RED TAPE

Ted TAPE was once the means Of

adays red tape is the means Of tying
up most anything from guusfloes to
governments. Red tape may draw
line against the errors OF siipsnod
workers. More often, however, It fet'
tiers efficiency and makes g hangmans
moose for action.
Once in the feet there was cap
tain who desired an especially conVe-
ntsnt form Of waste basket. He had II
made on requtsition by the navy yard.
Unfortunately Jus: as 1t arrived aooatd
he was ordered to another ship. IN the
confusion Of departure the waste oas-

At the end Of the quarter the cap
tain's yeoman (cIerk) made an invoice

O. <. but the basket. 1t was missing
and It could not be "expended' be-
cause It was an item Of some value
and rather new.
A letter of inquiry was sent to the
| old ship stating the case and request
ing that the article be forwarded. Al
ter some weeks the letter was return
ed with several sheets Of endorse
ments attached. It turned ont that the
! navigator had taken the basket WITH
him when be went to cOmnand a IA

The navigator respectfully stated

basket with it. Whereupoh & survey

These papers including si1 endorse

not fully understood. 1t was endorsed
a few times more and boosted on Il

LIGHT ON ANCIENT HISTORY
Some Interesting Data Bearing on tho
Strange People Known TO Fame
as the "kefs."

Evidently some one who had eaten
a great deal Of army corned beef in
Europe wrote this amusing skit in the
"Watch on the Rhine remarks the
Youths Companion. The piece is
headed. "DOcuments Published in the
Year 2473 A. D., by an American His
tOrian':
l have just been journeying along
the Rhine gathering data on the an
clent tribe of men known as the Acts.
The origin of this strange people is
one of the great mysteries of history,
Likewise their sudden extinction has
been Just as battling.
Tile AefS appeared in western Eu-
rope very suddenly about the time of
the lightning of the Teutonic dark
ages the latter part of the second
decade of thy Twentieth century. For
short period they flooded in great
numbers the entire territory of Gaul
from The Pyrenees To the Rhine. Then
they suddenly vanished.
1t was recently thought that a clue
had been found to the kind of food
eaten by these nOmads. In an old
cellar in Andernach there were found
what at first looked like peculiarly
shaped bricks but what later proved
TO be cans of a strange sort of meat.
Certain investigators soon decided that
this could be nothing other than ele-
phant meat. and students were about
to make trips to Africa in search OF
further evidence. when the result OF
some chemical tests was published.
This showed that the meat was at
least 1907 years old, if not very much
older: and IS the AefS were in Gaul
about $50 years ago, 1t is folly to be-
lieve that this store Of food belonged
to them. 1t is much more probable
that 1t was left there at the time Han
nibal and his soldiers and elephant
supply trains made their long expedi-
ton against Rome.
1t is probably good thing for Amer
lea that the mysterious disappearance
of the Acts came about, for there Is
plenty of evidence that this barbaric
race was planning to migrate to North
America and establish itself on that
continent permanently.
