Stone Bruises Have Value Stone bruises on the feet are a sure • cure for nervous disorders, in the opinion of a German specialist, who sets many of his patients to walking In their bare feet over stony fields. The more tender the patients' feet the quicker will be the cure. In the opinion of this expert on nerVous disorders. He holds that many nervous persons are unable to take their minds off troubles which they brood over constantly and has found over a long temu of years that it is not possible for many patients to worry about other troubles if they have bruised •ad swollen feet. Miles of Tunnels in Mines In the working of the groat gold mines in Soutli Africa during the 41 years since their discovery there have been driven, it is announced, more than 4,000 miles of underground tunnels; more than enough to make a subway entirely across the United States. Additional tunnels are being added at the rate of more than 13 miles a month, all in the search for masses of gold ore from which the precious metal can be extracted profitably.-- St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Used By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN NE HUNDRED AND ' FIFTY year* old on November 10, 1924, will be the Unites States Marine Corps--a unique organisation adjudged by the military experts of all nations to be the most efficient fighting force in the world. The anniversary will be cele^ brated in Washington in connection with the Second National Assembly of the Marine Corps league, November 10, and the sixth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, November 11. There will be a considerable attendance In addition to the delegates, as Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, national commandant of the league and commandant of the Marine Corps, has extended In his official call an invitation to those "who at solne time may have worn the Globe, Anchor and Eagle." The Armistice day program includes a parade and a visit to the national shrine where lies the "Unknown Soldier" in the National cemetery at Arlington. The history of the United States Marine Corp* is briefly this: November 10, 1775,"the Second Continental congress, actual hostilities of the Revolu^ tlon having been begun, called for "good seamen or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve to advantage by sea when required." The Marine Corps was formally established June 23, 1776, with a major, Samuel Nichols, in command. It servted through the Revolution, and then disappeared, together with the navy. In 1798, when the navy was reorganized, the Marine Corps was reestablished with 881 officers and men. That was also the year the War department was organized. - So the Marine Corps is older than either the army or navy. And the Marine Band Is of course a national institution. It began with the Marine Corps--as a drum and flfe corps. In 1S06 the Marines on a United States frigate kidnaped some Italian must* cians from a port near Naples. Sharp diplomatic correspondence resulted in an order for the return of the Italians, but they chose to stay with the Marines. Nowadays "The President's Own" Is the official bijnd of the American government:-- and world famous. The Marine Corps grew in importance and" strength as the years went by. In 1902, for ex-.. ample, the Corps numbered 199 officers and 6,000 enlisted" men, with a brigadier general in command. When we entered the World war the strength was 377 officers and 9,947 men. By 1918 the Marines had been increased to 3,017 officers and 75.000 men. The Corps now has 1,093 officers and 27,400 enlisted men. The Marines are out of the ordinary in many ways. For one thing, they don't really belong to either .the army or the navy. They are practically an Independent defense unit, though they are under the nominal direction of the secretary of the navy in time of peace and of the secretary of war in time of war. "Send for the Marines!" is a cry that often goes up from Americans endangered by hostilities in some foreign land. And the Marines can land and do their protection act without their presence being tantamount to a declaration of war against that nation. Usually the.v manage to get along without a fight, for they have established a reputation for diplomacy in difficult situations almost equal to their efficiency in actual hostilities. Anyway, the stereotyped message that quickly gets back to Washington is the world-famous, "The Marines have landed and have the situation well in hand." The Marine Corps, as a whole, may be said to be Uncle Sam's "Handy. Man" in times of peace. There seems to be nothing it cannot do and it' appears to be doing a Utile of everything. Right now, for example, there are Marines in China und in Honduras for the protection of Americans and American interests. They are about finishing their withdrawal from Santo Domingo, after rehabilitating that republic, and are still in Haiti on the same kind of job. In Philadelphia, which borrowed him for the purpose, is Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler of the Marines, trying to "Butlerize" the City of Brotherly Love, which nowadays is in sad need of rehabilitation. And what do you suppose the Marines are doing in puam--why, nothing less than leading parties of natives in a determined attack on Aspidlotous destructor, a new scale Insect pest which is destroying the coconut palms, banana trees and the alligator pear trees of the Island! You will find a Marine guard at times in front of the Treasury building in Washington. Arthur Whltcomb, a Marine Corps bugler, sounded - '"Taps"- at the grave of Wood row Wilson und of Calviri Coolidge, Jr., und so it goes--at home and abroad. Wherever there is a United States hattieship, there is a detachment of Marines--"Semper Fidelis" and always ready for efficient action. Don't make the mistake of thinking the Marines sre merely fighting machines. It takes a real mun to get into the Marines. He has to be young, ablebodied und of good character. And he has tb pass stringent mental, moral and physical tests upon admission. Ills term of enlistment is four years. --and he will know a lot more at the end of that four yejjrs than he did when he joined. A cursory glance at recent numbers of the Leatherneck, the official organ of the Marines, one finds mention of all sorts of activities in all parts of the world. Here are a few: Aviation training at Pensacola; re-enacting of the battle of Antietam of the Civil war, which attracted 50,000 spectators| formation of football teams for the fall battles; new courses of study in the Marine Corps institute; rifle practice at Guantanumo, Cuba; broadcasting of a program by the United States Marine Band at Washington; various busehall games, usually won by the Murines; rifle tournument victories, picnics, hikes und dances at various posts; successes at the water carnival at San Diego and , the Atlantic City pageant; a consideration of the prospects for championship honors of C. J. Pratash, the latest heavyweight boxer developed by the Marines; letters from Marines all over the world detailing interesting experiences, especially one from a Marine who has just finished a cruise Of 40,000 miles in 22 months on the Pittsburgh and Orion. High officers In the Marine Corps get their places by working for them. Take, for Instance, the career of "Johnny, the Hard," General Lejeune was born In 1867 in Louisiana, und It a graduate of Louisiana State university. United States Naval academy (1888) and Army '"War college (1910). He .began his sea life -as a naval cadet by being wrecked on the U. S. S. Vandalia In the hurricane at Apia, Samoa, "in 1889. The next year he won his commission as second lieutenant and thereafter he moved steadily up until his appointment us major general in 1918. He has been in command of the Marines since July 1, 1920. During the Intervening years we find him in command of a battalion in Panama during the year of excitement over the Punutna canul (1903-4); of a brigade in the Philippines <HH)8-9) ; of a brigade and regiment during the taking and occupation of Vera Cruz in 1914. He arrived in France June 8, 1918, und was a participant in various engagements from St. Mihlel to the occupation of the Coblenz bridgehead. He returned In August of 1913 in command of the Second division. And with all that he has managed to be a 'husband and a father. The high-up officers of the Marines are iron fflsclpllnnrinns--and at the same time "Big Brothers'* or "Uncles" or something of the kind to their • men. Take Maj. Oen. Joseph H. Pendleton (retired). He's "Uncle Joe" to his men and his wife is "Aunt Mary." Uncle Joe's name has even been Interpolated into the "Hymn of the Marines," .'Which begins: From th« Halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli. We fight our country's battles v On the land and on tlTe sea. * ' And when Uncle Joe's nephews sing tbe ltymn they add: The Marines in Nicaragua Were the bojrs to fill the bill. And Uncle Joe he was the lad ' Took Coyotepe HilL Coyotepe Hill figured in 1912, when he landed In the Central American republic wi/h a detachment of Marines to find the revolutionists occupying a fortified hill believed to be impregnable and raining death and destruction on all the country around. Well, Uncle Joe led his men in the climb up Coyotepe Hill and the rebels dispersed pronto. jfQ-- Is largely to be credited. And here's a climax ta his career which shows In what regard Uncle Joe is held. He was elected by acclamation commander of the San Diego post of the American Legion. Cnn you imagine a brigadier general of anything being elected commander of nn American Legion post, let alone by acclamation! There is an astonishing amount of "hero worship" In the United States for the Marines. Maybe it Is in part due to the romance of adventure that surrounds the Corps. Why. a Marine of any experience can spin yarns thatf shame fiction. Let's take for example the career of Sergt. John L. Praf, ter of Nutley, N. J., retired at forty-two, with ft bungalow, a wife, a little daughter and a job aft a bank guard In Newark. In his twenty years of service he's seen enough and done enough to fill 20 volumes. Sergeant Prater was rejected as too young when he tried to get into the Rough Riders at sixteen In 1903 he enlisted at Kansas City, the first-Murine from Indian territory. And he certainly has lived up to the legend, "Join the Marines aiyl see the world." He passed Christmas twenty yfars ago In the Holy Land. The Turks were killing the Syrians and the Brooklyn was sent to prevent bloodshed. For many weeks Sergeant Prater stood guard over the Presbyterian School for Syrian Girls In Beirut. Then came orders to proceed to Abyssinia to make s treaty with King Menellk. , That same year, on the return trip, Sergeant Prater saw the then German emperor at Kiel. ' Next came the Perdicarls-allve-or-Ruisull-dead expedition to Africa by order of President Roosevelt. In 1905 Prater had a look at Edward VII in London. That wn8 the year the United States decided to bring back the body of John Paul Jones from France. Prater was one of a detail of six Marines that escorted the body. Then Roosevelt picked him out for his personal orderly. When the Marine Corps was called upon to furnish a guard for President Wilson. Prater was selected. He remained with the party when President Wilson visited King George and Queen Mary in Buckingham palace; when they visited King Albert in Brussels and Victor Emmanuel In Rome. It should not he necessary here to dwell on the services of the Marines in the World war, where they lived up to their reputation and won new fame. Every good American knows that on all French maps what was once Belleau Wood at Chateau- Thierry is now "Wood of the Marine Brigade." When It was formally named and was consecrated last year as the final resting place of Its Marine dead Marshal Focli proclaimed Its battle "the turning point of the World war, the jumping ofT place of the finul allied offensive and march across the Rhine." That's'a fair sample of the'fighting qualities of the Marines. And it gives an American an added thrill to know that the Marines are so deadly largely because of their skill with the rifle. For we Invented the rifle and with it we won our Independence and achieved our march across the continent. It Is our national weapon. And we have th^ most accurate and hardest-hitting rifle there is. We Americans lead the world as rifle shots and tlie Marine Corps leads our various military services. Every Marine is expected to be at least a qualified marksman, able to stop a man fouigaktH'S out of five, shooting offhand at 200 ya/ffir Then comes the sharpshooter. The expert rifleman tops them all--and the rifle In his hands is sure death. As to the way the Marines shoot jn time of peace, look up the records of the rifle tournaments. Consult German officers in the World war as to "battle, murder and sudden death" when the "Devil Dogs" go into action with rifle and bayonet.

NO. *5-182* To the tennis club of which a Jersey rCity higli school professor is a member came a visiting team of players a few days ago. Among them was Walter Thomas of Elizabeth, N. thirteen-year-old champion and one of the proteges of William T. Til den. Young Thomas had Just won the Iliinois and the Western boys' championship and was ib the best of mettle. Pointing out the boy to the professor, the secretary of tbe club told him he was booked for a match with the youngster, btkt did not tell him anything of the boy's record. "What!" exclaimed the professor. "I'm to play that boy? Quit your kidding." "All right, professor, but waltll you play him," warned the secretary. After a few strokes the professor began to realize that he was playln* with a lad who knew the game better tliun most of the men he had played. Keeping far from the net because of his smali stature, and using many of Tilden's tactics, the boy worked the professor so hard that he was glad he was not beaten more badly, losing both sets, 6--4, 6--3. It was not until after he bad shaken hands with the boy and congratulated him that the professor learned from the secretary whom be had been playing. • : . "•Well." said the professor, T dtdn*t do so bad when you consider that I was really playing Tilden."--New York Evening World. Police Dogs Not Part Wolf Police dogs are often supposed to be descended from wolves, but this is not so. They are directly descended from petceful German shepherd dogs. The fact that there have been no wolves in France since 1838 makes the theor. that they are part *<V absurd, sc.entists say. ^ If H Three Letters Prove It fm -it / Lowell, Mass.--"I am sending yon • few lines to let you know what good your medicine has done for me. 1 want you to let every one know that it has helped me in nervous troubles.
