rcEED away and rarely ever
noticed in the bulky annual
report of the Secretary of the
i Treasury there always is a list
of heroes. And frequently 1t inciudes
the names Of heroines. The list is never
q very long one. Last years contains
only forty-one names.
Anyone, whether or not in the serv-
ice of the government, il qualified by
an act Of heroism of the kind covered
by it, may be admitted to the list.
which is the only one Of the sort kept
by Uncle Sam.
The list contains the names of those
persons to whom medals are issued
in recognition Of displays Of heroism
in the rescue, or attempted rescue, of
persons from drowning, or in succor-
ing the shipwrecked. Any one display
ing such heroism on the navigable
waters of the United States. or in res
cuing from drowning persons belong
ing to the crews or passengers of an
American vessel anywhere, is entitled
to receive a medal Of recognition from
the United States Treasury Depart
ment.
There are two grades of medals
one Of gold and the other of silver
Medals OF the first class are confined
TO eases Of extreme and heroic dar-
Ing" Those of the second class are
..siyen in cases not sufficiently dis
tineuished to deserve the medal OF
the first class"
\ X y y
oINCE the first act providing for the
> medals was passed, in 1874, more
Than 900 have been conferred. Most
Of them have gone to various per-
sons in the service of the United
States government, chiefly men in the
coast guard and the Navy. Many have
been conferred on members OF the
Army. But a large number have been
given to private individuals and pub
lie employees Of cities, like policemen.
II IS probable that, next to the coast
guard and the Navy, more Treasury
life-savinE medals have been won by
the New York policemen than by any
other class.
But not every one who happens to
save 4 person from drowning can pro-
cure the medal. There must be some

world, from the standpoint of popular
interest, must suffice. The stamp tax
brought on the war. which made the
United States a separate nation, now
grown to be the greatest in the world.
Representative Ackerman has some of
those stamps. The British stamp act
was passed in 1865. Some of those
stamps were sent over to America, and
when it was found that the colonies
would have nothing to do with stamp
ed paper. the revenue stamps were
taken back to England again., They
bore the imprint. America" put on
with die, but over that was stamped
"siS pence" showing that England
did not want to destroy the stamped
paper, but worked it over for use in
Great Britain.
The first adhesive postage stamp
was issued in 1910. But in Italy,
away back in 1919, they had stamped
paper, and Representative Alderman
has both used and unused letter sheets
of that issue, which are intensely in
teresting from the historical stand
point.

IRON the standpoint of interest. the
Alderman collection occupies a
high position among the great stamp
collections of the world, according to
a veteran philatelic expert. This col
lection is much more remarkable for
the scope which it covers. for the
broad lines upon which it has been
made and for the unusual develop

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-For sub

to his majesty the Samoan chief!
Miss Catherine Keppie, pretty Cali

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-The

been barred here by Count Vladimir A.
Baranoff, accredited Semenoff agent
1t is the overthrow of the Bolshevik
government in Russia by a new united
drive under a relative of the dead car,
Count Baranoff says.
Semenoff and other Russian political
Headers will confer in San Francisco,
Washington, New York and other CEN
trail points probably within the next
month.
Semenoff then will continue on to
Europe for meetings that will close
plans for bringing the constitutional
monarchial forces into one gigantic
drive against the Bolsheviki-possibl
within year.
The general will meet in Europe a
relative of the late ear who is to lead
the drive.
This man can not now be named"
says Baranoff. but he is an idol OF
/ the Russian army. The new offensive
will be pressed simultaneously in ST.
IBERIA. where Semenoff will lead; in
South Russia. where Wrangel will at.

"Semanoff, after his European con-
ference, will return to America. He
will be accompanied by Horvath. ex-
governor of Vladivostok; Gondate, one.
time governor of Siberia and other
leaders"
Count Baranoff was appointed spe.

1920.

THIRTY TWO CARS ARE ENTERED IN BIG
RACE AT INDIANAPOLIS MEMORIAL DAY

Thirty-two cars are entered for the
tenth annual 500-mile international
sweepstakes on the Indianapolis motor
speedway May so. The field is the
largest since engines not exceeding
1873 cubic inches piston displacement
became the rule.
OF the winners of the nine past
races on the indianapolis track three
have retired from the sport, one is
dead. and the fifth. Rene Thomas,
was unable to complete his plans to
bring over a French car this year. The
remaining four are entered again.
They are Ralph De Palma. Howard
Wilcox, Tommy Milton and Jules
Goux.
De Palma, who woI in 1915, after
two trials with a Ballot. is now to
drive a Dusenberg Straight-Eight
Wilcox pins his faith to a Peugeot,
with which-he won in 1919. Milton,
the victor a year ago with a Chevro-
let F'rontenac-Eight, has had a car
built in Los Angeles, not yet named.
Goux, Inner in 1913 with a Peugeot,
has entered two Ballots. He will drive
one himself but has not yet picked a
teammate.
Among sother notable entrants are
w. Douglas Hawkes., who will pilot
the first Bentley car ever brought
from England for an American race;
Jimmy Murphy, who won the 1921
French Grand Prix, despite two broken
ribs; Roscoe Sarles, last years Indian
apolis runner-up; Jack Curtner and
Glenn Howard, who will drive the first
flivvers ever entered in the worlds
greatest auto race; l. P. Fetterman,
winner of the stock car races at Union
town, and Eddie Hearne and Ralph
milford. veterans of the first race
ever run over the oEosier speedway,
and, in the case Of Milford, like Will
COX, participant in every contest on
the same track since then.
The cars entered are seven more in
number than year ago, when Milton
came within % of a second Of equal
ing the track average of 1884 miles an
hour, established by De Palma in 1915
with 2 much larger engine. In the
past II months the drivers have man
aged to increase their cars speed and
many predictions are made that this
years winner will set a record.
The prizes aggregate 100000, OF
which the track offers $4,000 in

MILLIONAIRE IS
TILTED I D WE'D
INDECENT COUNT
We're the Wealthiest Persons
on Earth, Says Girl, But
Need Few Hundred

NEW YORK. May 27-"We're the
wealthiest persons in the world-for
we have each other!"
This the defy of the Count and
Countess Itchy to deputy sheriffs who
are trying to collect from the count a
judgement for several hundred dollars
returned against him as the result Of
an automobile accident.
Paying such a judgement wouie
have been soft for George Burton, son
OF the late millionaire brewer whom
the countess Tilted on her wedding day
TO marry the count. But between the
a rich man and a count, harassed by
q judgement for a few hundred dollars
whom she loved with all her heart, the
countess
well, only love matters" say she.
Anyhow, the count could clean up
the judgement in 80 seconds if he had
what's coming to him from his fami-
ly's Hungarian estates. So there!
Their Romance
The Countess was Charlotte Gardin-
er Demarest, who divided her time be-
tween the younger sets of New York,
London and Paris.
IAN nv life dreamed about n real
romance, with a husband as handsome
and chivalrous as knights of old" she
said today. But knighthood seemer
to have gone to seed.
Il met the count after he came to
America in 1920. He had been impris-
oned-for several years in Russian war
camps wasn't much thrilled-at first
But he danced divinely and played ten
mis- like champion, and was just be-
ginning to think a bit of him when /
had to sail abroad"
The count takes up the story.
Il am of the Hungarian nobility
but was reared in England. l was
captured by the Russians during the
war After coming to America

insurance agent and automobile sales
man."
BY day he sold autos under the name
of Edward Wright; but after p. m.
he was Count Itchy.
It was after Miss Demarests. re-
turn from abroad that he read of Aer
coming marriage in the paper. He de-
cided to call on her.

kU kLux kLAN
BAND OF HEROES

That the original Ku Klux Klan
was a band of heroes instead of
outlaws is the point of view assum-
led by d. w. Griffith in planning his
sensational climax to his mighty
spectacle "The Birth of Nation" {"
No feature of the production, not
even the giant battle scenes, is so
wildly applauded as the exciting
night rides of the Southerners on
their errands of vengeance and mer-
cy.
Much light has been thrown in
recent years on the controversy con-
cerning the exact status of the Ku
Kluxers. AS the secrets of their
deeds and especially their motives
come to light, the final verdict of
history leans more and more strong
ly in their favor. 'The Birth of
Nation has been far more po.ent
than any other one factor in set
ting forth the clansmen in their
true light.
The Ku Klux Klan was organized
is a secret and social band in the
state of Tennessee in May, 1866.
The title was taken from the Greek
word 'Klkuos, meaning circle. The
third word Klan, was added by the
who were in a large part
descended from the Scotch who
settled in Virginia. The subsequent
years, when the klans went forth
% put down the desperadoes who
'warmed from the north to grab
everything in sight, the riders adop-
ed the emblem of the fiery cross,
which the Scotch hilanders had long
lsed as call to battle in the early
lays of wars in their native land.
