 MORE CLOTHES

'lt is our patriotic duty to put on more clothes" declared Dr. Jean cite F. Throckmorton, of Claritan, Iowa, in an address delivered re- gently before the Public Health Ad- ministration section of the American Public Health Association.
 "There are fashions not only in dress, but in trend of thought and morals" Dr. Trockmorton con- tinued, "The impulse which moved our primitive ancestors to adopt dress were, first vanity, next pro tection, and lastly modesty. Of these, that of protection seems most often disregarded by the gentler sex. The custom of wearing sum mer clothing in winter is per nicious one, and the continual chill ing of the skin causes congestion of the internal organs with attendant ills.
 Erect carriage and goat are i'm portant qualities and are influenced by the style of corset and shoes worn.
 "Dress and morals are intimately associated and modesty in dress ap- pears in demand but little at pres ent. Our adolescent daughters often use poor judgment not only in dress but in conduct.

PITTSBURC TRACTION
 MAGNATES ON WARPATH

PlTTSBuRG. Grading streets and giving them marks as is done with pupils in the public schools is the plan used in the citys petition to force the Pittsburg Railways com pany to spend $626,447 in track and equipment improvements. Some of the company's tracks are graded as low as 30 per cent, this representing the west stretches of road. The re ceivers of the company insist that further increases in fare will be ne cessitated if they are forced to i'm prove their equipment.

which increased the naval force l34 percent, there were fewer violations of the navy regulations. The per centage of courtsmartial decreased from l.75 to 1.17 in the navy and from PIP to 1.2O in the Marine Corps.
 This fine record of the sailors behavior IS revealed in the annual report of Captain George k. Clark, judge advocate general, who also takes occasion to comment the inn proved conditions in naval prisons, which he attributes largely to the efforts of the Welfare League. In referring to excellent conditions at the Portsmouth, N. H., yard, the judge advocate general says the system there was initiated by Thomas Mott Osborne, former sup erintendent of the New York State prison.
 Less promising results were noted of the probation system, only 55 per cent of the men so released completing the period of probation against Fl per cent in the preceding year.

GERMAN PLAN AROUSED
 BELCIANS TO UNITY

BRUGES.-The one time German governor of Belgium Won Bissing, rendered Belgium signal service by endeavoring to exploit his plan of splitting the country into two parts by his scheme of Flemish au- tonomy. Judged from present in- dications it has united Belgium as never before in its history. Before the war there was a well defined Flemish movement, but when Won Bissing attempted to exploit it the Flemish demurred, for they feared the German bearing gifts.
 The number of disciples converted to the policy by Won Bissing is small. Adventures, discontented office seekers and for the most part youths, they are no longer in posi- ton to champion the designs of Won Bissing for they have taken refuge in Germany or Holland where it IS likely they will spend years in exile.

THE AMERICAN NAVY

Some idea of the great work confronting the navy when the United States entered the war is set forth in the annual report of Rear Admiral Earle. chief of ord nance, made pubic recently. To this bureau alone fell the task of ex- pending during single year more than half a billion dollars for guns and equipment
 In discussing seemingly impossible problems, Admiral Earle disclosed that the navy was called upon not only to arm all American war craft, auXlliareS and the merchant fleet, but to provide armament for British, French, Italian, Belgian and Russian shipping. Guns of to , inch caliber were at a premium and the demand for them was ten times greater than the existing capacity for manufacture. A total of 937 craft of all kinds, not in the regular navy, were armed between July L, 1917 and July 1, 1918.
 Gun mounts formed separate knotty problem. The facilities creat- ed for their manufacture met all urgent needs The Linderman Steel and Machine company of Muskegon, Mich, the report stated, delivered 360 mounts for 4-inch guns 28 days ahead of schedule and established record for other manufacturers.
 Only brief reference was made to two of the most striking accomplish ments of the bureau, the designing, building and shipping of the l4-inch rifles on railway mounts which effectually hammered the German rear positions in the closing weeks of the war, and the development of tractor mount for rifles up to T. inch caliber from which the guns could be fired. This latter achieve ment, never attained by the Allied armies, the report said. was hailed in France with even greater satis- faction than was the arrival of the first of the l4-inch monsters com prsing the naval batteries.
 Failure to obtain a sufficient supply of depth bombs used by American destroyers, hampered eff cient operations against enemy sub marines. By strenuous efforts, how ever, the shortage was overcome and before war ended. American destroyers were using depth bombs freely, and this the report said, aid ed in curbing German submarine operations in the closing months of the war.
 The fire control equipment used on American war craft is on par with that in any navy. Admiral Earle said, and range finding and sighting devices of the fleet have been greatly improved.
 "The efficiency of our gunnery assisted by these new instruments, he added, "should find our ships in the next sea battle at least equal in gunncry to any enemy
 The first of the l6-inch, 50 cali Der main battery rifles for new d>eadnaughts has been tried out, with uccess that exceeds expecta- tors. fixing this monster of naval warfare as "an exceptionally splendid pie :, cf ordnance" Another new naval weapon, an 8-iEch bomb lhr,, '1g how ger, is being delivered to lestroyc~s or larger craft.

Rev. J. Walter Reynolds preached
yesterday morning at the First

claring that 1t is the mission of the
church to carry a great, united mes
sage to the people of Europe who
have been torn by war And this
message is to be carried to the Cen

nations" >
The church is at the floodtide OF
its spiritual power, as President
Wilson has said" declared Rev. Mr.
Reynolds. rs it to remain at this
floodtide and hold the influence
which it has gained upon the
world? If so, it must be filled with
the spirit of Christ and that is the
spirit of service and of sacrifice.
"The men who return from the
armies will expect service from the
church and the church must give
it, of it expects to make its i'm
press upon their lives. And in sac
flee the church may take its example
from the sacrifice of these men. The
church must sacrifice time, comfort,
money. Every christian should give
all he can in financial way toward
spreading the gospel, certainly not
Hess than one-tenth of his income"

CHAPTER I.
Judge Owl Would Wed.


w INTRY winds were shaking
/ w the easements and causing
queer meanings in the chimney
Peggy, snugly tucked away in her
bed, gave a comfortable shiver as
she listened. The chilly wildness OF
the night made her own warm blan-
kets seem all the more cozy.
She was glad she was safe at
home-glad she didn't have to be
out in the frigid blasts that swirled
around the house. She wondered
how the people of Birdland who had
not gone south would keep warm on
such howly night.
Presently it seemed to Peggy that
the wintry howls we're taking the
form of song. Listening closely,
she found this was true.
Who'll love me? Who'll love me'
Who'll share my hollow tree?"
That is how the song ran. 1t was
strange song for the wind to be
singing and Peggy sat up so that
she might hear more clearly.
Who'll be mine? Who'll be mine?
Come on girls get in line"
Peggy snickered. What funny
wind to be advertising for sweet
heart-and in such a howly way.
Hear NY howl, some nice owl,
Come and be my darling fowl"
Peggy giggled 1t wasn't the
wind at all. 1t was Judge Owl sing
ing love songs out in the stormy
night. Forgetting the cold, she hop

HOW TO GET
RID OF CORNS
A Simple, Safe and Reliable Way.
No Pain or Soreness.

Thanks to a new discovery made from
a Japanese product women will soon be
wearing smaller and prettier shoes than
ever. Corns are to be a thing Of the
past. A new preparation, called Ice-Mint,
is said to make any corn or callous shriv-
ell right up and lift off easily. Hard
corns, soft corns or corns between the
toes can be lifted right out root and all
after a touch or two of Ice-Mint. It's
wonderful No pain and not bit of sore
ness while applying it or afterwards. Peo-
pie are warned to stop cutting and trim
ming their corns and avoid the risk of
blood poison. Simply get a few cents
worth of Ice-Mint from your druggist, and
from the very second that it touches that
sore, tender corn your poor, tired, aching
feet will feel so cool, easy and comfortable
that you will just sigh with relief. Think
of it-just little touch of that cooling.
soothing Ice-Mint and real foot joy is
yours. It is the real japanese secret of
fine, healthy little feet, and is highly ap-
preciated by women who wear high heel
shoes and men who have to stand on their
feet all day.
