TO BETTER
U. S. HOSPITALS
Red Cross Committee to
Visit Every Debarkation
in Country.

For the purpose of improving
wherever possible the service of the
Red Cross in the forty-three general
hospitals where wounded American
fighting men are receiving care, an
official committee from national head
quarters of the American Red Cross
will leave Tuesday on a tour of in
spection which will cover every geo.
graphical corner of the country.
The committee follows: Col C. H.
Connor, assistant director general of
military relief and chairman of the
medical advisory committee, chair
man; Mrs. W. K. Draper. of New
York, chairman of the woman's ad-
visory committee of the Red Cross
Laning Harvey, associate director Of
the Bureau OF Camp Service; Mrs.
Joseph Cudahey, of Chicago, member
of the woman's advisory committee.
Debarkation hospitals where wound
ed soldiers, Marines and sailors are
being received from overseas will be
visited first.
To Facilitate Location.
One of the incidental concerns of
the committee will be to facilitate the
location of a wounded man on his ar
TlNdi. y SySlcLn NOil-
sidered, whereby the moment a
wounded man arrives his case will be
recorded and the information impaired
to the proper gencies. At present
there is occasionally delay in locating
a man, due in great part to some
peculiar phase of his condition. De-
barkation hospitals are in a measure
distribution hospitals and the wounded
man is sent as soon as practicable
to the hospital nearest to his home,
provided that hospital is prepared to
handle his type of case. All blinded
men are sent to Baltimore, as there
is but one hospital devoted to such
cases.
The committee will visit Camp Mer-
ritt, n. j., and will be occupied in
the Atlantic Seaboard territory for
several weeks.

HITS WAR GIRL,
PAYS $50 fine
H. Lane Hailed Into
Court for Evicting Ruth
NJ. Whiteside.

Charles H. Lane, a travelling sales
man. living at 451S Fifteenth street
northwest, was fined $50 yesterday in
Police Court by Judge John p. Nc
Mahon for asslulting pretty Ruth NJ.
Whitcside, a war worker, who had
rented n room in his house.
The case was the first of its sort
that has come to the attention OF
the Police Court since the influx of
war workers. 1t dealt principally
with the right of A war worker to
remain in a room for which she had
paid rept and which was wanted for
another person.
Miss Whiteside testified that on
New Year Eve she went out of town
and returned to her room in Lanes
house at 1870. She also stated that
she had paid for the room up until
January 3. which would allow her to
retain possession of the room for
two days after the assault occurred.
Ordered from House.
On entering her room. Miss White
side testified she discovered that an
other woman was occupying it. this
woman being a cousin Of Lanes. An
argument arose between Miss White
side and Lane. who had awakened
on hearing her come in. and Cul-
minated in Lane ordering Miss White
side out of the house.
She refused to go. Lane then, ac-
cOrding to his own admission, seized
the war worker and threw her out
of the room. Miss Whiteside mar
rOwly escaped being thrown down the
steps by seizing the balustrade. Lane
then violently slapped her and again
ordered her out of the house, it was
testified Miss Whiteside gathered her
effects together and sought refuge in
the home of a friend across the street.
The courts attention was called to
the aggravated nature of the case,
and the $50 fine followed. Lane paid
it.

Expennixe Neckwear.

ENpenatvc Neckweafs
Even though come people have long
ago discarded the idea that Friday
is an unlucky day. there still seems
to be something to it-at least that 8
what Vickory Osbourne thinks.
1t was on last Friday that Vickory
went shopping. She had intended get
ting some shirts for her husband.
She went in a Seventh street depart
ment store and looked around.
Near a counter on which neckwear
was displayed, Vickory saw. SO she
said, two beautiful neckties lying on
the floor. s.
And, to keep people from walking
on them, she picked them up and put
them in her pocket.
She had suddenly remembered that
her hubby needed a couple of neck
ties.
AS she left the store. a stranger
called to Detective Livingston and told
him that Vickory had lifted some
thing.
The detective investigated and found
the neckties where she had put them.
Once before Vickory was arrested.
but no case was made against her.
But this time, she was caught with
the goods. There was no possible way
to get out of it.
The devil got behind her. she said,
and tempted her. Instead of pushing
him away. she stood and listened.
She could have bought the ties for
81 each, but the court charged her s2i
for them, and even then she didn't
get them.

However. the other day. much to
Isaac's surprise, Helen actually talked
back to him.
She told him plainly that he was
holding out part of his salary that

Isaac lit into her and thrashed her
terribly right in front of the baby,
