Two royal princes, Friedrich S'gismund and Friedrich Karl of Prussia, sons of Prince Friedrich Leopold of Prussia, who recently transferred from the crack cavalry regiments to which they belonged to the flying corps, have inaugurated their entry into the aerial forces by making a call, via aeroplane, on old-time oflicer friends stationed here. One Saturday afternoon a big ae roplane suddenly appeared over Han nover, and after some manoeuvering landed near the huge casino be longing to the King's Uhlans' regi ment. iWhen the occupants of the plane had climbed out and tsripped off their headgear, goggles and other paraphernalia so as to be recogniza ble they were hailed as the two popu lar princes. They spent the night in Hannover, and on Sunday flew back to their present station, Doeber itz.

Washington, Feb. 28. Prohibition and anti-prohibition forces in the house lined up today for a final de termined fight over the senate bill to make the district of Columbia dry. Opponents of the measure had a chance to force a filibuster by de manding a roll call on a dozen amend ments (As it came from the senate the bill did not provide for a referen dum. Another determined fight will be made on the postoffi.ee appropriation bill in abandoning the Reed bone-dry proh bition amendment because of the hopeless deadlock. Another amend ment embodying the Reed amendment has been introduced in the house, and the anti-prohibitionists are working against its passage. Prohibitiionist5. are gloomy over the outlook. Cook's Revenge. In the peaceful quietude of a sum mer evening, a red-faced cook nut her head out of the window of a sub urban house and shouted: "Thieves! Police !" at the top of her lungs. Instantly all was confusion. The neighbors left their houses, and a per spiring policeman came reluctantly up the steps of an area opposite and com menced a search for the marauders. But not a soul could he find. Every thing in the. house was In apple-pie or der, and, after looking about for some time, he left in disgust. "Martha, why in the world did you give that false alarm?" her mistress asked her afterwards. "To have my revenge on the police man, ma'am," Martha candidly con fessed. "The brute's thrown me over for the cook across the way, and he was just sitting down to supper there when I called out 'Police!' and made him run. Now the grub will be cold, und I know from experience, ma'am, that if there's anything on earth that makes Robert wish hisself dead, lt'8 cold rabbit-pie !" Tit-Bits. Close Observer. The day was windy. Her skirts were short. Likewise they werefsilken und ma:Ie full at the hem. Her waist was cut low. "There goes a girl," said Traffic Pa trolman Brown, "that ought to be made to wear more clothes. It's scanda lous. But I don't know as the law could make her do It." "No, you can't pinch her for that," agreed his friend, Patrolman Mike Kirby, in the noon comment at the meeting of the beats, "but I tell you what you could do." Kirby surveyed her ankles of pln ;ike slehderness dubiously. "You might pinch her for having no visible means of support." St. Paul Pioneer Press. Sound Thoughts Sound Body. You may have a well body, but you must begin to build it with your word. Instead of laying up weak and sick word in your body, begin now to speak the word, of strength and health and keep it up. Don't look at what has been. Lot's wife tried that, and she never got beyond the past. Clear out of your mind all this rubbish about uric acid, gallstone, etc., and you will find that none of them has lodgment In your body. The thought makes the body and determines the condition it lives In. Thoughts of health are living, eternal things, and they work with their Irresistible power of almightlnesr; to tone np the organism to their own high key of harmony and capability. Unity. ' m - " t Necessary Secrecy. "I Titnessed a queer episode tfcla afternoon," said the city cousin who was visiting in Wayrverbehlnd. "As I j was strolling past an alley I heard, J emanating from the open door of a barn, such peculiar sounds that I was moved to investigate. Peering n, I , discovered a portly man standing on a ; box, sawing the air with elaborate gestures and at the same time shout ing defiantly and whispering hissingly. And the strangest part was that he was not saying an intelligible word, but was uttering meaningless babble, like 'Hobbensy-gobbensy, shlng, shang, ; tandigo poo!' and so on." ! "Oh, that's Hon. Heck Hooper," replied the village cousin, "and that Jibberish is a sort of a cipher. You see, he is running for the legislature and is practicing up a new speech which he expects to be a sockdolager. And he's afraid his opponents will eteal his well-chosen words before he gets 's oration down pat." Kansas MANY SEEK PLACES ON BASEBALL TEAM Coach R. W. Carver of the Lenoir College baseball squad has been tak ing advantage of the fine warm weath er of the last few days by driving the candidates through severe prac tice. There are four or five men trying for each position and with this abundance of material the process of elimination will be a difficult task when it beg'ns. At present, how ever, the coach is only looking the entire bunch over for the brightest prospects and it is presumed that within the next week he will have a good line on his men as to hteir abil ity for playing certain positions. lAt present each man whether an old player or a new one is getting an effual chance. The most work be ing done now is a practice at hit ting the ball which is a very essential part of the game and indications point to the fact that Lenoir will have a heavier hitting team this year than she did last year with equ al improvements in other phases of teh game.

The convenience of the camera has been further increased by the addition of a means for accurately judging the actinic value of the light at the time of making a picture, and therebv ar riving at the correct length of expo sure to oe given the sensitive film, says the Scientific American. The ment relates particularly to those cameras wnich carry a roll film. As these films are now made they are backed with a sheet of black or red paper for the purpose of protecting them from the light, and they havt. imprinted on them numbers which ap pear under a tiny opening in the back of the camera and serve as a guide to the operator in properly spacing the exposures on the film. The new scheme, in addition, contemplates at taching to the backing paper, pieces of sensitized paper at regular inter vals which pass along under another opening, and by observing the change which takes place In the color of these pieces as they are exposed under the opening, the operator is enabled to ar rive at the length of time the shutter to be opened in maki ng tbi exposure for the fiesired picture.

Berlin, Feb. 28 Approximately 75,000 Berlin families will take up gardening on a small scale during the coming spring. The number of these "volunteer gardeners" which had been ju above 2,000 before the war, had increased to some G6,000 last summer and fall, and gives every indication of going h'gher this com ing spring. One result of the tremendous cam paign for gardens, which make the Evrlirvar partly independent of the market, has been to clean up count less unsightly empty lots, especially in the suburbs, which in peace times had been used for dumping grounds and all sorts of other purposes. Many tennis courts have been sacrificed to peas and beans and potatoes. ;The original gardeners in Berlin were the members of the so-called "Bower Colony," which has patrioti cally divided up and shared its land, letting it for a trifling amount, or for nothing, to Berliners who ex pressed a des're to raise their own vegetables. 'The official membership of the "Colony" has increased since the beginning of the war from 2,000 to 14 000, and the unofficial- "colo nists" those who rent or own plots of ground mum.ber more than 46, 000 more already. The Red Cross also has been acquiring land and turning it over to wounded soldiers to till. DOING THEIR DUTY i WAmsi i - it 8 ROOM COTTAGE Close in. Phone 64.
