STORM ON CAMP
Thunder and Rain Closed Day
for the Women.
Fair Recruits Had to Wash
Their Own Dishes.
SMOKING IN CAMP FORBIDDEN
Reason for Ruling Suppressed
by the Censor.
Big Change From Dancing
Pumps to Army Boots.

Washington, May ga shower with
thunder that rolled like heavy artil-
lery gave zoo weary, limp, aching
limbed rockies" out at the women's
national service camp a warlike finish
to the hardest day they have yet had.
During the day a veteran marine
corps noncom. made hit with girl
soldiers by praising their aptitude in
drill. He attributed it to the fact that
most of them were good dancers.
A drill sergeant was not quite so po-
lite She tried to be very stern as the
companies lined up for drill.
Look at those shoe laces-why
aren't they tied neatly" she de-
manded.
A brave private piped up: We'll,
we've been wearing dancing pumps all
winter and these shoes blister our
feet"
The sergeant whispered an aside
same here" and let it go at that.
Washed the Dishes.
Several girls experienced their first
reprimand, though, for trying to go
through drill with blouses instead of
their khaki coats.
One thing the campers think they
have on mere males is the ability to
meet the kind of emergency that arose
this. evening when the dishwashers
failed to show up. They set about do
ing the task themselves and were most
anxious that all war news carry the
information that they got away with
it,
Bandaged Their Bugler.
Today four girls got even with the
buggy who sounds the call for them
to get up at $50 o'clock every morn
ing. They used him for Lay figure"
in the first aid class They bandaged
him from head to foot, until he looked
like Houdin, and practiced holding
him at arms length
THAT was a long ways to fall if
they dropped me- he said as he was
told to go to his bugling.
The censorship is clamped down
tight on the reason for rule that
went forth today:
No smoking in camp"
One thing is not orbidden-a bout
the only one, some of the girls think
and that is mail. Their only trouble
is in finding time to read the morning
letters.
This afternoon John Barrett, direc-
tor general of the Pan-American un-
ion, and Mrs. Frank c. Odenheime err
president general. United Daughters
of the Confederacy, lectured.
Sees Danger to Q. S. in Mex.
Ell Paso, May General Obregon
may bring up the subject of a speedy
withdrawal of the American troops in
Mexico at his next conference with
General Scott according to information
from Juarez. He will not press the
matter, but simply to urge again upon
the American conferee, the danger of
irritating the Mexican people, if the
troops remain south of the Rio
Grande. AS far as the United States
is concerned, however, it is pointed
out, there is not likely to be any
change of attitude. American officials
expected the final conference prob
ably would take place today. How
ever, General Obregon, may be unable
to get ready for the meeting before
Saturday

own distiller. It's the simplest thing
in the world. All you have to do is to
take little phial of zanol, mix it with
little sugar, a little water and a lit
tie alcohol, and presto, you have a full
quart bottle of whisky. Two minutes

clares this method of making whisky
saves the maker so per cent over the
regular dealers prices.
FOrty-Eight Quarts for 81.
Farther along the circular makes
the proposition, even more alluring. 1t
states that forty-eight bottles of Zanol
cost 81 and that means that the pur-
chaser can get forty eight quarts of
whisky for 81, counting nothing for
the cost of sugar, water and a mite of
alcohol. The Zano1 proposition APP
pears to have the old fashioned still
beaten in every direction and county
officers are not now surprised to find
that the t'stills story was a fake. Why
should anyone want to spend time and
good money, take a chance on going
to the federal penitentiary. then to the
state penitentiary, when for four dol
lars he can supply a whole town with
whisky made from Zanol?
Robert Carver, assistant county at
torney, is looking up the Zanol propo-
Sition. He has serious doubts of its
legality, although the circular is cal
culated to set all those questions at
rest.
TT may be-" said Carver, that the
Zanol people can get away with it, but
l doubt it. If they can we just have
another prolific source of trouble" q

followed by general rise that in some
cases amounted to 1850 compared with
yesterdays finish.
Reports that Hessian fly was present
in 20 counties of Kansas, the most ex-
tensive infestation ever known in that
state, tended later to stimulate buying

GERMANY is CALM
Scarcely Ripple of Excitement
Apparent in Berlin.
Even Anti-Ameriean Papers
Restrain Comment.

President Will Announce Deci-

RESULTS DEPEND ON ENGLAND
BUIIETIN.)


Washington, May 6.-The official
text of Gernany's note fully decided
and laid before President Wilson to-
day shows no material differences
from the unofficial text published
yesterday in news dispatches. This
strengthens the probability that
diplomatic break has been averted. at
least for the present.
Berlin, May 6-The text of the
German reply to the American note
was printed in extra editions of the
papers, but caused hardly ripple of
excitement. No crowds gathered
around the newspapers offices and the
people in general showed marked
calmness-
Nota BILE restraint was shown in the
limited comment made in the note in
the papers, even Count Won Revent-
low usually a caustic critic of Ger
man-American relations, disposes of
the matter with a single line referring
his readers to previous editorials for
his opinion.
The Kreuse Zeitung also declines to
criticise and contented itself with re-
ferring to previous discussions of the
issue in question. On the whole the
German press appears satisfied with
the tenor of the reply from Berlin al
attitude of the newspapers are not
wholly inspired.
Depends on British Actions.
1.-The note is inspired by a sincere
wish to avoid a break with the United
States. The government, in ignoring
the tone of President Wilson's note
has gone straight to the point wherein
there is a possibility of an agreement
by offering to conduct the subma-
rine controversy within the limits of
international law. This is the last
and furthest concession that Germany
can make and should the expectations
that England now stay within the
bounds of international law, be de-
ceived, the government reserves full
liberty of action"
Up to Americans,
The Taegliche Rundschau while ex-
pressing the opinion that the note
should have taken a different charac-
ter, urging that the expression of di-
moment. and that everybody should
subordinate his own judgment and
stand behind the government
After Germany has undertaken this
doubly difficult sacrifice" says this
paper, Germans are entitled to ex-
restore the freedom of the seas as
against all belligerents. 1t is now up
to the American people to show be-
fore all the world whether their pur-
pose was to protect the rights of hu-
inanity or to act as England's ally with
a view to cripple us and Illustrate our
victory"
The Berlin Tageblatt contents itself
with summarizing the main points of
the note and expressing hope that it
Will attain its aim in preventing war
with America

MILK STRIKE OFF
Trouble Averted by Granting
Raise to Drivers.
"WalkOut" Called for Midnight
Last Night.

Chicago. May 6.-The milk wagon
drivers strike which was called at
midnight last night was settled after
the men had been out but three hours
The strikers demands were granted in
full by the Bowman company, the first
concern against whom the strike or
der had been put into force. The
Bowman company granted the drivers
a raise of 81 a week and agreed to
eliminate solicitors. 1t is expected
that other companies will follow the
lead of the Bowman company before
the strike is put into effect against
them

Senator I. NJ. Mahin of Smith coun-

before the state supreme court will
doubtless be back in the state legisla-
ture next winter without serious OPP
position. It IS believed Senator Mahin
will be renominated without a fight
although opposition candidates have
on several occasions been mentioned.
To date there has been no other an
nouncementS.
In the sessions of 1875 Senator
Mahin made an excellent record in the
senate. He was the author of a num-
Der of important enactments and his
work on the floor and in the commit
tees placed him among the half dozen
leaders of the upper house. Senator
Mahin, who is one of the most able
lawyers of the Sixth district, came to

NIahin Is Coming Back
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1916-07-29

Those who have mastered the art of
crocheting or the making of tatting
find themselves able to make many
beautiful things for personal wear and
for the adornment of their homes. The
tatting edgings are prettier than fine
handmade cluny or flet laces that are
extravagantly high in price, and are
used for the same purposes. The great
advantage in using hand crochet or
tatting in lingerie or for table decora-
lions lies in their durability. These
handmade laces last for years and
may be made up with linen with the
certainty that they will probably out
last it.
Just now both tatting and crochet
laces are liked for table sets, consist
ing Of a centerpiece and two sets of
doilies, one small and one larger set.
Narrow crocheted edging is used also
for the Japanese printed sets In blue
and white that stand any amount of
wear and Tubing. They are delightful
for the breakfast or lunch table. Tat
ting sets are beautiful and rank with
fine hand-embroidered linens for table
