MERELY QUESTION OF time
Men Knew Mule Would Do Its Part
If Blacksmith Would Keep
On Doing His.

The conversation at q social session
turned to the thoughtless regard that
some people have for their fellow men,
when the, following story was related
by Representative Charles P. Caldwell
of New York:
Recently a delegate from the rear
of the township appeared at the viii
lage blacksmith shop leading a mule
that didn't seem to be taking a very
optimistic view of life, and asked to
have the animal shOd.
whats the matter with the shoes
he's got on?" demanded the black
smith, cautiously examining the
mules feet. Il shod him only yester-
day afternoon, and they look all right
to me-"
"Never mind how they look, Jim,' -
returned the owner Of the mule. "Jes'
you 60 ahead and shoe him ag'in. Me
an Jake Hawkins will pay the bill"
"Jake Hawkins" responded the
blacksmith, wonderingly. "What has
Jake got to do with it?'
"A whole lot" was the startling re-
joinder of the owner. "We're bettin'
on how many times you can shoe that
mule before going through the roof of
the blacksmith shop and out among
the airships." -Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph.

Camouflaue.

The war is bringing about many
changes in the English language and
when the conflict is ended there will be
many new words in the dictionary. AS
usual, children are not slow to pick up
the new phrases, especially the slang
expressions.
A man and his son were walking in
washington street when they passed a
man with toy balloons.

A Y. NJ. G. A. secretary with the ex-

From the Red Cross Bulletin, issued
at Washington, D. c., July s, 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
a result Of 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
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
ASA WV iCeAS uC 1uOIOI NO1 pS VI AIldutd,
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
were 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

GeOrgette crepe and satin have
r1valed 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. It is one of the new eyo-
lut1ons that have come along in the
train of slip-over garments.
There are several features in this
new model that will commend it to
the woman who has present need of
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
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 f1aring 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 choice for a gown thai
is to do duty for evening wear. The
narrow sash is Of black satin an(
loops over at the back, weighted q

Exercising Stiff Joints.

One of the problems military doc
tors have had to face was that when
a man recovered from a wound it left
him with stiff joints. To overcome
this series of simple exercises have
been evolved. Men with stiff knees
walk up an inclined board, keeping
one foot on the ground; stiff Shout
ders are overcome by climbing lad
ders; impaired wrists and fingers by
turning wooden rollers from which
cords are suspended; the man who
must be re-taught to walk is put
through his PAGES by the employment
OF pigeon hole" frame, which COM
pels him to place his feet properly.

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, impor-
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 WORT 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 of
khaki and the insignia formerly en-
| 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 q gilt diamond
Pearl gray tabs on the collar will in
dictate staff officers. Service stripes
will be worn on the sleeves.
The cars of the service are to be
distinguished by a white metal pen
nant, bearing the red cross and the
wordss Motor Corps" This and the
drivers Identification card will be
sufficient to give the cars the right of
way when on official business.

VOTING BY Soldiers.

The war department decided that
so far as soldiers are stationed within
the borders of the United States their
votes at either primary or general
election may be taken by the several
state governments without serious in
reference with military operations. AS
to soldiers in France or in other for
efgn soil in the theater of war the de-
partment decides that their vote cam
not be taken without serious interfer-
ence with the military efficiency.
