more general acceptance throughout

WAR AND BABIES

A recent dispatch from the British
front in Flanders contained two little
stories of children found unexpected
ly in the midst of the great battle
storm, and protected by the instructive
chivalry of British soldiers.
In Neuve Eglise, taken by the Ger
mans and retaken by the British, the
latter discovered two German babies
left by the German troops. The Tom
mics took them into trench for safe
ty, as the Germans were Smelling the
ruined town When the trench came
under a heavy fire, they fell back, TAX
ing the babies with them, and finally
delivered the tots, safe and sound. to
a field hospital in the rear. There the
English nurses are taking care of
them. ~ ..,'MFVNN

In another part of the Flanders line
two British artillery officers found
baby that had become separated from
its parents in the confusion of flight
before the German advance They
took the infant with them to a hay
left. which they were obliged to use as
an observation post. The weather was
cold, and the baby was thinly clad,
They placed it between them and kept
it warm with the heat of their own
bodies, Lated the baby was found
sound asleep between two corpses Its
saviors had been killed by shrapnel
The baby is now alive and well in

These were natural enough things.
Almost any Brton, Frenchman or
American would do them. There are
thousands of such instances in the
allied records.
But how we long, for the credit of
human nature, to read a few such
stories of German soldiersl we search
war literature for them. German liter.

we have an appalling history of
cruelties to women and children.
Deluded and brutalized by their
talse teaching and the example of
their Prussian masters. the German
troops are too busy with killing to
bother with such sentimental nonsense
as being merciful to helpless.

THE TRADE ACCEPTANCE

In these times of strain on the fin
ancial and material resources of the
nation. the effective utilization of
credit is indispensable if we are to
attain the maximum of success in the
great efforts we are making Credit
is created by q transaction which in
wolves a sale of something; if the
thing sold is a merchantable commod-
ity the resultant credit is classed as
commercial 1t may or may not have
bankable qualities. This is dependent
on the form in which it is expressed
1t may have bankable qualities in de-
gree, If the sale is of merchandise
passing toward consumption and the
credit is expressed in a form which
reduces the bankers risk to a mini
mum, that is, if there are two or more
names of responsible men or concerns
and the nature of the transaction is
recited. the paper would pass the
credit department of bank almost as
a matter of course.
A credit so created and expressed
not only gives to the seller of the
merchandise and the banker the best
insurance of payment on a day GER
tain. but it reacts to the benefit and
advantage of the community and the
nation. 1t creates and releases a cred
it which may be transformed into
funds that may be used in the general
or common service.
If the same credit is frozen up ON
the books of the sellers and remains
there until the cay of maturity or if
the seller borrows of bank, offering
as general but dndelivered security
the intangible evidence of debt due
him, the credit situation is not improv-
ed and it may be made worse.
The purpose of the Trade Accept
ance is, therefore. to give credit freer
play through insurance against uncer-
tainty and instability and to give to
business men and whole communities

REBUILDING WAR CRIPPLE

New and ingenious appliances have
been contrived, some of the best of
these by the war cripples themselves,
to enable the one.armed man to handle
tools. AT the vocational school at
Montpelier, France grip has
been signed which holds a
tool in any desired position
A. simpler modification of this per-
mits workman to hold a tool in three
positions in which the screw-drier.
hammer and file respectively are held
In order that one-armed turner may
drill hole, there is socket fitted
with springs by means of which the
handle of the tool may be firmly grasp
ed BY the invention of a special
gauntlet for the use of men with
muscilo--spinal paralysis, one carpen-
;er was enabled to go back to his
trade and two men who were study
ing designed could use their instru-
ments as handily as uninjured men.
Often however an arm-stump can be
so strengthened that the workmen
lays his complicated artificial arm
aside, getting along with natural
strength and skill remains to him.
Men who have lost their right arms
are taught to use their left. In GER
tain German schools four or five
weeks course in training the left
hand is given them before they are
permitted to enter a trade-course
The teachers in such classes are
themselves one-armed and instruction
includes dressing, feeding, shaving
writing, drawing, the use of simple
tools. gymnastics and sports. One eX-
pert recommends that jugglers be en-
gagged to assist in teaching the one
handed.

Mrs. John Won Eyth
Files Suit For Divorce

After less than one year of married
life with John A. Won Eyth, Mrs. Hazel
M. Won Eyth has filed suit for d.
voree in the circuit court of Marion
county. Before her marriage, Mrs.
Won Eyth was the widow of A. G.
Newsome, well known in Salem and
Howell Prairie.
She alleges cruel and inhumane treat
ment. In her petition for divorce she
alleges that "she had good financial
and social standing in the community
and that he represented himself to be a
man of high social and financial stand
ing and possessed of large financial
interests. F" That very soon after her
marriage with Won Eyth she found that
what he had told her was false and
that be had no money or social stand
ing. She also alleges that he found
fault with her on account of her love
and fondness for her mother and other
relatives and that he treated her rela-
tives in a disrespectfnl manner.
She asks for tbeqrestoration Of her
name Hazel Newsome and other re-
lief. 1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Won Eyth was for time cashier for
the Oregon theatre and that later she
was married to A. G. Newsome. He
lived but a few months after their
marriage. About year or so after
Mr.. Newsome s death, she married Won
Eyth on short acquaintance.
