BLIND MAN "SEES"
THE BATTLE F10NT
Sir C. Arthur Pearson of Lon
don Goes to British Line
to Look Over" the
Conflict.
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
With the British Armies in France,
July 6. Blind himself and head of the
British National institute, devoted
principally to men blinded in the war,
Sir C. Arthur Pearson of London was
recently a most interesting visitor at
the British front. His enthusiasm for
all he "saw" was unbounded and he
declared he would take back to the
sightless men at home new words of
encouragement as to how "their"
army was carrying on.
Sir Arthur climbed the Vimy ridge
and to his great delight some German
shells broke so close they splashed
him with mud and the party had to
take temporary refuge in a dugout.
"A man doesn't have to sec to know
when to duck, does he?" laughed Sir
Arthur in relating the incident that
night. "I also find," he added, "that
it doesn't take long to know when
they are going and when they are
coming."
That is always a great source of
entertainment to visitors in the fight
ing zone. At first the shells that are
going over from the British guns
swish along through the sullen air
with a noise that is quite startling
enough, but the sightseer "fortunate"
enough to hear a German missile
"coming in" soon finds it sings a
somewhat different song. Sir Arthur
aptly described it.
Depends on the Whiz.
"Our shells," he said, "go with a
bang and a whiz; the Germans come
over with a whiz and a bang. It all
depends upon the position of the
whiz."
Sir Arthur was deeply impressed
by the work of the guns. He re
mained with some of the batteries
fora long time and listened to their
noisy mutterings with a keen appre
ciation of all that was going on about
him. He was particularly delighted
to hear above the reverberating
echoes the songs of larks always
to be remembered by the soldiers on
this front as their ever-cheerful com
panions of trench and battlefields.
Trudging over some of the older
battlefields of the Somme, walking
through the trenches, and standing in
the higher places where the panor
ama of battle spread below him, Sir
Arthur drank in the atmosphere of
the war the meaning of it all. He
"saw the tanks m repose and heard j
them at drill, he stood outside a
prison cage and visualized the round-1
capped Germans within the barbed j
wire barriers. He asked a guard if'
any of the prisoners ever attempted
to escape. '
"Escape, sir?" replied the old ser
geant; "why. sir. you couldn't drive
cm away; they likes being prisoners.'
sir. they does."
The ruined citier of the Somme, :
Bapaume and Peronne, affected Sir
Arthur deeply. :
"I wish the whole world all but
the Germans who already know what
they have done-could come and
stand in the grand squares of these
cities as 1 did today," he exclaimed,
"and sec and feel the desolation and
the wanton destruction. They are
ghosilikc, these cities of the dead. I
knew them on motor trips in Other
days, when they were alive and 1
could see, and I could picture the
scene today as if I were looking at
a painting. The Germans will find,
however, the day of reckoning is near
at hand. 1 shall take back words
of great cheer to the men at St. Dun
stan's." Entertained by officers of all ranks.
Sir Arthur declared his days and
nights at the front had been filled to
overflowing. No visitor ever followed
the workings of the vast British army
machine with a quicker, keener ap
preciation and understanding than he
He was gratified to find in the army
a similar interest and appreciation in
the work at St. Dunstan's for the
blinded soldiers and sailors. ;
Sir Arthur told of the resentment
he felt when unthinking people re
ferred to St. Dunstanjs as a "home"
for the blind. " as if the blind were to
be segregated there for the rest of
their days. j
Does Not Believe in "Homes." j
"It is not a home for the blind,' he
protested, "and I do not believe in j
'homes' for the blind. St. Dunstan's j
is an institution where those who j
cannot see are helped to equip them-'
selves to retake their places in the or-,
dinary affairs and walks of life. Often 1
despondent at first, they are set some
simple task, and when they find how
easily it is done, a spirit of regenera
tion seems to come over them. They
catch the spirit of accomplishment
and thereafter nothing is too great
for them to attempt.
"One of the most despondent men
with whom I have had to deal was
a blinded 'Tommy,' who had been a
sort of steam fitter or house heating
expert. None of the ordinary trades
appealed to him, and he felt as if he

pital supplies. Immanuel Red Cross
auxiliary, headed by Mrs. W. H.
Dressier, will pursue its work Thurs
days at Immanual Baptist church.
I asked him how he would like to go
back to his old job. He shook his
head sadly. It couldn't be done. I
told him we would see about that. I
wrote to his old firm, and one of the
partners came to see me. 1 asked if
they would take 'Tommy' back. I was
assured the firm would like to do so,
but they could not see how a blind
man could fill any post in their busi
ness. 1 obtained a promise, however,
that if I would assist the soldier to
such an extent that I felt he was en
titled to a trial they would do so.
"I immediately sent for all the avail
able text books on house heating I
could find. I even got two volumes
from America. The end of the story
is very simple. I had a letter from
the firm a few days ago saying 'Tom
my' was receiving nearly double his
old salary,, was of more value to them
than he had ever been, or, they be
lieved, ever would have been."
Muny Guards Getting in
Line for the Camp Duties
The Muny Guards are preparing
for camp. Mrs. Clifford Anderson of
the Hanscom park district, whose son
is a member, says that ever 'since her
boy joined the junior army she has
not had to peal potatoes. The Knick
erbocker has been told by his cap
tain that he will be expected to do
cook duty while at camp. He is be
coming proficient in his work.
Arthur Atkisson of the Kountze
park company is crazy about keeping
guard. He has asked to be put on
duty from midnight till 2 in the morn
ing. He parades in iront of his home
every night, gun on his shoulder,
from 10 to 11, to get in practice. He
has caused much excitement in the
neighborhood, refusing to tak while
on duty. He will not stop to drink
or rest.

Refuses to Add to Fine
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Tokio, July 20. The court of ap
peals has rejected the appeal taken
by the public prosecutor in the case
of Ralph Hoyt Thayer of Utica, N.
Y., who was recently fined $10 for
entering a fortified zone at Yokosuka
without authority.
There was no reason, the court
held, for sustaining the request that

of all kinds, for each contains a certain amount ot muscle-making material
a certain amount of energy, certain properties which fee"d the nerves and
blood and others which store up reserve force in the form of fat.
Obviously, then, the lifting of bread from the daily menu should be the last
resort, and will not be necessary, even In the poorest families, if it is treated
as a food, not an accessory, and if the housewife will do everything in her
power to save every crumb.
In most households the meal has been planned without regard to the food
value of bread itself. This has been tacked on. For instance, a dinner that
contains potatoes, cottage pudding and bread, has too much starch. The pota
toes may be omitted, the bread and cottage pudding supplying all that Is
necessary. A supper that includes rice, bread and cake will be dietetically
bettered by the elimination of either the rice or the cake, the bread furnishing
the necessary constituents.
In other words, bread Is, in spite of the present high prices, the most
Inexpensive food because It contains the largest amount of varied nutriment
of any food that may be purchased, and because If combined properly into the
menu, other foods, such as potatoes and rice which have been Included through
habit, may be eliminated. This means an actual saving in cash and at the
same time an Increase In family health, because the over-amount of starch,
which has figured in our national menus will have been decreased. This
means, in turn.iless auto-intoxicatlon, fewer sick headaches, less Indigestion
and fewer doctor's bills.
Bread and Cheese Pudding.
Hi cupfuls crumbled dry bread crusts, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoonful salt, few

NAYY AID SOCIETY
APPEALSTO WOMEN
Officers of Great Lakes Aux
iliary Wants Organizations
Perfected in Thirteen
States.
Chicago, Aug. 4. An appeal to the
millions of people in the middle west
for co-operation during the national
emergency in the work of the Navy
Relief society was made here today.
Issued by the officers of the Great
Lakes auxiliary of the organization
it was directed especially to the club
women, patriotic and civic workers,
and state, municipal and other of
ficials of Wisconsin, Illinois. Mis
souri, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Kansas, Kentucky,
Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and
Nebraska.
The launching of an intensive cam
paign for civilian memberships fol
lowed a meeting of the officers and
board managers of the Great Lakes
auxiliary of the Navy Relief society.
Heretofore, as Mrs. W. A. Moffett.
president of the auxiliary and wife of
the commandant of the United States
Naval training station at Great Lakes,
111., pointed out, it has been unneces
sary to seek civilian aid and mem
bership. With the exception ot a
few life members, membership has
been confined to men in the service.
The demand of the war, however, she
said, have necessitated the expansion
of the society and the establishment
of the "Great Lakes auxiliary" as
the active body for the states of the
central west. She urged the establish
ment of state, city and town chapters
in the thirteen states.
Appeal to Women of West.
The appeal requested the co-opera
tion m the organization ot women
in every community in the middle
west and women interested in such
patriotic work are urged to communi
cate with Mrs. Molten, who promises
to provide them with detailed plans
for organization, together with liter
ature and other necessary advertising
matter.
The society was organized in 1904
by the late Admiral George Dewey,
for the purpose of caring for those
needy widows, orphans and mothers
of officers and enlisted men in the
navy or marine corps who die in ser
vice. It has the co-operation of the
bureau of navigation and of the sur
geon general of the navy and its
work is directed voluntarily by navy
officers.
As explained bv Lieutenant J. Al
len Haines (J. G.), United States
naval relief fund, who is executive
secretary of the auxiliary, the or
ganization maintains an office in the
Navy building at Washington to
which reports of all deaths and dis
asters to men on ships of the navy
are sent immediately upon their re
ceipt by the department. Through
the organization the local commit
tee in a man's home community is in
touch with the surviving members of
his family within twelve hours and
their immediate needs are cared for.
Later permanent relief is given. The
organization differs from other war
relief bodies, he pointed out, in that
it cares for the families of officers and
enlisted men of the navy and marine
corps in time of peace as well as in
war.
Relief of Dependents.
Mrs W. A. Moffett, president of
the Great Lakes iuxiliary, pointed
out that among its undertakings are
immediate financial relief for depend
ents and continued monthly allot

But in the meantime, even in the most thrifty
households, a tremendous, waste had been going on
It was in the form of leaks, a little here and a little then
tnat in themselves were apparently nothing, but that
in the aggregate amounted to tons upon tons of weight
and thousands upon thousands of dollars in value In
other words, the housewife has been so bound in by
her own horizon that she has missed the vision of the
concerted efforts of the combined women of our nation
Now she must mobilize. A mighty army to con
serve waste must be formed. The first and most im
portant product to be conserved is wheat, that there
may be bread for us, our children and the allied na
tions. Now there are many ways in which bread and
therefore wheat, may be conserved. The first method
that has been discussed that is the elimination of
bread from the diet can not be considered, because
there is no one other food that has an equivalent place

ments until such time as the family
can be put on a permanent self-sustaining
basis. Women who have no
mean of support are taught vocations,
assistance is given in the obtaining
of pension and orphaned children
are educated and placed in homes. She
asserted that practically every man
in the navy is now a member, but 1
that relief is given in every neces
sary case, regardless of membership
in the society.
The appeal issued today said:
"With the nation involved in war
an organization is necessary, the ten
tacles of which shall radiate like the
spokes of a wheel, reaching every
hamlet and every home in the middle
west. In this way only can the men
who offer their lives to their coun
try have the mental relief that comes
with the assurance that in the event
of death their families will be cared
Vor. Those who are left at home
should help the struggle for democ
racy in this way. Every man, every
woman and every child in the section
should be a member of the Great
Lakes auxiliary of the Naval Relief
society."

Just as you've always done,
And Lucy'll do your shopping,
She thinks that 'twill be fun.
rp IIEY'RE here!, So early so
ready! the messengers of Au
tumn, the advancieres of Fashion
the first fall suits! I saw them at
Benson & Thome's, and to say that
I'm perfectly delighted with them is
putting it far too mildly. The coats
are rather longish, the skirts plain and
full. If you're fond of a mannish
suit you'll certainly have to have one
of those new English mixtures, for
they're the smartest tailleurs that
have been shown in years. The semi
tailored and dressy suits are particu
larly handsome for Pall and have so
many little ardent touches that to
really appreciate them you should go
and see for yourself.
There is a convenient rubberized
shoulder cape to protect your gar
ments when you have a shampoo.
It's priced at $1.25.
HERE'S interesting news for the
girls who are getting their
wardrobes in readiness to go away to
school. The new silks and satins for
"dress-up" frocks and separate skirts
have arrived at Thompson-Belden's,
and they are perfectly wonderful to
behold in their soft color tones and
shimniery richness so altogether dif
ferent and dignified from the -start-lingly
gay silks we've had this slim
mer. Dame Fashion has decreed that
satins are to be particularly voguish
this Fall, and they arc to be seen in
broad ribbon stripes of alternate
shades, or in harmonious cluster
stripes. Satin de chine, which is an
especially lovely material, is shown in
the various fashionable slwdes of
plum, beet-root, smoke-gray, Hunter's
green and walnut. For party frocks
there are new crepe de chines in per
fectly ravishing evening shades.
"Hickson" the designer has revived
the bustle minus the wires and stiffen
ing bones and calls it the "Bustlette."
The style is inreresting becauje it is
the first radical change in the silhou
ette for four' years and the first dic
tated by America.
IT'S AN old saying that a word to
the wise is sufficient, and. acting
on that hunch, you will do well to in
vest in one of those luxurious double
silk warp Plush Coats handsomely
trimmed with fur, for the prices now
arc markedly less than when the
weather is seasonable for ihrm. I
saw a perfectly splendid line of these
at F. W. Thome's Uptown Shop, 1812
Farnatn.
A suit coat that's right-fitting, is
tight-fitting for Fall.

simply swell up with joyous pride if
he was the possessor of one of those

in The Boys' Shop at Benson &

drill, with two pairs of trousers
short and long ones in sizes 4 to 8
years, and priced at $4.39; or in beau

made by an ex-navy man, so you can

They say "applique," for silk or

IF YOU like to sec your wee girl
"dolled up" in dresses that are
really unusual dresses that show in
every line that they were buitt by a
specialist you should just take her
down to The Tot's Shop at Benson &
Thome's and try some of those lovely
little dressei on her, which are now
being offered at one-third off the reg
ular selling price. Quaint little pic
ture book frocks they are, accenting
the little lassie's juvenile cuteness.
French knots, smocking, feather
stitching and hemstitching are only
a few of the painstaking touches that
distinguish these dresses. White lace
trimmed lingerie frocks, dainty-colored
voiles and Dolly Varden rose
bud dimities. Ages 2 to 6 and prices
$1.67 to $3.34.
Bright spots or dots, and lots of
'em, you may add to your white
Georgette blouse to lend a bit of
Color.
even the railroads run week-end ex
cursions to the spot, bringing hun
dreds of holiday-clad boys and girls
from great distances to see the
Americans.
Up to a certain hour the ships arc
outlined in the darkness by many
lights. But all the time there is a
scene of activity on board and in the
water. The bluejackets, with their
little white caps, seem to be always
moving about, motor dories dart here
and there among the ships, orders are
called out and occasionally is heard
the shrill warning of the horn on the
dories. Always the dories are run
ning from ships to shore, loaded with
men Toing on leaves or returning to
ship. Wireless and searchlights which
at night replace the flag signals and
scmaphones are exchanging messages,
and lights on board each ship flicker
up and out in Morse code.
In the midst of all this is-heard the
strain of string music guitars, ban
jos and violins which seem to be fav
orites with American boys. From
the deck of the supply or mother ship,
which boasts a string orchestra of
fifteen pieces, Hawaiian melodies en
chant the music lovers on shore. From
other ships music from the phono
graphs, with which every ship in the
flotillas is supplied. On week-ends
many of the towns people crowd into
small boats and swarm about the de
stroyers in their anxiety to get as
close as possible to the music.

T WATCHED a bunch of pretty
girls dancing the other evening at
one of our country clubs, and quite a

"a find" that I asked if I might tell
you about them. They're priced at

So I can't skip in and out of the shops
Next week, to seek new things to
write about,
