WOMEN FOR AID
American Commander Praises Those
of United States for Help
Given i'm War.

Coblenz, Monday, March 17.-(By
the Associated Press. PRAISE for
the part taken by American women
in the war was expressed this morn
ing by General John ]. Pershing,
while inspecting five third army
evacuation hospitals here.
without doubt America could
not have carried out her part in the
conflict as she did if it had not
been for the willingness and cour-
age of the nurses and others who
came to care for the sick and
wounded in France and the loyal
support of patriotic women at
home" he said, and despite the
fact that America was in the war
onl va comparatively short time her
medical and hospital service was
not exceeded by that of any foreign
nation"
At each of the five hospitals, he
talked informally to nurses, doctors
and orderlieS, telling them of the
important work still to be done IN
caring for the sick and injured He
talked to many of the patients and
visited virtually all the wards of the
hospitals, where approximately s.
900 Americans are patients. These
hospitals were erected b ythe Ger
man government and used by rae
enemy during the war.
At one hospital, the commander
in chief visited a number of Amer
lean soldiers, who are neuras-

TEACHER EXAMS
FOR This week
County Quiz win he Held Thurs
day and Friday Under Direc-
ton OF Miss Harris.

Examinations for county school
teachers will be given at the court
house Thursday and Friday Of this
week.
The quiz Will be supervised by
Miss Lou NJ. Harris, county sup
erintendent of schools, and viii be
based upon questions furnished by
the state board.
An unusually large number OF
teachers are expected 10 present
themselves for the examinations
Miss Harris estimating that fully
As or 80 will endeavor to qualify
themselves for positions in the
county schools. Only a little over
half this number have been exam
ined in the past, the increase being
attributed to conditions resulting
from the ending of the war. :
The exams TO be given this weei
have been postponed several time;
previously on account of the in.
fluenza epidemic and it's accom-
panying quarantine and ban on al
public meetings.
Last year, for the first time, E
shortage was experienced by Miss
Harris in filling county school pu-
sitions. Many teachers engaged
in better paying lines Of WORT
which were available due to wal
conditions and scarcity Of labor.

OTHER PROJECTS
FOR HOUSES ARE
NEAL FINISHED

With hundreds of houses being
built in the tri-cities by the United
States housing corporation, it is
interesting here to note what has
been accomplished elsewhere in
the country under the same plan. A
department of labor statement tell
ing of many housing projects near
ing completion says:
1.-The United States housing cor
poration, department of labor, is
receiving satisfactory reports con-
corning the progress of its various
housing projects. Already a consid-
cradle number of its buildings are
completed and in use. In Quincy,
Mass, 81 dormitories, housing 966
men, have been occupied to their
full capacity for over a month, and
in them there are being served ap-
proximately 1900 meals daily.
"Of the So houses which are being
erected on the Sylvan avenue tract
in Waterbury, Conn, all are in
closed and, if present expectations
carry, will be fully completed early
in April.
'In New Brunswick, N. j., there
are being erected 76 tile and stucco
buildings, to house 1872 families.
Practically all the buildings are In
closed, and over half of them are
already succeed.
THE project at Bremerton, Wash.
is of radically different sort, but
is progressing no less satisfactorily
Two hundred and forty-five frame
i houses are being built, and, in ad-
dition, a hotel of 35 rooms and three
apartment houses accommodating
As families. The last report indi-
Gates that of the houses are COM
pleted, a total of IA having rece1v-
ed their plaster, and 231 are IN
closed.
AT Indianhead, Md, 81 of the 100
houses are under way with a num-
Der already plastered. The estimat-
ed date of completion is April 20.
ain Philadelphia there is an ex-
tensive project including $50 brick
ROW" houses, lighted by electricity
and heated by hot air or steam. The
report last submitted to the general
manager of the housing corporation
states that 262 of the houses are
fully inclosed and that 159 are plas-
tered.
zone of the cities that has been
foremost in beginning to solve aft
er-the-war problems is Portland,
Ore, which is cooperating in the
building campaign of the United
States department of labor. Accord
ing to plans the city will construct
not less than 1000 houses this
year.
Portland now has a population
of $4,000, and since the census of
1910 has added 100000. In 1911, s.
224 houses were built, aggregating
in value $7.915, 25O,000. From that
year to 1917 the records show a de-
creasing amount of construction.
The first year of the war, 1914, only
!. 429 houses were erected and in
1917, when the United States enter
ed the world conflict, the number
had fallen to 234 with a constantly
increasing population. In 1918 there
was a slight rise in building, 568
dwellings beoing constructed.
Oregon is the source of an i'm
mense lumber supply and there is
an abundance of skilled labor. For
that reason the outlook is reported
to be most encouraging for building
activities that will absorb at least
part Of the surplus labor"

GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good
for Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old fashioned mustard
plaster burned and blistered while it
acted. Get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the
plaster and without the blister.
Musterole does it. Il is a clean,
white ointment, made with oil of mus
tard. 1t is scientifically prepared, so
that it works wonders, and yet does
not blister the tenderest skin.
Gently massage Musterole in with the
finger-tips. See how quickly it brings re-
Ief-how speedily the pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat bron-
chitis, tonsilitis. Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges-
ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill
blains, frosted feet, colds of the chest
