SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-
Mrs. Annette Abbott Adams, as
sistant United States district at
torney, has achieved unusual dis
tinction by the briliancy of her
work for the government in the
trial of anti-neutrality charges
against German Consul General
Franz Bopp and associates here.
She Is the only woman in the
country holding such a position.
She was entrusted with the
important duty of making the
opening argument for the prose
cution in the closing hours of the
famous hearing.
The effective manner In which
she performed the task won her
the hearty compliments of her
brothers in the legal profession.
The spectacle of woman ask
ing the conviction of titled men
was one of the outstanding fea-
lures of the trial.

steam? And are there two
kinds of steam, wet and dry?
A YOUNG GIRL.
A person of from 10 to 10
years old should never get less
than 8 hours sleep. Ten hours
would not be too much.
What we can see Is not "livc"
steam, but steam condensed into
little drops of water. There are
two kinds of steam, "wct" and
''dry." The one, as its name in
dicates, is saturated with mois-
ture: the other is dried, usually by
passing 1t over hot surfaces, and
behave more like a true gas.
Q.-I have a pair of tan
shoes. Split some kerosene
on them. Have tried several
remedies to clean them, but
have failed. Would you
please advise me how to clean
them? Thanking you for an
early answer.

BATTERED VETERANS RETURN
One Volunteer Describes Havoc
Wrought by Shell Dropped Among
stretcher Bearers.-Two Ht
While Helping Wounded.

New York.-Some of the American
college bows who went over to France
last Nav as ambulance drivers for the
excitement of the work behind the nr-
ing lines are returning home because
fine ambulance work has been taken
over by the United States army ana
will be done by regular enlisted men,
The following is an extract from let
ter written by Williams BOY TWO
weeks ago, who went over with his col
lege INIT to drive an ambulance at the
front:
The last six weeks we have been
serving in the Verdun sector with opr
base at Blercourt, which Is eight miles
from the town of Verdun. There are
two front posts for the ambulances-
Mort Homme hill and Hill 3O4. which
have figured in the news OF the new
battle of Verdun. For two weeks the
French were preparing for the attack
and the roads were only passaDle at
night. The communication trenches
we're awful to get through, and We're
made worse by the heavy rains. one
night last week two of the boys got
lost in the darkness and could not ind
their way with their ambulance to the
post. Finally they sighted two dark
objects, which resembled French SOL
diers walking along with their big
overcoats on. After jabbering their
peculiar brand of French for 10 min
utes without receiving any reply the
lost ambulance drivers discovered that
the dark moving objects were two
American army mules, unable to
sneak or understand word of French.
Hit While Helping Wounded.
"Two of our chaps were badly
wounded at one of the first-aid stations
while helping to load wounded men
into the ambulance. One was blown
right through the door of the shelter
hut and was discovered lying uncon,
scious beside three dead French sol
diers. The boys who got them out had

"Ah," sighed the convalescent sol
der at a base hospital, what wouldn't

ambulance driver
''Frae Aberdeen"
Aberdeen, Ell? I came down from

A little later there was a noise of
throbbing engines, and a powerful mo-
tor car drew up before the veranda
where the soldiers were sitting.
Now, them said the obliging driv-
