Three OLD SUITS FOR
new ONE in BERLIN
Strict Rules Are Enforced to Con-
serve the Diminishing Sup
ply of Cloth.

To conserve the diminishing supply
Of clothing in Germany, the German
government has imposed regulations
requiring that, for all articles of linen
or personal wear to be purchased, three
similar worn articles must be returned.
This increases the scope and rigOr of
the clothing cards introduced less than
a year ago.
The regulation applies to cotton
stockings, gloves, collars, table linen
and cloth materials for various house
hold purposes. For every suit or over
coat two well-worn or one in good con-
dition must be surrendered. The only
articles of ordinary wear or use that
are exempted from card regulation
are wooden shoes and silk things.
More than a year ago there was much
talk in Germany Of reducing the con-
sumption of cloth by inducing patriot
ic-minded women to return to the old
but fashionable tight skirt. The maxi
mum quantity of material, in meters,
which should be used for dress was
even stipulated. The economy was not
successfully accomplished, however, for
the German women, though they short
ened their skirts appreciably, made
them wide and full.
Now, therefore, there is pending
rigid specifications limiting the number
of yards of cloth which may be devoted
to any garment of given proportions
depending upon the size of the prospec-
tive wearer. And if the wearer needs
linen and other garments than outer
clothes she must turn in three CORE
spending worn-out pieces Of lingerie.
The strict rules and regulations that
are growing stricter each month have
led naturally to an increased amount
of deception and countless attempts by
those who possess stocks of clothing
to evade the card system by selling at
abnormally high prices to those who
cannot procure cards.

Heirs Get Money From the Govern
ment After 81 Years.
Mrs. q. M. Morton, John Hicks, Ger
trude and Annie Simpson, heirs of
Thomas I. Hicks, all of Mountain
Home, Ark, received a treasury war;
rant not long ago for $361.58 for
money due Mr.. Hicks at the beginning
of the Civil war.
He had the mail contract between
Middleburg and Bolivar, Tenn. Imme-
diately after the war Hicks joined the
Home Guards at Middleburg. After
the war he came to the Arkansas
Ozarks. For years after the war he
endeaYOred to collect the amount due
him from the government, but died be-
fore it was paid.
Mrs. z. M. Horton, one of his chill
dren, remembered the account, and a
few years ago the documents were
turned over to Congressman J. n. Till
man of that district, who got a special
bill through congress which made the
allowance. In the same bill were
claims of a similar nature amounting
to $4,000.

GIRLS RISK LIVES
ON FRENCH FRONT
Ambulance Drivers Work Close to
Firing Lines.
WINNING LAURELS FOR SEX
Show UnfaIIlng Courage In Time of
Danger and Display Splendid Ability
as Drivers and MechanIcians-
American Society Girls Doing Great
Service In Gathering Up Wounded
on the Battle Front.

Over the shell-scarred ground of
Flanders, and in practically every dan
ger zone on the war map Of Europe,
women ambulance drivers are today
winning laurels for the sex because of
their unfailing courage in time of dan
ger and for their splendid ability as
drivers and mechanicians.

and on the continent, but the soldierly

bit at the front today are getting more
thrills to the minute than any speed

dollars in fines for the privilege.
Collecting the wounded is not the
simple thing of running over to the
station to meet the trains and trans
porting the wounded to the nearby
hospitals. Indeed, not. The women
drivers of the ambulances go right
up to the clearing station within reach
of the big guns.

so far any of the girls who have vol
unteered for this dangerous branch Of
the service have pulled any Lydia
Languish stunt in the face of an emer-
gency.
Attached to the Scottish Women's
hospital, which, by the way, was plan
ned and is being carried out entirely
by women, is an X-ray automobile,
driven by woman, which has saved a
good many lives.
AS the wounded are taken back
from the line q picture is taken and
developed as the car runs back to the
hospital. In this way the women sur
geOns realize the most critical cases
and they are rushed straight to the
operating table. The picture of the
wounded being ready for the operating
surgeon, she knows exactly what she
has to deal with. Many Of the boys
owe their lives to these X-ray ambu-
lances and the plucky girls who are
driving them.
Women of wealth all over the world
have found they could serve their
country best by using their knowledge
of how to drive and care for car.
Hundreds of them have volunteered.
Society Girls in Service.
Miss Maria Laurence-Wetherill, a
New York society girl, has been driv-
ing an ambulance on the French front.
She is accounted one of the most skill
full operators in the motor service.
Miss Hilda S. Amber of Bridge
port, Conn.,, has joined the Volunteer
Ambulance division. She is also an
expert driver and mechanic. Miss Am
bier has adopted the uniform worn by
the British Royal Flying corps.
Mrs. Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff
is another well-known New York wom-
an who is quickly helping in the res
cue work of the wounded boys on the
allied fronts. She heads a number of
women drivers from the National
League for Woman's Service who left
early last month for France and who
are stationed somewhere along the
lines, doing their share in the work of
rushing the wounded to the hospitals
and also in permitting other men to
rush to the colors who would be
obliged to drive the ambulances had
not women proved such splendid sub
sttuteS.

CURES SHATTERED NERVES
Electric Current Restores Soldiers to
Normal Condition.

Normal Condition.
German newspapers announce that
the army physicians have discovered
a successful method of curing the
nervous aff1iction so frequent among
disabled soldiers, which causes a con-
stant trembling of the whole or part
of the body.
DR.. Ernst Bayer, head Of the nerve
hospital at Roderbirken, has outlined
method of electrical treatment which,
1t Is claimed, often effects a complete
cure in a few days, and is almost in
variably effective within q period Of
three weeks. The newspapers describe
his method as follows:
"By the application of gentle cleo
trio current which causes no pain what
ever, good results have been obtained
In few minutes or at the longest two
and a half hours. A course of treat
ment is required after this, which does
not last more than two or three weeks,
and in light cases Is finished in a few
days. New attacks may occur due to
excitement or nerve strain, but are
easily cured"

SAYS WAR MARRIAGES
SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED
Dr.. Clara MacNaughton Says
Married Men Fight Better Be-
cause Stake Is Bigger.

"In my opinion and In that Of sil
the French with whom I have ass0Gi-
ated during my three years work IN
Paris, the Americans are doing wrong
In their tacit Encouragement Of var
marriages." said DR.. Clara MacNaugh-
ton, In an address to the National
League of American Penwomen In
Washington.
'"The experience Of the French is
that the war bride Is an immense fac
tor In the determination Of the peo-
pie and their confidence OF ultimate
victory. The married man fights bet
ter because his stake In the struggle
Is greater. He is more hopeful, and
when depressed, more quickly gets
back to normal. The constant thought
Of one who lives an The hope of his
Homecoming helps him to ignore hard
ships.
"French surgeons have been quick
to recognize that the married man has
an added stimulus to get well. If hope
lessly crippled he is sure Of devotion,
and has not like the bachelor soldier,
the feeling that his future must be
devoid Of companionship.
"For the woman the war marriage
is equally an incentive-not only to do
her bit but her 'all.' She enters more
fully into the war work, and the fact
that her affections are so greatly Cn-
gagged causes her to minimize the hard
ships which weigh so heavily upon the
unmarried.
"While U-considered and hasty war
marriages are not to be defended on
any ground, the marriage Of those
whose acquaintance is Of long stand
ing and whose affections are firmly
fixed, should not, in my judgment, be
postponed. That we have so general
ly urged their postponement is part
Of the American idea that women
should be shielded as far as possible
from the buffets of life. The French
are taking the view that the woman
has as much right to risk her all for
her country as the man-soldier has.
eff we are to have along war, such
marriages will mean an increase in
population of which we will stand
greatly in need"

Major General Mccain, adjutant gen.
eral of the United States army, is said
to have the names of between 1000
and 5000 men in the National army
suspected of beng German spies or dis
loyal Americans. The lists, with g re-
port on each man, were compiled by
commanders of companies, heads Of
batteries and members of the intelli-
gence bureau. Many of the suspects,
it is understood, are of German birth.
Internment for some is said to have
been recommended by their command
ing officers.
In the Eastern cantOnmentS, 1t is
said was found the largest number of
suspects. Some camps have sent in as
many as 200 names. The search for
spies has not been confined to the Ma
tional army, but has been equally as
thorough in training camps for officers
and others.
