It Is related here that recently

to Florida was filled with bottles
OF liquor. When 1t reached its
destination It was found that the
safe had been opened en- route and
its contents taken. One citizen,

SOLDIER CREATES
EVENING GOWN
Y. M. C.. A. Entertainer Pos
sesses Only One of
It's Kind

Coblcnz, June 10.-Probably the
only Y. M. G. A. entertainer in
Germany in possession of an even
ing gown which is the creation of a
doughboy is Miss Paula Lind Ayers,
formerly a concert singer in New
York City.
Her trunk was lost on one of her
trips, and she found herself on the
opening night of a big "Y" theater
with only a uniform to wear. A SER
geant who had been a clerk in one
OF the big shops in New York Of
fered to cut-and make her gown. He
had never made gowns, he eX-
planned, but he had seen it done,
and it looked easy to him.
A committee of doughboys accom-
panied Miss Ayers on her shopping
tour in the village, and voted for
some rather violently rose-tinged
material as their choice for the
frock. Within three hours the SER
geant had the dress made, and that
night boys hung from the rafters
of the new theater to hear Miss
Ayers sing and to see her gown, the
fame of which had spread through
the division.
II never in my life had a dress
that I liked better" Miss Ayers de-
clares.

'13 COLLEGES
FOR SOLDIERS
Experiment at Beaune, France,
Proves to Be a Big
Success,
Correspondence of The A,soeiatcd Press

Correspondence of The Associated Press
Beaune, France, June 10.-The
possibility of making the United
States Army a great educational me-
dunn for all America has been DEM
onstrated by the American Expedi-
the opinion of leading educators in
that institution. Their experience in
two months of it's sessions has con-
vinced these instructors that the
great experiment has pointed way
to universal education in the United
States.
The university soon must close.
for its students are going home to
America to be demobilized. Yet
what it has done and still is doing
at this writing will perhaps serve as
a guide to the development of an
Army educational system yet to be
worked out in America.
More than $500 American soldiers
have since March Is been obtain
ing higher education in this uni
versity as a gift from Uncle Sam.
The institution was composed of
thirteen colleges with 5S4 instruc-
tors and offered 303 courses of study,
any of which the soldiers might elect
to pursue. Itowas unique in respect
to the fact that it's entire student
body was clad in khaki, that the stu
dents slept in Army cots, fifty or
sixty in hut, with their rifles slung
beneath them. They rose for the
days studies at the call of the bugle
and marched to their schoolrooms in
companies.
Outside the schoolrooms Army dis
cipline prevailed, but in them the
Army was forgotten and a private
was as good as a captain.
The directors of these thirteen
colleges were distinguished educa-
tors in America and the grade of
instruction given at Beaune was re-
garded as equivalent to university
work in America. Entrance exami-
nations were not required. The
word of the applicant that he had
had high school education was the
sole requirement and this was waived
if he had had it's equivalent

'DON'TS" ISSUED
TO AVOID FIRES
American Forestry Associa-
ton Publishes Series of
Precautions

Washington, June 10.-Now is tn,
time to stop the forest fires by no
having any, says an announcement
from the American Forestry Asso
citation. The fire in Minnesota las
year is still fresh in the public mine
and when it is estimated that the
fire loss in 1918 was 2S,500,00O ano
that 100000 acres were burned
every precaution should be taken by
summer campers, says the associa'
ton.
Here are some "don'ts" to be
pasted up on every tent door
flap:
Don't throw your match away
until you are sure it is out.
Don't drop cigarets or cigar
butts until the glow is eXtin-
guished.
Don't knock out your pipe
ashes while hot or where they
will fall into dry leaves or other
inflammable material.
Don't build a camp fire any
larger than is absolutely neces-
sary.
Don't leave a fire until you
are sure it is out, if necessary
smother it with earth or water.
Don't burn brush or refuse in
or near the woods If there is
any chance that the fire may
spread beyond your control, or
that the wind may carry sparks
where they would start a new
fire.
Don't be any more careless
with fire in the woods than you
are with fire in your own home.
Don't beidle when you dis
cover a fire in the woods: if
you cannot put it out yourself
get help. Where a forest guard,
ranger, or state fire warden
can be reached, call him up on
the nearest telephone you can
find.
Don't forget that human
thoughtlessness and negligence
are the causes of more than
half of the forest fires in this
country. and that the smallest
spark may start confiagration
that will result in loss of life nd
destruction of timber and young
growth valuable not only for
lumber but for their influence
in helping to prevent flood,
erosion and drought
The association points out that
the old ounce of prevention still
beats the pound of cure in the for
ests, now being fast depleted.
