WOMEN ARE
RESPONSIBLE
FOR CRUSADE
Against Smoke According to
Osborn Monnett of the City
of Chicago in Speech.

PITTSBgRG, Oct. 25.-Women are
responsible for the crusade against
smoke according to Osborn Monnett,
former smoke inspector OF Chicago, in
a speech here today IN connection
with the Smoke Abatement Week
celebration
Tn each city in this country" said
Mr.. Monnett, in which a vigorous
campaign is being carried on against
the smoke nuisance, you will find that
the movement was inaugurated by
women,
There are very good reasons why
women should be interested in the
smoke abatement movement. The
biggest industry In the country Is not
steel, nor automobiles nor moving
pictures, but housekeeping. More
money is spent in housekeeping than
on any two Of the big industries OF
the United States. Yet very little
united effort is made in the cities to
prevent destruction OF this great in
dustry by smoke and dirt.
IAN average taken of the damage
one by smoke In Chicago. Cincinnati,
Buffalo and Cleveland shows that the
per capita cost is nearly $12, or about
$50 per year per family. The smoke
Investigation Of the Mellon Institute
figures that the percapita cost OF the
smoke nuisance in Pittsburg was
about $40, or 500 per family. What
family in your knowledge Is able to
spend this amount for damage done
by smoke and dirt?

Its advertising matter the removal
OF the purchasing limit for the one
cent sale to be held the last three
days OF this week at their store.
Last year, the privilege of pur-
chasing only two articles of the same
kind, one for the regular price and

tended to purchasers at a similar one
cent sale, This year. however, tho
limit is removed altogether. Any
purchaser may make as many double

VICTORY
In This State for the RepubIi-

Ever Robinson Says.

WELLSBURG. Oct. 25-Judge Ira
E. Robinson, Republican nominee for
governor. arrived here this morning
to attend the Brooke county barba-
cue. He was full of confidence af-
ter completing a tour through the
counties in the lower end Of the
state and declared that the Repub-
lican party in his opinion would win
greater victory in West Virginia
this year than ever.
There is no doubt that Rob-
inson has made wonderful gains over
his opponent within the last two
weeks. Straw votes taken during
the last week in Logan. Kanawha
Mercer. Roane and other counties in
that section indicate that he will not
only get all the Republican votes
there but that he will get more than
the usual majority. Last night the
judge addressed the biggest political
meeting ever held in the town OF
Reedy, Roane county.

PARIS, Oct. 25.--Verdun. long lost
sight Of, came suddenly and unex-
pectedly today In the forefront of the
public mind which exclusively had
been directed toward the battle OF
the Somme. The German front on
the right bank OF the Meuse literally
was swept away for distance of
four and half miles like straw be-
fore the wind.
General Neville for weeks past
had been watching the German move
ments like lynx. carefully calcu-
lating the effect OF every withdrawal
OF troops for transfer to the Somme
and eastern front At the same time
he quietly made his preparations and
when he judged the Germans had
thinned their defenses to the danger
point he struck like lightning. The
operations OF the campaign.
The Germans who yesterday were
pressing close on the inner lines of
defense at Fort Suyuille and
Tavannes have now been driven be-
yond the outer defenses OF the Fort
Douaumont-Vaux line. Yaux fort re
mains in possession Of the Germans,
but the French line extends beyond
it on the north at Vaux village and
Fumin wood and also on the south
Of 1t at Damloup battery and Che
nois wood from both of which posi-
lions it can readily be attacked.
The French artillery preparation
was brief but intense and was over
before the German commanders had
time to bring>up re-enforcements eY-
en- If they were available. The as
saulting French waves caught them
before the Germans recovered from
their surprise and swept over trench
after trench.
French losses were very light, II is
believed, even lighter than any re-
corded in the attacks on the Somme
front.
News OF the success has caused ire
mendous public enthusiasm here and
this is all the greater because OF the
greater impression that Verdun was
over and done with and that both
sides were contenting themselves with
holding what they had won. Today's
operations proving that the French
could strike a smashing blow at Yer
dun while carrying on an extended
offensive on the Somme has greatly
increased public confidence and gone
far to lessen the depression caused by
the loss Of Constanza.
