WHAT W;GlT CAN
@lA E5$ EbSt

From the Red Cross Bulletin, issued
at Washington, D. c., July g. the fol-
lowing article appears about the
motor corps service:
More than six thousand women
now are included in the personnel of
the Red Cross motor corps service. AS
q result of a conference recently held
In Washington at the call of the direc-
tor of the bureau of motor corps serv-
Ice, the motor service in six of the
principal cities of the country which
previously had been Independent in
Its organization, was amalgamated
with the Red Cross corps. This makes
the Red Cross motor corps service a
thoroughly co-ordinated institution,
able to meet the local and inter-local
demands for transportation through
out the length and breadth Of the land
On nationaliZed basis.
The organizations which have be-
come parts of the Red Cross motor
corps service are the motor messenger
service of Philadelphia, the, National
Service league motor corps Of Atlanta,
the National Service league motor
corps of New York city and Buffalo,
the emergency motor corps of New
Orleans, and the emergency drivers
Of Chicago. All these organizations
we're represented at the conference by
their commanding officers, who now
become commanders Of the Red Cross
motor corps service in their respective
cities. The four independent services

RANK WITH EAST'S WONDERS
Famous Temples at Mandalay, in Up
per Burma, Spectacle That Few
Tourists Care to Miss.

Of the many strange buildings ana
temples In the far East, says writer
in Wide World Magazine, there are
none more wonderful than the 45O
Temples of the Law at Mandalay, in
Upper Burma, known as the Ruthol-
daw, or Royal Merit" The group
consists of a large central pagoda sur
rounded by hundreds of smaller white
temples, or shrines. They were erect
ed by Ainshay-min, who ascended the
throne on the death of his brother in
1867. The latter was cruelty murdered
by his two nephews, and it appears
that this very much affected the new
king. Not only did he devote his ener-
gies to peace, but erected this strange
group of temples, each one of which
contains a slab on which is engraved
a portion of the Buddhist bible. These
holy tablets are made of soft marble
or alabaster, each slab being about
the size of large old-fashiOned tomb
stone. On both sides are engraved
CHAPTERS from the Buddhist scriptures.
Over every slab is erected a canopy
surmounted by a gilded framework of
metal with small tinkling bells. The
temples are situated in a beautiful
wooded valley, and seen from the sur
rounding hills they present a fascina-
ting picture.

PRIMITIVE WAYS IN ARABIA
Mode of Life Differs Little From
What 1t Was in the Time of
Abraham.

1t appears that in certain parts OF
the Arabian desert life is as primitive
as in Abraham's time. Sheep are
still slain to seal vow. The salt or
bread covenant is observed and, when
a man dies his tent is torn down and
destroyed.
Old names like Joseph, Moses, Alex
ander, etc, are still in common use
among Arabs, although pronounced
"Yusuf," "NIusa" and "Skandar." To
divorce his wife a man may repeat the
formula "Ent telek" three times; usu-
ally uttering it once makes the woman
behave and the repetition is not nee
essary. The evil eye superstition is
common, and the first injunction CIV
en- foreigner by experienced Arabian
travellers is that he must not point al
animals or persons in Arab settle
mentS.
Arabs say that man possessed or
this malign power can look at q bird
flying in the air and it will drop dead;
that if he chooses to cast his wicked
spell on a camel it may go lame. CT a
child may be struck blind. None of
the lower class can read or write, but
the Arab is noted for his ready wit
and his habit Of speaking in allegory.

l awoke, and l found myself right in
a German backyard. You can imagine
that l lost no time in getting out of
that neighborhood and l made up my
mind right there and ther that l would

wherever it happened to be, l had
plenty of opportunity to study my map,
and before very long knew it almost
by heart. Unfortunately, however, it
did not show all the rivers and canals
which l encountered and sometimes it
fooled me completely.
1t must have been about the ninth
night that l crossed into Luxembourg,
but though this principality is officially
neutral, ii offered me no safer Il haven

Georgette crepe and satin have
rivaled one another in afternoon
gowns during the present summer,
with georgette the choice little more
often than satin. But with summer
on the wane, the indications are that
satin will outstrip georgette and hold
first place in fashions favor. A
lovely gown is shown in the picture,
In which these two beautiful materials
have joined forces to make a dress
Of wonderful distinction in which
beige colored georgette and black satin
are frightened with a beaded passe-
menterie. 1t is one of the new evo-
lutions that have come along in the
train of slip-over garments.
There are several features in this
new model that will commend 1t to
the woman who has present need of a
new afternoon gown. We have come
to the place where it goes without say
ing that an afternoon gown will do
double duty as long as it survives the
demands made upon it for both after
noon and evening; for it must take the
place of evening gowns. To begin with
the most essential of all things, this
particular model has beautiful lines.
1t is cut in an original manner with
n narrow yoke and upper portion of
the sleeves in one. The body of the
gown hangs in straight lines from the
yoke. to which it is attached with hem
stitching. The lower part of the
long flaring sleeve is joined to the up
per portion in the same way.
The lower part of the gown shows
two wide bands of black satin, one of
them set on to an underslip of silk and
the other to the georgette of the
frock. Where these are joined two mar
row. bands of beaded trimming, in
black and beige, make a very rich and
effective finish. The sleeves are
banded with this trimming at the
hand. The underslip is of beige col
ored foulard, with a black scroll de-
sign in it, but plain foulard or taffeta
is as good a choice for gown that
is to do duty for evening wear. The
narrow sash is of black satin and
loops over at the back, weighted at

my uniform would have been a dead
give-away. Anyone who captured me
or who gave information from which
my capture resulted might have been
sure of a handsome reward. l knew
that it was necessary for me to make
progress as fast as possible, but the
main consideration was to keep out of
sight, even if it took me year to get
to Holland, which was my objective.
From my map / estimated that I was
about thirty-five miles from Strassburg
when 1 made my leap from the train.
and if l could travel in a straight line
L had perhaps one hundred and fifty
miles to travel. AS it was, however,
was compelled to make many detours,
and l figured that two hundred and
fifty miles was nearer the extent of the
journey ahead of me.
In several parts of this country l had
to travel through forests of young pine
trees about twelve feet high. They
were very close together and looked
almost as if they had been set out.
They proved to be a serious obstacle
to me because, l could not see the stars
through them and 1 was relying upon
the heaven to guide me to freedom. I
am not much of an astronomer, but l
know the Pole Star when see it. But
for it l wouldn't be here today!
believed it rained every night and
day while 1 was ms<ing my way
through Germany and Luxembourg.
My invariable program at this stage
of my journey was to travel steadily
all night until about six in the morn
ing, when 1 would commence looking
around for place wherein to hide
during the day. Low bushes or woods
back from the road, as far as possible
from the travelled pathway, usually
s&ved me for this purpose. Having
found such spot 1 would drop down
and try to sleep. My overcoat was
my only covering, and that was usu-
ally soaked through, either from the
rain or from swimming.
The only sleep l got during those
days was from exhaustion, and it usu-
ally came to me towards dusk when
it was time for me to start again.
1t was a mighty fortunate thing for
me that was not smoker. Somehow
I have never used tobacco in any form.
1 was now fully repaid for whatever
pleasure had foregone in the past as
a result of my habits in that partic-
ular, because my sufferings would GER
tainly have been intensified now if, in
addition to lack of food and rest, I
had had to endure a craving for to-
bacco.
About the sixth night I was so
drowsy and exhausted when the time
came for me- to be on the move, that
was very much tempted to sleep
through the night l knew, however,
that that would be bad precedent to
establish and 1 wouldn't give in.
l plugged wearily along and about
II o'clock, after l had covered perhaps
four miles, sat down to rest for a
moment on q shock of brush which
was sheltered from the driZzle some
what by other shocks which were
stacked there. 1t was daylight when

added more than six hundred members
to the motor corps ranks.
In the comparatively few months
during which the national bureau has
been in control of the volunteer mo-
tor corps of the various cities, imp0r-
tant progress has been made in eff
cacy and uniformity of service. Rules
and requirements have been standard
lied so that those not enthusiastically
sincere in their work find no interest
in the service. Under the conditions
existing a certified driver feels pride
in her position.
=
In conformity with the request OF
the war department the uniform or
khaki and the insignia formerly em-
ployed have been discarded. The new
regulation uniform of the motor CORPS
is to be of Red Cross oxford gray.
Commanders will wear three silver
diamonds, embroidered on their Shout
der straps. Captains will wear two
silver diamonds, first lieutenants one,
and second lieutenants gilt diamond.
Pearl gray tabs on the collar will in
dicate staff officers. Service stripes
will be worn on the sleeves.
The cars of the service are to Do
distinguished by white metal pen
nant, bearing the red cross and the
words Motor Corps" This and the
drivers Identification card will BE-
sufficient to give the cars the right 09
way when on official business.

From Center Of Ball.

There is best way Of winding wool
for knitting and that is the way thai
causes the wool to unwind from the
center. To do this roll q piece Of
stiff paper two and half inches long
by two inches wide into a tube. Meas
ure off about eight inches Of wool as
the end and begin winding the resi-
about the tube. When enough has
been wound to hold the tube securely
tuck the eight-inch loose end complete
ly into one end of the tube. Do ROf
cover this end in further winding, but
the other end may be covered. Ii is
best to wind six or eight times in ODs
direction before turning to wind in

mediately it is good idea to allow

apparent to one who knew. 1t must
not be forgotten, however, that l did
not undertake this adventure volun-
tarily. 1t was wished on me-" I
simply had to make the most Of the
knowledge had.
At about this time blisters began to
appear on my legs and my knees
swelled. In addition I was pretty well
convinced that 1 had lost the sight Of
my left eye. 1 hadn't seen a thing out
Of it since my leap from the train.
When I imagine the villainous ap-
pearance must have presented at this
time-my unhealed wounds, eighteen
days growth of beard and general
haggard and unkept visage-I think
the fear felt about meeting strangers
was perhaps unwarranted. The
chances are they would have been in
finitely more scared than 1
AS it was, I was nearly out of Lux
embourg before 1 came face to face
with anyone. 1t was about 6 o'clock in
the morning and I was travelling along

violated the neutrality of both, and dis
covery would have been followed by
the same consequences as capture in
Germany proper.
In the nine days had covered per-
haps seventy-five miles, and l was that
much nearer liberty, but the lack of
proper food, the constant wearing of
wet clothes, and the loss of sleep and
rest had reduced me to a very much
weakened condition. 1 doubted very
much whether l would be able to con-
tinue, but I plugged along.

CHAPTER TX.
| Enter Belgium.

l have said it was about the
eighteenth day after my escape that
1 entered Belgium, but that is more
or less guess work. I was possibly
we'll into that country before l real
lied that had crossed the line.
About the third day after I figured
was in Belgium started to swim
a canal just before daylight. 1 was
then heading due north in the direc-
ton of the German lines. I was just
about the wade into the canal when
I heard a German yelling violently,
and for the first time I knew l was
being followed.

EiIininos PLAY Flute with Nose.

It is not an uncommon spectacle to
see a negro play a harmonica with his
nostrils. Among the Filipinos flute
is never played in any other way, and
it would create much surprise in that
country to see man play flute with
the mouth. These nose-futists can
play the ordinary music with ease, but
fast ragtime is too much for them.

Lucid Enulish.

A recent advertisement contains the
following: "If the gentleman who
keeps the boot shop with the red head
will return the umbrella Of young
lady with whalebone ribs and an iron
handle to the slate-roofed grocer's
shop he will hear of something to his
advantage, as the same is the gift of
a deceased mother now no more with
the name engraved upon it."

stopped over and pretended to be ad-
justing my shoelace, figuring that If
the stranger turned into my path he
would probably pass right by me. AS
luck would have it, he continued on
his way and never noticed me at all.
After that 1 frequently noticed
groups of Luxembourg peasants in
the distance but I usually saw them
first and managed to avoid them.
On the eighteenth. day after my leap
from the train 1 crossed into Belgium.
It had taken me just nine days to get
through Luxembourg-a distance
which a man could ordinarily cover
in two, but considering the handicaps
under which 1 labored was very well
satisfied with my progress.
