World War Veterans EnlIst Fer Ma
tional Guard Service ~

The post war aversion which Kan.
sas youths seemed TO have for mill
tary service In every form is giving
way to an appreciation Of the value
o fnation guard service, in the opin-
ion Of Charles ]. Martin. adjntant
general OF the K. N. G. Recruiting
In both old and new units is brisk,
General Martin reports.
Veterans Of the World war are en-
listing In rather large numbers and
in many instances furnish the offi-
Ger personnel. At Newton nearly all
members Of Company F, 18TH in
fantry, X. N. G., are also members OF
the American Legion.
Following the war our young men
were fed up on soldier life," said
Adjutant General Martin. But now
many service men are showing keen
interest in the national guard"
The federally recognized enlisted
strength Of the X. N. G. was 2,444
on November /, or about the full
peace time strength before the World
war. The total authorized strength
for this state is 1900. Hence the
recognized strength is SO per cent Of
authorized strength, as compared to
an average for all the states Of 80
per cent. With completion Of the
second regiment of field artillery,
expected early in 1922, the member
ship of the X. N. G. will be well
above 5000.
The total authorized strength Of
the national guard for the entire
United States and possessions Is
222,S77, with 1924 at present
recognized.
Enlistment conditions are now
more liberal than before the war.
The enlistment is for a period Of
three years with one year in the re-
serve, subject to call, as compared
with three years in the reserve be-
fore the war. Men hOnorably dis
charged from the army afte not less
than six months service may enlist In
the national guard for period Of one
year, and re- enlist for like periods,
without further obligation. Ages for
enlistment are from Is to As years.

SHED LIGHT ON OLD TIMES.
Interesting Official Documents Recent
Iy Found in the State House
at Philadelphia.

lncrusted with dust, yellow with
age, some nibbled by mice, real
treasure trove of documents has been
discovered by workmen restoring the
old state house, the last of the group
of Independence hall buildings to re-
ceive the clty's attention, says press
dispatch from Philadelphia. The build
ing was the seat of the city govern
ment until 1853.
one of the official papers relates
that Robert Wharton, once mayor of
Philadelphia. addressing the select
council on December 10, 1914. de
plored the increase of "tippling
houses" especially those that sold
ardent spirits" To minors in one and
two cent quantities. Another record
showed that as late as May 8, 1916,
a resident of that city paid $3.50 as
tax for being allowed TO carry a
watch.
In the "tippling house" address OF
Mayor Wharton he called the old-time
saloons vile sinks"
&NtAAt~ ANASCS NtSV NSthiO AZ ANA a''N
attack. He declared that many such
houses were being operated In the
city opeSly for the destruction of the
unwary. and lamented that there
were no laws against them. A refer
ence 10 fine of 10 shilling for the
unlawful discharge OF firearms was
mentioned by Mayor Wharton.
He criticized the filthy condition of
certain footways" and recommended
fixing the pavements on many city
streets.
A police flyer was also found near
where the old rogues' gallery used to
be, and in those days this was an
actual gallery around the police court
The flyer was dated about the middle
of the last century, and with 1t were
photographs of a prominent New York
merchant and society man who had
run away with another mans wife
The names might surprise their de-
scendants, now numbered among New
York's -four hundred"
The documents date from ITO to
1858, the majority belonging to the
years of the last decade Of the Eight
eenth century and the first two dec

TOOLS NAMED FOR ANIMALS
Not Always Easy to Trace the Con.
nection, Though Sometimes 1t 10
Plainly Apparent.

There are quite a number OF tools
which are named after animals, and 1t
is interesting TO find out the connection
between the instrument and the animal
after which it IS named. In some cases
the connection of ideas is evident and
il IS obvious why the tool is so named,
observes a writer in London Answers.
The monkey wrench" for instance,
which is spanner with a movable
Jaw, capable Of adjustment, can, Dy
little stretch OF imagination, be
thouuht TO possess some likeness To a
monkeys profile and, true, it deals
with nuts"
The donkey engine" which is ca
pable of lifting great weights, may DE
considered similar in disposition 10
the animal noted for its stubbornness
and strength. We can see how the
mechanical "crane" got It's name. IN

is obvious why a spiral instrument or
iron screw is called a "worm." Also
we can all see why the large iron
poker which, being made red hot IS
used for lighting fires, is called q
"Salamander."
II is not easy, however, to see the
| connection between a crab-a nat
