SOLDIER SEEKS EGGS,
GETS KEYS TO T0a n

New York, Dec. lit was not Con.
eral Allenby, but an egg hunting
British army cook who wrested Jeru-
salem from the Turks in 1917 or such
at least was the inside story re-
lated here tonight by Major Vivian
Gilbert of London, in an address.
Major Gilbert. who vas a member
| of the Allenby expedition, said the in
cident came about as follows: "Jeru-
! salem was evacuated by the Turks on
the night of December s, 1917. We
discovered this the next morning when
a stupid orderly who had been sent
his way. He had gone in the opposite
direction and returned to report In
great perplexity that a cove surround
ed by a crowd had given him some
keys and made him a speech when
he asked for eggs.
1t turned out, the major said that
the mayor-cove was the mayor OF
Jerusalem who had surrendered by
handing over the keys OF the city TO
the first British soiofer he saw. As
he turned out he continued. the cere-
mony proved to have been good prac-
tice for the mayor as this dignitary
was forced to repeat the process three
/ times.
"Brigadier Watson was informed. he
said,' land formally accepted the keys.
But the division general decided he
was the fit person to capture Jeru-
salem and ordered Watson to return
the keys"
Some iIours later the general accom-
panied by a gorgeous rctinue accept
ed the keys for the third time.
But when the division general sent
a telegram to General Allenby the lat
| ter replied that he. would take the
city and he did so two days later.
The poor mayor died two weeks
lafterward..

The American Red Cross, Colorado
Disaster Relief, has spent for relief
purposes $3s7.257.7o in its relief work
in the entire devastated area of the
Arkansas Valley. and of this sum of
money 1856 $4,000 has been spent in Pu-
eblo alone. 1t is to be noted that the
total receipts to date amount to $491,-
242.11, of which $341 699.4S has been
raised thru Red Cross cha piers, and by
donations from national headquarters
of the American Red Cross: total of
69A per cent Of the entire receipts.

propriated for building and REPAIRS

of a special fund provided by the
American National Red Cross This
means that every penny. donated for
flood relief work will be spent for the
purpose for which it was given without
any deductions of any kind whatso-
ever.
Business men of Pueblo will be inter-
ested to know that practically the en-
tire 1856. 96000 spent for reha bilitation
in Pueblo has been spent right in the

does not contract for wholesale or
special low prices, but it pays the mer-
chants the prices which they ask,
providing there is no profiteering
Financial statement below shows that
only s4,s27.ss has been given In actual
cash In its disaster relief work. The
American Red Cross believes that 1t
Is much better to give beneficiaries
actual needed articles rather than
cash There are a few cases however
where 1t seems best to give the cash.
Each beneficiary after being notified
of the award granted him, is allowed
to choose his own merchant and his
own merchandise. In this way the
self-respect Of the flood sufferer is
maintained. He can purchase what
ever he wants within reason, at any
store that he wishes, and this frees the
American Red Cross from any pos
sible criticism of trade collusions with
merchants. Only where the flood suf-
ferer Is deemed not to be thoroly re-
sponsible does the Red Cross assume
any jurisdiction In the matter of pur-
chasing articles.

Pioneers Prairie Bunk.

The necessity Of finding a more con-
venient and comfortable place than
the ground upon which to sleep pro-
duced the "prairie bunk" This one
legged bedstead, now q piece of furni-
ture of the past, was improvised by
the pioneer in a unique manner A
forked stake was driven into the
ground at a proper distance from the
corner of the oom and upon it poles,
usually of hickory, were laid reaching
from each wall. These poles, where
they touched the walls. rested in the
openings between the logs or were
driven into auger holes. Upon these
poles Stats of clapboard were placed,
or linden bark a interviewer from
pole to pole. Sometimes an old-fash-
Toned cord bed" was made by using
Eastwood bark for the cord. On. this
framework the housewife spread her
straw tick or piled the luxurious
mound of her homemade feather bed.
Such a sleeping place was usually
known as a prairie bedstead," but
sometimes it was called a prairie
rascal."-Mildred ]. Sharp. in the Pal

"The most deplorable sight of all
the miseries in Poland is the condi-

"Infant mortality is exceedingly high
because of under-nourishment and the
high percentage Of contagious diseases.
In large part mothers must resort to
artificial feeding as they are unable to
nurse their children. In many cities
I saw underfed children, suffering with

in Police court in Washington when
he sent Hilleary Smith, a longshore-
mar of 800, Warren street, Brooklyn,
to Jail for six months and fined him
$35 on charges of carrying concealed
weapons, drunkenness and disorderly
conduct.
Smith, the police said, was the most
