made to minimize the seriousness OF
the submarine controversy and one
senator in the COINCIDENCE OF the White
House was quoted as saying he thought
tho situation tho most serious that
had faced the United tSates since tho

President Wilson was represented
as calmly determined to steadfastly
maintain the right OF Americans TO
travel on armed merchantmen.
While the president Is represented
as having come to the conclusion
that the submarine negotiations
should be settled without moro delay,
Germany has not replied to the latest
request from Washington for dec
laration that Its previous assurances
for the safety OF unresistlng liners
apply to the conduct of the new sub.
marine campaign. Germany has I'M

how to run these homes efficiently" :"
In one city where Miss Hanko lee
tured during the first season in the
Better Foods-Better Homes work,
there was large silk mill. One Of
the workers in this mil, temporarily
out of employment, attended N
Hanko's course or lectures, and be-
came much interested in the work.
Her views in regard to housework
we're changed entirely and by the end
OF the week she decided to give up
her work in the silk mill and try for
a position in a home. She secured
one at $500 per week, and, as this
included her board and lodging, II
was clear gain and therefore more
than she could earn at the silk mill.
When Miss Hanko made her second
visit to that city, this young woman
again attended her lectures and told
OF her changeof heart and her change
of work. She now believes that
housework is a dignifed profession
and one OF the best a woman can en-
gage in and she has held her first po-
sition most creditably and happily.
Miss Hanko finds that many business
girls do their own housekeeping afte'
attending her lectures and that they
like it better than boarding and have

.A('F
Is Selected for Joe Jimmy, Who
Didn'tsKnoW Where He
Was Going.

A destination has been selected
for the foreigner who was arrested q
recent night at the local railroad sta
ton for importing whiskey unlawful
ly and who put up the alias OF Joe
Jimmy.
When taken into custody Joe said
he didn't know where he was going
but was on his way. In view of that
circumstance, Magistrate G. L. Wat
klns, Of Shinnston, sitting for Mag
istrate William E. Starcher, who Is
Ill, late Wednesday decided that the
county jail would be as good a place
as any for Jimmy during the next
sixty days, and perhaps longer in the
event a fne OF 500 and costs is not
settled. A means Of diversion has
been provided,for Joe In the prlvi-
lege OF working on the county roads
at such times during that period as
the weather will permit.
Joe ran into the meshes OF the
Yost prohibition law by neglecting to
paste labels on the ouside Of a
satchel IN which he was Juggling
som ething like twenty-six pints OF
whiskey. This liaour has been con-
fscated by tho county.

better foods. Wherever she holds a
Better Foods-Better Homes school, 1t
proves a social success. The girls of
high school domestic science classes
are always enthusiastic about her and
her good "eats.' Miss Hanko spoke
to the high school girls in Fall River,
Mass, on What q Domestic Science
Training Should Mean toa Girl" and
at the close Of this talk the super
intendent ofthe school offered her, a
position In the high school because
Of her keen understanding OF the girl
problem.
In ordinary conversation, NiiFs
Hanko reveals the fact that she Is
deeply interested in allthe topics thai
interest girls Literature and art
and clothes--all claim her attention.
She is just as proficient In the art
OF trimming her own hats, making
her own clothes and in the art oi
decorating a house, as In the art of
decorating cakes. Thoroughly enjoy
ing her domestic science work, she is
meeting with wonderful success in in
teresting girls In domestic science.
The young women Of this city are
sure to be charmed with her, and sll
are invited to meet her on Mondaf
In the Masonic Auditorium.

SERVICE NOW
EXTENDED BY
THE COMPANY
Usefulness Of TeIegraphic
Money Transfer Service In
creased by Regulations.

During the last few years the West
ern Union Telegraph Company has
been in the van of public service cor
poratlons in putting out new services
to meet modern business and social
demands. The company now an
nounces another Innovation for the
benefit of its patrons.
The Western Union company an
nually transfers by telegraph an enor-
nous amount Of money and heretofore
the senders Of money have not been
permitted to include in the transfers
any communication Of a business or
personal character to the payee, such
information being required to be sent
by separate message. Under the new
arrangements. however. transfers be-
tween points in the United States
may include such Information and the
same will be delivered to the payee
at the time the transfer is paid. This
surely represents an up-to-date SER
vice and one that should appeal to
and bc Of much value to business
houses and the public generally.
Through it, people will be- enabled to
transmit money quickly with proper
instructions to meet banking obliga-
tions, pay insurance policies, guaran-
tee purchases, accompany bids, pur-
chase railroad, steamship and theater
tickets, pay taxes. assessments and
bills Of all descriptions, make remit
tances to travelling statesmen and
pupils attendinE distant schools, etc.
There is practically no limit to the
purposes for which this service is
available.
The telegraph company is to be
commended upon the matter in
which It is broadening the scope and
purposes Of its various services in
order to meet better the needs OF
the public.
