New York.-This story is told Of an
American aviator, whose machine had
been forced to land within the Ger
man lines and who was taken prisoner,
but returned few days afterward to
American headquarters, safe and
sound, in his own machine:
After his capture he was taken be-
fore the commanding officer, who In
formed him that they were DESTROYS
of obtaining certain information re-
gardlng the allies forces and had de-
cided to send him up in his own ma
chine accompanied by a German Off
Ger, who would shoot him instantly If
he deviated from orders. Accordingly,
he took his machine up, his German
companion sitting beside him with q
drawn revolver at his ribs.
While In the air he began to ruml.

efficiency" for, as he said, II had, of
course, determined that the German

GeOrgette crepe and satin have
hvaled one another In afternoon
gowns during tAe present summer,
with georgette thu 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 coiored georgette and black satin
are frightened with a beaded passe-
menterie. 1t Is one of the new evo-
lutions that have come along In the
train of sllp-over garments.
There are several features in this
new model that will commend 1t to
the woman who has present need of a
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 1t must take the
place of evening gowns. To begin with
the most essential Of all things, this
particular model has beautiful lines.
It 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 ls attached with hem
stitching. The lower part of the
long flaring 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 black scroll de-
sign in it. but plain fOulard or taffeta
Is as good a choice for a gown that

The soldier followed discipline again

From the Red Cross Bulletin, issued
at Washington, d. c., July 8, 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
q result of conference recently held
10 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
It's organization, was amalgamated
with the Red Cross corps. This makes
the Red Cross motor corps service a
thoroughly co-OrdInated institution,
able to meet the local and lnter-local
demands for transportation through
out the length and breadth Of the land
on a nationaIized basis.
The organizations which have be-
come parts of the Red Cross motor
corps service are the motor messenger
service of Philadelphia, the National
Service league motor corps of Atlanta,
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
titles. The four independent services

WAR CRIPPLES
WILL FIND JOBS

sands Of men who had lost limbs ID
the war, 1t would be impossible to gel
enough artificial substitutes unless
aliens were employed. To meet the
difficulty skilled limbs committee oil
physicists, engineers and surgeons was
formed, which had directed the produe
tlon Of limbs by wood caryers, pattern
makers and mechanics In shipbullding
yards and engineering shops, and thus
they had been able, by employing
home industry alone, to supply arti-
fetal limbs in sufficient quantities and
quality to satisfy requirements.
Methods Of Treatment.
Prof. V. Putt of Bologna dealt with
the surgical treatment pertaining to
amputations. He described the meth
DDS of Or. Giuliano Vanghetti, who
first conceived the Idea and the means
of drawing living energies from the
stump Of an amputatedl limb and trans
hitting voluntary movements to an
artificial member. It Is COW possible
for a man who has lost both hands to
use a knife and fork at table, dress
himself and even shave with a safety
razor. This miracle is due to the treat
ment known as Generalization, and the
perfection to which artificial limbs
have been brought.
In order to obtain this voluntary
movement the muscles are allowed to
overlap the bone Of the stump and are
so arranged as to give two protuber-
ances similar In shape and size to two
small fingers. The muscles are so ar
ranged as to give alternately the flex-
ion and extension movements and
where that cannot be obtained a rotary
movement can be given. In this way
artificial limbs, instead of being mere
ly supports for the stumps, can them
selves be manipulated.
In another department a meat safe
of which one workshop has sent $50
to France-can be seen, and a touch
ing side Of this exhibit was d tray of
things for one-armed men-jlgs of this
and that sort to enable one-armed men
to cut wood and wire, and to polish
frames, rulers for one-armed clerks,
billiard rests for the one-armed player.
etc.
The wage question has been a seri-
GUS problem, but the difficulties have
been largely solved. Up to the present
very few of the trained men trans
ferred to employment have failed to
obtain wages Of $40 and over per week.
1t is hoped that with the extension of
the work Of the department exchanges
working under the ministry of labor
the employer who considers that a
mans pension is an opportunity to cut
wages will find himself badly left.

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,
ICED so that those not enthusiastically
sincere in their work 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 em-
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 shoul1
der straps. Captains will wear two
silver diamonds, first lieutenants one,
and second lieutenants a gilt diamond,
Pearl gray tabs on the collar will in4
dictate staff officers. Service stripes
Will be worn on the sleeves.
The cars Of the service are to be-
distinguished by white metal PEN
nant, bearing the red cross and the
words motor Corps" This and the
drivers Identification card will be
sufficient to give the cars the right Of
way when on official business.

Plan for Aiding Blind.
Sir Arthur Pearson described the
methods In use at st, Dunstan's for
the treatment, training and re-educa-
ton of blinded soldiers. He said that
the actual re-education and training
was divided into two sections, the
classroom and the workshop, the mems
working day being divided between the
two.
Typewrlting was taught In the class
room, while In the workshops the
largest number Of men were learning
cobbling. Some men learned mat max
ing only. Basket making, the oldest of
the staple industries for the blind, was
taught in many varieties. The other
industry taught in the workshops was
ioinery. The men of st. Dunstan's ac-
CURED these industries in quarter Of
the time usually supposed to be neces-
sary to teach a blinded man trade.
Shorthand writing, by the aid Of ma
chine which enabled the BraiIle char

taught, as was telephone operating.
