DOES NOT ADVISE
USE OF CARDS TO
SHOW EXEMPTION

mo exemption cards or other
means of identifying those who
find it necessary to operate their
automobiles on Sunday are to be
issued" H. A. Clevenstine, chair
man of the Rock Island county fuel
board, said today.
While it seems almost essential
that doctors, etc. be given some
means of identifying themselves, it
is not considered a good plan to
use exemption cards because it has
been found in other cities where
the system is in vogue that the
cards were used by motorists when
the use of their automobiles was
not necessary"
Several Rock Island doctors COM
planned last Monday of being jeered
for operating their autos. In one
instance a. doctor was delayed two
hours because of the loyal" ac-
tiOns of someone who was not
aware that doctors were exempt
from the Sunday request of the fuel
administration.
People are urged by the fuel au-
thorities to refrain from making
remarks about drivers of autos be-
ing dislOyaI. The drivers of the
cars that are in operation may be
on absolutely necessary errands,
the fuel authorities say.

English women complained, and
whined, and clamored, and finally
fought for the vote and what they
termed their rights. They were ig
nored, and argued with, and fought
off and finally put in Jail. but they
did not get their rights"
Then one day the men started to
do something else besides wrangle
with the women. They went off
to war and fought and died for
their country and those very same
women. And the women in turn
started to do something else be
sides throw bricks through plate
glass windows after every suffrage
meeting. Instead they went off to
hospitals and war work centers
and exercised what rights they did
have for those same men.
Finally the country and some of
the very men who had been so
bitter on the suffrage question
asked the women to do those
things which were mems work and
mems work only" They were call
ed to the farms, the factories, the
railroads. the shipyards and al
tAiOu5l tlltN were Slll1 dIlO"tu u
say nothing in making the laws to
govern this labor they turned out
in large numbers. And so it is
that the English women ara COM
ing into their rights" as a result
OF the war.
The possibility of a peeress sit
ting in the house of lords now
looms up on the horizon of English
politics, a thing which was not
even thought of before the war
At the request of her father to
King George of England, Lady
Rhondda, the wife of the late Lord
RhOndda, England's former fuel ad-
ministrator, has been made vic
countess. Her daughter, Lady Mac
Worth, now desires that she oc-
cupy her fathers seat in the house
: of lords, which desire if fulfilled
will make her the first peeress to
occupy a seat in the house of lords.

Girl in Italian Army.

Italy has an attractive heroine
who halls from Mantua. She sery-
ed through several campaigns as 4
soldier in the Italian army. 4 Sc
we're wound received in action led
to the discovery of her sex, but
not until she had served with dis
tinction through several battles,
having received a silver medal for
bravery.
Two of her brothers were in the
Bersagliere corps. and becoming
weary of the ordinary feminine war
work she enlisted and succeeded in
passing herself off as a man. Both
of her brothers were killed in &C
ton and she helped bury them.
When her sex was discovered she
was honorably discharged and to-
day bears the unique distinction Of
being the only woman who has
served in the Bersagliere.
