Annihilation or Russian
 Army Made Hindenbug

an advance guard of Cossack lancers moved toward the German flank and behind them were 191,- 900 Russians under General sam sonoff.
 In front of Rennenkampf's army Hindenburg strung feeble line of cavalry, craftily stationed to give the illusion that a strong German force was ready to block the ad- vance. As a military force 1t was a joke and would have yielded like tissue paper had the Russians pressed Rennenkampf paused. It was his undoing. Swiftly Hinden- burg deployed his main force un- til he was on the Hanks of sam sonoff's army. Samsonoff walked into the trap under the impress sion that the German army still was confronting Rennenkampf. The issue was joined at the village of Hohenstein. For three days they fought with Samsonoff trying to shake off the bulldog grip on his Hanks. On the third day Samson off was surrounded.
 Everywhere the Russian infan- trymen turned, spiked helmets were waiting behind a line Of rifles and machine guns. No one ever will know exactly how many of the Czar's men died there. One hundred thousand were captured Another hundred thousand were killed or wounded. Some say an- other 100000 were drowned. On the field that night lay General Samsonoff, a Suicide.
 Without giving his army time to sleep, Hindenburg whirled and under forced marches, struck Rennenkampf's forces. The ghastly news of Tannenburg seeped through and Rennenkampf re- treated. Hindenburg was after him like an averaging angel staying reg iments and brigades of Russians and taking whole divisons prson- CT. A few weeks later Rennen- kampf struggled home and not 3 single Russian soldier was on Ger man soil.
 That changed the course Of the war. Russia was knocked out fn' six months and Germany massed troops on the western front. Hin | denbuYg went to command then l q national hero.

Drought Hits The

human beings obliged to labor in the merciless sun. Estimate placed the death toll from heat this sum- mer in excess of 1000.
 Much of the wheat and small grain has been harvested - or plowed under the fields where the crop was too small even to pay for the gleaning.
 In the broad corn fields of Iowa, Illinois and the surrounding states a new crisis was at hand with the crop just entering the tassel stage. With rain a lot of it will yield well.
 There wasn't even a. faint chance for rain in the near future, though, and as result prices on the Chicago board of trade mounted to the highest in four years for the May delivery of corn. The bid was S3 cents a bushel and the market continued bullish.
 Mounting grain prices were paced by rising prices in other lines of farm commodities and in this factor the farmer found some relief. Such growers as had any thing to sell would collect big money for it.
 High grade cattle were at pre- mium on the livestock marts of the country-but there were only occa- sional carload shipments of choice beef while the runs were crowded with believing steers from the drought land, rushed to the butch CT before they fell dead from star vation. heat and thirst. While the prices of grain and | livestock mounted at the farm ter minals, bringing big revenues to scattered farmers, the prices of | food mounted in grocery stores and meat markets bringing hard ship to the families of industry. | Everything from bread and but ter in the grocery store to the price of a good dinner in a res | taurant reacted to the strange economic situation.
 The weather situation today threatened to rob the nation of a large portion of its food supply.
 A low pressure area was report | ed from New Mexico to Iowa holding the heat fast to the ground and warding off every cooling breeze from the far northwest. At Manhattan, Kan, the temperature for 31 consecutive days ranged from peaks of 107 to IF degrees. The last rain came the second week in June.
 Occasional tiny whilwinds swept across the prairie sucking up dust and sand from the channels that once were surging rivers. | Added to the problem of finding food and water for livestock in the country was the shortage of water for actual necessities of citizens in the drought-ridden cities where pavements ran sticky in the beat | ing sun.
 At Creston. Iowa, the water sup | ply gave out weeks ago and tank cars were brought into play by the railroad to haul water from Coun- cil Bluffs, more than one hundred miles away. Last night fire started in the city and much of the reserve supply had to be used to quench the blaze.
 | Citizens were on water rations. Lawns that owners tended with every care have turned brown and died.

MUNITIONS ARE
 INVESTIGATED
 BY THE SENATE
Probe Shows That Ameri- can Firms Have Been
 Selling to Germany

Washington, August z (UPI = The special senate investigation of sale of American arms and mu- nitions has led to connection with the German military situation. it was learned today. German af- fairs have become involved st several points of the inquiry. which will begin formal hearings on Sep tember 4. Investigators, working at top speed to get their material in shape for public presentation. were reticent to discuss that Ger man connection prior to next months open sessions.
 The question of sale of American war supplies to Germany has been raised previously in connection with German claims of inability to meet debt obligations. The inquiry is expected to furnish the first de- tailed evidence in this connection. It was said that records of muni- tions makers have been made available for the most part with out hesitancy. At one Of the smaller manufacturing plants In New York. however, it was found that all office records had been destroyed.
 In that particular office contents of the safe had not been disturbed and investigators found a tabula- tion of a million dollar expendf- ture. Officials of the company will be asked to testify concerning the items mentioned. One of the first tasks of the investigating committee, headed by Senator Ger aid P. Nye, republican. North Da- kota, will be to show profits made by American munitions makers during the World war.
 Another phase to be developed early concerns the Gran Chaco war between Bolivia and Paraguay. It was said that investigators have found evidence of active promotion efforts intended to result in in- creased sales of American muni-

THE HFE-cIvINc SUN


OF all ancient religious rites in which
visible objects were venerated the worship
Of the sun was the most logical. as has
been demonstrated by modern science. All
life on earth depends upon the beneficent
rays of the sun. without which both ami
mails and plants would sicken and die.
In recent years the particular light
waves which have . reviving and healing
effect upon living organisms have been
identified and means have been employed
for their practical use. These are called
ultraviolet rays, and are invisible.
An important discovery was made
few years ago when it was found that ordi-
nary window glass stops the health-giving
rays. Then science developed a glass
made of fused quartz. through which
these light waves pass freely Now a
type of artificial light which produces the
rays has been perfected, whereby the same
effects may be obtained whether the sun
shines or not.
Ultraviolet rays, either natural or
ARTIFICIAL, are used for the prevention and
cure of ricketts, in children and also serve
10 make adults to great extent immune
from colds and pneumonia, as well as to
correct weaknesses which make them sus-
eeptible to other diseases.
Thus the life-giving properties of the
sun have been made to serve mankind in
ways undreamed of by the early SURVIVOR
shippers.

THE TIPPING RACKET

While many attempts have been made
to eradicate it. even by the passage of
laws. the tipping habit persists. through
lack of courage on the part of the public
to resist it.
Originally. no doubt. the custom of
giving tips to servants was inspired by
kindly motives. but it has grown to be
nuisanee-simply species of petty graft
Many employers of low class, help pay
miserably small wages. with the knowl-
edge that tips from customers win supply
the deficiency. Employees accept the
small wages. or often no wages. with the
same understanding. Consequently the
public pays in the aggregate vast sums for
which no service whatever is rendered.
The effect of the tipping custom is
wholly bad, because those who accept the
gratuities must lose somewhat in self re-
speet, while those who pay them do so
simply because it is expected and they do
not wish to appear stingy.
One restaurant recently displayed a
sign which read: I'VE pay our walters
living wages and do not permit them 10
accept tips That sign inevitably caused
patrons to hold a higher opinion of the
proprietor and his walters
