drop in at two sittings for any meal
of the day.
From the hotel the recreating soldier
wanders back to the recreation hall,
which now becomes his principal point
of orientation. Here he chats with
American girls who make him feel at
home and point out the afternoons en-
tertainment. There is "Uncle Sans

o'clock and again at seven. There is
the Mittelstrasse theater-continuou
movies both afternoon and evening
and when all this does not appeal there
are athletics of almost every charac-
ter on nearby field From 8 80 to
30 there is music and tea or choeo-
late and cakes in the recreation hall,
and from that time onward there are
music and games inside or outside,
winding up with ice cream and cake
at p. m.
Thus ends in brief outline the first
of three-day leave for the "stay-
abroads" here in Neuwied. In addi-
ton there is large swimming pool
and plenty of baths for those who wish
to take the time.
Saloons Lack Popularity.
There are open saloons in Neuwied.
Soldiers are not barred from drinking
and the saloons are open until 10 p. m.
There is also here an ice cream, cake
and pie factory running full blast for
the exclusive benefit of American sol
diers.
Neuwied's open saloons are not pat
-roniZed much by American soldiers.
Drunkenness has been practically nil,
and the conduct generally of the 3d.
600 is one of the greatest tributes to
American youth and the wholesome in
fuence of fine young American women,
who have inspired with their surround
ings, association and conversation and
general wholesomeness a desire to
make the periodical three-day leave
granted the American soldier in Neu-
wied memory that leaves nothing but
clean thought in the minds of the boys.
The second day of John Doughboy's
three-day leave begins just after break

Indian Leaves War
Dress to Museum

New York.-The American
Museum of Natural History has
recently received as a bequest
the complete Indian dress cos
tune of Chief Don White Eagle,
a Cheyenne Indian, who died in
France while serving as a sol
der in the United States army.
Chief White Eagle, who was
twenty-nine, served with the in
fantry forces. He was one of
four brothers fighting in France.
He was a skilled sharpshooter
and was commended by his gen.
eral for bravery. He died De-
tober 81, 1918, of pneumonia.
The costume consists of
large feather war bonnet, fringed
shirt and leggings, moccasins,
pipe bag and feather-trimmed
standard. All the feather work
was done by White Eagle him.
self. 1t was last worn during
the third Liberty Loan drive
when White Eagle appeared as
a speaker.

amount of cutting done by the front
runner and when to lengthen it in or
der to produce the opposite effect.
When the road surface is sufficient
ly hard or the amount of material
which 1t is desired to have the drag
move is sufficient to warrant the OPP
orator standing upon the drag while 1t
Is in operation, he can greatly facili-
tate it's work by shifting his weight at
proper times. For example, il it is de-
sired to have the drag discharge more
rapidly, the operator should move to-
ward the discharge end of the runners.
This will cause the ditch end Of the
runners to swing forward and thus in
crease the skew angle of the drag.
The operator may, of course, produce
the opposite effect by moving his
weight in the opposite direction. In
the same way, he can partially control
the amount of cutting which the drag
does by shifting his weight backward
or forward, as the case may be.
An intelligent and interested opera
tor will soon learn many simple ways
by means of which he can easily con-
troll the different features of the work
which drag performs, and he will
also learn to utilize effectively every
effort which his team exerts.

When stitchlna SEAM.

When stitching heavy white cotton
or linen, rub the seam to be stitched,
with hard white soap, and the needle
will not cut the material.
To Prevent Pricking the Fingers.
One accustomed to doing needlework
of any kind is aware of the discom-
fort caused by the needle prlcking the
finger which holds the underside OF
the cloth. This can be prevented If the
worker will moisten small strip Of
court plaster and stick it on the end
of the finger.

the material to form an oval leaving
small margin to turn under. Sew to
the new slip, then outline with en-
broidery cotton to conceal stitches.
Outline another row one-fourth of an
inch from the. first and work eyelets
at intervals between the rows to form
medallion. The result is even pref
tier than when first embroidered.
Turning a Dress Skirt.
If skirt has become faded or soiled,
1t can often be turned to good advan-
tage. First, clean it as thoroughly as
possible. Rip one seam, turn and
basic carefully before ripping another.
Ii there are plaits refold, following
the old creases, making what was for
merly the wrong side the right. If the
skirt is good hanging one, any home
dressmaker can do the work satisfac-
torily, for it is not nearly so difficult
task as to make a new one. One
seam at time is much better way
than to rip all the seams apart before
beginning to haste.
When Sewing Taffeta.
Use thin, fine needle for sewing
taffeta. The blunt end of a needle long
used is liable to pucker the goods, and
tne stitches will not be even. A heav-
Ter needle may be used in sewing
China silk.
To Sharpen Scissors.
Cut them rapidly on the neck of a
small glass bottle, or better still, on
ground glass stopper. 1t trues the
edges and makes them cut like new.

blade, being careful to keep the same

ton; Meets Little Favor.

Adoption or rejection of the pro-

Will depend upon whether a ma
Jority of the citizens of this coun-
try vote for or against it, if the
plan proposed insa bill in the House
yesterday by Representative Ernest
Lundeen, of Minnesota, is adopted.
Representative Lundeen proposes
that a national vote should be
polled on the question and that
the majority vote should be ac-
cepted by the Senate as an order
from the people of the nation to
ratify the plan.
The bill provides that the con-
stitution and covenants of the pro-
posed world league of nations shall
nrst be submitted to the voters
OF all the States of the Union; and
the majority of the votes, as cast
for or against the adoption of the
constitution of said league OF ma

the action of the government of
the United States"
The bill provides that the spe-

MOVE FORWARD
BILL TO RETIRE
Measure
Given Preferential Status
by Rules Committee.

Civil Service employees of the gov
ernment were encouraged over the
prospects for the enactment of the
X eating retirement BILL
through the action of the Rules
Committee yesterday in giving the
measure a preferential status.
That the bill will be passed by
the House seems assured since 1t
can be called up for action once the
appropriation measures are out of
the way and the unanimous report
of the Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee favoring its pass
age is assurance it will receive
favorable consideration.
Employees are now turning their
attention towards securing a vote
in the Senate. Senator McKellar
made an unsuccessful effort yester-
day to have II brought up for con-
sideration. He will renew his Cf-
forts should the bill pass the House.
Senator Pomerenc of Ohio, favors
retirement legislation. but he is not
entirely satisfied with the terms OF
the pending measure and may block
its passage at the present session
unless it is materially amended to
remove his objections.

SAY U. S. PRESS
WRONGS FRENCH
Paris Editors Object to Ad-
verse Comment on Peace
Negotiations.

Paris. Feb. 24.-'PIaying with
fire., epitomizes French comment
regarding the section of the Amer
lean press which has be0me sud-
denly and violently anti-French.
Practically every Paris newspaper
has taken up the gauntlet.
THE attitude of the American
press has been overlooked for a
time because the accusations
against the French were merely a
passing ill-humor," said the Oeuvre.
But the aCrimony apparently is
being developed systematically.
Therefore, at the risk Of making
the accusation seem real, we must
refute it. Tho attitude here seems
to be that our relations are i'm
periled by such writings"
The journal Des Debats declares
the clouds from America" and
denies France is hindering the
peace work, saying she wants a
peace of right and justice with her
whole heart" and that the tone OF
a certain section of the American
press must not render this peace
difficult"
ExtollinE President Wilson, Au-
guste GauOin, writing in the same
middle-class paper. cites the Presi-
dents remark that "onc OF the ad-
vGntages of our meetings and con-
versatiOns is the discovery that,
after all, we are thinking the same
thing"

ties of adverse press comment from

The War Council of the American
Red Cross yesterday appropriated
100000 to cover relief work in
Poland during the six months end
ing July 81. Announcement of the
appropriation was almost simultan-
eous with that OF the arrival in Po-
land of the American Red Cross
Commission which is to spend the
money in helping to relieve the ap-
palling conditions which a survey
has disclosed there. The Red Cross
work will supplement that of the
Hoover Commission to Poland which
has undertaken the revitaillment OF
the stricken country.
In addition to providing special
food for children and sick persons
and relieving the immediate needs
of those in destitute circumstances
the Red Cross will establish dis
ponsaries in five or six of the prin-
Cipal cities and distribute clothing.

among the needy. Drugs and medi-
cal equipment for the dispensaries
and supplies for the general relief
work are now being transported to

ject to Salary Commission
of Defeated Solons.

Government employees are dissatls-
fed and propose to work against the
creatio nof a lame duck" commits
sion to reClassify salaries OF Federal
workers employed in the District OF
Columbia.
The plan to create this commission
to comprise members OF Congress who
failed of reelection to the Sixty
sixth Congress is provided in an
amendment to the legislative bin,
which has passed the House and Sem
ate and is now in conference.
Would Get Same Pay.
Under the terms of the amendment
introduced by Senator Jones, the com
pensation for the members of the
commission would be fixed at S625 per
month, the same pay which members
of Congress receive and they would
begin their work March or im-
mediately after the present Congress
expires. The President of the SEN
ate and the Speaker of the House
are empowered to appoint three mem-
berS of their respective bodies to the
commission. 1t is provided the pre-
liminary report be ready for consider
alton at the opening of the regular
session Of the SINty-slNth Congress
in December.
The objection of the organized EN-
plOyes to the plan is the limitation
placed upon the selection of the com
mission. Many members of Congress
who We're defeated for reelection or
retire with the present session would
not consider such an appointment
and thus a very limited group remains
from which TO pick the personnel OF
the commission. 1t is pointed out that
the opposition is not AGAINST the re-
classification but rather to bring
about greater latitude in the appoint
mcnt Of the commission
There are many outside of official
life. competent and willing to serve
on the commission and the employees
feel that better results would accrue
with the jobs open for others than
former members of Congress.
