SAN FAR NCI SCO July 2-The
peaceful old Pre.sidi > of San Francis
co, lo^al army post since the early
days of California’s history, was the
scene recently of the retirement from
army life o fthe hero of one of the
few survivors of the Balangiga mas
sacre, in Samar. Taylor B. Hickman
of Knoxville, Tenn., master sergeant,
was called forward from his company
and complimented feelingly by a su
perior officer for his twenty-six years
of inspiring service as a soldier of the
United States.
Hickman was told he was still a
sergeant only because he had modest
ly thrust aside a commission. A deco
ration was pinned on his chest, hands
were clasped and the old hero of Bal
angiga walked back to his quarters,j
a soldier no longer, but a greater hero j
than ever.
Seventy one enlisted men and three
officers of Company C, Ninth United
States Infantry, went into camp at
Balangiga, Island of Samar, in the
Philippines, twenty-three years ago.
A few days later occurred the attack
on these men, and the massacre which
in the annals of the American army
has been compared to the last stand
of Custer. Totally without warning
and while at breakfast the Americans
were rushed by hundreds of Visayans
armed with heavy knives called bolos.
The three officers were killed in the
first onslaught. The fight lasted well
over two hours, and the next day the
eight American survivors, including
Sergeant Hickman, reached Basay by
native canoes. The natives killed by
the Americans number 250.
1H OF FORTY YEARS
HE LOST BLOOM OF IS
CHICAGO, July 2—Middle-aged wo
men who regard the modern beauty
parlor as the fulfillment of their Ponce j
de Leon dreams were given a set-back i
at the final session of the American !
Medical Association in convention here
recently. The X-ray in particular, as !
a treatment for beautifying women
was vigorously denounced.
“It is impossible for a 40-year-old
woman to acquire the complexion and
facial characteristics of a girl of six
teen,” said Dr. Ernest D. Chipman of
San Francisco.
“So-called beauty parlors using the
X-ray as a method of bringing girl
hood vigor to women is a farce,” he
said. “The beauty parlors do more
harm than good.”
Dr. H. T. Cooke of Los Angeles also
spoke, dwelling upon the use of co
caine in childhood.
“By this method,” he said “child
birth is made practically painless and
without harm to mother or child.”
MODERN RHINE GOLD
CARRIES OLD CURSE
COLOGNE, June 27.—In the Co
logne police courts a story has been
brought to light of a Rhine fisherman
who believed he had landed” untold
wealth in his net. Fishing in the
river just below the new harbor of
Neihl he drew pp his net to find it full
of 100 trillion mark notes with ap
proximately $24 each. He filled his
ruchsack with this modern Rhine
gold and went home highly pleased
with his catch.
While the notes were spread out to
dry he was visited by a peddler to
whom in the fullness of his heart he
handed three of the notes and the
peddler celebrated his good fortune by
calling at three of the inns and anx
ious to avoid the curse attached Ic
so much wealth and possibly distrust
ful of its origin, he obtained small
change for all the notes that evening.
