1902. He could determine, within GER
tain bounds, the date of the typewrit-

BANK BOOK TO
Be GIVEN ALL
men IN FRANCE
Each American Would be
Able to Draw 81. so a Month
by New Ruling.
with the American Army in France

with the American Army in France,
June neutrality-suspicious. Of the
Associated Press.)-Every American
solder in France will receive 2 bank
book" enabling him to draw $3.50
month from any %disbursing oficer. II
the change in pay methods Of the.
American 'expeditionary force now
under consideration is put into effect.
The purpose Is to enable every soldier
to obtain promptly al least a part of
his monthly pay regardless Of where
he may be, whether in q hospital or
with some organization other than his
own.
The pay book system is in use in
the British army. The sum of $3.50
month has been fixed as the minimum
which a soldier should have for his
PERSONAL wants every month and it
would be given to him on his de-
mand.
Each three or four months there
would be a general accounting, af
which his total pay, his insurance and
subscriptions and other items would
be cast up, together with his monthly
drafts. The balance then due him
would be put at his disposal.
The soldier would have the ad-
vantage of being able at all times and
under all circumstances to draw
something FROM any quartermaster in
whose district he might find himself.
The proposed system would elimin-
ate the present necessity of having on
hand each soldiers service record
whenever he draws any money. The
service record system. designed for
times Of peace, does not take into ac-
count the frequent shifts which all
military men must be prepared for.
In many instances nowadays it works
hardships on individual men who are
transferred faster than their service
records a follow them and who con-
sequently cannot draw their money
when it is due, merely because the
formalities cannot be complied with.
The proposed new system appeals
as specially advantageous for camps
where there are constantly large num-
bers of ''casuals"-strays belonging to
dozens and scores Of organizations
waiting to join their outfits yet UNI
able to draw what money is due them
until the service records have caught
up to them.

The sleeveless coat has shown it's
superiority over every other summer
wrap. There is no other garment
which could make the sweater coat,
the favorite of SO many seasons, lose
its popularity. To be sure sweater
coats still exist in great numbers and
are as pretty as ever, but those which
have received the sanction and ap-
prevail of Dame Fashion are without
sleeves. And 81 it is that every WON
an who wished to be dressed in the
popular fashion has taken the sleeves
out of her silk sports coat of last a
son, or from her sports suit of her
linen smocks.
The coat pictured is made of wool
jersey. 1t is a dark forest-green
edged with black. The sash end are
fringed with black silk. Such a coat
is ideal for the cooler days of sum-
mer and early fall and. is most COT
rect for wear on the golf links, at the
country club or as a walking costume.
The hat pictured is a dark green taft
feta to match the coat and is an ex-
cellent shade hat.
