We Demand More "Weeks.


We do not believe there are
enough weeks" Every now and
then a week goes by without any
special Significance. People can
not find enough places to spend
their money; they can't find enough
coin boxes. plates. kettles and hats
to drop this money in. Therefore
let us have more weeks" and we
would suggest the following:
Pug Dog week
Permanent Wave week.
Why-Wear- Corsets week.
Smart Set Sufferers week.
Mousetrsp Inventors week.
One Arm Restaurant week.
Bedbug Extermination week.
Remember-the-G G GoldfisN week
Help-t the -Aquarium-F Fish week.
Pity the Poor Stenographers
week.
There is at present not a breach
of promise case in the British
courts, but IL they are longing for
a few we can send them over enough
to keep them busy for thirty years.
Inasmuch as every story that
comes out of Russia Is different
from all the others, We have de-
cided to sit patiently and wait for
later returns.
In Other Days.
They nod and pass; in other days
1t was not so;
But now they go their separate
ways,
AS strangers 60.
Once glory ran before their feet
Along the grass,
And rainbows round them seemed

Ger seas OF glass;
And morning sang mid fire and dew.
While toward the skies
Spiraled in the unmeasured blue

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Widely conflicting views regarding the di- rection of the American navy during the early months of the war were detailed in Republican and Demo- cratic reports mdue public Monday by the senate naval committee in vcstigating the controversies between former Secretary Daniels and Ad- miral Sims. A majority of the Re publican report severely scores Dan iels, former President Wilson, and Admiral Benson. former chief of operations and comments Admiral Sims. while the Democratic minority report praises Daniels, Wilson and Benson and assails Sims. Referring to Admiral Sims principal charge that administrative delays were es- timated to have cost 500000 lives and SI5,0O0 0O0,0OO and which were un. necessary. tho majority reports sus- tained the charge by declaring the allied victory would have come earlier, while the minority report declares the charges were monstrous and without foundation.

PENNSYLVANIA PENITENTIARY
 HAS BIG BLAZE
CBy Associated Press)

PITTSBURG. July 19,-Fire and riot alarms were turned into the po lice and fire departments from the western penitentiary shortly after noon yesterday The first reports were that the prisoners had revolted and fired the buildings. Nine fire companies responded to the alarm and police reserves were hurried to the scene. AS all telephone com munication is shut off. just how much damage was done cannot be learned.
 A cordon of police was immediately thrown about the prison from which great volumes of smoke arose. The penitentiary contains between 1900 and 1,50O prisoners.
 A peep through the prison gates revealed a party of Pittsburg detec- tives with drawn revolvers facing the great crowd of prisoners who ap- peared to be in great terror of the flames. Many prisoners shattered glass windows and called for help as the fire crept along the cells. Persons on the streets distinctly heard the shrieks and groans of the imprisoned men and 1t is reported that several of them were badly hurt
