Wreck Narrowly Averted

What might have proved a serious
wreck was narrowly averted on the
Northern Pacific branch Saturday
evening. The west bound freight
was at Starbuck hurrying to get to
New Prairie ahead of the passenger.
Incidentally the station agent men
toned that the freight crew had re-
ported heavy jerk to the train as
it left New Prairie going east in the
morning. The freight crew were
therefore on the lookout and at New
Prairie found one rail turned up for
about three feet from the end, and
stopped the train just before strik-
ing it. Except for the warning the
train would probably have struck
the defective rail and piled up.

AS to the patriotic side of the prop
osition. Mrs. Pearson carefully ex-
planned that the prerequisite for ad-
mittance to the American League of
Pen Women, is the fact that the can
didate has received compensation for
something she has either drawn, writ
ten or composed.
"Of course. that being the purpose
of our organization we would expect

When asked IL the pen women" I'M
derstood that there is much that is
technical in newspaper work and that
newspaper man is evolved rather
than made to order, Mrs. Pearson was
thoroughly unsympathetic with the
young reporters point Of view.

you talk about copy reading and tele-
graph editing" she said. but I'm
sure we could do it."
What They Aim to DO.
The League of Pen Women is regis
tering TO do reporting. editorial writ

ing. feature writing, cartoon drawing,
advertisement writing, dramatic art
and music criticisms, book reviewins,
proof reading, short story writing,
play and scenario writing, in short
everything which may touch prox-
imately or remotely the field of the
newspaper or magazine.
We would like especially to be
publicity experts for some of the
large concerns" said Mrs. Pearson.
There is no doubt that We will
be needed. We are going in for other
things too. For instance, we intend to
do everything such as 'god-mother
work for soldiers, food conservation
work and home economy"
Mrs. Pearson said that she herself
had no idea of doing anything, but
that it was enough if she organized
the rest.

Dress reform in the navy and in the

appearance OF the troops as well. and
attention IL called to the fact that in

ing q shoulder sling for the support of
his sword belt. The present regula-
tons make no provision. with the re-
suit that unless the belt Is worn very
tight, it is apt TO sag under the weight
Of the sword. The effect Is slovenly
and unsoldierly. The British long ago
adopted the shoulder sling for officers.

pearance sake.
There is one piece Of uniform worn
by American soldiers that many Brit
ish officers maintain cannot be ex-
celled. This is the felt hat. which the
British refer TO as the "wideawake.' -
The American army felt hat Is serv-
icable in all weather-hot or cold. 1t
not only protects the head, but even
can do duty to carry water. Many a
soldier has folded his SLOUGH hat in
the shape OF a pillow. placed 1t over
his shoes and obtained a comfortable
head rest as a preliminary for sound
sleep. Such uses are not possible with

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR.

There is real common sense in Just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to Judge of a woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the
few who try to make the most of
your hair, remember that it is not
advisable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good preparation
made expressly for shampooing. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top Of the head. Dandrufr,
excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that it will look much heavier
than 1t is. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the, health which insures
hair e{pwth. ADV,

HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, July "A, 1917.

After the early hours this should
be an extraordinarily lucky day. The
Sun, Saturn and Neptune are in
benefic aspect, while Mars is strongly
adverse.
In the morning Mars rules with sin
lister power, presaging activities on
the part of soldiers and discomfort
among civilians who are of army age.
Under this sway quarrels and riots
are supposed to be encouraged. 1t is
a time when men are inclined to be
overbearing and aggressive.
The afternoon is a time to seek the
Influence of men IN places of power.
Political aspirants should take ad-
vantage of this government Of the
stars.
Criticism Of public men and public
policies is believed to be fostered
while this configuration prevails and
1t may even inspire reasonable acts
and utterances.
Again there is a good sign for agri-
culture and certain crops at first dis
appointing will bring large profits, it
Is predicted.
The death Of a financier again is
prophesied, but his passing will pro-
duce but a brief anxiety in the world
he has helped to rule.
This should be rather favorable rule
for sea voyages, for beginning jour
neys and for naval operations.
As next month is to be a time for
new national problems, more harass-
ing than any that have marked the
beginning of the war, the seers coun-
sci abstinence from criticism and 10y
atty in thought as well as word.
The stars may bring to the people
of the United States unexpected OPP
portunities to make world history,
owing to sudden changes in European
conditions. The planets seem to
presage what is sensational and I'M
expected.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
avoid quarreling and litigation. They
have the augury of a prosperous year.
Children born on this day will prob
ably be exceedingly quick and active.
These subjects of Leo usually are
successful.

A battalion of newspaper men for
the trenches!
That is the hope of the League of
American Pen Women which is en-
gagged in making a census of the
members with a view to register
ing them to take the place of men
on newspapers.
This Is termed by tn league a
patriotic service"-but whether
the scribes will see it as such is
another matter.
At all events the women are reg
istering to do all manner OF work
proXimately or remotely connected

or magazine field.
And we're perfectly competent
to do it, too" said Mrs. Margaret

"Of course we don't know 1t all
yet" she said. but we won't be

The volunteering" OF the pen
women Is of a new variety.
According to Mrs. Pearson. it
must be a patriotic" service with
pay" and there's no reason why the
scribes shouldn't step right out now.

WOMEN TOO AMBITIOUS

Excessive ambition leads all sorts OF
women to exert themselves beyond
their strength. The girl striving for
honors in school. the busy housewife,
the shop-girl, the society climber or
leader, all overtax their natural
powers Of endurance. Then come
nervous troubles, backaches, head
aches, frequently organic troubles,
which reduce them almost to despair
Women suffering thus should first
recognize the necessity OF putting on
the brakes and slowing down. Besides
this to remedy the mischief already
done to their health, the best
reliance IL upon that famous and
standard medicine for women
