THREE THOUSAND WOMEN
IN BIFURCATED GARMENTS
To Work in the Fields, Orchards and
Factories of the Yakima Valley

A Yakima dispatch in the daily press
of Wednesday is to the effect that 8.
900 -trousered, patriotic female
women are to take the places of the
war and I. W. W. depleted ranks OF
the lords of creation, The story is
based on the sale Of over twelve
hundred coveralls" in the valley.
The patriotic women Of Timbuctoo,
expressed a patriotic willingness, in
the interest OF the economy Of cloth to
make their dresses shorter at the neither
end, but since it is a dictate OF fashion
that the lower end of the dress and
upper end of the shoes must meet
somewhere, it is doubtful if shorter
dresses will become very popular.
Shoe leather is even scarcer and more
expensive than cloth.
The patriotic ladies Of Coney Island,
says an eastern grapevine dispatch, go
the Timbuctoo woman one better.
They offer, if it will help win the war.
not TO wear any dresses at all, during
warm weather.

MUTILATED BELGIAN CHILDREN
Nine CAR LOADS COMING WEST
In Charge of Red Cross NurseS-Gih's
and Boys Hands and Fingers Cut
Off and Boys Unsexed
by Germans

DR.. r. J. Skaife, OF Palouse, Wash,
was in Pocatello, Idaho, last week
when a train OF nine cars, loaded with
Belgian girls and boys, in charge Of
Red Cross nurses, stopped at Pocatello.
The Doctor gave the following account
of what he saw and heard to reporter
of the The Palouser;
A number Of railroad men we're al
lowed to 60 through the cars and were
entirely unnerved by what they saw,
weeping like children as they came
from the cars.
The children were victims Of Ger
many's revengeful feeling toward
Belgium and her determination to ex-
terminate the nation, root and branch.
Both girls and boys had their hands
mutilated. In some cases cut off.
The boys being unified by the
mutilation from ever performing mill
tary service. The girls hands were
destroyed so that they could not be put
into the work OF munition making ol
other war time activities. The boys
had been unsexed. Three Red Cross
nurses were in charge Of each car load

They are the most pititul Of all the
fotsam and jetsam which the wal
waves have cast upon American shores

Don't Look Out

spector OF weights and measures, also
looking after reckless and careless auto
law yiolaters, was here a couple of days
this week. He says it costs SIS to
violate the speed law and he makes it
his special duty 70 look after this class
of violaters. They are responsible for
nine-tenths OF the accidents. Be-
tween Wednesday morning and Thurs
day morning he picked up the follow
ing between Cashmere and Leaven-
worth, all OF whom slept up to the
captains desk and paid fines:
L. E. McMasters. Seattle. Not dis
playing proper license.
a. ]. Crull, Okanogan. Not display
ing tail light.
J. F. Sugru, Cashmere. Only one
license plate; only one head light and
no tail light.

John Leuer, Cashmere. Not display
ing proper license plate.
John Mallock, Cashmere. Deputy
Sheriff. No license plate.

public Of everybody obeying the law.
They departed poorer but wiser.
