Mr. Stillwell .has lpst most of his interest in pigeons and was inclined to give the red-checkered hen to the man who had bought his other pigeons. His wife persuaded him to keep it, however.

A^' *<' kV- , jV-: *• The two McHenry county draft boards will recheek the statuses of all deferred registrants in an effort to, swell the list of 1-A men, as the result of a letter urging Such action from State Selective Service Director Paul G. Armstrong. Similar messages have gone out to all boards of Illinois. It is possible that a number of •n in deferred classifications may be aaoved up and made eligible for early army service. The suggested, review ef all deferred cases is based on the likelihood that the circumstances of many registrants may have altered siare original classification, Armstrong said. He stated that chief groups where re-classification may result are: S-A, those deferred on accuont of dependents; 2- A, those deferred because their skills are needed in factories, and 1-B, those deferred for limited physical disability. State selective service officials have net yet indicated how the supply of selectees Qualified for service may be replenished after exhaustion of the present list of 1-A's and those added by ^-classification. The state has furnished approxi- (Bately 55,000 men to the U.S. armed Wrces out of a total registration of almost 1,100.000. Although present nfonthly quotas have declined from earlier figures. Illinois is expected to Continue to supply a steady stream of Jfeen to the army. 14 Should the nation become involv;*! •Hp war, however, the state might face S tremendous drain on its man power.

MEW YORK.--Three young Americans who escaped from the Nazis in occupied France related their experiences on their arrival here recently from Lisbon. Two were volunteer drivers with the British American ambulance corps who had been seized by the Germans after their ship, the Egyptian liner Zamzam, had been sunk in the Atlantic. The third was the Rsv. Joseph Trahan, 32 years old, of Swanton, Vt., who was assigned by his order, the Fathers of St. Edmund, to the Roman Catholic church of St. Martin, at Saint- Florentin, 10 miles east of Paris. The ambulance drivers were Jame» Stewart, 35, of Oneonta, N. Y., and Thomas O. Greenough, 50, of Proffit, Va. Mr. Stewart attended Union college and operated an ice company before volunteering. Mr. Greenough, who has received degrees from Amherst college and Cambridge university, was an assistant headmaster at the Lakemont, N. Y., academy. Set Course by Stars. They were aboard a Nazi prison train from Bordeaux when they made their escape. After 3% days, during which they hid by daylight and traced a southeast course by the stars at night, they arrived in unoccupied France, as they had intended. From there they went to Lisbon and boarded the ship. When they arrived, a representative of the corps informed them: that a new unit wa§ being formed lo go to Suez, leaving August 20. Asked if he would care to join, Mr. Stewart signified his willingness in one word. "Wow!" he explained, Mr. Greenough said: "That's one reason we, tried to escape--so we could get back and try again.4' Mr. Stewart, who recounted their adventures, made them sound most ordinary. "The train was supposed to take us from Bordeaux to. Paris," he said, "but in a conversation with guards Tom found out that we were going to be taken to Mulhouse, a German border town,, and then Is the Black forest. Decide to Get Busy. "After we had a chance to let this sink in a little bit, We decided to do something. So when the train came to a stop, we just stepped out a window." They took a small amount of bread, two tins of sardines and a can of German bully beef, he disclosed. He estimated that they had walked about 40 miles "as the crow flies," and much further than this when detours were included, before they ask|d a cyclist what ycttw of ranee they tvere in. He informed thegi that tjiey had reached unoccupied territory. father Trahan escaped from Samt-Florentin by carrying golf clubs and posing as a sportsman. He grew a beard also. After fleeing the town and reach* ing unoccupied territory, he was aided by United States consular officials »• ,'*•; Oil Well on powatown Street Proves No Dummy KILGORE, TEXAS.--People who never saw a real oil wen on a downtown street may be skeptical of this story, but East Texans will hot be surprised. There is one oil well in front of a tire company here, and others behind the building, all operated from central pumping unit. Many per sons believed that the well in front of the building was an advertisement for the gasoline station. Such persons were surprised recently when the well "blew but" its packing and ran wild for several minutes. Oil blew across the top of the building and covered two parked automobiles. Fire trucks rushed to the scene, because a careless smoker could have started disastrous fire. But the well was closed in, and the uninformed were taught that the oil well was real and not a dummy.

Expect 5,250 Meakn Mr. Twomley said the county chapter has set a quota of 5,250 members for its share in the' national appeal and Wednesday, Nov. 12, has .been designated as county-wide Roll Call day when the membership drive wilt reach its peak. Clergymen of all county churches are aiding in the appeal by giving recognition to the Red Cross at church services on Sunday, Nov. 9, designated, by Presidential proclamation as Roll Call Sunday. "We must go over the top in this Roll Call," Mr. Twomley added, "because continuance of the national Red Cross program depends upon the success of local chapters in appealing for membersv" Introduction in this county of a Red Cross garment program to provide sweaters and other comfort articles for distribution among men oh duty at military and naval stations hin<res upon the chapter's financial ability to purchase yarns and other materials needed. Funds realized during the Roll Call period will be used solely for domestic . activities and will enable the national | newspapers, organization and its chapters to carry on its expanded services to the Army and Navy, and to widen its national defense program for the civilian population. the chairman pointed out. War Relief Fund Separate Mr- ^Twomley emphasized that the funds ^rith which the Red Cross is doing war - relief work are quite distinct from the membership funds received at Roll Call, on which the organization depends for the support of its many activities at home. Relief activities abroad were made possible by funds contributed by the public in the summer of 1940 to a special War Relief drive, and by supplies purchased by the federal government for foreign war relief. He explained that out of each membership contribution of from one dollar to twenty-five dollars, fifty cents is turned orer fco the national organizaion and the balance remains in the county. Homer Fitegerald is lcoal Roll Call chairman, and McHenry's quota toward the county goal is thre* haadred flMenbcrft.

Tattooed Man From Maine The sobriquet, "The Tattooed Man," had its origin in the fact that one of the New York weekly illustrated magazines printed a cartoon representing James G. Blaine as Phryne, before the Athenian judges, and tattooed with the names of the political scandals with which his name had been connected. Infant Mortality Slashed Only 1 out of every 14 deaths in Wisconsin last year was that of a child less than one year of age, compared to one out of every five deaths in the state 30 years ago.
