My little grandson is quite a hand for "reasoning from analogy," and the other day was asking what his family name was.

I answered "Lyon." He considered a moment and then faid: "So I suppose you came from Africa?"—Chicago Tribune.

Abraham, who was horn in Russia, and has wasted mest of his twenty nine years in North America, was ar raigned for refusing to appear for ex amination under the federal draft act. In his blotted questionnaire be made it dear that his only dependents are birds and squirrels of Central park, and, although there are a lot of them, this excuse was deemed less than «mph • He explained that he fed the birds and squirrels and outlined what the menu was and how often the bird and squirrel food was served, whereupon dete< tin s with rubber heels began tiptoeing toward the Adler furnished room at I MM "est Seventy-eighth street. Upon arriving there they found Mr. Adler with one hand within ids lapel and with one knee slightly extended, defying the world, lie stated that he would not move one elbow, ear or eyelash, and that no power on earth could move him. The reason for this was that lie had been ordained by beaten sis a minister of God; that he was a "god in heart," and that, by the merest good fortune, he was a "star in heaven." This being explained. Mr. Adler was removed, feet up, to the federal court and arraigned before Judge Julius M. Mayer. Government alienists tapped Mr. Adler's head and found that far from being empty it was full of nonsense and that he was one of the sanest bird and squirrel chefs ever annoyed by the thought of armed conflict. \\ lien arraigned he explained that the sight of anyone being jabbed, punched or hooted makes him weaker than usual and that lie would go to war if the government would guarantee him an enemy who would not get too flip on slight acquaintance. So the detectives picked him up by the feet again and took him over to the Essex county Jail, where, as luck would have it, he will be the only "star of heaven" ou the premises. Atrocious Cruelty Inflicted on "Sons of Rest ' B AYONNE, X.

Three detectives chaperoned them to the presence of Chief of Police Reilly, and when their pedigrees were registered it disclosed that they were Russians, Austrians and Lithuanians. Walter Gozvezyk, thirty-six years of age, living at 44 Prospect avenue, when searched produced a draft card with A-l marked on it. The police believe he had come from Chicago to evade the draft. Gozvezyk said that all he had in the world was the rich music of his name, and just ns the police began to feel sorry for u man who had to walk through life with a cognomen like a buzz saw $028 in bills was also found tucked away In one of his pockets. Chief of Police Reilly asked another Son of Rest what he did to keep the wolf from leaping through the trunsom. He answered : "I'm a cutter." "A cutter of what?" "A cutter of cards." After that little jest at the expense of the municipality the men were taken to jail. They will be arraigned later before Recorder William J. Cain of the police court and it is predicted that life would lose its glamor for them. The Recorder has vowed that he would make Bayonne a "humless town, and the phrase sounds ominous for the prisoners. Idlers, shirkers and the persons of leisure who have been dodging work and taking up room in public thoroughfares are learning today that the nation is at war and that they must help by working or go to jail. Every unemployed man between the age of eighteen and fifty years must enroll under the provi sions of the antiloafer law recently passed by the legislature. And then as soon as possible—and the police of the various cities are noting the elapsed time_they must be at work in occupations found for them by the authorities Fines and imprisonment await all who violate the law. (KWëftAD ) Believes Huns Would Flee Before Rattlesnakes J ERSEY CITY.—On a sand-flat farm on Long Island, Paul Nicholson, an actor, is breeding a strain of unusually active rattlesnakes, and at the same time appealing to all good Americans to send him any rattlers they happen to have about the house. When his col lection is large enough Nicholson will give the rattlers to the aviation service to be dropped from airplanes above the German trenches. "I understand that there are mil lions of perfectly competent rattle snakes literally going to waste in our great West," explains the .serpent im presario. "They are ail armed with deadly weapons and ready for the war against the Germans. All they need is the chance to do their hit. They have tlie ammunition and the weapons. They eat very little and never drink. They require not clothing, cigarettes, comfort kits, love letters, or-" "How aboi^t parachutes?" was suggested. "Of course, many details remain to he worked out," said Mr. Nicholson, "but from all I can find out about rattlesnakes they are the only ready-made, sure death, noncombustiide combination of liquid fire, poison gas and barbed wire that is equal to the job of helping our armies to clean out the German trenches. I'm going right ahead, and the day when I unloose my fanged rattlers over the Hiudeuburg line will he 'Der Tug' with a vengeance. — ' ten His Income Hardly Adapted to "Gay White Way" C HICAGO._Legacies may come and legacies may go, hut the one into which Henry Miller came just goes right on forever. By the terms of the last will and testament of Mr. Miller's wife, who died on January 30 last, he will receive every day as long as he lives an expense account of ten cents. This he can spend in any way which seems to him desirable. Mrs. Miller left an estate of $5,000 and it is to be divided in equal parts among her husband and two sons, Charles and Henry, Jr„ It Is provided that they give up their home and that Henry Miller, Jr., as executor of the estate, will ohtnin a suitable boarding place for Henry Miller, Sr. Rent for one room and board for the elder Mr. Miller are to be paid once a week and a lump sum of ten cents is to be given him daily by the estate. In a sense he is a remittance man. Seen at the court Mr. Miller seemed to think that his legacy would he just about enough to keep him uncomfortable for life, as was indicated when he was asked for a briet Interview. That he gave. "Well," said Mr. Miller in oart; "Well, well!" <o4 WOMDER. \ c: VA Food Expert Emphasises SuperionS of Milk to Sugar ror Children ; By DR. HARVEY W. WILEY I log tiioec who arc doing their utmost to economize and those in somewhat straitened circumstance* to P" n ' (1er carefully these suggestions : to eat more of the cheap er kinds of food-, such as ('créais bought in hula and eaten with simplicity ; to purchase less sugar, which is bv no means a necessity, and add this saving to the sum set aside for the purchase of milk. I should like to see these, conditions obtain, name ly, that in every family where there are children, at least a pint of milk should be used each day by each child. Whenever milk is purchased in these circumstances, it should be devoted first of all to the infant or young child, and if any be left over it may he used by the children of larger growth, and the men and women of the household. 1 am not exaggerating in any sense when 1 say that 10 cents invested in milk is of far more value to the family with a child than when invested in sugar. This is true, although the heating power of 10 cents worth of sugar is considerably greater than that of l (t cents worth et milk. The nutritive value to the child, however, is far greater in 10 cents worth of milk than it is in 10 cents' worth of sugar. A child fed sugar will never he nourished and grow, and it cannot be well nourished and grow properly without milk. All the constituents of milk nourish the child. Its bones and teeth are made from the valuable mineral substances in the milk, lho muscles and parts of the nerves, tendons, and bones are built up from the protein (casein) of the milk. The heat of the body is supplied by the milk sugai and milk fat. Strong Arguments Made in Favor of Universal Military Training By THOMAS ADDISON of the Vigilantes C op all mv S6 There are inanv arguments in favor of universal military training Here is one that struck home to me with peculiar force. This southern state from which 1 write has a population of over twl million, of which 15 per cent is illiterate. J have met a good many of this latter class in my goings about in the rural districts. One of them I knew very well. He was a young fellow, white, and a farmhand. He had three brothers. Onlv one of the four could read; he was a carpenter in the city The others had stayed on the farm, and never gone to school. The} couldn't write their names. The mother could read and write, after 6 fashion. The father was dead. Well, Jim, the one I knew, was drafted and sent to Camp Lee. Ihii cut him off completely from his family, for, you see, he was unable to com municate with them in any way hut by word of mouth. Jim had the regular farm slouch when he left home. His shoulders were hunched over, and his walk was a shuffle. His eyes had a bovine look. His iace had nc expression. His speech was a slovenly drawl. This was the picture of Jim that remained with me from my last view of him. The other day I dropped into a hotel here in the city to send off some picture cards. In the writing room a young infantryman sat at a desk neat mine. He was making rough weather of a letter he had under way, but was getting on just the same. Presently I heard my name spoken and looked up. The soldier had left his seat and come over to me. He was standing by my chair, his hand ex tended—as trim a figure of a man anyone would wish to set—erect, straight-shouldered, alert, quick-eyed and brimful of energy. I stared at him, and he grinned in return. ''Don't vou remember me?" he quizzed. "I m Jim Blank. I in wait ing for mv chum, we're going to a picture show. J bought I d put in the time writing home to ma." IIis head lifted pridefully. I can do it now. We've got a bully good school at camp. 1 m getting on fine all round. I in living eveiy minute I'm awake." He laughed out loud in the exuberance of his feelings. "Say," he confided, "it tickles me to.death 'cause you didn't know me. I wouldn't take $10 for it. ' Well, is this one argument for universal military training, or isn't it? We Must Stand By Our Boys Who Are Fighting for Us "Somewhere in France" By PAULINE WORTH HAMLIN Word has come back from the boys in France "We will be all right over here in the trenches if you folks over there will stand by us. What do they mean by standing by ? They mean for us to do our part in food conservation, in buying Thrift stamps and Liberty bonds. They mean for us to stand by the Red Cross with our money, our hands and our brains. They mean for us to refrain from buying nonessentials so that the men and women who make them can be released for the making of essentials. They mean for us to place a one-cent 6tamp upon our periodicals when we have finished reading them so that the boys may have good things to read. They mean for us to write cheerful letters to them. One young sol dier said, "I don't mind the danger and the discomforts if I feel that everybody Is all right at home, but when I get a letter saying that Frank is out of a job and Sister Hattie is sick and food is so high they can't af ford it and there ie no coal—well, I feel like the devil." Remember that by the time that letter reaches France Frank may have a letter job, Hattie may be fat and rosy, food may be easier to get and the coal shortage ended. Even if that is not true write cheerful letters anvwav. The boy over there needs cheer, it isn't his place to be cheering vou. Remember that whatever discomforts we may he having over here they are comforts compared to what they have over there. I yet us not fail our boys wbo are fighting for us. The very least we can do is stand by. The star-spangled banner that tells how many employees are in their country's service is worthy of all honor, too.
