SHEETS NEEDED BY ARMY FOR WARMTH

: By Science Service WASHINGTON, April 2.—Sheets as well as blankets are needed by the army to keep soldiers sleeping in the open warm and comfortable. The combinavion of a light blanket and two sheets gives greater body comfort than a single heavy blanket, without necessarily increasing the total weight. Air, presumably, is the reason. Wool blankets. permit more air to pass through them than do: cotton sheets of the ordinary grade. Even one sheet with a blanket is preferable to a heavier blanket, alone. These are the conclusions of scientists at the national bureau of standards, where tests of the air permeability of sheets, blankets and their combinations have been carried on,

FRANCE DIVIDED

Collaborationists, Well-Despised.

LONDON, April 2.—All Gaul may have been divided into three parts. All France today is divided into four parts—so far as its citizens

are concerned, according to a well-

informed neutral recently arrived from there. Heading the list were the collaborationists whose political ambition

is to seek the closets possible union

between France and Germany, Next come civil servants and others in authority who are collaborating only as much as necessary

for the allies, Third comes the great majority of the French people who will have nothing to do with the Germans or the collaborationists. These are the three natural divisions inside France today so torn by war and occupation.

CHIEF QUITS POST

DENVER, April 2 (U. P.). — The word-hattle between Gov. John Vi-

vian of Colorado and Brig. Gen. Harold H. Richardson, state draft head, over administration of the selective service system in the -state came to a conclusion last night] when Richardson announced he was resigning to accept active duty in the army. Richardson also left his job as state. adjutant general to accept a rank as lieutenant colonel on active duty. He will report to Washington this weekend and said he expected to be assigned “some place out of Colorado.” Last week, Vivian directed Rich-

the state that no more farmers were to be inducted into the army — a

Richardson at first refused to comply, announcing he would await orders from Washington. On Monday, however, the state draft headquarters issued a directive to halt induction of farmers and Vivian claimed a victory.
