She is Mlsa Lola Anderson, 25 years old, who took the oath of ofUce and entered upon the duties of her position a week beiore Christinas. Deputy United States Marshal Anderson is proud of her appointment, "but," she says, "you Just ought to hear dad! I guess he has told or written to every person he ever new about my new job." "Dad" Is Edward Anderson, secretary of the State Federation of Labor, a position he has held for several years.

Police are still puzzled as to the whereabouts of Charles Singclton, tho alleged "soldier bandit," who with Jim O'Connell, now confined in the county Jail la charged with a series of holdups, the last of which was the daylight robbery of the Cottage Grove bank where 1500 was taken. Every effort is being made to locate the soldier by military and civil police. O'Connell was Questioned again yesterday afternoon by Chief of Police Jackson but he would not or could not tell of the soldier's whereabouts.

He only stated that he knew Singelton by sight and did not know his name until it was published in the newspapers.

IAMS BEING MADE TO TEACH CRIPPLED 1 Wounded Soldiers and Sailors Witf Be Given Chance to Own Living. NEW YORK, Feb. 2 The Amer i lean Ited Cross Institute for Crip Pled Soldiers and Sailors. 311 Fourth avenue, of which Douglas C. McMurtrle is the director, is makinf plans for the care and re education of the grounded American soldier and sailors abroad.

For the Intelligent placement of such men the Red Cross institute has ap- nultil: to the nublic spirited em ployers of the country for advice imd co-operation, "In Juiv. 1916." says Mr. Mc- Miitrin. "there had been perma 'neatly crippled by aervice at the i front 6,200 Italian soldiers. How many were disabled durtng the last disastrous year has not yet been vacillated.

But in Italy, as in i other countries, the new gospel is i. being spread. 'No man need be a i cripple unless ne wisnes 10. anu 1 'Those who have been disabled in the war must be fitted to take their part in the work of the nation." This means that the duty of any country toward ita crippled soldiers is not done until they have had, not onlv hospital care and a pen-i slon, but artificial limbs, the knowl- edge of how to use them, and an eci-: uration that will fit them to port themselves at some useful trade. i "This is a new point of view to many people all over the world.

hut it is justified by results. The old ideal was to find for the crip-f pled soldier some soft government i post, where be could be honored and inefficient for life. Garibaldi's '( veterans were treated so; in 1917 the new ideal is in force. At schools of 're-education' at uo-i logna, Florence. Genoa, Milan, Pal-fermo.

Rome and Venice, men are Strained to some trade wnicn mey can master and are sent home ready to become useful and happy members of society. School for the Heroes. "The outward surroundings of these schools are as beautiful and genial as one would expect. Some-I times they are housed in spacious old palaces, sometimes in convents, i and always surrounded by gardens, i Pictures at crippled soldiers from no i country in Europe show such smil- ing faces as the Italians. It may f- be that, it is the southern nature to smile, but it is also true that the cittiena of every town where there la a cripple school follow the gra-f rious Italian custom of making the whole wjourn of the returned sol-f dier aa much like a joyous fete as possible.

This does not In the least i Interfere with the systematic worn, i Km a rule the schools are under military authority, and the diatl-'. pllne is strict. After all, the peas-i ant boys who come there, seeing a great city perhaps for the first time 1 in their lives, are hardly more than 1 big They have hardly any-f thing that could be called an edu-! cation, and the kindly discipline suits Yhem perfectly. general arrangement is that the echools should be organized and supported by private means, the i thai directors govern mom. mllltai-v rank and assign ing to the institutions soldiers still under army orders direct from the field hospitals.

This makes the learning of a trade part of a man military duty. The government paya the school 70 cents a day for each soldier's board, and the school aenerallv elves him about 20 cents fa day for his work. Some of this he ia given to spend and the rest is put away for him so that when I he leaves he has a little capital. The government supplies him with an 'artificial limb made to fit his indl- virtual needs, if it be an arm, the school often gives him the tools which can be fitted to it. Some of lta.lv' most famous surgeons have been at work on the design and fit- ting or artificial iimus.

"Italy's problem in training these crippled soldiers Is somewhat dlf-: ferent front that of her allies. It is still largely an agricultural country; Vln some districts as manv as 90 per of the soldiers are farm work-itwkw And until a short time ago I Italy'lias not had compulsory edu-; cation, so that when it comes to training a wounded soldier the first question must always be, 'Can he read and As a rule, these 'young war cripples belong to the i very simplest peasant class.

WmS. c. The committee on agriculture of the Chamber of Commerce yes le.rday decided to call them gardens" In Des Moines this year and to Join the national nomenclature. War gardens are nothing mora or less, so the committee on agriculture construes, than the effort and determination in Des Moines to cul tivate waste spots and -make them productive in times of war. The committee recommended to Mayor MacVicar, who met with the committee, as also did Burt German, chairman of the realtors' bureau of the chamber, the personnel of a commission which will bo of ficial and will supervise the Des Moiuea gardening movement this1 year.

The chamber committee find tho Des Moines newspapers started the movement last yoar, wnieii resulted in the cultivation of more than 4.000 gardens on the town site and a great production. In tho oersonne of this commis sion, if Mayor MacVicar accepts the suggestions and recommendations of the chamber committee, will be such men as Burt German, Carl N. Kennedy, Arthur H. Corey and J. O.

Mitchell, the last named of tho city schools and famous as a gar-deuor, and at least three women and perhaps four. Two of these. it is hoped, may be the same as on last year's commission. One will be Miss Jessie Campbell, home demonstration agent, who works with Carl Kennedy, county agent. Another will be Miss Murphy and Mrs.

Callanan of last year's com The committee on agriculture will help line out classes of prizes, will urue neighborhood "pooling" of plowing and other labor, will try to heln secure a competent secre tary to assist in managing the cam paign, and is looking torwara 10 me possibilities of a war garuen exhibition in Hie fall. The chamber committee spent some time in favorable considera tion of coming livestock exhibitions sales, ronfcrenc.es and con ventions, coming along shortly, The committee took pride in the fact that Des Moines is rapidly becom ing a center for such activity, indeed, for two years the committee has been earnestly forwarding such progress. FAVOR JEFFERSON HIGHWAY Two Missouri Counties Vote Bonds for Brick Paving. Word has been received by F. J.

Wright, former secretary of the Jefferson highway, advising that Missouri was getting behind the Jefferson highway in a big coij-structive way. The word comes from J. D. Clarkson, general manager of the Jefferson highway, who Bays: "Just carried elections in Harrison county, Missouri, six to one; Buchanan county, Missouri, five to one, for over $2,000,000 to build brick paving highway. Big boost for Jefferson highway and means much tourist travel and business for Des Moines." The St.

Joseph and Kansas City press are devoting much space to the Jefferson highway development work through Missouri and Kansas and bring to light some interesting information in connection with the bonds Just voted in the counties mentioned above. Prior to two weeks before the bond election, many farmers were doing everything possible to defeat the bond Issue. About ten days before election the campaign developed the fact that farmers would benefit as much, or more, than any other Interest, from the highway, and many of them' took active part in lining up for the campaign. A score or more of farmers added their voices to the argument In favor of the highway syBtem, and this accounts for the almoBt unanimous vote In favor of the proposition. Oklahoma and Texas are doing big things In the way of highway development, and It is believed that Iowa will do her part in order to benefit from this north and south highway system.

The Jefferson highway had its inception in Des Moines, and the headquarters is located here in the Coliseum building. K. T. Meredith conceived the idea of this highway as something that would develop the central states, bringing the north and south closer together for mutual benefit. The present manager, J.

D. Clarkson, is carrying on a very effective campaign towaTd completing tho highway from Canada to the gulf. G0LDS0LL CASE IS UP French Ask Inquiry Into Activities of Man. NEW YORK, Feb. 2.

Special: The mays are all being greased In both houses of congress to slide through at the earliest convenience the measure which will result in the saving of an hour of daylight a day in the United States for five months every vears. The father of bifi. Senator William M. Calder of New York, to in charge of the forces which are working for its passage In the sen ate and Congressman William Borland is at the helm steering ior in tne lower nouse. The bill provides that at 2 a.

m. on the last Sunday of Ann! each year the clocks of the nation shall be advanced one hour. That means simply that the hands of the clocks will be moved forward to 3 o'clock. Then on the last Sunday of Sep. timber each year the hands of the clocks will be turned back our hour at 2 a.

m. "The purpose is to move the dav one hour earlier during the summer months, thereby making use of sn hour of daylight nrdlnarilv wasted in the early morning," Raid Senator Calder. "Something- like 95 per cent or the adult population of the United States rises In daylight and retires In darkness during the summer. If this measure Is put into effect there will be one hour more of daylight while we ai awake and one hour leas of darkness. Sees No Resulting Confusion.

"There is nothing intricate about the proposition. Railroads will move on the same schedules and the same clock time and engagements will he' kept without any confusion whatsoever. It is not difficult to realize that a vast amount of artificial illumination would be saved by the elimination of one hour's lighting every day for five months, in every home in greatest progress in agricultural instruction." The Red Cross institute in New York has already opened a special employment bureau for the disabled and is anxious, Mr. McMurtie adds, i to obtain from employers sugges-, tions as to possible Jobs which crip-, pies might fill.

The telegram follows: "A temporary rule will be put into etrect nicago Monday In accordance with the desires of the i food administration which will re-1 quire that all cars arriving from the west loaded with grain be returned empty to delivering line for movement to grain territory. This will assist very materially In corn and oats movement." STEEET CAR MEN STEIKE Order Kffevtlve nt Condition of Night Kim.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 2. A strike of street car motormen and conductors of St.

Louis was ordered at 10:45 o'clock tonight, effective as the cars turned In at the conclusion of the night runs. Two hundred members of the newly chartered local of the Amalgamated Association of Street aud Electric Railway Employes attended a secret meeting to decide on a course of action In view of the failure of the United Railways to accede to their demands presented to the company tonight. i It wa. announced that all men i who continue work after 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon Will he consid- ereo as strikebreakers. Officials of the company sav only a few hundred of the men have joined the union.

The union demands an increase In the wages of motormen and conductors from the present average of 25 cents an hour to 40 and 45 cents and that the company discontinue the alleged practice of giving women conductors preference over men their senior In service in the assignment of favored runs. An adjustment of hours also Is asked. Mob Plans Lynching. ATHENS. Feb.

mob of white men formed here early this morning with the expressed intention of lynching Arthur Kenfro. a young Negro, held in the Athens jail on a charge of having attacked a 4 yeur 4ld white girl near nere lusjt Kill." all the stores, in street cars, fac tories worked at night and a nun died other places." Borland points to the great sav ing which would be effected In fuel which goes into lighting and power production and lays especial stre on the effect the daylight saving bill would have on the health of the nation, giving men, women and children an extra hour after their daily tasks for play, exercise or garden work. "It will result, in an enlarged opportunity for athletics, home gar dening, walking, driving, motoring, military training ind every sort of wholesome outdoor recreation," said Borland. "Some old fashioned people may regard the hands of the clock too sacred to be tampered with and will say. that it Is a fiction to say that it is 6 o'clock when It Is not really 6 o'clock.

To these objections the answer Is that we do not now have true time in a single community in the United States. The standard of time by which we now govern our comings and goings is a railroad-set time adopted by the rest of the nation for convenience." Railroads Will Not Oppose. The railroads were looked upon as the chier "atones in the road when the bill was introduced, but the fact that the government now runnihg the roads eliminates their objection, no doubt, slnco President Wilson has urged upon congressmen that the daylight saving bill be passed as soon as possible so that It may be effective this summer. The. railroads had objected on the score that it would be very co9tly to discard all their time table's and other literature for revision twice a year1.

Figures compiled by the United States chamber of commerce show that the coal saving In one year under the daylight saving contemplated by the measure would de CRIME DOESN'T PAY, SI TATE LEARNS Oldest Criminal I United in Stales Warns Against Lure of Easy Money. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2. Homeless, penniless, friendless and 89, Sam Tate shook a trembling finger the other afternoon to emphasize the lesson it look him a lifetime to learn.

"Crlmo doesn't pay. No. not. even In money. I've had $500,000 and look at me now." The picture was more graphic than his warning.

There he sat huddled in a chair, a broken old man, whose rheumy eyes are almost blinded by his sun, fast sinking In his west. Once he was Sam Tate, the cleverest counterfeiter of them all, cool, skillful, cunning, he pitted himself against the government itself and won. Thousands of dollars slipped through Sam's fingers, for he was "a good fellow," a member of the gentry of his class and he deported himself accordingly. Then too he could and did his hand at burglary. His deft hand and gave him a name in that, field, but It was in the making of spurious money that he took the most pride and to that lie devoted most of his time, burglary being a sort of a side line ith him.

Tate is al the home for dis charged prisoners, Seventy-third street and avenue, whither he had been taken after United States District Attorney Francis Vitther hia fnrmoi nrrworn nr i p. had made arrangements for his ad-1 mission there. He has spent more than half his life In the various prisons of the east, and his family is today scattered to the four corners and his money has disappeared to the last cent. When he was discharged from the federal prison at Altanta. to which he was sentenced in 1914, Thursday he was accompanied by teorge Riley, his pal on the last Job who was sentenced with him, both for counterfeiting.

Riley himself, though past 70 years, is hal3 and hearty and like hia companion, Tate, said he has forsworn crooked paths because it does not pay. Aside from its moral aspect, Tate fays a life upent in crime does not pay; the money so easily, though often hazardously got, is soon spent; the spender gets no real enjoyment out of his illearned gain, and alone with it all Is the constant thought that he is likely to be taken up at any moment for hu cirime.

The clocks in Europe are treated to their push ahead In spring and their push back of an hour in the fall, and have been since early in the war. It has proved a benefit over there, according to friends of the bill and should here. The idea of utilizing the early morning- hours has been agitated by one man or anothe'r for years.

but the advocates have been looked on by their fellows as faddists. As far back as Benjamin Frank lin's time the Idea was being talked over. Franklin himself, it is said, arose one bright, clear morning and found that nobody else was up. He deemed it a pity that none was taking advantage of the early day light when so many would be working long after dark at night. In a paper he wrote for the Amen-niorning hour would save oil and can Philosophical society he pointed out tli'it utilization of the early eyesight.

Maryland, in 1828, was as good a one as any young man ever had, and if I had only teen content to keep In the right path might be living today on my own place, surrounded by my children and grand- children. Hut I got the Idea in my head that It took lots of money to make a man happy, and the few dollars" I could earn didn't seem anything to me, so I started out to get It the quickest and easiest way couia. i -startea in pulling otf little Jobs around near my home, and that was the worst part of my whole life, because in that time I laid the foundation for wrong doing that got me in bad the remaining days of my life. Even when I became older, went Into business and might have made a respectable fortune for myself, the old instincts to take more than I was entilted to led me to do the wrong thing. There was never a period in which I was able to find enjoyment In the use of my money! I spent a lot of it on my family and I gave many a dollar of it toward charity, but the cloud of discontent always hung in the background to destroy whatever comfort I might have got out of it had the money been honestly my own.
