SEES LOST. HUSBAND
IN NEWSPAPER PHOTO.
Brings Ray Of Hope to Mrs. Lucy Fad
Ter, Polish Refugee.

Albany.-There was ray of hope in
this Yuletide for Mrs. Lucy A. Fad
Ter, q comedy Polish woman of thirty,
that she may find her husband in some
OF the armies or prison camps in Eu-
rope. He was taken from her more
than two years ago. and she has heard
no tidings of him since. The ray of
hope was brought about by the illus
trated supplement of Sunday news
paper. Mrs. Zadler's employer, know
ing her hatred Of the Germans ana
Austrians, tossed the supplement- to
her with the remark, "There are some
Austrians for you" AS her eyes fell
upon the picture she screamed and
nearly collapsed. Then she pointed to
a picture of some soldiers and ex-
claimed: "That's him! That's Joseph,
my husband!'
Her journey to this country from her
home in Lublic, Poland, she says, is
like dream and is still hazy in her
mind. When the war broke out her
husband, who had saved a little money,
decided to come to America and live in
peace. He purchased railroad tickets
to Rotterdam and steamer tickets to
New York. They had proceeded on
their way for some distance when at
railroad station, Mrs. Zadler says,
some soldiers took her husband in GUS
tody, telling her to proceed on her jour-
ney and that he would meet her at the
ship. Where the station was or it's
name she has not the slightest idea.
Neither could she say what was the
nationality of the soldiers who kidnap-
ed her husband.

SLANG IS NECESSARY,

Chicago.-Slang, if it is of the high

And this despite the announcement
that the women of Vassar have put
the "kibosh" on it in all it's variations.

the Chicago goods, who declare they

s. Clothes.
Norristown, Pa.-Quitting her posi-
ton as stenographer to go to the wash
tub, Miss Georgianna Cuthbert is max
Ing $68 a week, and she handles only
five washes to do it, according to her
testimony in the equity action in which
she is defendant and Mrs. Marie LUIS
son, her neighbor, plaintiff.
Miss Cuthbert informed Judge Swartz
that one family alone paid her $50, an
other SIP, two SO and fifth 50 week.
She gets the business, she says, be-.
cause she does not use bleach or acids
in cleansing them.
"None of the clothing l handle is
soiled, only mussed," she said.
Mrs. Marie Lusson seeks to prevent
Miss Cuthbert erecting laundry in
the fear4-of her lot in Ardmore, Pa.
Mrs. Lusson says that laundry there
would be undesirable, unhealthy and
in violation Of building restrictions.
In the testimony experts said laun-
dry would be unobjecti0nable; that
there would be no dirt, no noise, no
smell and, in fact, no reason why this
woman should not be permitted to pro-
coed with the laundry.

Findlay, O. = Philosophers for CEN
turtles have attempted to analyze the
conscience Of the human race and what
prompts it, but have been unsuccessful.
That such a thing does really exist,
Charles F. Smith, general manager of
the Toledo, Bowling Green and South
ern railway, can now testify. -
Recently he was sitting in his Office
when two men walked in and each
threw fifty cent piece on his desk, ex-
planning that twenty years ago they
had ridden from the north side to the
Tangent depot without paying fare.
That was because they were compelled
to stand most Of the way. During all
this time their consciences, they said,
had troubled them and they got no rest
until they had returned the money
with interest. -.
Mr.. Smith refused to take the money,
but DR.. J. P. Baker, head of the As
ISOLATED charities, who happened in
Smiths Office at the time, con6scated
the money for that purpose. ~

the Carrel treatment. AS result of
an appeal by American admirers of
DR.. Carrel to NJ. Franklin Bouillon, the
latter persuaded the government, in
the person of NJ. Painleve, to study at
first hand the use of the Dakin fluid.
The correspondent was present when
the minister of public instruction, who
was the first member Of the cabinet to
take such a step, visited the Button
hospital, close by the Pasteur institute,
to see for himself the miracles worked
by DR.. Shutro with the treatment de-
veloped by DR.. Carrel. DR.. Shutro is
perhaps the ablest Of DR.. CarreIs few
disciples in France. H,-
NJ. Painleve was astOnished at the
simplicity of the system, which is mere
ly the washing Of the wounds with
k}eaching lime diluted in water, with
percentage Of soda added to neutralize
the caustic effect of the lime. At the
foot of each bedstead in the Button
hospital is strapped wooden post, to
which bottle containing the fluid, pink
in color, is attached. From the bottle
a thin rubber tube carries the solution
to four small glass tubes. from which
the wound is flushed every two hours.
Tins the dressings are kept moist and
the wound is freed from infection.

new TYPE OF NINE
TO PROTECT COASTS
Artillery Perfects an Improved
Device Which Rises and
Falls With the Tide. 80. :

New York.-A new type of subma-
rine mine which has recently been per-
fected by the coast artillery branch of
the United States army and which will
be issued to forts guarding American
harbors as soon as possible was de-
scribed by officers who have been fol-
lowing tests of the mine. All are en-
thusiastic over the possibilities which
the new weapon affords Of simplifying
and making more effective the nations
coast defenses.
While the mechanism of the mine is
a secret, it Is known that it's effective
ness lies In the fact that the depth of
the tide and the strength of the cur
rent in harbor may be entirely dis
regarded when the mine is planted.
An automatic device inside the mine
itself can be set for any desired sub
mergence, which will keep the mine ut
that place usually eight feet below the
surface) no matter how the tide may
rise and fall and in spite Of any drag
by the current. - -
This type Of mine can be planted in
a harb0r and then left alone on the
bottom, controlled by the operator at
the mine field switchboard in the fort
To this switchboard every individual
mine in the field is connected by ca
BILE. From his post the operator can
send the mine on moments notice to
it's war position just below the sur
face. He can tell how far up it has
gone by small signal device in the
casemate, a gong, which sounds a
ringing note for every foot upward
the hidden destroyer travels.

West Virginia and Ohio Couples Dis
cover Weddings Were illegal.
Wheeling, w. Va.-Hundreds Of mar
ried couples in this city and in cities
across the river in Ohio were shocked
by a report that federal agents are in
vestigating marriages by Ohio minis
tiers of couples having licenses issued
here and in other West Virginia cities.
The marriages Of many couples who
were wed in this manner have been de-
clared illegal A number Of ministers
in Ohio cities have secured licenses in
county courts in this state to perform
the marriage ceremony, and while this
license permits them to marry couples
having West Virginia licenses in this
state, it does not permit them to marry
holders Of West Virginia licenses In
Ohio.
The frequency Of these marriages
caused an investigation. Scores Of cou-
pies thus married are planning, to be
remarked.
