SISTERS OF SOLDIERS
MAY GO TO FRANCE

As was expected, the WV Department
has modified the order prohibiting the
granting of passports 70 relatives Of
soldiers, so that sisters Of officers and
enlisted meu hcnceforth Will be eligible
for the Red Cross nursing service and for
other important work. The following
memorandum Oh the subject, from Cen
eral Peyton @. March, chief Of staff, has
Just been made public:
'fOn representation Of responsible heads
Of the Red Cross, T. NJ. G. A., and other
allied bodies who are doing war work in
France that they are unable TO obtain a
sufficient number Of women as workers,
the prohibition by the War Department
concerning the granting Of passports p
relatives Of officers and men IN the Unltea
States army Is modified so as to permit
the use Of sisters of soldiers as workers
under the following conditions:
First. The sisters must be duly
accredited members Of one Of the regular
authorized organizations.
Second. Each must be particularly
qualified by training for the position she
Is TO fill.
Third That she 5 sent To France as
a worker and not as relative.
Fourth That she viii make no efforts
to visit her relatives IN France whether
sick or we'll
Fifth. That the organization TO which

Sixth. That II she marrles an officer
or a soldier in the American Expeahtlonary
Forces after her arrival. she will auto

An agreement has been reached with
the heads of the organizations affected

Z. F. ID France for approval lists showing
the numbers they recommend being sent,

A BIG FUR SALE.

An event of big money-saving posi-
bilities is afforded in the August Fur Sale
now being carried on by Mawson d DE
Many IN Philadelphia. Over $500, 900
worth Of new furs are offered at a 20 per
cent reduction, because IN the summer
months fur labor is at low cost and the
furs in this sale have been made up before
winter prices prevail Every style Of
fur is represented in this stock, from coats
of every kind down to sets and separate
pieces. And as an extra inducement
persons who desire to open charge ac-
counts may do so and their bills will
not be rendered until October l.
Even the lack of ready money will
not prevent any one from taking adj
vantage Of this Mawson x DeMany
sale, for Il small deposit viii reserve
your purchase place in their storage
vaults until you need your furs Mr..
DeMany is authority for the statement
that the 20 per cent real production
really a 40 per cent opportunity
for, in addition to labor In summer being
cheaper in the fur business, the furs Tor
this sale were purchased last spring before
the big advance in price took place.
In addition to the reduction IN furs
a 20 per cent reduction is also made
for repairing and remodeling your own
furs, but this reduction only holds during
the month Of August and cannot be
extended into September.

LIZ THE KAISER HAD
SENSE OF HUMOR

Booth Harrington says in his article
on the Kaiser, which appears IN the
August American Magazine;
What the Germans needed for q
Kaiser was a man with a sense Of comedy
Such man would have saved them, for
he would have seen the dunderhead
tragedy of the notions they were getting
about themselves But Wilhelm has no
comedy, though he is romantic actor
and stage manager. That has been his
most disastrous accomplishment, setting
scenes for himself He loved the gesture
OF being the Big Sojer Man and he loved
rafting the saber.
'Of course he had to threaten some
body: What's Big Sojer Man for, if he
doesn't shout, You better look out or
Ill cut your heads off? This satisfied
something in him, for there is a wol6sh
streak in the kind OF actor he is, and there
is bit OF wolf to be seen in some Of his
photographs. Rafting the Saber was
congenial to bis temperament, and also he
believed It had value as craftsmanship.
1t kept the rest of Europe afraid that
Germany would make war, and thus
other nations endured humihations. in
order TO preserve the peace, while Ger
many increased in power and impress
slveness.

\. v {. A. PLANS FOR
HOUSING WOMEN
Buildings of Permanent Value De-
signed to House Girls En-
gagged in War Work.

After an exhaustive investigation of the
subject. the Housing Committee of the
War Council Of the Young Women s
Christian Association has made definite
suggestions I'd the Secretary OF War and TO
Otto EIdlItz, chairman of the Housing
Committee Of the Council of National
Defense, for housing women war workers
IN the United States.
Although the problem Of housing wo-
men workers IL connection with our great
industrial establishments IS not a new
problem created by the war, the calling Of
50 many women to war service makes the
situation immediately acute, and of con-
stantly growing seriousness.
Since 1t IS part OF the war program, the
housing of these women employees must be
provided by the government. but the
\. ". {. A. IS prepared 10 construct one
model building At its own expense, and Is
AT present building this at Charleston,
South Carolina If the government decides
to make provision for the housing of its
women workers. the y W G. A. offers to
provide the necessary social and recrea-
tional workers.
1t is not sufficient that women should
be provided TO care for the actual house
keeping, for social head Of the house Is
also required who can get and hold the
respect of the girls and take a position
OF leadership IN their social life. The
Younger girls need this control, which
takes the place of the restrictions OF the
average home. Older women, however,
are unwilling 10 live In these group houses,
for they prefer independence OF living,
and object TO the confusion and noise that
the Younger girls appear to prefer. Differ
ent types Of buildings are therefore needed
fli the, ,oaI- .f fhoea eiazGnS nf
workers. and where there are great num-
bers Of women to he housed separate
buildings will also be needed to provide
for the recreation Of the girls. Where there
are but few to be cared for the recrea-
tional facilities may all be included In the
building in which the women are housed,
but for large settlements the central
recreation building that will care for all
the women Is of the greatest Importance
For the older women, or for groups OF
girls who cannot speak English and who
are thereforemore comfortablyhoused with
women of their own tongue, small houses
containing four separate apartments have
been designed which may be placed III the
same settlement rs the larger units hous-
ing from a hundred to a hundred and fifty
girls, and may therefore enjoy the recrea-
tional advantages provided for the large
houses.
Different localities Of course have to
work out their own housing problems IN
their own way, but the plans made
through the efforts Of the Y W &. A,
give many suggestions Of the greatest
value, and if adopted in their entirety
will provide for the adequate housing and
care Of the many women who are doing
their war work in the many factories and
munltion plants Of this country.

Last winter several of the large cities
of The East were gwen the opportunity
to see the work OF French aviator and
artist, Lieutenant Henri Fare, who has
been made the official painter of the Frenh
fyirg service An artist before the war,
Lieutenant Fare enlisted in 1914, and
as a bomber and observer has taken part
in many of the great raids against the
Rhine cities. The French government
has given him every opportunity to visit
ali parts of the front, and all the aviation
schools, in order that he might be able
70 commemorate IN his beautiful paintings
the famous flights and battles Of the
famous French avlators, whose portraits
he was also able To paint.
AS a record of the war flying of France
these paintings are truly wonderful,
for they are able to give the feeling Of
hying and the sense of great height and
distance as photographs can never give
them. The colors of the clouds and
distant earth and sea, and the dragOn-fy
machines with their tri-color markings
and their sense of great speed are unique
in painting, the forerunners of many
pictures that are TO come, inspired by the
new art of flying
In this large collection Of paintings
and sketches there are MANY OF the victor
les of Captain Guynemer and OF other
thrilling BATTLES In the clouds, and most
beautiful Of all, perhaps, pictures Of
bombing raids, with the city indistinct
below and the hostile planes, bent on its
destruction, flying above.
These paintings, from the point of view
of an aviator who Is also an artist, are
part of the contribution which aviation
has already made to art. Ayiators seem
TO be very versatile gentlemen indeed, as
is evidenced by the work Of two Of the
great Italians. Vanity Fair for August
gives two examples of the etchlngs Of
'Gianni Caproni, the Italian genius who Is
the designer Of the wonderful Caproni
planes, and an etcher and mezzotinter Of
the first order.
Like the great Italian artists Of the
Sixteenth century--Leonardo, who was
painter and scientist and sculptor and
engineer and architect; Michael Angelo,
