sone-oe the Ran.saan girls who were

Some -oe the Rz1astan girls who were disappointed in not obtaining soldier husbands at v7adivostok, disguised as American soldiers slowed away on transports and came to Manila, so eager were they to escape from the turmoil and suffering which have prevailed in Siberia almost since the beginning of the war. These stowa- ways were turned over to the author ities here to be deported to the coun- try whence they came. Several of them were married at the pier while waiting to be put on board a trans port for the voyage back to v1adi- vostok, which made them American citizens and gave them the right to remain here.
 One of these stowaways, clad in male attire, when about to be placed on board a transport for deportation, with several thousand Russian rub1es in her hands, appealed to the crowd at the pier for some man to marry her and save her life from what she said would be certain death if she were returned to Siberia. The Rus sian money which is now of little or no value, appeared to have no influ- ence toward bringing forth a husband for the woman, and she was sent back to Siberia.

LIVING DEAD MANS CLUB

Akron, O., June 18.---A dead mans club, composed exclusively of ex-ser- vice men now living but listed off, ciaEy as killed in action overseas is the latest kind of fraternal organiza- ton suggested by William Wirt of this city.
 W1rt Is having a hard time trying to convince the government that he isn't dead and buried in France. His name now is being chiselled from the memorial bronze tablet recently erect ed here in a memorial building.
 Wirt estimates there are nearly 2O00 ex-service men now living, whom the War Department records show were killed and buried overseas. He also declared that court records show about 300 men declared officially dead, who are still alive. He suggests they organize a Dead Mans Club" and adopt the slogan, we may be dead but we won't lie down.

From the mere standpoint of gasoline mile
age Essex in it's nationwide tests showed
performance worthy of cars which possess that
advantage as their principal quality.
Records were kept on 40 cars. They av-
eraged 1879 miles to the gallon.
But bear in mind this was not done by TAX
ing advantage of every device possible to in
crease gasoline mileage. Under conditions of
that sort, Essex showed as high as 81 miles to
the gallon. However, men don't drive that
way. How obviously unfair it would be,
therefore, to offer such carefully economical
fuel mileage tests as typical of all Essex cars.
In the Essex tests, conditions and perform
ances adverse to gasoline economy obtained.
These cars were being driven at speeds from
5 to 72 miles per hour. They were Keeling off
