low places in the roads that keep

permit it to run off. Such places al-
vravs make for bail roads and it in
to the interest of everyone to fcc
that the water is not allowed to
stand until it soaks into the ground

FORMER KAISER PUIS
SILENCER OH BARBER
Wiiiam Hohenzoilern Gets Morn
ing Shave Minus the Cus
tomary Gossip.
William Hohenzollorn, formerly em
peror of (lermany, still pucks a punch.
He has compelled the barber of Am
erongen who trims his beard and mas
sages his face every morning to do
so In silence, according to T. Walter
Williams, a New York newspaper man
who has just returned froia Holland.
The barber told Williams that the
ex-kaiser prefers to have him work
without- talking. At the same min
ute every day the barber goes to the
castle where Mr. llohenzo.lern re
sides. First he trims; the Vandyke
beard, which the former kaiser is af
fecting, after which he massages his
face. The former emperor is very
sensitive about this operation, and be
fore the barber begins he tells him to
iron out all the wrinkles.
Williams said the barber told Mm
the exile Is enjoying excellent health.
He judges this by the condition of hi
close-cropped hair, which is still h;ird
aud wiry. Roth hair and beard nre a
snow white.
The children in the village fear
that there will be no Christmas trees
left this winter, for the former kaiser
is still at his labors of sawing wood.
One of the three start officers who
have remained faithful to him gets at
the other end of the cross-cut saw and
assists Mr. Hohenzollern.
The only persons living in fhc castle
besides the servants are the ex-kais-crln
and Gen. Von Oented. The other
staff officers live at a hotel in the
village.
Talk about adventures !
Men in the Navy come

experiences that most

blooded young fellows like you

A chance to rub elbows with
foreign folks in strange pavts of
the world.
The chance for good honest
work on shipboard the kind of
work that teaches you something
real; the kind of work that puts
beef on your shoulders and hair
on your chest.
You will get 30 care-free vaca
tion days a year, not count:ng
shore leave, in heme or foreign
ports.
You will have the kind of com
radeship in travel that sailors
know.
You will have regi'lar pay;
over and above your rncals, lodg
ing and your first uniform outnt
good stuff all of it.
You can join for two years.
When you get through you'll be
physically and mentally "tuned
up" for the rest of your lif-.
You'!l be ready through and
through for SUCCESS.

Ancient Battle Standards.
It Is probable that the first flag was
carried by the Saracens in their bat

adopting the idea, which thus spnnu
over Turope. Long before that there
had been national standards, however,
ns the nneient Egyptians carried be
fore their hosts the figure of a sacred
animal on a spear. A sttuTed cat im
paled on n stick was the forerunner of
the banners ne-v used. In the days of
the old Persian empire a blacksmith's
apron was carried aloft at the head
of the army, while the standard cf
the Turks was a horse's tail.
