VOCATIONAL TRAINING
CALLED "A FARCE
Arrangement of Work at Camp Sher-
man is Made by Investigators
in Washington.

Cincinnati, Educational training
at Camp Sherman, Chillocothe, Ohio,
is farce and fraud" Judge R. s.
Marx of this city, national commander
of the Disabled American Veterans of
the World War, said in report pre-
scented in Washington today to Mar
tin B. Madden, chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations of the House
of Representatives.
"The school rooms have been made
over in a make-shift fashion, says
Marx IN the report. "In the electrical
school which has an enrolment of
eighty there were only thirty-seven
men actually present and Of this num-
Der only two were doing anything"
The equipment, he said, was such
as could be picked up around any
abandoned camp.
Not single student was in the
plumbing school, according to Marx.
There was q dearth of equipment here
as also was the case in the bakery,
he declared.
at looked like real work was being
done in the tailoring school," the re-
port said. "There were only two or
three men who seemed to be idle and
it appeared that instruction was be-
ing given"
The shoe repairing school, the report
said, was the busiest in the camp.
Eve did not find single student
who expressed satisfaction with the
methods of teaching or with the
courses of instruction" Judge Marx
said, "Many Of the students wanted
to go home but we're afraid to ask,
fearing they would be dropped from
training entirely and thus lose the
chance for rehabilitation

conducted by the Industrial Commits
sion and the Railroad Commission at
Madison, February l and q, the In

Alaska's EskimOs
Have Changed Much

Chicago.-Alaska's Eskimos have
changed greatly in the last twenty-five
years, since the white man interested
in their welfare came among them, ac-
cording to Bishop Peter 7. Rowe,
Episcopal bishop of Alaska, who has
been an eyewitness of their develop
ment.
when first visited the Eskimos Of
Alaska they ate their meat raw and
seemed to have little object in life
beyond eating" Bishop Rowe said
here.
To-day they are cooking their food,
they are beginning to use stoves, their
igloos are much bigger and cleaner,
the children that have grown up in the
meantime are bigger and brighter, and
their interests are much larger"
The Eskimos did what they could to
help America in the war by sending
down feathers for pillows, Bishop
Rowe reported. "They killed ducks,
geese and swans" he said, sand col
lected considerable amount of feath-
ers. A number of young men came to
me. to say that if the United States
needed them to fight they were ready
to CO."
Educational work among the Eskimos
is conducted by the U. S. Bureau of
Education and the Episcopal church.
One young Eskimo is now teaching.
Another developed such skill in wood
carving, Bishop Rowe reported. that he
was offered fine position in New York
by firm that saw specimens of his
work.
The Eskimos are developing a stury
character, he added. When warned
against having anything to do with the
bootlegger, he said, they steadily leave
him alone.

MOOnshiners at War
in North Carolina
(By United Press,

hlnston, N. C.-War has broken out
among the moonshiners, according to
Arden W. Taylor, sheriff of Lenoir
county. AS result the factions and
individuals engaged are playing into
the hands of the authorities in their eff
forts to get one another into trouble.
1t has been bloodless war so far,
but If it should continue gun-play
may be INDUCED in. That is what the
sheriff's Office is fearful of.
Wholesale thefts of moonshine stills
started the trouble. Some moonshin-
ers stole plants from other moon
sinners. 1t is assumed that the thieves
thought the losers would infer that
raiding posses had taken away the
stills. The famous underground intel
ligence system of the SINNERS" aided
the losers to relocate the stolen an
paratus, however, and then the "grape
vine telegraph" was connected I'D with
the sheriff's office here. Ananymous
messages brought accurate descrip-
tons of stills and their locations. So
far the federal and local authorities
acting upon such information have
taken four modern and handsome
plants with capacities aggregating $40
gallons. An unstated number of al
legged operators are to be indicted in
the United States district court.
Did if any man can steal my
property like that and get away with
it. said postscript to one slip" from
an, unidentified informant. The intel
ligence in this case resulted in the
raiding of 100-gallon outfit.

AGED PRIEST IS
CALLEDBY DEATH
The Rev. Father Gardt-
haus Dies at st. Gather
ines Hospital.
PASTOR AT PARIS
(From Saturdays Daily

Death claimed a pioneer priest Of
Kenosha county on Friday evening
when the Rev. Father August Gardt-
haus, many years ago pastor of the
st. Johns church in Paris township,
died at the st GATHERINGS, hospital as
a result of general debility due to his
advancing years. He was S3 years of
age, having for many years been re-
tired from the active priesthood of the
church. He had been critically i'll for
several weeks and for this reason death
had not been unexpected.
The Rev Father Gardthaus was born
in Germany in 1885, He was educated
for the priesthood in his native land,
coming to America after serving a par
ish there for many years.
Pastor at St. Johns.
More than score of years ago,
Father Gardthaus was assigned as pas
tor of the st. Johns church in Paris
township n Kenosha county. He was
one of the most beloved priests of that
congregation, serving there until his
advancing years forced him to retire
from the active work of the church.
Since that time he has made his
home at various cities, for the past
few years having been at the Domini-
can Sisters Home for the Aged in Ke-
nosha. In this city he had made many
friends and was known for his kindly
disposition. His death comes as a real
sorrow to those who had known him
best.
Had Brother in Germany.
The deceased had told friends in Ke-
nosha of a brother in Germany, but
because he had not heard from him for
several years, had believed that he was
dead. He had no other relatives.
The remains were taken to the
Mischler chapel on Park street where
they were prepared for burial. The
solemn requiem high mass in which a
number of priests will officiate, will be
held on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
at the st. George church with nterment
following in the St. George cemetery.

Jorgenson and the police, Torson, who
had waited waited in the hotel, rushed
to the drug store for an antidote. He
returned with grain alcohol and assist
ed DR.. Jorgenson to apply restoratives
but it was too late. The victim was re-
moved to the Kenosha hospital where
she died at one o'clock.
1t was learned that after returning
from her survey of the lake, which she
had doubtless contemplated with sui
cidal thoughts, the stranger had en-
tered another drug store and secured
an ounce of carbolic acid. She asked
for it on the pretext of needing it to
kill vermin, and gave her name as
Louise Stanley" naming another To-
cal hotel, not the Kenosha, as her
place of residence.
From among the victims effects
were found papers identifying her as
Mary Thomas, of Rogers Park, Ill.
Whatever desperate impulse or illness
drove the woman to her rash act, it
is thought that it was not restitution,
as money was found on her person as
well as bank book showing some saw
ings.
Police officials connected with Rog-
ers Park and learned that she had been
a domestic there in the Wright fam
lily for two and half years, and that
she had left last night, after the fam
lily sought to induce her to go to the
theatre. A number of bills were found
in her bag, all marked paid. Other
papers showed that she had been at the
Swedish Covenant hospital during the
month of August, 1921. A crucifx and
a pair of rosary beads were also found
among the effects.
Coroner Truman T. Parker held an
inquest into the causes Of the woman's
death, starting this morning and con-
tinuing it at three o'clock this after
noon. Persons who reached the side
of the woman just after she had taken
the poison were called including DR.. II.
R. Phillips, Chicago physician, who
has been spending vacation in Ke-
nosha and who happenedto be near at
the time that the woman was found.
All evidence introduced thus far in
dictates that the woman committed sui
eide because Of Ill health.

County Supervisor
Figures in Rescue

Supervisor Peter Sorrensen played a
hero role on Sunday evening just after
seven o'clock when he rescued two
lads aged about twelve and fifteen
years from drowning. The boys, who
after the episode ran away so fright
ened that they neglected to even tell
their names, were chasing ducks near
the pumping station where Sorrensen
is employed. They stepped out into
the water before they realized it and
began calling for help.
Sorrensen hearing them ran to their
assistance and aided in pulling both
of them out of their icy bath.

A homemade gummed paper dress form for every woman in the State who wants one is the goal set by local leaders in ex- tension work in Washington State, according to reports re- ceived by the United States De- partment of Agriculture.

As a result 2,213 dress forms are reported as having been made by farm women ia Washington State in six months ending June l, 1922.

V;olaters of Livestock Laws Must Pay Fines.

dy AACos
 For violation of regulatory laws relating to live stock and meat fines were recently inn posed in 43 cases, as announced by the Bureau of Animal Indus try in it's Service and Regula- tory Announcements for July. The list of violators includes railway and express companies, meat dealers, and livestock owners. Most of the viola tions were of the quarantine law which restricts the inter state shipment of diseased, ticky, or uninspected stock. Several livestock owners en- countered the Federal law when attempting to drive or ship tuberculous cattle inter state.
 Violations of the meat in spection law included the offer ing of unsound meat, shipping uninspected meat and lard, and in one case, using a wrapper bearing the meat-inspection legend for wrapping uninspec- ted meat. The majority of fines range from $25 to $2OO. Although the Federal laws and regulations relating to live stock are for the most part we'll understood and complied with, persons unfamiliar with the regulations and with the inn portance of preventing inter state shipment of diseased ami mals and unsound meats may obtain copies of regulations by applying to the department.

The service last Sunday evening at Clifton was one of the encouraging ones of the year, eight new members were received by profession and let ter. We are glad to give the wei coming hand to those who come out on the Masters side.
 The young folks social at the Clifton church Friday evening was a very happy occasion. The preacher came out of it rather the worse for so much young life.
 The Ladies' share of the Bazaar was rather better than $100 clear. They surely deserve the admiration of all.
 The Morenci Ladies' had their food sale Tuesday and did rushing business but we have not learned the profits
 Prof. McMorris is the newly select ed superintendent of the Sunday school here and we very much ap- preciate his large plans.

The Morenci High School Basket Ball season will open 4Friday night December Sth at 7:45 P M with game against the Duncan High School. Since this is the first game of the season and probably the only regular game to be played in Morenci before Christmas, it is expected that a large crowd will attend
 The prospects at the present time are very bright for the Morenci Team. Six out of last years first squad of eight have returned. Those who came back are: Philip Gualdoni, Captain, Stanton Mitri James Me DougaL Paul Arguila, Leonard Cur now, and Kelley Byron. This means that the team is practically the same team that finished the season last year. In addition to these men, toned. Ellwood Johnson who form erly played with the Palmyre New Jersey High School is showing up well. Jchn Bosetta is also making good showing. The chances are that both of these boys will make the squad
 Every member of the team is in excellent shape for the game Friday night. They will appear in new suits which are orange colored with black stripes. If the team continues to show up as we'll as they have in the practice games. there is no doubt that the game Friday night will be an interesting one

HEAVY CHRISTMAS
 MAIL IS PREDICTED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Postof- flee officials are expecting a heavy business at the Christmas period this year, possibly heavier than ever be- fore. Mail was flowing heavily as early as Nov. 1, it was pointed out, and when the rush starts so early it is taken as a sign of a big rush of holiday mail.
 The department began in October the usual preparations for the holi- day increase and by/Dec. 1 the en- tire service will be ready. Officials see that "mail carly campaigns are having their effect on the mailing public, resulting in the unprecedent- ed early start of Christmas business
 It is estimated that the increase in postal receipts during December over a normal month is $S,00O,000. About $1, 100000 is spent for extra space on trains to transport the mails, the motor vehicle service spends approXi- mately $500,000 above it's regular service, and another S1,000,000 goes for additional clerk hire in the var Ous pOstOffices to sort mail.
 Another item Is S250.000 for addi- tional carriers. Added to these items
