/ cidental to the ending of subsequent
wars. Though as heart warming and
| sincere some such occasions had less
glamour and demonstration 100 years
before regrettably, sometimes none
at all.
At the ending of December, 1913,
James Mather and David Mitchell,
soldiers in the War of 1912 who had
been honorably discharged at Ft.
Meigs, trudged home through the
woods to the Mitchell settlement on
Big Darby creek, in Jerome Town
ship, Union County. 1t was bitter cold
and showing.
Their path led through an uninhabit-
ed region with no trail at all to guide
them. To cross Mill creek the boys
had to cut tree and pay it across for
foot bridge. 1t failed to reach the op-
posite end and in crossing both boys
were wet to the knees.
Once across, Mitchell, who was not
well anyway, had an attack of cough
ing and vomiting, brought on by the
chill from the wetting and the weather
itself. They still were six miles from
the Mitchell settlement when he be-
came too sick to go on and sank to the
ground. Believing that he could not
survive he begged Mather to go on a
lone and seek his own safety. Mather
refused and instead began doing what
he could for his sick comrade to pro-
vide some sort of shelter and make
the boy more comfortable.
He gathered some dry leaves and
made a bed Of them at the roots OF a
big tree then with brush branches
and bark built rude shelter and car
ried Mitchell into it. BY rubbing his
feet and legs he tried to get some
circulation into them, then taking a
pair of stockings out of his own KNAPP
sack he put them on Mitchelrs feet.
Night came on and although it stop
ped showing it got colder. All through
the night Mather kept up his efforts
to restore Mitchell but had little or no
luck at all. When dawn came the boy
was much worse.
Both boys knew that Mitchell rapid
ly was sinking and he besought Ma
ther with signs and what few words
he could speak to seek safety ana
leave him to die alone. This Mather
would not do but Immediately be-
gan to make Mitchell as much more
comfortable as he could.
Taking small handfulls of snow ne
held them against the sick boys lips
to melt so that he could have few
swallows of water, then tucked the
leaves more closely around for more
warmth and when it was light enough
started on fast run towards the set
tlement for help.
Nearing the Mitchell home he met
the bows three brothers in the woods
and told them his story. They hur-
riedly got blankets and restorahVes
and sped on horseback to the little
shelter at the foot of the tree, much a.
fraid that they would be too late.

Crisis on Suez

BY J. A. O'LEARY

Senator Mansfield. Democrat
of Montana, said last night the
Suez Canal crisis might not have
arisen if the administration hao
acted promptly on suggestions he
made six months ago for a con-
ference of western European ma
lions which depend on Middle
East oil.
I'VE have no choice now but
to acknowledge the damage
which has resulted from delay
and vacillation in dealing with
the Middle Eastern situation,
the Montana Democrat said
"We have no choice but to face
the fact that we are confronted
with a new situation, one which
contains greater risks, ont
which will cost more to copt
with"

In another development, the
national officers of the National

sought to permit Negroes to Join

The union has a provision in
its constitution, specifying that
only "Caucasians" are eligible for
membership.
Magic Leads Fight
NPTA President Maggie, newly
elected this year. is leading the
fight to remove this provision.
The unions executive board has
approved a resolution asking the
convention to delete the provision
and allow Negroes to become
eligible for membership.
Before the convention began.
AFL-CIO President George

that the ban was again AFL-CIO
policy.

the issue. with Southern dele

EASY DOES IT-The Civil
Service Commission has gotten
out a chart that simplifies the
work OF figuring what the Civil
Service employee will get in an
nuity benefits under the new
retirement act.
Years Of service are given on
a scale at the left of the chart
and the average salary on an
other scale running through the
charts center. Strike a line
from the number of years of
service across the page through
the average salary scale. The
line ends. at a figure on the an
Inuity scale printed at the right.
This is approximately applicable.
The chart does not provide
for figuring any annuity higher
than $4,000 a year. In that
range. presumably, the employee
would have a secretary who could
compute his annuity for him.
