The garments made must above all else be durable. It Is useless 10 seno over articles made from flimsy mate rials that cannot stand the very nara wear they will get. For this reason we are not asking for secondhand clothing. Partially worn garments should be kept for the poor in this country and we should send abroad only things made of new strong ma tertals.
 Materials for outer. garments should he of dark colors. They may be fig ured. striped or plain colors. prefer ably black, gray or navy olue-ne'ef red and very little green. The frencn people have a disiike of bright coiors in clothing. and at this time. when every family is in mourning. tney seem particularly inappropriate. Even the clothing for the little children should be dark, excepting. of course, that for the babies. It is almost im- possible to get laundry work done properly. There is no soap to be had. and little hot water. All these conai- tions must be considered in seisetlns the materials for the clothing.
 There is need for about twice as much underwear as outer garments, and this holds true in all ages. There ts a special need for clothing for the children from to 8 years of age.

GREATEST HERO OF WAR HAS BEEN
 EXPOSED AS THE GREATEST FAKIR

Paris, Aug. s-(Correspondence Of The Associated Press)-The heroic exploits and hair-breadth escapes of D'Artasnan as narrated by Dumas in "The Three Musketeers" fade Into comparative insIgniflcance when compared with the achievements Of Rene Bertrand as told by himself. Minus an arm and a leg with nine medals glittering on his breast, and asserting that his body bore moro than 30 bullet and bayonet wounds, Private Rene Bertrand of the French Colonial Infantry" posed in Paris as the greatest hero of the war.
 Now he has been arrested as per- haps one of the wars greatest fakirs and the police authorities declare that he lost his leg and arm in railway accident and that five imprisonments instead of five citations compose his record" It was the publication of .Bertrand's photograph in French newspaper that led to his undoing.
 Meantime, while revelling in the fruits of his own romance, Bertrand enjoyed the confidence of army off, cers and the credit of the leading Paris cafes One famous and fear less aviator made Private Bertrand his godson and adopted" him for the balance of the war
 The medals he wore included the Cross of the Legion of Honor, the mil itary medal, the war cross with seven palms and five stars, the British mili- tary cross, the Belgian war cross, the colonial medal, medal of Morocco, and the medal for saving life, and the medal for wounds. In addition he wore the "fouragere" of the Legion of Honor.
 Where he got them has not been disclosed, but to account for them Bertrand constructed a story of won- derful incidents. According to this tale he won the military medal by saving the lives of two officers and was himself wounded in the thigh when surrounded by natives while fighting with the French Territorial

ARMY AVIATORS TO MAKE FLYING TOUR
 AROUND COUNTRY

New York, Aug. 9-Twelve army av1ators left the Hampstead Plain fly- ing field yesterday for Dayton, Ohio, where on Aug. If they will start on the longest cross-country fling tour ever held in this country. The flight Will include most of the larger cities Tn the central states, and is intended Dy the War Department to show the people of the interior exactly the type or airplane and aviator that is being built up out of the gigantic sums ex- pended in that direction by the gov- ernment.
 The American flying force will be augmented by a detachment of Brit ish f1ters. Major c. K. Rhinehardt commandant of the MineoIa station. will be in charge of the four. which was arranged by the Division of Mill tary Aeronautics. The British ,ayiators will be commanded by Brig. Gen.

"All the explanations and com ments cannot alter the patent fact that in this double offensive the gain of ground. and consequently the only visible sign of success, is on the al- lied side" the newspaper says.
 While it is admitted that this vic- tory does not yet possess any decisive character, there is one result which cannot be called in questionable strong moral effect produced by the three German offensives against Amiens and Paris has been complete ly destroyed. The Allies today have chief whose name inspires confi- hence and whose ability is in no way inferior to that of Ludendorff or von Hindenburg. Furthermore, the only hope of the Germans to end the war in military way before the Amert- cans were in line has disappeared as the result of this last French of- fensive."

forces, In Morocco, in 1913.
 Then, according to his own story, Betrand won the war cross in patrol exploit in the present war, when, after his companions were killed he captured a whole German cooking outfit at Laon, having killed most of the cooks. Next, fighting with the British on the Somme he won the military cross by capturing 12 Ger mans single-handed. Meantime he had been captured five times by the Germans but always managed to es- cape.
 In the next chapter of his biogra- phy Bertrand appears in the fight around Monastir on the Macedonian front where he simultaneously oper= ated four machine guns and wrecked such an awful havoc with the enemy that their attack was beaten off. At the battle of Monastir he essayed to rescue an officer who lay wounded in No Mans Land and was himself wounded in the abdomen. Despite his pain he dragged the officer back to safety and went out again to rescue a wounded nurse. In the last trip his arm was shattered by bullet and later was amputated.
 Next we find Bertrand a passenger on board a ship bound for France. The torpedo which hit the vessel shattered one of Betrand's legs. Calmly amputating it with his knife Bertrand bound up the stump, dragged himself to the rail, threw himself overheard, paused long enough to res cue the captain and swam to a piece of driftwood where he lived for three days and three nights before being rescued by a Spanish vessel. For this Bertrand said he received the medal of the Legion of Honor.
 Numerous stars and leaves of palm1 that Bertrand wore upon his war cross had been acquired, according to his tale, by distinct acts of heroisn7 worthy of the coveted cross but the details of these incidents have not yet been given to the public.

Blades For Safety
 RaZOrs Are Scarce

Inquiries at the various drug stores handling safety razor blades, as well as hardware stores yesterday revealed the fact that there is to be a shortage of safety razor blades. Some of the dealers stock are entirely run out and some say they do not know when they will be able to obtain a stock of razor blades again.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-09

It is said that the government has arranged for the men in service to. buy $5 safety razors for $1.S5 and the $ varieties are at a big reduction as well. This fact that reduced rates have been given to men in service purchasing safetly razors has led to the shortage of the popular brands of blades.

formation is received. Mrs. Harrison is
hoping the man killed was other than
