Four church societies can be accommodated at one time, each one conducting their sale| for two days. The space for the Christ- mas sales {8 donated each year by The Bee company. Thea beauty of The Bee rotunda with its attractive fish pond and paintings has been enhanced by an elaborate deciration scheme of pink and green. Christmas greens Intertwining ting green lights, ping roses and laughing cuplds have ben use, a large bell-shaped effect having ben erected over the fish pond in the center of the rotunda.

Many of the auto tourists that visited the two expositions In California this year had occasion to travel over one of the most pecullar auto roads in the coun- try. West of Yuma, Ariz, there 1s & try for many miles. In order to get through from Yuma to San Diego It is necessary to cross these dunes, which are | about six miles in width at this point. They are composed of fine sand that Is | practically bottomless. These dunes are | called walking sand hills, because they shift with the action of the wind, It being estimated that they have “walked"” about 100 feet in the last fifty years. In order to make a passable road across the dunes the citizens of Imperial county decided on a plank road. Planks 2x8x12 were lald three for each runway, thus forming two strips of planking two feet wide, with a space of perhaps three feet between them, The planks were securely bolted together. This made a road for all practical purposes as good as a concrete boulevard. The original outlay was several thousand dollars and & man has to be employed constantly keeping the road In repair and keeping the sand from drifting over it. In order that traffic going in opposite directions might not be hindered there are switches at intervals so that one of the autos may take the “siding” while another goes by. There are several stage lines running over this plank road and in addition to this there are from ten to twenty autos traveling In each direction dally.

California Petrole: Canadian Paoitic Sing Holds Record For Killing Men In Pot Shooting (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.) SBYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 16—Letters from the Gallipoll peninsula, say that & Queensland cavalryman named Sing, holds the record among the Australasian troops as a sniper. Up to September 1, Sing had shot ninety-one Turks, of whom at least fifty were killed outright Bing was a crack marksmen before the war and had won prizes for his shooting at Bris- bane and at Bydney. Since engaging in systematic sniping in the Dardanelles operations, he has rarely missed one of his human targets, Day after day and night after night he settles down comfortably in some pet position and walts with inexhaustible patience for his chance, He sits for hours with & telescope as an ald watching the Turkish tracks over the hills or the lengths of the Turkish trenc until sooner or later a Turk shows himself. It the Turk is wary and quickly bobs up and then down again, Sing does mot fire. He proceeds on the principle that emboldened by fancled security the Turk will gradually riek first his head, then his shoulders and finally the upper half of his body. At this stage Bing's rifle cracks and the Turk Is seen to fall. A notch is made by €in in a stick which he keeps by way of a record. Sing’'s snip- Ing performances are sald to be beyond question for every telling shot by him has been checked by some officer, Arbitration Statue to Come to America (Correspondent of the Assoclated Press.)

YOUTHS HIT PIPE AND QUID Eight Years Fo the Min| Age of American Tobacco Users. The youngest tobacco chewer, by self- acknowledgement, among 2,216 achool children in the town of “X"—which may be anywhere in these United States ~is elght years old. This Is recorded in a bulletin of the United States public health service, reporting ths result of an investigation of habits of juvenile attendants at white schools in this partio- ular but anonymous community. In this same place there is a girl of nine years who dips snuff, as well as & boy of the same age who indulges himself in the habit. Dipping snuff appears to be a practice of girls rather than of boys, with a record of one girl of eleven years another of twleve years, two of fourteen years and one of fifteen years, without any confessed practice among boys. Bix years is the age of the youngest smoker of tobacco, & boy. The habit seized another boy of elght years, three boys nine years old, six of ten years, elght of eleven years, six of twelve years, thirteen of thirteen years, eight of fourteen years, twelve of fifteen years, six of sixteen years, four of weventeen years, three of eighteen years and one boy of nineteen years of age. There appear to be no girl smokers. Not one chewer of tobacco, by ac- knowledgement, was found among 124 boys from fifteen to seventeen years of | age. This, the public health service nvestigators find it difficult to credit, but there were confessed chewers be- low and above those age limits, One boy began to chew tobacco at elght years of age, one at ten years and two at twelve years. One boy was only three years old when he began smok- ing, two were only six years old. The use of tobacco was found to be more common among children from homes of iferior sanitation than among those of homes of better accommodations, ~Washington Star, All’s Well, Foolish Ferdinand was walking through the woods.

COMMITTEE BUSY AT WORK Plans for making the next Ak~ Sar-Ben festivities of a historic na- ture, in connection with the celebra- tion of the semi-centennial of Ne- braska's admission to the union, will be presented and discussed at the tee of 100, appointed by the State Historical society to handle the fif- tieth anniversary affair.

The Ak-Sar- Ben festivities of 1916 are contemplated to be arranged as Omaha's part of the state-wide celebration. | President John Lee Wabster has ar- ranged the dinner as a complimentary one for the 100 or more committeemen, and has just sent out invitations to them. “If the executive committee's plans are accepted by the general committee,” he said, “and the Ak-Sar-Ben governors find it feasible to co-operate with the Histori- cal soclety, the Omaha fall festivities next year will be in the nature of a his- torical celebration of Nebraska's half century in the union, “Our executive committee plans that the Lincoln part of the semi-centennial shall take place in the spring of 1817, after the Omaha celebration. March 1 is the exact anniversary, and about that time the celebration at the state capital will take place. “Then throughout the state, about the same time, there will be reunions of all state civic socleties and special meetings and festivities in observance of tho semi- centennial, with state officers and insti~ tutions, including the University of Ne« braska, participating. ‘In all the public schools also the anni- versary will be fittingly observed through the co-operation of Superintendent A.

LONDON, Nov. %.—James Oglivie- Grant, who made the elghth peer to fall in action in this war, was the thirtieth chief of the Clan Grant, as well as the eleventh earl of Seafield. But as aristo- cratic as were his Scottish connections— for his earldom dated from 16%—only tha merest chance saved him from being & plain democratic citizen of New Zealand. His father, in fact, served as town lamp- lighter in Oamaru, New Zealand, when the death of the earl of that time and of his sole direct helr threw the title in 1888 to a collateral branch of the family. The municipal lamplighter was then brought to Scotland as the earl of Seafield.
