WOMEN ARE BARRED
From Driving Motor Vehicles By British
Home Secretary.

! London, April % War work for WON,
en- has its official limitations. since the
home secretary refuses To grant licenses
to women who have successfully passed
the examinations required of drivers OF
motor vehicles. The reason the home
secretary gave TO the applicants was the
public's alleged lack of confidence in
women drivers.
could he not leave the public TO de-
eide thatY" asked Miss Phipps, president
of the National Federation Of Women
Teachers. in an address before that body
in London the past week.
Miss Phipps aired other grievances
against the government in which she had
the sympathy OF the teachers. The leg
islstlon closing the liquor houses TO
women until l30 a. M. and not 10 the
men was based on the lie. she said, that
most Of the drinking was done by sol
diers' wives. This ehe considered a dead
IN insult TO the women. Discrimination
IN the matter of wages existed in the
factories furnishing munitions of war,
she charged. as men received more pay
than the women for equivalent work.
Instead of putting children into the
harvest fields next summer, Miss phipps
proposed that the stronger and better
nourished boys from Eton and Harrow
and the other great schools be set at this
work.

BRYAN LOSES
IN IOWA
Democrats Fail to Take Adj

ELECT CONTRARY TO
SECRETARY'S ADVICE
Bad Precedent Set by Move
Toward Dicta-
ton

Washington, April 23.-William Jen'
nings Bryan's anti-liquor policy for the
Democratic party has signally failed in
Iowa, where, Wednesday Wilbur Marsh
of Waterloo was elected national COM
mittmsn from Iowa. Marsh is a veal
thy manufacturer and is associated with
the interests which are being opposed
by Bryan. His choice OF unanimous
vote OF the committee means that the
secrctary's recommendation in his ia
nous Remington letter a couple of
weeks ago have not be received with
favor in Iowa. 1t is the gossip here
that Iowa has set, from the secretary
of states point of view, a bad preced-
ent. aud that no particular attention
will be paid to the advice of the peer
less leader. OF course, it will be easy
for Mr.. Bryan to state that he never
intended to dictate the election OF state
officials OF the party, but that he merely
hoped that when the choice lay between
a liquor man and an anti-liquor man in
II community where the sentiment was
snti.liquor. the section would favor pop
ular opinion.

BRITISHERS BOUGHT
GERMAN WAR LOANS
Without Their Consent Their Money Sent
To Potsdam, Germany, for New
Golf Course, Was Invested
By German Bank.

Amsterdam, April ga number OF
prominent Englshmen, including Sir Ed
ward Goschen, former British ambassador
to Berlin, have unwttingly become pur-
chasers of some OF the latest German war
loan bonds.
The men in question were members of
the Berlin Golf club, which just before
the war raised by subscription among its
members cash fund of about $4,000,
for constructing and equipping splendid
new course near Potsdam. Pending the
beginning of operations, the fund was on
deposit with the Dresdener bank of Ber
lin when war was declared. The money
was sequestrated and now has been in
vested by order of its trustees in German
war loan securities.
Sir Edward Goschen was honorary
president of the club. Many of its Eng
Hsh members are now in the civilian in
ternment camp at Ruhleben.

WAR BABIES
WORRY BRITISH
10000 Unmarried Women and Girls Liy.
ing in Proximity To British Train
ing Camps Are Approaching
Motherhood.

London, April Admittedly the
greatest by.problem of the war will be
the caring for the war babies who arc
brought into the world without the sane.
ton Of church or state or u wedding cerc-
mony between their fathers and moth
ers.
Statistics completed here show that
there are 10000 unmarried women and
girls living in proximity to the great
| British training camps who are to be-
come mothers within the next few
months There are fully half that num-
Der additional in various other parts of
the country. In addition there are many
women whose husbands have been killed
at the front who are to add to the popu.
lation and who have only the meagre al
lowance granted to soldiers widows to
finance them through their ordeal.
In order to solve this problem repre-.
sentatives of over a score of sociological
and philanthropic relief societies met yes
terday privately in the headquarters of
the Women's Imperial Health association
to agree on a concerted plan for the re-
lief OF all who are approaching mother
hood. The representatives included the
duchess Of Marlborough, Lady London
derry, Lady Chelmsford and other we'll
known leaders in relief work. Muriel,
Viscountess Helmsley, is the head of the
general committee which has been named
to investigate the entire situation and
devise the general plan of relief It is
expected that yesterdays conference will
undertake the immediate relief of all the
women and girls in need, but win take
the position that the permanent solution
OF the problem must be taken up by the
government.
1t is the intention Of all the leaders d
the present work to have Parliament
pass bill which will legitimatize the
child of every soldier, and on production :
of proof that the child's father was Il |

EFFORTS WASTED.
Women's Relief Committees Made Flimsy
Sang-Bag Protectors.

London, April 23.--Bags OF light cot
ton cloth roughly stitched together with
fine thread have been received in great
numbers by relief committees from wom-
on who think these fiimsy contrivances
will answer the purpose OF sand bag pro-
lection for the soldiers at the front,
Miss NJ. l.. Tyler. head of committee
collecting thest lacks, has disclosed the
extent OF this wasted effort in warning
to women that the sand bags the soldiers
need must be made of iute or some heavy
material and that the sewing must be
done by string instead of thread.
Sand bags are not only the best bullet
shoppers, but the easiest and quickest
way of making protection. An urgent
call for them as life savers has been
made by officers at the front. The re-
suit is, sack making is fast taking the
place of muller and sock knitting among
patriotic women.

est daughter of Victor Hugo, died on
Wednesday at her residence in Suresnes,
suburb OF this city, at the age of IS

The sad and tragic story OF Adele
Hugo many years ago aroused the sym
pathy of the entire world As girl
she was kidnapped at Guernsey By an
English officer. All Europe was searched
for her by her parents, but they OBJ
tanned no trace of her whereabouts.
Several months later girl found wan

the daughter of Victor Hugo" This was
the only statement she ever made.
She was sent back to France TO her
parents. but her lips remained sealed
until the end aud the tragic story of
her life was never revealed. She failed
to entirely recover her reason, and after
the death of her father lived solitary
existence in her villa, morose and seldom
speaking. When she did consent to con
verse il never was of the past
Mile. Hugo's only appearances in pub
lie were when she went TO Paris To wit

plays. Apparently she had no friends
and never received visitors.

HOW She ENDED
TEN YEARS OF
SK|N-TORTURE

Oct. 2s, l9l4:--"I had eczema on my
face for ten years. Little red pimples
formed in small spot on my chin and
then spread all over my face. They
itched and burned me awfully. 1t was
certainly embarrassing to me, and I
would not go amongst people. / tried
almost every remedy and treatment
that could be used for this trouble, but
nothing did me any good. i used Res
mol Ointment and Resinol Soap, and
was relieved in a day or two. In one
month was cured. This was six
months ago and the trouble has never
returned."-(Signed) Mrs. G. G. Rob-
erts, Weatherford, Okla.
The Resinol treatment speedily heals
eczema, rashes, ringworm, and other
eruptions, and clears away disiguring
pimples and blackheads, even when
other treatments prove worse than use
less. Doctors have prescribed Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap for eigh-
teen years, and all druggists sell them.
