In ringing tones. the head of Great
I Britain's greatest women's army to-
day sent this message to her sisters
across the sea in America.
I She is Mrs. f. H Leach, executive
head and associate OF Queen Mary in
the direction Of that great army of
10000 English girl ''waacs," 1000 of
whom at this moment are Drawing war
zone perils In France to relieve SOL
diers from routine duty for service
in the trenches,
In an interview three weeks ago,
Mrs. Leach offered 10 go to America
and help organize this great army OF
women. Today she elaborated on this
plan
England has poured forth, not only
the flower OF her manhood. but her
girls and women as well. The 'Waacs"
(womens Army Auxiliary corps)
alone has 1000 girls In France, acting
as officers orderlies. driving army
motor lorries. cooking and some even
taking care OF the small wooden cross
graves OF our heroes who died on the
battlefield Over $4,000 Waacs are en-
gagged in equally as important national
service here in England, This does
not include the tens of thousands OF
girls and women In the volunteer aid
detachment, women's royal naval ser
vice. land army and number OF other
women's organizations.
Now Great Britain has a wonder
fully efficient army of women. each
one of which is lending first-hand ma
terial aid in the strife to wipe out
kultur. But it took years of the war
and many mistakes at first to make
this army
America must profit by the mis-
takes of England. l understand from
authoritative sources tentative plans
are under way now in America for the
organization of great women's army
for war work in the United States.
I'm willing to give up my work for
several weeks and go to America to
help organize this army.
The crying, need of Great Britain's
Waacs now is more recruits. What
a blessing It would be II there were
sufficient transports to bring Ameri-
can girls and women over here for
this service, especially among their
own troops in France. But this Is i'm
possible now owing to the lack of
ships. and for tho present the women
will have to confine their war work
to the United States, where there is
opportunity for great work among the
camps and transport stations. etc"
More than 100 British Waacs are
now ready for service with the
American army IN France, This is
tho irst contingent of a great num-
Der of waacs that will be sent to the
American front to relieve the Ameri-
can. soldiers from duties as orderlies.
chauffeurs, etc.. for service in the
trenches.

GAS PRAIRIE DOGS

SANTA FEE, N. M., June D. Prairie dogs are being gassed with heavier than air gas to kill them when poison grain fails to dispose of these pests of the southwestern farmers. Oats are soaked in poison and placed near the prairie dog villages.
 The animals prefer the oats to any other kind of food and as high as 9S per cent of the inmates of a prairie dog village are killed in this way If the poison is not washed off by rains which fall after the grain is spread. When this method of killing the pests fails the use of poison gas is found necessary and the prairie dog holes and underground passages filled with the gas. This kills all who were nov killed with the poison grain.
 This extermination work is being done under the direction of the Cnitea States biological survey.

The best way to handle this job is to put the bands in the wise while you cut the rivets, though it may be done on the bench if you have someone to hold the work steady. If your new lining is not cut to the proper length measure the band upon which it is to go and allow half an inch over. Next comes the cutting of holes in the lin- ing exactly opposite the holes that are found in the band. The best way to gauge the places for the holes is to lay the lining on the band and mark the holes with soft pencil, blue for choice. It is possible also to drill the holes while the lining is on the band. After marking, harness punch' is the best tool to use for making rivet holes, which must be perfectly clean cut. All holes must be countersunk.
 Now place the lining in place or the band and clamp it, after it has been ascertained that the holes regis 1 ter. The rivets. one by one, arc placed in the holes and the head ol the one being operated on is pushed down under the countersink. Tht other end of the rivet is riveted bI

If the lining tends to drag, that is, touch the drum when the brakes are not applied, a screw driver inserted all around between lining and drum will usually remedy the trouble. To find, out whether there is drag in the brakes, the rear wheel should be re- volved, while someone listens for hissing or seraping sound.

sured that the situation will be dealt
with justly at the final reckoning at
the end of the war"

ANNIE LOWRY AGAIN
NOTORIOUS Ex-NUN LOSES SUIT
AGAINST X. OF p.

Annie Lowry, the noted ex-nun and
anti Catholic lecturer, lost her suit
against the Grand Lodge of K. of P.
of Indiana in Judge Eubank's court
in Indianapolis.
The woman advertised an anti
Catholic lecture in the K. of P. hall
in that city in April, 1917. The Gus
todian of the hall rented her the hall
without knowing the nature of the
lecture, but said he had to have the
approval of the board of trustees. The
woman deposited $25 on account of
the hall rent. In the meantime the
board discovered the nature of the
lecture and the record of the woman,
and refused to allow her to have the
hall as a consequence. The trustees
offered to give her back her money,
but she refused to take it and brought
suit for one thousand dollars damage.
Judge Eubank, in giving his deci-
sion for the defendants, said the
trustees had the right to rent the hall
and no one else and that they were
within their rights in refusing to rent
it for certain purposes.
