This is not a new profession for
women. It Is simply a suggestion
for cooperation between the women
who are in the business field and
need a strong right hand in their
little homes and the women who
can no longer be in business. but
who are Intelligent and particu-
lArly sympathetic with the needs OF
the business woman. It's an idea

Yes. II would seem unjust II that

OF not paying Office help for extra
work, and yet paying factory work

How Thex Jest with Death.

When one division moved up to
new headquarters it took along with 1t
a sergeant in the @. M. G. who believes
in being as conf )rtable as the exigen-
cies of war will permit. He was one
of those "sleek-headed men, and such
as sleep O nights" and straightway he
began to look around for bed. In a
barn he found the village hearse, which
by some oversight had not been evac-
uated. And there he lies nightly.
Somebody else liked the idea and
tried to bunk on the roof. But the
hearse wouldn't stand it. 1t threaten
ed to collapse all over the sergeant,
and after a council of war it was de-
cided that the hearse had been con-
structed on one-man basis and ought
to stay that way.
cts very comfortable the sergeant
explains. "And if they ever she'll the
barn, here am, al! ready for EN-

USE sANDBAGS ON WARsHlPS
Have Been Found to Form the Only
Efficient Protection for the Guns
and Gun Crews.

The use of sandbags or wicker has,
'kets filled with sand as protection
against hostile projectiles in warfare Is
by no means new, but the present war
has probably seen the most extensive
use ever known of this means of de-
Tense, says Popular Science Monthly.
Against the enormous force OF the
modern explosive. neither steel nor con-
crete offers adequate protection. II
was found that earth or sand, either In
a loose state or-in bags, formed more
efficient protection against shells,
shrapnel or the projectiles of small
arms or machine guns than barricades
Of other material.
A picture taken on board of British
monitor preparing to go into action
shows that sandbags as means OF
protection are by no means confined to
the warfare in the trenches. A cover
ing of sandbags is placed on the roof
Of the turret to give additional pro-
SECTION to the big guns and the crew,
should they come within range of a
hostile battleship or be attacked by a
hostile airplane. Without these sand
bags the roof of the turret would offer
little protection against missiles drop
ping on them. almost vertically. This
applies to projectiles fired from guns
with a high angle of elevation and to
bombs dropped from aircraft

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Cri of the new
revenue bill by the Republican spokes-
men occupied the House in the general
debate. Inequalities and inconsistent
cies in levying taxes characterized as
unnecessarily high, and charges OF
waste in Government expenditures
were the principal complaints mace
in prepared speeches by Representa-
tiyes Fordney, of Michigan, and Moore,
Of Pennsylvania, ranking Republican
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Both, however, promised 10
vote for the bill in nonpartisan fur-
tlerance of American success III the
war, despite their criticisms. Hearing
by the Senate Finance Committee on
the bill resumed and were confined to
objections to minor provisions. The
House debate was attended by less
chan one-fourth of the members, but
chose present displayed close interest
with questions and retortS.
Excessive taxation and failure to-
raise tariff rates were emphasized by
Representative Fordney, who said the
bill proposed to secure 40 per cent OF
this years actual expenditures, $751;
OOOOOO,OOO exclusive of allied loans,
by taxation. AS alleged extravaganza
in expenditures, Mr.. Fordney cited
Government contracts, some, he said,
netting profits up to 1000 per cent.
There were touches of politics in the
discussion. While partisanship had
not entered into framing the bill, Rep
resentative FOrdney charged thar
President Wilson :alone has shown
partisan politics." and Mr.. Moore de-
clared that the Republican minority
was helpless in framing the bill and,
if in control, would not have brought
forth the measure, as it stands.
Among instances Of alleged waste OF
Government money, Representative
Fordney included certain publications
issued by Chairman Creel, of the Com
miitee on Public Information, who llo
said should be kicked out"

The Warhorse and the Miller.

Those who delight in reading about
patrioteers of today should enjoy this
fable of Ambrose Bierce, written 20
years ago:
Having heard that the state was
about to be invaded by hostile army
a Warhorse belonging to Colonel OF
Militia offered his services to a pass
ing Miller.
"No," said the patriotic Miller, Il
will employ no one who deserts his
positiOn in the hour of danger. 1t Is
sweet to die for ones country"
Something in the sentiment sounded
familiar, and, looking at the Miller
more closely, the Warhorse recognized
his master in disguise.
