HOW WOMEN CAN FIGHT
By Gelegt Burgess of toe. Vigilantes.
Mem must wait to be drafted, but
aay woman can. volunteer to this
war. Every woman should. An Army
of Women is enlisting recruits. Its
is ths American Red Cross,
The
atates
as
f
'
and to cere for toe wounded is its
mission.
Don't think, however, that means
that you can pub on « becoming uni
form, and, after a few lessens, go to
Fmnce and nurse hgroes in hospi
tals. Wou)d you. if you wore ill,
want to. bo, cared for by an amateur?
No, you would want a trained nurse
who has graduated from a hospital
that would guarantee her character
and efficiency. Don't you want your
boy, if he is wounded ,to have the
very beet cate in. toe world?
Both in England and in France
many auxiliary hospitals were at
first filled with amateur nurses.
Men .were neglected, ill cared for.
iThe bed sores alone were terrbile—
all caused merely by the lack of ex
perience of toe nurses.
To avoid such horrors, toe Ameri
can Red Cross has enlisted thousands
of graduate nurses, women efficient,
experience and conscientious
and so scientifically trained that the
surgeon's work is made effective. It
has formed and prepared thirty base
hospital staffs—with surgeons, nur
ses, orderlies, dieticians, defies, and
housekeepers and
enough adequately to provide medi
care for an frmy of t • million
It is the work of the. women of the
Inn# to help fcwp these hospitals

WHAT IS NEW ELECTRICAL
An authentic electric lighting opt
f t which requires no attention other
' than filling with gasoline and oiling,
8tarts itself when electric lights Is
wanted, and stops automatically
when toe lights are turned off.
A new typé of portable lamp is
equipped with a turn-down lamp re
gulated by a small rheostat in the
base. Four degrees of light, from
dim to full candle-power may be ob
tained from any Mazda lamp by
turning a lever. %
"Electric Miagara's" are used in
the vineyards of France to prèvent
destructive hail storms. In principle,
they arè simply numbers of light
ning rods which dissipate the
charges of atmosphere electricity
said to form the hail storms.
Four hundred automobile engines
are tested by electricity each day in
one of our largest automobile fac
tories. The electricity so generated
is put to work about the factory and
the current generated by each en
gine measured with G-E meter.
A tiny Mazda lamp has been per
fected which is so economical that it
will remain lighted steadily for a
peroid of twelve hours with the elec
tricity supplied a single cell of
an ordinal y door oell battery. One
of tl.ese lamps used in triangulation

sive on the Asiago Plateau
Wins New Positions
On the British fighting fronts in
France British forces have recaptur
ed important positions from the Ger
mans east of Arras, while the Ger
mans in Champagne region have
gained a foothold in French first
line trenches.
The British gain was .made east of
Monchy-le-Preux where Monday the
Germans under cover of a violent
bombardment drove back the Bri
tiah and occupied their .trenches. Be
tween the Ailette river and Moulin
d|e Laffaux toe Germans, in a strong
attack in which huge effectives were
used, captured a section of a trench
held by the French. The attack was
delivered over a front of ebont two
thirds of a mile and followed a vio
lent bombardment of the French
line.
Near Lens the Canadians in an ap
sault on a position held by. the. Ger
mans which was barring toe way to
tlw city, routed out the defenders
and captured the trenches and in
corporated them into top British
lipiea. The Germans in serious at
tacks endeavored to regain the lost
tercsin, but were beaten off.
In the Aujtro-ttaliap theater, thé
Italians on thé Asiao plateau, south
east of Trentino, are again develop
ing the offensive which last week
gave them considerable territory»
but which was stopped by weather
conditions. .The Rome war office re
^e taking of formidable post
(tionB on p uteau and the capture
0 f more than a thousand officers and
men, besides inflicting heavy casual
ties on the Austrians, who strenu
ously resisted' the advance.
The expected general engagement
along the Macedonian front has not
yet developed, but on various sec
tors, notably in toe Cerna bend and
north of Monastir toe artillery acti
i vity again has increased.
