ARMY STUDYING
 USE OF WOMEN
Plans to Utilize Them in Time
 Of War

Washington, Sept. 24 P-The army is looking around to ascertain the possible uses for women in war time to release men from cooking, laundering and host of clerical po- sitions, but the navy, which mother ed the idea, is barred from consid- ering women as a factor in its war plans, except as nurses.
 This situation has been brought about through the enactment of the naval reserve act, which limits navy personnel to males, and the navy now finds itself furnishing the army with data on the value of women in wartime, gathered through its own experience in the World war.
 At the heighth of the war 11,SS0 women wore the navy uniform as yeomanettes" and reserve nurses, and the Marine Corps had 269 Mar inettes" doing clerical work.
 The last member of the Women's Marine Corps Reserve, Corporal May Garner, of New York, retires this fall and orders are there can be no more women in the Marines. The only women left in the Naval estab- lishment are the members of the Navy Nurse Corps, numbering 475. and the Navy Department recently extended to them a measure of con- siderauon in prescribing uniform regulations for shorter skirts and bobbed hair.

Answering the demands of great ly increased business. Mackay & Wallen have enlarged their quarters at 63 Main street, taking over 5000 feet of additional floor space, and the firm will hold its formal open ing Saturday.
 The company was organized near ly five years ago, it's members be- ing Frank Mackay, who had long been buyer in the drapery and Tug departments of the McAIillan store, and Charles Wallen, who had been with John A. Andrews Company. Featuring draperies. rugs and fur niture. the firm began business at 43 Main street, and two years later moved to its present location to ob- tain more floor space. The business of the past few years has made ad- ditional space imperative and this demand is answered in the store which formally opens tomorrow. Chief among the benefits brought about through the store, which in cidentally has it's entire space on one floor, is several thousand feet of dis play room under natural light a fea- ture found in few stores.

No Cropped Heads. for
 Mattresses in England

London, Sept. "A R,-Cafes must be as careful about the appearance of their waitresses as modistes are about their mannequins, and as many girls cannot possibly look smart with an Eton crop the man ager of a great London catering con- cern has decreed that the women in his employ must not have their hair cropped.
 Some girls look all right with their hair cropped, but others are a fright" declared the manager. Consequently we have decided to make the universal rule that the #Eton crop is not to appear in our staffs There is nothing in the world uglier than a girl with bad ears and a bad-shaped head when she has her hair cropped. The appearance of waitresses is such a vital thing in the cafe business that we have to be very careful about how our staffs dress and deport themselves. |"

THIRTY BILLION TOOTHPICKS MADE
 ANNUALLY FOR USE ALL OVER WORLD

cold weather the sap in the log re- mains frozen. AS soon as warm weather sets in the sap begins to stir and stains the wood a tobacco brown.
 To the toothpick manufacturer a white birch log is composed of three parts; the bark, which goes for fuel, the white sap" which is the cream of the log for toothpicks, and the red heart" which is made up into the by-products.
 The log, which is anywhere from to 16 feet in length, is cut into 2 foot bolts, which are shaved of their bark to a cylindrical form. Next the frost is thawed out and from there they go to the veneer lathe. where they are cut into long strips. exactly as wide as a tooth pick is long.
 These strips are wound onto a spool and look like a big bolt of ribbon. The spool of veneer is then run through the toothpick "chop- per-" a small, but very strong ma chine that runs like lightning-450O revolutions per minute-and as the machine has two knives made in the shape of a toothpick, it cuts two picks at every revolution; there are usually twelve or sixteen of these machines in a battery.
 Automatic Processes
 Up to this point the picks are dripping wet, and a blower carries them to the drying machine, a huge, steel oven.
 From the dryer the picks are blown to the "polisher". a steel cyl finder. 110 feet in diameter. that re- wolves very slowly tumbling the picks against each other until they acquire the satiny finish that is characteristic of the American toothpick.

Negro Slave Marriages
 Recognized by Bureau

Washington, Sept. 24 Np - Slave marriages among the negros of the South finally have been recognized by the Pension Bureau.
 The case was that of Cinthy E. Brown, now living at St. Paul, Min nesota, the widow of Matthew Brown. a slave, who after he was freed enlisted with the Douglas h. dependent Battery, L. S. Colored Light Artillery.
 The Browns were married before freedom, according to the slave cus- tom. The widow wrote to Senator Shipstead of Minnesota that after the war they were informed they would have to be married again, which they did in 1872,
 The Pension Bureau had the rec ord Of that marriage. It at first de- clined to allow the widow an in crease of pension from $50 month to $50 a month under the recent pension act on the ground that the wedding took place after Brown s service with the Union army.
 After the letter explaining the earlier slave marriage, the increase was allowed.

Nassau, Wis, Sept. q GPl-Tooth- picks, however lowly they may be, are holding their place in the mouths of the people, and they are one Of the few manufactured pro- ducts that are the same the world over.
 Thirty billion. the season product of a specialized industry, are pro- duced annually in the United States, II. E. Smith, official of a toothpick manufacturing firm here, estimates.
 The modern American toothpick, made of white birch, flat and bevel pointed, and the worlds standard, came into the market about thirty years ago, he explained.
 Succeeded Gold Ones
 Prior to that time" he said, there was the gold plated, ever lasting toothpick of grandfather's day,-as much a part of his per sonal equipment as the key to his watch; a litle later we had the very insanitary quill pick, and after that. rough, unsatisfactory slivers made In Japan.
 "The bulk of the worlds supply of toothpicks is produced in six prin- cipal@factories in the United States; four of them are in Maine, in the cities of Guilford, Dixfield, Philips and Strong; one is in Wausau, and one in Cloquet, Minnesota"
 Toothpicks are not a by-product of some other industry, but many other commercial articles are by products of toothpicks. The tooth pick takes the choicest part of a white birch log, and what is left is converted into other things.
 Made in Winter
 The manufacturing process Is carried on only in the cold months of the year. The ideal season for making toothpicks is said by manu- lecturers to be from December 1 to April IS. The reason is that in

boxes the exact size of the conner cial toothpick box. The tin boxes are dumped into the paper boxes, which are sealed. packed in cases, holding 96 dozen of the little boxes. and the merchandise is ready for the mar ket.
 The whole manufacturing process is automatic,
 The little, pointed sticks are us ed in many ways and many places. Florists use millions of them in making wreaths and floral designs; restaurants and home kitchens use them to hold together veal birds" and pigs in biankets;" men use them 10 clean their pipes; they have been used, in some lockwood re- sorts, as counters, in place of poker chips.

ELEVATOR USED
 ' IN LIFTING FISH
Modern Invention Comes to Aid ns of the Salmon

Portland, Ore, Sept. A LP-Mod- ern invention, which has put the human race on springs and cushions to eliminate iolts and hardships that were endured by earlier gener- ations Is doing as much for the poor fish.
 Members of the flnny tribe which from creation have battled with wa terfalls and rapids to reach the quiet headwaters of streams in order 10 deposit their eggs, are now being luxuriously lifted over such ob- structions by elevators.
 Helps Salmon Spawn
 Building of huge water power dams in the streams on the Pacific coast has brought a serious problem to the interests which seek to main- tain the produc ton of salmon and trout The salmon goes to sea and returns by some mysterious instinct after four years to the stream Of its nativity to spawn.
 The erection of dams In such streams placed barriers to the fish, It was realized that in years to come the supply Of salmon and fish Of similar habits would be seriously curtailed unless some device could be provided to enable the fish to pass the dams.
 Can Go Up or Down
 A fish lift was successfully tested ct 8. dam on a tributary of the Rogue river. near Roseburg, south- ern Oregon. Seventy-nine fish pa tronized the elevator in an hour the first day. All the fish below the falls, so far as could be determined were carried up into deep water. The device is operated by hydraulic pressure and Is automatic in every respect. It can be utilized at any obstruction, regardless of height and fish can go down as well as up.
 Another invention recently put into use at Oregon power plants consists of a series of electrically charged rods to keep fish from en- tering millraces which lead to the turbines.
