Lieut.. Rayne Brings
Home Souvenirs
of the War
(Cortinuod from page ID

A peculiar law of auto traffic in
France is that the man who is run
into is the man who has to pay the
damages or suffer penalties. Pete
was probably perfectly safe under
this ruling, as he was never known
to give the other man chance.
The troops who made the charge
at Catchy were in command OF
Major Rozelle, of l.. S. U. He was
instructor to Lieut.. Rayne and the
Lieutenant was delighted to meet
him. Abby Lawson was also in that
command.
Lieut.. Rayne says that in the sec
ton of Lorraine the richest man can
always be distinguished by the huge
ness of the manure pile he has in his
yard. The larger the pile the richer
the man. This pile is always situat-
ed in front of the house. Animals
have rooms in the house devoted to
their care, and chickens, pigeons,
ETC., have the loft, with little ladders
leading up to them.
In Picardy, however, the homes
are beautiful. There are no fences,
and when cattle are ranging they are
tethered and watched.
Lieut.. Rayne left an empty pack
age of Fatima citarettes, the same
package we have here. They cost IL
cents in France. A hair cut is 10
cents, and they will finish you up
completely with massage and sham
poo for quarter.
Lieut.. Rayne was gassed once and
was confined to a dark room for a
while. His eyes, nose and throat
wore affected.
Two days out from France sub
marine was encountered and sunk.

LEMON JUICE
IS SKIN WHITENER
How To Make Creamy Beauty In
ton for u Few Cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white makes
a whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
whitener and beautifer.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion and massage
it daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands Adv.

ers would not be decided until an
actual case arose.
A hearing has been had on this
subject by the Proost Marshal Gen
eral, who reports that it is not clear
to him that the game will have to be
discontinued even il the order is
made Immediately applicable.
The purpose of the work or fight
order, so far as the War Department
is concerned, is to strengthen the mil
itary forces o fthe country, and not
to control the labor situation. In
cidentally, it will undoubtedly have
the effect of adding to the number of
persons usefully employed. and de-
creasing the number of persons use
lessly employed. In this way the Or
der will strengthen the military fore
es by making it less necessary to ex-
empt for industrial reasons men who
would otherwise be taken into the
military service. This is an indirect
result, but one of very great import
ance, and if exceptions are made, o.
)ostponements are to 'be made in the
enforcement of this order, it will re-
quire very careful study to de
termine whether those exceptions
ought to be the persons in whose 5e
half this petition is filed or some
other group out of the large number
affected by the order, many of whom
have already complied with it, and
brought about a readjustment of the
trades and occupations which they
had previously followed.
ho for <,v n
to have so wholesome recreation as
baseball destroyed If it can be con-
tinued by the use of persons not
availa BILE for essential war service.
But it would be a much more UNI
fortunate thing to preserve even so
wholesome an amusement by MAX
ing an exception in favor CT base
ball players which is denied to great
classes. of persons in the United
States whose occupations have been
held similarly nonessential, although
they are Immediately associated with
the distribution of food and other
processes of our daily life more fun
damental than any mere amusement.
1t does happen that baseball is
more integrated than any other occu-
patton IN our country, at least IN the
sense that it's successful conduct de-
ponds upon the preservation of all
the major league teams scattered
throughout the country while in
most occupations the work or fight
order has merely a series of local
and more or less personal effects.
l am impressed, too, by the repre-
sentation made that the baseball
players may have been put in less
favorable attitude by reason of their
reliance on my statement that the
question OF their inclusion in the
terms of the order would not be de-
cided until case had arisen.
For these reasons 1t seems to me
entirely proper and fair to extend the
time during which the readjustment
can take place, merely in order that
justice may be done to the persons
involed, and l do, therefore, direct
that the application of the order be
made to date from September 1.
The order for the extension to the
5th OF October is denied.

that there are but 237 persons az

that the failure of the clubs to adapt
