ice CREAM SODAS
FOR BOYS IN FRANCE
7. M. c. A. Orders Fruit Flavors
for One Million Summer
Drinks.
One million ice cream sodas.

Sufficient to cool the throats of a
flock of giraffes-ice cold, fizzy, flavor
ed with %"strobry," 'razbry," cherry"
peach or pineapple"
Um-m
They may not seem so imposing here,
with soda fountains on every impor-
tant business corner, but-oh, boy !
won't they be sample packages of
heaven to the American boys over in
the war zone? Over there where, if
reports be true, drug stores, masquer-
aiding as chemists shops, try to get by
with nothing but drugs.
Frances pet drinks, champagne and
red wine, are going to turn an absinthe
green with jealousy this summer when
the great American drink begins fixing
along the battle front and going over
the top of the glasses. And the as
surance of at least a million fruit-fla-
vored drinks as a starter is found in
the cabled order just received by G. V.
Hubbard, general secretary of the over
seas department of the Y. M. G.. A.
war work council, from the organiza-
TONS official in France. The mes
sage follows:
"Send quickly concentrated fruit
sirups for one million summer drinks"
And the Y. NJ. C. A. wal work coun-
ell has a way of sending quickly any
thing ordered sent quickly. So it is
a sure thing that when the heat begins
to give the American soldier boys an
awful thirst, they will turn gratefully
from the trenches to the "Y" huts
where they received hot chocolate last
winter, and there they will clamor for
a "strobry," or a 'razbry sody."
Possibly to assure plenty of foam,
the same cablegram ordered the war
work council to send one ton of shaving
soap, while the other creature com
forts for soldiers, among the items re-
quired, were four American pool la
bles, ten tons chocolate bars, ten tons
granulated sugar, ten tons flour, ten
tons assorted cigarettes and five tons
smoking tobacco.

Appreciated British ovstsrs-

AS early as 30 b. G. the fame Of the
British oyster had extended as far
as Rome, and Sallust seems to have
been more impressed by the oyster
than by any other feature of the coun-
try, for he wrote: "The poor Britons-
there is some good in them, after all
they produce an oyster" In so
A. ID. oysters were exported from the
Thames estuary TO Rome, and ever
since that time England has had an
oyster industry Of respectable proper
tons, although for many years the
supply has been inadequate to FIJI
London's gigantic demands, and I'M
%portations from the United States,
Holland and France have been neees-
sary.

FRANCE TO USE RIVER RHINE FOR
 MANY PURPOSES

Lyons, March 1.-The vast project for the utilizati on of the Upper Rhine for water power, for navigation and for irrigation was discussed here today by a commis sion representing the cities and regions interested and a resolution was adopted recommend ing that the concessions for these en- terprises be given to the municipal1- ties and departments concerned Tn preference to private companies.
 If the conclusions of the commits sion are adopted by the government, Paris, Lyons, Marseilles and the de- partments bordering on the Rhine from Switzerland to the Mediterran- can will participate in the work of building and exploiting the water way, irrigating canals and water power plants. Paris alone will utilize 200 900 horsepower from the pro- jected plant at Genissiat, in the de- partment of the Ain, where dam 70 yards high will be built.
 Switzerland, as well as France is interested in the waterway to the Mediterranean, since it will thus have an outlet by water to the sea at the south as well as at the north.

routine of their work this morning and the conversations heard in the subway and other conveyances and public places were of but one topic, the raid. It was with stern visages that they greeted one another. If the Germans had hoped to weaken the morale of the civilian population they made a mistake as excavations and demands for reprisals were heard on all sides. There was no whimpering. no talk of letting up in the war; nothing but the firm resolution to continue fighting.
 How can we make peace with such people as that,'' said gentle old woman in mourning. The women were very brave. To one accustom- ed to the air raids by Entente avia- tors on cities in Belgium and in the occupied territory of France, tho firing of the French anti-aircraft guns against the enemy machines appeared feeble in comparison with the for nidable bombardment which the Ger mans greet the Entente machines.
 This was explained to The Associat- ed Press by a French officer as due to
 
 shrapnel and shells into the sky over a city of the size of Paris as the cas- ualties from the falling of the very shells destined for the enemy might be- larger than the damage done by their own bombs.
 "Of course" said the officer, ''the Germans need have no such scruple; they care little how many French and Belgian civilians they kill"
 During the raid, Montmartre pre- sented an appearance which under less tragic circumstances should have been comical.

.PARISIANS PROUD. OF WORK DONE BY.
 FRENCH AvIATORS.

Paris, March 11-Paris awoke this morning, or rather arose from sleep less beds, with shudder of horror that gradually becrme feeling of rage and a cry for vengeance and re- prisals as the exaggerated stories of the casualties attending the German air were being circulated.
 In spite of the fact that the visit o the raiders had been expected and that friends left one another on these bright moonlit nights with the part ing: Shall we be 'Gotha-ed' tonight ?" the general alarm of the impending air raid first came as a distinct shock but the innate curiosity of the Pari- sian promptly got the better of his prudence and it was not long before there were heads protrduding from nearly every window and the people began sWarming into the streets
 It has now been definitely ascer- tained that the correct number of casualties is thirty-six killed and one hundred and ninety wounded. Four German squadrons crossed the French lines, thirty-two machines in all and it is asserted in German com- HI AAAOA14luCS L1ldI IAlI y lIIO IOuSduu pOuHu Of explosives were rained over the city and it's suburbs.
 The amount of material damage appears to be rather small as com pared with the magnitude of the Ger man endeavor. It was twenty minutes past eleven when the first alarm was sounded and immediately the distant rumbling of the heavy, anti-aircraft guns could be heard in the distance to the north. Gradually it grew near CT and nearer and meanwhile the buzz of the motors of the French airplanes, as one after the other, they rose to meet the on coming Germans in pat tie and circled over the city now and then flashing their lights became louder and louder. It gave the Parf- sians feeling of security and pride.
 "They are sure of a warm reception D said one man in window. q think I'll turn in and let them fight it out. I'll read all about it in the morning papers,"
 Then suddenly, deeper detonations were heard, hollow, muff1ed roars and one knew that som ewhere in the city children and women were being slaughtered. For two long, intermin- able hours they kept at it and then the reports became fainter and fainter, and died out altogether. All Paris was buzzing with excite ment as the people went to the daily

HOW PRESIDENT WILSON KEEPS
 IN CONDITION

Dr. Grayson told me that when he first took charge of the President as his health director, MT. Wilson was not a little averse to taking any sort of exercise. However, the doctor early succeeded in impressing upon M" Wilson the fact that his health was the most important factor in the grilling duties which would face him during at least four years, and that health was vital not only to him but to the welfare of the entire country. When golf was prescribed as one form of exercise, he was told that t was not to be undertaken as a test of skill, as in playing match with a companion, nor would he be playing for any special score, or for any goal whatever, except the goal of health for the good of the United States; which now has turned out to be for the whole world.
 The President has dislike almost akin to abhorrence for mechanical appliances for the purpose of exercis- ing the muscles of the body. There is not a dumbbell or an Indian club or a medicine ball or a punching bag or a turning bar or trapeze or lifting or pulling apparatus or muscle exercising machine of any sort or description to be found in any part of the White House for the use of the President. The absolutely only mechanical device used by the | President in his exercises is a simple unoffending golf club.
 The major part of the President physical exercise is taken as play play for the. sake of the play as well as for the more material cons1dera- l ton of conserving health.
 Except for a number of important and essential indoor exercises, or upon occasions when extremes of weather conditions prevent, the Presl- | dents physical activities are practlc- ed in the fresh air of the out-o1- doors. MT. Wilson fully agrees with | the saving of pr. Grayson that "the l outside of a horse is good for the in- 1 side of a man." Nor could the health
 wise Admiral have so clearly put into
 a volume the philosophy of health i'm piled in that one phrase.

 In cases of severe chest colds, bronchitis, tonsilitis or incipient pneu- monia, first apply hot wet towels to open the pores. VapoRub is then ab- sorbed through and stimulates the skin, taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest
 One rubbing with VapoRub usually relieves croup within 15 minutes and an application at bedtime prevents a night attack. For head colds, hay fever, catarrh or asthmatic troubles, VapoRub can either be applied up the nostrils or a little melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled.
 The progressive druggists here arc anxious that their customers should try this new treatment, and are, there. fore, offering VapoRub on 30 days trial.

FORCED TO LABOR
 FOK THE GERMANS

The correspondent of the Times at Amsterdam writes:
 At Blankenbridge, the Germans 1orceo great number of servants to leave their situations and tried to compel them to take up the work of unloading, docking, and transporta- ton Tor the army. The young girls refused and were shut up in the Ho- tel BeIVedere, which serves as q. pris- on. Most of them persisted in their refusal and were liberated; they were requlsltioned again and sent to diff Ierent places, even to the wall of the port ot Zeebrugge in order to work there for the Germans Daughters or farmers and the bourgeoise from the surrounding country have also been requisitioned

 The Rheinische Westfalische Zei- tung recently contained a communi- cation emanating from the Labor Ex- change of Cologne, which said in part:
 Industry meets with more and more difficulty in procuring artisans difficulties that can be remedied only In so far as the supply of labor per. mlts. The central intelligence office for manual labor asked at once that foreign artisans should be called or for aid. These artisans will not be able to replace entirely the German workmen, to say nothing of their de | mands in respect to wages, which ar; i very often in inverse ratio to thai, capacities. Experience, moreover, ha still to teach us whether the employ ment of women from the occupie, territories will be of advantage fo the intuition industries. The deman, for women workers in the metalIurgi industry as well as in chemical an, explosive industries, is very great, an, the supply, according to the figures is still diminished"

VIRGINIUS MAYO
 OF NEW HAVEN WEDS EX-TYPIST

Stamford, Conn.,, March 11.-A mar fiage license was issued here the fore part of last week, it was learned Fri day, to Virginius L. Mayo, a New Ha- ven manufacturer and Lois D. Wa terbury, who also gave her address as New Haven Under the Connecticut law persons from out of town obtain ing a marriage license must wait five days before the ceremony can be per formed. Mayo has been living in New York, it is understood.
 New York, March 1.-The name of Lois D. Waterbury was first linked with that of Virginius L. Mayo during the investigation into the suicide at New Haven of Lillian May Cook, a stenographer employed in his office. Her body was found at West Rock in March, 1915.
 Mayo was dissolved by the Connect icut States attorney of criminal re- sponsibility for her death, but the in quiry brought to light for the first time the story of his affairs with var ious women.
 It developed that he made weekly trips to Brooklyn, where he spent most of his time at house he owned in the fashionable Park Slope section, which was occupied by a woman known to the neighbors as Mrs. Dud- ley" With her were two children shs acknowledged were hers. Mrs. Dud- ley' proved to be Miss Waterbury, once a stenographer for Mayo.
 As another result of Miss Cook s suicide came the discovery by Mrs Florence Mayo of Scranton that Mayo was the man she had married in 1S9( when he was a widower with one child.
 She charged that he deserted her 8 few years later, leaving her witl three little girls to support. She hac supposed he was dead. She divorced him.
 When the Mrs. Mayo in Scranton claimed him as her husband. Mrs Wilhelmina Meyer Mayo, who hat supposed herself his wife for severa years, sued him for breach of promis and was awarded a verdict of $1OO,OO damages last october. The verdic avs upheld by the courts in spite o his efforts to have it reduced. Sh also met Mayo while working for hin as q stenograp apher.
 Friends of Mayo in New Have, were amazed at the revelations of hi double life. He was highly respecte as a business man and gave liberall to charities. He was reputed to hay amassed a fortune in automobiles an in patents on radiator devices.
