OLD PALACES IN ITALY
TURNED IN HABITATIONS
AFTER CENTURIES OF FDISUSE
(By Associated Press. }

Rome, Feb. 26.-The finest old pal
aces in Italy are gradually being
turned into habitations again after
centuries of disuse, due to the need
for soldier hospitals and for shelter
for the hundreds of thousands Of ref
ugees from the invaded provinces.
Part of the immense palace at Caser-
to, built in 1852 for the King of Ma
pies. commonly known as the Yer
sailles Of Italy has been turned into a
barrack for Austrian prisoners. Two
years ago King Victor Emanuel and
Queen Elena gave the huge royal pal
ace on the Quirinal hill in Rome for
use as a hospital, and lately they ev-
en- gave their own private apartments
to refugee children.
Among the buildings belonging to
the Catholic church loaned for the
same purpose by order of Pope Bene-
dict is the monastery Of st. Anslem
on the Aventine Hill.
The American Red Cross has rec.
commended the housing of refugees ir
specially built huts as these places
are untitled for the homes Of poor oil
working people.

REDUCE PRICE OF SHAVES,
BUT ADVANCE HAIRCUTS

Baltimore, Feb. 27.-A shave, right
in the best barber shops in the city,
for FIVE cents!
That is, providing you also get a
haircut The latter in the majority
of barber shops, costs from thirty to
forty cents.
War times have struck the tonsorial
parlors and the shaving business has
decreased alarmingly. So, presto! The
smart barber advances the price Of a
haircut and reduces the price of a
shave.
The result is, one pays the same
price for a haircut and shave, as OF
yore. Only the proportionate pay is
different

asked by the Secretary of the Treas

President Wilson will write a per-
sonal letter of thanks to the scout in

offered to give a victory flag in each
State to the troop standing at the
top at the end of the year.
Secretary McAdoo, in his appeal to
the scouts, says:
Your splendid work in the Liberty
Loan campaigns proved that the Gov
ernment can count on you and your
organization. Knowing that you are
always ready to serve your country,
and realizing how widely war-savings
stamps may be sold through your eff
forts, | take pleasure in presenting
you another opportunity.
Five million red postcards have
been printed by the Government for
the special use of the scouts. These
are orders for the local postmaster tC
deliver savings stamps. The boys
will take the orders for stamps from
house to house, drop the signed cards
in the,mail box, and the post Office
