WOMEN SHORN OF HAIR FOR
 SERIOUS DEFENSE

BIuges, November 21.-( Correspond ence of the Associated Press)-An am cient form of punishment in favor in the middle ages has been adopted in Belgium for Belgian women who were too friendly toward the German invad- ers or who listened to their love mak- ing. They have been shorn of their hair. Tn Bruges several women have suffered this retribution and either remain indoors or patronize the wig makers. IL is known that this method has been applied in at least one other place. The scenes attending the ap~ plication of this punishment has been rather boiste-ous.
 Corporal punishment is visited upon the pro-Germans among the Belgian men. but few of these awaited the wrath of the Belgian avengers. They decamped before the Belgian troops reoccupied the cities and towns which had been held under German domina- tion.
 Such cases as these have been re- markedly few The wonder is that there have not been more. The pro- portion is so small as to reflect greater glory op poor little Belgium.
 As whole the civil population of Belgium has remained wonderfully loyal By their system of communal administration, they were enabled to govern themselves, while the German was deluding himself that he was rul- ing. It enabled them to endure physi- cal privations, suffer death and re- sist the insidious propaganda of the German governors, Von Bissing, and

Animal That Wears Armor

From the Peoples Home Journal
 Of all the queer little people for whom Mother Nature has found use in, the than Hardshell and Armadillo Hard shell belongs to very old family. In fact, there are few who can trace their way back so far as can this little ani- nal. He belongs to an order called the three families, armadillos, ant eaters, and sloths.
 Some of these animals are toothiess and others are nearly so. All of them live in warm climates, and hardshell the ar madillo is the only one found in North America. The nine-banded armadillo Is found all the way from southern Texas and Arizona through Mexico and Central
 America, down to Venezuela, South America.
 Slow Poke the box turtle, as you know,
 carries his house with him. and in time of danger can pull himself into it and close the doors. Hardshell the armadfllo, instead of having a house into which to retreat wears suit of armor. Even the top of his head and his tail are pro- tected in this way. Underneath he has no protection. In this respect he is like prickly perky the porcupine, and like prickly perky, he can roll himself up so that he is wholly protected. The armor on the back of armadillo the hardshell is in bands and is jointed
 Hardshell is an exceedingly timid fel- low and is not seen abroad during the daytime very much. He prefers the
 night. His legs are short, but for d short distance he can run very fast. He

Nothing But Optimism
 at This Convention
National Advertisers Believe That Expanding Markets Will Keep
 Factories Busy

The most reassuring and convincing statements yet made, regarding business conditions and possibilities that will arise during the period of readjustment now l under way, have come from the sessions of the Association of National Advertise CTS, Inc, recently held in New York. Members of the association attending the ninth annual convention" says A. l.. Tisch, advertising manager of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company, who was present at the meeting, represented not only the more important makers of au- tomobiles, but the furniture, hardware, food and many other industries as well.
 The total expenditure of these companies for advertising exceeds S10O,O0O,OO0 year. Representing such wide variety or
 interests and such a large proportion Of
 the industrial and business life of the country, the opinions of these men were naturally of special significance. The spirit of confidence and optimism that
 prevailed and which was the marked characteristic of the convention must nec-
 essarily reflect the true state of the coun- try as a whole The sum and substance of the matter was that this country will shortly enter upon period of the larg- est sales in our industrial history.
 "One reason for this optimism is the conviction that foreign markets, long closed are now opening and must be supplied Reconstruction work will make heavy demands. The export business is bound to grow very quickly to large pro- portions.
 ITO the expanding markets abroad will be added the expanding domestic mar ket, which has been denied it's normal supplies during the war. Business Will be eager to get back to it's old occupa- tons and make up for lost time
 ,lts slew 0t these facts the deleCates could see only plenty of need for all the extra manufacturing facilities developed by the war and these facilities will prove of special value to the makers of auto mobiles There will be no greater facili- ties for production than the worlds mar kets will need and supply will have diff ficulty for sometime to come in keeping up with the demand"

ALL AMERICANS IN
 MOHAWK FACTORY
Every Man Gives to War Funds With
 Average of $25.S0

Throughout the various departments of the Mohawk factory the visitor may note the many large American flags, and his interest is further aroused when he learns that all these flags were purchased by voluntary subscriptions of the employees themselves. That they may be under the constant influence of "Old Glory," these flags were hung in every department. .
 The men of the Mohawk factory made their factory conspicuous in the third Liberty Loan drive by the fact that every employe purchased at least one Liberty Bond
 Then when the war chest came along with its call for gifts to the Young Mems Christian association, the Red Cross and the various other forms of war relief, Mohawk men were as ready to give as they were to invest. Every employe gave, and gave freely. The average contribu- ton was $25.S0 per man.
