New York, Oct. 3.-Patterning after
the old adage concerning setting a
thief to catch a thief. the convicts Of
Sing Sing have organized a society

Caped cOnylcts- The organization was
established by warden Mccormack and
thrown open to all who cared to Join.

LOCO convicts at Sing Sing have Joined.
Ihose members who subscribe to the
rules Of the society are allowed to en-
Joy their Saturday and Sunday after
moons in the big prison yard playing
baseball or doing almost anything else
that is respectable so long as they do
not attempt TO escape. After Joining,
the cOnvicts went so far as to appoint
their own monitors to see that no. one
was careless enough to wander away,
and raised a fund Of S175 which was
given TO the warden to be used in the
recapture Of convicts who should es-

War Cuts Prices and Puts
Theaters on a Less Formal
Basis in Worried London

London, Eng, Oct 3.-The war has
brought about two Innovations in the
leading London theaters. a reduction
Of prices. and the privilege Of sitting
in the best seats without wearing
evening dress. The stalls Of London
houses. which correspond to orchestra
seats in America. are ordinarily sold
at $3.50, but several Of the principal
theaters have reduced the prices to 81.
Although there was no hard and fast
rules, there was a custom which only
a few independent people had the
temerity 70 violate that every OCcu-
pant Of the stalls should wear evening
dress. The exceedingly fashionable
theaters controlled by Sir Herbert Beer
bohm Tree and Sir George Alexander
were among the first to recognize that
war is a time when fOrmalities are
at a discount.
When people are cutting off their
luXuries, and many in mourning or Op-
pressed with anxiety for relatives at
the front. theater going suffers a
sharp decline. In the interests Of the
many people who depend upon them
for a living the managers are doing
their best TO keep their houses open.
Profit sharing has been adopted by
many London and provincial estab-
lishmeuts.

New York. Oct 3-How New York
or rather the individuals which com
pose its population get their living IS
the subject Of an important report
just issued. The report shows that IN
1910 S21 per cent OF all males over
10 years old in this city were employed
in gainful occupations, a decrease OF
nine-tenths of one per cent from $500
OF females over 10 years Of age, guy
percent were gainfully employed in
1910, an increase Of 3-5 per cent over
1900. In 1910 about One-third less
children of both sexes between the
ages OF 10 and IS were at work than
in 1900.
The greatest number Of workers in
one line is thot Of the class called fe-
male servants, numbering I3.4O9,
while only about $4,000 male servants
are so classified. The next largest
class is made up Of male retail deal
ers. numbering 1Ol-529 as compared 10
1873 females in the same line.
The city boasts Of $500 actors, OF
which 1000 are males, although il is
doubtful whether at the present time
all of these could be enumerated as
Eainfully EMPLOYED. Music and its
study would seem to be popular, since
there are no less than 5000 maAs and
5000 female musicians and teachers OF
music.
Men still continue to make most Of
the clothes, there being $4,000 male
tailors as against 5000 females. There

Lack of Doctors Causes
Great Suffering in the
Army Hospitals Of SerOic

London. Eng, Oct 3.-The lack Of
doctors in Servia is causing great dis
tress in the hospitals. although nurses
are plentiful and willing. Every large
building in Nish. Uskub and other
cities is now a hospital and most Of
them are crowded with wounded.
In one Uskub hospital there was
only one doctor TO 1900 wounded. This
doctor had shown a marvellous endur-
ance. He performed operations and
dressed wounds continuously for SO
hours. He then collapsed from exhaus-
ton.
A curious coincidence occurred in
the same hospital a wounded Ser
Wan catpain saw an Austrian major
for whose wounds he was himself re-
spOusible in a bed on the opposite side
of the ward. He shouted the news
across the ward to the Austrian, who
was incredulous. But the Seryian gave
him particulars as TO time place and
nature of wounds The Austrian be-
came enraEed and eudeavOred TO re-
new the fight with his fists. He had

Rapidity With Which the
Wounds Of Soldiers Heal
Is Surprising the Surgeons

London, Eng, Oct 3-The rapidity
with which the wounds Of soldiers are
healed, and the practical absence Of
Dlood-poisoning cases has been q sur
prise IN view Of the deadly effective
ness OF the modern army weapons
The antiseptic treatment of wounds
almost Immediately after their inflic-
ton has great deal to do with the
TACT that cures are affected in such a
snort time as has been demonstrated
IN the London hospitals" said one Of
the physicians in attendance upon the
wounded British soldiers.
While surgery has made wonderful
strides in the last decade the results
might have been different were it not
mat the antiseptic preventive meas
urs have been applied with the utmost
efficiency.
Another very important reason lies
IN the fact that the bullet fired from
a modern rifle travels with such We
loclty as to Obviate the danger Of q
ragged wound, and unless vital or
gan lies in the path Of it, the recovery
presents no over-difncult problem.

SCARE WRAP HAS COME BACK
Elaborate and as Highly CoIored as
Wearer Wishes-They Have Been
Given Warm Welcome.

Between the mantle and no wrap at
all there is often an uncomfortable
gap that the light transparent scarf
does not fill. This has brought back
the pretty fashion of the scarf wrap,
or, to be more correct, it should be
called a scarf shawl, it is so wide.
Wrapped about the figure it often
looks like mantle. These scarfs are
generally two and half yards long
and yard of more wide. Sometimes
they are the width of the material
used, which may be even as much as
81 inches.
Some of the elaborate ones for even
ing are made of crepe de chine that
has a printed border on both sides.
These are outlined about the edge
with an ostrich feather band. Others
are of charmeuse, lined with con-
trasting color of charmeuse or chiffon,
plain or lowered. Such scarfs are
often striped with marabou and fur a
finishing band of it across the short
er edges.
