HARD TO KEEP
UP MORALE

Washington, Nov. 15.-Cessation Of
hostilities in Europe and disappearance
of prospects Of meeting the enemy on
the battle front has had quite an effect
on the morale of troops in this coun-
try. II, +
More serious are reports by some
commanders that their men are exhib-
iting a tendency to view themselves as
already released from the strict routine
Of the camps. Hundreds Of cases are
listed of men. who have been granted

Her bench mate. Miss Alma Kan

These women shipbuilders do not

Life Drama

La Crosse, Wis, Nov. 15.-Lying on
a bed from which she will never rise

and members of her family, Mrs.
Mary Valley Littel of Waseca, Mimi.
yesterday told between frequent long
pauses, caused by her weakened con-
dition. the story of how she took the
one day old baby of another woman
in La Crosse hospital, rearing him
to manhood at her own expense, never
revealing to the boy the identity of
his mother until the day after the
latter died here.
The boy in the case. known as
Francis D. Valley. an N-ray expert in
the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Mimi,
is now claiming in La Crosse county
probate court the $4,000 estate of
Mrs. Bertha James of La Crosse on
the ground that he is her only sor
and heir.
Suffering from a nervous ailment
which dated back to the time when as
a girl OF 10 she had an accident. Mrs.
Littel said that she went from her
home at Kenyon to st. Paul when Is

and came to this city. Miss Valley
spent her hours between treatments
visiting the sick in the hospital where
she was confined.
She found Bertha Strauss in a room
on the second floor. and won her con-
fidence. Sympathizing with Miss
Strauss. she promised that when the
baby was born would take it. The
child was born in 1893, Mrs. Littel tes-
titles. Miss Valley took the bahv to
st. Paul and left it at founding
home. Later she was induced to take
the baby to the home 'of her brother
in st. Paul. In the meantime she re-
sumed her duties Of teaching school
in a. small town near by.
She finally went with her brother

take to it that quickly. They believe
that any girl can learn the work and
do it as we'll us men. They get men S
wages.
This problem of women workers
wages after the war gets much thought
in the L. S. department of Labor. A
new idea has been advanced. That is
to pay women workers on the family
basis.
Miss Mary Van Klceck. chief of the
women in industry section of the de-
partment, says.
",rhc public has considered women's
wages on the basis Of the maintenance
of the individual woman. The Wom-
ans Trade Union league has gone on
record for the consideration of wom-
ems wages on the family basis. We
know that many women who work
have others dependent upon them, and
we should think now in terms of the
family"

Gas gangrene, almost unknown In

surgeon. 1t Is not due to poisonous
gas, but is an infection set up in
wounds by n bacterium, the bacillus
acrogenes capsulatus. Its presence Is
made known by a frothy, red discharge
and an unmistakable odor and bub-
bling. cracking sound when the
swollen flesh Is pressed. When these
conditions exist the surgeon knows
that the germs are at work, producing
"A gas which burrows deep into the
surrounding tissue.
Quick and heroic measures are de-
