north Of Rheims. s'-
A third line of defense runs from
the Scarpe river south of Lille, to
the Meuse near Sedan, then south
eastward to the iron region Of the
basin Of Briey, which it protects from
the west and the south, and joining
the second line at Moselle. There are
secondary defense works to this line
also in the region of Vervirs.
A fourth. line as yet uncompleted is
intended to furnish further defense
between the Escaut near the Belgian
frontier and the Mouse at Givet.
Each one of these lines furnishes a
strong refuge for armies obliged to
retire upon it. The lines also offer
to forces dwindling in plumbers the
advantage Of progressively shorten
ing the battle front.
The first of the lines already has
been broken between Queant and
Drocourt. The development of this
success may determine the question
whether the Germans can compel the
Allies to revert to trench warfare.
The enemy second lines of defense
almost touch the Hindenburg line at
Cambria just below the breach the
British forces have made in it. If
they are able to join the two lines
there the Germans will still have an
uninterrupted defensive position in
which the second line enters for only
the distance from Lille to Cambria.

true, as a published report states,

France, Sept. 10 6 p. m.)At $50
o'clock this morning the Germans
began heavy artillery action on the
American front lines in the Vosges
region, sending over some 200 pro-
jectiles from their mine throwers and
thousand heavy caliber shells. At
500 o'clock the enemy opened up a
strong fire on the communication
trenches. Reports. from two ohser-
walton stations were that go Germans

over last winters frocks?
Do you ask for reference as to
her moral character or do you Just
ring her up on the phone and say:
Are you the woman who made
over Mrs. Browns green dress?
If you are what days this week
can you come to me?"
When you engage a cook do
you cross-question her about her
personal affairs? Or do You just
try. to find out whether she knows
how to broiI a steak and what to
do to get roast on the table at
the right time?
What you want is someone to
do the work you are going TO pay
them to do, and not someone to
set an example in morals.
When a man employs a woman
10 work in his store or his shop
or his office he is little concerned
as TO what her morals are, have
been or will be-so long as they
don't interfere with the work he
pays her to do.
As a matter of fact, no practical
business man is much concerned
except for the fact that the aver
age business man has probably
discovered in the way Of business
experience that woman en-
crossed in her own personal az
fairs isn't likely to be a woman
who will do his work we'll.

Punishment Is Sure to Err

By Winifred Black

A GIRL who is out OF a job
~ came to see me yesterday.
Just as she was leaving the
house the postman came. He
brought me a letter from another
girI-a girl who hasn't always been
Just what she should be. She was
out of a job too.
The first girl told me that the
reason she couldn't keep position
is because she is too good.
= This is the third place I've
lost" said the first girl because
! wouldn't go out to luncheon with
the boss.
The one before that | lost be-
cause ] wouldn't go out joy riding

Just before that / left good place

vate office and let the manager

how little his wife understood him.

Il can't give a reference, and
there must be something about my

The young mans position is
this:
He is starting out in life. He Is
earning, say fifteen dollars a week.
OF this he pays eight for his room
and board and two dollars more
for carfare and laundry expenses.
That leaves him five dollars for
clothes, luncheons and such neces-
sary incidentals a doctors and
dentists bills. These expenses
are inevitable. He must meet
them first. OF his fifteen dollars
a week he has very little for
amusements and for the entertain
ment Of his friends.
Now, the entertainment Of his
friends, in moderation, is a lepiti-
mate and a necessary expense.
1t should have its place in his
budget, and II does. The mistake
he makes is the position he gives
Il.
He puts it toward the head of
the list. II should go toward the
end. He should do his entertain
ing after he has paid all his regu-
lar and inevitable living expenses.
One of the wisest bows / know
has what he calls A Fun Fund.
He keeps a little bank, into which
he drops his superiuous dimes and
quarters. These are not numer-
Gus. II takes long time for them
TO amount to five dollars. When
they do. he takes them out of the
bank, credits himself with five dol
lars for entertainment, and draws
on that little fund until it is ex-
hausted.
Sometimes it lasts a month. He
goes In for the simple pleasures,
such as car and bus rides and an
occasional twenty-five-cent boat
trip.
Won't Break Rule.
Sometimes, to quote his own
words, he blows" most OF II in
one festive evening at the theater.
In any event, when it is gone, he
entertains no more until he has
saved another five dollars. He
simply sinks below the surface. 5"
to quote him again, and fiocks by
himself until he is once more sup
piled with a FUN fund"
OF course" he added, there
aren't many girls | know well
enough to tell that to. But my
cousin and one other friend knew
about 1t. and I've got a standing
invitation to spend the evenings
with them when I'm strapped. II
! do that. they're the first girls
entertain when the frye dollar
fund looms up again."
Don't you ever break the rule ?"
asked, with deep interest. Il
mean, don't you ever, in emer-
gencies. break into the bank be-
tween times. or borrow from your
other funds" He shook, his head.

TsIand avenue and North Capitol
street about Sis each morning. This
morning the car 1 caught was in
charge Of an inspector. who acted as
motorman from the pit at W street
TO Fifteenth and G streets. he having
taken the car in charge after the con.
ductor had appealed to him, the con.
ductor being afraid that loss OF life
might result IL the motorman who had
car in charge to the pit was left In
charge.
From remarks l heard the conduc-
tor make and from information I Sc
cured from passengers. the motorman
did not even slow up for the curve at
North Capitol street and Michigan
avenue. and scattered passengers all
over the car. Fortunately. the car
did not leave the rails He also ran
by the pit where car is changed from
overhead to pillow. 1t was there the
conductor appealed to the inspector
stationed at the pit.
The conductor said the motorman
had never tried to run a street car be-
fore. and had been sent out this morn
ing with no preliminary instructions
lie knew nothing whatever about
operating cars
The car was one of those with long
seats on either side, with passenger
