II GERMAN GIRLS
PUNISHED FOR
INDISCRETIONS
-.—
Association with Americans Is
Frowned Upon by Popu
lace of Occupied Zone
—Girls Ostracized
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, July 21 (Correspon
dence of Associated Press).—Posters
written in German and warning Ger
man girls against associating with
Americans appeared recently in sev
eral public places in Coblenz and
other towns on the Rhine, the girls
J being urged to refrain from making
- the acquaintance of soldiers regard
less of the fact that the treaty of
peace had been signed. At various
times posters have been put uj
threatening indiscreet girls with pun
ishment of one kind or another.
American officers who have inves
tigated say the Germans are determ
ined that girls who associate with the
soldiers shall have their names
known to the population and that
several secret societies have been
formed for that purpose. lntelli
gence officers say that on several
occasions the names of girls who are
on the records of the German police
for associating with Americans have
been read to the congregations a1
Sunday morning church services. In
other villages the practice of posting
J the girls’ names in public places was
Z inaugurated some time ago.
The officers assert that blacklists
of the girls’ names have been pre
pared and are being kept for future
use, after the Americans are gone.
GIVES SURE TEST
FOR INTOXICATED ONES
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 5 (by
mail).—Can you say “Methodist Epis
copal" without getting your tongue
twisted? If you can’t you’re liable
to arrest for intoxication in this city.
Dr. Carl S. Dieterle, chief police sur
geon at the receiving hospital, testi
| fying at the trial of a woman charged
with driving an automobile while in
toxicated, was asked how he de
termined that she was under the in
fluence of intoxicating liquor.
“I asked her if she could say
‘Methodist Episcopal’ ”, he replied.
“Do you consider the inability to
pronounce that name evidence of
intoxication,” he was asked.
“Most assuredly,” the physician re
plied.

IMPORTANT ROAD PLAN
HAS BEEN FINANCED
PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 23 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A plan for financing
the highway from Phoenix to Yuma,
Arizona, considered one of the most
important road projects with vhich
the Salt River Valley is concerned,
. has been announced by State En
1 gineer Maddock.
The proposed road would connect
with the California system of paved
1 roads and would place Phoenix exact
ly 386 miles from tidewater at San
Diego.
Of the total cost of approximately
$2,175,000, it is estimated by Mr.
Maddock that, with the assistance of
state and federal funds now availa
ble or to be available in 1920, the
sum of $1,775,000 can be obtained for
the road. With this latter amount, it
is said, a fast road can be built for
the entire distance, with the elimina
tion only of certain permanent con
struction, such as concrete dips.
The length of the proposed high
way will be about 189 miles.
Special dinner served from 11:30
o’clock every day at the City Bakery.
