WAN I NEUTRAL NAVAL RED
 CROSS

LONDON, July 2S. - That warships with physicians and nurses aboard should be held in readiness at ports Of the North sea to guard against 8 repetition of the large and unneces sary loss of sailors by drowning dur ing such naval battle as that of Jutland is the suggestion of the Nor wegian newspaper Morgenblat.
 The newspaper points out that phy sicians examining several of the Ger man and British sailors washed ashore after the battle, declared that the men could have been saved had they been picked up twenty-four hours earlier.
 The proposal is made that the Scan dinavian government should open ne gotiations with both the British and German governments looking to the adoption of such measures as pro posed for the saving of life after flu ture engagements. The paper sug gests that warships for rescue pur poses be held in readiness at Christ ianssand, Gothenburg and Frederik shaven.

MOVIE THEATRES TO BE SHOWN
 SALOONS

LONDON, July 2S. - Movie" the aters in saloons are one of the inno- vations made by the government H. quor board in it's experiment in di- rect management of saloons in the south of Scotland and the north of England. where there are large mu- milton making areas. Heavy drink ing has necessitated the step. By re- modelling and rebuilding these sa- looms the government hopes to in- crease the comfort of the workers.
 The picture palaces under the same roof as the saloons are so ar ranged that the men who formerly frequented the saloons in search of amusement, will be able to take their wives and whether they desire to have drinks or not matters little. The man who does not approve of saloons can find part set aside for the con sumption of tea, coffee and other soft drinks. The theater will also be used for concerts and lectures.
 The experiment is being watched critically. not by the liquor trade but by temperance reformers and prohi- bitionists In Edinburgh. for instance, it has been noticed that the saloons in the experimental area had doubled their receipts since private control and management had been displaced by the government board, and the To- cal religious leaders are contending that the more model and club-liks drinking shop is made the more drink it will sell. Another criticism made by the reform element is that as the new model houses are understood to be exemplary they are not under the same strict police supervision as the ordinary saloons.

SHORTAGE OF BOTTLES
 CREATES NEW INDUSTRY.

PARIS, July 28. - Fine French per fumes are now being sold in ordin- ary druggists vials. corked, instead of in artistic flagons with glass stop pers. The crisis Is due to mobiliza- ton of glass workers in the north of France, and one of it's revelations is that the art flagon has been represent ing considerable part of the cost of perfumes. But among fastidious women the perfumes do not smell so sweet when prosaically presented. and the result is a new industry-that of collecting old perfume bottles, into which the essences may be trans ferred.

WILSON'S APPEAL STRIKES A
 SNAC

WASHINGTON, July 28. - In an informal note to President Wilson, the Austrian government today signified its willingness to grant the presidents appeal for permission to ship relief sunplies to the Poles who are report ed as dying by thousands of starVa- tion.
 Great Britain also has signified her willingness to permit the shipment of supplies provided the Teutons will puarantee not to remove the Polish nroducts. This, it is feared, will block all negotiations, as the central pow CTS will not agree to not confiscate all the supplies possible for the sus tenance of their troops.
 Great Britain maintains that so long as inc Polish territory is in the hands of the Teutons, any relief supplies sent there would only mean the strengthening of Germany and Aus tria. as the products raised by the po,es would be seized, thus adding greatly to the relief of the German armies.

GIRLS ON BICYCLE
STRUCK BY A CAR
Dorothy Bell May Die of Injuries and
Florence Craig Is Also Sc
Serely Hurt
FORMER HITS TRUCK IN FALLING
Both Riding One Wheel, Bell Girl Be.
ing on HandIebars, and Fails TO
See Danger.

When a bicycle. upon the handle
bars of which she was riding, struck
an Elm street car at the corner OF Fiji
teenth street and Seventeenth avenue
at last evening, Dorothy Bell, 9-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Bell,
1926 Fifteenth street, received shock
ing injuries. serious to the extent that
they may cause her death. The two
wheeled vehicle was being propelled
by Florence Craig. She also suffered
minor injuries. The Bell girl received
a fracture OF her jaw bone, an opening
was torn through the throat extending
I'D into the mouth, and the skin on the
right side of her face was scraped
away She is also suffering from cuts
on different portions of her body and
il is feared that she is injured intern
ally. That the girl survived the acct
dent is little less than miracle.
The two girls. the one seated on the
bars of the bicycle, the other occupy
ing the seat and propelling the vehicle,
were riding south on Fifteenth street.
The street car approached them with
considerable speed. The Craig girl
failed to notice the approach of the
car till it was upon her. The motor
man discovered the plight Of the girls
only after it was too late to avoid the
collision The biclcle struck the side
of the car near the trucks. The Bell
girl received full force of the collision
and in falling struck her head upon
the truck.
Supped She Was Killed.
Thoes wO witnessed the accident
were Mortified, thinking that the girl
must surely fall beneath the wheels.
That she struck the truck is the ex-
PLANTATION offered as to why she did
not fall upon the tracks and suffer a
horrible death.
Unconscious, the child was picked
up and hurried to her fathers home.
DR. Perry Vessel was summoned. In
addition to setting the fractured jaw
bone, he took Is stitches in closing
cuts upon the child's throat and body.
The Craig girls injuries were to the
extent of a deep cash on her head and
cuts about the body. She was given
medical aid by Dr. J. H. Wood.
DR.. VESSEL is expecting the recov-
cry of Dorothy Bell.
