SERVANT PROBLEM
 BOTHERING FRANCE
Housewives Have Not Yet Learned to Use Labor-Saving Devices
 of America
By Associated Pres,


 Paris. June, IA. The servant nrobIem new to Europe, is sharing newspaper space and private discussion in France with high taxes and revolutions. The women Who went into factories during tne war have not returned to the broom and the pots. The government tax on servants, definitely included in the new tax bill, Is the least of the trouble but It served to bring out long, loud com plaints that there are few servants En- pioyers profess to be willing to pay dou pie and triple pre-war Wages and to recognize the servants new standard of demands.
 Unlike the American housewife the French have not yet taken for granted the general use of electric and gas eouip ment, washing machines. patent kitchen cabinets and all the rest of the labor savers that gives advertisers the cour- age to print pretty pictures of the young prlde in lace apron getting dinner to the music of photograph, while reading book in the breeze of an electric fan. France is taking the servant short age seriously. Erudite surveys of Indo- China and French Africa are being pub llshed to show the availability of other races for household work

GERMAN SPY IS
 SERVING SENTENCE
By Associated Prass

oy associated Prese
 Leavenworth. Kan, July 10-Lotha Witsche, the only German spy sentenced to death during the war was received at the federal prison here recently to begin serving prison sentence. The death sen tence was commuted by the President. Witsche was a lieutenant in the German army.
 During naval engagement in the AL lantic ocean, in which the Teuton var ship on which he was serving was sunk, Witsche was cast adrift. He was picked up by vessel bound for Mexico and later made his way across the interna- tional line into the United States. He succeeded in making a number of maps and drawings of harbors and fortifica- ticns along the Pacific coast and returned to Mexico. There he became confidential with an American of German descent, who induced him to return to the United States for further espionage work. He walked into the trap and at Nogales fell into the hands of federal officers.

To Overcome Redness,
 Tan, Freckles, Blotches

If your skin is unduly reddened, tanned or freckled. just dab little pure mercol- ized wax on the face and allow it to remain over night When you wash off the wax in the morning, fine. flaky, almost invisible particles of cutcle come with it. Repeat ing this daily. the entire outer skin is ab- sorbed, but so gradually and gently, there's not the slightest hurt or inconvenience. Even the stubbornest freckles are affectd. Tn undrlying skin which forms the new com plexion is so clear. fresh and youthful-look- ing, you'll marvel at the transformation It's the only thing known to actually dis card an aged. faded, muddy or blotchy com plexion. One ounce of mercolzed wax, pro- curable at any drug store. is sufficient in most cases.-Adv.
