factory while in France. T have seen as many as 5000 women in one of these factories, frail girls many of them, yet carrying weights which only strong men should lift It was char acteristic of the nation that every woman was tidy with her hair neatly dressed for such is their state of civi- lization.
 T do not think anyone will ever term the French woman frivilous as they have in the past" said she. They surely have proved their worth. I saw woman moving in the field and when a shell exploded not far distant she kept right on with her work-and she was not one of those accustomed to the field. That was just one of the many instances of occurances that are all too ordinary over there."
 Yet she says the women of Franco never shed tear. They smile as they labor for the country they love, for the men they love who are at the front and the men they have lost in the great cause.
 It is generally regretted that Mrs. Adams is not to deliver a lecture in this city as she is leaving on Monday for lecture tour of New Mexico, later going to. Oklahoma, Nevada, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota.
 She was the first woman to be ho0. ored with fellowship by the Royal Geographic society of England; one of the two women members of the Society of Arts and Royal Science of Cadiz, Spain, author of "Women of France" said to be the greatest story of the womanS side of the war yet written,

NOTED WRITER HEREFROMWAR
 FRONT VISITING

A plea for sentiment, an urgent request for every woman to act as a crusader and make a convert eacn day for a united nation-this is the work for women of America, says Harriet Chalmers Adams, who has the distinction of being the first woman granted a war correspondent permit and to have been in the trenches.
 The distinguished explorer, writer and lecturer, in Phoenix for a few days, yesterday told her experiences at the front. Incidentally, she told what could be done by the women of this country in observance of conservation laws. Red Cross activ- ities and, above all, in "the recovery of the ideals of which the nation is founded and unite a united nation"
 She believes that America will find it's soul through this war-the soul it lost by lack of unity and selfish ness of its people.
 A charming woman, gracious in manner and exceptionally attractive, she has not the appearance of a woman who has known hardship, and yet she has gone through many har- rowing experiences to return home and do her bit for the cause of humanity.
 Life is such @ transient thing" she says as she speaks of the fight ing men across the sea, many of whom will not return. T envy them for the opportunity they have for aiding in making better, finer world for the generation coming. 1 haven't a one to give, so I feel l must work doubly hard in not be- ing able to give a life in the great Service.''
 Mrs. Adams has cancelled all her contracts to write in order that she might lecture throughout the coun- try, telling the people, what the war is about" Before delivering the present course of lectures she gave illustrated talks for the benefit oI the American fund for the French wounded. This was before the United States entered the war. All this patriotic service and that which she is now performing is without compensation. Noting the lethargy which threatened America, she de- cided to visit the various states and endeavor to disseminate the disin- terest and complacency which periled the natlOn at IHe outset or Amer ica's participation.
 She speaks of France, always. O1 the wonderful united people of the ''inyalided nation The spirit of its women, burdened beyond endurance who never utter complaint. It is story of horror and suffering she tells, but it is also a story of g magnificent people who have not fal- tered in solitary respect.

TETHELIN USED IN
 HEALING WOUNDS
GiterarY Digestl

A substance resembling Mir. Wells's mythical food of the gods" in that it can be used to control the growth of bodily tissue has been discovered by Dr. T. Brailsford Robertson, professor of biochemistry and pharmacology in the University of California. It is used in such cases for scientific men to make a free gift of the discovery to their fellow investigators. Dr. Robert son has acted differently, but with the same object-the advancement of re- search and the good of the public. He has patented his growth h-controlling substance, which he calls "tethelin", and has assigned the patent rights to the university, all profits to be applied to an endowment for medical research.
 Tethelin is isolated from one of the lobes of the pituitary body-a small gland attached to the base of the brain and long believed by physiologists to have as its function the regulation of nutrition. The new substance has been found to hasten the healing of obsti- nate wounds, and hence Dr. Robert sons discovery, besides it's importance to theory, is of immediate practical value. Says writer of science:
 While several new substances and new methods found by medical investi- gators since the war began have proved extremely useful in combating infec- tions in wounds, tetheiin mas a field of usefulness all its own-after other methods have rendered the tissues aseptic and wounds sometimes refuse to heal, especially where frostbite. burns or varicose veins have injured the vitality of the tissues. There are thou- sands of such cases in Europe today, and they occupy the hospitals for an exceptionally long time, consuming drugs, time, space and food, and fre- quently such cases have to be dis
 charged unhealed. It is precisely these cases-the most expensive and most disabling type of woun@s-which tethe- lin aids, since it stimulates the slug gish tissues and enable nature to work it's own repair.

New Justice of Peace
Builds O. Courthouse

Lancaster, Pa. Feb. 25.-Probably
the most pretentious office of jus
tice of the peace i'm Pennsylvania is
that of Frank McCGann, who has just
conducted his first case as magistrate
of Mannheim township. McGrann is a
very wealthy farmer and poultryman
and devoted much of his time. to
helping tho authorities run down
criminals. For several years he had
a station for the state police on his
premises. He is president of the
Lancaster County Humane Society
and has rounded up scores Of per-
sons on cruelty charges.
A year ago McGrann was chosen
Justice of the peace of his township
and he proceeded to erect a minia-
ture courthouse on a portion of his
property. 1t is of the bungalow
style, 42x1S feet. 1t is finished in
hardwood, lighted by electricity
heated by steam, with a big open
hearth. There is also a cooling sys-
tenn for warm weather. There is
private telephone exchange, while
the judicial furniture would be suit
able for n county courthouse.
Large bookcases contain rows of
legal volumes and there is q spe-
cially- built pen for the prisoners.
The justice celebrated the formal
opening of the courthouse by return
ing to court for trial Alfred and
Chester Green, mountaineers, who
were preying upon eastern Lancas-
ter county farms.
