Two Women Are Decorated by klr(

London.-Caught in a German gas
attack on the Belgian lines, Baroness
Tserclaes and Miss Marie Chisholm
risked their lives to attend to the
wounds Of King Albert's soldiers. Both
women are in London recovering from
the effects of the German gas.
They were equipped with gas masks
in their dressing station, which was
Immediately behind the battle line. but
discarded them without thought of the
danger in order better to attend the
wounded. Both have been decorated
by King Albert for bravery.
The women had conducted an adj
vanced dressing station on the Belgian
front for three years. They worked in
the cellar of a house just behind the
Belgian positions along the Newport
Ypres railway. In recent attack the
Germans drenched the whole Belgian
front with gas. They then attacked,
but the Belgians repulsed them.
The gas fumes penetrated into the
cellar, where the women were work
ing. They donned their gas masks
and continued to attend the wounded.

They discarded their respirators. They

wounds and rendering flrst-aid assist.

AUT0IsT MUST WATCH LEAKS
II VIII Paw Car Owner to Make Ihor-
ouoh Examination at Least Ev'
cry Three Months.

There are so many places about inc
motor where leaks are likely to de-
velop that it will pay the car owner 10
% over the mechanism once In three
months with this in mind. Frequent
offenders are the spark plugs ana
nriming cups. Pour little oil around
the lower parts of these while the en-
CINE is running. If there IS a leak
bubbles in the oil will betray 1t. An
other vulnerable place for leakage Is
the valve system. See whether 'he
valve stems and push rods are GOV
cred with oil; if they are the stems or
guides are probably worn, or the push
rods or their guides may be to Dlame'
The cylinder head is liable to deVelop
leakage if the gasket is not in good
condition or the head spring out OF
shape. Leakage at the inlet manifoid
connection to the carburetor may cause
poor motor operation by thinning the
mixture. Sometimes the leakage here
is so great that it cannot be overcome
bv reducing the amount of air going
through the carburetor itself.

LOOSE Rim CAUSES TROUBLE
by Squeaking Sound When Out
of Alignment.

1t Is generally understood nowadays
that wheels which are out OF align
ment cause undue tire wear. Few
owners, however, realize that rims
which are loose or otherwise improp-
erly mounted will have the same eff
feet of causing excessively rapid tread
wear. A loose rim generally makes its
presence known by blinking or
squeaking sound. This is not always
so. for occasionally small stone or
some sand may get in between the
rim and felloe so as to prevent noise.
The rim appears to be tight, but In
reality is running out of alignment
and wearing out the tire.

APPEAL FOR THRIFT
President Asks Citizens to Buy
Only Essentials.
SYSTEMATIC SAVING URGED
People Requested to Pledge by June
% to Invest in War Savings and
Thrift Stamps, or other Government
Securities.

Washington, ID. C.-To save mate
,aIssond labor for necessary war pur-
noses President Wilson appealed to
Americans "to buy only those things
which are essential to the Individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
taer on or before June %, National
Thrift day, to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
This war is one of nations-not OF
armies" said the president. and all
of our 100000 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
70 war conditions If this nation is to
play its full part In the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
1.-THE problem before us is not pri-
marily financial problem. but rather
n problem of increased production of
war essentials and the saving OF the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment OF our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
ture OF money for nonessentials uses
up the labor OF men. the products OF
the farm. mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation, all OF
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
1.-THE great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the partclpa-
ton of young and old in national
thrift movement. | therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, to the practice or
thrift: to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary to the winning
OF the war: to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential To indlyid-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More U. S. Securities"
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department are. so many OF them.
within the reach of every one that the
door OF opportunity In. this matter is
wide open TO all OF us.
II appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Saving stamps
TO continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them 10 the extent
OF their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power OF his money to the
United States government until after
this war and to that same degree does
not buy In competition with the gov
eminent.
81 earnestly appeal TO every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June 2S to save constant
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government.
The 2Sth OF June ends this special
period Of enlistment In the great vol
unteer army OF production and saving
here at home. May there be none I'M
enlisted on that day"
