The police pipe band bad been sadly
depleted by the departure of all the
eligible members, and an effort was
made to get others to fill their places.
"There's old Donald," said the super-
intendent to tho pipe major; "he's a
Highlander, and HI bet you he's been
a piper In his younger days. Try him."
Donald was, accordingly, tackled on
the subject of Joining the band, so
that It would be efficient to welcome
the boys home from the front when
that eventful day came. But Donald
protested that be knew "nothing wbat-
i ever of music nor of ta pipes at all."
"Come, come, now," said the pipe ma-
jor, "you don't mean to tell me that
you don't know how many beats thera
are In a bar?" "And lt'a me that's not
knowing at all how many beats are In
a bar, but," replied Donald, brighten-
ing and lowering his voice, "It's yer-
aelf that could be telling you how
many bars there are in tha beat."—

Actual Bulli.n Value.
The United States realizes the dif-
ference between the actual bullion
valne of the gold or sliver in the coins
It Issues and the money value It places
on them by coinage and by its stamp
of approval. The gold and silver coin.
Issued by tho government are not pure
gold or silver, but ara alloyed with
copper to the extent of making them
900 parts fine, as required by law. If
made of pure gold or silver they would
be too soft and the copper alloy of
100 parts In 1,000 is for the purpose
of hardening them. The difference be-
tween the nominal or face value of a
coin and its bullion value at tb. mo-
ment of coining represents a profit to
the government which is supposed to
/•over the coat of coinage.
The estimated daily production of
heavy gravity oil in the Gulf Coast

"FIGHTING SAMMY"
Philadelphia, June 23.—"Fighting
Sammv" Katcher, lightweight cham-
pion of the United States marines,
won his title in one punch down in
Nicaragua. Now he is busy urging all
eligible young men to rally round the
banner of the "soldier-sailors," and is
using his gifts as an orator to win
them over.
Sergeant Katcher won his title
when the marines were on an expedi-
tion to the Central American repub-
lic, right after a lively affair with rev-
olutionists in which bayonte were
used instead of boxing gloves. It took
exactly three seconds for Katcher
to convince his adversary that there
was only one marine lightweight
champion. Since that timet no one
has disputed the title.
During a recent visit of Jess Wil-
lard to this city Katcher boxed the
champion three rounds-, the big fel-
low, who is a friend of Katcher's,
consenting to help along in the cam-
paign for recruits. In the language
of the ring, "Fighting Sammy packs
a punch," both as s nflldier and re-
cruiter.

and children alike may serve effec-
tively by making it possible to care
properly for those who serve under
arms at home and abroad;
"And inasmuch as the American
lied Cross is the official recognized
agency for voluntary effort in behalf
of the armed forces of the nation
und for the administration of relief;
"Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as president of the United
States and president of the American
Rod Cross, I Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week ending
June 25, 1917, as Red Cross week,
during which the people of the

patriotic, sacrifice for the support
and maintenance of this work of na-

WHAT WE FIGHT FOR
"The right is more precious
than peace, and we fight for
the things we have always car-
ried nearest our hearts—for
democracy, for the right of
those who submit to authority
t'o have a voico in their own
government, for the rights and
liberties of small nations, for o
a universal dominion of right o
by such a concert of free peo- o
pies as shall bring peace and o
safety to all nations and make o
the world itself at last free." o

growth ot turtles and tortoise. 1. very
slow, and that they live to be hundred*
of year. old. The impression baa been
leneral as regards the gigantic tor-

Zoological park finds, on th. contrary,
that they grow rather rapidly. A spe-
cimen received at the "Zoo" ten year®
ago has increased In weight from ona
Hundred and forty to over three han-
dled pounds. Moreover, condition. In
