LITTLE DAUGHTER
 IN HER OWN HOME

Not quite five months old little Dorothy Watkins, twice adopted, was placed in her mothers loving care again yesterday by order of Judge Lyman. When the child was but l few days old, it was legally adopted by couple who were enormously proud of the pretty baby and gave 1t devoted attention. When, however, John Watkins was called into the service, the adopted parents recog- nized the prior claim of the real mother and father and did not op- pose the adoption proceedings held yesterday.
 Watkins will leave Monday with the contingent. When he goes to Camp Cody he will leave behind the tiny daughter who has been reinstated in her own home.

CHARMING PAIR OF
 K|DD|ES' AID FUND

Two of the most active workers in the Red Cross drive last week were Miss Betty Fickas and John O'Malley IT,, who invaded the business distric: carrying small baskets in which nickels and dimes made a grand total of $73.
 Little Miss Fickas is the daughter of Mel Fickas, for the past several months field clerk in foreign ser vice. She was one of the most in- teresting little figures in the drive which she carried on with the same sincere, earnestness as the leaders who undertook to double Arizona s quota. She had an excellent CO., worker in another small person and when Betty and John appeared at the Rotary club Friday, sz3 was turned into the basket by the mem bers.
 The little folks marched in the parade last evening and gathered in a collection of coins as their last ef- forts in the big drive.

DEFENDANT PROVES
 ID BE REAL SPORT

"Tll be as good a sport as you are' declared F. J. Elliot to Justice Wheeler yesterday when the latter gave him a suspended sentence for violating the speed law, and turned over the usual fine of $10 to the Red Cross.
 Elliott, who is stranger here, was in ignorance of the motor laws. He had been told the 20 mile limit was 25 mile limit and had gone full meas ure. When stopped by the motor cop he declared he was travelling at the rate of 25 miles, which the law allowed.

CARING FOR THE TOP

The top should never be folded when damp or wet, but should be kept open until thoroughly dry Gasoline should not be used for removing sports, as many tops have rubber in their com position and the oily substance tends to disintegrate it. Good castillo soap and water are best for removing stains. Rub the father in with stiff brush and wash with clean water. Chloro- form is often used for removing stains.

Britain Leans to Decimal System.

The movement in England looking
toward the adoption of the decimal
system for currency, which has the
backing of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce of the United Kingdom, Is
gaining ground. The London Statist
states that the association has resolved
TO press the matter upon the attention
OF the government and to urge the in
PRODUCTION of bill In parliament. It
is proposed to retain the sovereign as
standard value of thousand mills, the
half sovereign 800 mills. the four shil'
ling piece 200 mills, the twO-shllling
piece or form 100 mills, the half
florin. commonly known as the shilling.
so mills, and the siXpence % mills. OF
subsidiary coinage il is recommended
to coin ten-mill pieces and tive-mill
pieces. Below these it is suggested
that four-mill three-mill and two-mill
piece also be coined, and if found de-
sirable n coin representing one mill.
As the farthing is so little used ii is
not regarded as likely that anything
below the value Of half penny will be
coined.

Absorbent Cotton Twice Used.

Through the ingenuity of French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that In the military hospitals of Paris
alone about 400 pounds of absorbent
cotton was used daily, n process has
been developed which makes it posi-
BILE to use soiled cotton second time.
The first step is the removal of all
grease by boiling ten or twelve hours
in n soda solution, or by treating 1t
under pressure for three hours in a
sealed container filled with the same
solution After this the cotton is thor
oughly washed in a machine and all
the moisture removed by placing 1t in
n high-speed centrifugal drier. Drying
is followed by bleaching with hypo-
chlorine of lime and n second washing
and drying. Finally the purified pro-
duet Is carded, packed and again ster-

Confederate congress came very neni

Davis while they were carrying on the

the criticisms ii is generally found
that the people do not ditferentlnte be-

If 1t were not a fact that n political
campaign is already brewing, and that
the two great parties have begun n
struggle for control Of the house or
representatives, II is doubtful II any
politics could he injected into the war
situation. But the campaign is on and
politics and the war are getting mixed
together. This may account for the
character of the speeches recently
made in congress and the removal Of
the attitude of Democratic politicians
who have been antagonistic TO the ad-

had new light on patriotism; but
the possibilities are that they have
been hearing from people of their own

Patch Skull With Patients Own Ribs.

The replacing of destroyed portions
of skull with layers of cartilage taken
from the patients own ribs is one
of the latest methods of healing war
injuries. Ii. Warren Woodrofre, sur
geon of the Ulster Volunteer hospital
in France, describes the method which
has been successfully tried on num-
Der of severely wounded men.
Cutting down to the ribs parallel TO
the breast bone, the surgeon slices off
thin layers of the cartilage which at

The scalp Is then stitched back in place.

Washington.-One reason why Pres
ident Wilson opposes any Legislation
introducing additional officials in the
conduct of the war is because he Is
fully convinced that anything like di-
vided responsibility is conducive TO IN
efficient prosecution or the war. lie
has found that differences are constant
~ cropping out between the civil au-
thorities in England and France and
the military authorities of those ma
lions. While 1t is supposed that the
civil authorities in both countries are
really In control of the prosecution Of
the war, in reality the military are in
command OF the armies.
Conflicting requests are made by the
civil authorities upon the United
States, and the president has on sew
eral occasions been much puzzled in
regard TO what he should do. The mil
itary authorities naturally want food,
munitions and soldiers sent over for
the armies. The civil authorities have
represented that food and clothing for
the civilian population is all-important.
On account of the conflict existing the
president realizes that one man must
be commander in chief of the army
and Of the navy. and also director or
the civil government in order to sue
cessfully prosecute the war.
