SLEPT LATE THAT MORNING
Traveller in Sleeping Car Had His
Own Reasons for Not Wanting to
Turn Out Early.

A certain well-known local artist
who threaten dire dOings if we use
his real name and who is in n position
to make gOod-was returning to Cleve-
land from Columbus the other night
He had a lower birth, and when he re-
tired he noted that there was nobody
in the berth above him.
The evening was chilly and our
friend soon perceived the need of an
other blanket He thought of the berth
above, reached his hand up and pulled
a blanket down. 1t came hard, but he
got it; and in few minutes he was
comfortably asleep. But not before he
had wondered what made the blanket
so nice and warm around the neck.
There's no use in trying 10 work up
to climax in this yarn. The man
from whose sleeping form that blanket
had been dragged awoke with loud
complaints later in the night. And his
words were so violent that our artist
friend feared to get up in the morn
ing. until all but him had fed, as the
old song hath it.-Exchange.

From the Red Cross Bulletin, issued
at Washington, d. c., July 8, the fol-
lowing article appears about the
motor corps service:
More than six thousand women
now are included in the personnel of
the Red Cross motor corps service. AS
q result of a conference recently held
In Washington at the call Of the direc-
tor of the bureau of motor corps serv-
ice, the motor service in six of the
principal cities of the country which
previously had been independent in
Its organization, was amalgamated
with the Red Cross corps. This makes
thoroughly co-ordinated institution,
able to meet the local and inter-local
demands for transportation through
out the length and breadth of the land
on a nationaliZed basis.
The organizations which have be-
come parts of the Red Cross motor
corps service are the motor messenger
service of Philadelphia, the National
Service league motor corps of Atlanta,
the National Service league motor
corps of New York city and Buffalo,
the emergency motor corps of New
Orleans, and the emergency drivers
of Chicago. All these organizations
were represented at the conference by
their commanding officers, who now
become commanders Of the Red Cross

added more than six hundred members
TO the motor corps ranks.
In the comparatively few months
during which the national bureau has
been in control of the volunteer mo-
tor corps of the various cities, impor-
tant progress has been made in eff
cacy and uniformity of service. Rules
and requirements have been standard
lied so that those not enthusiastically
sincere in their work find no interest
in the service. Under the conditions
existing a certified driver feels pride
in her position.
In conformity with the request OF
the war department the uniform Of
khaki and the insignia formerly en-
ployed have been discarded. The new
regulation uniform of the motor corps
is to be of Red Cross oxford gray.
Commanders will wear three silver
diamonds, embroidered on their Shout
der straps. Captains will wear two
silver diamonds. first lieutenants one.
and second ieutenants a gilt diamond.
Pearl gray tabs on the collar will in
dictate staff officers. Service stripes
will be worn on the sleeves.
The cars of the service are to be
distinguished by white metal pen
nant, bearing the red cross and the
words Motor Corps" This and the
drivers Identification card will be
sufficient TO give the cars the right o
way when on official business.

New Source of Alcohol.

Through seizure of still in bak-
cry in New Mexico, where a quantity
of alcohol was discovered that had
been distilled from bake-oven fumes,
there is considerable discussion as to
the feasibility of manufacturing alco-
hol as a by-product of bread. The
seized still was a crudely constructed
affair, the vapor from the bread being
conducted from the oven into worm
which passed through barrel of wa
ter for cooling. 1t is believed large
