Special Fsinbsrs Deals in the Next
campaisn.

Des Moines, April s.-Details Of an
interesting political incident which
throws light on the way the game Is
played in high reform circles have just
come to light. It was the climax OF the
fight over appointment Of judge IN
Polk county. AS everyone knows, Mr..
H. Cohen was one Of the political
managers for Governor Carroll In the
last primary, and as he is a shrewd and
resourceful politician he was OF Inn :
mense value to the governor in that
fight He was at least a receptive cam
didate for appointment as Judge and in
case he did not want it himself 1t was
supposed he would be Influential in
naming the man. But things went
wrong and friction arose. A day or two
before the appointment was made the
governors private secretary, so 1t is re-
lated, went to the office Of Mr.. Cohen
with the governors check on bank for
the full amount OF the contributions
and value Of services Of the aforesaid
Mr.. Cohen to the political reformation
which is led by Governor Carroll The
sum had been carefully footed up and
the check drawn accordingly. But while
Mr.. Cohen, as his name would suggest,
Is not averse to having money come
his way and come easy. became indig-
nant and flinging the check back call
ed off all friendly relations. In fact, II
what IL reported is half true, he said
some awful things that would not dc
to print.
At anv rate the alliance has been
broken and In another campaign there
will be no getting votes by deal like
the Feinberg case which Is recalled.

Gray Uniforms In Niaht Battles.

new gray uniform of the German
soldiers. While this attire proved it's
superior invisibility at the recent
maneuvers during the daytime II was
in the night fighting that its effective.
ness was best demonstrated In day
light men engaged in patrol duty and
security service was unseen by the
enemy; but those in dark blue in the
hostile forces at once drew their fire.
Numerous fights took place at night
with searchlights. and then it was
found that the gray was universally
appreciated
Troops wearing the old uniform
were clearly visible on the ground
even when lying down. while those
in gray we're extremely difficult to
discover, even when in close order
1t is obvious that any color harmon.
izing with the paleness of artificial
light will be more effective as a
shield from detection.-Army and

OLD-FASHIONED GIRLS GOOD
Those Who Find Their Way Into Ju-
vcnile Court Are Dressed In
Latest Style.

Mrs. Virginia Murray. matron OF the
Juvenile Detention Home in Column
bus. is authority for the statement
that the old-fashioned girl doesn't find
her way into the juvenile court. She
says that girls with the Bingham
frock and hair tied with ribbons never
appear before the Juvenile Judge. but
that nearly all of the girls appearing
before him are dressed in the latest
style.
A majority of the girls appearing
in the juvenile court are devotees OF
Dame Fashion. 1T is no uncommon
thing to see little girl of twelve or
fourteen dressed like a woman of ma
trre years. in hobble skirt and decol-
lete gown" says Mrs. Murray. and.
she adds. that I'VE have an awful
time in trying TO get the girls to dis
card rats and 'puffs.
Then this good woman who sees so
much OF waywardness. who comes into
direct contact with so many youthful
incorrigibles. gives this splendid ad-
vice TO mothers:
Il advise mothers to pay more at
tention to their daughters wardrobes.
Picture hats. high-heeled shoes. open
work stockings and very low cut
dresses are articles to be tabooed. -
