COMMERCIAL CLUB DENIES OPPOSING WAGE INCREASES

A rumor in circulation since Saturday that a remonstrance had been made by members of the Commercial club to the construction engineer in charge at the Pennsylvania railroad's roundhouse against raising the wages of the laboring men, was denounced as groundless by Secretary Ullman Tuesday. He said the Commercial club Is working solely for the betterment of all Richmond, and since labor, forms such a large part of the city's interest, anything which Is for the good of one element is for the good of the city as a whole. He went on to say that the Commercial club recognizes that the improvement which is one of the most important benefits to the city that has been carried out for some time; that nine-tenths of the money which is given to the labor in wages is spent in Richmond and that to complete the work in 90 days, any wage scale which the construction engineer may deem necessary to carry out the work is entirely a matter within the hands of the railroad officials. Mr. Ullman, emphatically denies that members of the Commercial club had anything to do with such a petition, or even knew of any such a proceeding.

RETREAT IS ORDERED. "But, my dear, you can't go not now," Sally heard a friendly voice say. She looked about and saw Bhe was in a long hospital ward something like Shack 3, lying on a cot she, Sally Orme, the indefatigable, lying upon an army bed and being told by a whitecapped nurse that she couldn't go somewhere! Sally almost laughed outright "You've iust come out of as beautiful swoon as ever I saw," the kind voice continued, "and you arc much too shaky to be taking care of of some one who doesn't need you, anyhow." "You don't mean that he's " Sally couldn't finish it. "Dead? By no means! But he's coming out of ether and is'nt wanting company. Now you be a good girl and rest and you can go back txf your camp In a few days. But Sally refused to be a guest at the observation camp hospital more than a day. Seeing that to stay would fret her into a more dangerous state than to go, the head surgeon gave reluctant permission and Sally, making sure that Roger was not on the verge of death as she had feared, returned to Shack 3. Dr. Rolf was no more shocked at her white and wabbly appearance than Sally was at his. Her escape was reflected in anguish upon his face. The grip of his hands as he met her was more eloquent of his anxiety at her danger and his relief at seeing her back than any words could be. "Sally Sally!" It was all he said. And Sally, whose womanly emotions were all In chaos, could not have told for the life of her whether the response that welled In her heart was maternal or sisterly or confradely or pitying or loving or all of them together. "Well, I've came back to my children," she said a little tremulously. "How are they all?" Rolf made no reply. He threw open the door of the shack and followed Sally with yearning eyes as she passed, through. These wise eyes of Will-

ard Rolf saw beneath her quickly resumed efficiency a cruel pull of worry and strain. He noted, too, that during the following days she called very often on the telephone to learn Roger's condition at the quarters of the balloon corps. He did, some calling up himself, and learned that Roger was in for a siege of nursing, all complicated as he was with plaster casts and "Bradford frames." He learned that Sally had pleaded for his transfer to Shack 3 that she herself might tend him, but that his removal was impossible. He saw that while Sally went about her duties with even more than usual zeal Bhe was only half at Shack 3, the other half of her mind being stretched across space to Roger's bedside. He saw that 6he started at sudden sounds and grew pale with exhaustion toward the end of each day. And he determined to get her away for a fortnight's vacation before she went down in utter collapse. "Sally." said Rolf, overtaking her as she left the hospital one night, "you know a good soldier can't stay a good soldier if he fights in the front line all the time don't you?" "Why, yes, Will." Her eyes were alert and questioning. "Then you will understand why I order you to the rear for a short spell of rest. I'm not asking you. girl, I'm commanding you. You've got to go to Paris for a holiday. Don't worry about that very delightful and efficient young person at the balloon camp. I have made sure about him. He'll be waiting for you when you get back I promise." He added the two last words with a sigh that touched her. "How good you are, Will. How fine and dear and " "But do you obey?" "Yes, honorable commander," she said, saluting, "for I do so dislike being shot against walls! Besides, I have a packet of treasures to deliver to Rabouche's girl the poor chap who died last night. He was the best fellow I ever 6aw for an ex-apache! Good night, Dr. Will, dear. I will be off tomorrow night, I promise " (To be continued.)

W. S. S. SALES IN I). S. LAST WEEK BREAK RECORD Thrift Sales Brought $58,055,000 Into Trasury Equals June Sales. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 30. Sale of war savings and thrift stamps brought $58,055,000 into the treasury last week and broke earlier records for receipts from that source. This weekly yield is about equal to that of the entire month of June.and is largely a result of the national campaign June 28 to obtain pledges for systematic investment of war savings stamps. Aggregate revenue to the government, from millions of these small savings is expected to reach $200,000,000 for July, or nearly four times the highest rate heretofore. The war savings organization estimates that 34,000.000 persons are now saving systematically through purchase of the thrift or war savings stamps, indicating that about one-third of the nation's population are investing an average of $1.75 a week. During the first four weeks in June weekly receipts from war savings were about $10,000,000. How they increased, after the special campaign, is shown by the following weekly receipts: For week ending July 6. $24,029,000; July 13, $50,200,000; July 20, $53,630,000; July 27, $58,055,000.

RAISE AGE LIMIT FOR NAVY RECRUITS

A letter received Tuesday at the Richmond recruiting office states that the ratings of musicians and hospital apprentices are closed for the present in the regular navy but boiler makers, firemen and yeomen are especially desired. The age limit for boiler mak

ers is 21 to 31 in the regular navy and 21 to 40 in the reserve. The age limits for all ratings in the reserve force have now been increased to 40 years with the exception of carpenters, painters and machinists who will be accepted at the age of 58 if physically qualified. The navy recruiting officer stated Tuesday that he would like for every one to see the film, "A Sailor in the Making," which is being shown at the Washington Tuesday in addition to the regular program. This is being shown under the authority of the navy department. It shows the steps in the training which is given a young man for the naval service from the time he leaves home until he becomes a sailor and Is sent aboard a battleship. The film is of great interest at the present time owing to the fact that many of Richmond's young men have gone into the service.

THRESHING REPORT SHOWS BIG YIELD

George J. Kuhlmao was the first thresherman in Wayne county to turn in a complete report to County Agent Kline of the amount of grain threshed this year. He threshed a total of 11,060 bushels of wheat from 472 acres, on 18 different farms. This makes an average of 23.4 bushels per acre. This is 9 bushels above the average yield in the state covering a period of ten years. All wheat reports must be mailed to the office of the county agent on August 1, 1918, completely filled out. Report blanks for this purpose can be obtained by applying at the office of the county agent.

'When there Is an air raid on Paris, the French take to the cellar, but the Americans get out on the housetops to watch it," said Will Jenkins, recently returned from service in the Friends Reconstruction unit, in a talk before the Rotary club at the Arlington hotel Tuesday noon. Mr. Jenkins described the work of the American Red Cross among the French refugees. The Friends unit now works under the supervision of the Red Cross.

The speaker was in the territory j

covered by the German offensive of March 21. He and his companions were awakened that morning with the continuous roar of the huge guns and they knew the attack was on. Six men were killed during the first day, but the Red Cross men stayed on,-until evening, when the assaults grew bo very "hot", as Mr. Jenkins described it, that they decided they would have to leave. The Germans swept through the village only six hours later. Herding the terror striken little old women, and frightened children into any sort of railway car they could find, they took the entire civilian population down to Paris, where Mr. Jenkins was on night duty in the station, helping ta find cots or even boards where the destitute refugees could sleep over night. Fourteen thousand refugees were cared for by these Red Cross workers, Mr. Jenkins said. Returning by wsy of England, Mr. Jenkins was able to compare London with Paris, and says that the conditions are better in London than on the

continent, for candy and even Ice cream may be easily obtained on the streets while in Paris it only may be had at the Y. M. C. A. rooms. Mr. Jenkins closed his talk with a warm praise of the work which the Y. M. C. A. is doing in the war zone.

SOLDIERS PLEASED WITH ENTERTAINMENT

The members of the detachment of soldiers who were entertained at the Commercial club rooms Monday even

ing by the War Mothers, said that they would long remember Richmond as a bright spot on the map. They were a division of the 139th Ammunition train which came from Camp Shelby and is bound for Hoboken, N. J. Members of the company stated that several other divisions are due to come through Richmond this week, and that one section of this 139th division is made up of Indiana boys. The assembly hall of the Commercial club makes an ideal community center In which to show hospitality to soldiers in the city, and the impromptu dances will be continued, according to Mr. Ullman, secretary of the club, as long as the commanding off.cer of the detachments wishes. The dances will be entirely under the supervision of the War Mothers of the city, and only girls who are Invited by the committee and who are chaperoned both in coming and in returning to their homes will be present. One of the features of the dance given Monday evening was that the soldiers seemed as interested in talking with the Mothers as they were with the girls themselves, and that the success of the entertainment largely lay in the spirit of patriotism and hospitality which was manifest.
