Psychology Of War
On WOmen's Dress
~ LENA MADISON PHILLIPS,
7. w. c. A. National Board Secretary
for Business Women.

ieN 6A1ilGoo WAUlNHs
Work while you work and primp
at home" is the new slogan for the
woman in business. With the call to
her new duties brought about by war
has come to woman the knowledge
that TO succeed in business she can
not think of her clothes during office
hours The old fashioned idea that
woman g. always clustering about her
dress is rapidly being killed In action.
If the business women are to meet
the demands Of the present day chal-
lenge, thus fulfilling the promise OF
their past achievements, the stand
ards Of the average woman must be
raised as means thereto, and the
raising OF standards means sensible
dressing. To appear at the Office with
fuzzy hair, high heels and the primp-
ing attitude; to work all day with one
eye on the clock and the other on the
mirror. had a tendency to lower stand
ards. Ideas on the change in the at
tire of business women have been fer
menting for some time. one clever
woman has even gone so far as 10
work out the fact based on a canvass
and statistics thar the woman who
was always fussing over her clothes
and primping during Office hours did
not get her salary raised.
With the coming Of the war wOmans
work has been made real, and ml
these fermenting ideas are fast being
crystallzed Women have found the
waists that muss on the slightest prov
ocation, Ike chiffon, and other mate
r1als designed for the drawing room,
impractical for the real work they are
now called upon TO do They have
found that high heels advertise weak
ness. and those who are doing Uncle
Sans work must think Of their feet
in terms Of strong ankles and strong
arches. They have discovered. above

QUIET ON U. S. SECTOR
No Renewal of BattIe-Quick Aid by
Americans Drove Boches Back.

With the American Army in
France; Thursday. Jan. S1-(By the
Associated Press) s).-Condition were
quiet on the American sector all day
today because of fog which tonis ht
showed no signs of abating. Beyond
a few shots from both sides at regis
tered targets there was very little
artillery firing. There was virtually
no infantry activity.
Additional details of yesterdays
raid show that only the heroism of
the platoon in the trenches nearest
thu listening post raided prevented the
enemy from entering the trenches and
perhaps capturing prisoners.
As soon as the barrage fire lifted
the platoon came out of its dugouts
and stepped to the firing platforms
Their rifle fire held off a superior
number of Germans who tried to ap-
proach. When the enemy saw that
the Americans were determined to
hold the position they withdrew into
the fog. Later a number of bloody
enemy rifles and other equipment were
found beyond the American position

TORTURE AMERICANS!
Huns Put Prisoners in Cages Without
Food, According to Document.

With the American Army in France,
Feb. 1, (By the Associated Press >
American officers at the front have
come into possession of documents
said to have been taken frem Germans
opposite our positions and which deal
with the treatment to be accorded
prisoners.
The documents say that all prison
ers, including commissioned and nom
commissioned officers, after being cap
tured are to be kept in cages for four
days without food and compelled to
stand all the time. After the four-day
period only small quantities of food
are N be given.
Altho, definite information on the
point is lacking, some American Off
GERS today expressed the belief that
the order resulted from the difficult
ties the Germans probably expert
enced in extracting information from
the first American prisoners captured
in November. Such treatment of pris-
oners, ii is felt, could be designed only
to make them give up military in
formation.

Below zero. -
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the wind
had increased in velocity to 10 miles
an hour but was still blowing from the
southwest. Temperatures for the day
were 26 degrees below the normal for
the date.
Meterologist Flora sprung the best
news that has come over the wires in
a long time this morning when he
said: THE back of the cold wave is
broken. Fair and warmer tonight and
Saturday."
This spell of cold came very close
to breaking the record for continued
period below zero weather. For five
days now the temperatures in Topeka
have been below the zero mark, and
this record was exceeded in only one
year at this point. Seven days in Feb
ruary, 1899. holds the record, but at
that time the mercury dropped to 25
below as against 1 6 below this year
The high record for the date in To-
peka was IS. in 1911, and the low
record was Il below in 1917. The
low record is entirely safe, said Flora
this morning.

says:
The first American locomotive serv-

brought memories of home to the en-
gineers and astonished the French as
also did the American locomotive bell.
which however. will be removed, be-
cause a bell is the signal in the French
army for a gas attack. This locomo-
tive is the first purely American
model running on broad gauge Ameri-
can tracks ever in service in Europe.
