She's Frances Jordan, whose picture was selected by Uncle Sam himself from among 22,000 photographs submitted in a nation-wide contest. A committee of famous arti-ts made the selection, and in accordance witb their choice Miss Jordan's picture waa used on the calendar pos- ters for government .Insurance for soldiers, which were dis- tributed broadcast In every training camp in America. Frances Jordan has a big brother in training camp and an uncle "over there," so she has a right to her title of "the soldiers' ideal!" (Special to The Times.) BRITISH ARMY HEADQUAR- TERS, FLANDERS, June 15.— The story of the reason for the desperate assaults delivered by the Germans againn Mont dcs Cats, one of the hill defenses of Ypres, in the recent drive has now become known. It has no military foundation, and It will probably be the occa- sion for another attempt to cap- ture the position and the territory surrounding it when the Germans resume their Flanders offensive. Here is the story: In the autumn of 1914 the Ger- mans passed over Mont dcs Cats, and the ancient Trapist monastery on it was rudely invaded. The Belgian monks, treated the Ger- mans as civilly as possible. Soon a British cavalry detachment came up the road, and a sharp skirm- ish followed. The Germans were driven from the hill into Meteren, but they left behind a young cavalry offi- cer with many ribbons on his breast who was dying. He was Prince Max of Hesse, a mere boy, and a cousin of Kais- er Wilhelm. The monks tended him in the monastery until he died, and that night they burled him in the valley below. CHECK WAITS FOR TACOMAN The Tacoma Real Estate asso- ciation has been asked to ascer- tain the present address of Farnk, or Francis, 11. Bvana, who was connected with the Cascade Realty Co. of Tmcoma In 1906. His last know address is re- ported to have been at 1(10 1-t South Tacoma avenue. The In- quiry camee from an eastern cor- poration which is desirous of re- mitting to Kvan* a dividend oheck. Letters addressed to him at Tacoma hare been returned to the corporation unclaimed. Any one knowing Mr. Evans' •Adreu may eend aame to A. S. OraXton, secretary of Tacoma Real Brtrte alaoeUUoo, Tel. Main »70. Prettiest Girl in America to Tell Beauty Secrets When she was selected as the "prettiest girl in Amer- ica" there was a great rush of women to ask her "Why and How?" To their questionings Miss Jordan, who is 18, only smil- ed and said: "If I am as pretty as the artists say I am, I guess it is only because I am natural. I haven't any beauty secrets. I have never been on a diet. "Good home cooking, a nat- ural, .simple, normal life, and splendid home surroundings make up my life. I am very fond of outdoor sports. lam an expert swimmer and spend a great deal of time In the water." And then—altlio she "had PRINCE'S GRAVE IS OBJECT OF ATTACK I Soon after the kaiser sent word to know the whereabouts of the prince's grave. The old French abbot sent the following reply: "Tell the kataer Uiat I will let him know the priwe's burial plan; when tlicrc are no more German MoUlicrs in. . Belgium, and wiieii restitu- tion has been made fi« the crimes against our |ieople." Since then the furious battles of Ypres took place and the Ger- mans were driven back from Mont dcs Cats. The old monastery was left In peace until this spring, when Kemmel was captured, and the monks departed. The kaiser has made several more efforts to find out where his cousin is in- terred, but to no avail. He is figuring now that if his soldiers can capture and hold Mont dcs Cats, he will learn where Prince Max is buried and disinter the body, for burial with royal honors in Germany. DIPLOMAS AT LINCOLN no beauty secrets"—came the explanation of much of the perfection of form and color anil vitality which makes Frances Jordan the "prettiest girl in America." The "prettiest girl" com- bines a few physical culture exercises with her daily dip, and with her deep breathing, and her sand-pranclngs, has a delicious air-bath as well ac a sea-bath. The most inflexible muscles and the most refractory com- plexion could not long resist such beauty lotions—water, air and exercise. Frances Jordan's owim de- scription of her beach beauty exercises will run daily for a while in The Times, starting next week. TO EXEMPT IRISH HERE (I'ultrrt Preaa I.curd Wlrf.) WASHINGTO, D. C, June 15. —Irish and Australians in this country are exempted and only Americans between the ages of 21 and 31 are subjected to draft in Great Britain and Canada, under the British-American military con- vention now awaiting ratification by the IT. 8. senate. Details of the treaty which be- came known today, disclosed that it required a formal exchange of notes between the IT. S. and Great Britain to settle the question re- lating to application of American draft age limits to American in Great Britain and Canada. The British military service acts which govern the operation of the treaty would make all Americans in Great Britain and Canada between 18 and 49 liable to draft into the British army. But in the note* exchanged by Lord Reading and Secretary Lan- sing it Is agreed that the U. 8. may claim exemption for its citi- zens under 21 and over 31. The first class to complete a four-year course at the Lincoln high school, with 150 students, graduated Friday evening and re- ceived diplomas at the commence- ment exercises at the school. The diplomas were presented by Mrs. Ida McQuesten, vice president of the school board.

I At a patriotic Flag Day pro- gram at the Elks' temple Friday |evening. Clark V. Savidge made an appeal for the Red Cross and for nil patriotic movements. The program was completed with some musical numbers and an Impressive altar service where three wreaths of red, white and blue were laid. One Too Many For the Judge In police court the other day, a witness, in describing one or the men in a fight, told Judge Hack- ett that the man had "near- Kent hair." "Near-Kent hair"! exclaimed the Judge with a surprised look on his face "What do you mean?" "Auburn, yer honor," replied the witness; whereupon Jwlft Hackett ordered the cave dis- missed. ' Saturday, June 15,1918.-THE TACOMA TIMES—Page Eight, CITY CAR BUSINESS BOOMING Figures on the sale of street car tickets of the municipal street railway indicate that the traffic iiu \u25a0 been steadily increasing : nin- th o first of the year. A statement given out Friday by Commissioner of Finance Fred Shoemaker show the receipts for cash fares and ticket sules to be as follows: , Casli Tickets 1918. Fares. Sold.

The marked increase In the sale of tickets is evidence that the traffic on the city's street lines is heading for a big increase, and Commissioner Shoemaker believes that this Increase will not only continue but will show up to even greater advantage by the end of the year. GROCERS TO CUT PRICES (Special to The Times.) SPOKANE, June IB.—By unanimous vote Spokane grocers agreed voluntarily to sell all their stocks of wheat substitutes at quotations fixed by the price in- terpreting committee of the food administration. This means a reduction in the retail price of most of the sub- stitutes of about 2 cents a pound, the grocers undertaking on patri- otic grounds to sell their present stocks at a loss. If wholesale prices should go still lower the retailers have agreed to cut their retail prices proportionately.

THIS MAN ABLE TO WORK NOW FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS Says Tanlac Gave Him Biggest Surprise of His Life—Gains 20 Pounds. "Well, I have Just finished my third bottle of Tanlac, and do you know I had the surprise of my life the other day when I got on the scales and found 1 had actual- ly gained twenty pounds already," said VV. S. Hukill, a well known carpenter, living at 7308 Park Avenue, Taeoma, Wash., recently. "I hadn't been able to hit a lick of work in two years, until now," he continued. "My appetite went square back on me, and what lit- tle I did manage to eat soured on my stomach, causing gag and in- tense suffering. My kidneys both- ered me something awful and my back pained me so bad it was tor- ture for me to have it rubbed. I was so nervous and miserable dur- ing those two years that I never knew what a good night's sleep was, and for seven months of that time I was flat on my back, hard- ly able to move. I, of course, was under treatment, spent some time in the hospital, and took all kinds of medicines, but with it all I kept getting worse. "I kept dropping off In weight until I lost forty-seven pounds, and was almost a living skeleton. When I left the hospital and de- cided to see what Tanlac would do for me, I weighed only ninety- five pounds. But Tanlai' certainly has made a wonderful change in me. I sleep fine, and really it's the first time In two years I have been able to sleep the ni^ht thru. My back and kidneys don't bother me any more and my stomach is in such a good condition that I can eat just anything I want without Buffering a particle afterwards. The way I am getting back my lost weight is astonishing. As I said, I have already gained twenty pounds, and I am still gaining. Not only that, I feel better than I have in years, and I am going back to my work, as I feel strong and well In every way, and I Just can't praise Tanlae enough for what It has done for me." Tanlao is sold .In Tacona bj French Drng Co., under the per- sonal direction of a special Tan- lac representative. AdTertl—neny BRILLIANT NEW STAR ; SEEN FROM TACOMA The new star, discovered in the southeastern sky, last Saturday by Mi.iitists studying the solar eclipse, 1b clearly visible from Tacoma after nightfall, accord- ing to Prof. F. W. Hanawalt of the College of Puget Sound. The so-called "new" star Is probably ages old, but some un- known caiisy has made it flare forth Into sudden brilliance. Only four other stare have ever been noted since historic tlmee to burnt into equal prominence, ac- cording to Prof. Hanawalt, who lias made observations of it bct- eral evenings this week. New stars aro not nf<\u25a0<\u25a0• sarily new bodies formed In solar Kj>ace. They may be "dark" stars which thru Borne agency become bril- liant. Something causes the u-ni peruture to rise suddenly and they burst forth with a new lus- ter and a new brilliance. This in only a surface heating of the star, however, and it will fade again, losing prominence among the thousands of stare in the > I \ How to I iii<l H. The brilliant star Vega reaches the meridian about 2 o'clock In the morning, bat It Is high enough in the northeastern sky to W ob- served several hours earlier. It is bright blue and there is no star likb it in that part or the heavens. The first magnitude Mar Altalr is about 35 degrees south of Vesa. It may be distinguished by the I'i.iuriuii from Seattle I 1 1. characteristic formation of three stars in a row. Altatr's compan- ions are less conspicuous, but the row of three stars is unmistak- able. two of the most famous "land- marks" of the summer skies. The new star, which has al- ready been given a name—Nova Aquilae— wa« nearly as l>rtght aa Vega, as seen from Tacoma oa Monday night, according to Prof. Hanawalt, but brighter >i,.m Al- tair. The new star was as brilliant an Vega and somewhat brighter than Altair. It will be found a little to the southwest of Altair and, of course, south of Vega Growing Fainter.

TERS, FLANDERS, June 15.—The story of the reason for thedesperate assaults delivered bythe Germans againn Mont dcsCats, one of the hill defenses ofYpres, in the recent drive hasnow become known.

It has no military foundation,and It will probably be the occa-sion for another attempt to cap-ture the position and the territorysurrounding it when the Germansresume their Flanders offensive.Here is the story:

In the autumn of 1914 the Ger-mans passed over Mont dcs Cats,and the ancient Trapist monasteryon it was rudely invaded. TheBelgian monks, treated the Ger-mans as civilly as possible. Soona British cavalry detachment cameup the road, and a sharp skirm-ish followed.

The Germans were driven fromthe hill into Meteren, but theyleft behind a young cavalry offi-cer with many ribbons on hisbreast who was dying.

He was Prince Max of Hesse,a mere boy, and a cousin of Kais-er Wilhelm. The monks tendedhim in the monastery until hedied, and that night they burledhim in the valley below.

Prettiest Girl in America to Tell Beauty Secrets

When she was selected asthe "prettiest girl in Amer-ica" there was a great rushof women to ask her "Whyand How?"

To their questionings MissJordan, who is 18, only smil-ed and said:

"If I am as pretty as theartists say I am, I guess it isonly because I am natural. Ihaven't any beauty secrets. Ihave never been on a diet.

"Good home cooking, a nat-ural, .simple, normal life, andsplendid home surroundingsmake up my life. I am veryfond of outdoor sports. laman expert swimmer and spenda great deal of time In thewater."

And then—altlio she "had

PRINCE'S GRAVE ISOBJECT OF ATTACK

I Soon after the kaiser sent wordto know the whereabouts of theprince's grave. The old Frenchabbot sent the following reply:

"Tell the kataer Uiat I willlet him know the priwe'sburial plan; when tlicrc areno more German MoUlicrs in. .Belgium, and wiieii restitu-tion has been made fi« thecrimes against our |ieople."Since then the furious battles

of Ypres took place and the Ger-mans were driven back from Montdcs Cats. The old monastery wasleft In peace until this spring,when Kemmel was captured, andthe monks departed. The kaiserhas made several more efforts tofind out where his cousin is in-terred, but to no avail.

He is figuring now that if hissoldiers can capture and holdMont dcs Cats, he will learnwhere Prince Max is buried anddisinter the body, for burial withroyal honors in Germany.

THIS MAN ABLE TOWORK NOW FIRST

TIME IN TWO YEARSSays Tanlac Gave Him

Biggest Surprise of HisLife—Gains 20

Pounds."Well, I have Just finished my

third bottle of Tanlac, and do youknow I had the surprise of mylife the other day when I got onthe scales and found 1 had actual-ly gained twenty pounds already,"said VV. S. Hukill, a well knowncarpenter, living at 7308 ParkAvenue, Taeoma, Wash., recently.

"I hadn't been able to hit a lickof work in two years, until now,"he continued. "My appetite wentsquare back on me, and what lit-tle I did manage to eat soured onmy stomach, causing gag and in-tense suffering. My kidneys both-ered me something awful and myback pained me so bad it was tor-ture for me to have it rubbed. Iwas so nervous and miserable dur-ing those two years that I neverknew what a good night's sleepwas, and for seven months of thattime I was flat on my back, hard-ly able to move. I, of course, wasunder treatment, spent some timein the hospital, and took all kindsof medicines, but with it all Ikept getting worse.

"I kept dropping off In weightuntil I lost forty-seven pounds,and was almost a living skeleton.When I left the hospital and de-cided to see what Tanlac would dofor me, I weighed only ninety-five pounds. But Tanlai' certainlyhas made a wonderful change inme. I sleep fine, and really it'sthe first time In two years I havebeen able to sleep the ni^ht thru.My back and kidneys don't botherme any more and my stomach is insuch a good condition that I caneat just anything I want withoutBuffering a particle afterwards.The way I am getting back my lostweight is astonishing. As I said,I have already gained twentypounds, and I am still gaining.Not only that, I feel better than Ihave in years, and I am goingback to my work, as I feel strongand well In every way, and I Justcan't praise Tanlae enough forwhat It has done for me."

Tanlao is sold .In Tacona bjFrench Drng Co., under the per-sonal direction of a special Tan-lac representative.
