WOMEN WORKERS IN
ALL OF THE SHOPS
City Always Presents Mill
tary Appearance, With
Soldiers Everywhere and
Officers Wearing Decora-
lions Much in Evidence.

'
Berlin, Nov. 15.-(By MaiD-Should
Americans, who formerly came to
Germany on vacations. come to Berlin
today they would notice many inter
esting changes. The "side lights" of
the city, are now old sights to the in
habitants, but travellers remark How
Berlin has changed"
Under Friedrichstrasse they are
building a big tunnel for the under
ground railway. Steam shovels and
pile drivers are at work, dummy trains
are running underground carrying
away the dirt which is being excavat-
ed. Some parts of Friedrichstrasse,
which is one of the busiest streets in
town, are covered with heavy boards
to enable the traffic to go on. but
underneath the workers labor indus
triously every day. But this is not
the biggest change they would see.
WORKERS ARE WOMEN.
If they looked down one of the en-
frances or watched the workers come
up for their MONDAY meal they would
see the change because 80 per cent
OF the workers are women. Women
run the little trains, dig the tunnels.
shovel the dirt, run the steam shovels
and do almost anything. And, they
are all big, healthy German women
who do the work almost as we'll as the
men did 1t formerly.
Women are today doing a great deal
of the work in Berlin. Practically all
mail carriers are women. With very
few exceptions all street car motor
drivers and conductors are women.
Womea run the elevators in the stores,
they sell the goods and trim the win
dows. Many women are now employed
in the underground railroads. too, al
though in some places their jobs have
been taken by soldiers discharged
from service in the army, many of
whom wear the black and white rib
bons of the iron cross in the lapel of
their service coats.
MAKING MUNITIONS.
When the travellers walk down the
side streets they see small shops turned
into munition factories and women
working at machines making shells In
the. factories practically all hands are
feminine ones, although the factory
managers are men, many of them too
old for military service.
But despite all this there are thou
sands of men to be seen every place.
Many have already served in the army
and have been wounded and dis
charged, while others are exempt for
service. The big hotels still have many
men employees but not so many as in
peace times. Some of these are en-
ployed as intelligence officers and are
serving their country in this way.
Soldiers are everywhere, many on
vacations and many still serving in the
big Berlin garrisons. There is an
abundance of officers, most of whom
wear their decoration ribbons. show
ing that they have been serving at the
front and have been rewarded FOR
bravery.
NO EVIDENCE OF SHORTAGE.

DIARY TELLS OF THE TRAGIC
DEATH OF LIEUT.. RIDLEY
Aviator of British Army
Vainly Sacrificed His Life
on Libyan Desert in Effort
to Aid Mechanic.

London. Nov. 15.-(By MaiD Out
on the Libyan desert, where the British
camel corps is operating, little mound
of stones marks the point where Second
Lieutenant Stewart Gordon Ridley
vainly sacrificed his life to save that
of an air mechanic named j. A. Gar
side.
Ridley. an aviator operating with the
Imperial Camel corps with Garside and
another pilot, went out on scouting
trip last June and after flying for half
an hour Ridley's machine broke down.
After making camp for the night, the
other pilot decided to return to the
base for assistance and return the next
day to pick up Ridley and Garside.
Upon his return the men had disap-
peared and it was only after four
days search that their bodies were
found.
DIARY TELLS THE STORY.
diary kept by Garside shows how
the two men ran short of water and
how Ridley, hoping that Garsde might
survive on the few drops of water re-
naming, shot himself. The diary
reads:
"Friday--Mr. Gardiner left for Me-
heriq, and said he would come back
and pick one of us up. After he went
we tried to get the machine going and
succeeded in flying about 25 minutes
We tinkered with the engine and sue
ceeded in flying about five miles Sat
urday.
COULDN'T START ENGINE.
"Sunday-We are so weak, we can't
get the engine started. Water running
short, only half bottle. Mr.. Ridley
suggested walking up the hills and VIC
eventually got there; very done up.
Walked back; about teaspoonful of
water left. At 1890 tonight. Mr.. Rid
ley shot himself while my back was
turned. No more water. don't know
how to go on: got one Verey light;
can't last much longer.
Monday-Thought of water in COM
pass. got half a bottle; seems to be
some kind of spirit. Can last another
day. Fired Lewis gun. about four
rounds; shall fire my Verey light to-
night; last hope unless help comes.
COULD last days If had water
In making a report of the tragedy,
the captain of the Imperial Camel corps
attached Garside's dairy and wrote
beneath:
There is no doubt in my mind that
Ridley shot himself in the hope of
saving Garside.'

DREsDEN's FAMOUS CLAY.
Its Value Was Brought to Light by .
 Freak of Fashion.

Its Value Was Brought to Light by a
 Freak of Fashion.
 Did you know that the discovery of the material which makes translucent chinaware possible was due to the van ity of man-not mankind, which in- cludes woman, but to masculine man? It came about in remarkably devious manner, beginning and ending little way from the spot where Dresden china is still manufactured. The man who identified the long sought substance was an eminent chemist, John Freder- ick Boettcher, but the scientist would never have had the substance to an alyze had 1t not been for the circum- stances of a muddy road the vanity of society beaus and a shrewd business man who thought he had found a profit able means of catering to that vanity.
 The man was riding from his iron foundry by short cut when his horses hOofs stuck in the mud. That mud next day disintegrated into a fine white powder when it was thoroughly dry. The founder conceived the idea of turning the white clay into powder for the fashionable bob wigs of court dan dies. Even the king, Augustus of Sax ony, fell for it, but it was not satisfac- tory, so Augustus ordered the chemist, Boettcher, to analyze it to find if it was injurious. To his amazement the man of science found that this Ores den clay was the same substance that had been used for 1900 years in China in the making of the ware that had never been initiated anywhere else in the world-St. Louis Globe Democrat

A Delayed Execution.

An eighteenth century executios on Remington common was stopped for time owing to a strange cause. On Aug. 19, 1763, two days before the date of the execution. heavy fog came over London, accompanied by thunder and lightning and torrents of rain. These conditions lasted for nearly for ty-e.glt hours, and many people be- lieved that the last day had arrixed. When the time fixed for the execution arrived the assembled crowd cried shame on the sheriff for hanging mai when the world was coming to an end. As he persisted in his preparations, they burst through the barriers and stopped the proceedings, shouting that the culprit might as well wait q few minutes. when the grand summons would come to all. The sheriff had tS obtain the assistance of force of sol 1iers before the execution could be car ried out

Convincing Testimony

Given By Many Stafford Springs People.

 Those who have had weak kidneys
 Who used Doan's Kidney Pills
 Who found the remedy effective- Such statements prove merit
 You might doubt an utter stranger.
 You must believe Stafford Springs people.
 Here's Stafford Springs proof. Verify it.
 Read. Investigate. Be convinced.
 You'll find why Stafford Springs folks believe in Doan's.
 Chas Kingston, Center St., Stafford Springs, says: "I had back ache for quite sometime. As I was on my feet great deal, this seemed to irritate it and it was greatly annoying, There was steady pain and I noticed it mostly when stopped. At such times, it was hard for me to straighten up. Mornings, my back felt very lame and sore. I haven't felt any of these troubles since I used Doan's Kidney Pills three years ago. I recommend them very highly.''

A Shabby Coat Collar.

Very often the collar of a coat begins to look shabby when the coat is in good order, and it is wonderful what a difference thorough cleaning will make. First take piece of clean cloth and dip it in spirits of turpentine and rub the collar thoroughly with it. Leave it for ten minutes, then rub it again with the turpentine and scrape it care fully to remove any loose dirt. Next sponge the collar with little alcohol and keep wiping it until it is dry. Hang it up ill an airy place for an hour or two and it will look as good as new Boston Herald.

The Evil Eve.


 It is probable that the ''evil eye," for which many hapless old women were harried to their death on the suspicion of witchcraft in ''the good old days" was no more than a common squint, a least" in the eye, or, "bossing," as it is called in many parts of the country to this day, writes Dr. N. Bishop Har- man in the British Journal of Chil- dren's Diseases. Not only was the squint thought to be of evil signifi- canoe. but the defect itself was con- sidered to be the work of evil spirits. In "King Lear we find the following in the scene on the heath at night:
 "This is the foul fiend Flibbertigib- get. He begins at curfew and walks till the first cock; he gives the web and the pin, squints the eye and makes the harelip, mildews the white meat and hurts the poor creature of earth"
