quickly as these are received the bu-
reau will respond promptly by. dis

titled to government aid"
1t was explained at the bureau that
much OF the blame lies with the com
manders OF the companies, only small
T ne cent OF whom have thus far sent to
Washington the applications of their
men. Instances were cited where d.
VISION offices waited until the entire
10000 soldiers in their commands were
canvassed to ascertain the dependents
and the amounts to be deducted from
their pay before the lists were sent to
the department. 1t was also admitted
that no applications have been received
from the American troops abroad, OK

bow Division. who filed out the blanks
before embarlsing for France
War Risk Bureau officials declared
that branches had been opened with
the troops in France and that applca-
tions for allotments from all men over
seas were expected daily. Likewise,
instructions have gone forward to al'
division commanders to expedite the
Cling of blanks Of their commands so
The relatives of soldiers may not have
to wait longer for government assist
ance.
Thousands Of letters have been re-
ccived by the Quartermaster Corps
and the War Risk Insurance Bureau
during the past month from depend
ents asking for their allotments Ell
forts have been made to respond to
each individual request, but in 80 per
cont of the cases it was found that the
soldier himself failed to furnish the
terartmcnt with the number of de-
pendents, their addresses and their re-
ationship, all essential points before
any government aid can be extended
Secretary Of War Baker also has re-
ceived letters urging greater prompt
TESS in forwarding allotment checks.
He said to-day he referred all requests
to the army paymaster and the War
RISK Bureau with the request for
speedy action.

Criminals Hide
In Our Uniforms,
Swami Declares

District Attorney Swami wrote yes
terday to Attorney General Gregory
that he is convinced that many GRIM
'nals in New York are wearing army
uniforms in order to facilitate the
commission Of crime. He also informed
the Attorney General that he has OBJ
tanned evidence that certain manu-
facturers of uniforms are placing uni
forms by irregular methods into the
hands of pushcart ucdiers and second
hand dealers, enabling them to retail
uniforms as low as $14 apiece.
Evidence against manufacturers was
submitted to the District Attorney by
the depot quartermastcr in this city.
Incidentally it was learned that as
result of the Congressional investiga-
ton into army equipment, the War De-
partment has Communicated large
quantities Of the better quality OF
army uniforms in New York. 1t was
reported that 10000 of certain sizes
had been seized. The value Of these
uniforms it is said will exceed $780,
900.
Representatives of the depot quar-
termaster brought several specimens
Of uniforms to the District Attorneys
office. They were seized at the stores
Oh d. ). Reynolds, l4S west lhlrty-
fourth Street, and A. T. Thompson, 210
West Forty-second Street. Two Of
these bore the label of B. B. Goldberg,
a manufacturer ut Broadway and
Tenth Street, and were said to be re-
jected Goldberg was questioned by
the District Attorney and admitted
that the uniforms bearing his labels
were made by him. lie said, however,
that they were not rejects and were
not made from cloth furnished to him
by the government for uniforms to be
supplied by contract. He insisted that
he had the right to manufacture uni
forms for enlisted men if he could get
the same kind Of cloth that the gov
eminent selected for its use.
After questioning Reynolds, Thomp
son and Goldberg, Mr.. Swami called
up Federal District Attorney Caffrey,
and the information was turned over
to Assistant District Attorney John C.
Knox, Of that Office. Mr. Swami then
expressed a desire to cooperate with
the Federal authorities in suppressing
the irregular trading in army livery.

State Seeks Lawyer
TO Defend Girl Slayer
Jennie Mattano Killed Sweet
heart, but Plight Moves Dis
trict Attorney Lewis

If these were the days of chivalry
and Jennie Mattano a lady of high
degree, some valiant knight would up
holster himself in armor plate and
ride forth to redress her wrongs.
But this is 1913 and Jennie Mattano
is no princess in Distress She is only
young Italian girl who tried to re-
dress her own wrongs with disastrous
results. She is held in Raymond
Street Jail, under Indictment for MUIR
der, for on November % she shot and
killed her sweetheart, Giovanni Pts
siglio, who had taken from her all that
a woman holds precious. The Mattano
family is very poor, and unless some
counsel volunteer his services she will
not even be afforded the protection
that certain Of her higher born sisters
have been granted when faced with a
similar charge.
The girls plight has touched the
feelings of District Attorney Lewis,
the man who is bound by law to try
to send her to her death Last night
he appealed to his fellow lawyers for
some one who would prove a worthy
antagonist in the battle he must wage
against her.
Il ask" said the District Attorney,
that the young woman may have
counsel as skilled as certain women of
wealth and social position who have
been accused and tried for homicide
have had. 1t is unjust that she should
not get as able legal representation as
they. | will be obliged to prosecute
the case vigorously, but l feel that it
will be reproach 20 justice if the
woman is not adequately defended"

The scarab ors wing ed beetle, which.
figures so largely in all Egyptian decora-
ton, was regarded by the ancient Egyp-
tians as the symbol of Immortality.
Because Of this belief tie curious insect.
was engraved upon all sorts Of precious
stones or carved into gems.
These gems were worn as amulets as
protection from i'll luck and were highly
regarded as especially attractive gifts
among friends.

1T is an interesting fact that the
modern greeting Happy New Year
was current in Egypt several thousand
years ago. declared Pearl Doles Bell,
a famous writer, decorator and designer
Of New York, who has also delved into
the mysteries Of Egypt. For we find
on a scarab preserved in the collection
of the Metropolitan Museum. of Art
in New York the words, MAY Ra grant
you a Happy New Year.
Sometimes the inscribed scarabs were
used as seal rings are nowadays. The
impression made by such a seal was
supposed to have had a certain magic
force if the inscription on the stone was
well chosen and would bring to the
mind of the owner or user some high
thought.
.sThe scarabs were made to a great
extent of lapis lazuli, dark blue stone.
Sometimes they were set into rings and
it is known that some Of the soldiers
of Antony wore such rings as they
were believed to give their wearer great
courage and strength.
'sThe heart is the seat of life and the
scarab is the Egyptian symbol of the
heart. On the body of the dead Egypt
ian his pious relatives would place a
~ . 90
scarab cut from some hard stone on
which would be engraved chapter of
the ''Book of the Dead, the Egyptian
Book of Psalms.
1--WE need not 60 back three thousand
years to find the scarab considered a
lucky beetle. In the records of the
middle ages we see that an emerald to
be lucky must have a scarab engraved
on it and be worn as a brooch. And
even as late as our own day the scarab
holds his own as a favorite design.
Little does the wearer of the enamel
winged beetle think of it's original
significance in the glorious days of
Cleopatra.-Adv. D.. r.
