We'll! MT. Frank Willis Bar nett, you were to write about "Men, Women and Things. 7 We've read about the men every day, and some Things just had to be mentioned along with the men because-well, just because men and things go together.
 Now, how about the women? Are you saving the best until the last, or are you writing about men first to please the men7
 How is the above for a gentle roast2 By way of confession and avoidance, man like, I'll say I was so busy planning surprise for my women readers that I was using up my gray matter on .'Things;' mere man got into my copy as a blind.
 My correspondent went on to speak of some male vanities, peculiarities and weaknesses. I confess to them all. But here is a tip to all women: The quickest way to a mans heart is through his stomach. Feed the animal well, and then you can work him.
 Knowing this I have been wanting to do something for the peace and happiness of Bir- mingham's housekeepers. I have always believed morn ing paper should do more for it's women readers and make it easier for them to fill their Sunday larders.
 At last I hit upon the idea of publishing in every Saturday mornings paper a department called Market Tips" showing what to eat and where to get it. I advised with some housekeep- CTS who take and read The
 
 Age-Herald, and they urged me to do it.
 Look over this mornings of ferings, check off your list, get on the car, or in your car, and go down and do your own pick ing. This is the way not only to save, but to get the best the market affords. Get the habit of waiting for and looking over The Age-Herald's Saturday "Market Tips.'
 Yes, I want the housewives to read this page, but for fear my Marion friend will get after me for writing about her sex in my Sa turday "Market Tips" this is to let her know that from time to time I will brighten "Men, Women and Things" by writing about the lovely sex who are making the world a brighter and better and more comfortable place for man.

Trolleys Figure In
More Accidents Than
Jitneys, Say Police

The jitney regulations which have
been more enforced since Jan. l. have
resulted in statistics for the month
of June which show that they are re-
sponsible for less accidents than the
trolley cars and that the drivers are
far more careful than those of the
private and trucking automobiles.
During June there were ESQ acct
dents, as against 223 in May, 1916 in
April, 1913 in March and 106 in Febru
airy. In these accidents the jitney only
figured 26 times while the trolley car
was named SO times Other vehicles
were responsible for 1913 accidents.
During the month four persons were
killed in traffic accidents and three
dogs lost their lives. Record of per-
sons injured runs to the number of
IS.
In the matter of deaths the month
of June with four is higher by 100
per. cent. than May, higher than April
in which three persons lost their lives
but much lower than February when
five persons died.

AMERICAN STYLES
INFLUENCE FRENCH

London, July ia correspondent
in Paris calls attention to the pre-
ponderating american note in
French fashions this year. He writes:
There is an American accent about
all the new French clothes. It Is
difficult to define, but it Is there, and
it's price is high. Some of the dress
makers when they went on strike
carried the Stars and Stripes, and
when asked why. as they were agitat-
ing mainly for the English Week
end they should carry the American
flag, replied. oh. it is the prettiest.'
Tie same logic is applied to clothes.
American women have always dress
ed well, and do not mind the cost,
so it is to the Paris dressmakers'
advantage to make clothes for them.
Hats show strong American
note. The soft felt hat turned up on
one Side is worn with a touch Of cow
boy swager. The light muslin dress
is also an American fashion. Shoes
and trimmings show similar inspira-
ton. In fact to be dressed a la
Americana is very much the thing"

BREAD CARD Is
1000 YEARS OLD

Alkmaar, Netherlands. July 1e-
The bread card, that familiar Euro
pean product Of the present great
clash OF nations, is nearly 1000 years
old. That is the discovery Of a Dutch
professor, Dr. NJ Mother, who asserts
that lit was in use in Rome under the
Emperor Augustus. in whose reign
Christ was born. !.
Moreover, not only did Romans
have their bread cards and their
government grain, a term that has
become so familiar in Holland, but
government intervention In ancient
Rome evoked as much discomfort and
friction between public and bread
purveyors as has been the case in
these modern days.

GERMAN CAPTIvES.
CRUELTY TREATED.
MIssIvEs ASSERT.
Letters from British Prison
ers Assert One Private
and 15 Mates Killed

Copies. Of London newspapers re-
Gently received contain letters from
British prisoners Of war in Germany,
showing how the Germans executed
reprisals based upon allegations that
their enemies were working German
prisoners In The war zone on tho west
ern front. On June IT an official
communication issued in Berlin said
that both sides had finally removed
the prisoners to q. distance Of at least
thirty kiIometers back Of the front.
One Of the letters printed In the Lon
don papers was written by Private
Barlow of the First West Yorkshire
Regiment and reads as follows:
IT told you in my last letter that
we were going to be removed, and so
we have, to a worse place than we
have ever been in. We have been
moved right up behind the firing line.
and where we go to work Is right in
the fire zone, where the shells are
dropping, and it is ferry dangerous.
The work we do is digging trenches
and telling trees; also carrying them,
which is very hard. -,
I'VE live in tent. which is part
ly heated but it Is very cold. When
we wake up in the morning our boots
are frozen. The reason why we have
been sent here is that they say our
government has German prisoners do
ing similar work. and that they have
sent them behind the firing line, and
the sooner they move their men to
a better place the sooner we shall be
removed. 49, i
SO will you please show this letter
to somebody of higher rank in order
that something can be done, because
IL this goes on much longer the sooner
a bullet or, she'll puts. us out of our
troubles. the better; so please try and
do your best for me and my mates, OF
which there are 500 of us; all of
which are the lads who came out
Force, and since we have been prison
ers we have had to go through it. no.
body knows but ourselves.
I'VE are behind the Russian and
German firing lines. and If you have
any idea what Russian winter Is
like you will know how things are
with us. 1t Is about a fortnight since
we came here. and that is a fortnight
too long. God help us II we have to
stop here much longer. (Serssnc@
here crossed out by censor) -account
of frost bites, SO you will see how
keen 1t is.
The hours we work are very long.
but the worst of it is we are not all
lowed to smoke, and that Is awful. SO
please try and do, your best, because
we can't stick this much longer. as
we are all getting weaker every day.
