called "Chinamen," etc. Crisp states
that he had no weapon of warfare
during his enlistment and there were
some times when he would have felt
moro comfortable if he had had some
kind Of popgun to keep the Boches
away.
The Signal Battalion
TO my thinking there has ever been
an atmosphere Of romance around the
operations of signal battalion. The
installing of wireless telegraph, wire
less phones and other means Of COM
munication is interesting because Of
its mysteriousness. Then there are
the pigeon columbara and the photo
graphic outfits. At Camp Jackson
was large cage or columbarium Of
carrier pigeons that were being trained
for service in France. have been told
that some of these same birds rem
dcred service Of great value on the
front and deserve almost as much
distinction as the gallant boys who
were awarded hcro medals. In fact,
some Of the birds were decorated.
There are times when no other means
Of communication will take the place
Of carrier pigeons.
When the advance OF the signal bat
TALON is away out in front endcavor-
ing to establish communication lines
(and it need not be stated that this is
an enterprise of considerable dangcr) ,
there may come q time when an enemy
shell will break the lines of contact
with the main command in the rear.
Or it may be that the area between
the advance and the main commnd is
filled with deadly gas SO that even the
police dogs could not get through.
There are numerous such contingent
cies which require the services of
carrier pigeons when the observers
at the front have information to re-
port or the unit Of construction men
may need supplies.
How the Birds Work
The pigeons, when released, do not
dive off through the deadly gas fumes,
but according to their nature, circle
upward for quite distance until
their instinct guides them to the
camp which to them IS home. The
message is written upon very light
sheet Of paper which is wrapped
tightly and bound to the shaft OF u
strong feather. This does not impede
the birds flight. The Importance Of
the service OF the carrier pigeons can
not be estimated, for their service was
given at a time when there could have
been no substitute. a carrier pigeon
never failed. Some we're killed Many
Of them were wounded or injured by
the nischanccs of war, but they never
faltered.
Another outfit in the Three Hun
dred and Sixth battalion was the
Photographic unit also trained at
Camp Jackson, and sent over with the
Eighty first division. When Major
Todd came back with his command to
be mustered out of service he related
to friends some interesting eXpcrienc-
es OF this outfit. When the armistice
was signed it was desired that photo
graphs be made Of the area that had
been occupied by the Germans for four
cvacuatc, Major Todd and the photo
sraphcrs would advance, having been
assigned to the First division. They
gathered many remarkable photo
sion Of the government There were
experiences, wiord, uncanny. pathetic
and also thrilling on this excursion
into the devastated territory.

THE BON DISSUES

The elections to be held in this city
next Tuesday are for three separate
bond issues. The total amount to be
voted on will be $125,000, divided as
follows: $4,000 for watcrworks i'm
provcment and extension, understood
to mean principally the construction
OF a modern filtration system which
will eliminate dsagreeable odors, col
ors, tastes and threatened contamina-
tion of the present system; 1000
for sewerage extension, principally in
tended, so it is understood, in the Lau-
rens Mills village; $4,000 for street
Improvement, exact plans for which,
SO far as has yet come out are in
definite.
The City Council has already en-
tered upon contract for engineering
services in connection with the filtra-
tion system contingent upon its con-
struction. retainer fee OF $3.50 was

Kansas City authorities have drawn

have even gone to the length of for
bidding the billboard altogether. as a
nuisance. Whether such a move is
advisable is a mooted question, but
all will concede that regulation of
some sort is necessary. The Kansas
City rules are as follows:
mo waste or other rubbish result
ing from any billboard or outdoor ad-
vertising sign shall be allowed to
accumulate on or In the vicinity OF
the premises where the same Is
located.
Bottoms of all signs shall be at
least three feet from the ground.
''No outdoor advertising shall be
permitted or allowed to be maintained
without an annual license from the
division of highways of the depart
ment of public works."
None of the foregoing rules shall
apply to outdoor advertising which Is
not within public view of highway,
public park or reservation nor to
signs or other devices erected and
maintained In conformity with exist
ing law. advertising or indicating the
person occupying the premises In ques-
ton or the business transacted there
on. or advertising the property Itself
or any mart thereof as for sale or to

poses nv the commonwealth or any
municipalitv thereof
Any CITY or town. bv ordinance or
by law. may wholly exclude outdoor
advertising from snecified districts.
Any license NAV he revoked for
siolation of anv of these regulations
or any provision contained In the
license.
It Is the opinion of the proponents
that a sufficiently large license fee be
required to cover the expense of
proper superintendence of this bus
iness, so that 1t will not be necessary
to license great numbers of these de
vices, in order to obtain sufficient
revenue to cover the proper expense
of adequate supervision.

Garden Cities for London.

London Is trying to work out It's
housing crisis by building little garden
cities about twenty miles outside its
limits. These experiments in whole
sale home construction are being car
ried on by the enterprise of private
capital backed up with the generous
government subdivision that is being
given to all home construction projects.
The profits of the promoting COM
pany will be limited to seven per cent
of the investment, the proceeds over
and above this amount going back into
town improvements.
The ideal house, so much talked of
in England. that resulted from the
Daily Mail competition Will be given n
practical try-out In this new city. The
name of the place when completed will
be Welwyn Garden City.-New York

WHY PROSPERITY HALTs.

The country is waiting with what
patience it possesses, for the long
deferred return OF prosperity. IT
does not seem either to be lowering
| in the offlng or cleaning on the ho-
rizon. except in occasional spots
Why is the return deferred? There
are many different answers to the
question. such as buyers strikes.
high freight rates. tight money -
These, however, seem to be sympt-
ons of some more deepseated illness
that cannot be reached by tariffs or
a reduction of wages
In this connection the words of
Secretary of State Hughes are worth
considering. He recently sent out
formal invitation to great Brita' n,
France, Italy and japan to send del
egates to meet in Washington on
November IL to discuss d1sarma-
ment, and among other things call
ed attention to the fact at"produc-
tive labor is staggering under an un-
productive burden too heavy to be
borne unless the present vast public
expenditures are greatly reduced :"
He then put the whole case for
the consideration of disarmament in
the following sentence:
THE enormous disbursements in
he rivalries of ornaments manifest
ly constitute the greater part of the
.ncumbrance upon enterprise and ne
tional prosperity; and avoidable or
extravagant expense of this nature

Look After the Trees Now.

Industrial communities are prone to
undervalue the products of nature
until 1t is too late A fine tree is the
product Of from 20 to 80 years of
growth. 1t cannot be hurried; nature
will not hasten her steps at mans
the development Of any tree beyond a
certain pace, though money can pro-
vide good conditions for growth. To
save tree, therefore, is TO save some
thing which only a generation or more
can replace.

JUST A MAKESHIFT.

That the American public is in
favor of encouraging the growth
and development of its Merchant
Marine is becoming more evident
daily
That it is not in favor of doing
so at the expense of the taxpayers
lis also evident The feeling Is
that our ships should not be hamp-
cred by legislation and regulation
which places them at disadvantage
with foreign lines. If our ship
Operators are given equal opportun-
Iity with foreigners they will hold
their own. The policy is the sim
plest and most logical one to pur-
sue.
The agitation to grant free tolls
through the Panama Canal is just
another means of trying to remedy
the artificial cost of operation under
which our ships operate, without
removing the cause. There is no
more justification for granting our
ships free tolls through the Canal
than there is for granting our far
mers free irrigation water in govern
ment irrigation projects.
Free toll would simply shift the
burden to the taxpayers instead of
remoing the causes which hamper
our ships.
