He gazed at her faultless, satin
shod feet, then his eye Travelled up
ward a little-there was a bit too much
shapely silken leg visible, he leaned
forward and pulled down her flmy
negligee. Not that he minded, him
self, but he thought of the others who
might see her.
She did not rebuke him; she even
continued to smile as he put his hand
on her bare shoulder and intimately
adjusted the ribbon strap.
Then he stepped back, and, head on
side, looked at her with satisfaction,
and crossing the big show window, he
called into the depths of the store :;

AFRICAN TRIALS BY ORDEAL
As in the Middle Ages, the Accused
Has Little Chance Of Proving
His innocence.

In one part of Africa a native who
has fallen foul of the law can OILY
prove himself innocent by swimming
through pool infested with croco-
dies. If he gets through safefy-al-
most an impossible feat-7he is a free
man.
Not so dangerous, but exceedingly
unpleasant, is the "ordeal by pepper"
The accused is given a pipe-7says
Dugald Campbell, in his book entitled
I'm the Heart of Bantuland" -and this
is filled to the top of the bowl with
a mixture of tobacco, red pepper, and
one or two lesser ingredients. The
offender has to smoke this peppery
mixture until all the tobacco is smoked
to dust. Should he be forced to spit
he is considered guilty.
Mr.. Campbens book is full of an
terest. He tells us that dolls, in Ban
tuland, are made from corncobs. Clay
is used for the neads, and beads for
the eyes and teeth.
Should a child die, the doll is hand
ed to a sister, but if there is no sis
ter the doll is buried with all cere-
mony in grave beside that of the.
dead child.

Compact Lantern.

Measuring but six by five ana one
half inches, an electric lamp has been
placed on the market and is available
Cor general use. The case is made Of
heavy metal thoroughly nickel-plated.
A standard low-yoltage tungsten lamp
is used, well protected by wire guard
A bail serves rs handle, and the hook
on it permits it TO be hung on a rod
nail or hook. The bail can be rotated,
so that the lantern may be turned to
any angle desired and carried upward
downward or sideways.
With the dry battery used in this
lamp it will give about 20 hours cons
tinuous service and about 40 hours in
termittent service.--Washlngto Star.

WoRRLERs. WIeaLERs ANp sIoH.

Ny Dear Buck:
They are with us by the hundreds
and even thousands, the various
shaped wooden plugs, painted in every
color in the deck and then few ex-
ira cubist daubs thrown in for luck.
And here's the funny part, old chap,
they all seem to get the fish, more or
less, according to the expertness OF
the manipulation of the rod.
Although the majority of the arti.
fcial bats do not resemble any nat
ural bait, that is, not that you could
notice without first having read their
pedigrees, through some inexplainable
reason the fish strike them, and, as
they generally have hooks galore, even
the beginner has no difficulty in hook.
ing his fish, fact is, many times the
fish hooks itself. or course you'll have
to jot this down in your dream-book
"Hookin' EN- doesn't always mean
landin' en-"
What Makes EN- DO II?
Probably when a highly cultured
bass sees one of these gloriously dec
Grated affairs splash in his home
grounds he up and makes dash at it
in anger at the rough-neck intrusion
of the queer-looking object, or pey.
haps strikes it in pure cussedness,
egged on by the wonderful movements
Of the little demon in its wobble back
home to the caster.
How they ever dug the big bunch
out of the woodpile and got away with
it is the eighth wonder Of the world
More power to EN- What would a
fellow do if he couldn't browse around
among bunch of new ones and select
a few to take along on each trip and
try them out on the unsuspecting fish.
You Never Can Tell.
You never know what you can do
with one of these dippy, diving, wob.
bling wonders till you try it and then
all the advance dope and traditions of
that particular bait may go to smash
in one afternoons fishing and new vic.
tories in an entirely different line OF
fishing be pegged up to its credit.
To illustrate this point, old man, at
the opening of the season took a
flyer at bass. 1t had been cold and
rainy, with high waters, and the bass
were quiet and far-offish My tackle
box was decked out with a collection
Of lures guaranteed to make any bass
nervous, jealous or fighting mad The
bass sure were off their feed, both in
color and shape. Nothing seemed to
coax them out of the wet l snapped
on a South Bend Bass-ereno bait, all
white with red head, and tried that
as an enticer. Nothing doing with the
bass, but / had as nice a piece of
wall-eyed pike fishing as fellow could
find anywhere. Almost every cast
brought a strike, and in the after
moons casting this little old bass lure
hooked 80 wall-eyed pike, all of which
were thrown back in the drink except
the larger ones and that left stringer
with the limit and none below two
pounds, topped with six and half
FOUNDER. My fishing pal and guide
had the same luck with white Wilson
Wobbler with red flutes, by which he
swears like pagan. They were sure
off the bass but on the pike.

The coIors They Like.

AS to color, the preference seems to
be with white body and red head, fol
lowed by all red, all yellow, green back
with white belly and rainbow, but
what they take one daymay be passed
without a squirt the next, However,
with the above colors in your tackle
outfit you probably can please them
any day.
The luminous-painted plug, which, If
exposed to daylight or artificial light,
glows like the dampened head Of
match, makes an excellent bait for af-
ter shutdown or moonlight casting.
The fact that these bats float when
in the water and not in motion makes
them an ideal lure for the beginner,
especially when he puts in a session
with little old back lash. He knows
his bait is floating instead Of snag-
ging, which was the habit Of the
daddy" of this kind of plug, the old
underwater sinker that found more
snags and hook holds than fellow
thought could exist in well regulated
fishing waters.
Lures That Make EN- Strike.
For a selection of lively artifcials.
the Jamison Coaxer, which is a cross
between a chunk of pork and hum
ming bird, makes good one to start
with; the Heddon's Baby Crab Wig.
gler gives all the moves Of a crawfsh
going home to its mother and that
sure is pie for the bass. The Wilson
Fluted Wobbler, South Bend Bass-ereno
and Rush Tango Minnow, all with
white body and red heads, give you
a bunch of dives, dips and crawls that
is hard to beat.
With these bats IN your tackle box,
and any others that tickle your far y,
you ought to be able to slim one over
on the unsgspsctIng nsh, anu 1t the
same time have lot Of fun watching
them do their dance in the water.

PENNSYLVANIA AUTOMOBILE
THIEF CAPTURED IN OAKLAND
Was MarOoned In Oakland, But Was
Busy as a Sneak Thief Here

Sunday morning about daylight q
Slav, giving his name as John Palsi,
and age as eighteen years, was ar
rested at the Baltimore and Ohio sta.
ton here as a suspicious character
and placed in jail, his arrest having
been brought about when he was seen
in hallway at the Manhattan Hotel
by two of the guests there, who APP
prised the proprietor, Mr.. Charles D.
BOsley, of the strangers presence.
The front door of the hotel was heard
to open and close before the hotel
man could get down the stairway but
shortly afterward Palsi was located
at the station where his arrest fol-
lowed.
The stranger had driven into Oak
land on Tuesday evening, the 10th
inst, few hours before the heavy
snow storm struck this section and as
result he was compelled to remain
here. After his arrest the fact came
out that he was driving Ford coupe
with but one license tag displayed
thereon, this being a Pennsylvania
tag. Upon communicating with the
automobile commissioner of that state
it was learned that this tag had been
issued to DR.. c. R. Yainall, of Cali
fOrnia, Pa. A second telephone mes
sage to California revealed the fact
that DR.. YainalPs car had been stolen
and the description given tailed with
that Of the car in possession of Palsi.
Accordingly, when Palsi was arraign-
ed for a hearing before Justice West
Monday the only charge against him
was for the theft Of the automobile.
Palsi confessed very readily that he
had stolen the car and expressed a
willingness to return to Pennsylvania
and stand trial for the crime. He was
therefore recommitted to the Jail in
Oakland where he viii be held pend
ing the arrival Of the authorities from
the Keystone State.
Palsi also confessed to the Justice
that on the 18th inst. he had entered
the Central Hotel in Oakland and
stolen two pounds Of butter, loaf Of
bread and one or two other articles.

A NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY
Plans are Being Formulated to Or
ganize Such for Garrett County


At meeting held in the offices of
Attorney E. R. Jones in Oakland on
Tuesday evening of this week tenta-
tive plans were made for the organi-
cation of new telephone company
to operate in Garrett county.
A number of the business men Of
Oakland were interested in the mat.
ter and the preliminary plans for the
organization were to some extent
worked out.
If the new company is formed it is,
the intention of those interested to
purchase all of the rights and proper
ties of the old Garrett County Tele-
phone Company which for some time
past has been operated by Mr.. Jones
as receiver, repair and rebuild the
lines and put them in condition to
give proper telephone service and to
extend the system so far as may be
necessary for the purposes of the
new company.
Another meeting of the interested
parties will be held the first Of next
week at which time it is expected that
definite plans for the organization Of
the new company will be entirely
worked out ;

The sum of SIS was also missed from
the Central Hotel, but Palsi declared
he did not steal the money He also
confessed stealing a scarf pin, cuff
links, a safety razor and a shirt from
Charles Echard, who has rooms in the
Empire Theatre flats. These were
all returned to Echard by Palsi.
Palsi had wit hhim two well filled
suitcases of clothing, which included
three brand new suits, a dozen silk
shirts, a new cap, watch chains, stick
pins and other articles.

they are obvious. l might men,

sential to our welfare-in fact,
necessary thereto-would be cut

exorbitant prices for that

A Story of Five Noble
Patriots.

Five Noble Patriots-some Re-
publicans, some Democrats, but all
very rich men-were taken into
the Alien Property Custodian s
office during the war and given
control Of German dye patents
estimated to be worth $10,OOO,0OO.
with these patents our country
may control the dye trade of the
world" they were told. "Devise
a scheme by which they may al
ways be used for the benefit Of all
our people,"
"Sure," said the Five Noble
Patriots. And they proceeded to
organize a corporation, divided the
stock among themselves without
paying a penny for it, borrowed
$5OO,0OO, sold the $1O,OOO,OOO worth
of patents to themselves for
$250,000, took the Alien Property
Custodian into the game, and set
tied down to administer their
"trust."
They expect to pay off their
Indebtedness from the royalties re-
ceived from the patents, and when
that is done they insist they and
their successors-to be named by
themselves, Of course-should be
permitted to control the patents,
and incidentally the worlds dye
trade, indefinitely.
Anyone who questions this pro-
cedure is a traitor to his country,
a Bolshevist and a German sympa-
thizer, according to the Five Noble
Patriots.
This, in brief, is the story of the
Chemical Foundation, sponsored by
former Attorney General Palmer
and former Alien Property Custo-
dian Garvan.
President Harding has demanded
the return of the patents to the
Government. It is to be hoped the
courts will sustain him.
This country has suffered enough
from Noble Patriots who called
themselves "dollar-a-year men"
and cost the public treasury about
a thousand a minute.

Mercy Plus Economy

n IGHT days after the armistice
Italy freed wholesale the per-
- sons it had imprisoned for war
offenses.
France, Belgium and Canada
acted ere the close of the follow
ing year.
For nearly three years the
United States has been the only
country in the war to keep in
prison men and women who had
spoken or written counter to prev
alent war feeling.
They number seventy-six, and
their sentences range from five
years to twenty.
Some are plainly guilty; others
appear to have been railroaded.
The Department Of Justice has
promised to review their cases on
the merits, but only one at time.
This means that the last reached,
though possibly as innocent or as
guilty as the first, will. if par
doned later, serve a disproportion-
ate period.
Why not be merciful as well as
economical, and make a clean

To the Editor:
T READ the other day In

in Senator Reed of Missouri was

than coal. being necessary to

Kipling's "Break"

ARU UGH ado about very little
has been made over Rud-
AV4 yard Kipling's reported re-
marks regarding Americas re-
lation to the recent war and to
present-day Europe.
If Kipling wer1 not wrongly
supposed to be the voice of Eng
lands soul, perhaps but little at
tention would be given to the
utterances of broken-spirited
man moving toward senility.
But not all our sympathy with
this British father, bereaved by
the war precisely as were tens of
thousands of American mothers,
can prevent our taking Mr.. Kip
ling to task for his pathetically
contemplate wall that America
the real America-died in
1861"
Did she, indeedf As we recall
the history of that period, a large
part of England was willing that
America should die in 1860.
We remember that she built
giant ships for the Confederacy
and otherwise encouraged the
Southern secession, in order that
human slavery might be perpetu-
ated and the growing commercial
rivalry of America might be Grip
pied.
Luckily for England, the real
America did not die in 1860 or in
1865. We survived that tragic
civil conflict, and a united nation,
rich and powerful, was able, in
1913, literally to save England s
life.
