WOMEN OF ITALY DOING THEIR PART
 IN WAR WORK

In Italy more than 120,000 women are facing the hardest work of the war in occupations that formerly have been supposed to belong exclu- sively to men, according to estimates made by official publications of the Italian Government. An extract tram slated from a recent report follows:
 Women in factories have left lighter work to take mems places, and peasant women have come to the cit les, attracted by high wages in the munition plants. Women are being employed in making airplanes and their work is recognized and appre- ciated, although three years ago this was not considered a suitable occupa- ton. Lombardy is the largest indus trial. center and Milan the chief in- dustrial city, but everywhere condf- tions have changed fundamentally.
 Every effort is made to guard the health of intuition workers. This is particularly necessary for the peasant women who are unaccustomed to long hours indoors. Physicians are sta toned in each factory to attend to emergency cases, and there are rest rooms with baths and showers. Club rooms and places of amusement also are furnished to guard the moral well fare Of these simple women in their new environment. Their homes are officially inspected and the landlords are required to keep the property In first rate condition. Municipalities control rents, which consequently re- main reasonable in spite of the crowd | ing of the cities.
 "The munition plants are situated outside the towns and the workers travel back and forth on the street cars.
 In most cities the fare is cents, and during busy hours tickets may be us- ed that cost even less.
 "Day nurseries have been estab- lished in the munitien plants and the women bring their younger children with them in the mornings. An al- lowance of time is given to nurse the babies, and as a result of this the number of nursing mothers has in creased from 27 to 50 per cent, while infant mortality has decreased from 36 to per cent.
 "A law cempels all intuition work. CTS to register in the national pen sion fund. Since the war a second fund, to which employees pay a smal sum monthly, has been started to pro vide for conditions after the deciara. tion of peace, when many of the muni tion makers will be compelled to fint other employment"

FIRST U. s. NAVY
 WEDDING TAKES
 PLACE IN FRANCE E

The first United States Navy we'd ding in France was solemnized on Saturday, June 15, in the Y. M. c. A. navy hut at K, the only Y. M. c. A. building overseas devoted entirely to the welfare of sailors. The bride was Miss Mildred M. Blair, second daughter of MT. and Mrs Chauncey Blair, of 4S30 Drexel Boulevard, Chi cago. The bridegroom was Ensign H. Barlow Farr of 114 West 10th street, New York city, a member of class of 1910 at Princeton.
 The marriage was the happy cul- imitation of a wartime romance Miss Blair for several months had been serving as "canteen girl" in the Y. M. c. A. navy hut selling choco- late and cigarettes to the sailors and the young ensign had meanwhile been chief of shore patrol at the port of
 The bridesmaids were her associates at the canteen counter-Mrs. Pleas ants Pennington, of Baltimore, daugh- ter of Walter Damrosch of New York. and Miss Letitia McKim, of Philadelphia. The bridegroom's S best man was his brother Shelton, chief petty officer aboard one of the destroyers assigned to duty off the French coast. Admiral Wilson,, ad- miral of the port, gave away the kride and the commanding officer of the local post General Harris) at- tended the ceremony with his staff.
 The officiating ministers were Rev. George Mooney, pastor of Grace Methodist church, Paterson, N. J., the beloved daddy of the naval hut, and Rev. Remsen D. Bird professor of theology in San Francisco Presby- terian seminary, secretary of religious work in the local army Y. M. c. A.
 The ushers were young naval and | military officers. They and the l bridesmaids had decorated the plain and rather bare auditorium of the hut until 1t was radiant with flowers | and bunting and. although the regu- lat1en full dress of either navy or | army was out of the question, the ceremony was celebrated with all the pomp and dignity that traditionally attaches to such occasions in navy circles. The wedding march was played by a band from one of the vessels in the harbor, and a company of blue jackets was in attendance as a guard of honor.
 The event excited a, iutter of hap py interest throughout the American | colony at present resident in X-- and a throng of Y. M, c. A. workers as we'll as many officers of the American war forces, were pres 1 ent,
 The brides elder sister, the Countess | de Scrians, came from her home 1T
 Riarritz for the wedding. No other of the Blair family could attend.

ANNIVERSARY OF
 MODERN NEWSPAPER
 ADVERTISING FORM

Advertising, now the main prop and support of a vast majority of newspapers and periodicals, was given little consideration by early publish CTS, and the vast advertising industry is A growth of the last century.
 In the days of the 6tuarts in Eng land no industry could succeed with out the approval and patronage of royalty, and today marks the 25 4th anniversary of the first kingly recog- hilton of the value of newspaper ad- vertising, In the Kingdem's 1ntelli- gencer of that date, Charles II, an- suounced that on certain days This sa- cred majesty would "heal his peo- ple" of the kings evil by the laying on of royal hands, and would at the expiration of the period discontinue the treatment till Michaelmas next"
 A few advertisements had been printed in English journals and news letters before that time, but in recog- nition of the king gave a great impe- tus to the industry, and in 1884 and succeeding years many lads" were printed in the Intelligencer of Sir Ro-
 
 London Gazette,
 -- Many of the advertisements of that period dealt with strange and magical practices and drugs for the cure of various ailments, so King Charles II was not the only advertising "quack.' i From the earliest period of Ameri- can journalism, which had its begin ming in the United States at Bostor and in Canada at Halifax, the pub fishers solicited advertisements. Int Boston Newsletter, the first regular ly published newspaper in America tin its initial number, April 24, 1704 carried appeals for ads" Johl Campbell the editor and publisher and also postmaster of Boston. an anounced that "all Persons who hav any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farms Ships, Vessels, Goods, Wares or Mer chandizes, sc, to be sold, or Let; o Servants Runaway, or Goods Stole o Lost, may have same inserted at Req ,sonabel Rates, from Twelve Pence t Five Shillings, and not to exceed"
 Among the advertisements publish ed in the English press at about tn time of King Charles announcement were those of "a physician of know Integrity" who promised ''the certai ,cure of agues of all sorts;" a cofh
 maker who offered ''very fashionabl laced and plain dressings for the dea .of all sizes, with very fashionable cot fins" one Joynts, who offered neck faces (which absolutely eases chil dren in breeding teeth;" a maker ( ''the right drink" which was allege to "help digestion" "dissolve cor fgealed phlegm upon the lungs

ANNIVERSARY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA'S ENTRANCE
 INTO THE DOMINION

British Columbia entered the De- lninion as a Province forty-seven years ago today, July 20, 1871. Many heated debates had marked the cam paign for bringing about the union with Canada, as the colony included many people from the United States who sought to secure annexation to that country. A pledge by the Domin- ion government to construct a trans continental railway turned the tide in favor of Canadian confederation.

SAVING IN TONNAGE SPACE
 BY DRIED FRUIT SHIPMENTS

The War Department authorizes the following:
 Another saving in tonnage space has been effected by the Quartermaster Corps in the shipment of dried fruits for the use of the American Expe- ditionary Forces. Fruits will be ship ped thoroughly dried instead of in the semi-dried condition in which they are found in commercial markets. Considerable tonnage will be saved, as prunes. dried apples, and dried peaches are largely consumed by our troops overseas. The new practice of shipping the fruits thoroughly dried will also act as a preventive against spoilage and worms
