African Natives Conduct Vehicles
Along Jungle Tracks After 8hort
term of Apprenticeship.
It Is natural that slnco' automobiles
hare found Ihelr way luto every part
of the world, the driver* would vary
In appearance, and In attire or lack of
attire, according to the customs of the'
countries In which the motor car Is
called to do service. If you were to
walk along the road leading from the
west coast <>f equatorial Africa several '
hundred miles Info (he^rii^TTof, for
instance, you might see a motor truck,
plowlnp through the jungle, and In
the chauffeur's seat, driving with pe
culiar and cheerful abandon, would be
a west African native. And from the
appearance of his driver's uniform, It
would be evident that the high cost
of clothing would bother Mm not one
wblt. These natives becdine full
fledged chauffeurs within three or four
weeks from the time thdy nee their
flrat motor vehicle. The trucks, of
which there are about 200, maintain
regular schedules aa feeders to a large
*teamshlp line plying between west
African porta and fcurope and Amer
ica. They are loaded with men snU
supplies on the inland trips, and with

Parasite Spreads Disease,
A peculiar disease that Is stilt con
fined chiefly to certain river valleys of
Japan, hut suggests possibilities of
breaking loose as a widespread epi
demic, lias been a subject of recent in
vestigation. It If* known as "tsut
sugainushl," and In transmitted by the
"akamushl.v an Ipsect parasite of cer
tain field mice. It Is a fever striking
ly similar to typhus and Rocky mount
ain spotted fevers. The Investlgatdra
have learned that Its chief occurrence
Is In the months of Juue to October,
which Is the time of development of
the Insect carriers, and the seuson
when the peasant victims of the dis
ease are brought Into contact will)
the mice. The mortality, though very
variable, sometimes exceeds 50 per
cent. Under existing conditions, bites
by the Insects cannot be wholly
avoided, and cutting out the bitten
part does not prevent the spread of
the virus, while such remedies as
Iodine, mercury, arsenic, quinine and
1 dyes have proven Ineffective. The
only hope of stamping out the disease
seemH to rest In the extermination of
the field miee.

When the hlatory of the greats! of
?II war* Ih written, these American
birds will have their mimes In the
annals.
It will he told how the Huns were
organized Into shotgun squads to kill
the winged messengers, hut how 98
per cent of them outdistanced the bul
lets and "homed" with messages that
euabled American artillery to locate
and silence the enemy guns, to destroy
trains of the foes' ammunition and to

re-enforcements and timely rescues.

Mocker." with hlsoyo-dantroyed
by a piece of shrapnel and his head a
welder of clotted blood, homed In
splendid time on the morning of Sep*
tember 12, a few minutes after 7
o'clock. In a thick, fog and heavy rain.
Never faltering, he bore tidings of
a particularly ' Important objective
reached and gave the location of sev
eral of the enemy's heavy batteries
which were doing terrible execution on
the advancing American troops.
With the Information American ar
tillerymen were able to silence the
enemy's guns within 20 nilnhtes. The
Mocker's wounds were dressed, he ro
covered and la now In the loft In J?o
tomac park;'
No leas vnllnnt Is the record of
"President Wilson," a huge blue blr<J
of wonderful vitality nnd rapidity of
flight. So gallant was his work dur
ing the operations of the tauks on the
St. Mlhiel front that he received the
commendation of the signal officer of
the "first corps. He was then trans
ferred to tho Mcuse-Argonne sector. <
On the' morning of November 5,
through heavy rain ami fog, nnd with,
a leg shot off. the big blue arrived at
his loft with nn Important message.
This was bis second flight on this
front and he made over 20 kilometers
(12% miles). In 21 minutes. "President
Wilson" also recovered ami Is now
In Ihe Hall of nonor of the American"
pigeon service,
Perhaps fhe most heroic bird that
dlied on the American front .was "Cher
Ami." He carried n tremendously Im
portant message from Grand Pre, on
the Argonne, over 25 miles of hills and
dales, to his loft In Rampont.
He shot up from behind the Ameri
can breastworks like a rocket. His
pigeonecr saw him falter and flutter
In the air a moment, recover, poise in
mid-air for a second nnd then, like a
flash of light, shopt away with his
head pointing homeward.
At Rampont straight out of the sky
like a plummet he ?ftfopped, striking
his loft breast flrsf'.v *Sergt. Kockler,
his trainer, found the message, tube
was hanging from the ligaments of his
Ifg, and lie had a hole in his breast.
"Cher Ami" died from his wounds and
his body Is mounted In the Smithsonian
institute. ,
Perhaps the busiest bird on the
American front was "Spike." "Spike"
is the color of the sky, flies like
greased lightning and eluded the Boche
bullets. He delivered 52 important
messages, never made a mistake and
didn't get a scratch. He, too, Is back
in Washington.
No. 67552 has no name yet. As far
as Is known, he was the only German
bird captured alive. He was taken by
the Americans in the St. Mlhiel drive
and is now associating with the Amer
ican pigeons In Potomac park.
Last of ths Barons.
The last holder of the Judicial title
of baron tn Great Britain passed with
the recent death In Dublin of Chris
topher Palles, who was baron of the
exchequer in Ireland. The title of
baron was abolished when the court
of exchequer was merged with the
queen's bench, and Lord Chief Baron
Palles was the last bearer of It
He was the solicitor general for Ire
land in 1872, and the same year was
promoted attorney general. After
holding the latter office for two years,
he became lord ehlef baron and held
that positron until 1916.
He was one of the ablest lawyers en
the Irish bench and one of the wittiest,
