THOUSANDS OF WOMEN TO ENTER RAILROAD WORK

Labor Shortage Caused by Army Needs Compells Employment of Women. (Hy Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. Thousands of women will be drawn Into railroal employment within the next few months to take the place of men entering the army and going to other industries, according to plans now being formulated by the railroad administration. Women are to be employed extensively as clerks in railway offices, as expert accountants, ticket sellers, station agents, crossing watchmen, care cleaners and to some extent as track laborers. A survey of different classifications of railway positions which might be filled by women, will be undertaken soon, possibly by a committee or women to be named by Director General McAdoo. Consideration will be given to the questions of the health of women and also to the element of safety in employing them for certain work. The general policy of railroads, under government operations will be to pay women the same wages paid men for same services. This course wjill not result in the dismissal of any men, since the demand for workers in nearly all fields of railway employment already exceeds the supply. In employing considerable numbers of women, American railroads will be doing what English and French railways were compelled to do long ago. Training schools for ticket agents are being held in Washington and New York and another school has been authorized for Chicago. Women with high school education, and good health, between the ages of 21 and 35 are given to months of instruction in simple accounting, and railroad geography and are paid $25 a month while learning. Afterward they are asmiroil of employment at salaries ranging usually from $65 to $100 a month.

PROMISE REVISION OF FREIGHT RATES

rate revision to be made continuously

by the railroad administration in the future will be ordered on the principle that the railroads should remove fundomental injustices, and not only the inequalities and new differentials arising out of the 25 per cent advance rate increase. This plan, explained by Director General McAdoo, means that thousands of sJJppers are free to protest to the raiiroad administration's traffic committees against systems of rates in effect before the government took charge of the railways, and to press their claims for adjustments which will remove discriminations favoring other competing localities or plants. Rate experts admit the existence of innumerable cases of discriminations which business interests heretofore have not brought to the attention of the interstate commerce commission. This policy of the railroad administration also is considered significant as leading eventually to establishment of rate systems on a scientific rather than a competiti' e basis. 3 It's surprising how presentable a little repairing will make the old suit appear and that means more money for War Savings Stamps.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. American ingenuity, enterprise, and daring are responsible for another adaption from the pioneer days for use with the American expeditionary forces in France, the war department has announced. The successor to the pony express rider and the melodramatic courrier is the military dispatch rider, who keeps in canstant personal touch with each regiment, each brigade, each division and each, corps. This rider braves German shells, braves weather, enemy patrols, dodges in and out of the way of ambulances, supply trucks, and tanks all lumbering behind the lines. Oftentimes he runs smack into a detachment of the

Belgium Decorates U, S. Lieutenant for Bravery In Important Action (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. An American lieutenant of infantry has won the Belgium cross of war by gallantry as a volunteer in an important patrol action in which he was wounded. A dispatch to the Belgian legation announcing the award gives the lieutenant's name as George Peudlon, but as no such name appears on the army list at the war department, it was probably garbled in transmission. The dispatch says: "Cited in orders of the day, for Aug. 7, and decorated with the Belgian Croix De Guerre: George Peudlon, second lieutenant of infantry in the American army. "Officer possessed of the finest military qualities, bravery, sangfroid, intelligence and energy. "Asked permission to join a patrol charged with the execution of a coup de main beyond our lines. "Was wonded in the fight between the patrol anfl a German force."

enemy, to whom he would be as a bit of cheese to a mouse, and has to depend upon his Yankee wit to escape. Romance Still Lives. Despite the old cry that romance has disappeared with the armored knight and the windmill-tilting gentlemen, the greatest romance In the world is carried by the dispatch rider. He rides on schedule on a motorcycle, arrives in a town, passes his dispatch . bag to a waiting rider, who snatches it and is off on another machine before the ' first rider has a chance to dismount. . The dispatches often contain important orders, and are carried thus to prevent any possible chance of a leak to the. enemy. A battle, the fate r a nation, the fate of a world, may rest

on his shoulders. Romance, in true American fashion, has been preserved, tinned and exported in its most modern form for presentation to the world through the dispatch rider. Grave Responsibility. Perhaps the rider carries an order to a commander to bring up artillery, preparatory to a noffensive. As Napoleon once said, "God is on the side with the heaviest artillery," and if the rider falls the offensive will be lost. The riders make an average of thirty-five miles an hour over the French roads, and many times they make almost twice this speed when necessary. They are a part of the signal corps and are selected for their coolness, bravery, daring, resourcefulness and ability to make any kind of motorcycle repairs under any conditions and their ability to drive.

I Girls! Use Lemons!

Make a Bleaching,

Beautifying Cream f

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remakrable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smothener and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It aturally should help to soften, freshen, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It Is simply marvelous to smoothen rough, red hands. (Adv.)

EASY WAY TO MAKE FRECKLES VANISH

Freckles are a great joke, but not to the person who has them. They're harmless, so doctors and chemists laugh at them. But there -was one chemist who was badly freckled himself. Se he kept on experimenting, to penetrate the skin and fade out the rust spots which lodge there. Finally he found that while danthol tetrate was not good for many things, it was a really wonderful thing for freckles. It is easily applied with the finger tips and is quite readily absorbed, besides 'ieing pleasant, harmless and inexpensive to use. The same treatment is splendid for removing tan and other discolorations of the skin. And it i3 truly surprising how promptly it does the work. Any leading druggist can furnish danthol tetrate. An ounce of it will be enough in most cases. Adv.
