Captain Paul said there were no hypehnates in the battery and that a man v-ho questioned their loyalty would be mobbed without further adoo. "Hey," yelled one member, "What do you think of this? Every lodge in the United States Is represented In this car- Just name a lodge and I'll call out a member sitting in this car." OFFERED TO ACQUAINT MAN WITH 8HRAPNEL.

V CANNON ATTRACT ATTENTION The canvas-covered cannon of the - First Pennsylvania artillery attracted much attention and . interest. The pieces shoot 3-inch shrapnels. It was the first time hundreds of residents had seen so many guns. SCOUTS EARN DINNER. The Boy Scouts were busy as bees last night. W. M.

John thanked him for the invitation, but declined the offer. CITY LEADS FOUR STATES. "The best in four states," said an artilleryman of Battery F, whose' head had been closely cropped by the barber of the battery. "That's the brand of loyalty makes you feel like fighting for your country." CARRY ARMY STOVES TO WARM THEIR FOOD. The First Pennsylvania Artillery will not undergo the ordeal of the Seventh regiment "of New -York infantry which went five days without a warm meal, giving rise to a condition that has aroused protest from all military authorities who know that a soldier must have warm food every forty-eight hours. car wUh e section, and a field stove was provided to warm the food.

"Gee. this is a real town," cried the trooper, as he demanded a pencil. GIRLS GIVE NAMES TO SOLDIER HEROES Shy Quaker lasses though they are, Richmond girls are not losing any opportunities to increase their acquaintance among the opposite sex.

DRAWS GENERAL VILLA One of the most unique postcards mailed for the troopers from Pennsylvania yesterday was a sketch of General Villa, drawn in pencil on an ordinary postcard. COOKS TAKE ON WATER. When the cooks of Batteries B and F saw a water plug at the Pennsylvania station yesterday afternoon, they wasted no time in filling large milk cans with good Richmond water: The last can was lifted into the car as the train started to pull out.

The members of this corps are: George Bayer, George Mathews, Gus Pfafflin, Don Warfel, Joseph Schaefer, Harry McBrlde and W. S. McGuire. Send Messages Home. An effort was made to provide every soldier with a stamped souvenir post card. A " majority of the troopers promptly took advantage of sending word home, volunteers carrying the cards to the station mail box, which nearly burst with its burden of soldier messages, the majority of which began, "Dear Mother" and ended with enthusiastic expressions of appreciation over the welcome the regiment had received in Richmond. Hundreds of issues of the Palladium were distributed to the soldiers, who eagerly scanned the pages for the latest news from the Mexican border. ' Delicacies of all descriptions were heaped upon the beaming and hungry troopers by men, women and children. Even the regimental mascots, a large bull dog and a small, shaggy pup, barked acknowledgment of these gifts. The regimental surgeons, however, scowled their disapproval.

USES FIGURES Continued From Page Or.e. on Saturday would amount to 1,877 vehicles and 2,407 foot passengers, Mr. Mills explained. In the count for Monday which was taken for an average week day it was found that in fourteen hours 1,582 vehicles and 2 216 foot passengers crossed the Whitewater at Main street. At this rate in .the six days 9,492 vehicles cross the temporary struc ture and 13,296 foot passengers. This added to the Saturday count and di vided by seven makes a daily average of 2,252 foot passengers and 1,756 vehicles, Mr. Mills said. Estimates Daily Tonnage. "Figuring these, including the loads at 1.25-tons for ' autos, 1.5 tons for auto trucks, .75 tons for horse drawn vehicles and 250 pounds for motorcycles, we have a daily tonnage of 1,756. "The average cost per ton mile on public roads in Europe is eight cents. The average cost per ton mile on public roads in this country is twentythre cents. To pull up. the court house hill will cost not less than that on an average road, twenty-three Cents per ton - mile. To traverse this on the proposed high level bridge will rot cost more than the average European road, eight cents per ton mile. Hill . Makes Difference. "The difference of fifteen cents on a ton mile may be taken as the difference between pulling up the court house hill and pulling over the proposed high level bridge. "A person on foot or on a bicycle cannot afford to climb the court house I V,;i1 fAr- o ronnv lint in ho ontirelv To Have Perfect Skin Throughout the Summer These days the face needs special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt, the. heating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling, effects are best overcome by the application of pure mercolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the complexion beautifully white and spotless. Discolored, freckled and roughened cuticle are actually absorbed by.it. One ounce of mercolized wax obtainable at any drug store, is sufficient to completely renovate a soiled complexion. It is used like cold cream, allowed to ' remain on over 'night, and washed off in the morning, j As the skin tends to expand in I warm weather, causing wrinkles to form, a good astringent lotion should be used. Dissolve 1 oz. powdered saxolite in Pt- witch hazel. Bathe the face in this during the heat of the day or before going out for theatre or social affair. It is a remarkable skin tightener and wrinkle eraser. Adv. "2-in-One" Tires Solve Your Tire Troubles Bring us two old tires, one that is rim-cut but with a good or fair tread, the other with a good bead, though it may be worn thin or have a blow-out. We cut the bead off the top one and cement the two firmly together, then sew them, not with a machine that leaves them rough inside, but perfectly smooth, thereby not injuring your tubes. We ha-e had lots of satisfied customers under the old way but our new method is better and costs no more.

"This ia tho biggest financial propo; sftlorJ before Rlchmord today," Mr. Mills declared. "Suppose the high level bridge will cost $200,000 mere than a bridge on the present grade. Where else can you buy $500,000 wcrth for $200,000. "The interest on the additional $200,000 at four per cent will amount to $8,000 annually. While the community will be saving $20,000 by driving over a level bridge instead of climb ing the court hcuse hill. The saving of $12,000 annually would pay for the whole cost of the improvement before the thirty-five year bonds would become due. and the community would have a magnificent improvement with out one cent of real cost. Omits Trolley Traffic. "These figures take no account of the street car and trolley car traffic which would amount to a considerable sum in addition to the amounts above shown." A committee of five was appointed to take the foregoing report to the county commissioners at the meeting a week from tomorrow. This com mittee is composed of George H Knollenberg, . Adam H. Bartel, the Rev. Mr. Mills and C. M. Jenkins.
