Agents of the Department of Justice

women insulted. The names of some
OF the Germans have been obtained and

Russia's Heart With Allies
Our country is temporarily out of

In spite of the German peace conclud-

the heart of tne overwhelming ma

Our countrys ruin is due to tho

RUSSIAN army, which after two years
of strenuous work on the part of the en-

all the necessaries Of war, has now

Light Side of Campaign for
Funds to Crush Autocracy

Four soldier singers. with a piano on
q brewery truck, have sold more than
$4,000 worth of war savings stamps
during the last two weeks.
"We've been running a one-ring cir
Gus all over town, with about every

Elatow, song writer, who is now wear

Charles Murphy. bond dealer, to help

Office when the boss wasn't looking, and
have been singing ourselves hoarse on
the street corners ever since. Our
chief trouble has been to keep the
crowds out Of the wagon. Everybody
wants TO sing with us, and we stand for
it as long as they buy the stamps.
We're peddllng out the copies so fast
that it takes our four-ton truck to
carry home the quarters at night. Be-

great hit"
Eight street urchins, who had moth

plague the policeman in Madison
Square, to-day are looking for Jobs that
will enable them to keep up future
payments on S40O worth of Liberty
bonds. The boys became useful cit
lzens and prospective capitalists when
Irving E. Cohen, a bond salesman,
singled them out of the crowd before
the Liberty Bank and invited them to
help support the government loan.
IF you haven't got the money with
you for the initial payment" said Mr..
Cohen, "1'll see what can be done about
raising it. A little thing like that is
nothing between friends" He turned
back to the crowd. "How about it, gem
tlemen! / guess some of you will ac.

Sixteen dollars was forthcoming in

cratic taste in the size Of her garments.
II her figure is a perfect l0." she is
likely to purchase a perfect 42''
blouse one day and a perfect Ss" coat
the next. according TO what the shop
has in stock. Certainly this willingness
TO adapt her shape 10 stock sizes is a
supreme evidence OF the new democ-
raoy IN dress
And any man can see that no single
hat queens it over others. Some hats
turn up behind and some slant down in
front; some have a flower on top, some
have a bow beneath the brim. and some
are not trimmed anywhere; some are
brimless and some have wide and flop
py brlms; some suggest antique and
some futurist art. There are nat hats
and velvet hats snd hats with trailing
widow wells, but there Is no single ex-
elusive hat which Is the vogue and
which every woman insists on wearing.
Fashion Is VIGOROUSLY as tickle as
love- but today her democracy can
neither be censored nor censured. Be
cause women can now choose their
styles TO suit their style, clothes
ere bound TO be more becoming
than ever. no matter what queer sub

MUST KEEP TAB ON
D0LING OUT DRUGS

A number Of persons In Wilmington
have received the impression that pre-
scriptions can no longer be reflled at
drug stores, and that a new prescrlp-
ton must be obtained from the ply
slcian before more OF the medicine can
be procured Usually prescriptions can
be renlled as often as the purchaser
desires The law against renlllng ap-
plies only TO prescriptions which con-
tain more than a certain amount Of GER
tain habit-forming drugs. For instance,
a bottle OF medicine containing more
than a grain Of codeine per ounce, or
a quarter grain Of morphine per ounce,
or a quarter grain OF morphine per
ounce. cannot lawfully be realled. The
doctor must again prescribe the medi-
cine before It can he sold TO a customer.
The reason is obvious; II Is a measure
TO prevent persons from becoming ad-
dicted TO the use Of these drugs.
