RETSY was all agog to have a
- bed with no foot piece and a
padded head to match her spread.
Ingenuity would have to substitute
for money, and she was seriously
considering this and that when the
plumber was called to fix a leaky
pipe.
AS a tiny tot Betsy always said,
"Let me watch" when workmen
were coming and at 16 she hadn't
grown up much. The plumber took
a fine saw out of his tool bag and
sawed a pipe in two just as if it
were wood. Right then something
clicked for Betsy. That old iron
bed in the attic! 1t could be cut
down. 1t was cut down, as shown
in the sketch.
The top of this bed is padded
with, cotton basted to muslin.
Betsy used an old comforter for
padding.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 16.
"A deadlock over the question of
retroactive pay has been settled to
pave the way for negotiations be-
tween Pacific Coast Waterfront En-
ployers and the Longshoremen's
Union.
Terms of the agreement were not
revealed
The negotiations will begin i'm
mediately. There is considerable diff
ference between the employers and
the union over terms of the con-
tract
The employers proposed that ex-
isting contracts be extended three
months pending the signing of per-
manent agreements and any pay in
crease agreed on would date from
December l.
The union at first suggested that
the contracts be continued indefin-
itely and that any pay increase date
from October 1. Later the Long
shoremen agreed to have the raise
date from October 80, and either side
be given the privilege of ending the
working agreement on so days no.

There apparently is no likelihood
of a strike to tie up the waterfronts

Go Over Top in Med River
VaIIey-Then RepuIs-
ed by French
MORE DIVISIONS ARE
ON ATTACK AT WARSAW
Polish Forces Are Making
Gains in North But Lose
Units in South
(By Associated Press)

A French statement says the Ger
man infantry went over the top" in
waves under cover of a heavy artil-
lery bombardment in the lower MED
River Valley but declared the Ger
mans were then repulsed after sew
eral hours of terrific fighting.
The French also report driving
deeper into Germany, especially In
the Moselle River Valley where the
Germans are retreating and tearing
up railroad tracks and destroying
bridges.
The morning communique from
Berlin says there has been heavy
enemy artillery activity in the Saar-
bruecken sector but some local en-
envy thrusts have been warded off
with heavy losses to the enemy"
New Moves at Warsaw
In the east, the German forces are
reported to be steadily closing in on
the Polish forces and are making an
enlightenment movement west Of
Warsaw with new divisions sent
into the action.
The German communique admits
the Polish Armies are holding out
in an area less than so miles in
diameter Notwithstanding vicious
assaults made upon the forces.
German forces according to the
Berlin communique, said they have
swept and shattered units Of the
Polish Southern Army before them
and added:
Severe fighting continues at the
gates of Lwow."
The German communique also
says the invading forces are con-
tinuing their attack on Brest Lit
ovsk Citadel, 100 miles west of War
saw.
In Budapest, Hungarian diplo-
matte and newspaper circles have
received reports that the Polish de-
tenders of Warsaw and Lwow have
pushed back the invaders, inflicting
severe losses.
Other foreign sources report Pol
ish gains but there is no neutral
confirmation of any of the German
claims.
French reports said heavy German
attacks have been repulsed at VIOLA,
Warsaw suburb, with the loss OF
some heavy artillery.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Planes

Washington is full of maps. They

old, maps were hanging in the War

President Roosevelt held press
conference Immediately after the
war started. He had been up all
night save for an hour or SO about
midnight. He was serious. The usual
kidding with the correspondents at
the beginning of conference was
omitted. You can't kid about war.
He cautioned the press to give
the people the facts, without base

he said. That is best and safest.

A brilliant orator, strong in his

for caustic epigram, he was one of
the most persistent foes of the

Sherman, in the long legislative

to help outmaneuver the Wilsonian

Warns u. ). 10
Stay Out Of War

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. - Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh appealed to
the nation last night to stay out of
the European war.
1t was the first time the famous
flier ever delivered a radio address
to the nation.
Lindbergh warned the people of
America to beware of propaganda
from both sides in the war.
He declared that the United States
faces the challenge to carry on west
ern civilization which otherwise may
be destroyed in the war.
Col. Lindbergh told his ra do
listeners that I'VE must not permit
our sentiment, our pity, or our per-
sonal feelings and sympathy to OBJ
scure the issue that will affect our
children's lives. We must be as
impersonal as surgeon and his
knife"
Leaning on the speakers stand
with both elbows, the aviator as
serted that America must either
stay out of war or remain perma-
nently in Europes affairs.
