GERMAN FOOD NOT SCARCE
Berne Declares Government Only
Seeks to Have Others Feed
Belgium.

London.-A dispatch from Berne
says:
"All Germany's war bread regula-
tons, war cookery schools and other
arrangements are not due to any real
scarcity of food, but are a pretext
to induce charitable Americans to feed
the Belgians and the French to feed
their people in the portion of France
occupied by Germany"
Reports from Vienna say that the
government has taken over all stocks
of rye, barley. maize and -four pro-
ducts.
The distribution of bread will be I'm.
dertaken in various districts.

OF the large SCHOOLS OF applleQ ART III
New York-not many blocks away
from the hospital where her first am
bition had spent it's brief life.
Started on Borrowed Money.
1t was after she had finished
short course in the art school that she
went to Europe. On her return she
went to work in the shop of an interior
decorator, where she remained three
weeks. At the end of that time she
decided to start in by herself.
Her friends tried to discourage her.
1t was perfectly impossible, they told
her, for an interior decorator to start
in alone in New York without all kinds
Of capital and all kinds of backing.
She would have to furnish her office,
to buy NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. sewing
machines and all the other parapherna-
liza of her trade. But Miss Ferris was
confident OF her own ability and her
own Judgment She borrowed five
hundred dollars, took tiny Office in a
first-class office building in the New
York shopping center and waited to
make good. In the meantime she told
everyone she knew about her plans,
and kept up with the alumnae activi-
ties of her alma mater.
One of the first orders that came to
her was to decorate the home of Miss
Woolley, the president of Mount Hol-
yoke college. Not long afterward the
Collegiate Equal Suffrage league
! opened little shop in the shopping
center of New York and Miss Ferris,
who is an enthusiastic suffragist her
self, offered to decorate the place free
provided the suffrage league would
| consult her on all decorating schemes.
/ The league had taken hopeless little
basement store. It was dark and
stuffy, but with thoughtful arrange
ment of yellow and brown and careful
ly arranged lights the little shop was
thoroughly transformed.
Soon Became Known.
There are many suffragists of wealth
and influence in New York and when
they came to the suffrage shop to buy
the latest book on the feminist move
ment, suffrage note paper, banners and
badges and other paraphernalia, they
were struck by the pleasing effect of
| the shop. Later when they thought
of having their town or country homes
furnished or refurnished, they would

| her that there Is great deal of help
| and assistance to be had in climbing
| the ladder to success just for the ask
| ing. Her tour of the great houses Of
England also taught her another thing.
That was that in spite of the wealth
and history that these houses showed,
there was still a great deal about
the furnishings that needed the work
of an interior decorator. In many Of
the old mansions that were formerly
furnished in the stately simplicity of
the Elizabethan or Jacobean era she
saw rooms done over in the Stuffy
atrocities of the Victorian era-dust-
collecting lambrequins, ottomans,
painted-velvet fire screens, Whatnots,
and a variety of gew-gaws that any
up-to-date American housewife would
have relegated to the attic years ago.
When Miss Ferris had made her tour
of England she went to Vienna, where
that art of interior decorating has re-
ceived more attention of late years
than it has in England. And here
again she succeeded by the same SIM
pie method in gaining an entree to
the best furnished houses of that cap,
ital. With this inspiration and expe.
rience she came back to America
ready to take up her profession of in
terror decorator.
Took Up New Work.
Miss Ferris Is graduate of Smith
college. and when she was graduated
she entered st. Luke's hospital in New
York to become a trained nurse. When
after a few months work she faced
the realization that she was not fitted
to stand the strain and fatigues of this
calling, her first feeling was one of
keen disappointment. Many young
women would have given up the hope
of making a career for themselves af-
ter this setback, but not so Miss Fer
ris. She went to work deliberately to
discover another profession. She had
always been fond of art and decora-
ton. In her work in the hospital
wards the things that struck her most
and palled upon her were the bare
ness and necessary austerity of the
surroundings. Her eyes longed for
beauty, for color, harmony in shape
and tone. She thought first of taking
up portraiture, but, realizing that she
was not skillful enough with the brush
for this, she decided to be an interior
decorator. So scarcely had she
abandoned the nurses uniform before

WAR ST!RS GENIUS
Germans Believed Snatching
Nitrogen From Air.
BOStOnian Recalls Beneficent
Effect of Great Conflicts.

Hot Springs Va, July 1S.-W. II
Bowker, of Boston, addressing the
National Fertilizers association con-
vention today, declared one of the
beneficent effects of the European
war would be cheaper nitrogen, and
predicted it probably would be dis
closed that the Grman chemists had
found new processes for making that
element, probably extracting it from
the air. '.One of the essential ingre-
dients of destructiv explosives is nj
trogen.' he said. Chile saltpeter has
been the chief chemical source. While
the ports of Germany appear to he
closed, she does not seem to be dis
turbed a bit. 1t is evident that Teu-
tons are getting nitrogen for their eN-
plosives and their agriculture from
some other source than Chilean M
trate, probably from coal and from
the air, by a new process.
After the war is over the world will
have the benefit of their discoveries.

THE MOST PRIMITIVE MEN.
They Are the ''Nechilli.'' or North
Pole Natives.

The North Pole natives alluded to
by Captain Amundsen in a recent lee
ture were discovered by him while he
was navigating his little craft, the
Gjoa, through the Northwest Passage
in 1903-'07 says a writer in The Lon

''Nechilli'' and considered them to be
the most primitive race on earth. No
white man had ever before invaded
their icy Businesses. Consequently
they were ignorant of the use of iron.
Their fishing implements were long
spears. fashioned out of reindeer horn
They knew no other method of pro-
curing fire than that of rubbing two

WILL SEND SCOUTS
Are Anxious to See How the
Plan Works.
Ready to Follow Our Lead if
We Are Successful.

That within ten years the free gate
plan will be in vogue at all the big
fairs in the country is the opinion of
Samuel E. Lux, general manager of
the first big free fair and exposition
that will be held at Topeka September
1917. Hundreds of letters have been
received at the local fair headquarters
inquiring about the free fair propo-
sition, and there will be representa-
tives here from prominent fairs to see
how the plan works.
c. B. Bills of Sacramento, Cal, ex-
senator, has written to say that if the
fair at Topeka is the big success eX-
pected, bill will be introduced in the
California legislature making possible
a free fair at Sacra mento. \ repre-
sentative will be sent here from Cali
fOrnia to attend the fair.
The Chamber of Commerce of Dem
yer is interested in the free fair at
Topeka, and a representative is ex-
pected to be sent here next Sepuem-
Der. The Colorado state fair NJ I'u-
eblO has been a failure because of
it is believed that with little cost to
the taxpayers of Denver and county a
free fair could be esta blished in that
city. The equipment and grounds are
availa BILE.
Letter from Tennessee.
The following is taken from a letter
received today by Mr.. LUX from ]. w.
Busswurn secretary of the Tennessee
state fair at Nashville: This is the
finest suggestion [ ever heard of and
| interested to the extent that l
want to see and keep track of your
enterprise so that we may do likewise
next year if 1 can raise the necessary
money.
Il hope you will be successful in
every way and 1 don't see how you
could help having at least $4,000 to
10000 every day under your order of
things
The free fair plan as worked out
for Topeka has been attracting atten-
ton in all parts of the country, news
papers and other publications having
devoted much space to the enterprise
which is something entirely new in
big fair circles.
A recent issue of Farm and Family
published at Louisville, Ky, contains
article about the free fair. which
includes an explanation of the plan
by Manager Lux. The Pacific Garden
published in PasadeR a, Cal, which at
first ridiculed the idea. has published
much com pIim entary comment.
The exhibits are already assured,
and the only thing that could hold
back the crowds would be adverse
weather conditions.
