In the issue of the Central Division
Bulletin of the American Red Cross of
August % the following article ap-
pears:
Women Of Cheerful Disposition for
Hospital Hut Service Abroad.
Several hundred American women,
whose dispositions are of the cheerful
variety, are wanted for work in the
Red Cross hospital huts In France.
The Cheerful disposition" proposition
is an essential requisite, for the reason
that their duty will be to spread cheer
among the boys who are convalescing
after wounds received on the battle
field or from attacks of illness.
The bureau of personnel of the
American Red Cross already has en-
rolled $50 of these workers, while 443
is the number estimated as necessary
TO be supplied before the first of jan
uary, 1919. The Red Cross commits
sioner to France, In a cablegram call
ing for these hospital hut workers,
specifying some of the qualifications
required, suggested that the women
chosen should be those who are keen
on entertainment. Lots of music, read
ing aloud, and all that sort of thing
help to make the recovery Of wounded
and sick soldier boys much quicker
than otherwise would be the case.
Everything that keeps up spirits and
turns thoughts in n channel that pre-
vents one of the bitterest of all all
observation-disclosures a godsend.
The American Red Cross intends
that there shall be no lack of enter
tainment and good cheer lover there"
and it is particularly desired therefore
that the call for hospital hut workers
be complied with according to sched-
ule. Those who volunteer for this
service will be expected to remain
abroad for at least a year..
1t Is desirable that applicants be
able to pay their own expenses, but in
cases of exceptional qualifications the
Red Cross will pay living expenses In
France. Transportation to and from
France will be furnished by the Red
Cross.
There should be no mistaken notion
that this hospital hut service is easy

INTRICATE WEAPON

Back of the torpedo is its fsh-shaped body, con-
tanning all the machinery to drive and steer after
1t has been launched. From forward aft we IND
compartments as follows: A compressed air res
ervoir, an immersion or balance chamber, engine
space and q %buoyancy chamber. The tiny engine
is driven by compressed air, which is compressed
to a high degree, and 1t rOtates the propellers
whereby the projectile is carried through the
water. The immersion or balance chamber pro-
vides the means of maintaining the depth at which
the torpedo shall travel through the water after
being, launched. In the engine chamber there Is
also the device for keeping the p~rojectile to its
designated path during its travel. This is
achieved by means of a gyroscope. The b~uOyancy
chamber, which is placed aft of the engine cham
Der. is virtually a vacuum. Without this cham
Der the torpedo would sink. The propellers and
rudders are astern and outside the torpedo's body.

Braid Much Used.

Braid is going to be very much used
this autumn. There is a real wartime
reason for this, as braid Is something
that covereth a multitude of sins and
makes quick work of giving a smart
and neat finish to all sorts of tailored
frocks, coats and suits. There is a
kind of double, folded braid that may
easily be applied to the edge of
sleeves, tunics or skirts, giving them
a complete finish with the minimum of
work. The home dressmaker will do
well to make use of this new vogue
for braid. OF course, braid is not al
ways used as a labor-saving device,
for in many of the new and smart
suits q very elaborate system of braid
trimming is carried out, often more
than n sort of braid being combined
In one design.

~Interest in PIaids.

Perhaps it Is through the influence
of the Scotch kilties, who have APP
peared at various times in our Ameri-
can cities to remind us that the kins-
men of Bruce and Wallace are among
our allies, that we have revived our
interest in plaids. Perhaps it is just
because bright colors are in vogue as
a co~unteractive against the grimness
of war, or perhaps it is just time that
plaids returned to vogue-they do
periodically, do they not? At any rate.
some of the most interesting of the
new separate skirts are made from
Scotch plaid and some Of these skirts
are made in pleated designs to carry
out the idea of the highlander.

work, for 1t surely is not. Emergen-
cies may arise which will make it
necessary to call upon the workers for
duties not on the program; for 1t is
now an established rule of the Red
Cross that all those accepting service
abroad must hold themselves in readi-
ness to accept any duty which is as
signed to them. Only those who have
strong constitutions, and do not tire
easily-and who still possess that
never-to-be-forgotten cheerful dispo-
sition"-are fitted for enrolment in
the hospital hut service. Application
should be made to the Bureau of Per-
sonnet, Central Division, $50 North

GREAT PLAY NEVER PRODUCED.

Gen. Lew Wallace wrote a tragedy entitled
"Commodus," which was founded on the story
of Maternus, an escaped slave, who rebelled
against his country, placed himself at the head
Of n band of outlaws, planned the capture of
Rome and his own elevation to the throne, but
was finally betrayed and killed. 1t was never
produced. but Lawrence Barrett, to whom 1t was
submitted, wrote General Wallace that it was the
best play since "Richelieu," and that both as a
poem and as an acting play m is the
best English drama" 1t was printed, but never
staged.-Boston Globe.

ing ooze, looking for all the world like a bit of
wreckage itself. But it had just finished a long
bout of pumping under water in that hold, which
was filled with floating barrels, beams, tangled
lronwork and a sludge that was indescribable;
and4when it had been put over the side and had
pumped a few tons of clean sea water through
ltself, that pump was ready to start work again
anywhere
Inc secret of the pump is that it is not water
ught-which sounds absurd. 1t is. however, per-
Iectiy true that the water can flow In and
around the whole of the works of the pump while
1t Is at work. No one has ever hitherto succeed
ed In making electricity work under water in
this way; but the uses of the discovery are plain
even to the layman. A ship fitted with these
pumps, for example, ought never to sink, If she
be set to work in the flooded compartments and
pump the water out as fast as it comes In. Dam
age to the engine rooms does not affect the
pumps, because they do not rely for their cur-
rent on the ships dynamos, but on their own
portable outfit.
Salvage experts tell one rather amusing tale
of the versatility of the pumps. A fire broke out
In the hold Of a ship that was carrying a very
valuable in1ammable cargo. Two submersible
pumps were on board, and the captain slung
them over the side into the sea, attached a good
length of hose to them and set them going to
pump water at the rate Of about 800 tons an
hour each into the burning hold. They soon put
the fire out, and the captain then lowered the
pumps into the hold and made them pump out
the water they had previously pumped in.

Many women have become addicted
to the pajama habit, and pajamas are
beginning to crowd n~ightdresses in
the good graces of the ~up-to-date young
woman. Already manufacturers are
turning out a variety of them in cot
ton and in silk fabrics. They are
made in two pieces with more or less
fancy coats and jackets and in the
plain original model borrowed from
the masculine garment. But the tend
ency is away from the sever type to
the more feminine and frivolous styles.
In the picture a one-piece model of
fl~esh-colored wash satin is shown. 1t
appeared at the Style Show recently
held at Chicago, and It's lure caused
many a good dollar to pass from buy
ers of apparel to the manufacturer of
this particular garment. These buyers
know its lure will coax more dollars
out of the purses of dainty and luxury
loving women.
Wash satin lingerie seems an ex-
travagance, but in the long run it can
not be considered SO. The satin
proves to be very durable and the ma
ture of this material precludes the use
Of a lot of fragile but useless trim
mings. Hemstitching, fine tucks,
French knots, and durable lace edg-
ings prove the best choice for trim
ming satin lingerie, and they last as
long as the things they decorate.
The pajamas pictured are cut with
a kimono body Joined to very full PAN
falcons held by a fiat elastic band to

Summer Smock,

1t would be impossible to create a
more artistic garment for summer
wear than the smock. Young girls and
slender women find it exceptionally
becoming. The loose and straight but
pliable lines of the smock conceal and
even beautlfy defects, Stimulating a
pleasant %roundness of figure. The ma
terials used for them range from cal
leo to georgette crepe. One very prac-
teal smock is very much like a large
allover apron, for 1t buttons on the
shoulders, is very long and shows
huge pockets capable of holding any
necessary articles, from knitting to
farming indictments.

the figure at the waistline. The band
is RIM in a casing sewed to the inside
of the garment. There is a wide
turned-back collar edged with a sub
stantial lace, which also finishes the
short sleeves. At the ankle the pam
falcons are gathered in by an elastic
band, and a frill of lace falls about
the foot, for no reason but to look
lovely. 1t accomplishes its commend
able purpose.

Fire at sea, collision, weather and other marine
risks are all dealt with by the admiralty salvage
section just as much as war risks such as min
risks that provide the bulk of the cases. The
work of the section falls really into three parts.
There. are, first of all, the rescue tugs. These
proceed to any ship that is in distress, whatever
the cause, and endeavor to tow her into port,
or at least to get her into shallow water, where
she can go aground or even sink and still be
salvable. In the latter case the second part or
the sections work begins-the patching up, emp
tying and lifting. This may take anything from
six weeks to six months. When she is lifted and
afioat again she is towed to the nearest sheltered
anchorage, and there temporary repairs are eff
fected, she is cleaned up inside and her engine
room restored to something like order. 1t Is
the aim, as far as possible, to enable her to
proceed to a shipyard under her own steam.
There are cases, of course, where the torpedo or
the mine has exploded just by the engine-room
and blown everything to fragments. Then the
hull, patched up, has to be towed to the repair
ing yard; but in the majority of cases the dam
age is in the bows or In the stern, and the vessel
can limp along by herself after first aid from the
salvage section.
salving any of the ships that are down In deep
water. The physical limitations of divers alone
would make 1t an impossibility to raise, for ex-
ample, the Lusitania, and, so far, no mechanical
devices that have been suggested or made hold
out any hope Of doing the work Of the diver with
any success.

to see. The parade was led by Mayor

so represented by a very attractive
float and many of the business men
had their machines in line attractive
ly decorated.

Offered.

II was not expected that ther would
be much of an offering of stock or

yesterday but it was expected that
there would be several sheep.
Contrary to expectations the stock
yards were we'll filled with cattle and
the trading ring was filed with horses
of all sorts mostly trading plugs.
There was also quite a number of
colts and young mules noticed on the
market and these animals changing
hands are said to have brought very
good prices.
Although there was quite lot OF
cattle in the pens there was little
dealing in this class of stock, the most
of the interest in this sale being taken
in the trading ring where many
horses are said to have been changed
at very good prices.

CITY SCHOOLS
OPEN SESSION
This MORNING
Children Report at Their Schools This
Morning For Instruction and List
Of BOoks-Real Work Begins
Tomorrow.

The 191S-19 session of the Mays
cille Public Schools will open this
morning at the various school build
ings in the city and while there will
be little actual work done today in
the schools all students will be re-
quired to be in attendance so that
they may matriculate and secure the
list of the books they will be required
to procure for the seasons work.
Everything is in readiness for
schools to open. Superintendent Cap
linger has given out all of the neces-
sary information for the parents of
the school children to get them ready
for the years work. The Board of
Education has procured all of the ne
cessary instructors and the term is
opening with prospects for a very
successful year.
The new government draft of men
from 18 to As will have little effect
on the Maysville School it Is said
while it may call some of the boys in
High School yet under the laws pro-
visions it is thought this will little
interfere with their school work.
The colored schools of the city open
today as we'll as the white schools and
1t must be remembered that the Board
of Education has done away with the
Sixth Ward Colored School and all
colored students in all parts of the
city will be required to attend the col
ored High School where the grades
will be taught as we'll.
1t is understood that there will be
about as many students as usual en-
listed from out of the city. A number
of students from the county and from
nearby counties in the state of OHIO
have signified their intention of at
tending school in Maysville this year
and will be listed this morning.
The reputation of the Maysville
schools has been kept up and will be
kept up during this term. Our schoolG
are still rated as among the best in
the entire state of Kentucky and many
people are being attracted to Mays
vile because of the educational facili-
ties.
