BILL WILL SEEK
10000 MORE
FOR ARMY.

Revealing the United States
Army has dwindled until it now
ranks but seventeenth in the
world in size, Representative Clark
w. Thompson CDO, of Texas. to
day will introduce legislation in
Congress providing for an increase
Of $4,000 men.
The Army now totals but $4,000
men and 10000 officers. Repre-.
sentative Thompson's bill would
increase it to $4,000 men and
1908 officers.
The increase, vital for national
defense, will not cost the taxpayers
an added dollar, Thompson de-
clared. 1t provides the added re-
cruits shall be secured from volun'
teers now on various Federal EN-.
ployment relief rolls. Officers
would be secured from the Reserve
Corps.
Pointing out the existing force
is inadequate to Insure domestic
tranquility and provide for COM
mon defense" as stipulated in the
Constitution, the Texas Represent
ative asserted the United States
Army now ranks below that Of
Greece.
Thompson indorsed the warn
ing of Maj. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, chief Of staff, that the
Army is now below the danger
line" He asserted the major pro-
visions of his proposed enactment
EN- body recommendations ad-
Vanced by Macarthur himself.
OF the reduced status of the
nations military forces, as COM
pared with the vast area to be
defended, Thompson said:
"Our total army (inClUding
trained reServeS) is smaller
than that of Greece.
"Our entire combat force
could be comfortably seated in
the Yankee Stadium"
Explaining the financial side
Of his proposal, Thompson said:
The question will imme-
diately arise as to the effect
on the budget. 1t need have
none at all.
"The increase can be handled
very readily by diverting the
necessary funds and less than
$4,000 individuals from any of
the emergency relief Organiza-
iOnS now maintained at Gov
ernment expense. The aggre-
gate cost would be less and
the benefits to the individuals
and to the nation would be
greater and more lasting.
I'm order to avoid another
wartime hump in the commits
stoned personnel, the bill pro-
videS that the 1000 new officers
should enter the annual in
crements over q period of five
years. In the meantime, the
Secretary Of War is authorized
to provide the necessary officers
to command the increased per
sOnneI by calling to active duty
reserve officers Of appropriate
grades.
ut is to be presumed that
over the five-year period the
Secretary will call as many diff.
ferent officers as possible and
will choose those whose personal
financial condition most seri.
Ously require employment"

Twenty tourists from New

from injuries and burns by the
keen sense of smell Of a woman
passenger, whose name was
withheld, when the bus caught
fire near Savage, Md, yesterday.
Noting that something under
meath the floor was burning,
the woman walked down the

stopped the bus.

Nature Has Qualified
Butterfly as Chemist

In report to the Smithsonian In
stitution DR.. Austin Il. Clark mar
vels, and with reason, at the curious
adaptability of the cabbage butterfly.
a small chalky insect with white
wings. In Europe the caterpillars
feed on the leaves of cabbages and
closely related plants. Why thesef
Because they contain food Of the
proper chemical composition for the
young, and the young are bred from
eggs laid ON the leaves.
About the middle of the last CEN
tury the cabbage butterfly was
brought to this country. 1t began
to lay eggs not only on cabbage
but also on the leaves of the garden
nasturtium, which originally came
from Central and South America.
How did the butterfly know that the
nasturtium is chemically of the right
composition, although it is not even
remotely related to the cabbage?
The European ancestors of the cab
bage butterfly knew nothing of the
nasturtium for thousands of genera

acknowledgment to herself that II fell
far short of furnishing the human in

were drifting back to the city.

were Charles and Susan Phelps; and
Pam at once told her mother all that

from which Sniff had extricated her.
Susan was the earliest of Smif's Wis
itors the next day.

it back on the table and handed his
pen to Mabeuse.
"Now II you'n read what rye writ.

"I'll write you out an order for the
miniature you're working on and
large portrait of Madame SaitOu as
well. which Is to be done In the style
of another miniature"
This had been no part of their care

"Of course Mabeuse doesn't deserve
any leniency from u.s." Stone ignored
her interruption, and went on sternly:

grandmother. You'll pose for 1t. |

Sniff"
"None whatever" she acknowledged
meekly, ''only heaven knows when I'll
find time to sit"
I'D suggest some of the hours you
waste on Doctor Blanton," Stone said
maliciously, and at once turned to
Mabeuse, who, on the strength of such
an unexpected boon. was beginning to
revive. Brace up, be a man. forget
your criminal past. What you want
now is panache. Go home at once
and act the master of the house as If

They left Mabeuse expanding under
this conception of the part he was to
play and gathering his few belongings
together preparatory to going home.

asked, as they walked away from the
house.
Nothing about her." Smif said posi-.
lively. "Her claws are clipped. Be

although all he said was: "Frl take
it myself"
She sent him away with the little

that only its head stuck out.

kitten and shot himself through the

Smif had telephoned Doctor New

ture, worried over the possible result

greatly interested in the evidence of
awakening emotion in his patient and
inclined to regard 1t as a favorable

he said. 81 understand your position
perfectly. I'm hopeful this will be
precisely the jolt he needs to make
a normal man of him."
He arrived at the apartment too late.
His patient was already dead
But this affair signed Smif's re
lease. She was failure after all.
Nothing would persuade her that she
had not fallen down on her Job.
Doctor Newbold used every argument
possible. The man was fore-doomed.
Even If she had married him, II would
only have postponed the evil day. She
stood toward her clients In the posi-
ton of doctor. Suppose a doctor
gave up his practice because he lost a
patient? Nothing he could say made
any impression, perhaps because an
other element In the affair had deter
mined Sniff.
She was positive in her conviction
that as Madame Saitou she should
never have reduced. Her instinct had
been correct when II had warned her
that her great size was part Of her

HOME LIFE MAKES
STRONGER APPEAL
TO MODERN GIRL

Ordinarily the much-used ques-
tionnalre regarding personal matters
Is not worth consideration. but the
conclusion reached by a western col
lege from replies sent by its goods to
a general inquiry as to their inten-
lions for the future, Is so nearly
what one would expect under pre-
vailing conditions that 1t seems prob
able the conclusion Is correct.
The majority of young women stu
dents In all the classes admitted that
they were looking forward to mar
riage and home life. Ten years ago
such an expression would hardly
have been obtained from the same
source. We were still In the good old
"cremo days" when the career for
young women looked attractive.
Here and there women who had
broken into the sphere once held ex-
clusively by men were making more
than good. and the prospect of a
traditional home life for women
looked drab and uninteresting. The
girls talked it over in the sororities
and the gab-rooms and agreed that
maternity was not for them.
1t is true that many weakened
when the right man CHANGED to come
along; still it was maintained as the
new tradition that women must be
independent none of the old cling
ing vine stuff for them. Nothing
should be accepted that carried with
1t suggestion Of the broom and the
dishpan. Naturally the career women
of the classes graduated since 1920
are not doing so well now. And re-
ports have been coming back to the
campus.
Hence the answers to the ques-
tionnaire. Yes, fellows, the goods
facing graduation are open to matri-
mony proposals. and under the con-
ditions that prevailed as of old. Let
US hope for the success of the mar
riages that result.-Columbus Dis

"Why did Garcia Mason take the
child to such a person for lessons?"
Susan, who was no fool, peered up at
Sniff through her Oxfords.
"She may have thought him good

Sniff laughed. This was question
she was prepared to parry and it car
ried the conversation safely away from
Garcia Mason.

"Hm." said Susan, and that was all.
For the time that closed the matter.
Smif had devoted more than a little
thought to what she was to do with
her business. She hardly saw how she

work In New York.

Strangely enough, II was her first

led her to think of making herself

petted the kitten but made no move to

used an excuse to leave the room and

Why
Liquid LaxatiVes
are Back in Favor
<%=-

The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a perfect movement without
any discomfort at the time, or after.
The dose of liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is a natural laxative. 1t does
not drain the system like the cathar-
tics that leave you so thirsty. DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on SIENNA for its
laxative action. 1t gently helps the

Frontiersm en-
Mad Anthony's Spies
ELMO SCOTT WATSON

| WHEN Gen. Anthony Wayne start
" ed his campaign against the hos
tile tribes of the Old Northwest In
1893. he resolved not to be taken by
surprise by the enemy as his predeces-
sor, Gen. Arthur st. Clair. had been
two years before. Therefore, he "em-
! ployed number of the best woodsmen
the frontier afforded, to act as rang
ers." He gave command of this force
OF some 40 men to Capt. Ephraim Kib.
| by, native of New Jersey who had
been one of the first settlers near
| Cincinnati after the Revolution, a
| hunter for the garrison at Fort Wash
| ington and scout for st. Clair.
Skilled as were Kibby and his rang
ers in woodcraft and valuable as they
were to Wayne as scouts, the elite Of
the company was division of spies"
composed Of less than a dozen men.
Capt. William Wells, a Kentuckian,
commanded them, and the others were
Robert McLelland, Henry Miller, and
four others identified only by their
last names-May, Hickman, Mahaffy
and Thorp.
Captain Wells and his companions
were confidential and privileged gen
tlemen in camp, who were only called
upon to do duty upon very particular
and interesting occasions" says one
of the historians of that period "They
were permitted carte blanche among
the horses of the dragons, and when
upon duty, went well mounted; whilst
| the rangers commanded by Captain
| Kibby went on foot" One reason for
this favoritism was that three of them.
Wells, Miller and May, had been
white ndians"-returned captiyes
who could assume the dress and speak
the tongue of the red men so well as
to deceive any Indian they met, thus
increasing their value as spies.
Miller had younger brother, Chris
| TOPPER, who was still held by the In
| dams and by a remarkable coinci-
dence, one of his first spying expedi-
lions, when he, Wells and McLelland
were sent out by Wayne to bring in
prisoner for questioning, resulted In
the capture of an Indian who turned
out to be his brother! Christopher
later became one Of Wells spies,
| whose services were so valuable in the
success of Wayne's campaign which
eliminated at the victory at Fallen
| Timbers in 1894.
After that, the Millers, Hickman,
Mahaffy and Thorp drop out Of his
tory, but two of the others were
marked for future fame-McLelland as
fur trader on the Missouri and an EN-
ployee of the American Fur company
whose deeds are immortalized in
Washington Irving's astoria; and
Wells as Indian agent at Fort Wayne
and hero of the Fort Dearborn massa-
ere in 1912 when his devotion to his
niece, Rebekah Head, led him to the
death which he knew awaited him on
| the shores of Lake Michigan.

Two Names on Utah's Map


ONE was Frenchman, Etienne Pro-
o'vot sometimes spelled Provost),
who was a member of the famous
| Ashley-Henry expedition of 1922 up
the Missouri and later captain of a
company of Ashley-Henry men who
| trapped all through central Wyoming.
| The next year he quarreled with Ash
ley and Joined the rival Pratte- Chou
| teau company which later merged with
the American Fur company. After that
he became head of group of free
trappers and journeyed from Wyoming
over into Utah.
Authentic records of this period are
scarce but Provot may have seen the
| Great Salt lake before Jim Bridger
did and he may have gone through
| South Pass before Thomas FitZpat-
| rick did. A little more authentic is
the story of how the site of the city
named for him was baptized in blood
when a party of treacherous Snake
Indians killed II trappers in his COM
pany. His long career of adventure
came to an end with his death in st.
Louis in 1850.
The other was an Englishman, Peter
Skene Ogden, the son of New York
| Loyalist or Tory who removed to Can
ada after the Revolution. Young Og-
| den entered the service of the North
West Fur company and later was a
| brigade leader for DR.. John McLough-
lin, chief factor of the Hudson's Bay
company in the Pacific Northwest. AS
such he explored much of the present
state of Idaho and parts of Nevada
and Utah. He is said to have been
| the first white man to see Mount
Shasta and the headwaters of the Sac
ramento river. He discovered the
| Humboldt river, which for many years
bore his name.
| Ogden married a Salish woman and
won a great influence over many Of
the tribes Of the Northwest. Because
of this he was able to rescue some Of
the captives held by the Indians afrer
| the Whitman massacre in 1S47.
Whether or not he and Provot ever
knew each other personally is uncer-
tain, but it is likely that they rlet
some time while both were ranging
through Utah or at some gathering
of trappers in that part of the coun-
try. And it would be easy to imagine
the Frenchman and the Englishman
meeting again at the Last Render
