Americans NAre
AmeriCanizinu CobIenz

If the American army of occupa-
ton remains much longer in Coblenz
it will be a well-Americanized city,
If one may believe what one reads
in the German papers. One CORE
spondent at Coblenz in writing to
his Berlin paper says:
THE Americans are omnipresent.
In the main streets the American ell
ement prevails over the German. The
color scheme is fully dominated by
the eternally self-same gray-green.
AS an individual figure the uniform
ed American is by no means an I'M
attractive feature of the landscape.
AS a rule he is a well-set-up fellow
with fresh coioring. Instead of Gre
ating the impression that his uni
form has been issued from a huge
stock, it seems from it's smart cut
and excellent fit to have been made
to measure in every case.
1.-THE shops are just now filled
with an amazing quantity of attrac-
tive articles, especially luxury goods,
and they are proving continuously
tempting to the American troops. In
private conversation one hears from
these reserved and taciturn foreign
ers words of establishment over the
variety and cheapness of Coblenz
shops. One of the most salable ar
ticleS among the German population
is an American textbook.

Parents Horribly Abuse
Their Own DAUGHTER

One of the worst cases of brutality
in the history of Fort Wayne, Ind,
was recorded in police court when
William Pheifer and his wife were
sentenced last week for beating their
child.
The evidence showed that the child.
a girl of years, had been gagged
her hands and feet tied and then
beaten. Dr. Rawls, who attended the
child, testified that he found forty
three fresh wounds from a recent
beating. 1t was alleged by the par
, ents that the child had been guilty
of stealing.
The evidence showed that Mrs.
Pheifer, who was a stepmother of the
child, had kept food for herself and
husband apart from that for the child
and they said the child took some of
their food.
The police are looking for an IL
year-old son of the Pheifers' who has
disappeared and there appears to be
no trace of his whereabouts.
Judge MungoVan sentenced the ia
Their to six. months in jail and a fine
Of $500 and the mother was penalized
500 and given a SiXty-day sentence.

MEXICAN GIRLS SHOW AMERICAN GIRLS
WHAT THEY OVERLOOKED IN BUSINESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-American
women have taken but little advan-
tage of the unusual business oppor-
tunities their country offers.
This is the conclusion of three sis
ters, Geneveva, "a; Gaudaloupe, D.
and Luz Rioseco, 10, three Mexican
girls who sought refugein the United
States when revolutions started pop
ping in Mexico with considerable reg
ularity.
Reared in luxury, the sisters had
not been taught to make their living.
Loss of income made it imperative.
Standing in front of San Francis
co store window, GeneVeva observed
a display of women's waists.
81 can make a more artistic waist
than any of those" she said.
Then the three sisters remembered
they had learned to do simple sew
ing. A few days later they were
making waists in a big factory. A
years experience made them adopts
in sewing and designing.
Today they are proprietors of one
of San Francisco'S most exclusive
waist factories. Geneveva Rioseco is
manager, one sister is designer and
the other superintendent of the work
rooms supplying some of the larger
and better known California shops.
The sisters have hired a corps of
travelling statesmen who solicit trade
in other coast cities; they have in
stalled up-to-date machinery, bought
with profits from their business ven
ture, and the girls come to work each
day in luxurious automobile.
NATURALLY a girl knows more about
what a woman demands in the way
of finery than man does" says Miss
Geneveva. I'VE pay attention to the
little details a man would overlook
but which a woman customer never
does We have always worn pretty
clothing, so we know just about what
strikes woman's fancy. That's what
we produce-and SELL"

another a brunette and the third
about half way between. Hence they
can be their own models for colors,
combinations and fetching designs.
