on the various war fronts the other
afternoon at the home Of Mrs. Francis
Mcneil Bacon. 1875 East Thirty ninth :.

years before the war; because Mrs.
Stobart said. coming home from the ,
Transvaal she met an argument
against women in public life that she
could not answer--they could do MOTH
ing in defense of their country.

Her great work was done in Serbia,

and the work of the enemy in depopu-

the few who remained by sending them
to other countries. She quoted from a
Bulgarian paper of February Is, 1917,
which said: 1T is possible that there
may be "A Serbia remaining but there !.

Philadelphia, PA spirited denuri-
citation of the short skirts worn by
women was made by Bishop McCort al
all the masses in the Church of Our
Mother OF Sorrows.
A great deal of the evil OF tins times,
he said. is due to the manner In which

MACK TRUCK |S
 BRITISH CHOICE

The British government has just placed an order with the International Motor company for 150 Mack trucks. They are of seven and one-half tons capacity and will be used somewhere at the front"
 The following telegram to w. E. Fer guson, state distributor of the Mack and Saurer trucks and Oldsmobile pleasure cars explains how gratifying this order must be to the International Motor company and all their agents
 After most rigid inspection and careful tests, the British government has placed an initial order with US for 150 Mack seven and one-half ton chas- SIS. This purchase particularly signif- icant as other prominent firms from whom they have been purchasing and for whose trucks they have large sup ply of parts stood ready to increase their deliveries. These. chassis stand ard in every way and not for any freak purposes. Believe your prospects and customers should know of this pur- chase as in view of carrying entirely new line of spare parts in the field where they are already equipped with spare parts for other makes this deal is a very strong endorsement of our product ?
 This is pretty nice order for the first one, and it's convincing proof of how the Mack truck stands with the British government" said MT. Fergu- son. At the beginning of the war the International Motor company was not in shape to handle any war orders as it was difficult for them to keep up with the orders on hand in this coun- try. As result they did not go after

RAY JUN VICTOR
 IN DAMAGE SUIT

The case of J. Trinidad Vallejo and Maria Vallejo versus the Ray Consoli- dated Copper company which has oc- cupied the attention of the federal court for the past six days was con- cluded late yesterday afternoon and within an hour the jury brought in verdict for the defendant This case has attracted considerable attention on account of the peculiar circumstances which surrounded it and was bitterly contested on both sides
 The plaintiffs are parents of Mel guides Vallejo who was employed by the defendant corporation and sued for damages, alleging that their son was killed by an explosion of giant powder on July 3, 1916. The evidence brought out at the trial showed that the boy who was chute plaster in No. mine of the Ray company went to blast a hung up chute during the noon hour and has never been seen since. The plaintiffs alleged that he entered one of the drawing chutes on the 2090 level of the mine, set off a blast there and was killed by premature explosion
 No one was actually present when Vallejo was supposed to enter the chute. the other employees being at lunch. but when he did not appear in the usual place where all workmen ate their lunch, search was instituted, and the chute showing signs of being blast ed. 1t was assumed that he had entered it and had been killed.
 The defendant company immediately drew from the chute many tons of ore, and eXcavated in and about the place where he was supposed to have been killed but no signs or indications of a human body were discovered, although the work of searching for the body was continued for several months.
 The case was tried by Charles B. Ward, F. B. Townsend and A. H. Stock ton for the plaintiffs, and H. NJ. Fenne- more of the firm of Chalmers, Kent & Stahl for the defendant
