The most picturesque apimals used In
the war were undoubtedly the camels.
Whether they were strung out in a.
long black frieze against a sunset
sky in Palestine, or lying at dusk
munciiing grain from their feed cloths
on the sand, or speeding in loose
limbed flight across ths desert that
their Arab riders might destroy
Turkish railway train-wherever there
were camels there was a picture. And
they were as useful as they were pic
turesque. 1t Is certain that General
Allenby would have found his campaign
in Palestine much harder even than
it was if it had not been for the grunt-
ing. grumbling "oont." He used forty
thousand camels in his transport alone.
and of these thirty thousand assisted
in his first great attack on the Turks
who were then occupying strongly forti-
fled positions on the line from GAIA to
Beersheba. The nearest railhead was
then from fifteen to twenty-one miles
behind the troops engaged, and all
the food, water, and ammunition had
to be brought up through the DESERT
There were no good roads, and no re-
lance could therefore be placed on
motor transport. The country between
the railroad and the British front was
intersected by wadis. the steep banks
of which were in most places impass-
able for wheeled vehicles. So it was
pack animals chiefly which did the job,
and of these the camels were easily
the most important. The tall, ungain-
ly beasts supplied the troops with wa
ter long before the great pipeline was
laid from Kantara to the battlefield
near Beershcba-one hundred and for
ty-seves miles
Camels have strange psychology
which as yet is little understood. They
are true Orientals. and fatalists as
well, if we may judge by their indif-
ference to their own wounds and the
death of their companions. They have
fasting season which comes in the
winter and during which many Of the
males go ''magnoon." or mad. A mad
camel is very dangerous, for he il apt
to break away from his picket and
run amuck. He will then chase the
first man he sees, and may bite of an
arm or foot. Such an animal 70 us
ually ,muzzled, but he must also be
securely anchored" with several stout
ropes. otherwise he will knock his vic
tim fiat and then lie down on him,
most unpleasant way of infiicting
death. Sometimes he will vary his
athletic exercises by bringing his hind
foot around with semicircular sweep.
and kicking man considerable dis
lance toward the horizon. This mad
ness sometimes lasts for several weeks.

best to live up to Kiplings description OF

BoIshevist Stud Farm

In the Live Stock Journal of London a
correspondent relates the observations of an
English horse trainer recently escaped from
Russia: The Bolshevists went 10 all the
stud farms and divided the stock among
themselves. The best stallion in Russia,
imported just before the war at an enor-
nous expense, was given to peasant, who
took the horse offNto his village in the in
terror to draw his cart for few days and
then be slaughtered for food. The bolshe-
visits then started an improved stud farm
under the nationalist management. They
made il up of six stations and one mare.

Sea Bathing Benefits.

Sea bathing is of great value as well
as pleasure to many people, but it is a
source of danger to the health of 9TH
ers. In sea bathing, physicians have
to consider not only the effect of cold
water. but also that of the warmer air
and the sunlight and the action of the
salt dissolved in the water.

IN THE SOCIAL WORLD
HAVE HARVEST SUPPER
AT ST.. PAUl'S CHURCH

The spirit of Halloween prevail
ed in the decorations at the harvest
supper which occurred last night in
the basement of st. Paul's Evange-
lical church in South First street
under the auspices of the choir. A
huge stack of cornstalks entwined
with orange and black concealed n
corner while streamers of orange
and black swayed from corner to
corner of the ceiling and over all
the sides of the room Jack-o'-lan-
terms strung over the tables added
to the attractive Halloween effect.
All of the members of the choir
assisted in the serving of the sup
per between the hours of 6 and 8
o'clock and over a hundred were
served with the tempting menu
which the Ladies' Aid of the church
had prepared. The net proceeds of
the supper were $4,000 and this will
be put with the organ fund to which
the choir have been adding from
time to time. The women of the So
ciety who assisted the choir in the
kitchen were Mrs. Herman, Mrs.
Philip Herman, Mrs. Edward Gloff.
Mrs. Motz. Mrs. Moser. Mrs. Will
helm and Mrs. Schardt, Sr.
The next event of the choir will
be a fair on November 9 and 10, for
which preparations are all ready I'M
der way. There will be several
booths but particular interest is be-
ing shown in the booth for handker-
chiefs and aprons. Miss Adele VIII

CANDIDATES SPEAK AT
DEMOCRATIC MEETING

About eighty members of the City
Democratic Committee, besides poll
clerks. attended the meeting of the
committee in the Democratic head
quarters in Maple street last night.
The meeting consisted for the most
part in talking over the coming
campaign and hearing from each
Democratic candidate. John White,
who was recently elected chairman
of the committee, during last nights
session turned the chair over 10
Richard j. Calvin, who presided
while the candidates were heard
from. The committee decided %
meet every Monday night during h
campaign and to make arrange
ments for a big public demonstration
during the closing week.
Richard J. Calvin, Democratic
candidate for alderman-at-large, re-
ceived a big demonstration from the
committee members. He informed
the committee that he is now pre-
pairing his platform and will have 1t
ready to within a few days.
Fred DeVoe. the candidate for
senator. made a strong plea Tor the
women to take a special interest IN
the campaign and decide the inter-
ests on their merits. Mr.. DeNoe al
l6SeQ lldl the hCPubA4Ndi
put across the nomination of Larson
for senator despite the protests of
the women in the Republican party
who desired the nomination of either
Appleby or Edgar. Other nomina-
tions were also put owe in the pri-
mary, declared Mr.. DeVoe. In clos
ing he said: 1T is no wonder that
the good ONE of the Republican
party disapprove of such tactics but
/ ask them to bear in mind that we
candidates on the Democratic ticket
stand for good government and the
furtherance of the woman's rights
and solicit their whole hearted sup
port on election day"
Freebooter candidates spoke as
did the candidates for assembly, al
dermen and excise commissioners.

Twenty members, an almost per-
at attendance, were present at the
regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Managers of the Day

the nursery is once more enjoying
the usual daily attendance which 1t
had all of last winter. The largest
number of children present in one
day during the last month was
.wenty while the average attendance
throughout the month was thirteen.
1t was decided to use the money
contributed during the summer by
two groups of little girls for the pur-
pose of giving the nursery children
pleasure, to purchase a set of blocks.
The blocks will be a much appreciat-
ed gift and one which will give the
Riddles lots of pleasure during the
winter months.
The cold winter is fast approach
ing and as the staple supplies or
those articles contributed through
the basket collections are low at the
nursery IL was decided to send out
the baskets early on this coming
Saturday morning for more. The
baskets will travel out Market street
from the Central railroad track,
along Elm, Oak and Prospect streets
and Watson avenue, between Market
and Smit' streets.
The visiting committee for the
month is Mrs. Fritz Abegg and Mrs.
