 RUSH FOR BLANKETS
Army Disposes of 5O,OOO From Surplus Stock-Receipts Total About
 $25O,00O.

New York, Aug. 22.-Tnree thou sand persons stood sweltering in the sun yesterday afternoon at Pier 12, Hast River, foot of Wall street. Close ly packed in three lines, they waited for hours to carry home woollen and cotton blankets from the army's sur plus.
 About two scores of women fell from the ranks when they became faint and had to be helped away by police men. At one time there were as many as a dozen being attended at the upper end of the pier.
 The crowds exceeded the expecta- tions of the army officers in charge. At o'clock there were about three hundred present. It was 1O:30 before any blankets were distributed. About 0,000 blankets were delivered, in cluding those ordered previously, and the days receipts amounted to near ly quarter of a million dollars.
 With a larger personnel working and additional space, bigger sales may be made. A counter about 100 feet long and two aisles, one for en- tering and the other for leaving, make up the salesroom. Barses carry the bales of blankets from Gov ernor's Island to the pier. William men.
 No more orders will be received until further nOtice," said Capt. A. A. Stewart, officer in charge of sur plus army stores.

charged turned on the hot water and left the room.
 When the nurse returned she found the baby unconscious and his body scalded. The nurse grew hysterical,
 then tainted.
 Dr. Curran of the Rockaway Beach
 hospital took the baby there, where it
 died soon after the arrival. Patrolman Lovett, who went to the kilmartin home to arrest the nurse, found her still hysterical and unable
 to answer questions and took her to the hospital. If she has recovered sufficiently she will be arraigned to- day.
 The police say though they decided to hold Miss Mion on the technical charge of homicide, they do not know whether the baby or the nurse turned on the boiling water. The parents of the baby were not in the bathroom at the time.

Police Accuse Trio of Kidnapping Driver and Taking Army Wagon

New York, Aug. 22.-Stolen mer- chandise valued at more than $15,- 900 was recovered by the police yes- terday for the American Railway Ex- press company, and two alleged mem- bers of gang who kidnapped the express driver and escaped with his truck and it's contents on Wednes- day night were arraigned in the Tombs court yesterday on charges of robbery.

He was beaten and dragged from his seat, he told the police, and was fin ally made senseless by chloroform, some of which got into his throat in the struggle and burned and pos- oned him. Two of the robbers placed
 
 lowed the truck from the Twenty sixth street branch. At Forty seventh street and Tenth avenue Griffin was thrown from the speeding car when he revived from the effects of the drug and again fought the thieves.
 Soon after the attack and robbery McEwen, one of the prisoners ar raigned, who was a helper on Grif- fms truck repOrted the robbery at the Beach street station. Detective Lahey kept him under surveillance and when Griffin denied McEwen's assertion that he had also been seized by the robbers. he was ques- tioned. Lahey said McEwen finally confessed to complicity in the express robbery plot
 Following the examination of Mo. Ewen at the station the police went to 512 West Forty eighth street, a stable, where they found the entire ninety stolen express packages. Par ker was arrested there.

ARMY MULE STILL KICKS,
Equipment of Troops With Motors
 Docs Not Eliminate Him.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The chief of the motor transport corps mas been authorized by the war department to equip fully the first seven divisions of the regular army with motor trans portation. Motor vehicle equipment will be issued in quantities limited to the mounts necessary, not tC exceed that prescribed in tables of organiza- tion for 1918.
 The limitations mentioned are a temporary oxpeCient Iending applied tion Of a system which will provide for motor allowances based on the weight of 1aticrs, ammunition and other supplies.
 Consequently the authorization to equip the seven GivisiCns now mere skeletons, does not mean that the traditional army mule is to be entirely eliminated OF that tftre will be no further use for military and pack horses.

 then you will know what a very easy
 matter it is to transform it. Begin
 by eliminating the sleeves. After that, substraCt about two inches from
 the skirt somewhere between hip line
 and knee. And then fill in the gaps
 with the contrasting stuff. You might
 also do a little something different
 to the bodice part, like treating it to some straight decorative stitch cry after the manner of the bodice
 pictured.
 But a real herald of spring is the
 last little model of the charming
 group, with it's delightfully."- chic sug- gestion of the eton. And a very easy
 thing it would be to effect from a simp1e-bloused dress to begin with.
 Alteration here means separating bo-
 dice from skirt and cutting to eton jacket length in back, then sub tracing a, fuu-length panel from the front, and filling in the omission with 3 sham underdress the front of which is made of a stuff to contrast with the outer garment. Flannel and satin ought to result in a won Gerfuuy successful costume along these lines, the satin going into the eton part.

PHILOSOPHY OF SEX

earnest effort to redeem the subject of sex from unclean associations and raise it to it's proper high place.
 Education, of course, includes moral training and the establishment of proper social relations. When respect able women cease to condone the in discretions of youth, so called, and shall demand the same high standards from men, as those which they them selves observe, fewer wild oats will be sown and a cleaner manhood, moral and physical, will be the result, for it is unquestionaibly true that young ambitious men live up (to a certain degree at IeasD to the stand ards set for them by society.
 From the Yale Record we quote:
 MODESTY When every pool in Eden was g mir
 TOT
 That unto Eve her dainty charms
 proclaimed,
 She went undraped without a single
 Thought that she had need to bs
 ashamed. Twas only when she'd eaten of the apple, That she became inclined to be prude.
 And found that evermore she's had
 to grapple
 With much debated problems ot the nude.
 Thereafter she devoted her atten- ton.
 Her time and all her money to her clothes,
 And that was the beginning of con- vention,
 And modesty, at least. so I sup pose.
 Reactions come about in fashions re- cent; ! Now girls conceal so little from 1 the men 1 That il would seem, to get back to l the decent, ! Some serpent ought to pass the fruit again. 1 For more details on the social, 1 medical psychics. economic and other ] aspects of the subject of sex, the 1 studious reader may be referred to i the writer's book-''Timely Truths l On Human Health. Your name and i address and postage stamp will bring 1 to you more information regarding this truth-telIing volume.)

And again we COEIe to one of those 1antaIizing between-seasOns when it's just a. bit too early to invest In 3 brand new frock, but when the old one certainty looks that way. So wisdom dictates that something be done in the way of reuvenating what one has on hand.
 Here is a. trio of ideas, one or other of which ought certainly to fit your particular case, or. better, maybe, your particular old frOck.
 Now, there's positive magic in the right touch of contrast, and what T magic little way to introduce it is the way of the deep-coIlared, cufed and banded dress to the left.
 Just picture all that trimming done with black satin, for instance, on a background of navy tricotine, will you? Or. fancy 1t in tan duvetyne against a frock otherwise cococa- colored satin. As for the frock it. self, the chief virtue of it is it's sim pIictty, the entirely plain matter of a kimono-sleeved bodice attached to a straight twO-p piece skirt.
 Now there's an especially charm ing chance to use some black satin with some woolen stuff in the center dress pictured, You might, for ex- ample, have on hand 9, chenise.

If one wants to make quite sure of being distinctive and yet conserva- tive, one thinks less of ones clothes individually, and more about ones costume. Now this coat, for instance, is most conservatively smart in itself, but worn with a matching hat it be- comes part of a very striking cos tune.
 Paprika- -co1ored velour or duvetye, with black buttons and black fringe on the coat, and dashes of black em- broidery on the hat, is suggested for the development of this chic out fit.
 Neither hat nor coat. as you can quite plainly see for yourself, has any peculiar difficulties to baffle the anna teur dressmaker. The former is but the simplest of tam models secured to a stiffened and extremely narrow brirn that rolls.
