Thousands of Widows
Not Yet Is Years Old

Most of the women of India are
married before they are 10 years old!
Millions are married in their cradles,
and there are thousands upon thou
sands of widows who have not yet
reached what the reformers now hesi-
family suggest as the marriageable
age. Not the widest reformer among
them has ever dared put this age
above 16, either. AS matter of
fact. there are more than $4,000, 900
widows in India. and they are all vir-
tually slaves in the households of
their dead husbands. 1t is an extra
ordinary problem.
Infant mortality in India is terrific.
Infant husbands die in infancy and
leave widows, who are bound by
stringent and immemorial law-not
British law, but Indian law, with
which the British. controlling such a
fearful population, have not dared to
interfere-to remain widows through
out their lives.
The British abolished suttee, or the
immolation of widows on the funeral
pyres of their husbands, and they
eradicated thuggee. Mark Twain
writes about thuggee in More
Tramps Abroad" 1t fascinated him
and he devoted thrilling chapters to
Tightly. of course, and from a
humorous standpoint that would have
been impossible to any other human
that ever lived.-Eleanor r. EEan in
the Saturday Evening Post.

Y. M. c. A. to Swell
Its Forces in Russia

New York, July 2. - The National
War Work Council of the Young
Mems Christian Association announc-
ed here yesterday it was preparing to
support President Wilson's sugges-
ton of economic aid for Russia by
recruiting more directors and secre-
taries to re-enforce the 100 American
Y. NJ. c. A. workers still remaining
in that country.
In announcing the new men will be
chosen with a view to their ability
to contribute some constructive ele-
ment to the Russian life of the flu
ture" the council added:
Some will be agriculturists, others
businessmen of leadership and a con-
siderable part will be men skilled in
rural Y. M. c. A. work in this country
All will go with the purpose of help
ing Russia to help herself rather than
with any thought of attempting to
dictate Russian policy or to control
Russian institutions"
With the conclusion of the peace
agreement at Brest-Litovsk the Y NJ
c. A. workers serving in the Ameri-
from the Baltic to the Caucasus re-
mained in Russia, taking care of
thousands of invalid Russian prison
ers returned by Germany and seeking
to build up the morale of civilians and
soldiers alike.
Red Triangle workers are scattered
throughout Russia and Siberia, the
council said, adding that German
propagandists had failed in their eff
forts to drive, out this band of Ameri-
cans. who have won their way into
the hearts of the Russian people"

AngOra Cat Starts Car
Crashing Into Another

st. Louis, Mo.-An electric coupe,
owned by j. p. Rice, of 5231A Won
Versen avenue, travelled more than
two blocks in Union Boulevard the
other night with an angora cat as
Its only occupant, the kitten appar-
emily having started the machine
while it was parked in 'front.' of Ca
banne Library.
The coupe Travelled south, ran into
the rear of the automobile of Allen
w. Clark, 1924 Maple avenue, and
pushed it more than a block before
Clark got out of his own car and
climbed into the coupe, turning off
the power in the latter. When he got
in the kitten got out.
Rice told the police that the kitten
was not his and must have crawled
into the machine after he had left it,
1t is possible for cat to start an
electric car If the switch is not
thrown out. The only movement
necessary is the pushing of lever
at the side of the drivers seat A
cat playing on the seat cushion might
do this.

CAPTAIN JACOBS
TO BE DROPPED
No Truth, However, in Report
He Was Convicted of
Disloyalty

Captain Charles W. Jacobs has
been dropped from the rolls of the
State. Police, the department an
nounced to-day. There is no truth,
however, in the report that he has
been convicted of -Germanism or
disloyalty The statement of the
department is as follows:
Captain Charles w. Jacobs.
Troop A State Police at Green's
burg, Pa, who was tried by court
martial at Greensburg by the su-
perintendent and deputy on June
27, on charges of conduct to the
prejudice of good order and police
discipline was given a leave of abb
sence for fifteen days at the end of
which period he will be dropped
from the service.
Captain Jacobs established to
the satisfaction of his superiors
that he is a citizen of the United
States, that he is a citizen of the
United States. that he is the owner
of one thousand dollars worth of
Liberty Bonds and displayed re-
ceipts for large sums from the Red
Cross and Boy Scout campaign.
superintendent Lumb is satisfied
that some of the accusations against
Captain Jacobs were inspired by
malice and had no foundation in
fact.
Captain Jacobs has not been in
good health for some time past but
has continued to bear the troop ad-
ministration burdens without the
rest his condition required. 1t is be-
lieved that the pessimistic remarks
that he is charged with having made
are in great measure due to his
physical condition and Superin-
tendent Lumb is satisfied that the
only indiscretion that Captain
Jacobs was guilty of was that of
making such remurKs as may be
heard frequently uttered by thought
less people in discussing the war or
the government. 1t is purely a dis
ciplinary measure which Jacobs
agreed to that resulted in his leav-
ing the service. The rumors that
the Department of Justice is wait
ing on the result of the court-mar-
tia1 is denied at the Harrisburg Of
flee of the State Police. Nothing on
the subject has been heard from the
Department of Justice and it is in
conceivable that the Federal agents
would take any official action against
a member of the State Police force
without fully cooperating with the
one branch of the state government
that is working day and night is
close cooperation with the Depart
ment of Justice through both the
washington office and the local
branches.
Captain Jacobs served three years
in the United States Cavalry, three
years in the Infantry, one year on
recruiting service and twelve years
and half on the State Police force
where he has won a reputation with
his superiors for courage and steadi-
ness SUCH as few can claim"

British Red Cross Men
Praised For Valor
By Associated Prest

London. July 2.-British Red Cross
ambulance men did splendid work
during the recent Austrian Offensive
and they gained high praise from
the Italian military authorities, ac-
cording to reports received here from
Rome. Their actual help was in
creased by the moral support given
the Italians.
On the plain west of the Piave
British ambulances often were in
hotly-contested sectors. One regi-
mental medical post they served was
within several hundred yards of the
firing line. The Britishers won the
admiration of the Italins for their
work among the vines and fruit trees
which were in full leaf and through
which 1t was impossible to see more
TINA very short distance. Nine
tenths of the wounded in certain di-
visions were carried to the rear by
the British.
When the Austrians retreated
across the river at Ponte di Piave,
British ambulances worked up to the
river bank and took care of Aus
trian as well as of Italian wounded.

Terrified by
Worst Raid of the War;
Germans Flee tn Towns

Geneva, Switzerland, July g.
south German newspapers, in order
to release the nervous and angered
populations of towns along the
Rhine, attempt to explain away as
unimportant the aerial lombard
ment of Mannheim on Saturday
morning. IL was really the most
terrific raid on German town dur
ing the war. The Germans officially
announced that five were killed and
fourteen We're wounded, but the fig
ures could be quadrupled. Several
victims were unfortunately, allied
officers, who, disdaining shelter,
cheered the allied aviators.
The residents of Mannheim also
were chagrined in witnessing five
or six German machines running
away from the British. Three of the
former were brought down in flames
near the town. The Badische Ami
line and Soda Factory, upon which
bombs fell, blazed for many hours.
one of the largest banks was wreck
ed, its office furniture being blown
into the principal street of the city.
The population, already nervous be-
fore the raid, is now panic stricken.
The raid on Karlsruhe, according
to German reports, caused only ma
terial damage.

Rhine towns continues, and house
rents have deprecated. per cent.
London, July 2.-Recent air raids
against railway stations and military
establishments in Germany are being
continued, according to an official
statement issued by the Air Minis
try. The statement reads:
ION the night of June 30-July l
further attacks were made on the
enemy airdrome at Boulay and on
railway works and stations at Thion-,
vile, Remilly, Landau, Zweibrucken
and Saarsbrucken. The chemical
wors at Mannheim were again at
tackled.
''On July l the railway and work
shops at Karthaus, the station at
Treves, and the railway triangle, of
Metz Sabions were bombed with
good effect. One hostile machine
was shot down and two of ours are
missing. One of the machines re-
ported as missing on June 80 has
returned"

BUSY BUSINESS MEN
Science Helps Them Out After
Recklessly Abusing the Stomach

The most reckless man in regard
to health is the busy business man.
At noon he rushes out for a bite to
eat. He bolts his food without prop
er mastication, and heaps on his
stomach an extra burden greater
than it is able to carry without
breaking down.
His overworked stomach is crying
for help; it appeals to him for re-
lief in various ways: Expulsion of
sour gas, waterbrash, sour taste in
mouth, heaviness after eating, short
ness of breath, bad breath, etc.
One Mi-o-na tablet taken with or
after. each meal will help any suffer
er from dyspepsia wonderfully. 1t
aids the stomach in the work of di-
gestion which it must perform.
Mi-o-na tablets are sold by II. G..
Kennedy with a rigid guarantee to
overcome dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles, or money back. They make
eating pleasure.
Mi-o-na cleanses and purifies the
stomach and bowels and puts vigor
and strength into the overworked
tissues. 1t is the surest stomach
tonic in the. world.

following extracts:

mother very lazy. Not seasick, but
sleepy. To-day will begin interview

women in the faded effect l have
to wear in France. On board I wear
my old uniform. The Red Cross is
the exclusive bunch, Y. NJ. c. A. the
bustling. 1-am-on-the- job crowd.
Everybody not inoculated ashore
went through that yesterday with re-
suit of many sore arms to-day. Boat
drill this afternoon with life belts.
Gunners painting and polishing guns,
but you get so used to the atmos-
phere of expectancy that you do not
mind it.
My room is most comfortable with
a young 1talian-Swiss as roommate.
Good wardrobe and dresser room,
but of course close at night. with
portfolios closed. Many officers and
men abroad and such fine chaps. 1t
makes me so proud of our Army.
Charming French officers abloom
with decorations, so unassuming and
friendly. Head of Y. NJ. c. A. party
formerly professor of romantic Ian
guages at Harvard. Going on special
mission in French Army Cannot
mention names it seems. but women
in some cases quite distinguished in
literature and on platform.
The fare is Hooverized but excel
lent. No white bread or sugar and
in self-defense I am learning to drink
chocolate. Your oranges were a real
blessing, also nuts. For breakfast we
have eggs which starts the day right
for me. After that nothing matters,
though the sea air makes me very
hungry.
Many Things Happen
r-- May IA.
Have been a bad correspondent. So
many things happen. Y. NJ. C. A. put
me on entertainment committee. We
give program nightly for A. e. +.

am interviewing people for my ar
ticles-about two a day. Hope to
write one before landing. wish I
might reassure you by wireless, for
l know you are anxious. 1 feel so Sc
cure now that ] am on board. A
French naval officer in command,
a fine crew, ample boats and in my
boat two American naval officers.
Every night 1 pack my knapsack and
lay out my sea-going clothes and
every morning l put them away
again. Otherwise life goes on as
usual. Last night a fine concert in
saloon for French wounded Many
notables, grand opera. etc. No names
however may be mentioned. 1900
frs. raised, 1000 of which through
caricatures by American artist. Will

The most interesting phase aboard
