Iowa Youth Wins Beautiful

YORK, Neb., July 24.-Just one
wear ago Miss Josephine Patricia COL
Inns. one of this city's most charm
ing young women, was motoring
along a country road near this city
when a protruding nail in wooden
bridge punctured one of the tires OF
her care. She had worked for more
than an hour in her attempt to re-
move the tire and repair the dam
age. She was about to give up In
despair and return to her home with
a fiat tire when young man, fresh
from college and a sutton for her
hand, approached in another car.
Fixes Tire.
CPL fix that tire for you, jose
phine," he said.
And then John Cunningham-for
that is his name-proposed to Jose
phine.
Close friends assert that the young
woman told Cunningham that he
must do something really worth while
before she would become his bride.
She told him that he was a natural
inventor and that he should make
use Of his talent. She suggested that
he invent a tool that would Tighten
the work of removing and replacing
tires on wheels of motor cars. Miss
Collins shook her pretty head when
Cunnin CHAM demonstrated.

she said. But do not call on me un-

FOOTBALL GAME HAlTS WAR
British and German Soldiers Flight on

the Schedule.

Berlin.--A general order Issued by
the German army authorities prohibits
football games In the field between
German and English soldiers.
At Christmas time men from both
sides in the western theater Of war
fraternized and played holly contested
games OF football. Oficers and men
laid aside their arms and watched the
players and cheered them on.
The rivalry became SO intense that
war was forgotten and the men who
kicked the most goals received more
applause than is usually given heroes
on the fighting line.
At one place where the Germans
and British played the game was q
draw and the players agreed to sus-
pend fighting for two days more In
order to decide the issue on two
games out Of three.
News of this reached the military
authorized and II was decided that
football was interfering too much
with the business OF warfare. aside
from the complications arising from
too friendly contact between the ad-
vance guards.
The order was issued forthwith and
there will be no more athletic con.
tests between the soldiers. who also
are forbidden to fraternize or meet on
any terms except those OF bitter en-.
