PUBLIC WARNED
 TO WATCH OUT
 FOR 40 TAKERS

Hartford, March 6-The probable presence in Connecticut of notorious professional solicitors. with unsavory regulations was made evident in warning given out today through the Connecticut State Council of Defense
 Several well-known characters who make fat living from business men and manufacturers by soliciting con- tributions and advertising in the names of various fictitious organiza. tions and publications have trans- ferred their activities to Connecticut from Massachusetts. according to in. formation received by the State De- fense Council from official sources in Boston. They have come here, it is alleged, in the belief that the large amount of business which Connecticut manufacturers and business men are doing will make them "easy marks" for solicitors for fake causes.
 The State Council of Defense has given out this warning in order that manufacturers and others may be on their guard against any sort of fake solicitors who claim to represent VaTlouS appears. Mdhy heH III MdS sachusetts have been the victims of these men and the warning comes from Boston that several of them are known to be operating in Connecticut where they probably believe the pastures to be a little fresher and green than where they have custom- arily practiced their profession.
 Connecticut manufacturers or busi- ness men who wish information con- corning causes for which they are asked to buy advertising or make subscriptions can get it through their local agency of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, or through their
 local Chamber of Commerce.

WOMAN'S DANGER PERIOD.

The period between forty-five and fifty-five years of age is said to be crisis or danger period in a woman's life which tests her for her fitness to continue in the race. It is then that she suffers from such annoying symp- toms as heat-fashes, nervousness, headaches, "the blues," or dread of impending evil or some dormant dis ease in the system becomes active. When a woman is passing through this crisis there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound. which after forty years of success is now considered the standard remedy for woman's ailments.-Adv.

NO LICENSES FOR,
 DOPED MOTORISTS

Robbins B. Stoeckel, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. in the enforcement of his policy of revoking licenses held by persons addicted to the use of drugs, has already taken up in short time fifty-two licenses throughout the state. He has had the record of the operators looked up by clerks in his office and has found that twenty-sev- en of the addicts have been in auto mobile accidents. The Commissioner is satisfied that the number of acci- dents is due to the inability of the drug fiends to control their cars. He las been able to secure lists of ger sons in number of cities of the state who take drugs habitually and these lists enable his clerks to prevent the users from securing operators li- censes.
 There can be no doubt that the step taken by the Commissioner is of abid- ing advantage to the state, other mo- torists and to the drug users them- selves They are a perpetual menace when in charge of motor car and the fact being recognized the sooner they are eliminated from among the perils of the highway the better for all.

 ''In the raid Monday night at Warneton strong resistance was en- countered and at least 40 of the enemy were killed. Our troops, nev- ertheless, reached the second German line and repulsed two counter attacks with further loss to the enemy. Our own casualties were light.

Britishers Near
 Death For Want of
 Water In Holy City

London, March 6-Some of the hard ships experienced by the British forces in Palestine are described in letter received here from a priest. The let ter, written shortly before the fall of Jerusalem, tells of a day early in November when a camel convoy from Beersheba was unable to reach the men then fighting for the deliverance of the Holy City from the Turk.
 There was a hot wind blowing,'' '' wrote the priest. "A tumbler full Of water was left in my bottle which I divided between four officers whose lips were split and covered with a green slime. That afternoon I had a burial service, and, literally I could not articulate without keeping my hand to my mouth and pulling my lower lip off my teeth, while bullets from concealed sniper whizzed past us. In the evening water came in, enough to give each one bottIe-quite inadequate"

Dear Miss Grey: | have been
a reader of your columns for IA
years, but have never written
you before. | think people
have derived lot of real good
from your advice so | am
writing in hope you can find
space for a few opinions on this
subject.
My husband is a hard work
ing man and has to be on his
feet all day. When he comes
home at night he has to stand
up the whole way while wom-
en- who have had the whole day
to do their shopping and get
home, are seated, and those few
men that do get seats either
have to get up and give their
seats to them or sit there and
nave the women do and say ev-
erything except to ask for
seat.
| am a woman, myself, but l
manager to get home before
the workingmen rush starts. OF
course, there are working wom-
en- too; but | am speaking of
the ones that &C. down shopping
or to the movies, the ones that
have shopping bag full on
each arm and often a couple of
small children to get trampled
upon, or cry the whole way out.

Something Happened
BY THE EDITOR.

Some years ago Borleski, Whitman college back
field man, the effulgent star Of Pacific North
west football. The season that he came into his
ascendaney the Walla Walla college expected con-
fidently to capture from the University of Wash
ington (Gil Dobie, coach) the conference champion
ship.
Much was said and written of the mighty toe the
amazing speed the keen brain, the leadership, the
craft of this gridiron king And, truth to TELL Bor-
leski measured up to the hero worship. He was
wonder
Finally, it came Whitman's turn to meet Dobie's
eleven on the university field Many thousands
gathered to see the east side marvel cash up the
weltrained but not individually brilliant U. team.
WE'LL to be brief, this is about what happened:
Every time BOrleski received the ball anywhere
from three to eight purple and gold sweatered
forms would crunch down over his. Often, In fact
the pass would not even reach him, but would be
intercepted in mid air by some Washington man
that Dobie had coached to be in that particular
place at that particular time.
Borelesk couldn't display his wonderful kick
ing, because every time he wanted to kick four or
five q. men sat on his legs. He couldn't tear off
long, blue-streak, jagged runs down broken field
because he wasn't permitted to stand up when run
ming was in order. In fact Boreeski scarcely got a
yard away from his backfeld position during that
game.
After this lapse of years can't recall the exact
score that day, but it doubtless was about 20 to
for Washington, favorite DObie average.
recite all this history to express about what
seems to have happened, only on CHASTITY, terrible
scale to the well-known and much advertised Mr.
Hindenburg in Flanders. His third drive has come
to grinding, staggering halt.
For three days now the cables have been making
that very plain. But at the same time they have
been significantly silent as to exactly what has
taken place. 1t is every evident that something
terrific has struck Mr.. Hindenburg and that he
hasn't recovered yet. Whether Mr.. Haig did this,
or whether the quet-mannered Mr.. Foch did it,
and to what extent the eminent Hun gentleman was
laid out the referee and watercariers and sdeline
observers do not indicate.
But it is quite certain, at least, that the world
today is much better place in which to live than it
was three or four days back.

A Brand New One

Well, well; there is something new under the
sun
Here it is from the office of information, U. s.
Postoffice Department. and it lines up as perfectly
new under two different classifcations:
First-It's a new excuse.
Second-It's new fish story.
When your letter is few days late or your pa
per comes in week or two behind time it may be
hue to shortage of cars coal, labor-or fish. Get
that2 Fish!
If it came via the Seward-Anchorage Alaskan
line the delay was caused by fish, rather it was
raused by the shortage of fish
Fish play an important role in postal affairs up
there. Mail carriers drive wolf dogs, and wolf
dog won't dine on anything but raw fish. No cook
ed, boiled, fried or fricasseed food for the wolf
dog.
As one mail carrier out of Anchorage explains
10 the department: "The delays on account of
The dogs I can't get fresh fish for them and they
won't stand up under cooked food"
But do not be discouraged. Your mail from
Anchorage may some day arrive on time.
"I'm training the dogs to cooked food" the mail
carrier adds.
When those wof-hounds develop taste for
canned salmon, the Postoffice Department will
