HONORS DISPUTED Bitter Battle Waged by TIN) New Orleans Factions. OLD IQE HUNK New Orleans.--Two old landmarks In the New Orleans' Vieux Carre are waging a bitter battle to win the distinction of having been erected a century and a quarter ago as refuges for tlfe Emperor Napoleon. Decision given recently by_JHtstnrtaii Stanley Clisb.v Arthur to a dilapidated, little known place at 514 Chartres street, shorn of Its decorative Iron work, is being hotly contested by the numerous fans of the long-recognized Girod house at the corner of Chartres ai?d St Louis street, beautifully proc, portioned, appropriately fitted afiff topped by an imposing belvedere. . Arthur claims the Girod house was* not built, until nine years after the little ethperor's death, while (Jen. Allison Owen, peer among New Orleans' Creole architects contends that recently dis* covered features give the Girod bouse definite connection with the "colorful Bonapartist* episode In New Orleans history, when a group of New Orioaiis' loyalists under the leadership of Dominic You, lieutenant 6f pirates, project* ed an expedition to rescue Napoleon from St Helena. *. ' The United States commission for the survey of historic buildings apparently has sided with the Girod house advocates because Richard E. Koch, architect supervisor- of the governmept studies, has, preserved in photograph and sketch every detail of the architectural beauty of the "favorite." It seems now as if the local flouters of tradition are making a determined sally against everything having to do with Napoleon In New Orleans. They recently published an elaborate statement to prove that the famous New Orleans death mask of Napoleon, reposing in a place of honor in the Cabildo museum, along with Doctor Antomarcchi, the donor, who c' aimed to have been Napoleon's physician at th® time of his death, both are fakes. Even the names of the Napoleonic streets in uptown New Orleans haro suffered from the onslaughts of those who apparently have no respect for the memory of Napoleon. The streets for five blocks on each side of Napoleon avenue were named for the Conqueror's famous battles, but "Berlin street" right next to Napoleon avenne has been changed to "GenertU Pershing." Scientists Study Magic Mirrors From Old Cathay Cambridge, Mass.--The strange tales Marco Polo brought home from far Cathay are equaled by the story told of a group of 2,200-year-old Chinese mirrors, whose "magical" properties are to be investigated by scientists here. The mirrors, a recent gift to Fogg museum at Harvard university, are supposed to reflect not only what is in front of them, as do ordinary mir; rors, but also to show what is at their back. Rutherford J. Gettens. museum chemist, jmd Dr. John Norton, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will study the supposed phenomenon, as well as several other interesting points about the mirrors. Their metallurgical composition will be analyzed to determine whether their unusual brilliance is due to the use of mercury as a polishing agent. The collection, numbering 42 circular mirrors ranging from three to eight inches in diameter, was given to the museum by James M. Plumer, a Harvard graduate, who Is an official In the Chinese customs. Ohio Man's Onions Tell Him of Future Weather Westervllle, Ohio.--Charley F. Rankey, retired farmer, knows his onions --and thereby lies his uncanny ability for forecasting weather a JC*# in„£d* vanee. - • ' Rankey's formula is: * "I take an onion--three inches across --peel out 12 of the cups and set them In a row east to west Then I place a teaspoon of salt in each cup at midnight, New Year's eve, allowing them to lie undisturbed for 12 hours, each hour representing a month. "When noon comes around the condition of the onion cups indicates th£ type of weather we will have throughout the year, each cup representing a month. "A dry cup forecasts a dry month, a damp cup crusting the salt a month of moderate rainfall and one in which water gathers reveals a heavy rainfall." "Why don't you give him the mitten?" , ( , . '• , •' • "It isn't cold hands he'has, It's cold THE SIGNAL "The hostess said the affair was to be strictly Informal." "That makes the girls dress op all right all right." OH, OH Miss Coy--1 can't start my engine, the thing won't spark. Mr. Slow--What do you suppose Is the matter with It? Miss Coy--Well, It's Just Uke some people I know." "Snobs is a puzzle to me." "I guess he's a puule to others, too. I overheard Mrs. Snobs the other day ordering him to explain himself." - THAT'S TROUBLE World War Draft Registration The first registration, on June 5, 1917, was for men between the ages of twenty-one qnd thirty, inclusive. The second, on June 5; 1918, was for those who had turned twenty-one after the first registration.

BACK YARD Army Man Lives on Lonely Isle i ;-in ' E a s t ' R i v e r . Sr • New York.--New York has a coun terpart of Daniel Defoe's famous.char acter, Robinson Crusoe, right la Its back yard. • Lacking only the glamor of beautiful foliage, hidden caves, a white, sandy beach and lurking cannibals, John Robert William Smith leads almost as lone ly an existence within a stone's throw of one of the world's largest metrop ollses as did the renowned Inhabitant of the fictional island. The Island, Mill Rock, a bare, tree less, flat rock hardly more than an acre In size. Is located In the Bast river. Around It swirl the treacherous whirlpools of Hell Gate. For thirteen years Smith has Inhabited this tloy island, as an employe* pf the army engineering corps. But In stead of the one man who served Robinson Crusoe, Smith bas twenty-eight "Fridays" at his beck and call and a fleet of ten vessels. They bring him his supplies. • For years Hell Gate channel has been cleared of submarine obstructions, but the terrific currents and dangerous cross tides moke navigation at this point no child's play and It is Smith's job to watch for dangers to safe trans-^en Schmitt. its. There he can signal tc Stallone ashore. ' Although not part of his Job. probably the most Important task Smith performs is rescue work.

C dinarily, spring fever is due to the fact, that the individual has led a * - ' sedentary life during the cold months, and because he had not changed his p.-.i n diet to suit the warmer 'temperatures. ng" This seasonal malady should not be ^ confused with the tired feeling which * is one of the first symptoms of ta- ' , "/* • berculosis. If general lassitude is kccompanied by a loss of- weight, indi-""-' •• . igestion, and a cough, these symptoms ,. r. ' should cause the individual sufficient ' V-Vj concern to go to his doctor for an est- • • ; amination, the bulletin says. ~ . "The old idea of dosing the whole - \ •/. J family ;with sulphur ;and molasses or ^assafrai tea as a spring7 tonic was to t thin the blood, which Was though to-.-U' have become thick and sluggish during the winter. This is fallacious/' the f bulletin points out. "Atthough mo!- ' asses contains vitamins aind minerals needed by the human system, the addition of sulphur improv'es neither ^ the taste nor the effectiveness of the v V "" *>, mixtiw." * *;• The Illinois Tuberculosis A^uocia. tion urges that everyone have an annual physical examination as a matter of course. Early spring is an excellent time, as it follows the period when all sorts of communicable diseases are prevalent. For people who have no serious phy. sical defects, spring fever may be overcome by eating fewer of the heatproducing foods, such as fats, sugar and starches, and mora green vegetables with their vitamin, mineral and roughage content. Exercise in the fresh air will aid in overcoming this seasonal ailment. "Why should he nwd all money? He's not a family man."
