By ELLEN ADAIR ' Ktaff CurrtttenAtnt Evtnino Lttctr NflUItilrf, Paris, July IS. A VEIlT thrilling and danfterous part XX of army work la bclns carried on by Amerlcihn In Pari through the agency of tha American Ambulance. This work U tjulto distinct from thai done In the hos pital, and Is carried on by a particular icctlon for transportation of the wounded. It involves great oxposuro to shell fire and enemy attack, besides some wonderful ex amples of driving motorcars In pre cipitous ravines. tr Edmund tiros, a Callfornlnn, Is the chief surgeon and head of this ambulance and, as his great racing car swept In at the hospital gates, ho drew up sharply nrtd apologised for his dusty condition. "Only 70 minutes ago I was at the trenches," ho said, laughing, "and there was plenty of dust flying there and shells, too! If you will come right Into my ofrtco I shall bo very glnd to tell you all about our-work" Tho American Ambulance, under Doc tor Gros, hns 100 armored cars working at the front and ISO young American men os assistants. They aro practically all college men, very many being from Har vard and Yalo. In their khaki uniforms they look exceedingly smart, and "fear" th a word entirely unknown to them. "We transfer the wounded from tho trenches and the firing lino to tho hos pitals and dressing stations nearby," said Surgeon-Captain Gros, "and It Is some what exciting work. Nono of my boys carry rides or ammunition, but they run Just as much risk of being shot ns any body else In fact, more, since they carry no weapons of defense Our ambulances, too, uro fired on, nnd wo generally havo to wait till nightfall before wo can mako a Journey in safety. At Point Amousson, for Instance, tho roads wero very bad and wo wero under terrlflo shell fire all the time. In Alsaco tho wounded had to be brought down from the top of a hilt (No. X') on mulcback or on sprlng less carriages, and they suffered great pain In being Jolted down this narrow mountain path. Moreover, It took from three to four hours to transport them. Our men, therefore, decided that thoy would attempt this with motor ambu lances, and although it was a dangerous undertaking they carried it out and are now ablo to go up this pass and down again within an hour, thus saving many lives Much pain, too, Is avoided In this nay. Tho brakes, of course, havo to bo changed several times In a night, as tho terrlblo descent wears them out, and It is a curious sight to seo our men lying) under the cars effecting the transfer with Httlo electric torches. Often we aro with in 800 yards of the Germans." "I recollect one night when wo were sleeping In an abandoned military bar rack, a huge German shell burst in tho building and shattered tho whole of one Bide. Luckily none of us were hurt. "In tho trench work It Is my duty to seo that nono of my men expose them selves unduly and that tho wounded are properly transported. Ono gets perfectly accustomed to shells flying around, and a day or two ago wo wero working In one trench only 25 feet away from tho Germans. Tho Interchange of notes be tween the French and German soldiers Was most amusing. They pitched them across to each other, and the contents Were scarcely flattering! Tor Instance, a French soldier would write, 'Tho 14th of July Is coming) Look out for yourselves, for wo mean to glvo you a fitting cele brutlonl' He would then pitch tho noto across to tho German trench and In re turn receive a noto: 'Do not grow ex cited) Our Zeppelins are preparing a raid on your beloved Paris and the weather tonight Is favorable!' AGP.EU NOT TO SHOOT. "I havo perused many of these notes," continued Dr. Gros, laughing heartily, "and soma of them are very witty. Many of them aro quite conciliatory In tone. 'If you won't shoot tomorrow, neither will we!' would come hurtling on a little piece of white paper through tho Inter vening space. Tho enemies would then enjoy a rest for a day, "In one Belgian trench the two oppos ing forces agreed that the mutual pop ping out of heads would bo allowed, for both French and German soldiers felt so uncomfortable to think that the raising of the head meant that It would probably be blown off, nnd a sort of truce In tho matter wao arranged." "Is It true that the French and Ger man soldiers sometimes meet and chat quite amicably?" I asked, Mr Oross shook his head. "Very sel domand It is a dangerous business." he answered "Near two onemy trenches was a pump, and the soldiers did agree to fetch water from there without shoot ing each other. They approached each other somewhat gingerly, and retreated With tho water still more gingerly. It was an amusing sight to watch. Com plications arose when the Hessian regi ment removed one night and In Its place came Bavarians. The Frenchman did not learn of tho Interesting change until they met tho newcomers face to face at the pump and It was an embarrassing situation Neither knew If the other was going to fire or not." "Please tell me how the armored cars are contributed?" I inquired. "Fifteen hundred dollars represents a contribution toward an ambulance and Its upkeep for six months," said Doctor arf'S, "and every car has a plate next the driver with the name of the donor on Marie Georganna ALL of her life, or at least all of It , blnce she had come to live at Mary Ellen's house, Marie Georganna had wanted to see the outdoors at night. But never once had sho succeeded. For, you see, Mary Ellen was such a tiny little housekeeper and such a care ful little mother that she never, never, never left her precious dolls outdoors dear me. no' Was Marie Georganna a doll' Yes. Indeed, didn't you guess that? Maria Georganna was a most beautiful bo eA tout wonderful ttonea of the Aaj)jMMff of the night. AuSi bhe had yoMi hair and big brown ya oiid 4 uaiUom silk dr tuui real is. u . tti k at that I No wonder he n,i,!r v.a& (.ireful ot b You wouldn't ,.; .(I fcl jut vt k.4r tA lllb.t U he ntSsa I J UU 1 am BTK Vt tb.it wmtfVv WHmm JKvyraSaDtB' 7t?sCfiXiiJ-r I' It The Emergency Aid Society of Phila delphia has contributed several, and they havo accomplished wonderful work Har vard and Princeton Universities each con tributed a car, nnd through Miss IC Hart, of 1603 Spruce street, Philadelphia, two Philadelphia ambulances have been given. Wo have 100 cars altogether." "How do theso young American men stand tho hardships of the firing lino?" 1 asked. "Magnlflcenllyl" said Dr. Gros, "There wbb such a hard pressuro of work toward Alsace that for IS das our men never once had their clothes off, not even re moving lho.tr shoes, but slept every night under cars, exposed to heavy fire and bursting shells. They displayed perfect courogo, although their danger was even greater than that of the soldiers, since they were quite unarmed, and If a bay onet charge had taken place, as was very probable, they would not have had tho slightest chance." These young fellows, principally re cruited from Harvnrd, Vale and Prlnco ton, receive no pay beyond 1 franc a day (20 cents) for Incidental expenses, and, ns to food, receive tho regular ra tions of tho French army. They Join for a period of threo months, which, of course, can be extended, and generally Is and they pay their own passage across tho Atlantic and also tho cost of thcli uniform. "In the case of those Unablo to pay their traveling expenses," Bald Captain Grog, "we assist them from a fund gath ered In Now York for that very purpose. We havo several professors In our sec tion, Including Mr. A. Piatt Andrew, pro fessor of political economy nt Harvard University, who Is acting as Inspector of ambulances with us." FRENCH SOLDIEP.B SUPEIIB. "You And the French soldiers very bravo?" I asked. "Bravo beyond all human understand ing, said Doctor Gros. "They never com plain, and through tho agonizing dress ings wo perform they never utter a groan. Tho awful part Is that this liv ing In the earth Is so unnatural that all sorts of peculiar cases and Infections oc cur, nnd we havo many cases of tetanus nnd gas gangrene. The latter Is too ter rlblo for Words. A fetid gas Is produced nnd tho poor fellows are swelled up be yond nil recognition. Ono case In a ward will render that ward untenable for weeks, and there Is no chnncc of recov ery unless you apply a certain treatment very cnrly. Wo have been nblo to savo marly Incipient cases In this way. "I was particularly Interested In the extension treatment for shattered arms and legs In every ward I saw men with their arms stretched straight out on a stiff board and supported at right angles to their bodies. One soldier had, his band ages fastened with a largo clasp modeled as a military aeroplane, and ho proudly told mo that his was tho 'aeroplane, splii.t.' "Tho American uniform closely resem bles tho British, a fact," said Captain Gros, smiling, "which clearly demon strates that Britain and America wero never mado to be combatants, The Eng lish khaki was originally taken from our American olive-green, which we still use. Our American enp differs from tho Eng lish In Us leather vizor. AMERICA SHOULD FIGHT. "In my official capacity as an American ofllcer of the Red Cross service I do not wish to glvo any opinion on America's attitude In the war," continued Doctor Gros, "but In my private capacity as an American I do think that America should light. America sooner or later will havo to go In, and the Booner 'she doeB go in tho better for her own dignity. "America should have severed diplo matic relations tho mlnuto Belgium was Invaded, America had signed Tho Hnguo convention, and, like the other nations, should havo piotcsted. The question Is now on even graver one. For, outside of tha engagements which sho certainly made In signing a treaty like The Hague treaty, tho destruction of lives of Ameri can citizens has occurred to complicate matters. The shocking affair of the Lu sltanla Is beyond words, and it Is the clear duty of America to protect her citi zens abroad. Americans are looked upon as friends and regarded very kindly here." This is a fact which was borne In on me the other evening when I attended a movlng-plcture show here in Paris. Toward tho end of the performance a picture was shown of American young men flying with tho French army. This was called tha American flotilla, and tho audience rose to their feet and cheered till the roof rang again and again) The demonstration was extreme ly enthusiastic, and remarks most flat tering to American courage were Bhouted by the French. "Ah, these young Amer icans: how brave, how noble, how Belf sacrlflclng they are," the audience was shouting and they meant it, too. Doctpr Gros informed me that Ameri cans make splendid aviators. "Some of these boys who came over here knew nothing about flying." he said, "but sev eral of them showed such aptitude that In a few weeks they became experts flyers, and one of them, Elliot Cowden. of Harvard University, who has been flying less than three months. Is already able to execute the moat difficult feats In the air. Mr. William Thaw, of Pittsburgh, too, at the age of 22, has already been cited for his courage twice, given the Order of trie French Army and has been pro moted to a lieutenancy." Sho had heard of the outdoor world from the big rag doll, who, being very old and quite colorless, was often let on the front porch or In the hammock. And tbo big rag doll, having no beautiful silk dread and no boots at all, had to make up some way. So she told wonderful stories of the happenings of the night. Marie Georganna, not realizing that the rag doll would gladly have stayed In forever If Buch staying In would have given her a pair of real shoes, listened enviously to all that she was told. Imagine then her delight when, on a warm slimmer evening. Mary Ellen was invited unexpectedly to taka an automo bile ride and went quickly away without a thought for her doll lying under the hammock. " "Ob, I suppose she'll remem ber when she gets back and I'll have to go in then," said Marie Corganna, "but even a little is better than nothing!" But Mary Ellen didn't remember. It was so late when she got home and she was so sleepy and tired that she tum bled into her little bed as qulekly aa ever sne could So Marie Georsinna vfas out the whole night But. alas, for herl Tha moon, that beautiful moon that the rag dell bad said so much about, didn't shine. The stars sparkled tor a while, then drew little valla ovr their faeea aa though they didn't ear ta be seen. And, worst of all. when the night waa half over, tiny warm raindrops splashed down on Marts Georganna's curly head. "Oh, dear," orlad the distressed doll "I don't tatRk I like tela one bit. It may 4a tor rag dolls, but not tat me I I've had quite noughl Never again will 1 wish to way out all night."

Lciois, However, Is Conducting a Summer School for Philadelphia Children Which Teaches Them Independence, Initiative and Individuality. IMAGINE a school whero tho children rush off eagerly In tho morning for their lessons and must Do urged to lcavo In tho afternoon I That Is tho kind of n school founded and conducted by Miss Mary II. Lewis, for flvo years a member of tho faculty of the University of Pennsylvania Sum mer School. The children, figuratively, "cry for school," and the Joyousncss with which thoy attend classes has attracted the attention of tho leading educators of tho country. For threo years Miss Lewis hns been putting the theory of tho school into practice "Modern schools aro too artificial," said Miss Lewis today, as sho watched a group of her wards engrossed In a "fence" which they wero hammering to gether at the Nowton school, 33th nnd Chestnut streets. Miss Lewis la conduct ing her school of observation and semi nary In elementary education thero. "Tha secret of success In teaching children Is to got away from tho artificiality which surrounds them." Miss Lewis, who Is the founder and principal of the unlquo Park school, nt Buffalo, N. Y., began tho Innovation In primary education by "kidnapping" somo school children In New York for tho first experiment. "I had a theory that something was wrong with the education of little chil dren." sho said. "I first camo to this conclusion about six jcara ago by ob serving tho effect that primary education, as administered In tho schools, Boemed to havo upon little children. They seemed to be missing something vital nnd Im portant. I finally decided to kidnap my children and take them whero they could havo tho sort of environment which they ought to have. I took them to tho (ichool's roof, where they wero constantly thrown upon their own initiative, freo from the artificialities bf tho modern REDINGOTES AND OF SAME THE popularity of the rcdlngote promises to remain with us until late In the autumn, to Judge by tho num ber of street frocks which are being shown by tho Now York wholesale houses In this unique design. You will find that most women favor the one-piece trotteur for Btreot wear because It Is so emi nently sane and prac tical. And it's Just as comfortable as It Is fashionable, so there are plenty of argu ments In favor of the redlngoto. Of course, each sea son brings In Its varied utylea In fabric and color, and fall modes reflect the best choice and thought of our American costumers. T o d a ys Illustration shows a smart trotteur to wear on cool fall days ut the seashore or in late October on the street. The material utilized Is fine navy serge, with a combin ing silk In the green and blue plaid tints. The style Tecalla the redlngote, although It could be traced back to the old-fashioned princess gown in this season of revivals. The gulmpe Is made of the taffetas, with large ball buttons run ning the full length of the sleeve. A sort of jumper effect Is given to the bodice by means of this gulmpe, and the wide nrmholes are dis tinctively outlined with a band of hand em broidery in self tones. A sash of the taffetas confines the fullness of this gown to the proper places, living it a plain, flaring line, particularly at the botton of the skirt. The smart felt sailor worn with this costume Is one designed for street wear by a fa mous concern. The hat is made of a wonderful ahade of blue-green felt, with a band of white kid around the crown. Summer Suits and Wraps Bhantung, pongee and all of that distinguished family are used to fashion the suit for aumrner, and not only In natural osier, but in blue, gray and how aa well A suit on simple Unas with many pockets, and, of course, a bait, waa faubJfified of mohair, a mixture of blaek and white etelaa a gMn-MM(al taut, ft made a ttuasiug suit for traveling.

When thu children needed cocoa they mado It; when they needed oilcloth-covered tables, they covered tho tablcB. In such work thero was n real motive." After a year of natural freedom In health, scholarship and attitude townrd school as n placo of business, tho experi ment was pronounced a success. When Miss Lowls went to Buffalo Bho secured an old cstato of about two acres, with an old home, which was remodeled for offices, dining room nnd assembly room. Simple and cheap open bungalows wero built among tho trees. Tho children, who ranged from tho kindergarten through tho soventh grade, mado oilcloth aprons, raised chickens, constructed a concreto walk across a muddy stretch nnd mado nil tho simple apparatus for their gym nnslum. A motive wns apparent In every thing thoy did Through their games and work they learned to. have consideration for other children, thus making for "team work." "Ono of tho grades sot a hen, and when the chickens were hatched a coop had to bo made," said Miss Lewis. "Then they made a runway. Tho next year the same children took over tho 'chicken business,' spiling eggs and buying feed. They actually mado a profit of more than $10 with nlno hens. Can any ono wonder why It Is Impossible to punish ono of theso children by 'keeping him In' after Bchool7 "I havo a perfect horror of tho typical domestic science laboratory, whero each girl's problem Is to cook an onion, make cream sauco for tho onion and then cat tho onion. Our girls planned the entile furnishing and equipment of our kitchens, and tho food they cook Is hungrily de voured by the hundred children who stay for lunch every day. Tho cooks get tho praise, too, that women get all too sel dom for a well-cooked meal." At the tablo tho children sing, If they care to, and tell narratives, or engage In an Impromptu langungo lesson, while tho 'head waiter,' a pupil chosen because of Ms merits, directs tho other 'waiters.' also pupils In tho novel school. Ono ADAPTATIONS FOR AUTUMN WEAR PLAID 3IUC WITH WBitGS W i,"r'mMJ' 'KT?nl' hour each day Is spent In pelted quiet, to tench tho value of relaxation. Visitors aro often surprised that thero Is order without discipline, and learning with bo much Joy abounding. That tho school la a success la attested to by thu fact that tho scholarship of Us pupils equals, or exceeds, that of tho pupils of other Buffalo ochools, and that many supposedly unmanageable pupils from other schools aro sent to tho Park School and successfully -educated, according to rcportB. "Wo havo no trouble becauso tho chil dren aro Interested in acquiring an edu cation for themselves, Instead of having It given to them," continued Miss Lewis. "Most schools provent tho acquisition of tho qualities of good citizenship good Judgment, self-control, assumption of re sponsibility, clear thinking, courageous nctlon, nnd consideration for other per sons If children, nn children, are not trained to think and Investigate for themselves, when will they learn to think clearly and Independently? Perhaps all tho education that tho people of a city havo Is aimed to kill all of theso things as early as possible. Study the crowded conditions of some of our largo city schools and seo If that Is not true. The Park School Is attempting to provide happy, serviceable and efficient citizens for future Buffalo." A Corn Holder There are a great many fastidious people who refuse corn on tho cob be causo of tho difficulty In eating It. Any critical observer will ndmit that It Is moro or less of a revealing operation to take a large car of corn, or oven a pleco of one, and navlgato It successfully enough that tho hands are perfectly dry after tho performance Enterprising manufacturers gave us tho new corn holders a Beason or so ago. They wore mado of plain tin or eteel, with sharp points at cither end which aro Inserted In the soft fibre of tho centro of tho ear. These will keep tho hands quite dry, and are fashioned of bone, plated ware, or plain material, according to tho fancy of the purchaser. SUFFRAGE AT WILLOW GROVE W. C. T. U.

"There Is no reason whatsoovcr why an experienced woman uhould not bo elected superintendent of schools." This statement, mado today by Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson, honorary president of tho Civic Club and president of the Acorn Club nnd tho Contemporary Club and a recognized leador In many phases of woman endeavor, Is regarded ns a sure indication that a woman will bo supported by the members of thoso clubs for the position mado vacant through the death of the lato Dr. William C. Jacobs. "The best person for tho position, re gardless of sex, should bo elected,'! said Mra. Stevenson. "That, I think, repre sents the attltudo of the Civic Club. Tf a woman prove the best administrator, aha should be chosen." Mrs. Stevenson pointed out tho excel lent opinion which Chicago has of Its superintendent of schools. Dr. Ella Flagg Young. Doctor Young, who has been a teacher and educator sinco 1SC2, Is regarded by many as having been one of tho decid ing factors for woman suffrage In Illinois. Her record, virtually nn unbroken tri umph, was pointed to as an example of what a voman can accomplish In a posi tion requiring unusual administrative ability. Doctor Young has been superin tendent of the Chicago schools elnco August 1. 1909, except for a period of 13 days In 1313, when she resigned and was later triumphantly rc-clcctcd. She Is prominent In educational and women's clubs and Is also an editor and author. Mrs. Stevenson nnmed three Philadel phia women who, in her opinion, repre sent the highest educational Ideals. They are Dr. Lucy L. "W. Wilson, head of the biological department of tho Girls' Nor mal School: Miss Katherlno E. Puncheon, head of the Philadelphia High School for Girls, and Miss Margaret T. Magulre, principal of tho George Washington Pub lic School. "All threo are admirable women, and all three have 'made good.' " continued Mrs. Stevenson. "Mrs, Wilson, in par ticular, has enjoyed peculiarly, excellent advantages. If it came to a test of prep aration for the position of superintend ent, one would find that Mrs. Wilson has the best preparatory record. "Mrs. Wilson's training has been rare, even for a man.
