Change in Hours

The large department stores sent a

A Real Liberty Loan ArgumentBy Lieutenant Grantland Rice

(Formerly sports writer for The Tribune.I SAW him lying by the roadside, in the wake of the Amcri-¦ can advance just beyond Fère-en-Tardenois.

He was lying face downward, the vim of his steel helmetburied in the mud. A heavy rain was still falling, but it hadnot yet completely erased the writing on a letter he bad carried.

The letter was from his mother. It expressed the wish andthe hope that he "was well and dry and safe"; that he Xvashappy and would soon be back, as they were thinking of nothingelse but his return. "Your daddy," she wrote, "sits by the fireat night and refuses to talk of anything but you and of the dayyou'll be back with us again."

"Well.and dry.and safe".with the rain beating on him,face downward in the mud.and a bullet hole through the topof his steel helmet. But he had fallen toward Germany.

He was only one of the many who had made the greatsacrifice. His father and mother were only a small part of themany who had made the greater sacrifice.

The. question left is a simple one: How many of these havedied and are going to die in vain because the people back homecouldn't raise the money to crush the military power that madesuch things possible?

Aged Women Newsdealer IsNew Target for Hearst AgentsVender Who Refused to Handle "Americans" Finds Stand

Picketed by "Strong Arm" Crew, but Her CustomersStand By Her.Other Attacks Fail

Unable to make any headway against!the newsboys who are fighting to es¬

cape from the control of the Hearstpublications, Hearst agents have nowswitched their campaign to a woman.Mrs. Mary Taylor, who for many yearshas sold papers at the Municipal Build¬ing, is the latest vender to be pickedfor their attentions.

Mrs. Taylor's offence lies in refus¬ing to sell "Americans," and by selling"Tribunes" about the Brooklyn Bridgeforcing Hearst agents to the limit oftheir activities. In retaliation theyare said to have threatened to put herout of business. As a means towardthis end a group of lively youngsterspicket her afternoon stand in an at¬tempt to get her trade away from her.

Echo of Former AttackThis group is led by a fellow who

the newsboys say is the same personwho a few weeks ago assaulted theaged newsdealer, Levitt, in City HallPark after he had declared he had no

"Americans" in the bundle he was

carrying to his Thirty-third Streetstand and did not propose to carry any.The leader of this crowd was not to befound when the police searched forhim. but has returned to his hauntswithin the last week.Andrew Stanton. president of the

Newsboys' Union, assured Mrs. Tayloryesterday that the union would standby her and tha.t she could depend uponpolice protection if necessary.

Cite Enright's Promise."Commissioner Enright will not

stand for gang work," he told her, "andCaptain Hanna of this precinct won'tcither."

"I am not afraid of the 'strongarms'," Mrs. Taylor said. "What I amafraid of is disorder about the stand.My regular customers would buy of

mo if til ere were fifty of the rowdiesabout. The danger is that some ofthese customers will resent, the at¬tempts of these fellows to interfereand knock them spinning and I don'twant any fighting around here.

".Some good union man who's got aboy or a brother in France is just aslikely as not to swart one of them forpushing a 'Journal' in his face."With the death lists coming back

and folks with relatives over theredreading to see the sight of a mes¬senger boy coming up the block, forfear he's bringing bad news, you can'tblame them much for being nervous."

With one exception, the groups usedin the effort to intimidate male news¬dealers into abandoning the figjit onHearst have been called off. The oneexception is the group that has beentrying to injure the business of MarkMoscowitz, the president of the HarlemNewsdealers' Association. This groupis intermittently on duty, but is makingno headway.

the same period the day before. Man¬hattan has 996 of the new cases. TheBronx 294, Brooklyn 579. Queens 59and Richmond 142.The deaths reported from influenza

were sixty-one, against forty-two theday before, divided as follows: Fifteenm Manhattan, thirteen i-n The. Bronx,twenty-seven in Brooklyn, four ¡nQueens and two in Richmond. Thecieaths from pneumonia numberedninety-nine yesterday, against eighty-four Friday; thirty-four in Manhattan,seventeen in The Bronx, forty-five inBrooklyn, one in Queens and two inRichmond."This is a little increase over the

day before, and far smaller than Ilooked for," said Dr. Copeland. "Halfof the cases are in 800 home*, showingthe epidemic is well confined. Onehome I know of had twelve cases.There wer» 8,000 cases in all, butbecause of the rapid recoveries I esti¬mate there are about 5.000 cases inthe city at present. That is an epi¬demic, of course, but T do not considerthat serious in a. city of 0.000,000people."

Cincinnati Closes AllGathering Places

CINCINNATI, Oct. 5..A sweepingorder closing all schools, moving pict¬ure theatres, regular theatres, Sundayschools, the University of Cincinnati,churches and all places where peopleare accustomed to congregate, eitherindoor or outdoor, was made here to¬day by the Board of Health.

twelve from pneumonia have occurredin this city during the last week, but135 new cases of influenza put in an

appearance this morning at the cityhospitals and thirty-five at Cincin¬nati University. An immediate pollof the city's physicians resulted.

Boston Votes $50,000 forInfluenza "Shack" HospitalBOSTON'. Oct. 5. The expenditureof -S50,000 to erect temporary buildingsin various parts of the slate to house

Shops and ThingsIF YOU LIKE to muse before a wide brick fireplace, where a smoke-

blackened kettle swings from an antique crane and the baby's cradlerocks on a bit of blue rag carpet; if you find it restful to Linger wherethe soft light from homespun curtains softens the twentieth century

giare, and the rows of dull pewter send back as dim a reflection fromKdis.on'a bulbs as once they caught from great-grandmother's hand-,dipped candles; if you want a few minutes' chat on a faded sofa with theserene spirits that haunt a grandfather's clock and a mahogany highboy.then wander some afternoon into the Wallace Nutting gallery at Wana-maker's. i

Here are the treasures gathered in years of loving search throughthe attics of faraway homesteads in hills of old New England. Theywere used by the artist to furnish his series of Colonial houses, where heposed those- quaint, spinners and spinnet players for the famous Nuttingphotographs. Now the photographs are all taken and the collection is tobe scattered.

We permit ourselves the sentimental hope that in their new settingsthese venerable highboys and fourposter beds are destined to carry on

the fine traditions of their past. It is not only that they had their originin stately times, but recently they have been instrumental in the makingof one of the most appealing life stories that we know.

Wallace Nutting was a worn-out clergyman,"They turned me to grass," he tells it now with a smile, "and I found

I liked the grass. 1 began to take pictures of it."The grass, literally, was apple blossoms. Everybody knows tho.se

dainty bits of orchard, clothed in pink, bending over the crumbling stonewalls, where the clergyman stopped his nag and imprisoned spring in hiscamera. .

When the apple blossoms faded the loving camera penetrated into'the backyards of the rambling white farmhouses behind the orchardwalls, and from 1 he backyards it sought the old-fashioned kitchen, withits hanging crane and its kerchiefed Housewife. Here, alas, the questfailed. Horrible (to the artist's eye) iron stoves and pine .'hairs hadtaken the place of the old Colonial furniture, and the present mis¬tresses, even of the most dignified old houses, bought their butterready-made'and had relegated the old churn to the woodshed. Mr. Nut-:ting was compelled to buy beautiful bits of furniture wherever he couldand set up his own Colonial interiors to photograph.

in the doing of this he amassed a fortune, which lovers of New Eng-,land will never grudge him, nor will those who admire the fine talc offsuccess gathered from failure.

rr-M-IE efficiency experts tell us that the day of home dressmaking is| past.that the modern woman knows by bitter experience that it is

cheaper in the end to buy the more expensive ready-made gowns,and that her most painstaking and dainty stitches count for nothingagainst the swagger that comes from scientific cutting and a swift powermachine.

We know by heart the arguments about the necessity for specializationin modern life. No one woman should attempt to be a cook, a nurse, an

educator, a dressmaker and milliner, a doctor, interior decorator and an

inspiration to her husband all in the same lifetime. We have yieldedalready to the community breadmaker, the steam laundry and the factorypickle. We arc tightening our lips against the near day when we shalltome to the community kitchen and day nursery.

Nevertheless the great god economy holds most of us in his swaystill. Tell a woman that she can make a dress herself for $20, when thesame thing costs $29 in the shops, and all the fine theories fly out of thewindow. Tell her that it is patriotic to release men tailors for militaryservice.or at least for the making of military uniforms.and she willstitch her fingers black in the making of her winter suit.

So it is that in spite of the dark days not long since, when we heardthat all the dressmakers were dying of starvation because women pre-,ferred ready-made gowns, to-day there exists in more than one big storea department of home dressmaking. Hearn's is the one we happened tohear about. Here the amateur brings her blue serge and her tissue paperpattern. A keen-eyed young woman initiates her into the mysteries ofperforations and "the straight of the goods."

Trusting implicitly in this repository of wisdom the novice joyouslyhacks away at the most precious material, and lo! in six lessons the gownemerges. After all, there is a certain satisfaction in the creation of one'sown intelligence, be it a poem, a bridge, an angel cake, or a blue serge dress.Unless the experts are prepared to argue that all women can write betterpoetry than they can make dresses, they had better keep away from thatcircle of proud countenances behind the cutting tables in the departmentstore.

FFAMILY jewels are no longer slackers in safety deposit vaults.:Wedding presents, long inactive in the dining room cabinet andthe spare bedroom, are turned into bayonets and bacon for the

soldiers in trenches. This has been made possible by the farsighted¬ness of one jeweller, Wyler, of 601 Fifth Avenue, who has sent out50,000 announcements to his patrons explaining the plan by which oldgold, silver and jewels can be converted into Liberty bonds.

One woman sent in a trunk containing $2,000 worth of duplicatewedding presents. Another had an equally valuable lot of family silver,bequeathed her by her grandmother.

, None of these people would have sold such possessions in ordi-:nary times. The call for Liberty bonds, however, sounds louder thanfamily tradition or sentimental pride. After one has bought all theLiberty bonds he can on his bank account and expectations, there is:always the attic. Go to it.

Mr. Wyler's proposition appeals to persons who have antiquesvaluable for workmanship as well as for their bullion value. In thishe differs from the old metal market, which was opened by a committeeof New York City suffragists last summer'and is soon io be reopenedfor the sale of war savings stamps and Liberty bonds. They sell onlyon the bullion value of old gold and silver and allow no claim for work¬manship. Owners of valuable articles have been advised by the womenthemselves not to turn them in for bullion, but io sell in second-handjewel markets.

There has been, undoubtedly, an enormous quantity of old gold andsilver turned in to this shop.broken cups and odd cuff buttons andsilver plate of an unusual pattern.

If you have something too fine to melt, however, or diamonds,which won't melt, and you feel that you must buy another bond, takethem all to Mr. Wyler and he will act as broker for you in the jewelmarket, where the articles will be sold on their merits.

TIME was when pilgrims proved their devotion by offerings of rarestointments, frankincense and myrrh, jewels and finest fleeces. To¬day it is the paradox of war that one's loyalty to all that is best in-the-v.orld is measured by one's willingness to get along with substitutes.We always resented the classic stories of devout souls who sold theirgoods to buy jewels for the altars of their gods. It is pleasant to bejustified to-day by knowing that true patriotism does not require suchsacrifices.We can wear a Red Cross pin that costs $t and be fully jewelled.We. can wear shoddy blue serge and be patriotically gowned.' And nowthe last item on the list comes to the hour of its adulteration. Oliveoil is no more.that is to say, it is no more than $5 a two-quart can.There was an unusually abundant harvest of olives in Italy this

year, but that avails nothing in times like these. There was no one tobavest the crop. Pietro and Amato were up in the Alps, defendingthe ice trenches. Angelo and Paáquale were patrolling the AdriaticSea, watching for Austrian submarines. Who thought of olives? Thecrop was neither garnered nor pressed.

It is therefore the duty of all good Americans and true tu mixtheir .salad dressing with cottonseed or peanut oil. Nor will it detractfrom the purity of the fervor with which we make this patriotic sacrificeto know that we have probably been doing it all along unwittinglyFor there was once a chemist at high salary who whispered thathe earned that salary just by selecting those grades of cottonseed oilthat would stand shipment to Italy and a return to this country as highgrade imported Italian olive oil. That was before the law of honestadvertising went into effect. Now the best dealers boast of the fact thatthey sell only "American made" olive oil.
