GERMAN OFFICERS
SUFFER POVERTY
Public Making Contributions to Relieve
Their DistresS-Many Leave
The Country.

BERLIN, Oct 1.-THE financial plight
of some former high army officers, who,
deprived of government pay which was
their only income, have been reduced 70
straitened circumstances has caused a
movement among former soldiers to help
! them by donations of sums ranging from
FIVE to 10 marks. Only a few of the needy
officers, however, have consented to accept
such charity.
Former Field Marshal Conrad Won
Hoetzendorf, declining donation of 1000
marks, wrote: Il am not complaining
and feel / have little cause to complain,
when / think of the many wounded men
who have even less than 7. This money
should 90 to help them"
Won Hoetzendorf and his wife are liv-
ing at Innsbruck, occupying small room
! in which their meals are prepared on an
, electric stove. The former field marshal s
income amounts to less than L 200 Ger
man marks monthly.
Many former high officers have been
compelled to leave Germany for Austria
and Poland, where their German marks
have a greater purchasing power. Others
have taken low -salaried positions in the
German provinces where the cost of living
is low. as
Considerable sympathy for these men
recently has been manifest even in Lib
eral. Socialist Radical, and Anti-Aon-
archistic quarters, and the newspapers
have been advertising the seriousness of
their situation.

NO LAW AGAINST
WOMEN'S TROUSERS
Attorney General of Washington Says
They Cannot be Restrained From
Mimicking Men.

SEATTLE. Oct. 12.-While the wear
ing by women of masculine shirts and
trousers may perhaps be subject to
some criticism from an artistic or aesthe-
tic standpoint, it cannot be said that it
is prohibited by the law, Attorney
General l.. L. Thompson has advised
w. H. Hillyer, town marshal of Zillah,
Washington.
Marshall ILilyer consulted every
authority in his pursuit of means to curb
the wearing of mems attire by women in
his town. Secretary of State j. Grant
Hinkle. to whom the question was first
put, passed the problem up to f. l..
French. director of agriculture, on the
ground that the women wearing mems
clothing were engaged in agricultural
work Mr. French was unable to offer
solution and the matter passed on to
Mr. Thompson.

The finest unworked iron fields in
the world have been discovered in the
Philippines, according to report from
government experts recently received
by the United States bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, says the

ore adjacent to good harbors, they
state, will be sufficient to assure the
future iron and steel production in the
United States for generations. Already
land believed to contain more than
5OOOOO,OO0 tons has been surveyed. De-
posits on the island of Mindanao are
believed to be without a rival. They
contain 275,OOO,OOO tons close to good

Pumice Should Make Us Bright.

Pumice is formed by the solidifica-
ton Of the foam produced on molten
lava by the escape of gases. The in
side makeup Of high-grade pumice is
cellular and the specific gravity of the
stone is so low that dry pumice floats
in water. The known deposits on dry
land are not considerable, although
the stone is scattered over large areas
of the worlds ocean bed.
Italian pumice is the highest grade
known to the trade. The volcanic is
land of Lapri lying off the north coast
of Sicily about 40 miles from the Ital-
ian mainland, is the seat of the indus
try.
Pumice is used chiefly by automo-
bile and carriage manufacturers, mar
BILE workers, photographers, platers and
manufac turers Of patent leather and
enamel. Crushed to powder, it is used
for securing and polishing. Shipments
amounting to 100000 pounds of
pumice were made to the United
States in the six months from January
to June, 1920, by one firm in Lipari.
