The work at the Rochester office is all the Questions at first entered ou the details of service pay, from pay. and of family watching the rookies drilling. He proudly pointed to his father among them, and ex claimed, "livery one but my pa Is marching out of step" And now little bovs may watch their uiuiumas drill, if the mammas belong to the Women's Motor Corps, which is a JkrnoM from the government. The tohime of these imiuiries has steadily in-ecised as the number of men in the It-Tire has grown. Verr recently, however, have come about communicating with men Association, under the general heading of "AVE" and "THEY." In those advertisements "WE" meant Americans; "TIIEY" meant the enemy.

May we for the moment consider "WE" and "THEY" from a different standpoint? "WE" over here are interested in what "THEY," our boys over there, are doing. What They do over there largely depends on what We are doing over here. If We fail to write frequently, They are discouraged and a discouraged man cant fight. If We fail to deny ourselves of those things They should have. They go without.

They over there pray that they may be as good men as We over here think They are. Let us pray that We over here may be as good men and women as They over there think We are. To assist all the We's to help and encourage the Theys over there, we have opened a shopping service in Paris. The headquarters of this service is out Paris office, maintained before the war for the purpose of purchasing merchandise for our stocks. Since the war, it has seemed far better that we devote such service to the service of those over here who would like to remember those over there.

If you have a son, a relative or friend over there, you would like to supply with something needful to his happiness, come to our store over here, tell us what it is and we will instruct our Paris office to get the article and see that it is delivered. There is no charge for this service anything we can do to help them over there is sufficient reward. To-day is the day we celebrate the anniversary of our independence as a nation. France, through Lafayette, men, money and moral support, made our freedom possible. France is now depending on us to help her win the fight for world freedom.

The best way We, over here, can help is to see that They, over there, know beyond a doubt that We appreciate all They are doing. Send a reminder of appreciation.

The corps members, However, do not march out of step; at least, none of the thirty-five young women who drilled yesterday afternoon at the Armory under Captain Mary W. Hoyt was out of step. The little company went through the intricate formations with as much readiness and sang-froid as they ordinarily exhibit over the tea table.

The Rochester branch of the Women's Motor Corps Is one of the many organizations that have sprung Into being on account of the war. The members are integral parts of the New York Guard; they are under a strict military routine; they are subject to call at any time. Each member provides her own car, gasoline uniform. Already they have done service in connection with the Ked Cross, the Laud Army, the draft boards and the marshal's office. Twice a wek they drill at the Armory.

The first public appearance of the corps will be made at Kx posit ion Park this morning. At this time the entire corps will be in uniform, and it is expected that it will evoke much favorable comment. The women take their duties seriously. This was evident at the drill Tuesday. Sworn frieuds parted readily at the command to fall In; some even stood next to and women with whom they bad intimat news of the men in ranee.

This has necessitated the sending of nu- fV.nmunications of the American Red Cm in Washington. Home folks are particularly anxious about the health of shose dear to them. Able to Get Information.

In view of the fact that irjrly 14.HM men from Monroe county ire now in the service, and practically ill of them have taken out war-risk in-wrance. it will be seen at once that the Hume Service Section receives many inquiries in regard to the details of insur-nce daily.

At present 3S families are under active care at their homes, while more than 1.00 families are in continual touch ith the section at the downtown office. Canteen in New Quarters. The Red Cross canteen, which now Beets all soldiers passing through the city, will occupy its uew quarters today.

Then the to break ranks was given and the soldiers became girls again. Instead of the measured tread of the drill most of them essayed the Pavlowa pirouette; hands which had held close to sides immediately went after the unruly curl; the strict silence gave way to the noisy bantering of superlatice adjectives-But they had showed they were really in earnest. The organization will undoubtedly grow and become stronger and be given ever-increasing duties that are essential in the prosecution of the war. The uniform of the corps is probably already familiar. One must question, however, the wisdom of some of the woman soldiers in wearing rings.

On some fingers diamonds and rubies sparkled yesterday afternoon. Of course, the gems show off to advantage against the khaai skirts, but still, Why? And for' the curious, one little fact is worth revealing. Those whose cuffs are trimmed with purple edging are under 21 years and those with the red are ovr 21.

The mail, addressed to Rosenberg Brothers, clothing manufacturers, at the plant in Fortland avenue, is said to be several days overdue, and the anxiety of officers of the firm caused the matter to be made public.

It is said that the first intimation of the disappearance of the mail sack was made when scraps of letters addressed to Rosenberg Brothers were found in Highland Tark. This was patched with the fact that the mails received at the clothing factory on Monday were unusually light. to it'by Henry Jolley, of No. 181 South avenue, and left standing with the en The Appellate Division of the Third Department at Albany has handed down a decision unanimously affirming an award made by Deputy State Industrial Commissioner Cyrus W. Phillips in a workmen's compensation case that establishes a new doctrine relating to the liability of deliverymen and milkmen who permit boys to ride with them and assist them in making deliveries.

The case is that of Herbert Feck, aged 11 years, who resides at No. 7 Zimbrick street, this city, and who at the time of the accident was riding on a milk wagon owned and driven by Henry Schomske. of No. 913 Joseph avenue, Rochester, and assisting -in delivering bottles of milk. Schomske testified that he did not employ the claimant, that the claimant asked permission to ride with him and frequently did ride with him in delivering milk.

On the day of the accident the claimant asked permission to ride with him, and he told him to get his mother's consent. The employer admitted that his driver occasionally gave the boy a nickel and that he sometimes gave him a dime. The boy slipped under the wheel and received an injury that resulted in the amputation of the leg just below the knee. The deputy commissioner ruled that the boy was an employee of Schomske within the meaning of the compensation law and made an award for the loss of the foot based on a wage of $12 a week, iron railing which runs as far as the end nf t.h huildinz at that point.
