Children to Become
Rag Pickers---Latest Scheme

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Children will be the
rag pickers during the war.
This was the opinion evolved by Miss
Lillian Bell, founder of the children IS
Christmas ship idea, as means to re-
lieve conditions of children in Europe.
An organization of 10000 children thru
out the country will, be formed, Miss
Bell plans. They will pledge themselves
to save rags, bottles, rubbers, tin cans
and other waste.
An organization, comprising older
boys, will also be formed to act as
junk dealers. The plan is to have them
under state control with a state audit
Of the books.
"The rags, bottles and rubbish sold
by the children will go to save millions
Of dollars for the manufacturers in this
country alone" Miss Bell said today.
Money received by the children from
the sale of the rubbish will be equally
divided between the organization and
the individual. The association plans
to use the funds to purchase supplies
for a second Christmas ship to Europe.
The plan will be launched Monday
afternoon when Nine. Sarah Bernhardt
will address mass meeting of child
ren here.

After having his football candidates

poor. Practice will be continued, but
whether or not new schedule will be
carried out will not be decided for
awhile.
Fifteen men turned out for the first
night IS practice. OF these only one had
any football experience, this being
Halfbacll Dimick, who won his letter
last year. The rest of the squad are
green and light, only three or four
weighing more than $50 pounds.
Coach Mathews is endeavoring to in
terest every man in school in the grid
iron game, and if he succeeds in get
ting the majority of them out in q
suit fair team might be developed
by the latter part Of the season. Bra
zier Small, former letter man, is ex-
pected to return this week, and an ef-
fort is being made to get couple of
other men to return. If these efforts
arp successful the prospects will
brighten.
The men who were out for the first
night s practice are Dimick, Olson,
Barry, Sparks, Tasker, Michaels, II.

PREPARE TO RETALIATE.
lRY Lowell Mellott)

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
London, Oct. 5.-What will be in eff
feet a department of retaliation y is
England's answer today to the public
demand that the German sky devil be
fought with fire.
The war cabinet decided to carry
out an elaborate program of strict re-
taliation on German airmen' murder
raids over English cities. 1t will be prac-
tically an aerial offensive OF tremen-
dous proportions. General South, whoi
with Premier Lloyd George, is credited
with inventing the aerial barrage which
has proven partially successful in re-
pelling raiders on London, appeared
likely to be selected as the man in
charge of the new department, He will
operate independently Of the royal fly
ing corps Of the army or the royal naval
aero service, but will call on both those
branches for cooperation.
First fruit of this decision that Eng
land must return measure for measure
was seen today in orders for a speeding
up of aeroplane production.
Officials realize that if a strict eye
for eye policy of air raiding is carried
out and if a great aerial offensive is
to achieve its aim of sweeping casual
German bomb droppers from the sky, a
great number of aeroplanes kept on pat
rol and defense duty over England can
be sent to swell the fighting forces util-
lied by Field Marshal Haig.

A long fight ensued over establish
ment of a food controller but the presi-
dent had his way and on August 10
signed the food bill ana named Herbert
Hoover food administrator. AT the same
time he signed the food survey bill
providing means for taking an invoice
Of Americas food stocks.
There followed long list of enact
ments. The $2,535, 100000 revenue bill,
the $4,000, 100000 urgent deficiency bill,
the trading with the enemy measures,
the soldiers and sailors insurance bill
and other less important measures
were passed, including daylight saw
ing bill. Today, the people, ''big busi-
ness" and many neutrals are virtually
on "rations," as a result of this coun-
try IS determination to conserve rations.
Herbert Hoover has the people volun-
tarily eating less and saving more. Lead
ing business men are sacrificing their
time and in many cases huge profits,
to help in the war work. The president
said there shall be no "blood profits =
and as a result has fixed price on
wheat, coal, steel and copper and will
add other commodities later.
Embargo Is Strict.
The American embargo, working in
conjunction with the allies, is curtailing
to the minimum shipments of supplies
to neutrals who might feed Germany.
And out of this six months prepared
ness there is seen the first indication
of a gradually weakening Germany

Now, as a matter of fact, more wo-

the virtues of ordinary mercolized wax

has been found that the wax has won

off in minute, almost imperceptible par

no inconvenience at all. In this way
the old complexion is actually removed

lent size package, is applied like cold
cream and allowed to remain on over
