CHANGES SENTENCE FROM PENAL ) FARM TO BRIDGE MINTING Tim Kelly, first man s'antenced from Wayne county to the state penal farm had a narrow escape from being sent there again today. In, fact, Mayor Robbins did sentence Kelly to the farm to serve out a sentence of thirty days and a line of $50 and costs, but finally decided to permit Kelly to serve bis time in the county jail, when it was represented to Mm. that Kelly was a good painter aod the county could use him handily tn decorating a few bridges. Kelly iwas delighted when informed that he did not have to go to the penal farm, for which he formed a strong prejudice when serving his first term there "I would not give tenty cents an acre for that penal fasrm," Kelly declared. "You can't even raise a fuss on It, leave alone wheaat and corn. It's the worst ever." After Kelly's term art. the farm he returned to Rlchmondi and was soon arrested for intoxication. He promised to leave the city tforever and he took the pledge never Ho taste another drop of liquor. , He said today that he had "even gone to Muncie" in search of work, but could find none so he (returned to good old Richmond. He made no comment concerning the fracturing of his antibooze pledge. CITIZENSHIP MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN DISPUTE OVER ABABIC WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. Secretary of States Lansing today declared that the question of whether the two Arabic victims reported as Americans were really American citizens was not material. This was construed here as meaning that the United States will base its .position in the Arabic case on the fact that the lives of many bono fide American citizens were endangered. Ambassador Page has cabled a summary of the affidavits of American survivors of the Arabic to the state department, so Secretary Lansing admitted today. He said that as the information was only fragmentary none of it would be given out for publication. LEAVES ON VACATION Mrs. Florence Linton, superintendent of the day nursery, will take her vacation in September and Miss Fuller will have charge of the Institution during her absence. The monthly report will be issued this week and it will show that there were not as many children at the nursery this month as there were last. It is expected that as soon as the public schools open the number of children will be increased considerably, because many of the older children who look after their younger brothers and sisters will not be at home- during school hours. & Germany consumes more pork than kny, other kind' of meat.

The recent serious labor troubles in the immense Krupp shops at Essen, have been settled largely by the personal. efforts of Frau Bertha Krupp Von Bohlen, the young woman1 owner of the gigantic war supply establishment. She has a rerfirkable influence over her workmen and she appealed not only to their patriotism but to their loyalty to the Krupp family, which has spent many millions of dollars in improving the condition of its employes.

HOW TO WIN THE "IRON GROSS"

BERLIN, Aug. 24. The general 6taff is issuing stories of valor which won the Iron Cross for German soldiers. Some of these are appended. While the third battalion of the second naval artillery regiment was attacking a village on the sand dunes between the coast and Dixmude, First Sergeant Dietz of Usingen, near Wiesbaden, and Gunner Kniepen, of Cologne, reached a house which was held by Belgian and French soldiers. Dietz, who spoke French, after firing a few shots, shouted "A bas les armes. Vous otes cernes." (Throw down your arms, You are surrounded). The Frenchmen and Belgians, about forty men, obeyed, but Dietz was shot down by a French soldier, who emerged from a house nearby. Some of the Frenchmen then sought to overpower Kneiper, but he . held them at bay until a detachment of iiis company arrived and stormed the house. Dietz died of his wounds a few days later.

Use Torpdeo Shell In Trench Warfare

r27VCM AE&tAU

The torpedo shell, or "winged" projectile, the latest weapon of trench warfare invented by the French is shown in this picture. In trench warfare where the opposing lines are only forty-yards or so apart, both sides have exercised much ingenuity in devising weapons which will hoist the largest possible charge of explosive into the air and drop it into the enemy's trench. In this device the projectile is carried outside the gun on a rod which fits into the barrel. The revolving motion of the projectile keeping it steady,: in its course is.given by the metal wings, which act much as does the feathers on an arrow. - . . . . ,

Krjupp

Near St. Mihiel in France, a detachment of the First Bavarian Chausseurs, with two machine guns, attacked a farmhouse which had been strongly fortified by the French. The assault succeeded at first, but a French battalion suddenly broke from a nearby forest. The situation became desperate and the charging Germans seemed to be lost. The day was saved, however, by Private Stiessberger, of Vatersheim, near Muehldorf, who was in charge of one of the machine guns. The private noticed the attacking Frenchmen in time and turned his fire against them. He stopped the attack, but drew the entire fire of the enemy on himself. Within a few minutes he was struck by three bullets, but he 6tuck to his gun until reinforcements arrived and the French were driven back. For hisbravery the private has been decorated with the iron cross and the Bavarian military cross of the second class.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR REMOVERS ARE DANGEROUS Don't Use Poisonous So-Called Superfluous Hair Removers. You may escape permanent injury it you use so-called hair removers, but you cannot escape an increased growth because after each removal the hair is bound to grow out more bristly and in time it will become so coarse that nothing will remove it but a razor. The only safe way to remove hair is to devitalize it. It is useless to use pastes or rub-on preparations because they only remove hair from the surface of the skin. DeMiracle, the original liquid depilatory, devitalizes hair by attacking it under the skin as well as on the skin. Imitations of DeMiracle are as worthless as pastes and rub-on preparations because they lack certain ingredients that DeMiracle alone contains which give It the power to rob hair of its vitality. Remember, DeMiracle is the only depilatory that has a binding gaurantee in each package which entitles you to your money if It fails. Insist on the genuine DeMiracle and you will get the original liquid hair remover. Others are worthless imitationsrefuse them. DeMiracle is sold in three sizes, 50c, $1.00 and $2.00 bottles. The larger sizes are the most economical for dermatologists and large users to buy. If your dealer will not supply you, buy a bottle at Clem Thistlethwaite's drug stores or order direct from us. The truth about the treatment of superfluous hair mailed in plain sealed envelope on request. DeMiracle Chemical Co., Dept B, Park Ave. and 129th St., New York Adv. CD
