'America For Americans"
CilRL MAKES SUCCESS AS A
•NKWBOY"
So far as known, the Dispatch
has the first "newsglrl" in Alaska.
M ss Alice Lebrecht, aged 14, eld
est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A
Lebrecht of Treadwell. is the young
ladv who has broken into this new
field of work for the girls of the
Northland and' with such success
t.'iax the Dispatch Island representa
t've, O. E. Bennett, declares, ''Mj
newsgirl is the beat 'newsboy,* l'v<
got."
Tnrough all the rain, -wind, snow
arid sl»»t of last winter Alice faith
fully and sturdily carred the papei
to uer srowinp: list of TreadweL
suns*.ribers. She is unusually largi
and strong f<>r her age and thf
wildest TaJcu entirely failed t<
daunt her.
It is possible that her Belgian
parentage and' American rearinj
may account for the indomitabli
sp -it and admirable enterpris<
vhich have made her such a sue
cess at the work. The expertmen
of letting a ^irl handle the rout<
has worked' out so satisfactorily
that it is more than- probable tha
the D;?patch will add other news
sirls in the near future.
An interesting feature of thi
matter is wiat Alice does with tin
money she makes—sh« is putting
it all into thrift stamps to hel]
whin the kaiser.—Dispatch.

AT LOSS OF LEGS

Asks for Typewriter.
VICTIM OF HUN BRUTALITY
Both Legs Amputated Re»ult *f
Injuries Received Whu Germane
Bombed Hospital, He Has Become
Champion Optimist and Cheer Pro
ducer of War—Amazee Doctors and
Nurses.
Probably the champion optimist and
cheer prpducer .that Uncle Sam's war
against the Hun has developed la a
ruddy-faced lad who Is now a patient
at Walter Reed General hospital Just
outside of Washington. His name Is
Aubrey McLeod. • >
McLeod had worked part of hlj way
through Purdue when the call came
from his country for troops on the
Mexican border. McLeod, then a great,
husky bear of a boy—he Is twenty
three now—went with the first lot to
keep the Mexicans from murdering
outside of their-own bailiwick.
When President Wltson accepted the
bloody gauntlet thrown down by the
Hun. McLeod, having been mustered
out, took virtually the next boat for
France. He enlisted In the Harvard
ambulance unit. Shortly thereafter
he was doing his work of mercy at an
English Atnericun base sector, where
he saw six months' service.
Hunt Bomb Hospital.
One night last September, while
McLeod was asleep In the hospital
tent several Hun aviators flew over
the place dropping bombs. The explo
sions killed Lieut. William T. FlUtlm*
sons of the army jnedlaal reserve
corps, and three privates. Lleuts. C!*r»
ence A. McGuire. Thaddeus D. Smith
and Rea W. Whidderi, offlceri of the
reserve corps, six privates, an army
medical corps nurse and 22 woanded
British Tommies, were injured. Mc
f.eod wss one of the private* wounded.
Both feet were shattered. Two big
holes were torn In his back. Gas gan
grene set in, uud the feet w«re ampu
tated. .
But Mcleod's cjiefry (Hsposftlon re
mained untouched. ATI he suld was,
"Cut 'em off. doctor: give me a pair
if wooden feet and I'll go back to sol
iierlng."
On four different occasions after
that McLeod'* wounds developed gas
{angrene and speedy amputations were
lecessary. After the five operation*.
UcI.eod's two legs were left no longer
•.hau a man's Angers.
And despite all this, McLeod Is the
>ame cheery, enthusiastic boy that he
*as when.be entered tljeLservlce.
McLeod's case Is unique la medical
ilstory. The army medical corps doc
tors are going to try to fit artificial
egs to the stumps that are left him.
If they are successful, It jvlll be the
Irst time on record that a man with
juch short amputations will have re
;alned what McLeod calls the "ex
. julsite Joy of waiting." With such
, «hort stumps he will have to "walk
with his shoulders." McLeod says he'll
I 'do It or bust."
Amaies the Doctor*.
, Tne army doctors are constantly
imazed at MeLeod's unquenchable
•pirit. Xhev have seen few who look
'orward to a life of contentment and
ictual Joy after tribulatloB. But he
ioes. Because of this inspiring men
• :al attitude of MeLeod's, the army doe
» lors want td~keep him, If possible, In
- '.he service to do work in special hos
, pita 1 s and rehabilitation work to help
them bring wouuded Sammies back to
mental as well as physical health.
ilcLeod, In.ward B, is a Joy to the
' truiy doctors, the army nurses, and all
: patients with whom he comet in con
tact.
Outside of his desire to try out his
- irtlttcial legs. McLeod bas one obse*
f sion. He wants a typewriter. He
. I iv a tits It badly.
I OVERALLS FOR SKIRTS
Factory Girls in Indiana Decide to
, Wear Them.
| Thlrty-tlve girls employed at Ue
plant of a buggy company, in Evans
1 ville, Ind., now wear overalls at their
work. Many of the girls who took the
• places of men who now are fighting la
r France or are at some military canton
; ment have found that skirts Interfere
with their work. A mass meeting of
L the girls was held recently at the ftp.
, tory, and by a unanimous vote It wae
, decided that they should discard skirts
' for overalls. A few girls and women
r have worn overalls in their homes tad
s gardens, but this will be the first time
c member* of the sex have worn them
i In an Evansville factory.
Hun Bibles Waste Paper.
German Bibles are waste paper. Ia

stations and when the material was

Irish Train Sett New Reeerd.
A record for railroad traveling ll
reported from Ireland. A special train
on the Great Northern railroad made

HITS AT WARMONGERS
Maximilian Harden Says They
Should Be Muzzled.
German Editor Find* No Justification
For Gloating Over Alleged Teu
tonic Triumphs.
London.—By reading the following
extract from a recent number of the
Zukunft. Maximilian Harden's German I
newspaper, one may understand why
Herr Harden is gti constant difficulties
with the military nuthprlties:
"Aft€»' all. what special Justification
Is there for the Pan-Germans and the
war at any price mouth heroes to gloat
aver recent triumphs over the Eng
¥sh?
"It Is true thnt the U-boats have'5
contrived to brln;; It about that In an
English hotel or hoarding house no
more meat Is supplied at breakfast and
that afternoon tea guests receive only
an ounce and a half of bread or cake.
Also an old maid of Dover, who fed
her fourteen little dogs with milk and
biscuits, has had to atone for her
crime with a five pound note. All this,
however, does not yet spell the decay
of the British empire.
"It Is time that the warmonger#
were muzzled and that the authorities
once for all cave them to understand
tbst they are determined, whenever
the claims of any nation or proup of
peoples are found to be.Justified, that
Germany would honestly aid them In
establishing themselves on a clean ba
sis of self-government.
JIS) UU1 I UIC19
there !s time that, unless a new order
be substituted for the old one of vio
lence and force, human life will be
come Intolerable and all hopes of hu
man development will he rendered
sterile for aces to come.
"Questions of the very highest Im
port are at *take. questions that are
not concerned about securing Ger
many's world power, but that Involve
the utilization of that power In the up
building of a new, bright and Joyful,
human world. In which, If Its founda
tions are to stand strong for all time,'
every nation, the greatest, the small
est—Germany as well as all the others
—must sacrifice self to secure Its
neighbor's welfare.
"This Is the command of the hour
Dare Germany hesitate in obeying it?"
Mother never made better Ice
cream than that which is served
b/. Keller Bros, at their sanitary
9Cda fountain. Have you tried it?
THE POWER OF STEAM.
Many Mar See Hot It Take* Genius to
Iteullse.
When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to Jump up and
down he said "There must be power in
that steam that It can lift such' a
weight."
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen tho
same phenomenon and regarded it 63
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
Anger on the "causa" of Dandruff, Fall
ing llatr. and consequent Baldness, and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair.
Newbro's Herpiclde destroys • this
(rerm t-.id consequently restores the
hair to its natural state.
