, cts poor liq-
uor that doesn t unloosen mans
tongue. Now give us a speech for
the drink" And he did; but lis

Demand and Supply of the Cost Of

lar.
Paper read by Mrs. P. McCor-
mick at last meeting OF Camulos
Club:
With the increased burden of
living knocking at the door of al
most every American family, some
thing has to be done.
If every one of the twenty-five
million housekeepers in this coun-
try would make possible a saving
in each family of fifty cents week
there would be eleven million of
surplus capital each week in our
country.
We are being forced back to the
purchase of simple foods. We are
compelled to eat less meat Tor
cheaper cuts), and less sugar. We
are compelled to economize and
purchase only the necessities. We
are being educated up to the bal
anced ration.
Wise spending means the pur-
chase of food containing maximum
nourishment at the lowest cost con-
sistent with quality. Cooperation
in one form or another seems the
only remedy. Cooperative buy
ing may be anything from the pur-
chasing of barrel of apples or

ALGIERS WALKS
NO CARS RUNNING
LOCAL STREET CARMEN ASK
LIVING WAGES; NO ATTEMPT
BY COMPANY TO RUN CARS;
FORTY MEN INVOLVED

The threatened strike of the street
carmen operating the West New Or
leans Light and Traction Company
and the South New Orleans Light and
Traction Company was begun Mon
day morning, when the men refused
to take out the cars unless a living
wage was paid for their services.
They are demanding only forty
five cents per hour, which is in many
instances, less than the wages paid
to common negro laborer through
out the South.
The Railway Companies have
agreed with the men to pay the forty
five cents demanded, provided the
commission council will allow an
eight cent carfare on this side OF the
river.
II is extremely doubtful even
though the council will allow an
eight cent fare, that the Railway
Company on this side OF the river
will be able to cope with the new
conditions for the fact that the great
er part of their haul is so short that
hundreds of people will walk, instead
OF paying sixteen cents or ninety-six
cents a week for transportation. The
Herald believes very firmly that the
Railway Company would serve its in
hN- ~, ina G,-n
cents fare and haul the people than
TO charge eight cents making this
prohibitive to the working class.
The eight cent fare in Algiers will
be fought just the same as it is being
fought in the city.
Up to the present time, there seems
to have been very little inconvenience
to the public on account of the strike
for the fact jitneys are operating for
ten cents and most all patrons would
rather pay two cents more and ride
in an automobile, taking them almost
directly in front of their door, than
pay an eight cent carfare
Transportation to Gretna and other
points on this side of the river reach
ed by the West New Orleans Light
and Traction Company may be had
by using the street cars on the city
side of the river and thence by ferry
to their destination. The Naval
Station routes are being covered by
autos and trucks, mank going as far
sthe terminum of the road.
