Use for Wire Left
on the Battlefields

Riga, Iatvia Use has at last
been found here for the vast quanti-
ties of barbed wire left on the battle
fields of Eastern Europe. Riga inven-
tors have devised machinery for
stamping nails out of the wire and
hope by this method to relieve the
shortage Of nails in the Balkan states.
Riga has been the center of so much
fighting throughout the war that most
Of the lakes, streams and roads about
the city are thoroughly lined with
barbed wire entanglements and great
numbers of full spools Of wire are ly-
ing about. The expense of collecting
wire for making nails is thus made
light. Many Of the piers at this port
are stacked high with wire suitable
for nail making.

Capt. w. M. Mcintyre, president of the
association, "was introduced by south

Originally, understand, negroes were
required to remove their hats on en-

hats when travelling in street car

II do not see any reason to discard
this courtesy. Courtesy is not gift.
It is merely an exen1plifcation of what
a man is. Women never will endeavor
to decide this problem for the men,
