The war has brought many prob

"They will not let me come home

I'VE have been on the road foE the
last two months so naturally l have
been able to see quite a bit of the
country and indeed France is a very
beautiful place, especially in the
southern part.
There are a great many good look
ing women over here, but I am handi-
capped as my French vocabulary is
limited. l get a book and go of and
study for a couple of hours and then
go around and try to converse with
the natives. / will say a few words
and then they jabber back at a mile
a minute and I just throw up my
hands. So you see there is no danger
of your darling son running OF with
French countess.
'T went out on a call the other
evening up to a town near the
front. The SBoche had Just dropped
a couple Of shells in, and killed two
women and a child. Great war, eh ?
There are a great many refugees
around. so we have been sleeping
in barns, stables and garages
'T was talking with a boy from an
Allentown section the other day and
he told me that two Of the chaps
with his outfit had been captured
by the Germans. Pretty tough!
Probably he was trying to spool
me. I do not know.
Speaking Of cooks, we have a
French cook that is q cook. He
claims to be an ex-chef of the Wal
dorf, and I do not doubt his word,
as he is a wonder. He can even
cook hay and make it eatable.
'I ate a few snails the other day
and believe me they are fine!
They put pepper and butter on
them and then bake them and eat
them right out of the shell, and say,
they are great.

that a Frenchman gave me. It is as
cute as 1t can be. 1t amuses itself

Shortage Of Wool Brings

All knitting hereafter must be done
for and under the supervision of the
Red Cross. This is the mandate Of
the government. announced yester-
day.
The new policy was adopted at q
conference of representatives of the
wool commodities section Of the War
Industries Board and the American
Red Cross. A definite plan was ne
cessitated by the recent decision of
the War Industries Board that the
government take over the entire wool
clip OF the country for the ensuing
year. The agreement reached yes

all available wool in order that the

At the conference II was declared
that stringent methods for the con-
servation of raw wool for military
purposes had become urgently neces-
sary.
The first allotment of wool will 60

government. and any surplus re-
naming will first be used for filifng

stops Chapter Bidding.
The new plan will do away with
the practice of Red Cross chapters
buying yarn independently in open
marked. and raising the price bid
ding against each other. Chapters
can procure yarn only upon specific
requisitiop through their divisional
headquarters. All wool must be ac-
counted for in finished garments after
each issue.
This rule will take all yarn from
the public market, so that none can
be purchased and made up into gifts
by individuals.
1t is understood that the standard
to be adopted by the Red Cross will
provide for only blue and gray colors.

ILLNESS AS A CURE;
OLD IDEA REVIVED

1t seems paradoxical enough to
speak Of using one disease to cure
another, but the science Of medicine,
like up-to-date literature, delights in
paradox. Says the Medical Record:
''The history Of mental disease from
Hippocrates to Freud Is full of en-
pirlcism, cropping in the dark, of seek
ing mental effects in physical causes
and in general of casting about for
anything which offers the least ray
of hope in an admittedly gloomy SUBJ
ject. Many Of the old-time thera-
peutic methods are ludicrous enough,
some of them seem impossible, and
not a few absolutely cruel. All were
Intellectual. But It would seem that
the height of empiricism was reached
when the artificial production Of fever
was used to cure mental disease"
The Record goes on to say that the
method grew out of the observation
of the physicians that marked i'm
provement in the mental condition of
insane patients frequently followed

IL will cost less to prepare for a
swim in the Municipal pools this
summer.
The health authorities have ruled
that you don't have to wear much
of anything except an Annette
and a cap.
Everybody knows just how the
price of silk stockings has been
soaring. While a little old Annette
can be purchased anywhere for q
dollar. And think of the wool and

"Scbtember Morn" In Discard.
Last season women at Atlantic
city became so delighted with the
idea of the September Morn almost
swimming suit that the beach re-
sembled a musical comedy chorus
Reaction brought a rigid rule and
rigid enforcement of 1t. Skirts cut
too high or waists too low were barred
and the owners sometimes arrested.
Stockings were considered necessary.
Following our nsg social order that
what is for women is also for man.
the new rule is applied to mere man
also at Atlantic City.
Chesapeake Beach is the missing
link between the Washington munich
pal pool rules and those of Atlantic
city. Suits are greatly abbreviated at
that place and skirts are passe. There
is no strict censorship. Low necks

most part and cOlors are those Of the

Bare Legs shock Only Prudes.
As one official expressed it, There
is nothing really shocking on the
whole beach. Low necks and bare
legs are offensive only to prudes. The
police will see tnat nothing disgusting
appears. Naturally common decency
and the propTieties are observed.
Perhaps that is the reason, of the
new law at Atlantic City. Somebody
has to make the people there behave,
while Chesapeake Beach and Wash
ington have that inborn decorum
which needs no rules.
Anyway, whether the Directors at
Washington and at Chesapeake rely
on the people or believe they are too
busy doing war work to get into mis-
chief they have sent out no rules
against "spooning' and beach fiirta-
tions while these are being considered
at Atlantic City.
The swimming pools of Washington
will open for the summer at 6 o'clock,
when for three hours mixed swim
ming will be permitted-men and
women being admitted to the same
pool. At all other times the pools
will be used at different times by the
sexes.
The schedule announced by Director
Drummer restricts all hours after 3
a. m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays for women and girls and
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
for boys and men.
The swimming periods viii be of
two hours each. There will be recess
periods of from L to l. from to 4,
and from s to Z.
Instructors of swimming will be in
charge of the pools and teach the
men and women. Youngsters classes
are to start at 10 a. m.
