QUILT MADE BY SLAVE CENTURY AGO UNEARTHED Piece in Possession of Mrs. Josephine Williams, Nate Edwards Writes. (Bv Nate Edwards.) ECONOMY, Ind., Dec. 26. In old cedar cliests and presses there are many quilts that are more than 100 years old and show the beautiful handwork or artistic skill a century ago. One of this variety was found at the home of Mrs. Josephine Williams today. It is called "Wheel in the Mill." It contains six large wheels and each wheel is made up of hundreds of little pieces of blue and white muslin. But the most interesting part was the linen thread it was sewed together with, which was spun by an old slave by the name of Jane Hill. She also designed and made the quilt 100 years ago. Perry township showed her loyalty again. The Red Cross committee made a drive over the township for 1918 membership and one can see hundreds of Red Cross "service cards" hanging in windows in every home in the patriotic little township. The Junior Red Cross society sent taeh of the boys who are In training camps getting in shape to go to France and do battle for all people who are righting for liberty and justice, a nice box of candy. Those remembered were Peter O. Beckman, Fort Benjamin Harrison; Walter Bond, Camp Taylor, and Harry Parker, Camp Shelby. The Christmas entertainment at the M. E. church Sunday niKht was good.

A card was read from Harry Parker, who Is in training at Camp Shelby, Miss., which contained Christmas greetings to all. At the Morgan Creek Friends church a treat was given Sunday morning for the Sunday schol and members of the church. Last Thursday and Friday was examination days. There will be one w eek of vacation. Mrs. Johnny Williams and children, Harry. Dugon and Ruby, left for Fort Wayne Mouday morning to spend the holidays. Mi3s Christine Beckman is trying country life with Mr. and Mrs. Gua WpjI this week. Miss Mary Mumbower of Economy was the over-Sunday visitor of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pierce. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Oler attended the Mrs. John Needier funeral at Muncie Saturday. John Hansard and son Eugene of Cadiz were guests of relatives here Sunday. WORLD PLOT Continued From Page Ont. for the Industrial Workers of the World in this country, although it was '.aid a full report on the mysterious .irso has not yet been forwarded by officials at the port of arrival. Only One of Many Signs. The Shilka incident is only one of many cases leading officials to believe the connection between plotters in several of the allied countries may be more tangible than the indefinite link of moral sympathy. Certain Irish agitators and I. W. W. leaders recently have gone from the United States to Russia, after being in close touch with each other here, and reports have been received that Bolshevikl organizers would come to America before long to spread their doctrine of direct action for communal organization. No objection will be raised by the Government to any agitation which does not interfere with the progress of the war, officials declare. Officials do not intend to use the war agencies a3 an excuse for suppressing free speech except in so far 8s tt leads to hampering the Govern- . ment In the fight against the Central Powers. Permits Drastic Action. This basis of Judgment, however, is recognized as broad, and will permit drastic action against foreign agents whose conduct directly fofcters Germany's war hlm3. Action will be particularly swift, officials say, when armed resistance to the law is threatened and when other material forces are employed by the Agitators. Customs inspection will serve to rrevent importation of arms and the close supervision of crews of incoming and outgoing vessels Is expected to make impossible the traffic or communications on a large scale intended i) foster revolutionary activity. There still are means of importing money into the United States, but Government agents can trace remittances and keep a watchful eye on suspicious ponditures. Exports of money are governed so ttrlctly by the Government that offi--.lalti are certain that the chance of American financing of revolutions in -ther countries Is slight. Menace Remains Strong. Although prosecution of I. W. W. loaders recently has been vigorous officials have evidence which they claim ihows that the menace of this organisation, believed to be supported largely by German money, remains strong. Further action against the agitators 's forecast. This will be hastened if It is found that the band is working with Russian Bolshevik! leaders to bring about a premature peace in Germany's interest or to hamper America at home.

Heart and Home Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am a girl with brown hair, blue eyes, a straight nose and very good complexion. My upper lip is a good cupid's bow but the lower one is thick. Can you tell me how to remedy this? (2) Do you think it is all right for young girls to write to soldiers that they do not know? I got the names from friends and these are boys who have no parents-or relatives to write to them. (3) What shall 1 1 do to make a boy stop wanting to kiss I me every time he I is with me? He al ways asks first and I say no, but I can't ' give him very good reasons and so does it anyway. I hate it because it almost makes me sick and "jesides it shows disrespect. For awhile I quit having anything to do with him, but I can't keep that up because I really like him and I had taken him in hand in the first place to make a better young man of him. He stopped'smoking and curbed his language and took an interest in his school work, but when I had paid no attention to hii.i ;ilo:it a month he went back to thr cid habits and got some awful grades in school. ESTHLLE. (1) Practically the only thing that, will make your lower lip appear thin is for you to practice holding it tightly against your teeth. After you have done this for a while whenever you think of it you will find that your lip will naturally stay in that position and of course will look thinner. (2) Yes, under ths circumstances it is all right. Be very careful what you write, though. Do not write love letters or say anything to show that, the boys are missed back home, but in Men Within Draft To Qualify Draftables can become aviators. Men within the ages of the draft are not barred from service as a pilot or balloon man in the signal service. Captain J. S. Reeves, former Richmond attorney, and now a reserve officer in the signal corps, and president of the aviation examining board at Indianapolis, in a statement issued Wednesday said: "Applications for examinations in the aviation section of the signal corps are still being accepted for pilots and balloon men and applicants who pass the examination will be enlisted as first-class privates, in the aviation section, signal enlisted reserve corps, and then will be under waiting orders until they are called to their training schools. Not True for Flyers. "While voluntary enlistments generally closed for all branches of the army Dec. 15, this is not true with reference to those who wish to mak application for the aviation section in the pilot or balloon division branches. This is due to the fact that practicaly all the material for these branches is, to be found among those of draft age the age for pilots being from 19 to 25 and for the balloon division from 19 to 30. "Doubtless through a misunder standing young men have enlisted in other branches of the service, think-1 ing that th e aviation section was j

An Italian statesman visiting this country was bo greatly impressed with the ingenious use of waste material that he asked for two models to take back to Italy, one to give to his wife to inspire similar thrift among the Italian women and the other to present to the queen. Rachel Crothers, chairman of the stage women's war relief, Olive Oliver, Christine Blessing, Mrs. Henry B. Harris, Daisy Humfrays, Maude O'Dell, Grace Reals, Mrs. Ollendorf, Jean Chamblin, Gladys Alberga, Helen Ware, Minnie Dupree, Florence Parker, Louise Drew, Chrystal Heme, Frances Starr, Kathryn fiutterfield, May Herbert and Harriet Fumade are among the actresses who are busy utilizing the old gloves.

stead encourage them and show them that the country is backing them to the limit. (3) You have either to talk to him in such a way. that he will know you mean what you say, or else you will have to stop going with him. He may be of the opinion that you act differently with him than with other boys, but you must show him that you are too young to be in love and therefore must not be too affectionate. The fact that this boy went back to his bad habits shows that he was not permanently cured of them and that your influence was only temporary. He must reform because, he wants to please you. When he sees that it is wrong for him to continue hrs bad habits he will then have to have the strength to stop permanently. You can help him to do this, but not by sympathy or affection, as much as by severity and real desire. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have very Ions eyelashes. At the ends they curl ! up and do not show the prettiness and how long they are. (1) Could you suggest something that I could put on them so that they would be straight to show the prettiness of them? (2) At what age should a girl go with a boy steady? (3) What furs are more popular this season? L. E. R. (1) Anything you put on your eyelashes will make them look artificial and will spoil your beauty. (2) About eighteen or over. (3) Several furs are very popular this vcar: seal, muskrat, raccoon and fox. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it all right for a girl to speak to a boy on the street without being introduced? He always lifts his hat when he meets me and he is a nice boy. Please tell me if I should speak to him first or wait until he does. SCHOOL GIRL. You musn't speak to him until you have been introduced. After the introduction, it is the girl who should speak first. Ages Permitted As Flying Fighters closed. Others have not made application, thinking that the general rule applied to the aviation section. "When a successful applicant is called to training school his pay begins at once, at the rate of $100 per month, and upon conclusion of bis course of training, which is from three to six months, he is commissioned as a second lieutenant, aviation section signal officers' reserve corps. In Session - Every Day. "Captain J. S. Reeves, A. S., S. O. R. C, and First Lieutenant B. J. Larkin, M. R. C, are in charge of the aviation examining board, while Captain E. DeW. Wales, M. R. C, is in charge of the physical examining unit. "The board is in session every day from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., except Sundays and holidays. "Any young man who is desirous of entering this service and wishes more information or an application for examination may have same by writing or applying to the offices of the board, 09 Hume-Mansur building, Indianapolis, Ind."

NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR'S BABY AND WHAT IT REVEALED There i3 nothing in the world so pitiful to witness as the suifering of a baby. We all realized this when the maid from the apartment across the hall from mine rushed into my living room holding in her arms a liny baby, rigid and blue as it were already dead. "Is the baby dead?" she gasped, her face convulsed with grief and fear. "My madam is at the theatre, and the baby has been fretty for two hours, and just a minute ago he stiffened oiit like this. Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" she began to sob. "Stop that!" Lillian Gale's voice rang out like a trumpet. "The baby iy not dead. It is in a convulsion. Give It to me and run back to your apartment and bring me some warm blankets." Of the six people at our little chafing dish supper, so suddenly interrupted, she was the only one who knev,what to do. I had been able to quiet Mrs. Lester's hysteria by telling her at once that the baby was not her own, as she had so widely imagined, but was helpless before the baby's danger. Lillian's orders came thick and fast. "Mrs. Graham, quick, get the wash boiler, a foot bath, anything big enough to put this baby in. Put some hot water in it and bring it here, with some dry mustard. Dicky, Harry, Frank, one of you phone for a doctor. Daisy, stop crying and help me here." As she spoke she had taken th? baby from the maid and was deftly undressing the tiny, rigid body. I rushed to the kitchen to find Katie already filling a foot bath, a relic of my boarding house days, with hot water. "I hear, Missis Graham, 1 tink I got it ready quecck, she said as she worked. "That was splendid, Katie," I answered gratefully, snatching the mustard from its shelf and hurrying back followed by Katie bearing the tub. "Daisy, take the baby a minute," Mrs. Underwood laid the unconscious infant in Mrs. Lester's trembling arms and, plunging up her loose sleeve to the shoulder, plunged her elbow into the water. "Just right," she commented. "Here she held out her hand for the mustard and I handed it to her. She shook a liberal portion into the water. "Stir that around so that it will dissolve," she said. As I did so she took the baby from Mrs. Lester's arms and, kneeling, immersed the little body in the hot water. j "Hold him while I rub him," she said to me. I obeyed her but as I took the baby in my arms she noticed my face. I had never held a baby in my life and I was afraid I might drop or injure it. Please

She was rubbing the tiny limbs vigorously, yet tenderly, as she spoke. "Yes, Missis Underwood." Katie dashed forward, eager, alert to help. "Bring me a woolen blanket. We can't wait for that idiot." "All right." Katie dashed for my bedroom door, but the appearance of the maid laden with blankets stopped hre. She came back and, snatching a blanket from the other girl, held it ready for Mrs. Underwood's need. "Put it on the steam pipe. Katie," Mrs. Underwood looked up an instant and smiled at the girl " and stand right by it, ready to hand it to me when I tell you." She kept up her rubbing, while I held the baby, afraid to breathe. The maid had fallen on her knees and was praying silently. Mrs. Lester, herfacs showing her struggle between her desire to help and her longing to rush home to her own baby, was beside us. Katie stood like a sentinel at the steam pipe. Dicky was at the telephone, where I could hear hirn trying to get, the number of a physician in the next block. Mr. Lester and Mr. Underwood stood helplessly near him. "There," Lillian's voice, in its relief, betrayed the anxiety she had felt, "he's coming out of it." . I could detect no movement of the little body, and I looked inquiringly at! her. His eyelids are twitching," she said in answer to my look. To be continued 1 CHESTER, IND.

Americans, The French people cannot understand why the American soldiers in France a,re so "jolly and good-natured" says Elmer H. RuBsell, of Norwood, O.; who has often visited his relatives and who is a private in the expeditionary forces over there, in a letter received here. The French, their one-time smile gone, now have only the stem serious look of people who have suffered terribly. "After we have been in the trenches for three years we will lose some of our good nature too," he says. "There are millions of men over here, all in uniform of either khaki or the French uniform which is blue grey. I have been over here for over two months and have seen hardly two dozen men who were not in a uniform of some kind." Expects Action Soon. In another letter, dated Nov. 29, he says he expects to go into action within a month. "The French are using mostly paper money and when we get paid off in French money they have to give it to us in bales. About the only sensible thing a fellow can buy is a pipe. These pipes are the best things they have in France and I think I'll take a cartload of 'em along home with me when I go back. "Before I came over here I was told of the many beautiful girls France boasted of. After a casual observation I think I will bet my spare cash on the girls in the U. S. A.

Bolshevik Envoy to England is in Jail LONDON, Dec. 11. By Mail. Comrade George T6itserin, who has been appointed by the Bolshevikias Russian ambassador to London, is still in Brixton jail, in Southeast London, on a charge of circulating seditious propaganda. Tsiterin is well known to London socialists. Exiled from Russia, many years ago, he lived in Belgium until the outbreak of the war, when "he came to London. He is described by his friends as a man of condiserable intelligance, of good family, and independent. He is a minimalist or Menshevik rather than a Maximalist or Bolsheviki, although the distinction is no longer very marked. Tsitserin's life In interment is similar to that of a prisoner awaiting trial. He is allowed to order bis meals from outside, can have any books and 'papers which he wishes to read, and is permitted to do a certain amount of visiting. Another prominent Bolsheviki. who is well known in London, is Lieutenant Schneur, one of the Lenine representatives in the peace parleys. He was in London less than a month, before his appearance as a member of the peace parley committee and several of his relatives are still here.
