WOMEN! HERE'S ONE
Says you save s. In an hour by
dry cleaning everything
with gasoline.


Dry cleaning at home is just as
simple as laundering. Any woman can
clean FIVE dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
and put this in two gallons of gaso-
line, where it quickly dissolves. Then
immense articles to be cleaned; rub a
little and in few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as new.
You can dry clean silk waists,
dresses. coats, ribbons, kid gloves,
satin shoes, evening slippers, shawls,
belts, yokes, furs, boas, muffs, neck
ties, lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses
draperies, fine laces, lace curtains,
wooden garments, in fact, any and
everything that would be ruined by
soap and water as dry cleaning doesn't
fade, shrink or wrinkle, making press
ing unnecessary.
Your grocer or any garage will sup
ply the gasoline and you can obtain
two ounces of solvite at the drug
store, which is simply gasoline soap
Then a wash boIer or large dishpan
completes your dry cleaning outfit. AS
gasoline is very inf1ammable be sure
to do your dry cleaning out of doors
or in a room away from fire or flame
with the windows left open.-Adv.

WINTERS MUST
LOSE HIS ARM
To SAVE LIFE

The right arm of Scott Winters,
second sergeant of police, is to be
amputated at the shoulder this after
noon at Reid hospital. It is an
emergency operation and doubts have
been expressed as to his ability to
survive the ordeal because of his
weakened condition. Attending ply
sfcians state that the only chance to
save his life depends upon the sue
cess of the operation.
Following an attack of pneumonia.
complicated by acute heart trouble, a
blood clot formed in the artery of
Winters right arm, above the elbow,
deadening all the lower part of the
arm. To overcome the effects of this
clot an amputation is necessary. The
operation was delayed for several
days hoping that Winters would gain
more strength but he grew weaker in
stead.
Winters for several days has been
insisting upon the amputation. He
realizes the seriousness of his con-
dition but has gaZed upon a menacing
fate with smiling face and VITA jokes
for his friends Today he expressed a
desire to see his old comrades on the
force and many of the officers called
upon him at the hospital. He referred
to the operation as a gambler S
chance" and said he was ready to
take the risk, the success of which
means possible recovery, failure, GER
,ain death.
Winters is one of the veteran mem
bers of the police department and has
a splendid record for efficiency, COO
judgment and fearless performance oil
his duties.

WAR

The war losses in the principal
countries of Europe have been sum
med up by Frank H. Simonds, in the
Review of Reviews and in doing so
he discloseS some startling facts about
the great losses in men killed and per
manently injured.
The Germans do not issue any state
ment of their total losses, but they do
post lists bearing the m Of the
killed, wounded, and missing. These
lists are tabulated in neutral and bel
Hgerent countries and thus we get
from time to time from Amsterdam,
from Berne, and from London the fig.
ures of German losses; these figures
are obtained by adding the totals of
the past lists and those of the new
lists.
Yet in Great Britain and in America
the announcement in the House was
misunderstood and many comments
have been made on the supposition
that the figures cited in Parliament
were the British estimates, not the Ger
man admissions, and these figures
have been used to confound the OBJ
servers, who, like myself, have esti-
mated the German losses to be much
greater thar their lists disclosed. Such
estimates may be wrong, the German
official statements may be correct, but
the announcement made in the House
has no bearing, because it was a mere
statement Of the figures which came
from German lists.
But these figures have a particular
value. At the end of November the
Germans had lost in killed, according
to their lists, deaths from sickness
included, something over 600, 000; in
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1916-03-09

prisoners, missing included, a little
less than 400 900; in wounded, a little
under 1900, 600. Their total loss was,
then, something under $500, 900.
The British losses for about the
same period were officially announced
in Parliament to be 530,O0O,-120, O0G
killed, 10000 captured, 100000 wound
ed. Compare the two and it will be
seen that the percentage of killed to
wounded is about the samoa little
higher in the German case, but we
know that the Germans report only
serious wounds, as do the French,
which the British report all wounds,
however slight. The percentage of
captured in both cases is practically
the same. 1t is reasonable to conclude
then that the familiar ratio of killed
to total casualties, anywhere from one
in four to one in FIVE, is holding good
in this war.
But the other day a French Social
ist deputy was quoted as saying in
England that the total French losses
in the first eighteen months of the
war had been $500, O00,-700, 900 killed,
1,400, 900 wounded, and 400, 900 captur-
ed. This was instantly seized upon
and used to prove that the French
were rapidly approaching exhaustion.
The figures were, of course, prepos-
ferrous. Quite possibly the French &C
tually suffered 100000 casualties in
the first eighteen months,-this is the
figure generally accepted,-but if they
have we shall find that the ratio Of
killed to wounded will be about the
same as the German; the figure for
the prisoners does meet the probabili-
ties.
But if the French casualties were
$500, 900, then the German figure must
be far higher, for the French loss rep
resents a so per CEN loss on the high
est figure anyone has suggested for
French numbers, namely 5000, 900.
Now the French have, on the whole.
done less steady fighting than the
Germans, who have been engaged
either in the West or the East or in
both fields without interruption since
the wal began until December last. If
the French, then, have lost so per
cen of their resources in men, the
Germans have lost the same at least,
and that would mean around 1000, 600,
which is about what has been estimat-
ed. Accepting the usual ratio, this
would mean: killed, 925,O00; wounded,
1926, 900; captured, 100000.
The last German figures hat we
have place the Prussian losses alone
at just less than 100000 Bavaria,
Saxony, and Wurtemburg issue their
own lists and on the basis of popula-
ton, they would add around 500 1000 to
the total, making 10000 600 in all
1000, 900 less than would be expected,
on the basis of French losses. What
is the explanation of this disparity?
The Allies believe that it is found in

the alleged custom of the Germans to
include in their casualties only those
who are permanently disabled; that is,
they declare that German reports show
the permanent wastage only. Colonel
Repington, the military correspondent
of the Times of London, fixes at
2,700, 900 the permanent German loss
for the first eighteen months.
This last figure is pretty close to the
German losses, as admitted in their
official statements or lists of 3,OOO.0 600.
Hilaire Belloc estimates for the same
period that the German permanent loss
has been $3.50, 900 to 3,75O,000, and as
serts that the French General Staff
estimates place it above 1000, 900 after
the most exhaustive examinations,
Personally l believe that 5000, 900 is a
conservative estimate. This accepts
Colonel Repington's 100000 and
merely adds 800, 900 to cover what is
known as 'temporary-permanent loss"
This rather complex thing is thus ex-
planned: At any given moment there
will be several hundred thousand men,
whose wounds will presently heal and
permit them to return, but who can
not go back at that moment. This is
a constant element and will remain so.
Thus at the end of the war, there will
be these thousands of men, with un.
healed wounds, who in a few months
would be available.

How are steel balls made?


In most cases steel balls for bearings
are forged in sets, each ball being con
nected to the adjacent M during the
forging operation. The connections are
afterward cut away by a press and
each ball placed In a cutting die. In
spectiOns are frequently made during
every operation. The next step Is the
~annealing to remove internal strains.
and then the balls are aged or allowed
to remain idle for a week or two. The
balls are then rough ground to remove
the coating produced by forging. A
finer grinding then is given, and the
balls now are slightly oversize and al
most Of the desired sphericity. Heat
treatment in a special furnace then fol-
lows In order to tougher the steel, and
later hardening and tempering treat
ments are given. The balls are hard
ened completely, and after this they
are ground to size within 10000 inch
Of size. this amount of metal being al
lowed for the finishing and polishing.
