GENERAL MARCH WANTS 100000 MEN


Americas military contribution
toward maintenance Of the League Of
Nations will be approximately 100000
men, in the opinion of Gen. Peyton G.
March, chief of staff Of the army. He
expressed this view in testifying be-
fore the senate military affairs COM
mittee.
"If all Of the other nations unite
and do their share, should say the
United States could fulfill its 0bliga-
tons with 100000 men," General
March said.
The committee learned from Cen
eral March that none Of the European
nations is restoring its armies to the
antebellum basis, despite the organiza-
tion Of the League Of Nations to main
tain peace. Great Britain, for instance,
has fixed the strength of its army at
952 600 men, to be raised by conscrip-
tlon. This is nearly four times the
size Of the British army before the war.
General March said President Will
son had not communicated any inf0rma

TAR REMOVED FROM MACHINE
Almost impossible to Run Over New
Roads or Pavements Without
Getting Some on Car.

1t is hardly possible to drive ma
chine over newly tarred roads or pave
ments without getting at least some Of
the tar on the body. If treated in time
the spots are not difficult to remove.
The machine should be washed to elm
mate all the grit, and carefully dried
with chamois, so that the tar will not
smear. A little vaseline applied over
each spot and worked in with the
fingers will help to remove the stains.
A thorough wash with body soap and
finish polish in the usual manner
completes the operation.

ly keeps his business alive because Of
inferior delivery methods.
The farmer, too, has learned that
the quick handling Of his product Is
a vital consideration. For instance,
take the case Of the dairy farmer who
now makes two deliveries day with
his motor truck In less time than he
used to be able to make three deliv-
cries a week. His milk is sweeter, the
price is higher. And so 1t goes all
along the line, the motor truck has
proved not only its speed, but its econ
omy.
Increased Use Of Trucks.
There can be no doubt in the mind
of anyone who makes serious study
Of transportation conditions as they ex-
list the country over, but that the next
few years will see an amazing increase
in the use Of trucks. Because speed,
economy and adaptability to varied
work will be vital considerations 1t
seems certain that the greatest de-
mand will be for moderately light-duty
vehicles.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1919-07-10

When the necessity for moving war
essentials simply overwhelmed the
railroads and paralyzed shipping con-
ditions, the world was brought to a
realization of what motor trucks could
accomplish in emergencies. Thousands
of business men learned the answers
to their individual transportation prob
lens and will permanently profit by
them. 1t is apparent, on the other
hand, that many others have even vet
failed to come to complete realiza-
tion Of all that the motor truck means
to present and future transportation.
No industry, no business house re-
curing either pickup or delivery can
obtain full success today without the
use Of one or more trucks. The pub
nc demands quick service motor
truck delivery is the solution.
Daily Object Lessons.
Every day the object lesson is driv-
en- home. One merchant increases his
business because Of the dependability
Of his deliveries. His competitor, with
otherwise equally good facilities, bare

To Remove Fruit Stains.


When fruit stains are fresh pour
boiling water steadily through them
and they will usually disappear. If the
water is hard. borax or ammonia in a
small quantity should be added to the
water.
Fruit and wine stains, if dry, should
be soaked in cold water, like tea
stains. Then stretch the stained fabric
over basin, rub with common salt
and pour boiling water through the
stain. Or it can be rubbed with lem
on, instead of using boiling water. Re

moved let the rest wear out. Some
fruit and wine stains, especially those
of apple and pear. and some clarets,
are very difficult to remove. II they
are boiled gently CATER soaking) in
some strong borax and water, well
rinsed, then hung out In the sunshine,
or better, left hanging out during a
frosty night, the stains will disappear.
The articles should be dripping wet
when hung out.
To Remove Grass Stains.
Grass stains will yield to the cologne
application, though a thorough bath
in alcohol is, perhaps, more certain.
Kerosene is another liquid that may
be applied successfully to grass stains,
while some recommend covering the
spots with a paste made from cream
of tartar and water.
This should not be used in the case
of colored goods, as the color is like
ly to disappear.

Suits for summer wear, as first
requirement for good style, must look
cool. Many of them accomplish this
fine beginning and achieve happy
ending by being actually cool; they
are made of loosely woven, light
weight silk or fiber fabrics that are
the least burdensome of hot weather
suitings as well as the most fashion
able. Besides these there are those
unfailing pongees and mohairs< with
advantages of their own to recon-
mend them, and linen is still sin the
running" But in the race for prefer
ence with women of fashion these
long-familiar fabrics have been out
distanced by the newer weaves.
In the two suits shown in the pic
ture the one at the left is typical Of
the style that leads for suits made of
light jersey, silk and silk fiber suit
ings. Straight hanging coats and
skirts less narrow than those made
of the usual wool clothes are the rule
In these suits. The sweater coat is the
model followed in nearly all of them,
to be worn with or without vests. Vests
for midsummer. made Of organdy and
other sheer cottons, often in combina-
ton with narrow laces, take the place
of vests of heavier fabrics that have
had such sweeping popularity. The
cool, three-quarter length sleeve is n
feature of this suit and it is shown
with satin vest having leaf and
lattice design embroidered in gray and
silver. There is narrow sash across
the front of the satin, the ends finish
ed with small flower-like ornaments
made Of silver ribbon.
The suit at the right is conven-
tional tailored model of white cloth
with hair line stripes which may be
In brown, blue, green or black. The
coat, while not straight-llne model,
Is cut on easy but trim lines. This.

Marked Use Of Ribbon,

Marked popularity of ribbons as mill
linery trimmings, especially on walk

the use of ribbon i'll two-tier arrange

out from the base OF the crown, one
fiat on the brim and the other a few
inches above it. This trimming is
placed either at the side or front. In

Once more Mexico is having a sugar
famine. Only fifty cents worth at a

grocery stores in this city. Some of
the stores have none at all for their
customers.
The conditions in regard to sugar at
the present time resembles those OF
last fall and winter and before, dur
ing the war. At that time the situa-
ton is almost identically like that Of
today. The only difference is that now
no record is kept of the sugar used and
you can go to more than n store to
get the fifty cents worth. Just how
long these conditions will exist is not
known. Shipments are being awaited
