New York, Nov. 20. When the
26th infantry, as a part of the First
division, suffered heavy casualties on
July 18, 1918, thefirst day of the al
lied counter offensive, Urban Ber
geron, a private in Company E,' was
wounded. He was evacuated to a
field hospital, where he was report
ed doing nicely. Since that time his
parents have heard nothing. Anyone
who knows anything of the fate of
this soldier should address R. T.

the War department and relief soci

ber of unsolved war mysteries and
the American Legion Weekly is co
operating with the International
News Service to solve them. Some
one, reading this column, may have
information that will lighten the bur
den of a mother's heart. Other cases

Frosting Bulbs '
In these days of drastip headlight
laws, state and municipal, motorists
will naturally be interested in a
cheap method of frosting bulbs and
lenses, a method of eliminating the
glare from lights complying with all
statutes of this kind. The. following
formula is used for making the frost
ing solution and into this the bulb
or lens is dipped. To a mixture of
24 ounces of ether and 18 ounces of
benzine and two and a quarter
ounces of sandarach and one-half
ounce of mastic. Any good hug
store will furnish the needed ingredi
ents. If it is desired to produce col
ored light coloring matter may be
added to the solution. If the sur
face to be frosted is large and flat
the solution may be applied with a
brush, hut this usually produces a
streaked surface. It is best to im
merse the object to be coated if pos
sible. The uncolored solution pro
duces much the same effect as
ground glass, but the Trostinjr wears
off with service and has to be renewed.
Spring Seat Lubrication
Many cars are fitted with rear
springs mounted on seats which
oscillate. These springs usually
have some means of lubrication, but
few owners take the trouble to turn
up the grease cup provided. While
it is not necessary to turn the cup
each day it is a good plan to pay
some attention to this most impor
tant part. In cantilever suspensions
the center bearing of the spring'
should be well oiled. Usually this
bearing operates on a small steel
shaft extending out from-the frame.
In some cases a tube running trans
versely of the frame is used If no
grease cup is provided an oil hole
is used.

5 Oilers for Grease Cups
v Modern constructional practice is
-tending toward the elimination of
grease cups and the substitution
therefore of oil wells and oil cups,
There are many car owners whose
vehicles are equipped with grease
cups in great profusion who can at
-slight expense do away with the
trouble due to this equipment. For
example, the grease cup is ' gen
ierally located at the clutch vf or hW
bricating the thrust bearing or
. 'throw-out collar. This may be re
amoved and a large oil' cup may be
substituted. The owner who is me
chanically competent . may install a
'large oil reservoir with flexible leads
' running from it to various parts of
rthe mechanism requiring lubrication
'which is now' supplied by jjrease
cups. Such a. systeni may be -constructed,
after the pattern of : a me
chanical oiler with a-control for each
.lead;; :. ; " . '$,. V;-"-; ;;.:; :
T :--(UseiiorOiliTins
- The tin, cans that "commonly con
tain the better brands of oil may be
cut up into a variety of useful things.
By cutting the titt diagonally across
t small shelf and drip pan may be
made. A wall tray :is also easily
made, likewise a dust pan, to which
jt handle may be attached. An. oil
can holder, is easily .devised" with a
idrip pan, made by the use of a sheet
lof perforated tin, is an extremely
.; useful accessory and saves much dirt
around the garage. ,

It is c&timated-that, no less than
W. R.. Huntington.
In connection with the recent an
nouncement to the effect that the
Omaha Sales company had taken
over the distribution of Chalmers
and Maxwell automobiles, comes the
announcement of; a promotion for
W. R.'. Huntington and Walter W.
Short' of the; Mid-City Motor . and
Supply company.
W. R. Huntington, 'former as
sistant manger of the Mid-City Mo
tor and SupplyVcompany, has been
appointed manager of the Omaha
Auto Sales company , and will have
general charge of the sale of Max-
W. W. Short
well and Chalmers automobiles in I
this territory. .
Walter W. Short, formerly in
charge of the wholesale department
of the Mid-City Motor and Supply,
distributors of the Stephens Salient
Six, has been selected to take Mr.
Huntington's place as assistant man
ager of that company. v
Waltef S. Johnson, general man
ager of the Mid-City Motor and Sup

motions have been well earned and
he feels confident that 1 he has aeV

Woman Elected
Judge to Take
Important Post
Will Be One of Eight Judges
to Administer Civil " and
Criminal Law In Cuya
hoga County, Ohio. ; . '
Cleveland, Nov. 20. With the
election returns counted,"it has been
decided that Cuyahoga county will
have,, after January 1, a -woman as
one of the judges of the court of
common nleas. and to the metropo
lis of Ohio goes the distinction of
having been the first community in
the United States to elect a woman
to a judicial position of this import
ance. :h. tr',"$ .
The new judge-r-Judgr. Florence
L. Allen,, if you please, -, when the
new vear besrinswill be ' one- of
eight judges to administer civil and
criminal law 4n this county.
Whether or not she will be assigned '
special duties is as yet undetermined,
but men who have tested her ability
in the trial courts and in counsel -,
say that she isJas well qualified to ;i
perform the . duties that tan to a
judge as the-average male citizen
chosen for that work.
She is now serving as assistant to
the county prosecuting: : attorney.1
and it was the record made there
that caused her candidacy to 'appeal
to men and women alikev '
Endorsed by Demos :
Endorsed bv the democratic pri
maries as one of the party candi
dates, the federation of women's
clubs here made her fight their cwn,
and worked .' unceasingly to bring
about her election. Prominent mem
bers of the bar added their endorse
ment, and it Svas not surprising that
she led the list oi nine candidates
at the "Voting November 2, being
more than 11,000 votes ahead of the
next highest candidate,' and " polling
a clear majority of all the votes cast
in Cuyahoga county. " ' '
Now that she has been elected,
the club women of the county have
begun agitation for the establish-
ment of a court of domestic rela
tions within the common pleas court
with Judge Allen as the presiding
judge. .
Men do not understand these
matters," said, a prominent Cleve
land club woman in discussing the
proposal.' The laws governing do
mestic relations have been written
and interpreted by men since the be
ginning of time. Legislatures, with
the growing power of women in
industry have given some response
to women's demands, but the courts
have remained the last refuge of the ,
male ex the holy of Jiohes into
which a woman -could not enter.
"Now that we have a woman on
the bench she should be assigned to
try the matters in which women
haye an especial interest. I believe
that under this plan we will have
more happy homes, less divorces
and a more intelligent application of
the laws that most vitally affect the
lives and happiness of people.
"A woman judge will not b con
cerned with precedent so much as
with right."
