Porpoise a Fast Swimmer.

There is another mammal that is SO
fast no one has ever been able to ind
out how last he is. This is the pOr-
poise. The porpoise can do stunts in
front of the fastest boat hat travels
the bounding wave and when he is
through after several hours nf clown
ing he fiirts his tail and noncbalantly
speeds beyond the horizon. The p0r-
poise will do his tricks under the bow
of nine-knOt cargo tramp or a 22-
knot ocean greyhound. He is like the
antelope in that he sets his pace ac-
cording to the speed of the pursuer.

X YHEN the ground is wet,
NV and your job means lots
" " of walking, what psort~of
footwear do you putaaon? Ordinary
leather. shoes get soaked and caked
with mud in no time.
For such work you need the light
weight comfort of shoe combined
with the protection of boot. And
here at last is a shoe that gives you
this combination-the u. S. BOotee.
It's a watertight rubber shoe-de-
signed originally for miners, and now
becoming popular with farmers every
where.
Solid comfort all the time-that's
what the y. S. Bootee means for you.
1t fits smoothly over. your sock like
an ordinary shoe. It. gives you per
feet freedom of movement, yet in the
wettest weather-over the muddiest
ground-it keeps your feet abso-
lutely dry.

Has Three Specimens
Of Md. Money Of
80 Years Ago

FREDERICK, Md, June 49,
That paper money was issued by
Frederick county towns 80 years
ago is shown by the fact that John
A. Horner, Emmitsburg, deputy
register of wills, has in his posses
sion three specimens of currency
issued by the corporation Of EN-
mitsburg in 1S40.
The notes are for sums Of money
of less than 81. One, dated April
5, 1910, is for 25 cents; another,
dated April 25. 1840, is for 6k
cents, and the third, bearing the
date of April 2S, 1S4o, is for so
cents.
The notes are the size and shape
of a present-day 81 bill. They
were all issued by authority of the
corporation of Emmitsburg and
signed by Joseph Dsnner, assist
ant clerk.
The note for 6k cents bears the
picture of George Washington and
a wagon train. Both the other
notes have pictures suggesting
agriculture and small town life.

RESERVE.
OFFICERS co TO
" CAMP AUGUST 10
Must Pay Travel and Ration
Cost on Way to Maryland
for Training.

The thousands of reserve officers
OF the District, Maryland. Virginia
and West Virginia have been invited
by the War Department to a ten-day
training period at Camp Meade, Nd,
from August is to "a.
Before the war II was the custom
to have the reserve officers in train
ing for two weeks each year, but be-
cause of the vast number OF expert.
enced leaders available this year II
was decided this would not be peces-
sary. The result was that Congress
made no special appropriation fer the
Officers Reserve Corps, so all attend
ing this particular camp will have to
pay travelling and ration cost. which
will amount to about S13. All other
expenses will be met by the Govern
ment. .... y...
While held at the same time the
officers camp will have no connection
with the civilian military training
camp as the instructions for the ofril
GERS will be along different lines
While there will be drilling and other
military maneuvers most of the work
will be special instructions for Off
GERS, whether OF the line or staff
There are about 5000 reserve offi-
GERS in the area which includes the
District and three states, and the ad-
jutant general expects a large pro-
portion OF these to avail themselves OF
the opportunity to obtain training at
little expense.

ers considered themselves quite
daring when they appeared at
local beaches with stockings
rolled down to their knees, and
when they rolled them down far
enough TO show the dimples on
said knees and didn't get
"pinched" they thought they were

Then when the really courageous
mermaids continued the rolling

were-o-o-h, so daring!
Now comes the announcement
that there is no rule and has not
been a regulation compelling the

In other words, the mythical

gre murder against TNlman Jenkins,
a Baltimore negro, for the staying OF

The seven men taken from tho train
on which the officer was shot were
before the inquest Three of the men
were companions OF Jenkins in O

sought by the police. Jenkins had a
revolver OF the caliber of the bullet
found in the skull of Barnard. 1t

ties. Six other men taken from the
train will be used as material wilt
nesses.
