Judge Oppenheimer is a member OF
the Big Brother society at Cincinnati,
and advocates the forming of Big
Brother and Big Sister societies, to
take personal interest In delinquent
children.
Take Care Of 500
About 500 children are taken care OF

Oppenheimer.
In 1900 cases which have been TAX
en- care of in that city In the last
three years. eighty-six percent have

have so far turned out bod.
In the children's court proper the
percentage of failures would be high
or, he said, as there the children are
in many cases predetermined.
Oppenheimer said the principles he
advocated he believed would apply not
only to bad" children, but to all chill

SENATOR WOULD
SAVE TREASURES

PARIS, Aug. Ex-senator Guillaume
Chastenet has introduced a bill into
the senate which, if it becomes law,
will have a certain interest for Amer
lean art collectors. The object of the
bill is to protect Frances historic
and artistic treasures, which the Sen
ator thinks will be in greater danger
than ever after the war.
An article in the bill proposes a pro-
gressive export tax on all works of art
leaving the country. The senator sug-
gests 10 percent tax on the first ST.
0G0, Is percent on the second, and 20
percent on the third. The value of the
work of art is to be established by a
declaration of the exporter, as check
ed by the expectation bureaus, a CON-
mittee of experts to decide when there
is a disagreement.
The other provisions of the bill are
drawn up on the lines of Italian legis-
lation for the preservation of artistic
treasures and aimed at preventing ex-
portation.

FEW DESERTERS
ACCEPTED OFFER

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug. n
-(Correspondence of The Associated
Press. THE period Of grace for Ger
man deserters has just expired. AL
such who had fled to Holland and 9th
err neutral countries, and who return
ed during the stipulated period, were
by proclamation assured of clemency
Instead of the extreme penalty pre-
scribed by the severe Germany mill
tary code, they were promised a
chance to wipe out their offense by
service at the front. All who had not
returned by July Is forfeit their Ger
man citizenship, and. according to the
Army order, may never return to their
fatherland or hope for pardon.
There is no evidence that any sub
stantial number of the many hundreds,
probably thousands Of deserters in Hol.
land returned to martial life. On the
other hand, the latest news from the
frontier says the continued stream OF
deserters and escaped prisoners-of-
war in the reverse direction has led
to the reinforcement of the German
sntries. At night sentry is now post
ed almost every hundred yards along
the border.
Clemency was not extended to men
guilty of deserving to the enemy In
the period of grace just closed. The
latest measure testifies to the strenu-
CHS endeavors being made by Germay
to round up every available man to
fill the gaps in the far-stretching line
of gun. rifle and bayonet in East and
West

WOMAN TEACHES
BASKET-MAKINC

Miss Mary Reynolds, basket and
millinery expert of Chicago, who will
teach Richmond women basket-weav-
ing and making of artificial flowers
during the week, is a crusader against
the high cost of living.
Baskets bought on market cost
women three times as much as they
can be made for at home" says Miss
Reynolds. 1.-THE average cost Of max
ing basket at home is ninety cents,
while the same basket will cost So at
a shop. Cost of making ribbon flow
ers is just the cost Of the ribbon
The most remarkable feature OF
both arts, says Miss Reynolds, is the
ease with which basket-making can
be learned. There will be many fin
ished baskets by Thursday night, &C
cording to her.
Miss Reynolds gave her first lesson
Monday morning, half of the time be-
ing devoted to baskets and the other
to the artificial flowers. She will give
lessons at ten every morning during
the week, and on Thursday will lee
ture directly on the high cost of living
and ways of cutting it down.

Orange Moon Shines
On Fraternity Boys

A big orange colored moon gives
light for the Omicron Pi Sigma tent
out on the Chautauqua grounds
That's perhaps the most elaborate
lighting arrangement in camp, but
many Of the campers are not satisfied
with the mere electric light.
Dozens and dozens of them have had
the wires led down to their tables and
have covered the bulbs with ordinary
small reading shades. There's six
foot piano lamp in one tent.
Other ingenious souls have made
shades from pieces of silk tied around
the lamp, from ordinations of crepe
paper and basket shades, one from a
piece of red paper tied In what Huckle-
berry Finn of the Breeze called circus
dancer fashion, and from big Japanese
lanters of bright coloIs.
What's the use of camping unless
you can have the comforts of home?

THE "RECITATION"

like to see the trombone player swal
Ter all that brass;
And hear the comets Wicker like a
colt turned out to grass;
It's nice to hear the fiddles and the
beatin' of the drums;
But the good old Rotations where
the entertainment comes!
In" Mandalay," the fiddles play;
But niger and a trigger and
'his eyes were growing bigger
Always brings you out the laugh
ing way!
A lecturers an Aleck, with his little
bunch of tricks;
Or else so solemn-serious that nothin'
he says sticks,
With his "birth-rate" and his death
rate" and his "savin' of the nation,
But for solid entertainment give me
the good old recitation!
There's Gunga Din, and Moo Cow
Moo;
They're always old, and always
new;
And Finnegan, and Flanagan,
with ''off again and on again.
And all the whole endurin' crew."

the street at Exhibition park.
There were 5000 people in the
Chautauqua grounds, said officials.

CUbANS TO Give
AIRPLANE UNIT

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 27-Colonel
Manuel Coronado. member of the Gu
ban Senate and editor of the newspa-
per La Discussion, has added a new
phase to Cuba's alliance with the
United States in the war against Ger
many by organizing an aviation unit,
which it is announced, will be offered
to France, with complete equipment,
In the near future. Though other
means of cooperation have assumed
shape here since Cuba's declaration of
war against Germany on April s, last,
it is believed probable, from the en-
thusiasm shown by it's members, that
the "Escadrille Cubaine." as the fly
ing unit will be called, will be the first
body of fighting men from Cuba to
serve on French soil
Colonel Coronado's plans called for
body of twenty-five trained aviators
to comprise the escadrlle, but already
thirty-three youths, who are represen-
tatives of the best families of Cuba,
have volunteered to take the pre-
scribed aviation course and individual
ly to bear the expense of their air
planes and equipment. Many of the
volunteers for the escadrille are grad
yates Of French universities, and all
speak French and are aviation en-
thusiasts. Senator Coronado has just
returned from New York, where he
conferred with officials of the Aero
Club of America and airplane manu-
facturers over the details of the esca-
drille's organization.

the most practical and at the same
time the most appropriate way of
