Shot Through The Wind Pipe (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the physician. He does not want them notified of the accident, however, unless the results prove more serious. Officers in surrounding towns were notified of the escaped assailants, and his companion, and were on the watch. It is quite probable they escaped on a train. According to the Journal-Gazette it is believed that they rode north on the G. R. & I. The article says: “The city patrol wagon, with a number of officers, was sent to the south tracks of the Pennsylvania last night about 8 o'clock to go through freight train No. 78 in search of three hoboes who shot a companion through the neck early in the evening in a hobo camp at the outskirts of Decatur. The officers were placed along thetracks and went through the train as soon as it arrived, but found no traces of the fellow. However, one of the brakemen on the train told the police that two fellows who had been riding on top of the cars out of Decatur had left the train at Adams. These are thought io be the men implicated in the shooting. The three were seen to run toward the train as it was leaving the city limits at Decatur, and it is believed that they boarded the freight as no clue could be found to them at Decatur.” The man will probably be left at the George Smitley home until tomorrow, when he will probably be taken to the county infirmary if the physician thinks it safe to move him at that time. o Large Fund For Repairs 'CONTINUED FWOM PAGE ONF' Wabash 1557.57 2182.52 372 Warren 1205.71 1205.88 308 Warrick 555.37 254.83 40 Washington . 876.76 515.29 209 Wayne 1642.67 3255.84 240 Wells 1927.48 1556.79 728 White 1424.05 1893.96 353 Whitley 851.29 1534.75 13 Talk On Health

VICTORY OVER JACK FROST Writer Telia of Preparation Which Will Keep Pipe* From Freezing Even in Coldest Weather. One of the most annoying and trou blesome things to be met each winter in farm and country life is the ques tloii of frozen water pipes, writes J. C. Mink in the Country Gentleman. Th); is especially so in districts where there is no gar line, and where plumb ing is unprotected and opeu. Each winter for several years I was given all kinds of trouble and extra work in this way as soon as the thermometer reached the freezing point or lower. After much experimenting 1 finally hit upon the easiest, most Inexpensive and surest way to keep the frost off the pipes. I have recommended it to many persons, who have tried It and found it saves many repair bills. Melt an equal quantity of petroleum —vaseline —and of paraffin wax together, and, after wiping the pipes perfectly dry, apply with an old brush a thick coat of this mixture while it is hot. An old lamp or torch will easily keep it in a liquid state. You will find that no matter how cold the weather may get the frost cannot penetrate this coat of grease I have used this on water pipes that ran along the ground unprotected, and not once during the coldest weathei did they freeze or give me the least trouble. PROPER FINISH TO HIS STORY War Correspondent Equal to the Occasion When Heaiers’ Inquiries Became Pressing.

One of the recent London publics tions is a book entitled "Bohemian Days in Fleet Street," by “A Journal Ist." It contains among other thiugt some amusing character sketches oi war correspondents, famous in theii day. Os one of these, a genial Irish man named “Charlie” Williams, the following anecdote is told: i Charlie Williams could have given Baron Munchausen a stone and a beat ing. He spoke with a rasping North of Ireland accent and his campaign anecdotes gained g:eatly by the stolid matter-of-fact manner in which thej were narrated. I recall now one oi his campaign reminiscences. It is s quaint experience of a correspondent under fire. "I had got under cover of a big bowlder and had tethered my horsv beside me. I was just munchin' a bes kit, when a shell burst on the rock an' shot the nosebag right off my charger. He bad shoved his daumnec ould head out of cover." “And you?" asked Pearse. “I just went on munchin' my bes kit” “But." suggested Dunning, “if th* shell took away the nosebag it ought to have carried away the beast's head as well.” "It did!" replied Williams, with th< utmost sangfroid. Disappearing Lakes. The disappearance of Lake Canter no, near Rome, will not seriously at feet the map of Italy. Only the local fisherfolk will miss its few squan miles, should its waters never return from the subterranean caves into which they have again disappeared The Russian government, however, it much concerned about the greatest of all the world’s lakes, the Caspian «ea, which covers an area of ISO.OM square miles. The waters of thit great inland eea are slowly disappear Ing. and the imperial Academy o* Science has appointed a commission to investigate on the spot the cause t'nless the shores of the Caspian are rising (which has been suggested), there seems no other explanation but that the water is passing away by some subterranean channel. The Brit iah colonial office has also recently ordered an inquiry Into inexplicable al terations In the level of Lake Victoria which occupies some 2.000 squarmiles of the British East African pro tectorate, and occasionally sinks »o low as to prevent steamers comiuunl rating with the shore. Advocates Trucking at Night. Arthur Williams, president of the Electric Vehicle association of Amer ica, suggests that traffic congestion In New York, Chicago and other busy cities could be relieved by doing the trucking by night tusiead of by day. There Is believed to be no reason why wholesale trueklag could not be done »’ night. Goods may be moved from th* terminals to warehouses and the moving tn large quantities nf merchandise to th* large department stores does not have to be done in the daytime Mr. Williams *ven suggests that real might bo delivered to large buildings at night When the streets am tint ocoupled by other trafii* great er speed may be maintained and dsllv-1 ertaa may be made in leu time.

Practical QO STashion Hints 2 > /a AJIc« Giteon II B 11 / • . 11l i| j' The peg-top is by far th© most popular skirt model this season. It gives the modish wide waist and hip and does not make one look short and cut off as would at first be inferred. The lines are long and the folds are laid in gracefully about the waist No. 7968 is a four-piece model with a slightly raised waist-line and a broad lapped seam down the center front and back. Tho thick, light weight wool materials. velours, duvetyns and velveteens lend themselves very well to this style of draping. With a skirt of this description it Is well to make all the necessary changes, in fact completely finish the upper part of the skirt before turning the hem. I have found that much trouble is saved if after turning up and basting the hem it is pressed flat before stitching on the machine (if this ia done) or hemming by band. For a band finished hem 1 find tho short cat stitch practical and neat This skirt will require for size 24 2% yards of 42 inch material. The patfern is cut in 5 sizes; 22 to 30. This Is a Perfect Pattern. Be sure to state right size, passing tbc tape tightly around the smallest part of the waist and loosely anmnd the widest part of the hips. It may be obtained by tilling out the coupon and enclosing 15 cents in stamps or coin to the Pattern Department of this paper.
