, Now Chief Surgeon at
Evacuation Hospital
Overseas. .
Capt. Henry A. Johnson, now in
France, has won a mayorship and
if chief surgeon at evacuation hos
pital No. 31. The young man is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Johnson,
2010 Maple street, Omaha. He was
educated in the Omaha schools and
was graduated from the Creighton
Medical college.
Enlisting soon after the United
States entered the war against Ger
many, Dr. Johnson was given the
rank of lieutenant. After training
at Camp Funston, he was sent to
Camp Pike, where he was prompted

Rochester, Minn., for a special
course in surgery, later having gon

John Bull Cartoon is
More Like Irish Than
Average Englishman
London, June 7. The people of
Ireland look more like the accepted
cartoons of John Bull than the Eng
lish, according to Prof. A. Keith,
authority on thnology. Generally
speaking, he said, the heads of Irish
men were bigger than those of Eng
lishmen. Taking the people of the Island
of Arranm6re as typical of . early
Ireland, Prof. Keith said one man
shown to him as a typical Irishman
was the double of. John Bull which
"'Punch" portrays. ' '
"The average Arranmore .head
was much larger than the average
London head." 'said Prof. Keith.
I'Now, as 5000 years ago, the Ar
ranmore Islander had to fight na
ture 'for a living. I wonder how
t
ii iiihiAiiilaaroriteii rim i.uinntsaBB1
many Londoners would manage to
squeeze a living out of its soil.
"It might be thought that a high
ly civilized life would produce Big
brains, but that is not so, as proved
by those Irish fisher-farmers."
Incidentally, it may be remarked
that the average Englishman does
not look like the cartoons of John
Bull, the average Englishman being
wirily built and sometimes so skinny
he could go right into the side show
ai the "living Skeleton" without do
ing a fast. It's the shipping mag
nates and industrial barons, past the
age of 50, who look like cartoons of
John Bull, says the professor.

LONDON PAPERS
ARE DELIVERED
VIA AIRPLANE
Seaside Resorts Get Mail
From Air When Bundles
Are Dropped by Means
of a Parachute.
London, June 7. London news
papers are being delivered to towns
along the seacoast east, south and
west, and to cities in the midlands
by aeroplanes. One of the nation's
most enterprising journalists has
sent huge bundles of the final adi
tions of a London morning and a
London evening paper to towns 100
to 200 miles distant in short time
via the air route, one machine often
passing several cities dropping bun
dles of newspaper by means of para
chutes. Papers Dominate.
This adventure means that Eng
land more than ever in the past will
be dominated by London newspa
pers. For years London newspapers
have dominated the British -Isles,
selling in Dublin and. Balfast.
strange as it may seem, as readily
as they do in London. The same
has held true with regard to towns
in Wales and Scotland. As a re
sult, papers in the smaller towns,
especially in the daily field have
been stifled. Even cities of 50.0Q0
population have only weekly papers
printing only local news.
Residents at seaside resorts like
Margate, Brighton, Bournemouth
have been surprised by a machine
suddenly diving into view from
above 'the clouds, releasing a para
chute which gracefully floats down
With a 200-pound waterproof pack
age of newspapers. A motorboat
picks up the bundle and soon the
promenaders are reading the latest
news of the world. The airplane
climbs back through the clouds and
proceeds to other cities, releasing
parachute bundles of the latest edi
tion. Only "Stunt" Now. ;
Sometimes aviation news deliver
ers drop down to the beach, taxi up
to the unloading station and then
reascend; sometimes the papers are
dropped in a park. Seaplanes can
come within a block of Carmelite
House, the Thames river giving ac
cess. While airplane editions now are
regarded as "stunts," it is believed
that regular air delivery will be in
stituted when condition become
practicable. .
Pallbearers Use Pipes
While Carrying Coffin
Boothesville, W. Va. The spec
tacle of pallbearers escorting a
corpse to grave while smoking corn
cobs was presented here recently
when the body of W. S. Goodwin
was buried. Goodwin's dying re
quest was that smoking be permitted
at the funeral. Goodwin had smoked
a pipe for 68 of his 73 years. He
preferred homespun tobacco and
was an adept at cutting off the
exact amount to make a pipeful.

mittee made the trip with Governor

red with York over his choice of a
farm in Fentress county, which the
people of Tennessee will tender him
as a token of their appreciation.
Sergeant York was appointed a
colonel on the colonel's staff after
the wedding and was presented by
other members of the staff with a
colonel's uniform.
The girl who was" the hero's bride
is 17 years old. She said "yes"
when ork returned to fan Man
after receiving an ovation in New
York and other eastern cities be
cause of the feat in killing 25 Ger
mans single handed, capturing 132
and putting 36 machine gun nests
out of action. .
York said he had declined an of
fer to appear in a song and dance
act wih 35 cirls in vaudeville, be
cause he guessed he "would be a
scream in tights." 1

fcoessible spot in the United States.

"lowlam!" civilization, in the dense
wilderness and uncharted passes of
the Cumberland" mountains, and is
reached by road3 and paths that are
beautiful but tortuous to travel.
