"Oh, I am lost ngnln. Where do I
put this thumb? Truly I fear I shall

Seeing the girls tear nnd wrap band
gees, administer first aid, put bandages
and slings on each other, use sewing ma

made the visitor think of real hospital
work at the front. Red gross nurses, of
ficers from the army and navy and physi

jt There Is nothing "spoony" about this,
as some might think, upon reading the
words "spelling with their arms." It is
simply a system of giving and receiving
I signals at a distance, when shouting would
, be Inopportune and telephones out of the
question.
f. Whole classes of 40 or BO girls tako
the lesson together, and the waving' of

Windmill.
TALK BY SECRETARY ROOSEVELT.
In an address to the wome.n Tuesday
afternoon Franklin D. Roosevelt, As-
' slstant Secretary of the Navy, told them
that the departments of the government
' , at Washington never have worked to
, gether effectively.
"It Is a case of misdirected energy,"
'. he said with spirit. "Each department In
Itself is all right. But I find dally In
my work that the various departments
omlap and there Is no correlation.
"Ths camp which you, women have
founded will teach the value of correla
tion. I think this first woman's camp
will ert a tremendous Influence all 0-er
the country. It will make a bigger Im
pression than you ever realize. It Is a
first step, but an effective first step."
Secretary Koosevelt thinks Plattsburg
Is. a turning point In national history.
He says it has started people to think
ing and made men realize they owe a
duty to their country, and ha thinks the,
Chevy Chase camp will do the same thing
for the women of tho nation.
' He scorned the idea of the orator who
says that an army of a million men will
spring up In a night should occasion for
their services arise, saying; "That sounds
like a beautiful thing In oratory, but It
has Jlttle beaufy for anything else."
Madame Slavko Groultch, who was In
Serbia when the world war began, gave
nigh praise to the Americans for their
supremacy in surgical Instruments, say
ing: "I came to the conclusion that If
America Is not prepared to kill people,
she Is prepared to make them whole."
She spoke In glowing terms of the won
derful way In which Americans can adapt
themselves to circumstances and how
they are always willing to pitch In and
help la a crisis.

JAILS 'PEEPING' JULIUS
FOR SPYING ON LOVERS
Magistrate Orders Merciless
Crusade to Protect Lovers in
Fairmount Park
Peeping Toms. Peeping Harrys nnd
everybody elRe that may have predilection
for peeping on these warm May evenings
when lovers whisper sweet nothings on
the benches In Fairmount Park - ould bet
ter beware, for If the peeper I. caught It
will probably mean a 30-day sojourn In
tho county prison.
It so happened with "Peeping" Julius
Hnmlin, a negro, of 3717 Warren street,
who wns nabbed last night while taking
a good long peep at n younit couple, listen
ing blissfully to the frog symphony on
tho west river drive In Knlrmount Park.
When Mnglstrato Stevenson today sen
tenced "Peeping" Julius to the county
prison, he Issued n warning to other peep
ers, saying that a like fate would be meted
out to them If they were caught.
"Ah I understand It." said Maglstrato
Stevenson. "Knlrmont Park Is especially
designed for young couples, who are nt
liberty to occupy tho benches In the eve
ning If they behave themselves. There
Is no reason why that tender nnd world
old sentiment called love should not bud
nnd bloom respectably in the twilight.
This court will not nllow tho vulgar nnd
depraved peeper to Interfere with the
decent enjoyment of couples. Every per
son found Kiillty of peeping will get 30
days from this court. I hope the Park
guards will Rtait early and clean up the
peepers,"
Parle Guard Shohert saw Hamlin crouch
ing behind some hushes near a bench oc
cupied by n couple. Soon, he testified, he
saw Hamlin run and dodge about for a
short distance, and crouch down behind
n bench occupied by another pair.
Hamlin's eyes were opened so wide that
tho whites of them glittered when they
came in contact with the rays ot a lamp.
After watching tho negro flit about like
a firefly, peeping h,ero and there, Shobert
grabbed him.

ns resulting principally from tho British
fniluro to take the operation seriously

"Tho thrust ngalnst Bagdad had been
most superficially calculated," says tho

on November 13 last was the punishment.
General Townshend's expedition would
have been the right thins for Sudan, whore
possibly It might have been successful
against half-naked savages, armed with
spears and shields, but against a modern
Turkish army It was simply 'a foolish
trick.1
"Major Moraht pays tribute to the brav

them nothing against the superior strategy
of Field Marshal von tier Goltz, who first
with a heavy drive pushed them back
like a football and then encircled them

JUDGE BUYS IN WHtTEMARSlt
John 4ber Miller Gets Colonial
House and 1600 Acre-
John "aber Millet', Judge oil the Com
mon Pleas Court of Montgomery County,
has purchased, through Ilerkness ft
Stetson, from the estate ot Daniel "WIIU
lams, a Colonial residence wljh arm
buildings and 1800 acres of ground on
Stenton nvenue. In the TVhltemareh Vnlfey,
west of Chestnut Hill. '
Tho property wns held for Bale at $66,
000, nnd sold close to that figure. It
adjoins tho Erdenhelm Stock Farm, of
28S acres, recently sold to George D,
Wfdener, Jr., and is In a section In which
severnl large country houses have been
built, Including those of Kdward Krumb
haar nnd John Straw-bridge. The tract
recently purchased by K. T. Stotesbury,
on which ho Is building a residence to
cost $1,000,000, Is adjacent to that pur,
chased by Judge filler.
If these
Perry
Spring Suits
were just clothes
at $15
$18, $20, $25
there would be no more
in the message of this
column than in that of
those that are "like" it!
Cf And therein is the
cue for the sensible
man in the market for
a new Spring Suit
it's the Store, not the
story, that merits your
investigation.
Cf You're looking for
tailoring, not talk; for
cut and character in
the making, not claims
about them; for Per
sonality in clothes, not
piffle in print about
prices. And we tell
you right here and
now, that while Perry
prices have the same
Arabic origin as to the
ciphers, the Fit and
Finish of the Suits
themselves is what
makes them cut a
figure at every price!
