HIGH GLASS ARTISANS Itl CORPS OF ENGINEERS

Picked Body of Mechanics Enter Royal Engineers to Act as Sappers and Miners. Provide Uniforms for Recruits and Build Bridges and Pontoons for Armies in Fighting Zone. LONDON, Aug. 7.--Wby the Royal Engineers, are, and probably always will be tbe most popular corps In the British army la a question that any sapper Is prepared to answer at a moment's notice; but as his reply generally includes, with the advantages and glories of the Royal Corps, all the distinguished officers it has given to the service, that . enumeration would be far too lengthy for a single issue of a newspaper; Sufficient for the day is it to mention that Lord Kitchener himself served his military apprenticeship as a subaltern of the Royal Engineers. To that may be attributed the fact that even in these, months of war an endless stream of recruits has flowed into the training depot, whose headquarters overlook the tawny waters of the Basingstoke canal. Scene of Action. It is a block of buildings now that serves tq house the sappers, miners, pontoonials, bridge-builders, minelayers; redoubt constructors, and the artificers of a hundred and one trades who constitute the rank and tie of tbe corps, for the solid red brick and almost artistic pile that stood in time of peace is now surrounded with groups of tar-roofed huts, whose only beauty lies in their utility. The newcomers, however, are not the only huts the Engineers can boast. Hidden away among their stables are wooden huts that date back to tbe Crimea, condemned as dwelling places but serviceable still as storehouses, whose stability testifies to the craftmanship of byegone generations of sappers. "Sappers," it should be said. Is the generic term for the R. E. of every rank, by the electricians, boat builders, blacksmiths, 'joiners, surveyors, coppersmiths, telegraph clerks, or plumbers. All Mechanics Welcome. There are all these and a hundred other callings in the various engineer companies, for the one essential to enlistment on this corps is the knowledge of a craft or profession. Turners and machinists of all kinds, too, are wearing its uniform, and if munition makers are withdrawn from the fighting forces, it is possible that the engineers will supply a very big per. rentage. . "Are you getting a more intelligent type of recruit?" was a question propounded to an Aldershot sapper officer. "No, we are not," was the reply. Queer Ones Over State BEDFORD A check for $49.51, signed with the name of Earl G. Short, was accepted by the county treasurer during the rush of tax-paying time here. He gave a receipt for the money, too, without even glancing at tbe check. The county treasurer is Earl G. Short. WANT AD8 PAY. LEBANON Found, a sum of money. Owner may have same by naming the amount and paying for this ad. Miss Armourel Lewis, R. R. 1. Miss Lewis began getting answers to this ad in a local newspaper before it had been printed an hour and replies are still coming. Most of ' the correspondents claim to have lost amounts ranging from $6.50 to $40. Miss Lewis says no one has guessed I the amount yet. BREAKS LEG ON ICE. SHELBY VI LLE Slipping on the icy sidewalk in front of his home this happened right in the middle of summer, too Monroe Spurlin fell and his right leg was fractured. The ice was a small chunk accidentally dropped by the Iceman; QUESTION MARK IN SKY. CO ATESVI LLE A huge luminous question mark hanging in the sky beneath the rainbow, was seen by several hundred people here, when the sun shone for a few minutes during a rain storm. Several people who saw the phenomenon believe it Is an omen of some impending catastrophe. MOVES HOUSE INTERIOR. VALPARAISO Being unable to remove here his boyhood home in Ohio, tbe scene of his most fond recollections, Prof. C. H. DeWitt, dean of the Valparaiso University medical department, has brought the walnut wainscoting, door casings and other trimmin'gs from his ancestral home to this city and will use them in his new modern bungalow. THE UNLOADED GUN. TERRE HAUTE "Didn't know it was loaded," bobbed up again when , Rex Manuel, 14, shot and killed his . sister, Esther, 15,, with a revolver. The coroner exonerated the lad. HAS TO SERVE TERM. M U NCI E It 'cost John Sunday, of . Albany, a fine of $100 and six months . at tbe Putnamville penal farm for sell- ' Ing beer and whiskey illegally. An appeal to the supreme court and a promise never to do it again, failed to .get him out of his ; scrape.; v r.uMAN THINKS HE'S HORSE. COLUMBUS John E. Millencamp, who was - kicked on the head by, a '. horse more than a year ago, recently became violently insane,' and thinks 'he is a horse. He constantly imitates that animal by neighing, kicking and stamping. Millencamp engaged in the sfock raising business for years.

"The -men are keener perhaps,: but certainly not more intelligent, because we always bad the pick of the artisan Class even in peace time." - This consciousness of superiority was always a marked feature of the R. E., acknowledged too by the war office, for they take precedence of all infantry regiments, even . of Guards. Before the war it found its expression in the mess of the non-commissioned officers. Keep Open Mess. With the exception of the Household cavalry, every . other military unit had a separate mess (or its sergeants. Not so the engineers; they made no difference between corporals and sergeants, and their non-commissioned officer's mess was open to every wearer of stripes, be they the four of a quartermaster-sergeant tbe one of a lance corporal. But tbe expansion brought about by war has overstrained the capacity of the Aldershot mess, and now, to the regret of all its members, it is open to none below the rank of sergeant. - It is a very conservative corps, the R. E., and one seldom hears of the son of a Royal Engineer joining any other , branch of tbe service. . Indeed, among the latest recruits one may find many whose fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers wore the Engineers' uniform. Last week, too, they had in their ranks, just back from the front a little fellow, who it is said is the youngest boy soldier that has been through the present campaign. This was Trum

peter Hayman. descendant of a line of Royal Sappers, who at 14 ft was with his company in the retirement from Mons, and has been in the fighting line ever since, until he came home on leave a few days ago. FIGHT AT GALLIPOLI DISHEARTENS ALLIES BERNE, Aug. 7.-A Swiss soldier of the French foreign legion, who is fighting at the Dardanelles, has 6ent a gruesome description of the battles on the penninsula of Gallipoli to his parents. In a letter published by a Lausanne paper, he writes: "Gajlipoli is a shambles. We are lighting day and night and never have an hour's rest. Great heaps of dead bodies are all around us and the stench is unbearable. The losses are fearful, but not on the side of the Turks, but on ours. Again and again we are driven against the impregnable positions of the enemy on the hills and cliffs. Sometimes we gain a few yards of ground or a trench at an awful cost, but mostly our attacks are repulsed, or we are driven out of the, conquered position the next day. Some of the Australian and Irish regiments have been entirely wiped out and tbe French troops have suffered almost as badly. I do not believe that I will get out of this hell alive." OFFER SAME COURSES There will be no change In the courses of study in the common schools of the county next fall, said County Superintendent Williams today. The course of study for high schools has not been announced by the state board, but it is probable that little change will be made. The same schools that taught domestic science and agriculture last year will resume the work this fall. Every school in the county has some course of this kind, but advanced courses are only taught in a few of the schools. COUNCILMEN BID RUSSELL GOODBYE A farewell dinner in honor of Professor Elbert Russell's services to the city as a councilman, will be given by 'he city councilmen and city officials tit 7 o'clock next Wednesday night at ae Westcott hotel. Informal speeches expressing regret over Professor Russell's departure from the city, will be n;ade. The program has not been completely arranged.

Most Women Buy Shoes Too Small Nine of every ten girls and women wear shoes from one to two sizes toe small for them is the estimate of Richmond shoe clerks. Women's shoes range In size from one to eight and the shoes most used by them are from four and a half to five and a half, B and C. Extreme diplomacy must be used the clerks say in fitting the foot of a woman and occasionally he sue ceeds in having her purchase a pair of shoes which fit ber at the same time leaving her under the impression that the shoe she bought is smaller than it really is. One cjerk tells this story of woman, who having bought a pair. Indignantly returned to exchange them. Opening tbe package containing the shoes, she thrust it at the clerk and said: "These shoes hurt my feet. I wear a four and a half C. These are not that size are they? I want shoes that fit me." The clerk glanced at the number of the shoe and replied; "No lady, these are not four and a half C's. They are number sevens." The woman flushed a deep red, took the shoes under her arm and left the store without uttering another word, according to the clerk. MANY TEACHERS FAIL County Superintendent Williams has not completed the list of teachers for the county schools, but is waiting the result of tbe examinations held here last Saturday. Several teachers fell below the mark at the previous examination, and unless they passed the test last Saturday, they will not be granted licenses.

Chautauqua Notes Advance Information About Program and Speakers of 1915 Assembly.

As soon as it was known that Anthony Fiala bad been obliged t ca eel all his Chautauqua dates for this summer, tbe program committee took immediate steps to secure tbe most prominent man available to fill bis place. The unanimous choice of the committee waa United States Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio. Tbe only objection raised was that some of the committee thought Senator Harding should be reserved for one of the big headiiners for tbe 1015 assembly! Senator Harding is a comparatively young man, prominent in big affairs in bis state and enjoys the distinction of being the first man elected to tbe United States Senate from Ohio by popular vote. In politics be is a very broad-minded Republican, keenly alive to the interests of his party, and if the TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS ORDER YEAR'S GOAL Bids were received Friday afternoon from twelve concerns desiring to furnish supplies for the Wayne township schools next year.

Hard-working Scribes Fail to Land "Scoop

It was rumored around the Pennsylvania depot yesterday that Champ Clark would pas through Richmond and there was foundation for the rumor for the speaker bad wired ahead for reservations on tbe 9:30 p. mtrain for St. Louis. This information reached the ears of a reporter who "covers" the depot and he determined to get an inter view of the distinguished visitor and haunted the station platform all day. In fact be was there so frequently and being a stranger, aroused the suspicion of the "gum shoe" squad and he was questioned closely as to bis family history. It was not known when Speaker Clark would arrive but the idea prevailed that he would come on the 9:15 train in the evening. As that hour approached another reporter who had beard the rumor down town, dashed madly Into the station and the pair decided to hook interests and share the glory of a "scoop." When tbe train finally arrived the two ambitious young men dashed madly through every car looking wildly jr every direction for the speaker, who did not arrive.

Republican-Progressive' Interests are to ' be reunited . Senator' Harding will be one -of tbe men who will be Instrumental In bringing tt about. He is a forceful, convincing speaker, already well known to the ehauUue.ua platform, and his election to the Senate last fall has given him added Prestige. While his subject is not yet announced his address will be full of interest and of vital importance to this community. Senator Harding is also a Chautauqua enthusiast and is a direc. tor of the Marion. Ohio, association, which is One of the largest chautauquas in that state. Senator Harding will speak at the

Chautauqua Monday evening, Aug. 23d and his appearance will mark one of the big days of the coming assemmy. NO SNOW IN STATE INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 7. That the hundreds of persons in various sections of Indiana, who declared they saw snowfiakes during the past week were deceived, is tbe positive state ment of J. H. Armington, the Indian spoils weather man. Mr. Armington does not doubt that all these people were absolutely sin cere, but he insists they were mistaken. In proof of his claims the weather forecaster calls attention to the fact that the lowest temperature registered anywhere in Indiana during the chilly spell was 51 degrees above sero. Fahrenheit. In such an atmos phere, he argues, a snowflake wouldn't stand at all. "Sometimes the rays of light pass through raindrops in such a manner as to give them a white appearance, said Mr. Armington, "and make them resemble snow. It might fool a per son many times into tbe belief that it really was snow when it is nothing more than moisture in the air. No frost was reported anywhere in the United States during the past week. A. Bi C. Continued From Page One warned Secretary Lansing that laying of an embargo on arms might prove a strlous matter. They asked him what the position of the United atates would be in the event that an arms embargo was enforced against every one except the de facto government it was plan ned to recognize, and then Carranza, with the material at bis disposal, wip ed out the recognized government. This was. one of the matters thatjeent over for iurmer consideration. Lower 3 and 4 in car one, had been reserved at the ticket office and think ing that perhaps in some mysterious way the legislator would try to dodge an interview because such embarrassing questions bad been prepared . as "what do you think of the President's policy in the present war?" "Are you going to be a candidate for the presidency again?" "Were you disappointed when you did not get the Baltimore nomination?" one reporter stationed himself at the window and "Hawksbawed" every purchaser of sleeping car tickets while the other prowled around the station thinking maybe that the man they were seeking was hiding in a hot box. The search was fruitless, however, for the "man from Missouri" did not put in an appearance and two disheveled and disappointed reporters wended their weary way homeward.

CAPETO1 TAKES ONLY BOAT IN WAVYJF HAITI Admiral Becomes -. Virtual Dictator of Island and Be- : - gins to Bring About Peace: WASHINGTON. Aug. 7. Admiral Caperton- today reported to the state department the capture of the Haitian navy the gunboat Pacifique at Port-au-Prince. His report contained no reference to the fight for possession of the customs bouse, which press dispatches said resulted in the killing of one Haitian by the American forces. Admiral Caperton stated that when the Paeiflque entered the harbor at Port-au-Prince yesterday he sent an officer aboard to instruct the commander to draw up along side tbe wharf. When this was done he said he placed a crew of Americans aboard as guards. The return of the collier Jason was also reported, but no mention was made of the peace commission which was supposed to have been on t. Caperton has been forced to become a virtual dictator in Haiti. He has organized a new peace committee, composed of citizens to run the government, he advised the state depart menL AU government functions are performed by this committee at his direction. Minister Menos. of. Haiti, today received a protest against the occupation by tbe American forces at Port-au-Prince of the national palace, the barracks and forts. SUES FQR DIVORCE.

PARRY Continued From Page One alent to become a matter of concern to its inhabitants and to necessitate the institution of remedial measures. When it is realized that the great majority of tuberculosis victims are of an age when they would be most productive to tbe community, the economic phase of their loss should re ceive careful attention. What About the Future? The question has been asked, what win oe accompusnedT Will any action be taken toward in stigating remedial measures? This pan be answered in the, affirmauve, Decause, in tne nrst puce, tut community is abundantly able to finance the necessary measures, and secondly, the county and. city officials are too intelligent and tbe citizens generally too public spirited to allow their city and county to lag behind in the campaign now being universally waged in combatting this plague, the greatest scourge of mankind. Other counties in the state are taking action and the campaign is being successfully conducted in neighboring states, therefore, Wayne county will be found in line and Its progressiveness in the interest of its tuberculosis sufferers will be demonstrated.
